"Peeta! Let me out, it's cold!" Katniss screamed from inside the freezer.
After Peeta had attacked her with hugs he had unlocked the door and shoved her into the freezer. Wasn't the most romantic thing but she didn't know Peeta had something up his sleeve.
He walked around the kitchen, throwing a bright red blanket over the table and lighting the tall stemmed candles that sat in the middle. He placed all the food neatly on the tables and washed his hands and face off, all the dough clocking the drain. His dad randomly walking by with a 2 foot cake, "That's a waste of dough," He said. Peeta turned around shocked and then laughed, "Well do you want me to use this-," He gestured to the dough dripping down the drain, "In our next cake?" His dad smiled, "Yeah, I think your mom's birthday coming up. She wouldn't want us to spend extra money on fresh ingredients for her," He joked before walking out the kitchen. Peeta smiled and combed his hair to the side. He took a deep breath and then walked over to the freezer and unlocked the door.
Katniss almost tumbled out the freezer. "Thank you," She said dusting the frozen ice particles off her. Peeta grabbed her hand, "I think I know a way to warm you up," He smiled. Katniss leaned in for a kiss but didn't feel Peetas soft lips on hers. She opened her eyes to see him trying to stifle back a laugh, "I was talking about eating our dinner. Come on silly," He said before leading her to the table.
She gasped at the beauty. "Peeta…" He pulled out a chair for her and she plopped down. Peeta bent down and began kissing her neck, moving her hair away from her ear and whispering, "You look so beautiful," He moved away and sat across from her. Katniss rolled her eyes playfully, "Oh yes so beautiful covered in dough," "Only adds to your sweetness," Peeta joked.
The dinner was magical, the candle light dancing off Katniss tan and glimmering off Peetas silky blonde hair. She looked up at him once she tasted her food; it was like thanksgiving in your mouth! Her eyes widened in shock, "This is delicious!" He looked up at her and smiled "Well you cooked it,"
It was silent for a while until Katniss cleared her throat, "Peeta what about next year at the Games? We have to mentor those poor kids," Peeta took a deep breath, "I know, I was thinking about it too. But we did survive the Games, we have a chance at getting District 12 another Victor. And you know what, Prim can come to! We can show her around the Capitol, she would love all the foods and people!"
Something about the way he said it involving Prim. He made this horrible situation almost… positive. That was the thing about Peeta, he was the ray of sunshine in the rainstorm, he was the dandelion in the spring. He let nothing ruin his mood and made sure no one else felt sad around him. Yes they lived in the poorest district and people died everyday of starvation but he still wore that 'I'm happy to be alive' smile on his adorable face. He made the best out of everything. 'Without him I don't think I would be here right now. Or I don't think I'd be sane. I need him," All these thoughts rushed through Katniss mind and suddenly they just exploded inside her with joy. She leaped out of her chair and knocked over everything on the table, all the plates and food crashing onto the tile floor. She cupped Peetas shocked face and kissed him as hard as she could.
He was shocked at first but immediately responded, snaking his hand up her neck and cupping her face, smiling as he deepened the kiss. Katniss thought to herself, "for a bakers son he does know how to kiss," She laughed at the thought and Peeta pulled back smiling, "What?" Katniss shook her head, still leaning over the table. Her hand was on some kind of mash potatoes but she didn't care, "it's just, you're a pretty great kisser for a bakers son," She teased. Peetas eyes widened in amazement, "Your not bad for a hunter what do you do kiss the animals?" Katniss rolled her eyes, "Oh do you think about that a lot, me in the woods with my bow?" She tried sounding seductive but it came off to playfully. But Peeta caught the message, "oh yes. And I think 'she could be starving! I have to bring her some bread!'" He busted out laughing. Katniss just smiled, the thoughts in her mind becoming more joyful, him and her together with Prim running through the meadow. NOT married but close to it. She still wasn't ready for marriage, but she thought life without him wasn't possible. She would do anything for him and him for her. And she felt horrible it took her till the Hunger Games to realize this.
Katniss smiled at his comforting laugh and with her clean hand grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him closer, pressing her forehead against his. "I think it's time for dessert,"
