Icing on the Cake

Wide Awake~Katy Perry

Katniss

"Johanna, I know about the birds and the bees but I never had a boyfriend. Gale and Peeta are the only guys I've ever kissed. Peeta and I slept together before but, I slept under the covers he was on top. And we were both fully clothed. I've felt his arms around me and they always make me feel safe. But lately, I've been feeling tingly at every touch between us."

I called her for advice but I'm not sure I'm gonna like what she suggests.

"So you want more." She clarifies.

"I don't know. I just know I feel something but I don't know if Peeta does. This one time we were sitting on the couch. He looked sleepy but I was wide awake. He was sketching for the book. I was reading and my feet were cold so I pulled them up. It was so warm next to him. I thought he wouldn't mind if I put them under his thigh. But as I did they brushed his thigh." I explain.

"Okay, now we are getting somewhere." Jo says.

I scoff at her. "It was awful. I didn't think I put them that deep under. But I was trying to get where it's warmest. And he stood up so quick and ran to the bathroom."

"Hahahaha!" She is laughing annoyingly hard.

"Jo, it's not funny. I don't think he liked me touching him. He was in there for a long time."

"Hahaha, I bet. Hahahaha." She can barely talk.

"You're not helping." I fuss at her.

"Katniss, you came very close to, if not touched, his manhood and he had to handle it. Since you won't." Jo states.

"What? No I didn't touch his... Oh, you mean with my feet? But why would he have to handle... Eww! In my bathroom?" I say completely red in the face.

I never thought of Peeta handling himself. Definitely not needing to because of me.

"So you think he's sexually attracted to me?" I ask more confused. "He hasn't, even as much as, flirted with me all this time."

"Brainless. I mean, would you even know if he was? You have to make the first move, he's a gentleman he doesn't want to offend you or make you suicidal again. He's kind of a whimp." She quips.

No he isn't.

I'm overly offended but I still need help.

"So what do I do?" I snap.

"If I tell you these secrets you have to promise to commit. None of this shy little girl crap. You need to get your man." She scolds me.

"Okay, But-" I start.

"No buts unless they're butt naked." She cuts me off, and then goes on. "Alright. You're gonna call him over and ask him to do something for you like opening a jar of pickles."

She's having fun at my expense but her heart's in the right place.

"Then what?"

"Then get him to your bedroom somehow. Oooh! Ask him to open the jar in your room. What are you wearing?" She asks.

"Pajamas why?" I ask.

"Do you have a little t-shirt or tank top? Like an under shirt?" She asks.

"Yeah?"

"Wear that and take your girly braid out. Then put it up in a high ponytail to show off your neck and shoulders." She says.

"You really think he's gonna care about my hair?" I ask.

I'm not sure if I can do this.

"You said you'd commit, so just do it." She bosses.

"Alright, alright. Anything else?" I'm afraid to ask but I do.

"Yes, get a pair of scissors and the shortest pair of shorts you own and cut an inch off the waist and an inch off each leg. Got it?"

"Yeah. Wait that's all I'm wearing?"

"I mean it's up to you if you wanna wear panties or not, but yeah. That's your outfit. Trust me." She says.

"Then what do I do, Jo?"

"You can bend over things unnecessarily. But just wear that and he'll do the rest." She laughs as I roll my eyes.

"I don't know if I want the rest." I admit.

"Katniss, do you want somebody else to snatch up your man? Cause Delly will take him if you're done with him. Heck, I'll teach him a few things." She's laughing again. " Just kidding. We all wanna see you two get it together so, just do it." She yells then hangs up.
