*PEETA POV*
I wake up with someone in my arms. I start to freak out a bit but then i see that its Katniss. I smile of having her right beside me. Her mother already knows that she's here and she trusts me to take care of Katniss. I respect her for that. I turn to Katniss and just look at her perfect features. Her messy braid from yesterday hanging on her shoulders, her gentle, warm hands sliding on my chest, her pink, soft lips moving slowly as she breathes, shes perfect. I love everything about her. All her insecurities are her best features. Shes perfect like an angel and I thank God for having her in my life.
She starts blinking her eyes. I must have woken her up a bit.
"Hey," she says.
"Good morning your royal highness." I bow down to her. She giggles.
"Goofball." I smile.
"I hate to bother you from your sleep but would you like me to make some cheesebuns?" I ask her. That makes Katniss jump up and clap her hands together. I laugh. Even if Katniss is the most stubborn girl in the world, I can always make her smile.
"Well ill be downstairs making them, you can come down whenever you want, my family is working at the bakery so we have the whole house to ourselves." She nods and i head downstairs.

*KATNISS POV*
I get up and decide to join Peeta downstairs to help him set the table for us. I swear im freakin starving and cant handle one more second without food. I run downstairs and set the table. Peeta looks at me in surprise.

"You sure are hungry." he laughs.
"YES, im starving." I say.
"Well good cause' the cheesebuns are ready." he puts a large plate of cheesebuns on the table and we start eating them. A few minutes after we dig in, Peeta speaks up.

"Hey i was wondering, we are all alone today and we dont have anything to do, so i was thinking maybe we can go to the park or something and just be imature for one day. We can kinda have like a playdate like we used to have." He says shyly. Oh i just love my cutie patootie.
"OMG, i would love that Peeta." Peeta's face brightens up.
"Great! I'll wash the dishes and you go get ready. I went to your house when you were asleep and got you a bit of your clothes and makeup for today." This boy can not be anymore perfect than he already is.

I head upstairs and decide to wear a forest green V-neck and some ripped skinny jeans. I put my hair in a Dutch braid and put on some light makeup. Once im ready i head downstairs and tell Peeta im ready. He dresses into some clothes and we head out the door and into his car.

We arrive at the park. We set our picnic basket and blanket on the grass. Peeta packed some sandwiches for us to eat. We eat them and have a small chat. When i finish the last piece of my sandwich i stand up.

"Race ya to the slide!" I yell as i start running of to the slide.
"Oh no you dont!" Yells Peeta as he catches up to me. We race each other there and as i approach the jungle gym, Peeta grabs my waist and spins me around in circles. He kisses my lips as he spins me around. I smile under the kiss.

"I love my stinky, big loser." I say.
"You have won my heart once again." He kisses my forehead. I run up to the slide and sit on it. Peeta sits behind me and we make a little train. He holds on to my waist as we slide down. As we get to the bottom i decide to scare Peeta a bit. I run up to the biggest tree i could find and climb onto the highest branch. Peeta runs to the tree as soon as he sees me up here.

"Katniss get down from there. I dont want you getting hurt." Yells Peeta. I decide to horrify Peeta. I hang upside down and only grab the tree branch by my legs.

"KATNISS GET DOWN RIGHT NOW PLEASE DONT DO THAT, THATS VERY DANGEROUS." I smile but decide to stop before i give Peeta a heart attack. I climb back down. Peeta runs up to me and hugs me tightly.
"I don't know what I would've done if i lost you." He says as he hugs me. I stare into his eyes.
"Im not going anywhere, Im staying right where i am here, with you." He kisses my lips. Fireworks flow through my body as his lips move against mine. I let go and decide to calm down a bit and go to the swings. I sit on one of the swings.

"Push me Peetie Pie!" I say in a 5 year old girly voice.
"Haha okay princess." Peeta starts pushing me. His strong arms push agains my back.
"Higher, HIGHER!" I yell through the wind.
"Okaaay."he says smiling. He starts twisting the swing around. I start losing my grip as his arms push the swing in circles.
"No Peeta THATS TOO FAST, STOP IIIT." I yell holding on tightly. Peeta stops the swing and carries me bridal style onto our picnic blanket.
"Now thats a good scare." I stick my tongue out at him. He gasps and lays down. Just when i think its all over, Peeta starts tickling me rapidly. He knows that i HATE tickling so much. He tickles me so much that i cant even breath. I laugh so hard that my stomach starts to hurt. I try to get out of his embrace but he is too strong for me.
"NO....PEETA STOP IT, ITS UGH TO MUCH TICKLING!" I yell under my breath.
"TAKE THAT BACK THEN." he says.
"OKAY, OKAY IM SORRY." He stops and lets me go. I catch my breath and lay down on the ground.

"That was fun." says Peeta.
"Yeah, for you." He smiles.
"Hey wanna play a game?" Says Peeta.
"Sure, whats it called?" I ask.
"Real or not real. We just basically ask each other some questions and if they are true you say real and if they'r not true, then you say not real. Pretty self explanatory."
"Okay you start." I answer.
"Okay, lets starts easy. Youre favorite color is still green, real or not real." He asks.
"Real, always has been and never will change. You always double tie your shoelaces, real or not real."
"Real, i just cant stand that my shoelaces might not stay tight if i dont double tie them. Okay," He stares into my eyes and smiles.

"You love me. Real or not real."
I tell him, "Real."
