She Has My Heart Forever

Chapter 46 Who She Is and Still Burning Love

Katniss POV

We walk in with Rye and Emily, up to the bathroom. We help them wash up and we walk to the living room.

"What happened?" I ask worried.

"We were in the middle of the woods in a little shack. We got out and tried to get back home but somebody shot at us. We started to run and we saved by a woman." Rye says sitting down with Emily snuggling close to him.

"A woman? Just walking around the woods?" Peeta asks.

"She was hunting. Her name was Amy Lynn." Emily says making my heart drop. "She said she knew you."

"Amy Lynn?" I say worried. "That can't be."

"Who is she?" Rye asks. They all look at me, confusion and wonder in they're faces.

"An old friend." I say looking down. "Look, you've both been through alot. Go rest okay?" they sigh, annoyed I wouldn't tell them. They stand up and walk to Rye's room.

"Who is this Amy Lynn?" he asks.

"Its nobody Peeta." I say standing up. He grabs my wrist and pulls me back down.

"Tell me Katniss Mellark." he says making me smile.

"Okay..alright. Amy Lynn was my best friend when I was very little. My father would take us out and go hunting all the time cause her father was long dead. We did everything together but then....it came out that my father slept with her mother and...she was born. She was my half sister. My mom freaked out and forbid me to hang out with her anymore and she was left with her mom. After about a year I heard her mother and her had died." I say. He sits there, taking everything in and nodding.

"So why is she in the woods?" he asks. I shrug.

"How should I know?" I ask. He nods and looks to the kitchen. "The most important thing is that Rye and Emily are back." he smiles.

"I know, your right." he says. "How about I cook us something up? Something good?" he stands up.

"Wait..how about I cook?" I say. He chuckles and knees down in from of me.

"Katniss. I love you. I really really really love you but....I also really really really love my life and dying from food poisoning is not on my list of things to do before I die." he says making me frown. "Baby...I'm just joking. You can help me." I stand up and we walk to the kitchen.

"Okay..what can I do?" I ask.

"Umm....we'll make some...rice in gravy along with some meat. I've got some in the fridge." he says. I nod and get some out.

"This..is right?" I ask. He smiles and nods.

"Yes Kitty, this is right." he says. "Alright, what kind should we make with it?"

"Well....what kind is there?" I ask.

"Beef, pork, chicken." he says pointing to each.

"Chicken! I love chicken." I say smiling. He laughs and puts the others away.

"Can you cut it up for me?" he asks.

"Yes Peeta, I know how to cut meat." I say taking a knife. He nods and turns to make the rice. I cut the chicken into good sized pieces. He looks over and smiles.

"Good job Kitty."he says. "Now we can fry it." I nod and hand him the cutting board with the chicken. He slides it into the pan and I stand there, watching him as he cooks. He notices and smiles. I lean against the counter and admire everything about him. His beautiful blue eyes, the way he smiles when he looks at me. His large arms, gracefully moving the pan, stirring the rice and chicken. His chest slowly moving as he breaths steadily, the way his ashy blonde hair stairs cover his eyes when he looks down. Everything about him makes my heart skip a beat, even after so long. "What you looking at?"

"At you." I say making him smile again.

"Why?" he asks walking over to me and wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Your so beautiful." I say making him give me a confused, amused look.

"Beautiful?" he asks. I nod and pull him down for a kiss. His lips sweet and soft.

"I love you Peeta Mellark." I say making him smile. He holds me tightly and kisses me again.

"I love you Katniss Mellark." he says reaching up and stroking my cheek. "Always." my heart jumps and I rest my head against his chest. Listening to his steady heartbeat. After so many years...how love is still burning.
