Chapter 2

Two hours later in a small rowboat, Anakin was rowing Padme out to a small island that was in the middle of the lake.

" Ani do you remember me telling you that I used to swim all the way out here?"

" Yeah, you and your friends used swim out here on your summer breaks from school."

" Yeah, but what I didn't tell you was half the time it was a race as to see who could swim out here the fastest, and whoever won, would get a free day at the small."

" Really, what would you get at the spa?" Anakin asked as he stopped rowing and was trying to visional what goes on at the spa.

" Well first of all there was four us, and we would put some money into a pot for the spa treatments, so when we come out here on our breaks we would have the race." Padme said as she was remembering some of the great times that her and her friends spent up here at the lake house.

" Do I know some of your friends that you used to hang out with?"

" Yes you do know one, and she was one of my handmaidens, she is Sabe."

" Really, I like Sabe she is a very nice person, so what went on with these races?" Anakin asked as he remembered Padme's handmaiden.

" Yes she is and I miss her too, but when I'm here from breaks of the senate I make sure that I visit her, well anyway back to the races, not only does the winner get the spa day but she would get all of her money back that she put into the pot for the month, and whatever was left over from the cost of the spa."

" So have you won any of the races?"

" Yes I have won a couple of the races."

" Really, I would have thought that you would have won more?" he said.

" Well I'm sorry to say that I didn't, but the second place person did get a manicure at the spa." Padme said as the boat hit the sand on the shore.

" Well here we are My Lady." Anakin said putting the paddles into the boat before standing up.

He jumped out of the boat and landing in the soft sand, before holding out his right hand and help steady Padme as she stood up in the boat.

Anakin then reached up, grabbed a hold of Padme, lifted her out of the boat, and put her gently down on the sand in front of him.

" Thank you, dear sir." Padme said

" You're so very welcome." He said leaning his head down and giving her a light and tender kiss.

" I love you Anakin Skywalker." Padme said as she stood up on her tippy toes and kissed him again.

" I love you too Padme Skywalker." Anakin said as he pulled her a little closer and began kissing her with a little more passion.

" Man I really don't like sand." Anakin said as he pulled away from Padme.

" I really don't like it if it's wet. There is a lagoon here that the sand is so soft that you could fall asleep on it and believe me I have done that a few times too." Padme said as she watched Anakin lift the boat with the Force and lay it down on the beach.

" Really so where is the place?" Anakin said with a mischeouves grin on his face.

" It's in the middle of the island come on let me show you where it is." Padme grabbed a hold of Anakin's hand and lead him towards the woods.

" Wow this place is beautiful." Anakin said as they came into the clearing.

" Yeah it is, this is one of the places I like to go when I want to be alone."

" I could get lost here myself, I can feel the peace here." Anakin said.

" Welcome to my peaceful world, I just love it here I wish I could build a small house right next to the pond." Padme said.

" Maybe one day we could do just that." Anakin said as Padme pulled them over to a cluster of rocks and she sat down.

Anakin stood in front of the and they just stared into each other's eyes.

" I love you Padme." Anakin put his arms around her and pulled her closer to him.

" I love you too Annie." Padme wrapped her arms around him.

" I want to make love to you right here and right now." Anakin said before leaning forward and began kissing Padme.

Padme reached down and stared to lift Anakin's shirt up so that way she could feel his bare skin against her hands as she ran them up and down his chest.

Anakin stopped kissing Padme and pulled away from her just long enough to help her take off his shirt.

Padme grabbed a hold of his hand and pulled him to a place on the said and started taking off her cloak. He watched her laid the cloak down on the soft sand.

Anakin then reached in front of him and started unbutton Padme's shirt and sliding off her as he began kissing her again.

Once they were completely undressed, Anakin laid down on the cloak and pulled Padme down beside him. Once Padme was down next to Anakin, she pulled him closer and started kissing him.
