Chapter 50

Peeta's P.O.V.

Today I'm gonna do it. Today I'm gonna ask Katniss to marry me.

But how am I gonna do it? I want it to be spectacular. I want it to be really special, because Katniss is a really special girl.

"Maybe... Take her to a restaurant..." Cato starts slowly and very thoughtfully.

My boys are trying to help me. But we're not getting anywhere. The girls are in the mall, shopping. The girls are trying to keep Katniss away from the house until we know for sure what it's going to be.

"Nah it's too simple, and it's too used, I want it to be special", I say.

"Dancing naked in the moonlight with candlelight shining upon your bodies", Finnick says.

"I can't believe you just said that", I say, trying not to die from laughter.

"Me either", Finnick says in a slightly embarrassed voice.

"You're really making me question your sexuality sometimes dude", Marvel chuckles, shaking his head. "I think Annie is the only proof we have of your sexuality".

"Oh come on", Finnick says.

Not even I, as Finnick's very best friend can disagree with Marvel in this, so I just nod.

"Hm!" Finnick says.

"Maybe... Take her to that meadow, make a picnicking, candles, yeah you know, girls like that stuff", Gale says. "Make this huge speech after you've eaten, and after that pop the question".

"Hmm", I make a sound of interest. "That does sound good".

It really does. Maybe I'll just do that.

Gale texts Madge, telling the plan. The rest of that day, the guys helps me to make the dinner. We pack a picnic and put everything in a car and drive out. We carry everything to the meadow and put everything under the big willow tree.

This process takes the whole day. It's really weird how it could take the whole day. It didn't seem like it took that long.

We drive back to the house and order pizza. Trying to make it seem like we've been here and only here all day long.

I just had time to wash and dry everything in the kitchen before the pizza arrived.

We hurry to pay the pizza and rush away the poor delivery guy who basically gets thrown to his car by Cato. But the girls will be here very soon.

We hurry to bring the three pizza cartons to the coffee table. We each take a peace and eat as fast as we can. I can't eat more than one because I'll be eating with Katniss later. But the rest of my boys looks almost sick after eating almost everything from the three pizzas very fast.

I start laughing at them and they just give me death glares.

"Oh the things we do for you", Marvel says. "Almost choking ourselves with pizza". They just have time to swallow and calm down their stomachs a bit before we hear the door open.

"I don't think I'll ever be able to eat pizza again", Gale says looking like he's gonna throw up. But the girls are here now, he can't throw up.

I quickly turn the tv on. God I'm in luck. F.R.I.E.N.D.S is on tv, something we could actually watch.

I breathe out in relief.

"Hola! We're home!" Glimmer's voice echoes through the house.

She enters the living room with the girls and a lot of bags.
