Katniss POV

"I'm just saying, consider it." Even though my back is to Peeta while walking off the plane carrying my hand luggage the smile as he says this is evident.

A burst of laughter comes out of my mouth. "You want me to consider, ever letting you have control of my decisions. No, no way."

"It may even be.. fun." He runs forward to catch up with me and ticked my stomach as he says this, I roll my eyes.

That conversation dies down as we start to walk through the heavy crowds of the but New York airport. I feel Peeta grab my free hand after we collect our suitcases, that electricity that surfaces on my skin whenever he touches me will never die down.

It doesn't take long to get the the hotel, we enter and are greeted with a large enterance hall with statues and fountains outside the front. I turn briskly to Peeta and frown.

"Peeta, this must have cost a fortune, i told you we should have refunded it. This is too much its..." I only realise i am rabling on when his lips close on mine to shut me up. He pulls away unwillingly and his eyes meet mine giving me a serious look. I don't say another word.

The rain outside batters against the windows like a hurricane, making a low drumming sound surrounding the room.

We get the key to our room and start to climb the staircase the awaits in our view. After reaching the top, Peeta smoothly slides the card through the slot and it flashes green indicating it is open. I grab the door handle and push it open eagerly, bracing myself to what could be waiting inside.

What i am granted with takes my breath away.

The luxury is filled with matt white walls and white leather sofas to match it all. A large flat screen TV in all rooms and the king sized bed is draped with white satin sheets.

The whole place can only be described as luxury.

While in the middle of taking it all in, tears spring in my eyes. He did all this for me.

I come to my senses and feel his hand touch my back tenderly, softly, lovingly. I turn slowly.

"Peeta, what is this..? It's gorgeous, why?" I ask, speechless.

He moves closer and puts his arms around my waist, holding me closer. A simple and genuine smile answers my question. It shows i am the first girl he has done this for, and possibly the last.

However all these gestures seem to be putting an unshiftable lump in my throat, like this isn't meant to happen. But why? Oh right. Because i am not real and won't be here forever.

Aside all of this i embrace his hug and whisper in his ear, "Thank you." A smile plastered on my face.

"No problem, gorgeous." He replies only leaving me with a larger smirk.

He runs in front of me and launches himself onto the large double bed. I giggle and join him.

"So, i have just realised that we haven't gone on an official date yet." He runs through my mind.

"Maybe we could go out to the park this afternoon, to properly talk. You know have proper time together?" He asks smiling.

"Sure, sounds perfect gorgeous." I reply, mocking his phrase causing him to laugh slightly.

Later that day after having unpacked all we could into the large and beautifully styled dressers we do decide to go on that mini-date and relax.

We walk through Central Park, autumn leaves falling onto our fluffy coats and around our boots. Both of us sip a warming drink. Tea for me, coffee for Peeta.

My gaze catches onto the trees above us that are lined with perfectly shaped golden and orange leaves. And a thought comes to my mind, a thought about how much i am in love with this world. With human emotions, with the nature, with everything.

At that point is when Peeta's fingers lock with mine and this moment just get's one hundred times better, a warming circle shields my heart from the other thoughts that are trying to reach my brain and trouble me, warning me what will come very soon.
