Real or not real?

[7]This Did NOT Just Happen!!

As Peeta is putting the finishing touches on breakfast, I glide up the stairs and into my bedroom.

I look around and admire it for a minute. I never really did before.

Okay back to reality no more spacing out miss Everdeen. Phew. What a rough night it was.

I walk to Peeta and I's closet. I scan my clothes and choose an outfit that is one of Peeta's favorites. He's always satisfied when I wear it.

A sunset orange-ish color tank top with buttons going down the front. I then put on a pair of white jean shorts and I'm ready to go. Oh, I almost forgot, hmm. How about... Ah! There they are. My orange flip flops to match. Peeta got me this outfit for my birthday two years ago, I'm surprised it still fits.

I then skip into the bathroom as i admire my brown hair cascading down my back. I guess I also never bothered to realized it needed brushed.

As I stroke my hair with my brush, actually, it's not mine. It's Prim's . I saved it from the ashes of twelve. It was her favorite. After she died and I took it back to twelve, I've been using it. It's one thing that makes me feel like I'm with her.

I then gently side braid my hair off the side of my shoulder. That's another thing about Prim. She always admired my beauty, even though there was nothing to admire about it. I still remember the day of the reaping she said she wished she looked like me. I know people just say this to be nice, but Prim was honestly gorgeous. I'm so blessed to have had a sister that amazing that's been by each other's sides forever.

I escape out of our bedroom and down the stairs. Peeta turns around and looks at me as I stand at the bottom of the staircase.

"Who knew there was such a fascinating girl in this world," he says staring at me. I smile and blush as I reach the floor. I walk over to Peeta who is placing a case of flowers on the table.

I wrap my arms around his neck and give him a little kiss. He turns around and lifts me from under my armpits into the air. I gasp at first and then start giggling as reliably spins me in circles.

Not that I'm saying I don't like it at all (because I love it) but why is Peeta in such a good mood?

He puts me down and kisses my forehead from above. I walk over to the table and sniff the flowers Peeta sat on the table, now noticing they were rues. They smelled heavenly.

"Aw! Peeta! These are so sweet and smell gorgeous!" I compliment him,

"I knew you'd love them," he replies. "Cmon babe! Let's go! You ready?"

"Yeah!"

Me and Peeta hold hands as we walk into town. He told me that first, we could looks around in some stores. He said to inform him on anything I liked. Someone's getting spoiled today!

As we walk past store after store, there's something that catches my attention.

Sitting in a window, a perfectly white ball gown-ish type of dress, oh, a wedding dress is there, waiting to be purchased by a lucky owner. Wow. It's gorgeous. It has one strap that goes over the left shoulder and diamonds everywhere!

Peeta must have noticed I slowed down to admire the dress and nudged me in the arm.

"Isn't that a stunning dress," he exclaims with a smirk," it would be ten times more stunning on you, ya know."

"It is lovely, Peeta," I say.

As we walk past the jeweler, I look inside and there's a lady standing behind a counter, I guess she worked there, smiling and winking at Peeta. Huh. They must know each other.

"Who is she?" I question.

"Oh. She's a, uh friend of mine that, that I went to school with."

"Really ? What's her name I should know her then."

He replies a but too quickly and says "ohyouwouldntknowher,"

"Okay,"

Peeta shields my eyes with his one hand as he holds my hand with the other and guides me to the last destination of the day.

He sits me down on something that feels a bit hard. He uncovered his hands, soon enough for me to know I'm sitting on a bench. Not only that but under a willow tree. In front of a lake. This, this is Peeta and I's spot. We always visit it, just not as often anymore.

I start tearing up.

"Surprise!!" He says excitedly.

"Oh my gosh, Peeta! This is, it's incredible! Thank you so much!"

"No problem, babe!" He kissed me on the cheek. "Wanna go for swim?"

"Oh sorry Peeta I don't have-" he cuts me off as he pulls out one of those big beach bags that holds out bathing suits and towels for each of us.

"Wow!" I say. "In that case, let's go!"
___________________________
Peeta and I finish our 20 minute swim in the cool refreshing lake, he then pulls out a large picnic basket with practically a feast in it! We both scarf down the food in a matter of minutes just as the sun is about to set and the temperature is about to drop.

I've changed into my regular outfit as Peeta and I sit with our backs on the willow tree and our eyes towards the sunset. What a fascinating day.

"Peeta this is stunnin-" he stops me, once again.

He stands up pulling me up with him. What's he up to now?

"Katniss Everdeen, ever since the day I set eyes on you, I knew I'd permanently fallen in love with you. And then as the years grew on , it kept in growing. And I kept learning little by little about you and your perfect flaws. The day of the reaping we both got picked I was so joyful because I knew even though we were going to die, at least we thought, I knew I would do it with you. And then, in the arena, the moment you found me and we were in that cave was, was unforgettable. That was the one time I thought you actually loved me." I started tearing up." And when we won, I was so glad you were alive. Because I was dreadfully worrying I wouldn't be able to protect you. Then the quell happened, I thought you absolutely hated me, especially during the victory tour. I wanted it all to be real not just "let's get married or else the president will kill us ". When we were in the quell, though, I knew it had grown to be true. How you risked your life for me and how you wouldn't go to sleep to protect me. Then the kiss happened and I felt like the luckiest guy alive because I knew it was real. After that we got separated and still managed to get each other back as a team," I was full out sobbing now, "now, I'm lucky I have you and as long as I do, I'll be okay. The quell thing, was all an act and I want it to be real now, Katniss Everdeen, will you marry me?"
