Life of the Mockingjays (Sequel to Panem High)

Proposal

Katniss P.O.V

He pulls away after a while and just holds me in his arms. I lay my head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat. He wraps his arms around me and I smile. We both climb into bed and I cuddle into him. He plays with my hair and whispers in my ear making me sleepy. "Night baby, love you" he whispers and I smile. "Love you too" I mumble before falling asleep.

I wake up feeling warm and safe and that's how I truly know Peeta's home. I smile and cuddle further into him making him stir. I look up at him and his eyes flicker open and he smiles when he sees me. I kiss him softly and he strokes his thumb across my cheek. I smile and pull away, hugging him. "I love you" I say smiling. "I love you too" he says smiling. "KATNISS!" Someone screams coming through the door. "What?" I ask worriedly and sit up. "Hide me" Alex squeaks out and I raise an eyebrow. She runs up to the bed and hides under it. I laugh slightly and peer over. "What did you do?" I ask smirking. "ALEX!" I hear three angry boys shout and barge into my room. "Hey guys" I say sitting up. "Hey" they say standing next to each other. "Peeta look. It's the teletubbies" I say. "I like your hair" I say. "Ha ha" ashton says sarcastically. "I may or may not have spray painted their hair while they slept" Alex mumbles from beneath the bed. Ashton has orange hair, Silvano has blue and fury has red. Well that's ironic. I laugh slightly. "Alex!" Fury says trying to suppress a laugh. I smile and Alex comes out from under the bed. "Remember that I love each of you so much" she says laughing slightly. "Alex that better come out" I say. "It comes out in the shower" she says and I laugh. "There's towels in the cupboard outside the movie room" I say and they smile. "Don't worry , we will get you back" they say in unison and rush out the room. We all burst out laughing. "Where did you even get the spray?" I ask. "I have my ways" she says smirking and rushes out the room. I roll my eyes and turn around and kiss Peeta softly. "I'm going to get in a shower" I say and he shakes his head. He flips me over so I'm on my back and hovers over me. "You have to stay by my side for a full month" he says and I laugh. "Sorry but I need to shower" I say and he shakes his head and pouts. I smile and reach up and cup his face and he smiles. He leans down and brushes his lips against mine. He pulls away and smirks. "Don't tease" I say and he smiles. I put my hand behind his neck and pull him down, crashing my lips into his. sparks erupt through my body and I get lost in the kiss. We pull away for a breath but he attaches his lips back to mine. He pulls away after a while and I bite my lip. "You are beautiful" he whispers and I blush. "You are handsome" I say and he kisses my cheek. "But I really need to shower" I say and he smiles. "Fine" he says rolling over and laying on his back. I smile and head to the shower. I don't think I realised how much I missed him until now. I quickly wash my hair and body and step out. "Kat, can I come in for a sec?" Peeta asks. "Yeah" I say and he walks in. He has a red velvet box and I smile slightly. "I got you a present form New York" he says. "You didn't have to" I say. "Just open it" he says smiling. I take the box and open it. "Oh my gosh it's beautiful" I say and look at it. It's a chain with a small pearl at the end but the pearl is crystal white and beautiful. "Where did you get this?" I ask. "I don't remember" he says smirking. "Well thank you. I love it" I say smiling. "Here I'll put it on you" he says and I hand it to him and turn around. he pushes the hair away and clips the necklace at the back. I shiver as his fingers brush against my skin and he smirks. He pushes my hair back and I turn around and kiss the tip of his nose. I head out to the wardrobe and get changed. I put on a grey knit pencil skirt, a cream long sleeve t-shirt, a cardigan and put on some grey shoes. I do some natural makeup and curl my hair softly. I get washed and head back out. I spray some perfume on and Peeta hugs me from behind. I smile and lean against him. "Come on, let's go downstairs. Oh and my dad wants me and you and Connor and his girlfriend to go out for dinner. He's proposing tonight" he says and I smile. "That sounds nice" I say and he smiles. We walk downstairs and I bump into fury. "Sorry" he says shyly and I smile. "It's alright" I say smiling. "What do you guys want for breakfast?" I ask and he shrugs as Silvano walks out. "Hey" he says smiling. "I prefer you with dark hair" I say and he laughs. "Funny" he says. "Why don't we go to IHOP for breakfast?" I ask and they nod. "Okay meet us downstairs when you're ready" I say and smile at fury. "Okay" they say and walk into the room to get ready. Me and Peeta walk downstairs and I laugh slightly. "He's so shy" I say and Peeta nods. "I remember you used to be shy" he says and I laugh. "We'll soon bring him out of his shell" I say and he nods. We tell everyone where we are going and they are all coming.
