Finding a dandelion in the snow

Chapter 7: Bakery

Chapter 7

Katniss P.O.V.

Okay if I put it like this. Our parents didn't exactly become happy when we told them that Peeta and I are now engaged. We explained that we're not planning on getting married right away, but we want to wait a few years. That calmed them down but they're still not happy. They'll get used to the thought. I think they're all secretly happy though.

One who's not secretly happy but very much openly happy is Annie. She's already planning the wedding. She needs to calm her tits. Like a lot. She's already announced herself as maid of honor and decided what color and what type of dress the bridesmaids dresses are gonna be.

To vent much feelings, I told Peeta I'd help out in the bakery today because they're having a birthday party for a six year old girl. See, the bakery is also kind of a café and a lot of people enjoy being there. We have regulars who comes in every day or every weekend or a specific day. People sit for hours and hours. And a lot have told us that they not only enjoy the service, the pastries, cakes, cookies, coffee and homemade ice cream and milkshakes, but they love the owners, who's always greeting their customers with such happiness and friendliness. And the Mellark's often has birthday parties for children here, they enjoy it as much as the parents does.

I usually help out at birthday parties though because someone need to take care of the party and the kitchen still has to be run and the cashier and serving other customers who's not at the party.

So I now enter the bakery. The party has started and I see Peeta wearing a clown nose. I smile and keep myself from starting to laugh. Such a good sight. Peeta with a big red nose. I feel like I may crack a rib or something from keeping myself from laughing. Damn it hurts.

I walk to the cashier and put on an apron, ready to greet customers.

When you stand behind the cashier you get a change to really observe people. And I love observing people, how they talk, how they walk, how they laugh, just how they behave in general, wondering who's gay and who's straight, their ages, wealthy or not by the look of the clothes they're wearing. What job they might have.

Right now I'm observing a couple who seems to be arguing. They're getting louder and louder, from only talking to starting to shout and soon maybe yelling.

"How am I supposed to trust you after everything we've been through?" The girl asks.

"I know now what I want Hailey, please trust me on that", the boy says.

I raise my eyebrows. Come on dude, she just said she couldn't trust you.

"I don't know, you keep going to other girls and I know we aren't a couple or anything but I don't want to be a girl you just fuck and than leave to go fuck other girsl", the girl, Hailey shouts. "I'm so done Trey! I mean it!"

"Hailey I don't want anyone but you! For fuck sake, why won't you hear me? I love you!" The boys yells.

"Oh you call that love? Yelling at me? It's the first time you've told me that and you yell at me you fucking asshole!"

Damn! There's a kids party going on here.

I can't stay here anymore, I have to do something. Peeta looks at me from the party and pleads with his eyes, telling me to stop them. I notice the kids watching the couple.

"Hey!" I shout at the couple and walk up to them. "That's enough".

They ignore me and continues the fight.

What can I do? They won't listen.

I decide to use my powers, instead of me yelling I'm gonna sing the only song I come to think of when I see and hear this couple.

"Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise

'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But some how it's enough

And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you

'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see

And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see

Sometimes the snow comes down in june
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

You went and saved the best for last".

The couple isn't fighting anymore. They're looking at me.

"Look, it's clear to me that you love each other, so Trey, get your shit together and stop fucking around when you've got a beautiful girl right here", I say and he looks ashamed. "And Hailey, if he doesn't stop, dump his ass, you deserve someone who treats you with respect, but for the love of god both of you, don't come in yelling that stuff in a public place or at a kids party again, it's embarrassing not only for you but for all of us".

They look at each other. They take each others hands. They smile and kiss.

One other thing I observe when I watch people, is if they're crazy or not. These people clearly are, but hey, love makes you crazy right?

They leave the bakery. And now I realize how everyone are looking at me. I suddenly realize that the couple and I weren't alone in the bakery and I smile nervously.

"Just taking care of a little situation, it's all cleared up now, I'm sorry for disturbing your coffee", I say and walk behind the cashier again.

This is when the whole café explodes into a fit of applauds. I laugh nervously. Damn this I did not intended when I walked here today. But since when can you predict what's gonna happen really? Life is a mystery, maybe that's what it's always so nerve-wracking.

Peeta is smiling towards me with the biggest and proudest smile and I start to blush. No one make me as nervous as this one boy. No one and nothing.
