Ahsokas POV
I stopped the speeder right outside of an old building. It didn't look any different from the last time I saw it. It's gray walls broken is some places and torn in others. I jumped out of the speeder and looked up to the room I was arriving at. The window was open and cracked. You could see the worn out red curtains flipping in the wind. I smiled at the sight of the place I loved so much.
I entered the front door and trudged up the staircase to the fifteenth floor. I went to door number 5128 and stopped. I stared at the door as if it would magically open. I lightly swiped my hand over the worn silver numbers that had been there so long. I gazed at the door handle waiting for it to turn and show me the person I wanted to see. It didn't. I slowly knocked on the door and waited.
Creaking slightly, the door opened and I froze with fear. His appearance was gorgeous! His hair was slightly messy in some areas but looked perfect. He had a loose white shirt that made him look like a pirate. His dark gray pants fit him perfectly and made him look like an angel. Those eyes... how could you not fall deeply into those eyes...He smirked when he found it was me and was poorly trying to suppress a laugh. OK, adorable moment gone. I don't even know what he's laughing at!
"What are you laughing at Niko?"
He tried even harder to stop but failed.
"Well... you kind of..."
He lost it. He laughed so hard tears came to his eyes. I hate when people laugh and they don't tell you why their laughing at they just laugh.
"What?!"
He stopped laughing as best as he could and pointed at my outfit. I looked down and found I was a very short, tight reveling black skirt and a matching tight black shirt that didn't reach my belly button and my shoes... five inch high heel boots then went to my knees. I guess I didn't check what outfit I was wearing when I left the house... Whoops?
My cheeks turned bright red and I looked down embarrassed.
"Hey I'm not complaining, it looks hot on you! We're you meaning to wear that?"
"No, definitely not."
"Why were you wearing it in the first place?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Uh.... No I don't think I do."
I giggled at his dorky joke.
"So why are you here... at my apartment... alone..."
I scoffed. I knew what he was thinking and it was NOT happening.
"Don't even go there flyby! I came because Anakin and I had a fight that's all."
"Huh, I can't believe you lasted this long before coming here!"
"Yeah sorry. A lot of... problems have occurred lately in the Senate and The Jedi Temple."
"Like?..."
"Like the war, Count Dooku, General Grevious, Anakin's dreams, Palpatine..."
Niko interrupted me before I could go any further.
"Wait. What about Palpatine?"
"The Jedi Council doesn't trust him... Force the whole Senate doesn't trust him!"
"Why not? Many speak very highly of him."
"Yes but a lot of Jedi think he's hiding something. A lot of Senators think that he is prolonging the war for unknown reasons and that he lusts for to much power."
He sighed.
"You actually listen to Senators? They don't know what their talking about. None of them do. Their liars who lust for power more then Palpatine does, if he even does want that much power."
"So am I a liar too? I think the same thing all of the Senators do. I think he HAS to much power now. He doesn't need more."
"How would you know?"
"Anakin... he tells me a lot of stories about him and I sort them all out and he just sounds like a power hungry man who will destroy anyone who gets in his way."
"Have you ever even met him before?"
"Plenty of times. He creeps me out. Just something about the way he walks and talks makes me want to curl into a corner and die sometimes."
"Well aren't you being a little over dramatic?"
"No."
That's all I gave him. A solid "No" and he shut up after that. We both sat on the couch and watched the cars from the window pass by. We listening to the screaming and yelling of people below us. The lower city of Coruscant was NOT a nice place. Not a nice place at all. It's no place for a child to live yet it's streets are thriving with children as young as three. I felt bad for those children. They didn't get a chance to chose what they wanted to do or be they just got put down here like trash. It wasn't fair... what was fair anymore?
"So... Anakins been having dreams?"
I looked at him and nodded then slowly looked back down.
"About what?"
"I don't know..."
"You don't know?"
"No. I just feel him thrashing around in his sleep. He screams and yells a lot too... He wakes up in a cold sweat then doesn't go back to sleep."
"Wow."
"I worry about him..."
I looked over to see Niko fidgeting with his fingers. I took his hand into mine and he looked up and me. I smiled and he smiled warmly back.
I can't remember that last time I had this nice of a moment. I rarely saw Anakin now that I was Jedi Night and not his Padawan. I miss these moments. Anakin and I had them all the time but every since you could tell Padme was pregnant he's always worried now. Not for me but for her. I started to get sleepy. I layed my head on Niko's shoulder and closed me eyes.
"Niko?"
"Yes Soka?"
"Do you still love me?"
There was silence for a bit then...
"Always my love..."
I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
