Family of the Light: Chapter Seventeen
By Jayde Star
"We're already in hyperspace and you still haven't told me exactly where we're going." Jayde said as David got up from the pilot chair and moved towards the galley of his ship the 'Rouge Heart'.
"You never really asked." David replied, but he didn't stop.
"Well, I'm asking now." Jayde followed him.
David grinned and didn't answer. Instead he went about looking for something to eat for dinner, something more appetising than a ration bar. Jayde waited a few moments before saying, as obnoxiously as she possibly could: "Daaaaaaavvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Tell me where we are going. Or you'll severely regret it."
David rolled his eyes. "Okay, just promise you'll never say my name like that ever again."
Jayde gave a slight smirk, then snaked her arms around David's neck. In a softer voice she agreed. "Promise, but only if you tell me where we're going in the next ten seconds."
David slipped his arms around her waist, smiling down at her. "Fine. We're going to Tatooine."
Jayde pulled away from him slightly in shock. "Tatooine? Why are we going to that dust ball? Even dad avoids the place as much as possible and he was born there."
"I know, but Karrde has had a really good client there who not only pays good money for the luxuries we can bring him, but also gives quite good information for free which Karrde earns extra money for."
"Oh." Jayde looked slightly confused. "If he has so much money then why does he stay on Tatooine of all places? You'd think there were nicer, and cheaper, places he could live. Also places that aren't as dry."
David shrugged. "Who knows why some people do things? I think he kinda likes the place. He is a little eccentric." David shrugged again. "Anyway, we have nearly five days before we get there and I have better things in mind for us to do during that time."
"Really? Such as what?" Jayde asked coyly.
"Oh, I don't know." He gave her a light kiss on the lips. "Things such as dinner."
Jayde instantly pushed him away then gave him a light smack on the arm with her hand, then rolled her eyes. "I don't know why I put up with you sometimes."
"Cos you love me, that's why." He grinned at her, before pulling her into his arms and kissing her passionately.
When they finally came up for air Jayde pushed him away and said "Enough of that. Now, you said something about dinner? I'm hungry."

After a wonderful dinner together Jayde and David just looked at one another, both wondering what was going to happen next.
Jayde finally broke the silence. "So, what do you want to do now?"
David shrugged slightly. "I know what I'd like to do." He said suggestively.
"Dave..." Jayde started to say something, but she wasn't sure how to word it so she gave up before she even started.
"I know. You don't have to say it. I want to wait too. I want it to be special when we sleep together. And I most definitely want it to be perfect for you." David smiled at her. "I love you more than anything or anyone else. I don't want to do anything that could ruin it. I would wait for ever for you."
"Well, I don't plan on making you wait for ever. Just a little while, so that we can both be certain that this is right."
David took Jayde's hand in his. "I'm certain this is right. How could something that feels so perfect not be? And as I'm certain we'll have the rest of our lives together, why rush into anything that could damage the perfectness [A/N: I don't think there is such a word, but who cares] of this."
Jayde thought she might cry. "Oh, Dave. How did I deserve such a wonderful, loving, caring, understanding boyfriend?"
"Not to mention handsome."
Jayde laughed lightly. "Of course, how could I forget handsome?" Jayde got out of her seat and moved closer to David, so that she was standing just in front of him.
"I think you're wrong there. I think it's me who doesn't deserve you." He put his arms around her waist, pulling her into his lap with their foreheads touching. "You're sweet, beautiful, loving, beautiful, caring, beautiful, forgiving, beautiful, intelligent, beautiful, sweet. Oh, and did I mention beautiful."
Jayde laughed again. "Yes you mentioned beautiful." She gazed into his eyes. "I love you David Antillies. You make me the happiest woman alive."
"And you, Jayde Skywalker, make me the happiest man alive."

I was going to make the chapter longer, but here just seemed the perfect place to end it. So I did. Anyways, don't forget to review. I like reviews. :)
