On the run

Chapter 8

Katniss POV.
Peeta Mellark is in love with me. Eventhought he doesn't know me. How? Why would he even be in love with me? I'm not that pretty, or that clever, or that interesting. But he does love me, he thinks.
This statement makes me question, do I love him? No, or do I? I dont even know what love is. I dont even know him. But at the same time he makes me feel special, happy, different. There's this feeling I have that I cant explain when I'm near him. I'm not gonna lie, I do feel atracted by him, but that doesn't mean I love him, ir does it?
All this questiona make me feel dizzy.
I look at Peeta, he is right now sleeping. Half an hour ago he told me he loved me. The weird part is that he wasn't expecting an answer. He didn't want to know if I loved him back or not. All he did was confess his feelings towards me.
Now I feel me guilty for the way I reacted. I didn't do anything, I didn't say anything, I just kept looking at the road, basically I ignored him. Not that it was on purpose. It was just a lot to take in.
Tomorrow we will be in New York. I wonder how it will go.
After hours of driving I can see the silhuetes of the tall New York buildings só I decide to wake up Peeta.
"Peeta wake up, We're here! We're in New York" i scream excitedly.
Peeta just huffs and turns around, going back to sleep.
I Shake him "Peeta wake up. We arrived dont you see."
Peeta huffs yet again and says in his morning voice. "Just five more minutes, dad" What?
"Peeta it's Katniss"
That makes him wake up, finally.
"Morning" he says in his deep sleepy voice. It's kinda hot.
"Morning" I reply.
"You know, I had a dream" he said "that we were going to the Zoo. Are we going to the Zoo Katniss? Pleaaase" he looked like a litle kid. I cant say no to him.
"Sure" I shrug.
"YESSSSS" he screams. "We're going to the Zoo!!!"
"Is it something that awsomme? I mean, it's just a Zoo. Whats só special about it?" i ask him
"I dont know. I just never did this type of things as a child, you know. My parents didn't really like that type of stuff. They just worked at the bakery hours and hours."
"OK then"
"Do you want to switch?"
"Yeah sure, but first Lets stop for something to eat"
We end up stopping at a small dinner for pancakes.
"These pancakes are delicious" Peeta says with his mouth full.
"Cheez Peeta, close your mouth. you are a pig" I joke.
"Really, you think so?" then just to mock me he starts liecking is plate.
"You know, I had a teacher that was craizy for manners. If she was right here she'd be flipping out"
"And dont know whats her problem. Everyone lives piggs. Plus I'm already cleaning the plaite"
"Your disgusting"
"Thank you!"
Then I notice the waitress behind the counter looking at Peeta, basically drooling over him. I immediatly feel the urge to slap her. How dare she look at Peeta like that?
"Hey Peeta dont look but that waitress over there cant take her eyes off you"
"WHERE?" he screams looking around. Then he apita her and points at her "SHE?" he yells again with his mouth full of Apple syrup. The waitress immediatly looks away.
"Really Peeta? How smooth of you."
"She's kinda hot" he says.
"WHAT??" How could he say that? She's not THAT hot.
"Just kidding. She's nothing compared to you. why? You jealous?" He smirks
"No! Not ever."
"Yes you were" he insists, still wearing that smirk.
"You serious? Ok, a litle." Blush really hard at my statement.
Then he comes close to my face opens his mouth to say something but then he burps.
I wrinkle my nose and look at him with a disgusted expression. He starts laughing.
"How funny Peeta. You're such a gentleman."
"I know" he answers, still laughing.
"Lets just go" I say standing up. I take Peeta's wallet and pay the bill. We still have 150 bucks. More like Peeta still has 150 bucks. That's his money, but since We're like a team, it's boths money. Then I go back to the car with my trip buddy.
