Lethal Lovers

4: Hayffie !

Haymitch's POV

"Ooh we're the star crossed lovers and we love eachother very much. So much we can't take our hands off of eachother for two seconds! Yeah well if it wasn't for me there'd be no stupid star crossed lovers ..."

"Oh Haymitch sweetie you know you love them both really." Dammit I  didn't hear her sneak up on me, its amazing how sneaky she can be without those high heels.

"I said that all out loud huh?" I turn to look at Effie and notice how stunning she is without all that capitol tat she used to wear.

"Ha ha yes you did. You know deep down you're a big softy really .. Way way way deep down maybe" she let's out the most adorable little giggle as she says it. OK so she maybe she's right those two do mean a lot to me, they're like my kids and I most definitely am a softy as she calls me when it come to her.

"Haymitch? Is everything ok? Why are you just staring at me like that?" I hadn't realised I had been looking at her for so long.

"Oh nothing. I'm just wondering how I ended up with someone as stunning as you. You're so much prettier without all your fancy shmansy capitol clothing, I like you a lot better this way." I smile at her so she knows I'm not messing with her.

"Well Haymitch, I like you a lot better when you're not drunk all the time. I guess that rebellion did us both some good."

A smile radiates across her face. I fight the urge to kiss her but I just can't help myself, "Oh what the heck," I say reaching for her hands and pulling her closer to me, placing my lips against hers and taking her into my embrace. I will never tire of this woman.

"Hey Haymitch where's your room?" I roll my eyes as I know that sarcastic voice all too well. 

I have to prise myself away from Effie's lips and go to whisper in her ear, "Its a good thing I do love them or her at least as she can be a strangely dislikeable person interupting us like that."

She looks at me with those emerald green eyes staring straight at me, "Manners!" All I can do is snigger as its usually Katniss that gets that remark.

"Oh so you have finally managed to put him down huh sweetheart?" Katniss turns to look at Peeta as I say it and I catch her winking.

"You're not so innocent yourself Haymitch, I mean that was hardly the most discreet of kisses." I was about to say something else but Effie cuts me off.

"Alright you two, handbags away. Peeta, Haymitch was coming to ask you for some bread I believe." She puts her hand to the side of her mouth before saying the next part as if to cover her sarcastic comment to come, "you know he can't function without food."

"Oh ha ha very funny Effie," pulling my tongue out at her like a child would do.

"Ah so that's why you were looking through my window then Haymitch."

"Ouch Peeta. I thought Katniss was the sarcasm of the relationship but yes it was but I saw a little more than I wanted too." Its great to have the boy back he's come out of his shell a lot more now he is controlling the attacks.

"Well its your lucky day I did actually make some bread this morning. Why don't you and Effie come over later and I'll fix us up some food and we can maybe watch a film or something? It would be good for all of us to catch up properly again."

"That sounds like a plan Peeta, we'll see you in a bit." With that I take Effie's hand and we walk back to mine.

I feel her squeeze my hand, "Ooh I just love the idea of a double date."

"Now that darl, I am not surprised of." I knew I would pay for that after I said it and of course I did. I felt a slap across the top of my arm.

"Let me guess .... Manners?"

*****

Aww I love the idea of Hayffie they'd be so cute together.

Do we need a bit of Effie's POV in future chapters?
