Finding the Missing Piece: Book 3

Chapter Twenty-Three

Katniss POV- (The next morning)

"Good morning." I say to Peeta as he walks into the kitchen, his hair messy from sleep.

Peeta walks over to me and puts his hand sluggishly on my waist, kissing my cheek as if to say 'good morning.'

I throw some food onto two plates for each of us and turn around with them in hand.

"I made you some breakfast." I inform him as I slide a plate over to a place at the island. Peeta smiles sweetly and sits down. I grab my own plate and sit down next to him. "Did you sleep good?" I ask him, taking a bite of my food.

"Yeah. Did you?" He asks me sleepily.

"Yes."

He smiles softly and begins eating, "So, what do you want to do today?" He asks.

I shrug, "I don't know, whatever. We have the whole week with anyone bothering us. Five whole days just to ourselves."

Peeta laughs a little, "How did we do it before? Five days to do whatever we want sounds impossible."

"Definitely." I nudge him and he looks over, "What should we do?"

He smiles, "What if we went somewhere? Maybe we could go to a District we've never been to?" He suggests.

"Sounds good but we've been basically all over Panem." I remind him.

He laughs a little nodding, "I don't care what we do, honestly. As long as I am with you, I'm fine."

I smile as I chew up a piece of cinnamon toast and wash it down with some milk.

"I can't believe it. We are out of ideas."
He says shocked.

Letting a laugh escape my lips, I nod.

"We've done almost everything but nothing at all. You know?"

I nod my head, sitting up and resting my chin on my hand.

"Wanna go see Finnick and Annie?"

I shake my head, "No, I don't. I don't want to see anyone but you on our 'honeymoon'."

He chuckles, "Okay, well what do you want to do then?"

"I don't know..." I say bored.

"You're difficult. You know that, right?" He teases me.

I laugh, "Yes. I knew that very well."

"Good." Peeta mumbles, finishing some food from his plate.

"What if we went to the Capitol? It's super pretty there. Plus, I heard there's lots of cute girls." I tease him.

Peeta shakes his head at me, "You're the cutest and besides, I don't want to see Capitol girls. I wanna see you, my beautiful wife."

"Okay, well, you better make up your mind." I tease him with a little kick under the table.

He laughs and kicks me back, "Why do I love you so much?" Peeta chuckles.

I batt my eyelashes and make kissy faces at him, "Because I look like this." I tease him with my mirror-less primps.

"That's not the only reason, Katniss. It's because you're my bestest friend in the entire world and you're perfectly perfect and l just can't help but to love you so much." He exaggerates.

I laugh, rolling my eyes but feeling warm inside.

"Okay, then where could we go? We've been to almost every District."
