Right by My Side ( PeetaxCato)

Chapter 15-Beat the Odds

Cato

I came home and closed the door. Only this wasnt home. Not the home of luxury and comfort I had with my beautiful sister...this was the new home I had with Peeta. The home that was full of love and happiness.
  I decided to open the bakery doors and dust the floors. They were covered in dust and the broken tiles looked like a Palestinian house that got bombed. The bakery needed some new tiles, some new furniture, some new everything!
  Peeta was still asleep when I came home and he was stirring in his slumber. I smiled as I looked at him. I loved him beyond words. I knew that he needed me....and you have to start small sometimes. Which is why I grabbed the broom and went back downstairs.
  I swept slowly because when you sweep fast it goes in the air not out the door...however the wind blew Clove in.
   "Hey dude." she said.
"Hey" I said as I swept.
"I need to talk to you." she said in an urgent tone.
  "Clove can it wait? I need to get some things done."
   She grabbed the broom and had it aimed at my dick.
  "I will send this up your man-gina and make u regret it if you dont stop what the fuck you're doing and listen to me.."
  I saw her face and I knew that she was serious.
   "Clove, what have you done?" I asked.
   "I haven't done anything. Johanna did. I helped."
  "What did you do?" I asked again.
   "Finnick is in the hospital....severe wounds to the head." Clove said as she sat down on the stool behind the counter.
  I looked up in shock....what had they done?
  "What the hell, Clove?" I shouted.
  "He snapped a picture of me and Johanna at her house from her bedroom window....."
   "Oh my God, the same thing he did to Katniss and my sister..."
   "Exactly. Honestly though, I'm surprised hes still alive. Johanna clocked him in the balls and I clocked him in the head." Clove said with that smirky grin that terrorised her enemies. Mainly because it was the last thing they ever saw.
  "Are you guys crazy? What if you go to jail?"
  "We won't...self-defense remember?" Clove smirked again.
  "Did he attack you?" I asked.
  "He tried to when Johanna broke his camera." Clove shot back.
I couldn't believe this. For one, Clove was experimenting. And two what was Finnick's obsession with lesbians? Hopefully he hadn't caught me and Peeta....
    Or had he?

Peeta

I woke up to Cato's voice down in the bakery. I had done a lot of thinking in between slumber and awakeness. I decided it wad time to beat my problems and deal with them...time for me to begin my life again.
   I decided that night I was going to make love to Cato Hadley and I was gonna beat the odds. He deserved my love and I deserved his...and I was so gonna get it...
   I noticed an envelope was lying on the floor. I thought it was a note from Cato or something so I opened it up....and pictures fell out. I looked more closely at them and I saw that they were me and Cato in our attempt to make love the night before...dog naked and in sexual prostrations.
I couldn't believe it! Who could do such a thing...
A little note fell out. It read in cursive...
