Chapter 9
Peeta POV
After we finish setting up, Gale and I share a few words of thanks. He thanks me for taking care of her, and I thank him for all his help. After that he leaves, I still have a few hours until what I'm planning takes place. I decide to go get the bakery ready for tomorrow, because then I don't have to leave home at 5. As I'm kneading the dough, a familiar face walks in.
"Hi, Sarah. What can I do for you today?"
"Just a loaf of bread please." I do what she asks but she doesn't leave. Before I know it, her lips are on mine. Just as I'm about to push her off, I see Katniss in the window, meeting my eyes with hers. Then I see her run away, I push Sarah off and I go after her. It's hard to believe that all of this happened in about a second.
Katniss POV
I can't believe this. What the hell was he thinking? When I hear footsteps behind me, I just run faster. I eventually stop at my old house trying to regain my breath. I don't understand how this happened, I thought we were fine. Obviously not. When I my mind wanders out of those thoughts at last, I realize that the tears have long since started to flow, and that I don't even know how long I've been here. Must not be that long, other wise Peeta would have found me by now. I'm pretty predictable on where I would be. Strangly, just after that thought occurs to me, I see him. I'm happy to see him, and that he didn't wander into the woods to find me, but I'm also overcome with rage that he was more or less cheating on me. I thought we had become an unspoken official couple, but clearly I thought wrong.
"What the hell Peeta?"
"Kat, just let me explain."
"Explain what? The fact that you kissed her? The fact that she kissed you? Besides you deserve her, she isn't scarred or broken. Not like me, you deserve to be happy. I want you to be, and if it's not with me, than I can live with that." Before I can go on, he interupts me.
"Katniss, shut up." I start to protest but he goes on. "There is no one in this entire world that I could be happy with, except for you. How could you ever think I didn't want you? Katniss, you are all I want, forever. I couldn't change that if I tried. The capitol tried to make me not love you, they didn't succeed. Coin wanted me to kill you when we visited the Capitol, and she didn't succeed either. The sooner that you know I'm not going anywhere, the better." Before I can even say a word, his lips are touching mine. When we break off, he just looks at me and smiles. "I want to show you something." Then we walk hand in hand, I wander what he wants to show me. We are walking towards the forest when I see it.
"Peeta, this is amazing." When he looks at me I can't help but get swept up in the crystal blue ocean that everyone else calls eyes. I however call them, my world.
