~ Katniss POV ~
I sit out the front of my house on the steps, waiting for Peeta to come around. Daisy quietly lays under the tree next to our back fence watching me. She probably wants to come out and play. I sigh and pull my phone out of my pocket and check the time. 2:35pm. He said he would be here around 2:30. It's only 5 minutes, but It's unusual that he's late. He's usually on time.
I look at my lock screen and smile to my self. It's a picture of Peeta and I at the beach in the water. He has sand all through his hair and all over his body. He's behind me with his arms around my waist. I also have sand everywhere. We're both laughing in picture, having a good time.
I hear the sound of a skateboard coming for up the road. It's just probably the kids that live down the road.
I hear it coming closer and Daisy starts barking. I look up from my phone and see Peeta riding on his skate board coming up the driveway. I just shake my head and grin.
"Where's your car?"
"Connor has it, he needed a car to pick his girlfriend up from the airport" He replies walking up to me.
I look into his eyes. Their such a beautiful colour, a deep ocean blue. My eyes are a boring brown colour but Peeta thinks there beautiful.
I give him a long passionate kiss then pull back.
"Your not expecting me to ride on that with you, are you?" I say pointing to his skate board.
"Well.... Yeah, I was thinking we could go for a ride, you could ride Prim's and I'll ride mine?" He says shrugging his shoulders.
"I can't ride a skateboard, and I don't think Prim would let my fat ass on her skateboard" I say folding my arms.
He just looks down. He pushes he skateboard towards me then looks up and raises an eyebrow. I know what his thinking.
"No, it's not that I don't trust you it's just..."
"Just what?" He says grabbing my hand and pulling me closer to him.
He leans in and sits his forehead on mine.
"Just.... I don't want to fall off, thats all" I whisper.
He just looks at me with a blank expression.
"Really?" He says tilting his head.
"Yeah, I've seen other people do it and it doesn't always go as they plan, you know, they hit a rock and the front hoes flying off, I don't want that to happen... I do like my face as it is" I say placing my hands on my cheeks.
He just chuckles and gets on his skateboard and rides it down the driveway and onto the road.
"Come on Kat, it will be fine, we'll just drive down the road to Cato's place" He say waving me over. Cato's house is only just down the road. It's like a property but in town. It's so huge.
I give in and make my way down the driveway to where Peeta is.
"Ok, just step on in front of me, but not to far forward or you'll flip the board up" He says putting he hands on my shoulders and pointing where not to stand.
I step on and get as close to Peeta and he wraps his arms around my waist, keeping me stable.
He pushes off and we wobble a bit but we start moving. He keeps pushing off an we get faster and faster. He keeps one arm around me and the other balancing himself. The wind pushes against my face and through my hair. Peeta is that bit taller than me so my hair doesn't go in his face.
We're not going too fast but fast enough to get us to Cato's quick enough.
We come the corner of the street and I feel Peeta's grasp get tighter.
He puts his head in the crook of my neck.
"Hold on" He says.
He turns to the side and switches arms and leans to one side, making the skateboard turn around the corner.
He turns back around so facing me.
