May the truth reveal itself
Anakin had left early that morning. Padme slept till noon because her husband wanted her every night for the last two weeks. She was absolutely exhausted. Sadly Obi had left with Anakin to fight in the war. It had been two months since he dined with her and . She had noly seen him once when he came by the apartment to pick up Ani who had told Obi-Wan that he was going to have dinner with Padme and that he would stay the night. She had just woken up and looked horrible, Obi-Wan saw her, smiled and waved. She felt very embarraced but also melted in happiness that Obi had noticed her, and also forgot to wave back. Like a teenager, she sat in the bathroom for a hour cursing for making herself look so foolish.
That day she had a day off an she thought to spend it properly. She took 3PO and flew home to Naboo. She took a walk near the palace and visited her family. Padme was returning to the palace after having lunch with them, when she noticed someone very familiar not far away, it was Obi-Wan. She thought they were fighting in the Yavin system. She told the coachman to stop and ran out of the veichicle to him. Behind him she said:
„Hello, Obi-Wan. What brings you here, on Naboo?"
Obi-Wan, who was looking for somehing in the crowd, jumped hearing her voice. He turned around and looked who was speaking to him.
„Padme! How nice to see you." He said with a smile, „I just wished you were here."
Apparently Obi-Wan had followed a character from the Trade Federation to Naboo and lost him. With the help of Padme and her connections in Naboo they found fugitive quickly. He told them very important information about the separatists.
Few hours later Padme invited obi to have supper with her at her secret retreat in the Lake Country. Obi-Wan was happy to go and they go there at sunset. The maids prepared a little dinner for them and they had it on the balcony. It was warm outside and very beautiful. Padme rembered her wedding and smiled. She was happy to share the Nabooian sunset with the man she loved, with the men she loved. She could not decide if she loved Ani or Obi. Right now the memory of Anakin holding her hand and kissing her gently made her calm and happy. She started drifting away in thought and Obi-Wan who was sitting across the little round table started looking at her with a smirk. She was looking into the setting sun with a little smile on her face and thinking about the good times spent on Naboo. The orange light made Padme look very beautiful and Obi couldn´t take his eyes off her. They had just been staring there, each at their own direction, for some time when Padme jolted and also made Obi-Wan flinch. Padme realised what had happened and started laughing, she looked at Obi-Wan who was still watching her and stopped laughing. She had noot noticed the maids had brought them their supper and rose to get the food from the tray.
„So, how long is your vacation?" Obi-Wan asked to break the silence.
„I have to go back tomorrow morning, and you, how can you be here right now and noot fight in the war?"
„They don´t know how fast I found the fugitive."
„So youre skipping duties."
„In a way, yes."
„Is that a Jedi thing to do," Padme teased.
„Well…if you won´t tell, I wont." Obi replied.
They both smiled.
The Sun went down and night fell. They had a great time talking about things. Padme felt very comfortable with Obi-Wan and had a few drinks with him. She had nevers seen him so free and also so tipsy. He fouht it but lost and got quite drunk. The Sun was about t orise soon so they decided to run from it and get some sleep before it gets too light.
Padme took Obi to one of the guestrooms to show him where to sleep. She was standing next to the bed to make sure there are sheets when Obi stood behind her. She felt his calm and deep breath on her neck. She froze, she did noot know what to do, she did noot know what Obi was going to do.
Obi took her hand in his and put his other hand on her hip. He stepped closer and put his chin on her sholder. He slowly started to move his hands and kiss her bare sholders and neck gently. Padme moved her head in pleasure and couldn´t push him away. He pulled her against him and started to move his hands more, nearly touching her breast.
Wat are you doing, Padme. You already married a Jedi and now you´re going to fool around with a nother. Besides hes drunk, he does noot know what hes doing. You are a former queen and a senator of a planet. You are noot allowed to get into things like these. But i feels so good. No!
„No!" Padme said quetly and tore herself away from his arms. „You don´t know what you´re doing:"
„Oh yes I do. Come on, what about that kiss you gave me after thet dinner we had."
„I…I…I didn´t mean it. I was saying goodbye…"
„Oh, cut the bullocks, I know you have feelings for me."
„That does not mean i should Act on them."
They had started yelling.
„Well you have acted on them once…"
„What? What are you talking about?"
„Don´t play dumb, about Anakin, I know you are together."
„How do you know."
„It´s obvoious that you are not just friends…"
„And if I am with him why should I betray him with you?" Padme was furious that Obi treating her like that.
„Because you love me, not him!" Obi-Wan blurted out.
The shouting had woken up the help. Few maids were standing on the doorway, in shock. Padme gathered herself, "You must not talk about things you know nothing about." She made her emotionless senator-face and walked out of the room.
Obi sat on the bed and put his head in his hands. The maids asked he wanted something before bed and went back to bed, whispering amongst.
Padme slept little that night. She rolled in her bed thinking about things said. She thought if Obi-Wan had searched her feelings and answered the question she had had for some time now. Who does she really love? Does she actually love anyone at all? She started regretting her marriage, that maybe they were taking things too fast. Ani can´t tell her things, he has secrets. When I´m with him I want Obi-Wan. Its not fair to him and if he finds about about these feelings for another man, I don´t know what he´ll do. Obi clearly showed he was interested in me, but was it the drink. What the heck did the maids bring us, I have to have a word with Coja about this. They have been so neglectful for their duties…And with that string of thought Padme fell asleep.
I will improve them soon. Been busy lately so I wrote very briefly. Hope you like it. And the first to change is chapter 1. It is too graphic, so the rating will go to T too.
