Love Story (Everlark Fanfiction)

Shattering News

***Katniss POV***

I slowly open my eyes. It's pretty dark, but the dim sunlight lets me identify the blue walls of Finnick's living room. I slowly and lazily turn my head to the left, I am now facing a sleeping Peeta. I stare at him for a while, with a small smile painted in my face. He looks calm and peaceful, with some of his ashy blonde curls resting on his closed eyes. His chest rises and falls slowly and small snores escape from his lips. I wish every morning was like this. I wish that the first person I see every morning was my sweet Peeta. I wish to be able to fall asleep with his strong arms around me and sometimes to wake up to the smell of pancakes. I wish that when I walk downstairs, I find him in the kitchen, facing the stove so I can surprise him by wrapping my arms around him. I wish all that, but in reality I know that if things don't change, that will never happen. I know that if things don't change, I will never be happy. I shake my head to clear my thoughts and decide to get out of my sleeping bag.

I slowly and quietly stand up and stretch. I notice that everyone is still sound asleep. I don't blame them, after all we went to sleep at 3:30am. I look at the clock and it reads 9:55am. My eyes widen and I take my backpack and run upstairs. I have only two and a half hours before having to go to the airport and welcome my parents, and I still have to shower, get dress, eat, get home to Prim, and get there! I lock the door of the same bathroom I used yesterday, and let the warm water run as I take my pyjamas off. I swiftly get into the shower and shampoo my hair. I have to organize my schedule. I can take a shower for 20 minutes, dress and apply makeup in 40, eat in 20, and I have thirty minutes to get home and let Plutarch drive Prim and me to the airport, which is thirty minutes away from my house. I actually live near Finnick but with Ed Sheeran here, the drives are multiply by 3. See what I did there? I actually have to stop having inside jokes with myself. I finish my shower and get dressed on the outfit Cinna chose. It is a white sundress with gold bracelets and a white headband. I smile as I take the small box I packed. It contains the gold necklace with the five pendants Peeta gave me two days ago. I decide for the K pendant since the P one will make my parents curious, but I will definitely wear that one on Monday. 

I head downstairs once I am ready and see that the living room is empty, so I walk towards the dining room. I know that the first thing Finnick thinks about when he wakes up is food. I open the dining room's door and get in. There's a buffet served and everyone but Peeta is here. There's pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, fruit salad, yogourt, French toasts, milkshakes, muffins, coffee, tea, and fruit juices. My stomach growls and I notice how hungry I actually am. "Good morning guys! Where's Peeta?" I say as I move towards the table the buffet is set. "Good morning Kitty Kat! Lover Boy is taking a shower." Cato says. "Really? You will start calling me that too!" I say annoyed. "Yep, is funny to annoy you." Cato says as everyone laughs. I scowl thanks to him and serve myself fruit salad, yogurt, and two pancakes. "Calm down sis! You'll get wrinkles." Fiinnick says. "You're right. I don't want to end up like you, older bro!" I say mockingly while smirking. "Kitty got claws!" Johanna says and we all laugh.

As I continue filling my plate with food, I feel two strong arms wrap around me. I'm not even startled, this arms irradiate warmth and actually make me feel safe. "Good morning, Beautiful." Peeta whispers in my ear. His warm and minty breath hits my neck, sending shivers down my spine. Peeta gives my neck a light and sweet kiss. A tingly sensation is left in the spot his lips touched. I close my eyes to appreciate the feeling better and smile. I snuggle deeper into his embrace, and move my head up a little to kiss cheek. "Good morning, Handsome." I whisper back. He smiles and kisses me. A combination of fireworks, butterflies, happiness, love, passion and warmth encases me. I want this moment to last forever. "I love you, Peeta." I say after breaking the kiss. "I love you more. I love you more than what you could imagine or words could describe. I can't understand how, but everyday my love for you, Katniss Everdeen, only grows." Peeta replies with a smile. That smile that melts my heart and never fails in making me reply with the same gesture. I am about to kiss him again when our annoying friends groan. "Can you stop acting so lovey dovey? You are annoyingly 'cute'." Marvel complains. "Stop complaining! I bet you wish for a relationship like theirs!" Annie says. Marvel groans but shuts up.
