Chapter 11:
I wake up and Peeta's still sleeping. He's usually up before me, but his pain meds make him really drowsy. I give him a light kiss on the cheek and get up and shower. When I'm out he is still asleep. I look at the clock and it says 8:27. I get ready and go in the kitchen to cook breakfast. Since Peeta is the one that always does the cooking, it'll be a little different around here for a week. I make oatmeal with fruit in it and put it on a tray with orange juice and bring it into the room with him.
"Peeettaaaa." I say in a sing-song voice. "Waake uuppp."
I put the tray on the table and sit down next to him. I brush his hair over to the side and whisper things to try to wake him. He finally opens his eyes to reveal those beautiful blue orbs.
"Good morning," I say still playing with his hair.
"Morning beautiful." He replies smiling.
"How are you feeling?" I ask.
"Um I'm okay I guess. My stitches don't hurt as much, I just feel uncomfortable." He says.
"Well if there's anything you need just ask okay?" I say.
"Okay." He says.
"I made you breakfast." I say handing him the tray.
"Thank you." He says giving me the most genuine smile I've ever seen.
"What do you want to do today?" I ask him.
"We can watch movies." He suggests.
"That sounds amazing, movies all day." I say smiling. "It's perfect!"
I'm really hungry so I go and make myself some breakfast. I have a bola if oatmeal and some toast. I'm still kinda hungry so I also have some toaster waffles. This whole situation with Peeta must be stressing me out because I never eat this much. When I'm done, I walk in and see Peeta staring at the wall.
"What are you thinking about?" I ask him.
"Just life I guess." He says.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"I mean our whole journey and how we ended up here, engaged living in a much more peaceful world I could have ever imagined. I never ever pictured my life like this. It's a good thing, dint get me wrong, it's just so unbelievable how lucky we are to still he alive." He says.
"Yeah I know what you mean. I never thought I would ever marry anyone." I say.
"Well what made you change your mind?" He asks.
"Falling for you." I say kinda shyly.
"I love you Katniss." He says.
"I love you too." I reply.
