The Naboo priest walked away from the kissing couple, not knowing that it was a forbidden marriage. He was just doing his job.
Padmé was finally able to enjoy a long, passionate kiss with the man she loved... but it was a big risk marrying a jedi!
' It doesn't matter now' Padmé thought. ' We both told each other the truth. We thought we would die after that anyway.'
After a few seconds, Padmé gently pulled away from Anakin's tender lips... she wanted to remain lost in his presence forever, but she didn't want to get too intimate with him, she didn't want them to be discovered.
' That's it, we're husband and wife.. together forever. Just as I pictured it when I was a boy! ' thought Anakin . He was smiling as he and Padmé were touching foreheads.
Padmé turned to the balustrade, looking out on to the lake. Anakin turned too, and placed his hand on her back.
" Now all we need to do is keep it a secret. " said Anakin softly. Padmé remembered that time when Anakin first expressed his love to her, asking her if they could try.
She nodded and turned to him. He was already staring at her, his eyes were locked on Padmé. Nothing else would catch his gaze.
For nothing was more beautiful to him! " We can't be to intimate, or Obi-Wan and the council could suspect something. Even by the way we look at each other. " she said firmly.
Anakin gave a deep sigh, but he had to agree. He knew what would happen if the council found out he was married.
He still wanted to be a jedi, but he still wanted to be with Padmé. His whole life would be worthless without her!
The longer he fixed his eyes on Padmé, the closer he leant to her lips. She thought about stepping back, but she knew she had pulled away too many times.
Just as their lips brushed against each others... Artoo made a loud whirring and beeping sound. Padmé felt a cold bit of metal touch her arm, it was 3PO.
The shiny robot waited till she looked at him." Pardon me Miss Padmé. " he began. " Master Obi-Wan wishes Master Anakin contact him immediately! "
