Chapter 26:
-Katniss-
When Peeta kissed me yesterday, I wasn’t mad -surprisingly- but I wasn’t happy either.
“We have no food” Prim announces from the kitchen.
“Take out then?” Clove asks.
“You know a place?” I ask.
“Yep. Good breakfast” Clove says and I toss her the keys.
“C’mon Prim” I say.
She follows us out the door and into the car. I took the back seat since Prim wanted to ride up front. I rested my head on the window to my side. I realize we were still in Area 12, headed towards Peeta’s family bakery.
“We’re eating there?” I ask.
“Yeah. Problem?” Clove asks.
“No” I say.
It felt like a complete lie. I felt jittery and nervous.
“Are you getting out?” Clove interrupts my train of thought.
“What?” my head snaps up.
“I said, you and Prim go ahead. I’ll park” she says.
“Sorry” I say apologetically before joining Prim outside.
Prim takes my hand and we approach the bakery.
“Hello Prim” a man waves from the counter.
“Hello Mr Mellark” Prim smiles at him. I look to her, expecting an explanation.
“This must be your sister. I’m George Mellark” Peeta’s dad smiles.
“Hello sir. I’m Katniss” I say.
“I know. This little girl talks about you a lot” he smiles warmly.
“Good things I hope” I glance at Prim.
“Of course” she grins at me.
“What can I get you girls this morning?” he asks.
We selected a pastry and paid for them. We were sat on a table near the window, watching the sun shine high. Clove came rushing in and glancing around the room. She spotted us and sat with us.
“What took you so long?” I ask.
“Couldn’t find a parking spot” she shrugs.
“There’s plenty on that side” I point out the window.
“How did I not see that? I had to park down the street!” she exclaims. Prim giggles and Clove sighed.
“just get your breakfast. You don’t want to be late” I say, handing her the money. She took it and got in line for her food.
“These pastries are good” I say, taking another bite of the cheese bun. “Oh I know. Those are cheese buns right?” Prim asks. I nod, taking another bite.
“Yesterday, Mr Mellark told me that Peeta makes those” I almost choked on my food.
“P-Peeta?” I stutter.
“Yeah?” came his voice behind me.
He was dressed in a quarter-sleeved shirt and his usual jeans. “N-nothing” I say not meeting his eyes.
“You have good buns” I say raising the bread a bit.
“Good buns eh?’ Clove arrived back at the table. She had that look on her face. I saw Peeta turn a light shade of pink.
