Finding the Missing Piece: Book 3

Chapter Fourteen

Katniss POV- (A week later)

"Peeta, can we have everyone come over sometime? I want everyone to meet Bristol and Carter. Maybe use it as a 'Thank you' to the guys for helping?" I suggest to Peeta one evening.

Peeta looks up from his cooking, "Uh, sure. That sounds fun. When were you thinking?" He asks.

I shrug, "I don't know. Whenever we can all get together, I guess."

Peeta smiles, "Okay. Sure, that sounds fun."

I smile back at him.

"How about this Saturday?" I ask.

"Okay, that is fine with me. Better get calling then." He says laughing.

"I will do that now." I say, walking out of the kitchen.

I grab my phone from the couch and dial Finnick's number first.

(On the phone with Finnick)

"Kat!" Finnick squeals.

"Hey, Finn. I was calling to see if you would like to come down to our house this weekend for a get together with everyone?" I ask politely.

"Sure, we would love to! What day and what time?" He asks.

"Uh, Saturday and maybe 6ish?" I say, not sure myself.

"Okay, that sounds good. I'll see you soon."

"Great. Hey, how's Annie and the baby?"

"They're great! How is Bristol and the baby?"

"They're great too." I laugh.

"Perfect. I'll talk to you later, Kitty Kat." Finnick says.

"Bye." I scoff.

I repeat the call with Gale, Madge, Thresh, Johanna, Cato, Clove, Glimmer, Marvel, and lastly Bristol.

They all agree.

I walk back in the kitchen as I see Peeta is just finishing dinner.

"Hey, did you get everyone called?" Peeta asks as he starts spooning food onto plates, a little distracted and struggling with the plates, pans, and spoon.

I laugh at his multitasking skills, "I did. They are all coming on Saturday."

Peeta smiles happily, putting down all utensils.

"Awesome. What shall we have for dinner that night?" He asks, leaning against the island.

I shrug my shoulders, "I don't know. Whatever we wanna make will work. Think of something." I tell him.

Peeta just laughs and rolls his eyes, "How about I make us some cheese buns and lamb stew?" He suggest.

My eyes involuntarily widen, "Yes." I say.

He smirks and let's out a laugh, "I figured that would be a 'yes.'" Peeta says.

"Lamb stew and cheese buns are always a 'yes' in my book."

It is true though.

Both are my favorite.

"You're so cute, Katniss." Peeta smiles admiringly at me.

I blush a little, not noticeably.

"Thank you. So are you." I say with a real sugar sweet smile.

Peeta laughs, "No, I'm not." He says.

I smile, "You are. You're Peeta Mellark. You are adorable. Perfect." I state to him.

"Whatever, you are perfect." He says, getting closer by each word.
