york she seeks shelter in a near by coffee shop from the rain and stumbles into a old friend from school .peeta mellark. after catching up katniss needs

to decide if she is going to open up and accept her new and old feelings for peeta or just ignore the feelings and leave the little coffee shop behind where it

all started..….

walking down the road,rain pelting hard against my forehead, i decide that i don't really want to go home and feel the wrath of my roomate

and best friend madge undersee. i make a quick left turn and decide that this shop is fine to spend a couple of hours in way from madge and the rain.

i am too busy cringing at the thought of the talk madge is going to give me when i get back to the apartment that i don't notice that i have made my way towards the counter. the sight in front of me makes me nearly fall over with shock.

in front of me is Peeta Mellark. the old nerd and best friend of my highschool years.

i am too shocked to speak at the sight of him, he just left so suddenly all those years that i just accepted that i would never see the boy i thought i loved ever again. Everyone said that his mum had beat him so hard that he had died, i wince as i recall those memories of sitting in maths next to a empty seat….

"hello welcome to the coffee bean, what would you like today?" his voice pulls me out of the trance i was pulled into after recalling all of those memories . my eyes well with tears just at the sweet sound of his voice that is have missed all these years. hes looking down so he doesn't know it is me his old best friend infront of him.

he turns around and i notice that he isn't the scranny little boy he was in 5th grade,his broad shoulders from years of working in his dads bakery have paid off , he muscly arms and forearms strain through his white cotton shirt. just that sight makes me flush and feel weak in the knees. he still has the messy mop of unruly blonde hair that leaves a light blonde trail down the nape of his neck and below his shirt. i stand there and wonder whats below that cotton shit because so far of what i've seen i have to say , i am pretty impressed. i only realise i am staring at him when a small pool of drool forms on the counter. blushing bright red i hastily wipe the drool from my lip and the counter with the edge of my leather jacket and continue to drink in the image of him as if i had just walked through the sahara desert. my eyes wander lower to the small of his back and i make a mental note that his jeans fit him snuggly. i will my eyes to move upwards and suddenly i am meet with shocking blue orbs that stare into my soul like they always did. my mouth is flapping open and closed, to happy to form any words'

"katniss?…" he seems shocked to say the least but his eyes never move away from mine. blue on gray.

"yes Peeta it me. what are you doing in new york?" then my brain screams at me to ask him the all important question" AND WHY THE HELL DID YOU DISAPPEAR!" i only realise that i yelled the last part when everyone behind the counter leave through a door which i suspect leads to a storage room of some sort. its now just me and him.

"katniss…. im sorry i cant talk right now" he manages to stammer out and eventually after saying that he pulls his eyes away from mine . i wish he hadn't .

"im sorry for yelling its just you know … you disappear for years and then i find you in a coffee shop in new york when we used to live in bosten! its just a bit to much to take in. could we sit down and talk ?"

he pauses for about a minuet before he walks to the storage room holding up on finger to signal he'd be one minuet. i wait patiently for him to return.

a couple of minuets pass when i hear yelling from behind the door to the storage room, after what has happened to peeta multiple times across our old friendship i react on instinct and jump over the counter and swing open the door
