Peeta POV
She answers my question with a kiss. After we pull away, I whisper,"I'm guessing that's a yes?"
"Yes," she nods. I smile and carry her back upstairs.
"You need some sleep," I kiss her forehead.
"Okay," she murmurs. By the time we get to Katniss's bedroom, she's already half asleep. I carefully lay her on the bed and pull the blanket around her.
I start to turn around to get into my sleeping bag, but something touches my hand. Turning around, I see Katniss grabbing at my hand.
"Peeta, will you stay with me?" She asks.
"Always," I kiss her forehead and plop down next to her. We soon fall asleep in a warm embrace.

"Look at them!" Glimmer gushes.
"So cute!" Annie squeals.
I open my eyes to see Glimmer and Annie hovering over the bed where Katniss and I are laying.
"What happened last night, hmm?" Glimmer giggles.
"Nothing," I reply while scooting closer to Katniss and pulling the blankets over my head.
After they leave to have breakfast downstairs with the others, I lay there admiring her. Her pink lips are slightly parted and her hair covers part of her forehead. She looks peaceful.
Suddenly she says, "It's very impolite to stare."
I start to chuckle. "Sorry, Kat."
"Let's get some food," she grabs my hand to take me downstairs.
"Hey, guys." I rub my eyes while sitting with the group. I get two plates and hand one to Katniss.
"Thanks," she says while we load our plates with pancakes with syrup and bacon.
"What do you guys wanna do today?" Cato asks with a mouthful of food.
"Shopping!" Glimmer claps.
"Ugh," Finnick and Marvel groan.
"Please," Annie looks to Finnick.
"Fine. We'll just watch a movie or be in the arcade, right guys?" Finnick asks.
"Okay," I shrug. "What about you Katniss?"
"I'll just stay with the guys. I don't like shopping anyway," she shakes her head.
"Katniss, can you please come shopping with us for a little while?" Clove asks.
"Fine," she smirks. "Just for a little while."
After everyone finishes breakfast and gets ready, we take Katniss's and Marvel's cars to the mall.
"We'll meet back here in 3 hours?" Finnick asks.
"Sounds good. See ya!" The girls run off to go shopping.
"What do you guys wanna do?" I look around the mall.
"Arcade?" Cato points to the game room.
"Let's go," Finnick says while getting a bunch of change out, then we start playing video games.

Katniss POV
"Oh my god, are you guys dating?" Clove squeals after I tell them what happened. I sip my Starbucks frappicino. "Not yet, but hopefully soon. I mean, he likes me and I like him, so..."
After we slurp the last of our drinks, we go into American Eagle, Victoria's Secret, and Sephora.
Lugging bags of clothes back to the food court, we see the guys eating McDonalds at a nearby table.
"Hey," I sit down next to Peeta.
"Hey," he smiles.
"What did you guys do?" Annie rests her elbows on the table.
"Just played video games and had McDonalds," Cato gestures to his food.
"Well, I gotta get to dance practice soon, so we should go if Marvel's gonna drive some of you home," Glimmer says while slinging her purse over her shoulder.
"Yeah, let's go," Finnick says while the guys throw away their trash.
Peeta and I are walking in front if the group. I can tell they left us alone on purpose. Ugh, I hate them sometimes.
"So..."
"So...."
"Where are we?" I hold his hand once we get to my car. We are alone because everyone went in Marvel's car this time.
"I was hoping for something more," Peeta says. He kisses my nose and smiles. "Me too," I exhale.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asks.
"Yes," I hug him. We share a kiss and I drop Peeta off at his house. I still feel a little tingle in my lips.
