My Dark Past [Completed]

Chapter Twelve: First Date

Tonight is the night that is my first date with Peeta, he's kept where he's taking me a secret and I absolutely hate secrets, you never know if you'll love or hate it but I'm hoping because it's Peeta that I'll enjoy it. As I put books in my locker and take the ones I need out Delly approaches me with her two minions behind her

"You know Peeta and I were doing just fine until you came in and stole him" Delly growls and I look at her like she's crazy

"You and Peeta? Can't you give it a rest? Isn't it tiring pushing people around like you do? Because I'm tired of you pushing me and everyone else around so why don't you shut your big fat gob and leave us all alone" I snap at her, she storms off 'crying' and immediately I start feeling horrible at what I said, there was so many other ways I could've said that without hurting her feelings....

"That was so awesome!" I hear Madge say, I turn and see her behind me with Peeta

"I feel horrible though.... there were so many other ways that it could've been said" I frown

"Well you shouldn't, you stood up for yourself, you put her in her place" Peeta says putting his arm around my waist but I still feel bad....

"Hey, don't think about anything like that. We've got a date tonight remember?" He adds making me smile at him

"And I've been looking forward to it all week" I sigh and he kisses my forehead

"So have I" he chuckles

+++++

"Really? Makeup as well" I groan as Madge pens up her makeup box

"Yes really. This is your first date so shut up and let us make you look more beautiful than you already are" Madge sternly says as Annie just giggles

"Do I have to stand in my towel?" I ask, I've got nothing but a towel wrapped around me after Madge demanded that I have a shower

"Do you have like a bathrobe or something?" She asks, after I put on some underwear I get my bathrobe and put it on me so I'm not nude when Madge does my makeup and Annie my hair. I honestly thought that this would've taken like an hour or something but it's actually taken three and it's almost eight o'clock which is when Peeta is picking me up

"Okay! Makeup and hair is done! Now Annie and I went shopping and picked out the cutest outfit!" Madge squeals

"Guys! You didn't have to spend money! I've got dresses!" I whine

"Yes but they don't speak 'first ever date' like they should" she replies, I go into the bathroom with the bag that has my outfit in it to change. After getting fully dressed without ruining my makeup and hair, I look at myself in my mirror I look at me surprised, wow, Madge and Annie really done well with my hair and make up because for once I feel like I'm at least pretty....

"Okay I'm coming out!" I call out and I open up the door then slowly walk out, Madge and Annie both look at each other with proud smiles

"Peeta's here, princess" my dad says walking in

"Katniss.... you look gorgeous" he compliments making me blush

"Is Peeta downstairs?" Annie asks and dad nods, they both run out leaving my dad and I alone

"I don't want you to be kept from your date any longer but I need to know that your sure that you want this?" He says and I smile

"I'm sure daddy, Peeta's a good guy. You don't have to worry" I chuckle

"Well shall we?" He replies motioning his arm to the door, we both walk out and at the bottom of the stairs is Peeta talking to my mom, he's wearing deep blue jeans, a white button up shirt and dark blue suspenders with his hair styled normally

"Behold, our marvellous creation" Madge proudly smiles

"Wow.... yo-I mean that look, actually—" I can't believe that Peeta Mellark is this speechless.... my parents be the normal embarrassing but loving parents and takes loads of photos

"Guys! It's just a first date. Not prom" I whine

"Oh alright! Go on get out of here!" My mom giggles

+++++

I smile as Peeta pulls into the bakery car park, he's brought me to his family bakery.... that's so adorable! I feel that this will be a great date already. When we get to the front door he opens it for me and I gasp when I walk in, there's a table lit up with candles and my favourite flower.... tulips, it's all set up like fall

"Peeta.... this is beautiful" I breath out speechless, Peeta walks over to the speaker and plugs his phone into it, when it starts it's different slow songs

"Let me guess you made a playlist just for tonight?" I smirk, he gives me a small smile

"I wanted tonight to be special for us" he replies sitting me down in one of the seats, he disappears into the kitchen and comes back with two plates, he sets the two plates down on the table and I it smells delicious

"Your parents made chicken parmigiana for us?" I ask

"Nope. I did, I made it all by myself" he replies as we start to eat our food

"You made it?!" I ask surprised

"Yeah, I cook and bake in my spare time. I got it from my dad, I'm hoping to take over this place after college" Peeta admits

"I think you'd suit a baker" I smile

"Thanks.... so let's get to know each other now" he says, throughout our entire dinner we throw questions back and forth, I've learnt so much about Peeta that I never knew before, he paints, never takes sugar in his tea, his favourite colour is sunset orange, he sleeps with the window open and so much more, soon the song that's so familiar, Have I Told You Lately by Van Morrison, my dad sang this to me whenever I couldn't get to bed when I was little....

"Come on, come dance" Peeta says standing and extends his hand out

"Peeta.... I don't know how to dance, I've only done it standing on my dad's feet when I was like five" I reply

"It's okay, I'll teach you" he smiles, I hesitantly take his hand so we can dance, he shows me where to put my hands and tells me how to move my feet

"See you've got the hang of it!" Peeta smiles

"Since when did you know how to dance?" I ask with a raised eye brow

"I use to dance around with my mom whenever I was bored" he replies

"Well, that done you good. You're a great dancer" I compliment, we look at each other and that's when we both lean in, once our lips touch I feel like I'm on a whole different planet and I can't believe how out of this world this feels

"My god I love kissing you" he groans against my lips

"You're cute" I smile and continue to kiss him

"How does chocolate mouse and hot chocolate sound for dessert?" He asks

"That sounds amazing" I smile

+++++

"I've had a really nice time Peeta" I sigh as he walks me to my front door

"I did too. It was really nice" he sighs with a bright smile

"You know you're a great guy, I don't understand how you didn't get like every girl to fall for you" I admit

"Most girls want to date someone with two real proper working legs" he says shrugging making me frown

"But you got me and that's something no one saw coming because of how I was" I giggle

"Having you is all I need and it's all I want" he replies making me fall more and more for him, before we say goodbye we kiss and we try to make it last while we can but knowing my family they're spying on us right now

"See you tomorrow?" He says

"Definitely" I smile

Everlarks first date! Who else is in love with Katniss's outfit!😍😍😍😍😍😍
