Chapter 28

Katniss P.O.V.

Because of my fight with Peeta last week, I totally forgot that it's my birthday today.

I'm currently lying in the bed. I woke up by myself. I can hear Peeta walk around outside the room, the door is slightly opened, that's why I can hear him.

But suddenly I hear that he's right outside the door and I close my eyes, pretending to be asleep.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Katniss, happy birthday to you", Peeta sings as he walks into he room, holding two trays with breakfast in his hands. Through my squinted eyes I see that Peeta only has boxer briefs on him.

I feel it tingle between my legs as imagine Peeta stand in our kitchen, cooking in only boxers. And just somehow, the boxers are no longer left in my imagination.

What do I do next? I start to smile, so of course now Peeta will see that I'm awake. Why can't I control my thoughts? Maybe no one can control their thoughts.

"Good morning baby", Peeta says when he realize that I'm awake.

I pretend to have just woken up and stretch in the bed, while sitting up leaning against the wall, putting my pillows behind my back.

I smile at Peeta as he carefully sets down the plates onto bed before sitting down beside me.

"Happy birthday baby", he says and gives me a soft quick kiss on the lips.

"Thank you", I smile. "Why haven't I ever heard you sing before?"

"Because I don't sing a lot", he chuckles.

"Well you should, you sing beautifully", I say. "Are those ... Cheese buns?!"

"Freshly made this morning only for you", Peeta smiles.

I grab one and take a big bite. I groan as I swallow it and Peeta laughs. I roll my eyes and take a bother big bite.

"You know what I like maybe even more?" I ask as I've swallowed down the whole cheese bun.

"No what?" Peeta asks looking at me with those big blue innocent eyes of his.

I lean forward towards Peeta, sliding my hand up his bare leg. Slowly. Tickling him the inside of his thigh with my fingertips. I cup his crotch in my hand and Peeta jerks up straight, hitting his back against the wall.

I giggle.

"That", I say.

"O-oh r-really?" He asks with a strained voice, still sitting up straight.

"Mhmm", I mumble against Peeta's ear, nibbing on his earlobe.

Peeta's friend starts rising in my hand, and that's when I leave him and jump out of the bed. My short green silk nightgown flutters around my thighs.

"Hey wow wow wow", Peeta says. "Where do you think you're going?"

"Get ready", I say. "Dad called last night remember? Wanted us to come over? Had a big surprise? Wanted to talk to you... Ring a bell?"
