'' Fine, have it your way Ahsoka. I am not that bad guy in all of this. He paused for a moment. I am guessing that was from waiting for Ahsoka's reaction but he must of realized he was not going to get a response so he simply said '' Sleep well '' with his mocking tone he uses far too often for my liking.
The man left the room and I heard the door click shut behind him. After a minute I heard my Ahsoka sigh with fustration. I quietly left the room and walked into the room which held my beautiful Soka, on the sofa, her face in her hands and sobbing quietly. I quickly rushed over to her and sat next to her, pulling her into a loving embrace. I pulled her body against mine. I craddled her and murmered soothing words against her lekku.
''Shhhh'' I whispered. ''Everything is okay, Love.'' I gently lifted her face so it was facing mine.
''Are you okay sweetheart? '' I asked quietly.
She tried to pull a brave face on but I saw straight through it and she realized that.
'' No, not really. Things are difficult at the moment Ani. But I am sure they will be better. ''
'' Who was at the door?'' I asked with a tiny feeling of dread. For all I know he could be an ex boyfriend trying to get her back.
'' An old friend I met when we were on leave. '' She replied with a gentle tone.
Relief flooded through me as I drew her closer and kissed the top of her lekku. As we both sat on the sofa I felt Ahsoka slowly drift asleep. I kissed her one last time on her forehead affectionately before I driffted slowly asleep
Ahsoka Tano POV:
I felt Anakin slip back into sleep. I sighed with fustration, I hated keeping secrets from him. The truth was that I had met Daniel a month ago on Christophsis, I was strolling down a beach to take my mind off the nightmares but it did not work. I accidentally bumped into him and apologized but he laughed. We talked for a bit as he seemed very stubborn, wanting to walk me to where-ever I was going. He protectiveness shone, He loved me and I must admit that I did love him back but I was just not sure if it was the same type of love I shared with Anakin. But what I wasn't prepared for was Daniel himself, he was kind and considerate and that warmed me but I realized that we would never see each other again. Oh, how wrong I was. As my life slowly progressed throughout the month, I kept seeing Daniel and there were times where we were in life threating situations. When Daniel's life was threatened, the dread I felt was genuine. I formed a close bond with Daniel but I preferred to keep the bond I had with Daniel away from Anakin for several reasons.
Anakin turned on his side and I smiled knowing that he was safe, safe from what was happening in my life, safe from harm, safe from all the secrets. Safe from what was going to unravel...
