Chapter 10 - Lunch

Katniss's POV

I wake up with Peeta's arm around me protectively.  I'm snuggled in close to him. I turn over. His face is now close to mine.

His eyes flutter open. I smile. He is so cute in the morning. 'Why are you so beautiful?' He whispers. I blush. 'I'm not beautiful.' I whisper back. He looks taken aback for a moment. 'That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. You're beautiful and I don't know a single person who thinks otherwise.' He tells me seriously.  His voice is still soft, though.

 I just kiss him. I hate it when he says those things that aren't true. He starts to kiss me back, now awake. He puts a hand on my cheek. I run my hand through his hair.

We kiss passionately. I don't mind how long we kiss for, I love it, I love him. I don't want him to stop kissing me. He doesn't.

'HEY GUYS!!!' The door opens and there's Finnick. Peeta and I turn in shock. It's then that Finnick realises what we were doing. He smirks. Peeta's bare chest shows. I guess that doesn't matter, though.

'Well, well, am I interrupting anything here?' Finnick asks, grinning. Peeta grabs a pillow and chucks it at him. 'What are you doing here?' He asks, sitting back on the bedhead. Finnick, still with a grin on his face, walks over to the bed and sits on the edge near Peeta.

'Sorry, I wanted to go out for lunch.' He replies. It's then I realise that we slept in until 12:00. I can't believe it. 'Well, if you guys want a few minutes...' Finnick winks at us. I roll my eyes.

'Don't worry Finnick we only take hours.' Peeta grins. Finnick laughs. 'Fast learner?' He asks. Peeta nods. 'Obviously.' Peeta slaps Finnick's back. He gets up and leaves, closing the door behind him.

I just try take in what I've heard. I look at Peeta who is getting dressed. I really can't tell if he and Finnick were joking. I decide not to bring it up, anyway.

I get dressed. I am just about to brush my teeth when Peeta grabs my arm. I turn to face him, he pulls me close to him. He takes my face and kisses me. I wrap my arms around his neck as he pulls away.

'I love you.' He leans his forehead on my head. 'I love you too.' I say. His hand travel up to my hands that are wrapped around him. He takes them off him slowly and leans down. He kisses my hands. I laugh.

'Go brush your damn teeth, girl.' He grins. I punch his arm before going.

Peeta's POV

Katniss punches my arm before going to brush her teeth.

Soon she returns and takes my hand as we go to Finnick's car. He is in there with Annie, kissing. I roll my eyes. He doesn't even see us hop in. I tap his shoulder. Annie giggles. 'Goddamn, Peeta, can't you see we're busy?' Finnick sighs, pulling away.

'You can't talk, Finnick. You interrupted their lovin' before.' Annie directs to Katniss and I. I see Katniss blush. 'Don't worry about it.' I say flatly. Finnick laughs. He starts the car and we're off.

Katniss holds onto my hand tightly. 'Where are we going?' She asks, looking out the window. 'Nice little place called The Hob.' Annie smiles. I nod. 'Sounds lovely.' I say, looking at Katniss who smiles slightly.

'You two can finish your love show now if you'd like.' Finnick looks at us in the mirror, grinning. I kick his chair and I hear him choke. 'Thanks a lot, Peeta.' He spits out. Katniss laughs.

We finally arive at a small restaurant. There are mostly tables outside and some inside. Only a few people are there. Flowers go around the place and sun shines down. We get out and go order. I get bacon and eggs.

Katniss and Annie get beef sandwiches with other stuff. Finnick gets a plate of sugarcubes and some steak.

The food is delicous. We eat it outside. The whole feel of the place is nice. It's peaceful.

I stroke a loose hair behind Katniss's ear and she leans in and kisses me. It is such a perfect day, no worries go through me. I feel her hand take mine as we kiss. I feel Finnick and Annie watching us. I pull back.

I look at Finnick grinning and Annie smiling sweetly. 'You two are so cute.' She says, putting a hand on Finnick's shoulder. Katniss smiles. 'Thank you, Annie.' She replies. 'Yeah, very cute, very spicy.' Finnick winks at me. I grin.

Oh, Finnick, what a character. 'Thank you, Finnick.' I say. He laughs. Katniss looks at me with confusion. I turn and smile at her. 'What?' I ask. 'Uh. Nothing.' She replies quickly, turning her attention to Annie.

They start talking and go on for a while. Finnick and I practise throwing sugarcubes into each others mouths across the table. He tries to go for one and falls back on his chair. We all burst into laughter.

He lifts up an arm. 'A little help here?!' He shouts, but you can hear him laughing, too. Annie helps him up and that's the end of lunch. We all pile into the car. As we start driving I start thinking about my other friends.

Maybe I should invite them over.
