Katniss

"Just call him" Jo encouraged me.

We were currently hanging out in my home on the couch eating take out like most Fridays.

"Jo..." I rolled my eyes.

I had recently confessed to her that I found Lionel attractive when we were drunk and she won't stop bugging me about it.

"Just go on one date, if it doesn't work out then it didn't work out" Jo told me grabbing my phone. She clicked something and before I knew it she handed it to me and I was already dialing Lionel.

"What if he says no?" I asked panicking slightly as I waited for him to pick up.

"He won't" she reassured me.

"Hello" Lionel said when he picked up.

"Hey Lionel, it's Katniss" I said and Jo rolled her eyes. I threw her a pillow and stood up, walking away from her.

"Oh hey Katniss, how are you?" He said and I could hear the smile in his voice.

"I'm well and yourself?" I asked back, smiling.

"Wonderful" he said, "I wasn't expecting your call— not that I'm disappointed just surprised"

I laughed because he did in fact sound very surprised, "So you won't be disappointed if I ask you out to dinner?"

That one took him even more by surprise, "I wouldn't"

"Okay then, Lionel would you like to have dinner with me sometime?"

"Like a date or like as frien—"

"Like a date, if you're not seeing anyone of course" I bit my lip, it's been a while since I've asked anyone out.

"Well were in luck, I'm currently single and I'd love to go on a date with you" he said and I laughed.

"Wonderful"

"I'll pick you up at 7 tomorrow if that's alright?" He asked.

"Yes that's perfect" I smiled, "I'm guessing you already know my address since you sent me flowers"

"Oh yes," he laughed, "I'll see you tomorrow, Katniss"

"Of course, ba bye" I said and hung up.

I went back into the living room, "Oh god what have I done?"

"You just asked out a really hot guy and he said yes" Jo cheered, "Oh you're going to have so much fun!"

The next day I was at the studio with Peeta. Thing had been going pretty well since our fling, which was three weeks ago. Today we coming up with the title for the album.

We have 10 songs written, and it think we've decided we are keeping them all and releasing it as a collaboration album.

"So what do you think we should name it?" Peeta asked me, kind of frustrated, he has been shooting ideas at me for two hours but I've found something wrong with all of them.

"Ugh.. let me look at the lyrics" he handed me final pages where the songs were written.

Instead of reading the entire lyrics, I read the description of the songs that I had written in the bottom.

The more I read the descriptions I had a pretty big realization, each song represented a stage in our relationship and I hadn't noticed.

I rearranged them in a way that made sense.
