Chapter 1: ➶ My old rugged hunting books clack against the ground as Peeta and I walk towards the bakery, hand in hand. Frostbite starts to settle in on my nose and fingertips from the freezing weather here in 12, so I go to grab Peeta's coat, and cling to it for dear life. Once we reach our destination, we walk up the steps to the Mellark Bakery, and swing the door open, making the bell ring above. I'm greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Mellark, with hugs, and kisses on the cheek. I look over at Peeta to see him smiling at all the freshly baked cakes, cookies, pastries, and bread. Oh yes, the bread. He eyes it like a scientist, making sure everything is in check. I giggle, and he glances over at me. "Yes, Katniss?" "Oh nothing..." While we pass the counter of all the sweets and goodies, Peeta and I take off our coats, and hang them on the coatrack. We head towards the kitchen in the back of the bakery, to bake his favorite, Bread. While washing my hands to prepare for the baking, Peeta takes the yeast, flour, and water out of the cabinet. −❁− Once Peeta has the dough ready, him and I start kneading. I'm more of a hunter, so I'm kinda new to this whole baking thing. I pound my fists on the dough in frustration, knowing that I'm not cut out for this type of project. Luckily, Peeta stops from cleaning up some scraps and eyes me. He walks over to me, smirking. I stop pounding as he places his hands over mine on the dough, as he guides my fingers while kneading. I grin, and give him a peck on the check. "Thanks," I say. "Your welcome." After those last few words, he gives me a light kiss on the neck, and helps me continue to finish kneading this dough. I think to myself, realizing I'll always have him by my side. ➶
