"Katniss!" Peeta exclaim, as he attacks me in a hug. Tear stains cover his face, and I see he's in his work clothes. I breath in his scent, he smells fresh bread from the bakery. He holds me tight, like I could vanish any second.
"Never. Do. That. Again." He says sternly while staring deep in his eyes. Slowly everything is gone, everything in the whole world is blocked out. For a moment the only thing in the world is me and Peeta. No voices, no criticizing. We start to lean in to the point where our lips touch, I wrap my arms around his neck as I slide myself on his lap. He secures me with wrapping his arms around my waist. He whispers against my lips,
"You're such a tease." Then he crashes his lips against mine. That's when realization hits me. Peeta Mellark loves me. He loved me the whole time! The person I dearly loves, loves me back! This information causes to smile into the kiss, seconds after Peeta does as well. He licks my bottom lip for entrance, I open my mouth with no hesitation. You know how in a lot of books, they fight for dominance. But we simply just dance, exploring each other's mouths. Minutes later we pull away, but only to catch our breaths. A blush creeps to Peeta's face, aww he's just the cutest.
"I'm just gonna go to the cafeteria to get something for you to eat Katniss, you must be starving!" He says as leaving the bed, I now realize that I actually am! I nod, I probably haven't eaten a real meal since forever, what depression does to you. I will not be depressed, I will move on but never forget. That's what Prim and dad would want. Just as Peeta was about to leave,
"Peeta?" I ask
"Yeah?" He replies
I then decide to say the four words I've been longing to say,
"I love you too," I smile
