The ship's first destination had been a space port in the mid-rim where it would remain docked for a few days before moving on the the outer rim.
So Bly had taken the break in work to visit Aayla's quarters.
He knocked on her door and after a long silence she finally let him in. She moved to the side that he could stand into her relatively small room.
He didn't need to be a Jedi to sense the tension in the air. He closed the door behind him, knowing that the conversation thy were about to have want one to be over heard.
"Did you mean what you said?" He asked trying to keep his voice level.
Aayla didn't reply and instead waked to the other side of the room to lean against her storage unit to avoid his gaze. Although he couldn't see her face, Bly could see the tensetion in her shoulders.
"You are truly are one of the most remarkable beings I have ever met." Aayla told him, avoiding answering the questions directly like a typical Jedi.
"You know that's not what I meant." Bly pushed, walking over to her until he was standing directly behind her. She sighed, her shoulders sagging as though she had the wight of the galaxy on her shoulders. To see her look anything but in control was startling. A moment later, she slowly turned around until her sad brown eyes were looking directly into his.
"My entire life I've been told that attachments lead to the dark side. That giving into them will only lead to suffering. To betray my teachings that I live my life by is..."
Her voice trailed off and Bly suddenly felt guilty for pressing her to talk. It was hard enough for him to acknowledge his feelings for her, he couldn't image what she was going through.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you. We can go back to way things were. I-"
He was cut off when her lips crashed into his own. Whatever response Bly had been expecting, it certainly hadn't been that. But that didn't stop him from kissing back with equal ferociousiry.
Her arms wrapped around his head the same moment he wrapped his around her waist. They held each other as tight as they could, fighting to get closer to one another. Until they fell onto her bed and melted together into one beautiful entity.
To Hybrid301: Yes they did. Although I kinda resolved it in this chapter. I love reading your comments! Knowing that people actually like what you've made I'd the best experience ever! Xxxxxxxxx
To Akira Hayama: Yeah the Jedi high council are really freaking stupid! And yeah their forbidding of attachment kinda screwed everyone over. And yes I think Ki-Adi-Mundi had a load of wives, I think it was because there was so few of his people so they desperately needed to repopulate that the Jedi Council let him although I don't think this is canon anymore.
