An Undying Love

Chapter 3

❣ "I have a surprise for you, Katniss", Peeta tells me, smiling. "What is it?", I ask anxiously. Peeta takes out two tickets."I was thinking maybe we could go to Disctrict 4 to celebrate our 1 year anniversary", Peeta tells me, "and maybe visit Annie and her son". "That will be amazing", I tell him. But my smile fades away instantly. Annie. I wonder how she has managed to take care of her son, Finn, without Finnick. Finnick. The thought makes wanna throw up. HowI left him behind, during the war. I could have save him, but Gale wouldn't let me go. How I miss Finnick and his sugarcubes. I slight smile scapes from my face, as well as a small tear. "What's wrong?", Peeta asks me. "I can hardly wait", I tell him with a smile. I wake up wrapped in Peeta's arms. Peeta is still sleeping, so I just kiss his cheek and stand up quietly. "Good morning, Katniss", Peeta whispers. "Good morning, Peeta", I tell him. I take shower, and go downstairs to prepare breakfast. We eat, and then we go upstairs. A few weeks ago, Peeta and I decided to go to District 4 for our one year anniversary. We think that the beach will be a romantic place to celebrate our anniversary. Peeta and I are visiting Annie for a few days, too. I call Annie and tell her that next week we are going to visit her. Today, Peeta and I decide to go to the park and have a picnic. We go upstairs and get ready. I put on a red dress and braid my hair, and Peeta puts a normal shirt and pants. We go downstairs and Peeta gets a basket and a blanket, and I get our snacks. While I get my jacket, something catches my eye. From the corner of my eye, I see Peeta hidding a small box in the basket, and stares at it smiling. He has something special for me. I take the basket, and we go outside. I kiss Peeta's cheek, and he takes my hand. We both smile and start walking to the park. When we arive, we pick a spot to put our blanket, and sit down. I let go of Peeta's hand, and put down the basket. We talk for a while, and eat some snacks. Peeta takes out a his cell phone and plays some music. We lay down and stare at the clouds. We listen to the beautiful music, as the soft wind blows the leaves. I close my eyes and relax. I smile a little, enjoying this peaceful moment. No war, no starvation, no fear, no preocupation. Just love and peace. I slowly move my hand, and wrap it around Peeta's. He lifts both of our hands and kisses mine, then he puts them back down. I open my eyes and look at him, as he looks back at me. We both smile, and sit up. I cuddle right next to Peeta, and he puts his arm around me, without letting go of my hand. I rest my head in his neck, and close my eyes. I smile a little, and I can feel Peeta smiling as well. We stay like this for a while, as the music continues playing. I open my eyes, and slowly look at Peeta. We looks down at me, and we make eye contact. He slowly pulls me closer, as I let go of his hand, and put my hands around his neck. We slowly close our eyes, and smile. We slowly put our lips together and Peeta puts his hands in my hip. We kiss each other slowly, but passionately. I feel sparks fly inside me. The music plays louder, until I can't hear anything else but it, as if it was just the two of us. The wind blows stronger, and I feel the fall leaves move around us. We slowly pull away from each other, and open our eyes. We go to our old position. Me resting my head in his neck, and him putting his arm around me wih our hands locked. We both smile, and continue enjoying each other's comany. Peeta suddlenly pulls away, and starts looking for something. His face lights up, and he pulls the small box, smiling widely. ❣
