~Two Years Later~

I sigh sitting in my office looking at the ring in the box, I need to do this, I have to do this, I want her to be my wife I want us to have children. I never knew wanting to propose was such a nerve racking thing... Because I'm definitely nervous, what if she says no? What if I get too scared to propose? Listen to yourself Peeta... You sound like an idiot, I'm sure she will say yes, I hope she does because I'd love nothing much to call her Mrs Mellark and call her my wife in the mornings and when I come home from work.

"Dude just do it. Stop being such a wimp"

"Rye. This is a whole lot nerve racking than it seems"

"Peeta. I know. I'm married. With kids. Now man up, do something nice and propose, we're all waiting for a wedding invite"

"Yeah. I'm thinking of asking tonight. What do you think?"

"Do whatever you think is right. She's going to say yes Peeta trust me."

"Okay. I have to go need to close the bakery"

"Okay lil brother. Make sure there's a ring on her finger" and he hangs up, I roll my eyes putting my phone in my pocket and turning the Open to Closed and I walk to my car and make my way back to my beautiful girlfriend.

"So what you wanna do first?" I ask as we walk to the beach carnival hand in hand

"Let's play the small games first. Than we can do the bigger ones last" she states

"Great idea" so that's what we do, we play all the small games and won what we could which wasn't much, I was able to win a small teddy for Katniss which she liked, we do all sorts of the games, bumper cars, roller coasters, Farris wheel and other rides there, it's honestly been such a great night so far.

Katniss and I get a spot on the beach where no one is and we set up our towels on the sand and we sit there for a while and the fireworks start going off and I take this as my chance and I stand us up, she looks confused till I get on my knee and she gasps covering her mouth

"Katniss, we've been together for four years and eight months. In that time we were able to share our love and fights. Katniss... Since I saw you that night at the bar wearing that red dress, lipstick, shoes, you looked like an angel sent from heaven. I thought we'd never meet again but when you turned up at my aunt and uncles house, I knew that meant a second chance and after you admitted at you wanting to actually be with me I knew you were the one.

Katniss you're the love of my life and I'd do anything to save your life and do anything to make you happy and so" I grab the box and she's crying now

"Katniss Cecelia Everdeen. Will you do me the greatest honour and marry me?" I open the box and she laughs through her tears

"Yes. Of course I'll marry you" she replies and I smile smiling taking the ring out and chucking the box on the floor and I slide the ring on her finger and we kiss and I pull her closer making it deeper and we brake away just as the fireworks finish and I peck her lips once more.

I kick our bedroom door closed as I carry Katniss, she jumps down dragging me and making me lean against the head board and straddles me and we continue to kiss as she grips my face deepening our kiss, my god I love these nights. We brake briefly to get rid of our shirts, I touch her breasts and she moans braking our kiss and I move to kiss and suck her neck as she grips the hair at the back of my head which drives me insane

"Mmm Peeta" she moans as I kiss her neck and massage her breasts, her hands slowly move down my chest, over my stomach to where my jeans are and she undoes the button and slowly zips my zipper and they are taken off in a flash and I flip us over, I kiss over her jaw, down to her neck, over her shoulder blade, over her chest, between her breasts, down her stomach and stop at her shorts, I undo the button and and throw them somewhere in the room, dear god, matching green lace bra and panties, I come back up kissing her and moving my hands behind her unclapsing her bra and the straps fall down her shoulders and I throw them over my shoulder and I kiss and suck on her left breast and then to her right

"Oh Peeta" she sighs, that's music to my ears... The rest of the night is me and Katniss making love to each other.

I wake up feeling Katniss's bare body against mine and I smile kissing her neck and the small butterfly tattoo on the back of her shoulder, how'd I get so lucky? Seriously, Katniss is the most amazing person in the world and I'm marrying her... There is literally no one else I'd want to marry than her, she's the person I see my self with in twenty years time and the person I see myself having kids with. She's my everything.
