Secrets Of Love.
The gentle wind carried the sweet scent of warm, spring air towards Padme Amidala who sat peacefully in her quarters. Already, the long trees were thick with bloom, and a sense of calmness seemed to hang in the room's atmosphere.
She studied the papers below her with intense concentration. Her eyes never leaving it.
"Senator?" A pattern of knocks came to the door, and Padme's brow furrowed, I'm not expecting visitors.
"Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker is here to see you"
Ah I see…
"Yes, come in" She stood up and brushed her indigo dress, which was swirled with gold. "Jedi! What a pleasant surprise" her hands were clutched together by her stomach, and her sea-foam blue coloured eyes twinkled with delight.
"Senator I have news from the republic…to be dealt in private" He coughed gently, gesturing to Echo. "Yes sir" He nodded his head briefly before heading outside, the door shut smoothly behind him. Leaving the room in silence.
The senator walked over to the long stretch of blue furniture, the jedi realized yet again, how elegantly her step was, Padme was slight, with a slim neck and long, slender fingers. She sat, followed by Anakin, who stretched himself onto it.
"So, what is this news?" the brunette said gravely, studying her lovers face with interest and curiosity. The small scar by his eye was one of many of his battle scars; her eyes flickered towards it, then back to his deep, wise face.
The Jedi uttered a low chuckle, "This is…" he said with an equal amount of authority, and humour. He leant forward and kissed her, his hand cradling the back of her head, while her arms were now looped around his neck. The kiss was slow and passionate, and they broke apart. Padme smiled, her heart fluttering.
Suddenly shouts were being yelled from outside, orders being given. Echo burst into the room, flanked by Lucky and Rex. "Sir, there's been a breach in the west wing, your orders sir?" Rex asked.
Anakin coughed to clear his throat, "All right men, go down there and see what's wrong. I'll protect Senator Amidala" There was a small pause, and Rex nodded his head. "You heard the general move!"
They burst out from the room to be joined by some others. Lucky shouted back at the general. "Sir, are you sure you can guard the quarters by yourself?"
Anakin turned back to them, "Yes! Go!" A hint of frustration entered his voice, as soon as the door closed, Padme shuddered. "Are you sure everything's fine?"
Anakin smirked "A little training practise won't hurt anyone!" he grinned, happily, moving closer to the Senator, who was beginning to understand. He leant in again to kiss her and everything melted away.
OoOooOOooOo
Ashoka Tano ran through the sunlit streaked corridors, she ran into Rex. Her sparkling eyes blazing "Rex where is Master Skywalker? Master Obi-wan needs to talk to him urgently in the briefing room" She gasped, it was obvious that the Padawan had run the whole way, eager to make sure that nothing got messed up because of her. Rex pointed down further along the corridor.
"He's guarding the Senator sir, the furthest room on the left…I'm sorry sir…I need to join the other clones" She sighed. Normally any other time Rex would have accompanied the Padawan.
But he was needed at the wing to keep the men in check, he was sure the youngling was able to deliver a message on her own.
He ran off, leaving the Padawan staring at the floor, breathing heavily.
It had to be the furthest door, it had to be the furthest door…
She mentally noted.
She finally got to the room, her hands on her knees, begging her breathing to slow down. She didn't want the senator or her master to see her In such a state. She took a few deep breaths, after calming down. She opened the door with her hand. She gasped, Padme and Anakin were kissing heavily as they somehow managed to stand. She took a sharp intake of breath, which awakened a tender pain in her ribs from running so fast. She watched the pair trembling. Surely he would have noticed me by now.
She thought hopefully, she wanted it to end right now…but it didn't. They were both lost in the passionate kiss, not able to notice her. It was like she was watching a movie, it was unreal, and Anakin soon felt the waves of confusion and anxiety…it was close by, He broke apart from the kiss, stunned to see his little Padawan staring at them. Padme was the first to speak. Her tone was stunned and as anxious as the youngling looking at them. "A-Ashoka" she stuttered, not being able to string a sentence together. The togruto shook her head softly, she hadn't blinked In all the time she had watched them. She took a step back, and another, and another.
"Ashoka wait!" Anakin called, advancing towards her, he tried with all of his might to bring the girl further away from the door, and closer to him and Padme with the force. He'd be able to talk to her…explain to her…somehow…
With a flash Anakin had shut the door. But Ashoka was ready…
