Hey everyone. I actually finsished this earlier than I thought, so, here you go! Enjoy!

Padme POV
For a few weeks, I would meet up with Anakin. It was part of our deal. He would always pay me triple (still unknowingly) and bring me breakfast in the morning, I could get used to him being my regular. He was so nice, he drove me crazy! I was getting too attached to him.
Then again, he helped me. I started giving Mumtaz more of my pay, it wasn't like I was getting out anytime soon. After what Mal did to me, I decided it would be better not to cross her. It meant I had to sleep with less men, which in my case, was very nice.
One day, I found a letter on my pillow. I looked at Dorme, my roommate, who smiled at me.
"I found it in the pile when Mumtaz sent me to get the post. I grabbed it before she could see."
"Thanks. I owe you one."
"Forget it, life's to short for debts. You and I should know that better than anyone. " I smiled at her, and she nodded to envelope in my hand. "So, who is it? Secret admirer?"
"I doubt it. There's no name on it. Not even a return address. Weird."
"Totally weird. So, are you gonna just stand there till Mumtaz or Mal find out, or will you open the kriffing thing?!"
I rolled my eyes at the young girl. At 16, she was too young for this life. And too smart. And too enthusiastic about the littlest things.
I opened the letter to find it was from none other than Anakin.
Dear Padme,
First of all, don't ask how I know your address. Force sensitive, remember? Second of all, don't ask why I'm sending you a letter. I realized you probably wouldn't like me strolling into the brothel to talk to you. And I'm pretty sure you're pimp would not like it. And I don't know if you have a comlink. Anyways, I was supposed to go to this opera with my friend, but he ditched me and I stilol have the ticket. Would you like to come? It would be fun.
If you want to come, meet me at our usual spot at Little Leaf, tommorow at 6pm.
Anakin.
I saw Dorme reading over my shoulder, and I hid the letter as quick as I could. I was too slow, though. With one quick movement, she swiped the letter out my hands and finished reading. She smirked at me. I knew exactly what she was thinking.
"No, no no! Absoluetley not!"
"Oh, come on Padme. You have to go!"
"No, I don't."
"Um, yes, you do. Come on, don't you want to get away from here for a while?"
"Yes, but what if-"
"No buts about it. You are going to that opera."
I did really want to go. But, what if someone recognized me? What if Mumtaz found out? Oh, I would so be dead of Mumtaz found out!
"Oh and how would I go?" I said sarcastically.
"I can cover for you. I don't have any regulars. I'll take yours for the day, while you go meet up with your secret admirer." I rolled my eyes, then thought about what she said.
"No, you can't do that. You don't have regulars, let's keep it that way. Trust me, you really don't want to meet my regulars."
"I'm not a baby, Padme. I can handle it. Plus, you deserve this. You've been here longer than anyone." Then she just started staring at me. It was creepy.
"Fine! I'll go. Jeez, happy?"
"Very much." Then she strolled out of the room like nothing had happened.

Anakin POV
I stood inside the hot cantina. It was scalding. And I thought this place was hot at night. I was waiting for Padme. I hoped she would come. I couldn't get her out of my mind. It was crazy. I was getting to attached to her. It wasn't a good idea, but she was so...
"Hi."
I turned around, to see Padme standing behind me. She looked gorgeous. She was wearing a little brown dress, with little white beads sewn into it. She looked absolutely beautiful.
"Hey. So you came."
"Yeah, I did."
"Good. I hoped you would. Come on." I grabbed her hand and dragged her to the exit.
"You do know the opera house is that way, right?"
"We're not going there yet. There's something I want to show you, first."
It would be an unforgettable night.
Any guesses on where Anakin is taking her? Review and let me know! Also, please take the poll on my profile. It would be really helpful.
