Hi everyone! I'm finally back with another sequel to my obi/padme series,
sorry its taken me so long but this one was a little hard to get off the
ground.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed Feel the Rush, I loved all your comments.
Summary: Its two months since the events of Wonderful Tonight.
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters and I make no money from this.
Ok I hope you enjoy.
How Do I Live?
The day had been nothing but meeting after meeting, with not even enough time between to take a lunch break.
She was running on empty and she knew she wouldn't be able to go on like this much longer.
Surely the day was going to end soon?
With that thought in mind, she lifted her eyes to focus on the clock high up on the far wall of her office, 17:30, just half an hour to go and then she could go home and slip into something more comfortable.
A lazy evening, relaxing with her handmaidens sounded perfect right now, they didn't get many such evenings and it would be a long time before that got another one.
So they'd have to make the most of it, a real girlie night in, where they could all sit around stuffing their faces while watching the latest holonet movie.
Yes that was exactly what she needed, short of a night in with her husband but she couldn't have that at the moment and there was no use going down that road, it would only make her depressed.
Instead she decided to go through the last few drabs of paper work that she had left to complete for the day.
........................................
........................................
Slowly but surely the time had ticked by and she was now in the comfort of her apartment in the heart of the Coruscant City skyline.
The main living area was long and spacious, split into two halves, one with a small dining table that she used when eating alone or with close friends, the other half contained a set of sofas and a holoscreen, along with a small fire place.
Only having been a fully fledged senator for two months and having to spend just under half of that sorting through things on Naboo, she hadn't had a lot of time to decorate the apartment according to her taste, although her handmaidens had tried their best to make it as homely as possible.
As usual, as soon as she'd got back to the apartment, the first thing she did was check to see if there had been any messages from Obi-Wan, to which the answer had been no.
She'd last heard from him just over a week ago, before he'd left on his latest mission but nothing since.
Changing in her bedroom, standing in front of her full length mirror staring at her reflection, her eyes caught the sight of her large bed and memories of two naked bodies slick with sweat, tangled together in the heights of passion, came to the forefront of her mind making her cheeks flush.
"Padme, dinners ready."
She turned, startled from her reverie, to see Sabe standing in the doorframe.
"You ok?"
Sabe was looking at her intently, searching for any clues as to her feelings.
"Yes I'm fine, you just made me jump, I'll just finish getting changed and then I'll be out to join you."
Sabe continued to watch her for a few more moments before finally deciding to leave her be.

Dinner had been perfect; Rabe had really excelled herself this time.
The combination of fluffy scrambled Nubian chicowl eggs, a delicacy on Naboo, with a wonderfully creamy butter sauce, mixed in with the refreshing salad was superb.
Rabe had said that she'd decided upon a light and healthy dinner so that they wouldn't feel so bad about eating so many snacks later on.
And indeed they had eaten a lot since dinner, they were just over halfway through their holonet movie and already they'd gotten through most of their snacks.
Padme really did love it when they were able to do things like this, just a simple evening where they were able to be the close friends that they were instead of senator and handmaidens.
It was times like this that she longed for a normal, easier life.
A life of a farmer's wife in the countryside of Naboo, and a house filled with children.
A life where she could spend many an afternoon gossiping with the other women of the community.
That life sounded so much more appealing right now.
But then she guessed that anything would be better than the life she had at the moment.
A life where she had to put everyone else's needs above hers, where she had to work long hours and have long winded meetings that consisted of debating with stuffy old men that thought she was far too young and too pretty to have any serious opinions.
A life where she had to live most of the year separated from her husband and not only that but she also had to pretend that they weren't married at all, that he meant nothing to her other than a mere acquaintance or at most, a friend.
Her trail of thought continued on its downward spiral and just when it was about to go as deep as to considering death she quickly shook her head in an attempt to shake the thoughts from her mind.
What was she doing?
Why was she willing making herself depressed?
She'd been having a great time and she was happy here with her friends, there was no need for the thoughts she'd just been having, they weren't productive and had no place being in her head while she was having fun.
From now on she wasn't going to let thoughts like that invade her head and she wasn't going to let anything else ruin her girlie night in.
.........................................
.........................................
There was blaster fire everywhere going in all directions.
So much for a peaceful mission, he thought to himself.
Why did this have to happen now?
He'd been here for almost a week and he'd finally managed to get the two provinces to agree upon a treaty and just as they were about to sign it, all hell had broke loose.
In his attempt to protect the leader of the Tebbec clan he'd become separated from Anakin.
From his position from behind a fallen desk he tried to scan the room for his Padawan but before he could find him he heard a voice call out to him.
"Hey! Jedi!"
Obi-Wan's heart stopped for a second as he saw that the rebels had Anakin captive, a blaster directed at his chest.
Fortunately the man with the blaster was a few feet away from Anakin as three other men held him still.
"Say goodbye to your Padawan, Jedi!"
"Master!"
Anakin's cry was drowned out by the blaster shot that flew through the air.
With the speed of his force enhanced reflexes, Obi-Wan was a blur as he ran towards Anakin, throwing himself in front of his apprentice and then all he could feel was excruciating pain as his world went black.
.........................................
.........................................
Her body leapt up to bring her sitting up straight, her lungs gasping for air as every nerve ending in her body flared with white hot pain.
It was so intense that she never heard herself screaming out his name.
"Obi-Wan!!!!"
tbc...
Ok don't hate me, there is more to come. I don't know when I'll have the next part ready, it could be a couple of days or it could be a week to a couple of weeks, sorry I can't be anymore specific. Reviews will help me work quicker, they always encourage me to get the next part up quickly when I know people are enjoying it. Ok thanks for reading. Sassy.
