"That is one nice thing about this place." Han growled in Leia's ear. "I am always ignored when you are with me."
Leia laughed, a little self-conscious. "I have been coming to this place for a long time, so I guess the people here know me."
Han looked puzzled and like he was about to ask more. Leia was saved from answering whatever questions Han would've posed when the waiter droid came. "This way Madam Organa and Sir Solo." It said.
"Let's go." Leia said, barely masking her relief.
Han offered Leia his arm and they went to their table. As they sat down Han caught Leia's eyes playfully. "I love you." He mouthed.
Leia blushed a beautiful red; she turned her head away playfully. Then she turned back and mouthed, her expression thoughtful "Hmm… I guess I love you too."
"Gee, I am honored." Han said, aloud.
"Good, you should be." Leia said, with a smile. "I had 41 Consortium men offer me their hands in marriage."
"And I got chosen over them." Han said, "Wow."
"So you'd better treat me well." Leia said, shaking her finger at him.
Han caught Leia's hand. "Hey, I'd never hurt you." He said, seriously. "You should know that."
Leia was touched. "Thank you. I love you."
"I love you too." Han said, leaning in to give Leia a kiss.
The kiss lasted an eternity for Han and Leia, and 20 standard minutes. The waiterdroid had come and, wisely, left the couple alone. When the kiss was finished they pulled away slowly, their eyes shining with mutual love. Han caressed Leia's cheek with his hand gently. Leia smiled an enchanting smile at the love of her life. Then the droid came over, "Excuse me, ma'am and sir, what would you like to eat."
Without thinking Leia ordered what she always ordered, Alderaanian 2020 special.
Han hadn't looked at the menu, obviously, so he said. "Uh… the same for me please, can I also have an Alderaanian Ale."
When the droid had left, Leia leaned in and whispered to Han. "You aren't going to like that, general, it is very… Alderaanian."
"I think you will find that I like many Alderaanian things." Han answered.
Han took Leia's hand, and smiled at her, content to be in her presence. And whatever doubts Leia had had, disappeared... at least temporarily.
The dinner went off well, and then Han and Leia took a stroll in the park, walking hand in hand around a fountain, and into a multi-planet forest, where they had plant specimens from every planet in the galaxy including Alderaan.
At 200 hours Leia said. "Han, I am having a great time, but I think Luke is waiting up, so we should return."
"Always the considerate sister." Han teased. "All right, let's go."
Han dropped Leia home, lingering only long enough to share a kiss with Leia. Leia was so flustered that she couldn't even type in the door codes correctly. Luke had to open the door. "Are you okay?" Luke asked.
Leia didn't answer, she just fell into her brother's arms. Luke shook his head. He then carefully closed the door while holding Leia. "Someone looks happy." Luke remarked as he carefully set his sister on the couch.
"Han is awesome."
"Your worrying was in vain."
"Maybe."
Luke sighed. "Only maybe."
"Well, it could've been a fluke." Leia said, defensively.
"Leia, you need to be a little more sure of yourself. You had a great time, take advantage of that."
