Sorry it's been so long between updates. I broke up with my boyfriend a
month or so ago and really haven't felt much like writing. I promise to try
and update as often as possible from now on.
Family of the Light: Chapter Fifteen
By Jayde Star
Jayde found David just as he finished talking to his dad.
"Was he real angry?" She asked him.
David shook his head. "Nope, he's been in meetings pretty much all day and hadn't heard about it yet. He said that if he had he would have been trying to contact me by now to find out the truth about what was going on." He put his arms around Jayde's waist. "Your father seems fine with us dating as well."
"I know, he told me." Jayde leaned against his chest. "Did you want to go now?"
"Yep." David moved away from Jayde slightly, then gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. "We've got to leave tomorrow night, so I guess we should get packed now and then we don't have to worry about it tomorrow. Not that I really have anything to pack, as I tend to mostly live out of what I can keep in a bag. Did you want to say goodbye to your parents?"
"No, I already said I should be going and that I'd come see them before we left tomorrow."
"Okay then, lets go."
* * * * *
Jayde and David walked back to her apartment together, hand in hand.
"I'm glad your parents aren't too upset about us." David said as he released her hand and put his arm around her shoulders.
"I'm glad your dad never heard the news before you told him about what he would see." Jayde replied as she put her arm around his waist. "I think he would have hit the roof if he had've seen it."
"Yeah I know." David stopped walking and turned to face Jayde. "But even if he, or your parents, were mad, I don't think I would care because we're together now and that's all I care about."
"Aaaww, aren't you sweet." Jayde answered with a slight giggle, she couldn't say any more, because David kissed her gently.
"So it is true about you two!" They both heard a shocked voice and instantly pulled away from each other.
They looked in surprise at the person who had just found them.
"What are you doing here?" Jayde exclaimed.
"I was just out for a walk, found you two and was going to leave you alone, but I couldn't resist saying something." The new person replied.
"I haven't seen you in ages, Pen. What have you been up to?"
Pen Danany, member of Rouge Squadron, grinned at Jayde. "I've been doing the usual, flying my x-wing. What about you? I heard only yesterday that you and Steve split and now I hear on the news that you and Dave here are engaged. If I hadn't have seen you two just now I never would have believed that."
Both David and Jayde looked slightly embarrassed. "We're not engaged. We saw the cameras and thought it'd be a good joke, but I'm beginning to think more and more that maybe it isn't." Jayde shrugged.
"Fair enough, but are you two together now?" Pen raised an eyebrow.
Jayde shrugged again. "I guess so."
David gave Jayde a surprised look. "You 'guess' we're together? You're not sure any more?" He said, putting on a mock hurt voice.
Jayde rolled her eyes. "Okay, I don't 'guess' I know. Is that better?"
David's answer was just a smug grin.
"Hey, that's great. I always thought you guys should have stayed together." Pen said enthusiastically. "What are you both doing tonight? The squadron has 48 hours off and we're going to party tonight. Why don't you join us? I'm sure everyone would love to see you."
"I haven't got anything planned. I'd love to come." Jayde said instantly. "Who is will be there."
"Everyone in the squad. Jaina even said that her and Jag might stop by. There might even be a couple of the Wraiths, though I'm pretty sure Steve won't be there."
"It wouldn't matter even if he was, I would still come."
"Great." Pen grinned. "And what about you, Dave? I presume that if Jayde says she'll come, you'll come too?"
David hesitated for a minute before answering. "I can't tonight, I've got plans. Sorry."
Jayde looked surprised. "You have plans? Since when? And when were you planning on telling me?"
David sighed. "Yes I have plans. Since lunch and I was planning on telling when we got back to your place."
"Who with?" Jayde demanded, totally forgetting that Pan was still there.
"With your brothers. Ben was saying that it had been ages since us guys have caught up and as he's going to be a father soon, Phil will be married soon and I'm going away for a couple of weeks, that tonight was as good a night as any. Is that okay?"
"It's fine. I was surprised and I was looking forward to spending some more time with you."
"We're going to be spending the next few weeks alone together. I don't think us being apart tonight will hurt us." David put his arms around Jayde's waist.
"I know." Jayde said with a slight sigh as she stuck her lip out in a pout.
David was just about to kiss Jayde when they were interrupted by a loud clearing of someone's throat.
Jayde blushed. "Sorry Pen, forgot you were there."
"That's okay. I've gotta get going anyway. I'll see you tonight, I'll pick you up at your place, ok?"
"Great. See you then." Jayde waved goodbye before turning back to David. "Now, lets get back to my place, I've got packing to do before we leave tomorrow and as I'm now going out tonight I really don't have time to waste."

Yes I know this was incredibly short, but it's taking me a bit to get into the habit of writing again. I'll try and write more next time.
