Katniss paced the length of her room, wondering what she was going to wear on her date with Peeta, all he told her was to dress comfortable and warm and yet she still couldn't find anything in her cupboard to wear. It wasn't until Prim came into her room
"Mum said if you don't stop pacing, you'll pace a hole into the floor" she laughed while continuing to walk into the room and lounge on Katniss's bed.
"Ugh, stop making fun of me Prim, I literally have nothing to wear! Like honestly how do I even make something comfortable look cute, not to mention I'm bloated, I look like shit and I'm pretty sure my pale clammy skin doesn't help" Katniss had been experiencing extremely horrible morning sickness and seemed to look thinner and more bloated than glowing and pregnant, she, was 4 and a half months pregnant and she already couldn't wait until she was done with being pregnant.
Prim just looked empathetically at her sister pushing her out of the way and moving to see what she could rummage together.
"I honestly don't know why you're worrying so much, Peeta is clearly into you and won't care what you wear, but if you're so worried put this on" Prim said before moving out of Katniss's way to let her see the outfit.
There in front of Katniss was a simple green jumper with gold beading along the neckline, a black denim A-line skirt with a pair of black tights for underneath. She couldn't believe how her sister put together such a simple yet gorgeous outfit.
"here sit I'll do your make up as well" prim said before she began adding everything and anything to Katniss's face. She then went to pin up her hair, she left most of her hair done in loose curls and put the other half up in a messy bun, she then added black boots to the look and as Katniss looked at herself in the mirror she couldn't help but feel more pretty than pregnant, she wasn't over the top, but looked nice for a 'simple date' as Peeta called it.
"Wow Prim, I look way better than what I looked like this morning, with my head down the toilet and my sweaty hair in the way" she laughed as she stole another glance at herself in the mirror.
"well it wasn't that hard when you've got a pretty good canvas to work with" prim laughed before putting one last clip in Katniss's hair and sitting on the bed.
"yeah right, I wish I looked like you little duck, I wouldn't have to worry about any of this, I could just throw on anything and loo good then" Katniss replied
Prim answered with an eyeroll, before she could reply the doorbell rang.
Katniss suddenly felt nervous, her heart began to race, and she couldn't believe she was going on a date with Peeta Mellark. She couldn't believe a lot of things, being pregnant with his child being one of them. She was broken from her thoughts by her mother, alerting her that peeta has in fact arrived and was waiting for her. Prim looked at Katniss before winking at her "go get him tiger" she laughed as she walked into the bathroom.
Katniss's hands felt clammy as she walked down the stairs, she didn't see Peeta but she suddenly heard commotion from the kitchen. "Here Ms Everdeen if you fold the dough like this, it prevents the air from trapping and your dough will rise better"
"thank you Peeta, I didn't know that I've been baking this bread since I was a girl and I never knew that I'll have to see if it tastes differently now" she replied before laughing and winking at Peeta.
Katniss couldn't help but admire his strong jaw as he laughed alongside her mother, his smile was so charismatic she hoped their child inherits his smile. She then eyed up his outfit and was pleased with how well his jeans hung around his backside and how his casual shirt seemed to make his muscles more prominent. She was then aware of how caught up in him she was, so she broke up her mother and Peeta's conversation by a small cough.
Peeta turned around and when he saw her, she noticed how his smile grew wider and the twinkle in his eye seemed to gleam brighter.
"Hey, you" Peeta said before walking over to Katniss and placing a small kiss on her cheek, he then put his hand on her small bump said "and hello to you too, little bean" he said causing Katniss to giggle "you're such an idiot"
"But I'm your idiot" he replied before realising what he said and turning bright red… "I mean… umm"
"where are you two off to?" Ms Everdeen intervened breaking up what would have been an awkward silence
"well that Ms Everdeen, is a surprise, you'll have to wait until Katniss comes home to find out" he laughed "you ready to go Katniss? "
"yeah, I'm ready when you are" she replied "see you later mum" she said before waving bye to her mum and accepting Peeta's hand.
Peeta opened the car door for Katniss before, getting around to his side and hopping into the driver's side of the car. "buckle up" he said before reversing out of Katniss's drive way.
"so, where are you taking me?" Katniss asked as she gazed out at the trees rushing past her.
"well I meant what I said as it being a surprise, but if you really want to know I'll tell you if…"
"if what?" Katniss asked as she lifted up her eyebrow curiously
"if you can stop looking so radiant" Peeta said
"Oh, give over Peeta, I'm hardly radiant. I'm bloated and practically like casper the friendly ghost. I'm far from radiant" Katniss replied
"you don't get it do you" Peeta replied with a chuckle
"Get what?" she replied
"the effect you have on people. I mean Katniss, you're glowing! I still can't believe that that is my baby you're carrying. I know this didn't exactly go as planned as everything seems so rushed but I do really like you and I really want to make this work, if you'll allow it?"
She was speechless, she didn't realise Peeta felt that way about her. How could he they hardly knew each other, other than the fact that he doesn't take sugar in his tea or that he double knots his shoelaces. Small details she noticed when they were telling their parents about bump. when she realises that she too had, feelings for Peeta, she finally broke the silence by replying
"I'll allow it"
