Chapter 6

Rey awoke that morning later than usual. Very later, in fact about an hour and a half later. Where's Kylo? He should've woken me up by now. We have training to do.

Rey hopped into the shower, hoping to get a quick one in before Kylo came to get her. Well, if Kylo ever came to get her. While washing herself, she thought about the night before with Hux. She looked down at her arm, seeing the bruises that formed overnight in the shape of his fingers. No wonder Kylo didn't like him. He disgusted her. The only words he said to her were "You'll never amount to anything, desert rat," before he threw her in her room and shut the door. She hated him.

So she wouldn't ruin her entire morning thinking about that evil ginger, she turned the water off and tried to fill her mind with thoughts of her training. She got dressed, did her hair, and walked out of the bathroom, noticing a tray full of food sitting on her desk. She lowered herself into the chair, but her eyes didn't fall on the delicious smelling food. They were focused on the little white note card placed perfectly beside her glass of bantha milk.

"We will be leaving today to go to a different base. I've already gotten the droids to pack you extra clothes and they're already on the ship. I'll come by your room at noon to get you." -Kylo

Well, it was short and simple. A different base? Where could they possibly be going? They had training to do. Since Rey was already showered and dressed, she went over to her bookshelf, took out a book, and flopped down on her bed to begin reading. It was hard to focus, for her thoughts kept drifting to Kylo. She really didn't understand him. He shut her up in this room, only letting her leave if she was accompanied by him, yet he tried to kiss her. She also didn't understand her feelings for him. When he leaned down, she actually wanted him to kiss her. Am I crazy? She set the book back on the shelf since she wasn't reading it anyway, and decided to meditate to try to take her mind off of him.

It was five minutes until noon when Kylo approached the doors to Rey's room. He didn't know how she was going to react, and he was nervous. He didn't give her much information, so she was probably filled with questions that he didn't have time to answer.

As he walked through the doors, he found Rey sitting on the floor meditating. Behind his mask, he smiled. He'd been smiling a lot more lately since her arrival. The last time he saw her was when they almost kissed, and his smile grew wider just thinking about it. He sat down on the bed, trying not to disturb her, but miserably failed at this when his boot kicked the metal bedside table, making a loud bang. Rey jumped in surprise and craned her neck so she could see him, frowning a little when she saw his mask.

With eyebrows raised, she said, "Is it noon already?"

Kylo nodded his head. "We should leave soon. Are you ready?" Rey nodded her head and got up off of the floor. "Am I allowed to ask where we're going?" She said, with a hint of a smile.

"Naboo" was all he said. She'd heard about it, but didn't really know what the planet was like. Was it another desert like Jakku? Or was it more like Takodana? She really hoped it was the latter of the two.

Rey followed Kylo out of her room and to the hangar bay, where a ship awaited them. They climbed up the ramp side by side. Kylo sat in the pilot seat, taking off his helmet, and Rey sat in the co-pilot seat. He looked at her, with a mix of confusion and amusement on his face. "What? I've been flying my whole life," Rey said turning back to the controls. "I know" was all he said.

When Rey was about to hit the button to close the doors to the ship, Kylo put his gloved hand over hers. She looked him in the eyes, with unspoken questions on her face. "I forgot to mention that Hux is coming along," he said, breaking eye contact and looking at the controls. Rey bit her lip in order to keep herself from asking him why that vile man was coming. He looked back up at her then. "I'm sorry that-"

"I'm ready to leave," said the slimy voice from behind them. Kylo rolled his eyes and Rey looked down. He could sense that something was wrong with her, which most likely had something to do with what happened the night before with Hux. He made a mental note to ask her about it later.

Hux walked away from them to sit in the main area of the ship. Kylo felt Rey instantly relax. He better not have laid a hand on her or so help me, Kylo thought. He glanced at her one more time before they took off to Naboo.

Rey and Kylo landed the ship in the hangar. From what Rey could tell, the planet was filled with the color green, and she was ecstatic. Kylo knew she would love it. They exited the ship to be greeted by a crowd of people swarming around them. Rey could feel the fear radiating off of them, like they were being forced to stand around the ship and cheer for Kylo and Hux. When she looked into the peoples' eyes, they were all saddened for her. They wouldn't make eye contact with the two men. This was odd. She knew these two men that she had traveled with were bad, but bad enough that people would cower away from them by just one glance in their direction? Maybe Hux, but surely not Kylo. If only they saw the side that he shows her.

The three met up with a group of people that Rey had no clue who they were. Most of them were old with grey and white hair. There was only a couple that were young, but not as young as her. She could only imagine that they were in charge of the base. There were a few words exchanged, and then the three followed one of the young ones to their rooms. Hux's room was first, so he quickly departed from the group.

The man spoke then with a confused look on his face, "Sir, are we correct that you requested a room for the prisoner?"

Kylo's mask turned to the man and Rey could feel the anger radiating off of him. He brought a hand up and began to Force choke the man. Rey had never been taught this and she was glad, for the man was turning purple quite fast and it made her stomach hurt. Rey turned away, unable to watch anymore. She heard his body hit the floor, and that was when she turned back around. "She is not a prisoner. She will get her own room and she will receive the best service this base has to offer. Understood?" Kylo's harsh mechanic voice rang out. "Yes sir," the man croaked.

Rey looked up at him then and gave him a small smile. She didn't know why. She should be extremely angry at him. He nearly choked that man to death. She didn't know why Kylo didn't treat her like that. Like a prisoner. So what if she was his apprentice? She was still locked inside all day. She technically was still a prisoner, but it didn't seem like he saw her that way. This made her feelings for him stronger. Wait, what?

Kylo nodded at her. "Show us to our rooms now," he ordered the man. Rey enjoyed watching him scramble out of fear and race down the hall in one of the quickest walks she'd ever seen. Kylo was walking beside her, and their hands brushed. They both looked at each other. Curse that damn helmet, Rey thought. She wanted to look into his warm brown eyes.

Rey's room came before Kylo's, and the man showed her in. She was certain that it was the most beautiful room she'd ever seen. The walls were painted a beautiful shade of light blue and the carpet was a mix of that same blue and green. Her bed was white, with blue, green, and orange fluffy pillows. She had a desk in the corner of her room, a large cabinet, a small dining table with two chairs, and a door that most likely led to a bathroom. On one wall, there was a large window. Rey could see the beautiful green trees from the forest that surrounded the base.

With her mouth agape, she turned to Kylo. "It's so beautiful," she whispered. He nodded his head. Yeah, just like you.

Kylo left her alone then, going to his own room. He told her that he would join her for dinner to discuss her training. She was excited to spend more time with him, and for some reason, she wanted to impress him. Figuring that there would be clothes in the cabinet, she walked over to it. Opening it up, she found that she was right. There were beautiful dresses of all different styles and colors. Also, there were multiple pairs of pants, shirts, and sweaters. She figured Kylo would just wear his normal attire, so she picked out a pair of soft, light grey pants, a matching t-shirt of the same fabric, and a blackish grey sweater. She grabbed all of the items and headed for the shower.

Once she stepped out of the shower and got dressed, she combed her hair. There was a button by her sink and if she pressed it, hot air would come out. She didn't really know it's significance, but she used it to dry her hair.

Rey walked out of the bathroom at the same moment that Kylo entered her room with a tray full of food. He stood there for a moment, just watching her. He noticed how good her legs looked in those pants, and how slim she looked wearing that big sweater. Her hair was straight and fluffy, falling to a length a little longer than her shoulders. One word came to his mind. Stunning.

He moved towards her table and sat down the tray. He took off his helmet, gloves, and robes, leaving him in only his black pants and black t-shirt. Rey watched his muscles as he put all of his items on her desk. They both sat down and split up the food.

"So, I was thinking that we could train outside tomorrow. We could practice your control with moving different objects that we find and we could duel in a different environment. It will teach you to be versatile," Kylo spoke before eating a bite of his vegetables.

Rey was absolutely shocked. "I actually get to train outside?" There was no way that she could hide the excitement on her face. Kylo chuckled. "Does that excite you?" He teased. "Yes, master" said Rey, not really thinking about what she called him. "Rey, we aren't training. You don't need to call me master," Kylo said, the smile never leaving his face. Rey apologized, her face turning a bright red, and continued eating.

The rest of the meal was spent trading small talk. When they were finished, they both stood up and went over to sit on her bed. They were facing each other, both not speaking. It was a comfortable silence, as they both looked at each other.

"Kylo, I-"

"Shh. Don't talk." He said while bringing a finger up to her lips. They were so soft and warm, and all he could think about was replacing his finger with his lips. He leaned in slowly, giving her a chance to move away. She didn't. They were mere inches apart, that space slowly diminishing, when Rey heard the soft pitter patter of raindrops hitting the window. She turned her head around quickly, running to the window and placing her forehead and palm on the glass. She had never seen this much rain before. On the rare occasions that it did rain on Jakku, the raindrops were scarce. This wasn't the case.

Kylo could hear her thoughts, and he immediately put on his robes. He walked up to her and grabbed her hand, feeling a little spark from the contact. Smiling at that, he lead her out of her room and down a couple hallways until he stopped at the doors that would lead them outside. "We can't stay out too long, or else you'll get sick," he said, staring down at her. She looked up at him and smiled, nodding her head. He led her out the doors and kept walking until they were standing among the trees, under the night sky, feeling the drops on their bare skin. Rey didn't think that she had ever felt anything like this. There were no words to describe it.

Kylo didn't pay attention to his surroundings, for the only thing he was watching was the beautiful girl beside him. Her clothes were soaked, hanging off of her body. Her hair was now completely wet, as if she had just gotten out of the shower. He didn't noticed she was looking at him, watching him watch her, until she laughed. That is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. She spun around and held up her arms feeling the rain drip down her skin. This was it. This was his moment.

He walked right up to her without hesitating, took her in his arms, and kissed her. Both of their wet hair was sticking to each other's faces, but the kiss continued. Their lips were wet and there were drops of water dripping down their skin. Kylo's hands were caressing her cheeks while her arms had slid around his neck, pressing him closer. Her lips parted for a second, and Kylo took the opportunity. He slid his tongue into her mouth, finding her own. Their tongues battled and caressed each other. Slowly, they pulled apart, both breathing heavily. "We should probably go inside," said Kylo. He grabbed her hand again and pulled her towards the doors, through the hallways, and into her room. That was when he stopped. What am I doing? She's probably never done this before. Don't scare her off. Take things slow. He left her standing there, shivering, as he went into her bathroom and grabbed her a towel. He walked back out and handed it to her, picking up his gloves and putting them on. Before he put his helmet on, he said, "I'll come and get you for training at 9. Goodnight, Rey." He said with a wink, before putting his helmet on and walking out of her room.

Rey sighed, wishing that they had done a little bit more than kiss. She wasn't exactly ready to give herself fully to him, but she definitely wanted to explore. She was very inexperienced. She changed out of her wet clothes and put on dry ones, climbing into bed. She went to sleep that night thinking about their kiss. To her, that kiss in the rain was absolutely perfect.

Well, we finally got a kiss! This chapter was super fun to write. I have a really important question for the future of this story. What color should Rey's light saber be? Please leave a review and what color you want it to be! Next chapter will be up by tonight!
