How Will This Work Out? (a HG fanfic)

Chapter 12

The carriage driver continued getting us to our honeymoon destination.

"Where are we going?" I asked Peeta, looking at his adorable blue eyes, which seemed a tad bit darker in the carriage.

"It's a surprise. Somewhere we've never been before, at least not personally." he replied, holding my hands in his, which made my hands warmer. It was kinda chilly in the carriage, even though our windows were shut all the way.

About an hour or so later, we arrived in District 7 of Panem, the district of lumber. The familiar smell of wood shavings and pine needles filled the atmosphere. I inhaled such a wonderous combination of all the unique scents, making my mouth water. There were pastries baking, pine needles, gunpowder, wood shavings, grass, and a variety of flowers within my sniffing. Mmmm....how fresh!

"Wow, Peeta," I started. "It's beautiful here. How'd you get the money to get us here?"

"The tributes' winnings. I still had a few hundred thousand left, but I didn't really use any of it in the get-go." he responded, helping me out of the cramped carriage. The driver parked the carriage real quick, coming back to lead us to our honeymoon stay.

The driver led us to a sectioned-off area of District 7. A sign hung over the area entrance, reading "Honeymoon Heights, District 7". Wow.....how creative they got with the name.

"Aw, babe. It's wonderful!" I whispered, kissing Peeta's cheek. "I can't wait!!!"

"Well, we have a whole good 8-10 days here. You think that'lll be enough fun for us, Katniss?" Peeta laughed.

"Aw, can't we have longer? 2 weeks? That would be perfect!!!" I begged, wanting more alone time for us. After all, this would be some of the most alone time we'd ever get together.

"Okay, fine. 2 weeks, none more." Peeta gave in, smiling at me. "I like that, too. 2 weeks is definitely enough time for both of us, Katniss." He told the carriage driver the 2-week plan, telling him to retrieve us on the 15th day (2-weeks last 14 days).

The driver handed us all of our luggage, maps, et cetera needs. "Enjoy your stay, newlyweds." the driver guffawed, a scratchy voice bearin gfrom his throat. Moments later, we were standing, just the two of us, in an unknown district.

Turning to me, Peeta said, "Let the fun begin."
