The House - An Everlark Fanfiction {Completed}

Chapter Fourteen - How

4 days later
Katniss POV

I wake up with Peeta's arm wrapped around me and I silently thank everyone for voting to keep us both in. It is sad though because Cressida got evicted, she was one of the only people in the house I actually liked.

I decide to get up and make myself some breakfast, leaving Peeta in the bed to sleep.

PEETA POV (SURPRISE)

"Peeta" I hear someone say put its all a bit muffled. That is until I feel someone slap me, "Peeta get the fuck up!"

Okay that for sure isn't Katniss. I sit up and am greeted by Finnick. Where's Katniss is my first thought.

"Katniss is away getting breakfast" Finnick answers my unspoken question, "I need to talk to you though, alone, but you two haven't left each other's sides in 4 fucking days. What did that Gale mean by you told her you loved her?"

"I did" I state, "I told her about a week ago."

"And what did she say back?"

"Nothing" I mumble.

"Dude, I think Katniss is really nice and I really do like her, but she seems quite messed up right now, I wouldn't go and get yourself into that. PLUS you have only known her 3 weeks." Finnick responds.

"Says you Mr Annie Cresta" I snap back.

"Look I'm sorry, I just want to make sure you don't get hurt, that's all"

"Look Finnick," I mock, "people fall in love in weird ways, and regardless of what anyone says i fell in love with her on TV, I want to spend all of my time with her and just because you may not agree with it, doesn't mean I won't do it" I say before getting up and going through to the kitchen where Katniss stands eating at the counter.

I walk over to her and wrap my arms around her. She jumps a little at first, but then leans back into my touch, "Morning sleepy" she says before turning her head and placing a kiss on my neck.

"I'm not sleepy, you're just an early riser" I say back.

"Whatever you say baby" she responds whilst walking away from me with a smirk on her face.

Katniss goes back through to the bedroom, probably to get ready, so I decide to cook myself some eggs and bacon for breakfast.

When I've finished eating, I go back through to the bedroom to see Katniss doing her makeup on our bed. I don't really know why she wears that stuff on her face because she looks beautiful the way she is.

I sit down beside her and place a hand on her thigh and I see her breathing hitch a little but she quickly shakes it off as she continues her makeup.

Once she's done she lies back on the bed but I stay sitting up, my hand still on her thigh.

"Peeta" she whispers, "why do you love me?"

She really has no clue. She's gorgeous, funny, sexy, her smile makes me smile and her laugh, her laugh is so infectious, when she laughs you laugh.

"So many reasons" I answer her, because there is. I couldn't tell her all the reasons why I love her.

"How do you know you love me?" She asks.

"Because you know when you look at someone and I know with you. I mean haven't you noticed it? I look like a 10 year old looking at the love of his life" I laugh at the end.

She gives me a kind smile and sits up from the bed to bring her lips to mine.

"If that's how you know-" Katniss starts, "then I think I love you too" she whispers in my ear.

I stare at her in disbelief but she only nods with a shy smile on her lips. I bring my lips to her and we end up laying down on the bed.

God I would love to have her here and now but we can't on TV. So for now our kisses will just have to satisfy us.

That night when we go to sleep, I can't seem to fall asleep because my mind is running overtime. One thought keeps going around and around in my head and it's keeping a permanent smile on my face.

I can't believe she loves me back.
