Catching Fire: You and Me

Chapter 13:

"So thats who you are sweetheart!" Haymitch says coming through the door.

"Haymitch! were you listening through the door!" Peeta says, clearly annoyed.

"sure was!" he says laughing and taking a swig from his beer bottle.

"i swear! you tell anyone and i will kill you!!!" i scream.

"oh no!" he says sarcastically. "is the little French princess gonna kill me?" he laughs.

"Hell yeah i am!" i shout and lunge forward at him.

but of course Peeta holds me back.

"you know it is very bad manners to eavesdrop!" Effie says walking into view. "so whats going on here?" she asks, completley cluless.

"Katniss is the-" Haymitch is cut off by Peeta punching him square in the face. "Boy! what do you think your doing!" he asks glaring at Peeta.

"enough people already know, just keep it that way okay? unless you want Snow to kill you!...and me!" i warn.

"whatever Pr-" Haymitch is again cut off, this time by me.

"REALLY!" i growl.

"would someone please inform me of what is happening?" Effie shrieks.

"NO!" me and Peeta shout in unison.

"okay. Bye Princess!" Haymitch blurts out and runs away, just avoiding my ruthless attack.

"Katniss!" Effie says, practically jumping up and down, smiling wildly. "thats wonderfu-" i pull Peeta out of range and slam the door in my escorts face, rudley.

as the tears start to flow out, i step in front of the wall mirror. i feel two strong arms wrap around my waist and a pair of lips on my neck.

he picks me up and wraps my legs around him, kissing me on the lips. he seems despersate and i understand.

"i love you, Kat." he says and starts kissing me harder.

"i love you too. are you okay?" i ask.

"i'm fine!" he says and smiles.

"alright. just making sure!" i say and kiss him back.

"Katniss! Peeta! come on! we have to go watch the reapings!" Effie calls through the door, waking us both up from a wonderful deep sleep.

i groan, not wanting to get up when suddenly Peeta kisses my cheek gently.

we eventually make it down to the tv car and im still half asleep so i end up laying on top of Peeta on one of the couches.

i hide my face in Peeta, hearing the gasps from the crowd.

"now what is the deal with that?" one of the commentators asks after i get called.

"i have no idea. it seems there is something about the Girl on Fire that we don't know!" Cesar adds.

"shutup!" i shout at the television even though i know they cant hear me. "putain ils ne peuvent pas parler de moi comme ça devant tout le pays!" i start mummbling.

"Kat? what are you saying?" Peeta asks a little confused.

"sorry... just a habit..." i say playing with a strand of my hair. "désolé." i say. "er- sorry..."

"its okay." Peeta says laughing and kissing the top of my head.

"je t'aime, magnifique!" i whisper to him and wink.

he looks completley confused by my remark so i tell him "it means 'i love you, gorgeous' cant you take a compliment in french?" i ask laughing.

"maybe if i could understand it!" he jokes. "but thank you, i love you too!" he says.

we excuse ourselves and go back to my room and just flop onto the bed.

Haymitch tells us that we will be in the Capitol in an hour.

"here we go again..." Peeta says.
