When I finished my cup of coffee I went back home to find a baking Peeta. I didn't even notice that it was already 4 pm and that I didn't even had a decent breakfast. But there he was, in the kitchen, with some fresh cheese buns that will not last long. "So how was hunting?" He asked when kissing me. "Well didn't really hunt today, but I found you some berries." I reply opening my bag and giving the berries to him. "No strawberries?" I smiled at the thought of the strawberry pie. "No, no strawberries. But I have an idea about that. What if we order some seeds from the capitol and make our own little garden? That way you could have all the strawberries you want, and we could even plant some plants, like herbs en other stuff? What do you think?" I hope he doesn't start to laugh like Haymitch did. "That's a great idea! We could plant some strawberry seeds, and raspberry and blueberries! Some chive to! Ooh Katniss you're awesome!" He say putting his hands covered of flour on my face and kissing me. "Definitely not the same reaction as Haymitch!" I say smiling knowing that I've flour on my face. "So you went over there? What did he said?" "Well he started laughing really hard when I said he could help us with the garden. I guess he's just not into gardening." "Yeah, I don't think Haymitch is the gardening type! I understand why he started laughing. Do you even imagine Haymitch covered of mud?" No, I only can imagine him covered of liquor or vomit, not really mud. "No, you're right. But I do think I've found him something to do. You know something like a hobby." I say, I can tell with the look on his face he has no idea of what Haymitch Abernatchy could possible has as hobby. "You mean, something other than his liquor and his TV!" He's one eyebrow moving out of surprise. "When you do know that Haymitch always take his knife everywhere he goes right? Well I saw him carving his table again when I was over there, we should get him another table by the way, and saw that he was carving some beautiful waves into it. So I suggested him to try carving some wood to make sculptures." Peeta was actually shocked when I said that. "Katniss Everdeen, you're the most good looking smart woman of the whole world! We should try and find him some wood tomorrow! He liked the idea right?" I always feel good when Peeta is talking about me, I just can see myself the way he does. "Yes, he liked it." I say taking a cheese bun and eating it. "A smart, beautiful girl. And all mine." I could hear him say when I was walking to the living room.
A month later.
Peeta was giving permission to open he's own bakery. He had asked for it just a few weeks after he got back in district 12. The start the construction of it at the exact some place as his father's bakery. He is so happy about it. We are working in our fresh new garden. The seeds arrived just a few days ago with the train from the capitol. We are planting the seeds when I notice a flower not too far. It was a little yellow flower that came out during spring. A primrose. All suddenly I could imagine Prim standing just next to it. Like she was before the games. With her blond locks and her duck tail. I stood up and pluck the flower. "Katniss?" Peeta was still working on the garden but noticed I was not next to him anymore. I just couldn't speak. All I could think about was that little duck tail. I went back into the house and but the flower in some water before heading to the bedroom. I took off all my clothes and went to the one place I could be alone actually feels a little better. Once in the bathroom I went directly into the shower. I was looking at the water that went away. Prim, everything I did, I did it for her, and now she isn't even here anymore. I failed with her. I should be the one that was gone, not her. Peeta walked in the bedroom, I guess he noticed the flower in the kitchen. He knocked on the door. "Katniss? Katniss I'm coming in." I couldn't even tell him to leave me alone. It's like I was just empty inside. Then I noticed that I was actually crying. Peeta came in the bathroom and join me in the shower so he could take me in his arm. There I was, crying in Peeta's arm about the one promise I couldn't keep.
After what happened the day before I wasn't really in a good mood to start the day. Peeta had done everything he could think of to make smile or even just talk. But someday you just can't say more than two words at the time. So when I woke up, I noticed he was still in bed, even if it was probably noon, stroking my back. The nightmares came back during the night. But this time they were different. I saw does mutation that Peeta and I saw during the first came. The one with the eyes of the others tributes. But the mutations had Prim's eyes. "Wanna talk about it?" I guess Peeta noticed that I had a nightmare. "Not really. I just want to stay here with you. Not do anything. Just hold you and hear your heart beat." And that's what I did for a while, just listen to his heart beat, the most beautiful sound in the inter world. He kisses my front head, and got up just to kiss him back. The contact of his lips against mine made me forget everything else. And so I did for a while, just kiss him. And like always when we kissed, I felt the fire of the passion running to my whole body and we end you making love to each other.
"I love you Katniss. You know I'm here if you want to talk." I felt better now. I always do when I'm in Peeta's arms. "And I love you too Peeta. But really, I just don't feel like talking about it right now." "No problem. So what about breakfast?" Breakfast, I do think we still have some cheese buns somewhere. "Seems nice, but I take the cheese buns!" A little smiled appeared on his gorgeous face and somehow he got transferred to mine. "I've missed that smile." He said taking me out of bed.
We went to the kitchen where I found the last cheese bun we had. "That one is mine" I said, knowing that Peeta would let it to me, I always get the last cheese bun. "Actually, I think you should keep that one for later…" What was that weird thing in his voice? I didn't recognize it. "Why? Peeta Mellark, don't even think about eating the last cheese bun!" Share the last cheese bun? Not an option either. "No, I'm not thinking about eating it myself. Just think you should keep it for later. Maybe when you're in a better mood…" Why would I wait? Cheese buns always get me in a good mood… . Peeta was really acting weird this morning. "But, I don't want to wait. I want to eat it now…" I said making a sad face while looking at him. "Well I can't refuse you to eat it, but just be careful when you eat it." He looked at me when I took a bite from the cheese bun. No I am not sharing my cheese bun, so you can stop staring… I thought. When I suddenly felt something a hard in my mouth. Peeta would have never let hard cheese in his buns! What is that? I take it out of my mouth and look at it. Its round with a golden color. And then I see Peeta kneeling, as much as it is possibly with his leg. "Katniss Everdeen, you're the most beautiful, smart, funny girl with who I've ever been fake engaged, fake married and had a fake pregnancy with. So what if we started to do real things? Katniss Everdeen, I love you, will you marry me?" Wait, that golden thing was an engagement ring! Peeta was proposing me! "Peeta Mellark, did you really just asked me to marry you!" "Yes, I did." I was getting more nervous with the minute. "So?" He asked. "Yes, Peeta Yes I want to marry you!" And he took the ring out of my hand, cleaned and put it on my finger. "I love you so much!" I said between too kisses. Now that the ring was proper I could see a diamond on it. Not a big one, a more 'shy' one. But it was absolutely the most beautiful ring I've ever seen. "I thought that with a bigger diamond you wouldn't be able to hunt with it and that you would prefer a little one. Not to obvious standing their proud on the ring." He said, probably worrying that I didn't like the ring. "Peeta, it's the most beautiful ring I've ever seen!" I'm engaged to Peeta Mellark, the boy with the bread. That beautiful boy with blond hair and blue eyes proposed to me and I said 'YES'. "I love you Katniss!" "I love you to Peeta." I said when I started to kiss him again.
