Always

Chapter 12: Marvel

"Cheese buns are done!" I jump off the couch and run to the kitchen. "Cheese buns." I close my eyes and smell the freshly made cheese buns by the one and only Peeta Mellark.

Arms wrap around my waist and I jump. "Scare you?" Peeta whispers. I face him and smile. "Just a little." I run my nose against his.

He wraps his arms tighter around me. "Peeta." I whine. "I want a cheese bun, let me goooo." He only squeezes me tighter. I giggle and look up at him.

His bright blue eyes look at me. I kiss his nose and grab a cheese bun.

We haven't kissed since the meadow. Which was two months ago. I now live with Peeta since it's still tense between me and Finnick.

"Katniss." I turn towards Peeta and take a big bite out of the cheese bun. Peeta smiles and starts laughing. I smile with the cheese bun still in my mouth, which makes Peeta laugh even more.

I eat the whole cheese bun and Peeta grabs my hands. "Dress nice tonight, I want to take you out to dinner." He smiles at me.

I blush. "Is this a date?" His face turns bright red and I smile. "Maybe." He whispers, kissing my cheek.

I nod. "I guess, I'll go." I wink at him and walk upstairs. "7:00!" He yells.

"7:00." I yell back. I look back to see him smiling at me, I smile back.

"Katniss." I hear a knock on my door. "Don't come in." He laughs. "Alright."

I look at my self in the mirror. My knee length, strapless black dress. Just a little bit of makeup and my hair down in its natural waves.

I look around and find my black high heels and slip them on.

Hopefully I don't fall in these. I look down at my heels and smile. I put my necklace, that Peeta gave me years ago on, and walk downstairs.

He turns and sees me, his eyes look me up and down then he comes over towards me. "H-how do I look?" I ask, nervously.

"Beautiful." He whispers in my ear, kissing my cheek.

I giggle. "You look good." He's wearing a black tux. "But you always look good." I whisper in his ear.

His face turns red and I drag him to the car. "Come on, if you don't want to be late." I smile at him.

He takes me to the Abernathy Bar, which also is a restaurant. They have really good food, which is surprising.

Me and Peeta have known Haymitch for ever, he's practically family to me. He knew me and Peeta dated forever back then, he'll probably think we're back together.

We walk in and are greeted by a guy with brown hair and green eyes. The guy looks at me and winks, I blush.

"Follow me." He says, leading us over to a booth. We sit down and the guy stares at me. I look down at his name tag.

Marvel.

"What would you like to drink?" He stares at me the whole time, his eyes never leaving me.

"Water." I say.

"Same as her." Peeta says looking at me.

I smile at him and look back to see the guy still there. "Yes?" I say, a little annoyed.

"What's your name?" He asks, looking between me and Peeta. "Katniss." I gesture towards Peeta. "This is Peeta."

"Marvel." He nods. "I'll go get your drinks." He winks at me and walks off.

I look at Peeta to see his eyes follow Marvel the whole time. His eyes show, anger.

He looks at me. They show another emotion too.

Jealousy.
