Back by popular demand! I thought that Part 2 would be a bit of a let down...but I guess not! You guys gave me some awesome ideas to continue it,so Merry Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanza/Whatever you may celebrate everyone! Here's another chapter...

Peeta's POV

The day after Katniss kissed me in gym class,I asked her to come over to the bakery with me after school. I never expected her to say she would! It was pretty quiet for most of the walk. My brothers luckily had things to do after school,so they were nowhere in sight.

"Mom,Dad? I'm home." I yelled as we walked in the door.

I glanced over at Katniss,who was looking around the room. Then I remembered she's never been in any shops besides The Hob, and I don't really count that as a shop. I took her upstairs to my room since I had to change out of my school clothes. She spent most of that time staring at the ceiling. When we got downstairs my mother was standing behind the counter.

"Where have you been!" She snapped as soon as she saw me. But she seemed to forget that I existed as soon as she saw Katniss. Unfortunately,she apparently still remembered the bread from 3 years ago. And made no effort to hide it.

"Why is she here?" She growled at me.

"I thought you'd be happy I finally brought a girl home..." I mumbled under my breath while rummaging through the cabinet. She wasted no time backhanding me across the face.

"You know better than to speak to me that way!"

I ignored her and went back to trying to find the cinnamon and vanilla in the cabinet. Before she had the chance to scream at me for ignoring her,my dad showed up in the doorway.

"You deal with him and the Seam girl,I have errands to run." She yelled at him and slammed the front door.

I finally relaxed and grabbed what I needed,putting everything in front of Katniss. Who was patiently waiting on the other side of the counter.

Katniss' POV

I had completely forgotten how much of a bitch Peeta's mom is. Poor kid. I noticed his dad standing in the doorway, thank God he buys squirrels off me and likes me.

"Hey Mr. Mellark." I chirped and smiled at him.

"Hello, Katniss. To what do I owe your presence today?"

"Peeta actually asked me to. Not sure why,though. Not yet anyway."

"Well,Peet? Special reason you asked Katniss to come over?"

Peeta blushed,and I have to admit. It was cute.

"No,not really. We were just...talking yesterday in gym class." He looked at me and tried to wink,but both eyes closed. I giggled in response.

"Well,it looks like you two have things under control in here. I'll leave you alone." Mr. Mellark laughed and went back upstairs.

Peeta stood on the other side of the counter,mixing things into a big bowl. When he turned his back,I reached across the counter and stuck my finger in the bowl. I turned back around just as I sat back down. He smiled.

"I saw that you know?" He said,scooping cookie dough onto a sheet.

"I know." I smiled back. "This is really good."

"Just wait until they're baked. Then tell me what you think."

I couldn't help myself. I leaned back across the counter and kissed his cheek. He reached his arm around me and pulled me closer and kissed my lips. He slowly pulled back after a minute to put the cookies in the oven. Then he walked around to my side of the counter and sat next to me.

"This mean you're my girlfriend?" He asked,tucking a flyaway hair behind my ear. I kissed him in response.

"I'll take that as a yes." He smiled,when I pulled back.

Nice twist? (: Thanks everyone who thought I should continue it with them as a couple for the inspiration! Have I told you all lately that you ROCK? Happy Holidays everyone! ~ Abby
