Hello! I know last chapter was really short and I apologize. The on coming chapters will probably be short until I reach certain key moments in the plot which will require longer chapters. I will make an attempt to lengthen the chapters to the best of my ability, but I can't guarantee anything.
"Ah yes. Lopa. It's right here. You reserved the Honey Moon sweet." The protocol droid stated from behind a desk as he handed Lux the key to the room.
They had arrived at Raxus just moments ago after a long flight. Everything seemed to go wrong. First a man and woman with 5 month old triplets couldn't keep their kids from crying; and when one would finally stop, the screaming from the others would cause him to begin again. Secondly, the man next to them didn't do so well when it came to flying and had his face buried inside a sickness bag the whole trip. The smell and sound of it happening once was enough to ruin the entire flight, but this guy had to of gotten sick at least a quarter a million times! Third thing to happen was the emergency procedure they had to undergo due to a bunch of irritating kids who thought it would be funny to throw smoke bombs into the ventilation shafts causing the captain and crew to believe there was a fire somewhere on board. Long story short? It had been a very, VERY long flight.
"Thank you." Lux nodded attempting to be as polite as possible after their nerve murdering trip.
"You're room is on floor 5."
Ahsoka's POV
Lux and I walked to the elevator and made our ascent to the 5th floor. I was thoroughly impressed with the hotel so far. The exterior walls consisted of some of the finest works of sculptural art that I had ever seen. Statues of key figures in Separatist history lined the marble stairs leading to the large front doors. As for the lobby, it was a large, open room. The walls were covered with murals of famous battles and paintings of more Separatist leaders from throughout history.
In the center of the room was a large grand stair way made of wood and marble equipped with a golden hand rail. The stair way consisted of two columns with a natural looking water fountain/fall placed neatly in between the two columns. But the thing that stood out to me most was the amount of nature present in the room. Plants were everywhere. Small trees and shrubs lined the walls and walk ways leading to different ares of the building; but what caught me by surprise was the fact that nearly every tree or bush bared a different kind of fruit. The lobby was like a indoor garden.
Looking up I could see a glass ceiling working to provide natural sun light for the vegetation present in the Hotel. I also noticed multiple balconies built for special rooms that over looked the garden. Hopefully our room has a balcony. It'd be nice to take a break from our investigating and over look the beauty of nature. Over all this was a very nice hotel.
The Council might not be as tasteless as I had first thought.
The elevator dinged and the door slid open. The halls were long and, just like the rest of the hotel, decorated with the most extravagant works of art to be found. Golden lamps held mounted to the long walls with paintings placed commonly in between.
"Wow. For once The Council spared no expense. This place is nice!" I exclaimed.
Lux chuckled as he responded,"I must say, I am impressed with their choice of hotel."
I lightly laughed in return. Everything was nice so far, but what kind of surprises might this Honey Moon sweet hold? The thought of what we might find caused me to blush. Thankfully Lux didn't notice. Most anything too inappropriate would be found in the drawers I would assume.
Should I make Lux wait outside while I do a sweep of the room?
The thought of what we might find along with the thought of Lux seeing what all we might find caused me to blush once again.
Is he thinking anything similar?
Lux's POV
Ahsoka's being really quiet. I wonder what her deal is? Is something wrong?
I made several glances at her and it never failed that she was staring aimlessly at the floor every time. What could be the problem? Did someone say something to her while I checked us in? Is she feeling sick? Have I done something?
*gasp* Did she smell my fart on the elevator?!
Oh crud! I didn't think it'd have a smell! It was just a small, easy one!
"Hey, um.. Lux?"
Oh God, she's about to confront me about it.
"Yeah?" I tried to play it cool.
"Well, um.." She stuttered heavily.
She knows. She knows.
"- Promise that whatever we find in there won't make things awkward?" She spat out quickly.
"What are you talking about? How would breaking in a Separatist Arms Facility and destroying a biochemical weapon make things awkward?" I said oblivious to what she was getting at.
"No, you goof, not in the arms facility! In the Honey Moon sweet.." She drifted.
I stared at her with a confused expression before I finally caught on to what she was referring to. We were now standing outside the room about to enter for the first time.
"Oh yeah!" I finally assured her,"I promise. Nothing awkward."
At that she breathed a sigh of relief.
Ahsoka's POV
"Good. Thank you." I replied, my anxiety easing ever so slightly.
"Shall we?" He asked as he motioned his hand to the door.
"I'm ready as I'll ever be." I answered preparing myself for what was in store.
"Alright. Here we go."
Lux pulled the key card out of his pocket and slid it into the slot on the door. The room, at first appeared dark, until literally a second after the door slid open a ring of candles ignited around the heart shaped bed that was covered in rose petals.
I immediately blushed at the setting before me.
"Woah. That's not safe." Lux chimed pointing to the lit candles around the base of the bed,"What are they trying to do? Send this place a blaze?"
"Oh my gosh.." I said under my breath as I slapped a hand over my face in disbelief and embarrassment.
We made our way in slowly. I quickly blew out the candles and raked all the rose petals off the bed. Taking my bag and setting it on the bed I claimed the left side as mine.
"Wow. These are pretty good!" I heard Lux say with what sounded like a full mouth.
I blushed heavily when I saw what he was eating. Standing next to an open drawer stood Lux who was chowing down on a pair of edible cherry flavored women's panties.
"Here, you want some?" He offered holding out the pair of food under garments.
"LUX! I THOUGHT WE AGREED NOTHING AWKWARD!" I yelled as I ripped them from his hand.
"It's not awkward? I'm hungry and this is food." Lux stated plainly.
"TO ME IT'S AWKWARD!" I shouted again, the blush plainly visible.
"Gee. Sorry. I can't control when I'm hungry."
"No, but you can control what you eat."
"Ok. Ok. Fine. They taste really good though." He grumbled.
This is going to be a long trip.
Ok. This was a good little bit longer than last chapter. As you may have noticed I attempted doing something different. What did you think about it? I've never written anything from a characters POV. Was it ok? Should I continue doing it or go back to the original way of writing? I personally kind of like it because you can get a lot more feel for the situation that you couldn't get other wise, but I'm only the writer. You all are the readers.
Please leave a review and let me know how the chapter was as well as feed back on this new way of writing.
