Operation Everlark ~ Everlark

Chapter Fourteen: The Date

Peeta's POV

Katniss and I sit in the car in silence. I get tired of the silence and quickly look to where Katniss is sitting from the passenger's seat. She is fiddling with her fingers and I can tell that something is up. I turn my gaze back to the road and focus on driving.

"Anything wrong?" I ask.

"Nothing. Really." she replies.

I simply nod my head until an idea comes into my mind. I remember the times that Katniss sung in class. She had a really good and nice voice.

"Katniss can you sing?" I ask and this takes her by surprise.

"What?" she asks and I chuckle.

"Come on. Just for today." I beg.

"Um okay." she replies and clears her throat.

Take away your things and go
You can't take back what you said, I know
I've heard it all before, at least a million times
I'm not one to forget, you know

I don't believe, I don't believe it
You left in peace, left me in pieces
Too hard to breathe, I'm on my knees
Right now, ow

I'm so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up
I'm so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough
Oh, that same old love
Oh, that same old love

I smile when I hear her beautiful voice. To be honest, I want her to be a singer. She's a really good one. Whenever she sings, I realize that all the birds stop to listen because everything is now quiet.

I'm so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart
I'm so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart
Oh, that same old love
Oh, that same old love

I'm not spending any time, wasting tonight on you
I know, I've heard it all
So don't you try and change your mind
Cause I won't be changing too, you know

She finally feels comfortable singing to me and even snaps her fingers to the beat of the song. I grin even wider as I drive to the pancake house we went to in our first date.

You can't believe, still can't believe it
You left in peace, left me in pieces
Too hard to breathe, I'm on my knees
Right now, 'ow

I'm so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up
I'm so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough
Oh, that same old love
Oh, that same old love

I suddenly feel like I'm in heaven with an angel that's singing a song to me. I just want to grab her and kiss her like there is no tomorrow. God, how can she do this to me?

I'm so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart
I'm so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart
Oh, that same old love
Oh, that same old love

I'm so sick of that, so sick of that love
I'm so sick of that, so sick of that love
I'm so sick of that, so sick of that love
I'm so sick of that, so sick of that love

I'm so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up
I'm so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough
Oh, that same old love
Oh, that same old love

I park my car in a vacant parking lot and she looks around while continuing to sing. Her eyes widen a bit and I don't know why. I thought she didn't remember anything. But she continues to sing so I think that it was just my imagination playing tricks on me.

I'm so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart
I'm so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart

Oh, that same old love
Oh, that same old love

I do a slow clap and she smiles wide at me and puts both of her hands together. We laugh because she is very proud of her singing voice. Truth is, she should really be because she sings like an angel.

We enter the pancake house and I relive everything by ordering our food while she waits in our table. I get our tray of food and place it on the table in our booth. She stares at it weirdly then we start to eat.

"Why did you bring me here?" she asks out of the blue.

"This place is very memorable to me." I smile.

She sighs. "Anything special that happened here?" she asks while popping a piece of pancake in her mouth.

"I had my first ever date here." I smile.

"Oh okay." she replies and we continue with our food.

I watch her eat while I'm chewing my food. She still looks cute after everything that has happened. I see something at the corner of her mouth and I grab a tissue to wipe it. Her eyes linger in mine while I slowly wipe the maple syrup.

Everything goes into slow motion after that. We finish eating our food and as you may have probably guessed, our next stop is Starbucks. But I'm not bringing her to the meadow. Yet. I want to take everything really slow even if I know that it isn't what I want.

I order my usual Mocha Frappe while she orders her Strawberries and Creme Frappe. We sit outside the café on a park bench under a cherry blossom tree. We slowly sip on our drinks and she turns to look at me with that smile that can light up a whole town.

"I wonder how the birds sing so beautifully." she says.

"But you sing better than those birds." I say.

She smiles at me and sips some of her Frappe. A strand of hair falls on her face and she goes to put it behind her ear but I beat her to it.

Dang, how is she this beautiful?

---

I reach her house and I park the car right in front of it. We both exit the car and I walk her to the first three steps in front of her house's door. I take her hand in mine and she turns around. I quickly place my lips on hers and pull away.

I take this time to look at her expression which is obviously shocked. Her eyes are wide and her mouth is slightly apart. I smile and take both of her hands with mine now

"Katniss, will you be my girlfriend?" I ask.

Hey guys I hope you all liked the chapter.

I couldn't make it any longer anymore because the ending is very perfect. So Peeta brought Katniss on a date which was very similar to their first date. Peeta asked Katniss to be his girlfriend again. What will Katniss say?
