Katniss' POV:
I wake up in a pile of scrunched up duvets, the other side empty. A smile appears across my face as I remember what happened last night. Wow. There's one question though... Where's Peeta?
I get up slowly, trying to not make my hangover headache any worse. A faint sound comes from the bathroom, so I quietly make my way to that room. I peer around the door to see if it's Peeta. It is, but he's talking to himself. He's actually looking in the mirror and talking to himself. How odd. But what could he be saying?
"Hey, Katniss." He says still looking in the mirror. "There's something that I've always been meaning to tell you. No, Peeta. That makes you sound weak and stalker-like." He breathily laughs and sighs at the same time. "Hey, Katniss. I need to talk to you. No, if I say that she'll get upset. Urghhhhhhhhhh! Katniss, I love you." I silently gasp while he carries on trying different voices. "I. Love. You. I love you. I LOVE YOU, KATNISS. Katniss, I'm in love with you."
He loves me? No. Yes.
There's only one way to find out.
I step out into the middle of the doorway.
"There's something you've been meaning to tell me...?" I smile nervously. "You know, in a way that doesn't sound stalker-like."
He turns around, shocked. "I, urm, I love you...?" He says scratching that back of his neck.
"Are you telling me or asking me?" I chuckle.
"Telling you." He replies quickly. "I, Peeta Mellark, am in love with you, Katniss Everdeen."
"Can I tell you something?" I say.
"Yeah, of course." Peeta replies.
"I love you too." I say and crash my lips onto his. His lips move in sync with mine, in a sweet, yet passionate and loving way. We break away, and rest our foreheads against each other.
Peeta leans forward, putting his lips next to my ear.
"By the way," His hand moves from my waist to my bum. "Last night was great." He says seductively.
I pull away and wink. Followed by a strut out of the bathroom so that I can prepare for the coming day.

Looking at my reflection, I smooth down my black and white striped crop top, then pull my denim shorts up. I smile to myself knowing that now I don't have to try so hard to impress Peeta. Wait. Are me and him together now? I have to check.
"Peeta?" I call. He jogs out of the bathroom.
"Are you okay?" He has a worried expression on his face.
I walk up to him and sling my arms around his neck lazily. "Are we, you know... Together now?"
"I hope so." He laughs.
"So now I am no longer single?" I ask.
"Nope." He replies, popping the 'p'. "You're taken and all mine."
"I like the sound of that." I say, brushing my lips against his. He reacts to this and kisses me softly.
"You look great today." He says out of nowhere. "In fact, you look hot."
I laugh and drag him out the door to the lobby, where the rest of the gang will be.
As soon as we step through the doorway a round of applause envelopes us.
"What?" Peeta says, confused.
"You both lost your v-card to one another." Cato says, as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.
"Your point is?" I say pointedly.
"Well... Are you two a thing now or what?" Finnick almost yells.
"No?" I say and I know Peeta will play along.
"Duh, why would we be?" Peeta tells them, hugging me from behind and starts to kiss my neck.
They all look really confused. We just look at them and laugh.
"Jesus, guys. You all knew how we felt about each other." Peeta explains.
They all clap again, this time even louder. Finnick adds in a wolf whistle.
"What are we waiting for?!" Johanna interrupts. "Let's go!"
We all cheer.
Marvel claims were off to the beach today so he leads us to the sun beds that he got while we were all still asleep.
I take off my clothes to reveal my white bikini underneath, while Peeta states at me wide-eyed. I smirk and sit on his lap, tracing the outline of his toned chest. He pulls me in close so that my leg is over him while he lies back. If I'm not mistaken he's trying to hide his erection.
He looks down at me and seconds later we end up in a heavy make-out session.
The whole day is full of laughing, kissing and swimming. Perfect.
