Finding a dandelion in the snow

Chapter 2: Joking around

Chapter 2

Katniss P.O.V.

"You won't ever get me!" I scream and run up the stairs.

"Oh yes I will!" Peeta shouts, running after me.

I laugh so loud I can just barely hear Peeta's steps in the stairs. Just as I'm about to grab the handle to my room my feet leaves the floor.

I scream in exciting joy as Peeta lifts me up from the floor. I throw around with my legs and arms, trying to get out of Peeta's grip, but he's too strong for me, I don't have a change.

He walks into my room and throws me down onto my queen size bed. He hovers over me and starts to tickle every inch of my body. I roar out with laughter.

I have a weak spot, and that is that I'm so damn ticklish.

"Now tell me!" Peeta says, continuing to tickle me.

"Never..." I gasp out of breath, laughing.

"As you wish", Peeta says and tickles me even more.

I almost can't handle it. I don't get any air into my lungs because I'm laughing so hard.

"Okay I give up", I scream laughing like a lunatic.

Peeta tickles me even more.

"I didn't quite hear you", he teases.

"I'm sorry I smashed batter in your face!" I roar with laughter.

Peeta stops tickling me, looking at me with a sly smile.

"Thank you so very much", He says. "I am truly grateful for your care and concern".

I giggle a devilish giggle, roll around and bury my face into my soft and puffy pillow.

Peeta was making pancakes and I got the genius idea to throw the batter in his face. Damn he looked hilarious. He waited for about ten minutes, after I let my protective guard down before attacking. He put a piece of butter into my bra. I took it away and threw it into the wall, before running away screaming.

We're not this boring couple. We're fun. We always mess with each other, teasing the hell out of one another, annoying one another, but we love each other so much so of course there are tenderness and lovey dovey moments as well.

But I love fun because I'm so childish. Peeta is also childish, maybe that's why we fit so good together. We think alike, and we like the same things. It's always been like that, even when we weren't a couple, from the time we were best friends.

I love my life. I love my family and I love my friends. And of course I love my boy Peeta. He makes me happier than I ever thought I could be. I thought I was perfectly happy before I realized my feelings for him and when he told me that he loved me too, I literally thought I'd explode with joy and happiness. Like my body couldn't take that much happiness at once.

I can't believe how my life can be so good. There are people in the world that has nothing at all. That's why Peeta and I are sponsor parents for a child in Africa. I want to do at least some difference.

Finnick laughed when I told him. Not the sponsor thing, he thinks that's a good thing. He laughed about the fact that Peeta and I together are sponsor parents. He calls the little girl 'little Everlark daughter', as in mine and Peetas daughter, and put together our last names. I didn't know what to do when he first called us Everlark, so I just burst out laughing.

Finnick can be crazy sometimes. Absolutely crazy. But caring and sweet as well. That's why he's such a great friend. He's like my brother. Gale as well. They're like my big brothers. And between the two of them and Peeta I feel totally protected. As does Annie and Madge. Annie sees Gale and Peeta as her brothers and Madge sees Finnick and Peeta as brothers. And of course all of the boys sees us as sisters. We're like one big happy family.
