A/N: Hey guys, I know you have been waiting for this chapter, but first I wanna thank you all. Thank you so much for the inspiration each and everyone of you gives me. Thank you for the reviews, the messages, everything; thank you for being loyal. I had no idea that you cared so much for me, but thank you, these past few weeks have been hard, but you guys have made it more bearable. Without further ado, I present CHAPTER 18!

Peeta's POV

Spending time with Katniss, is one of the best and worst things. The best, because, well she's Katniss, she's funny, loud, cute and just great. The worst because, her beauty and grace attracts a lot of unwanted male attention. In my previous relationships, I sometimes got jealous or possessive but that seems like nothing compared to what I feel when I see a guy practically undressing my girl with his beady little eyes. Oh the problems of having a gorgeous girlfriend.

"Hey, Bear?" Katniss calls from our bathroom. Funny enough, we are living in the same room that I saw Katniss naked in. Let me tell you, I have not forgotten that and I don't plan to anytime soon. When did I become such a pervert? Oh yea, when I started to hang out with my brothers. Anyways about a week after we started dating, I found out Katniss loves gummy bears, like she's kinda obsessed. So, being the ever loving boyfriend I am, I took to calling her gummy. Of course, she refused to stand by and let me torment her so she concluded that I would be bear. She claimed that it was only fair and that it made sense since I was hairier than her. She also argued that together we would be gummy bear and that everyone loves gummy bears.

After, much kissing and persuading she got me to agree. The things I do for this girl.

"Yea, Gummy?" I call back teasingly. She smiles and looks at me fondly.

"Can we go to the cafe down the street today? Alone?" She asks, going back to brushing her teeth. The past few weeks we have been doing everything we could here, from dancing to wine tasting to visiting the historical landmarks to eating Italian food. Of course, we had her over-protective step-brother, her crazy friends, my perverted brothers and friend, and her little sister to accompany us. Some alone time would do us good.

"Yea, sure." I say getting up to shower. I notice Katniss following me, confused I turn to face her.

"Why are you following me?"

"Peeta, we gotta save water, so let's shower together." She states, looking me up and down hungrily.

"Nice try, but Katniss you overestimate my self-control." I laugh.

"But Peeta." She pouts putting her arms around my waist. I gulp and she smirks, she leans up and starts to kiss up my neck, to my jaw and stops near my lips. "Please?' She whispers seductively. In my lust hazed mind I barely register myself nodding. She smirks and that is how we end up taking a half-hour shower, sadly the only thing we did was shower and kiss.

I swear this girl is gonna make me insane, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

We head down to the lobby and walk hand in hand to the small bakery on the corner of the busy street. When I open the door, the delicious smell of bread and pastries hits me like a tidal wave. It brings back memories of the bakery back at home and of my dad, he's ecstatic to meet Katniss. We've been talking and he made me tell him all about the trip, unfortunately, my tongue slipped and I mentioned Katniss, concluding in an hour long conversation about her. He's thrilled I found someone, he said and I quote 'I thought I would have to start buying some cat toys' apparently he had the idea that I would be alone and stay in my apartment with 10 cats. He made me promise to bring Katniss to meet him when we got back, and ever since, he's been counting down the days until we get back. He's really a child at heart.

We make our way to the counter and the girl behind the counter stares at Katniss lustfully. See what I mean! Even girls are checking Katniss out! Katniss orders a cannoli with chocolate chips and a coffee and I order the same, wanting to try the Italian pastry.

We sit with our food and the door opens once again. In walks a guy with a leather jacket and sunglasses. He looks our way, but he stops and looks Katniss over appreciatively, he winks and I have to resist the urge to rips out his eyes and beat the shit outta him. Damn, when did I get so violent.

Unkown's POV

Peeta and Katniss have been getting close, a bit too close for my liking, but it needs to be done. Soon they'll be in love and then my plan can be set in motion. If everything goes right- and it will- then I will get what I want. They will both be heartbroken and I'll swoop in and comfort Katniss while the bitch consoles the asshole who took my girl.

My phone rings open and I answer it gruffly.

"What?" I bark into the phone.

"They're going out to Panificio di Gio near the hotel" (Gio's bakery) the voice on the other end says.

I say nothing and hang up, no need to make the conversation any longer than necessary. I grab my keys and hop onto my motorcycle, speeding of to my dear cousin's bakery to cause chaos.

A/N: Sorry for the shortness, but who do you think it is? No it isn't Gale. I'll update when I can, bye guys!
