"Would any of you like cake? Anyone want to enjoy some homemade cake, with vanilla esence and oozing chocolate fudge filling and a little caramel icing on the top?" I ask, with emphasis.

Everyone answers loudly, "YES!" "Wow, looks like some people are eager to eat." I say in my mind.

"Looks like they like the presentation of it, let's hope the love the taste of it! It costed me a fortune!" Peeta whispers gently to my ear.

I giggle, "Whenever you talk romantically to me, it sounds like music to my eyes, a great melody and harmony,"

"Aaw, Katniss honey, I love you." he says, showing a heart shape with his fingers.

"I love you to, Peeta," I whisper, whilst I gently press on his lips. Then our tongues meet again...

Ooooh! The scent his mouth brings to mine is so pleasant, but this time, it smells of lemon cheesecake! An odd combination and not what I'd imagine normally but I love Peeta, not matter what.

Whilst I'm daydreaming, I can faintly hear my family and friends counting "32-33-33-35-36-37!" and so on. It is as if they're counting how long our kiss is lasting. But I don't care if its a record breaker or only twenty seconds, as long as it's with Peeta, I'm fine. I felt a sudden movement, like a force. I think Peeta wants to pull back, so I let go of him and release.

"That was an amazing kiss!" I whisper to him, romantically.

"It wouldn't be amazing without you," he says.

"Or you!" I giggle. Peeta laughs along as well.

"I love how we have same interests and know what is and isn't funny to us! That's what makes a real relationship, a real marriage, a real living love story," I explain and kiss his cheek softly.

"I love you," he says.

"I love you too, Peeta."

He laughs, "Not as much as me! Which reminds me, here, for you."

Peeta takes out a small, navy box, and inside are silky designer earrings, a bracelet with my name printed in gold and primroses around it, and a necklace with 'Peeta and Katniss Mellark' on it.

"Peeta, I love it!" I explain to him.

"That's not all," he says, handing me a box of chocolates.

"My favourite! You really know me so well. Thank you Peeta, how can I ever do something in return?" I say delightfully.

"Don't worry about that, Katniss. I love you, you know I do. I care about you, you don't need to get me something," says Peeta.

"But I have..." I wink. I turn around and give him a plasti bag, inside which consumes flowers and a bread box with his name on it.

"Katniss, you shouldn't have." Peeta chuckles. I smirk.

We kiss once more, while everyone is capturing this on camera...
