After everyone eats music starts, slowly. A white expanse of tiled floor is lit by blue lights. Peeta cocks his eye brows at me. He holds his hand out to me, my heart thuds. "Dance with me, Katniss?" he asks me. "Yes, Peeta. I'd love to" I said and get up out of my chair. He releases my hand and awaits me on the other side. Johanna, Jack and many others are already dancing including Johanna's three friends. We find an open space, filled with no one. Madge is at the end, playing with our kids. I wrap my hands around Peeta's neck and breath him in. He smells so vulnerable, so Peeta. His parents, which shocks me are talking to our kids. Peeta wraps his hands around my waist. It feels so right to be dancing with Peeta, even when I'm not much of a dancer. He rests his head on my shoulder, we slowly walk around in circles. Not quite sure if we are even 'dancing'. We go forward and back, then side to side.
He kisses me so lightly I could barely feel it's presence. I kiss him back right on his lips. "This reminds me so much of our wedding" he said. "I know if only it was like this, no sudden chaos" I said, sounding a bit sad. He spins me around him steadily. I grin and fall onto him lightly. He laughs. I laugh, I wish I could freeze this moment right now, and live in it forever. If only. I remember Peeta saying that a long while ago, years ago even, when we were on the rooftop. We were relaxing being the 'star crossed lovers' or we were friends at the time. I can't believe I could remember that. He didn't have to wish because here we are, kids of our own, living on our own, and in love. He didn't know at the time and neither did I. I'm so glad I'm with him.
We dance around in slow motionless circles. He looks straight into my eyes. His eyes look so soft, so Peeta. After what seemed like hours, the music stops. "Thank you for all coming today!" Jack announces. In the spotlight, at the end Johanna and Jack stand hand in hand. "It's been about an hour of dancing, so now we celebrate. Not for kids though" he said and runs. He comes out with a barrel full of ice and alcohol. Haymitch runs over, mom surprisingly gets herself one.
...................
I feel so hazy, so out of this world. I even decided to drink for Johanna's sake."How is it Katniss?" Johanna asks, swigging through another bottle. "Good, actually I got the apple one. It's crisp and refreshing" I said.She nods. Jack besides her nods and drinks through his fourth one. Mom leaves with Madge, and our kids. But really I'm not sure because everything is distant and blurry. "Katniss you want another one?" Peeta asks me, sounding sooo sexy. God I'm drunk. My emotions explode. "Let's just go to bed?" I said, like asking myself. "Okayyy" he slurs. In my vision Haymitch collapses to the ground. But I'm not sure-- really, he's not hurt is he?
PLEASE VOTE! But seriously- VOTE! Why isn't anyone?! D:
