"It was you!" I say, as I push Beetee into the wall.

"It was you all along!" I scream.

Beetee makes a pushing down motion with his hands. "Calm down, Katniss," he says.

Peeta puts his gentle hands on my shoulder. "Katniss," he whispered. "It's okay."

I turn and look into his eyes.

He's right.

"Okay." I sigh.

I look at Beetee. His eyes are filled with shock, fear, and confusion. "I'm sorry, Beetee." I say.

He brushes off his blazer, even though there's nothing to brush off.

He nods and swiftly goes around me, and rejoins a concerned looking Clarisse.

My teeth are gritted as I mumble, "Let's go back to the hotel, Peeta." He nods, clearly wanting out if the over-the-top Capitol party.

When we get back, I pull my hair out and ruffle it.

I let out a deep sigh.

"Peeta?" I ask turning. I see Peeta standing there, his blue eyes on me with a warm smile on his face. "What?" I ask, blushing. "Nothing," Peeta says. "I was just admiring how beautiful you look in that dress." I smile and hug him, wrapping my arms around his neck. His hands slide over my waist, then settle on my lower back. "You love me, real or not real?" He asks.

I smile into his dress shirt. "Real," I say quietly.

I turn and kiss him.

His blue eyes flutter closed and I close my gray ones.

His lips are always so soft, so beautiful.

It's hard not to kiss him every second of everyday.

Gosh, I'm being so lovesick! I scold myself.

Peeta breaks into my thoughts as his arms tighten around my waist, then he hoists me up. My legs wrap around him. He walks over to the fluffy hotel bed, then he settles me on it.

"I love you, Peeta," I say, gazing up into his pretty eyes that are inches from mine.

"I love you too, Katniss," he says, then leans down to kiss me.
