A/N before I start this chapter I would like to remind everyone of everything. Cato and Clove are engaged along with Finn and Annie. Foxface has found a man she loves named Chaff. Lastly, Katniss had breast cancer and no longer has breasts. Just thought I would remind you guys.
<Cato's POV>
Glim and Marvel left for their honeymoon right after the wedding so the rest of us are left to the duty of unpacking. It's boring work but at least it distracts me from my headache that accumulated from my hangover. Right now Clove and I are emptying our bags of clothes and putting them in the closet and the dressers. I watch her work hard, her brows furrowed in concentration. As if, if she doesn't put one thing in the right place the whole system will blow up.
She notices my gaze. "What are you staring at?" I continue to watch her.
"A beautiful, hardworking, loving person," I say with full on confidence. I know I don't have to hide my true feelings around Clove. I love her.
"Really?" She asks smiling as red blush crawls onto her pale cheeks.
"Ya I can see Peeta working in the yard right through our window, and he's hot!" I say jokingly. Clove tucks away her smile and instead throws a dress at my face. Even though her attempt was well aimed I still catch the dress before it hits my face. She motions for me to throw it back.
"Give it back!" She demands.
I smile at her worry of disorganization. "You'll just have to come and get it," I say, a smile creeping onto my face. Clove runs after me but I swiftly move to the side of the bed and sit down. "Now now now, you need to try harder than that." My words make her even more determined.
"Cato I swear I will rip your head off!" She yells in aspiration. Clove charges toward where I'm sitting on the bed. She grabs my arms that holds the dress, but is surprised when I pull her close to me and lean back.
Clove now lays on top of me the dress completely forgotten, not that I care. She leans in and kisses me softly. I drop the dress and rub her back as her hands travel around my neck.
I truly cannot wait to marry this girl. Our wedding is in two weeks but I don't even know if I can wait that long. Of course I'm nervous to have a family one day, but with clove by my side that goal is reachable.
Clove's dark brown waves fall around my face. She pulls away and we just stare into each others eyes. "Cato why do you love me? And for once in your life be serious," she asks. I don't know why she is asking. I thought it was clear why my heart throbs for her touch.
"Well my sweet, I love you not because of what is on the outside, no matter how cliche that sounds it's true. Of coarse you are unbearably beautiful and I swear when you walk outside the birds sing, but what is on the inside is even better. You truly are caring but not in a lovey dovey way. You are competitive but you don't let that distract you from who you love. Also when you touch my skin I feel like I could be the king of the the world, but I wouldn't want to do that unless you were my queen." When I finish speaking Clove has a single tear running down her face.
"Cato I can't wait to call you my husband." And with that we lock our lips once again completely forgetting about the rest of unpacking that needs to be finished.
