Forever Loved (BEING EDITED)

Chapter 7; Moving in

Katniss POV
   Its been almost 8 months now since I met Peeta. I have been a lot happier. We even decided to move in together and thats what we are doing today. It took me a while to agree to move in but Peeta was extremely patient and I really appreciate that. Peeta and I decided to move into his apartment since it was bigger and closer to our jobs. Prim will take my apartment since she just finished college.

    As I am getting all of my things together in boxes, I hear knocking on my door. Who could that be, I think as I drop what I'm doing to answer the door. I pull open my door to be greeted with Peeta's huge smile.

" Hey," he smiles kissing my lips. I smile while my lips are still pressed against his. " Is my favorite girl ready to move in with me?" he asks with a grin. I laugh.

" I'm so ready," I reply pulling him into the apartment. As soon as Peeta comes in he looks at all my things that I prepared to take with me.

    " I hope you have enough closet space for my clothes," I say laughing.

   " Yep," he says laughing with me. " I have a full closet with just junk in it that you could use... I cleaned it up just for you."

   " Well thank you. I can't wait to use it," I say and lean in for a kiss.

        --------30 minutes later--------
   Once we get everything loaded into the car I take one last look inside the apartment making sure I didnt forget anything. I never thought this day would come where I am moving in with the guy I love. It is sad to think that this wont be my house anymore but it is all worth it to be with Peeta.

    When I walk out and close the door behind me I see Peeta at the end of the hallway. I walk towards him.

    " Do you have everything" he asks.

    " Yep, I think I have everything," I tell him.

    " Alright... Lets get going" he says pulling me into a hug.

   The rest of the day consist of bringing in boxes to Peeta's house, unpacking boxes and trying to get comfortable. Around six o' clock Peeta and I both agree that we can't go another moment without food.

" Maybe we should go downtown... find a restaurant around there," Peeta suggests. I nod standing up and grabbing my purse.

" Let's go! I can't wait another moment," I say making Peeta chuckle.

" Okay," he laughs. " We can take your car. I'll drive," Peeta insists. I smile. We leave his apartment building and find my car in the outside parking lot. Peeta parks in the building's garage which allows one parking space for each apartment. We get in the car and pull off.

    " Im kind of in the mood for pizza... What do you want?" he asks politely.

    " Oh!" I exclaim. " Pizza sounds great right now," I tell him. We both have barely eaten all day and we are both starving. Anything sounds good right now.

   " Okay well, I know this really awesome pizza restaurant really close to here" Peeta tells me.

   " Great!" I say with a smile on my face. I look over and reach over to hold Peeta's hand that isn't on the steering wheel. He smiles when my hand touches his.

   About 5 minutes later we pull into a driveway of a place called Italy's Finest. We find a parking space and get out of the car. To be honest, I didnt expect this type of place. I thought it would be more like a restaurant where you pick up a box of pizza and just go home. This place is more of a nice , sit-in restaurant.

     " Table for two," Peeta tells the man at the front table and he leads us to a booth table. I hold Peeta's arm as we are being led to our seat.

   " This is very nice, I didnt expect this" I whisper to him.

    " I thought you would like it" Peeta replies as he gives me a smirk.

   We sit down and we start to have a conversation about living together. This conversation turns into a conversation about our future.

   " Well... in the future... do you think we could be married," Peeta asks and I look up from the menu.

I smile and laugh not knowing what to say. " I think that would be great if we were," I finally get out while blushing a little.

   He smiles and then the waiter comes. " Hi, i'm going to be helping you today. Can I get you something to drink?" I nod. Peeta and I both order wine. Once the waiter brings it to our table, we have more time to talk.

   " Do you ever want kids?" I ask Peeta and he smiles.

   " Of course I would... with you," he says taking a sip of wine. " Do you want kids?" Peeta asks me.

   It takes me a minute to answer but I finally do. " Yeah I do," I reply honestly. " Just not too soon. I dont want to rush anything."

   " Me either," Peeta says. " But eventually we could settle down, get a nice house-" Peeta is cut off by my chuckling. " What?" he asks with a slight smile.

" Nothing..." I say with a small smile. Peeta seems so excited about us having a life together. When he talks about settling down, getting married and buying a nice house, I can see how much he really loves this relationship. And I adore that about him.

Peeta and I both work at well known and popular places so we both get paid a good amount of money. If we put our money together we have a lot. I think Peeta it also might be exciting him that we could really create a great life for each other.

   We decide to get a pie of pizza to share and take the leftovers home. This was a great place to come after all of our work today. When we get home, I put the left overs in the fridge and take things out of some more boxes. The closet that Peeta says he has for me is perfect! It the same size as the one I had in my apartment. Maybe even a little bit bigger.

Its 10 o'clock now and I'm still hanging things up. When I'm by the closet I feel like someone is behind me so I turn around. Peeta is standing there smiling.

" Hey why don't you take a break, lets watch a movie," he says and pulls me to the couch in his living room.

As we are sitting close together on the couch watching the movie I say " Hey you know what would go great with this movie?"

" What?" Peeta asks.

" Leftovers from the pizza place," I say and smirk as Peeta nods in agreement. I get up to go to the fridge to get the pizza. Peeta and I watch the movie and talk all night. Life can't get any better than it is right now.
