Katniss and Peeta Mellark:There are Far Worse Games to Play

Chapter 2

I let him pull me behind him and I cling to his arm. He opens the door and when I walk in behind him, I shut the door. I lay on the bed and then he does after making sure the windows are open. We start kissing for forever then I start to pull away after I get the urge to pull his shirt off. "Are you ok Katniss?", Peeta asks. "Yeah...", I say, unconvincingly. "We don't have to do it if your not comfortable Katniss", Peeta says after a long, uncomfortable pause. "No it's ok. I'm fine I promise", I reply. After this I basically rip his shirt off. He seems ok with it, though. After a while we get serious and the rest of the night goes by in a blur....

I wake up in the morning and I realize that I'm still laying on top of Peeta. I honestly don't know how he could sleep like that. I move closer to him and lay my head on his chest to hear his steady heartbeat. After a while I look around our room, wondering what time it is. I take a guess at about nine because sunlight is now streaming through the open windows and I can hear birds chirping outside. After a little while, Peeta wakes up too. "Morning beautiful", he says to me. "Morning handsome", I reply, before making out with him for ages. I hear a knock on the door and I jump, for some unknown reason. "I'll get it", Peeta says. He gets up after I roll off of him. After he leaves I sit up in bed and hear him open the door. "Hi Annie", I hear him say.

Suddenly I start dreading seeing her. It's not that I dislike her. It's because of what happened with Finnick. I still feel really guilty that he didn't come back to Annie and his unborn son. Annie, after getting over the initial grief told me not to blame myself for his death. It wasn't technically my fault. It's was president Snows. I get up and get changed then go downstairs to greet Annie and her son. "Hi Annie", I say as soon as I see her. "Hi Katniss", she replies. I see Finnick and Annie's son standing just behind Annie. "Hey Finnick", I say to him. He looks at me, shyly. "What do you say to Katniss, Finnick?", Annie asks him. "Hi Auntie Katniss", he says, after comming out from behind Annie. "Hi Uncle Peeta", Finnick says to Peeta after he talks to me. "Hey Finnick", Peeta replies. After a little while Peeta takes Finnick down to the bakery and I sit in mine and Peeta's living room, talking to Annie. "So how are you going, Annie?", I ask her. "Great, actually", she replies. "How's Finnick doing?", I ask after a little while. "He's doing good. He always asks about his dad, like usual. He's looking forward to starting school next year, in the fall", Annie says quickly, after getting tears in her eyes when she mentions Finnick. "Well that's good. At least he can have something to look forward to", I reply. Annie nods her head in agreement. It must be tough for Annie without having Finnick around anymore. Must be why she named her son Finnick. So then she could always have Finnick by her side. It's a good name, really. Finnick looks like his dad, the sex god of District 4.
