Peeta's POV

I am so glad Katniss' dad allowed me to propose to her. Without Katniss I don't know what I would do. Today I was planning to go look at some rings that I think would be perfect for her. Katniss has no idea what I'm planning on doing. It will mark two years of us dating on June 18th and thats when I want to ask her the big question that will change our lives forever.

  I leave the house and drive to the jewelry store. The same one that I got Katniss' necklace at. Katniss is with her sister so it is a good time to go get one. I told her that I may go out to do some things so she wont suspect anything. When I get there I get out of the car and go into the store.

  When I walk inside I go to the section where all of the rings are. There is a man behind the counter that greets me.

  " Hello, do you need any help?," the man asks.

  " Hi, can I look at engagement rings," I ask.He nods and motions for me to come over. He pulls out a bunch of rings. There are so many to choose from. I have to think about what Katniss would want.

" These all cost $4,500," he tells me as I stare down at the many choices. I nod knowing that the price would be around what he told me. I continue to stare at them in awe and I almost zone out thinking about Katniss and I being married.

  I point to one that I think looks pretty nice. He picks it up and olds it out to me.

" This is a nice one. You planning on proposing to someone soon?," he asks trying to be friendly.

" Yeah," I say nodding. " It's this girl I've known for almost 2 years and I think its about time to get married." I tell him and he smiles.

" Okay, well what do you think about this ring," he says holding out the one that I pointed to.

" Its beautiful but I hope she will like it," I say nervous that this one isn't good enough.

" Well you know her better than I do," he says chuckling. I look down and at the corner of my eye I see a ring sitting with a few other ones in the display.

" What about that one," I say pointing to it and he goes to pick it up. I stare at it. "How much is that one?"

" This one is $5,000 and it is completely worth it. Anybody would love this one," he tells me and I look at it for a while. It seems like its worth a few more hundred. Katniss deserves the best.

  " Yea this one, this is it," I say and he smiles.

  " Good choice," he says and grabs the black box to put it in.

  He explains more about it. Im satisfied with it. I think Katniss will love it. I end up buying it and I thank the cashier for being such a good help.

  " Good luck," he says as I walk out of the door.

  " Thanks," I say and head out the door hoping that I will have good luck.

  When I get home I see that Katniss car is there so I know she is inside. I have to hide this in a really good place where I know she wouldn't find it. I go into the apartment building and take the elevator that takes me to the 4th floor where our apartment is.

  When I get inside Katniss is in the living room watching some tv.

  " Hey," she says and turns from the tv to look at me.

  " Hey," I say and walk over to her and I give her a kiss. The ring is deep in my pocket, so she doesn't see it.

" Where did you go," She asks and I stutter on my words a bit.

" I.. uhh.. was just...umm checking in on the bakery," I tell her and she nods. I hate lying to her but it's for a good cause. I go into the office room where I keep my laptop case. I open the case and put it in there.

  I can't see Katniss going in my laptop case. She has her own laptop and she never uses mine. I go back into the living room where Katniss is. I sit next to her and put my arm around her.

  " How is your sister," I say remembering she was with her today.

  " She is good. She has a new boyfriend that I kind of set her up with at the restaurant. I don't think I ever told you about that." She tells me.

  " No you didn't tell me anything about that," I laugh

  " Oh well when Prim and I were at the Cheesecake Factory, she looked like she really liked the waiter. So, I called him over and he gave Prim his number," She say and I smile.

  " Wow, nice job," I say smirking at her. This makes her laugh.

  " Thanks," she says rolling her eyes. We spend the rest of our day with each other. It's almost hard for me to not say anything about the ring but I have to keep it a secret until I propose.
