Yes I'm alive and so isthis fic ;)
I was huffing as sweat dripped down my neck.
"I'm. Done."
Xach lifted an eyebrow and smirked.
"Really? I'm not even close to done yet."
He lifted his arms up and threw his shirt to the ground.
My eyes stared at his newly exposed skin.
I didn't notice my breathing was uneven until he said something.
"What's the matter with you?"
I shook my head and rubbed my face.
"Nothing."
We were at the beach and the sun was barely setting on the calm waves.
I bit my lip, holding back a smile.
"It's just hot."
I took off my shirt and pants. My ponytail whipped on my back.
"Much better. Okay let's go."
I looked over at him and he still had the same expression. I guess I have no sex appeal.
Back to Ky.
"Pick up your lightsaber."
I did so.
He got behind me and angled my arms and legs. The feelings of his hands running down my arms and his chest on my back gave me chills.
He picked up his saber and ignited it and so did I.
"Left and down. Now up. No up. Okay go right. Spin and down."
He nodded when I looked up at him.
"Let's go faster."
He whispered that like a secret, making my heart beat faster.
I heard his words in my head as I did move faster.
Once I spun and hit down, his back was on the sand.
I stood over him and turned off my saber.
I began walking away but he caught my legs and I fell back.
"Hey!"
Xach was laughing so hard he held his stomach.
"You're an idiot!" I said through a smile.
We both sat up laughing.
"You're too easy to tease."
His word choices sucked.
I looked away and played with the white sand.
"What's wrong?"
I turned my body to the water, my legs under me. I felt his hand run up and down my back.
I looked over at him and there was worry and warmth in his eyes.
I tried to look away but he was so mesmerizing.
I couldn't believe how much I wanted him. After all these years, and I can't see myself without him. I want to tell him but I don't want to be rejected. Besides, why now? Why is it him so suddenly?
My mouth spoke faster than my mind.
"Xach."
His forehead touched on mine. I felt his fingertips drag up my arm. Force, I was reacting to him.
"Hm?"
He moved his face and his cheek brushed against mine. That made it harder to speak. My back arched, pushing myself closer to him.
"I want you to know that I-"
"Hey you guys!"
I pushed him away before standing.
"Ky."
I tucked a stray hair behind my ear in embarrassment. What did he see?
My grandmother would report on new riots either on the same planet or a different one. I didn't think the First Order's forces would be strong enough to handle this much chaos.
Ky had to have a constant eye on him. He wasn't allowed to leave this planet.
I was told Luke was in hiding since my entire family was on high rate of getting killed.
I dropped my face into my hands. A hand touched my shoulder.
I looked over. My mom smiled down at me. I grabbed her hand on my shoulder and sighed.
"Was it like this when you were my age mom?"
"No. It was your father that was the problem. That was an easy fix."
"I'm standing right here."
"And you're my favorite problem."
Ky, Xach, and I were just watching them play in confusion. Maybe even disgust.
My mother grabbed my dad's hand. "Padmé, watch Ky."
Xach stood up. "What about me?"
"Just stay here until that meeting."
They both left but I knew Xach wouldn't leave me alone with Ky.
Nothing but pure silence.
Ky stood up and walked over to me. I kept looking down. "Don't-"
"Don't fool yourself. You know I couldn't do anything."
His voice was so deep and hot on my ear. I felt his lips brushing against the top of my ear. I should push him away.
"We should just leave like we did before."
I felt his lips kiss my neck and linger. My body recoiled.
I pushed my chair as I turned to face him. My chest was against his.
I knew if I looked at him, he would kiss me.
Instead, I backed away, storming out.
Where was I going? He'd only be there when I came back. I felt a Force energy and turned around.
Xach was staring at me, his eyes bright.
His face was soft as he looked down.
"You feel something for him."
I shook my head. "Why does it always come to that? It's not like you care."
"I do actually." His voice was raised but he wasn't angry. His words took a second to get through my head.
