“C’mon, I have to show you something.” Peeta says as we are almost at the beach. I wonder why he is so giddy all of the sudden and I can feel his hands shaking, too. His voice sounds shaky, so I know something is up. Peeta’s voice usually sounds so strong and confident, it’s weird seeing him like this.
When we reach the beach, I just stare into the ocean. Peeta and I just stand there in silence for a while. Until he pulls me in for a kiss. We fall onto the sand, still kissing passionately, all tanged in each other… until I break away. I look to the ocean then back to Peeta. I place my hand on his check, staring into his eyes. “You know one of my favorite things about coming here… to Four?” “What’s that, love?” Peeta says caressing my cheek. I pause before I answer. “Looking straight into your eyes and then back at the ocean. It’s perfect.” I say thinking about how intriguing his eyes are to me. “You know what my favorite part is?” Peeta asks, with his sexy voice, as I shake my head. “Seeing your hair move with the ocean breeze and watching the sun set with you. But there’s about to be a new favorite part of mine.” He says giving me a kiss on my forehead as I just sit there looking confused at his words. When begin to stare back into the ocean, Peeta begins to talk.
“Do you remember what we were talking about on the train earlier?” Peeta asks.
“Ya, why?”
“I knew from the moment you came over that night and told me you loved me, I knew I wanted to do this.” Peeta breaks away and gets on one knee. I just sit there in complete shock and silence.
“When I was five years old and saw you at school, I knew you were someone more than special to me. I loved the way you wore your hair in two braids. I loved the way you sang the Valley Song. I loved how you looked so shy." Peeta pauses almost as if he is painting pictures with his mind about those memories.
"I think about the day I threw you the bread, all the time. I think about when you volunteered for Her, all the time. I think about when you saved me… saved us. You risked your life for me countless time, and I know for a fact, I would be dead right now if it wasn't for you." He pauses again almost in pain.
"When I even tried to kill you, you still looked at me with those loving eyes. You still saw and see me as me and not me with trackerjacker venom.” He pauses and now I am in tears. “Katniss, when I was being tortured by the Capitol, I couldn’t remember who I was or if I loved you or if you loved me or if you were a mutt, but that day when you told me you loved me, every memory of every kiss, laugh, and of every moment of us was full in my mind. Katniss, I love you and I will never stop loving you. Even when I take my last breath I will keep loving you, always.” Peeta starts to laugh, and now I am sure I look like an idiot because I am balling my eyes out. “I have been waiting since I was five for this moment, Katniss Everdeen, will you marry me?” Peeta pulls out the small mysterious box, and I see the ring. It is the pearl he gave me during the Quell. "And Katniss, if you say no to this proposal, I do not know what I am going to do with myself."
“You should already know the answer.” I say with a smile.
“So that’s a yes?” He says as he places the ring on my finger. I shake my head and I am able to get out ,“I love you, always.”
“That reminds me, look at the pearl.” Peeta says. The pearl has always engraved into it. Haymitch was right, I could live a hundred life times and never desreve Peeta.
“Oh, Peeta.” I say astounded, “I love it, I love you, and I loved every word you said. That was truly beautiful!”
“Only the most beautiful for my girl on fire.” Peeta says kissing me.
