Chapter 6
Before even thinking I'm running after Peeta, to the white land rover on the side of the road. Once I climb in to the passenger's side I realise I should have brought a coat or umbrella as it doesn't look like the sunny weather from yesterday will return. The second Peeta shuts his door the engine starts and we are already out the driveway.
"Where are Finnick and Annie?" I demanded. Oh no I hope nothing bad has happened to Annie she seemed like such a sweet caring girl. And Finnick with his charming good looks. What if they were in an accident? A car crash? As all the bad thoughts keep running through my head Peeta finally snaps me out of my daze.
"Katniss..KATNISS!" I turn to him and he carries on. "Nothing bad has happened with them." He pauses "well nothing that you need to worry about at the moment. Something just came up with Finnick and Jo. So Gales taken Annie to Mags."
Who is Mags? Is she someone from school, her aunt or grandmother? A family member? Peeta sees my confusion. "I will explain that another time." He releases a long sigh and focuses on the road. I feel like something's going unspoken between us. So I try and make conversation.
"You drew the short straw then?" I ask raising my eyebrows. I doubt many boys wish to go shopping on the weekend. I dont even want to go.
"Actually I offered to take you. Gale said he would come back to take you later but I insisted. I didn't have any plans this afternoon, so I would love to spend the day getting to know you." He just being nice I reassure myself. Probably feels guilty, can't say I blame him.
"Are you hungry" Peeta asks. Just as I'm am going to say no my stomach rumbles. Seems like it misses its club sandwich sitting in the fridge. "I will take that as a yes" he smirks. "your just in luck, I needed to pop by the bakery on our way to the shops."
"yeah sorry about that looks like skipping meals does actually make you hungry"
"Look no worries the bakery is just around the corner. I needed to stop by and tell father I wont be coming round for dinner later." Peeta explained. "I can grab us a bite to eat then, have any favourites?" I shake my head and hr continues "oh, well i will surprise you "
Peeta turns down the next avenue and drives straight past the old warn building that states its 'Mellarks Bakery' then has a small sign saying in business since 1869. Thats an awful long time. Surely they must be good to have stayed open all this time.
Just as im about to question Peeta about where hes taken me. The roads look suddenly familiar. As we start to drive down the dusted back roads i realise this must be the back entry for the bakey. Why does it all look so familiar? Ive only been to district 12 once before and that was months before father had died.
Peeta is making his way to the door of the bakery in the small storm thats been brewing all morning. His hairs started curling in the nape of his neck and his usually blonde hairs turned darker. His white tshirt clinging to his defined figure complements his look. Just before I look away Peeta glances my way.
Crap! Hes caught me staring! What shall I do! Whilst either of us dare to break eye contact the man i assume to be Peeta's father appears and pulls his son in for a hug.
They quickly go inside and I'm still shocked on what happened. I saw something in Peetas eyes as he looked at me. It was all pretty intense, he's probably gathered I was checking him out. But that look he gave me. Its enough to make a girl turn into a puddle.
I dont realise how long im sitting there thinking about Peeta but he frightens me as he slams the truck door shut.
"Sorry about that. I rarely see my father alone any more and we had a few things to discuss. I hope you didnt mind." He apologises
"Dont worry. Its the least i can do considering you have changed your plans to take me out." I blush
"Lets hit the road then" he hands me the brown bag he brought back with him "for you madam" he does a little bow and smirks.
I mutter a thanks and turn beet red. Crap! How does he do this to me. His grin brings on my famous scowl.
"Quit moaning and eat up woman." He laughs and drives off.

"This our destination" Peeta stops right in front of a small store that would give Victoria Beckham's wardrobe a run for its money. The clothes lining the rales all look like one of a kinds. Nothing inside looks like all the similar clothes all the other shops displayed on our way here. Even from the distance you could see the detail stitched on these clothes.
I just stand there shocked. None of these clothes will ever look good on my petite figure. Just as I'm going to make a run for it Peeta realise and grabs my hand.
"Oh no you dont." He warns. He turns me to face him and i notice that look in his eyes again. "Together?"
Looking up at him I nod not trusting myself to speak. Still holding hands we turn to the shop.
"One.." Peeta starts mumbling
"Two" I repeat
"Three" Peeta finishes and drags me inside without anymore discussion.
