Blue Waters: episode #21 Romance in Blue Waters

Previously: Anakin talks to Samantha for awhile, I notified you of the 3 year rule of Blue Waters, Anakin left with Samantha on his ship. It's now been a month since he's had his protecting duties. They get chased by a couple of Maurders, and land on a planet.

After about 10 minutes of running, Anakin glances behind himself.

"I think we lost them.

On the planet that they are now on, the sun is setting and it is one of the prettiest sunsets Anakin has ever seen.

Maybe if it hadn't been for the beautiful sunset and the forest, Anakin would not have had the courage to say the following words, "Samantha, I need to tell you something. I want to talk to you now, before I lose this moment."

"Sure, what is it?"

Anakin says," that sunset is so beautiful…we had a double one back home…but this one is special because…(he stops, knowing how she feels about men going after her.) then says," Despite my efforts for discreteness, the council thought it best that all the Jedi fighting in the Clone Wars know that I am protecting you. There's been some rumors going around…I don't know if you've heard them or not, but…"

she interrupts him, "No, I haven't heard any."

Anakin looks relieved.

"Good, then you'll hear it from me for the first time. Even if you did hear it from someone else, I would have told you myself. The fact is that (he looks directly at her) I have certain feelings for you. I like you a lot…so now you know. It's in your hands now. Do with it what you want."

She sighs heavily.

He says, "I regret saying that. I'm sorry…I just wanted to tell you so you would know how I feel towards you. I shouldn't have said it. I'm sorry."

He turns away and begins walking towards the ship.

Samantha says, "No, Anakin…wait. I…thank you for telling me…I really appreciate it, and there's something I need to tell you, too. I also have feelings for you beyond those I had when we knew each other 9 years ago."

Anakin walks back over to her with a big smile on his face.

"Then it's okay with you if we go beyond a professional level?"

She says turning away, and crying, "Yes. I'm glad you told me…otherwise I would have had to hold my own feelings inside."

There is something I'm going to tell you right now. Anakin and Samantha are both very moral people, and though, as you may be guessing, there will be romance between them, although it will not involve sex. Let me rephrase that…they are going to practice abstinence (refraining from sex before marriage). They also do not feel as if seeing each other naked or even seeing an area that is normally covered uncovered is moral. They won't touch each other's parts (meaning the same areas that are usually covered), or kiss each other in strange areas. They will never ever have oral sex or anal sex. They won't even French kiss. They feel that those activities are improper. I'm just letting you know that to reassure you that nothing sick will happen, and if you are looking for it in here, you should no me better than to write it into the story and you'll have to look elsewhere for that kind of "entertainment". Anyway, back to the story. This is a very emotional moment for both of them. Anakin moves closer to her and puts his arm around her. His touch was very comforting and she felt it even when he let her go.

"We'd better get back to the ship now," he says.

The feeling that they get with each other is very warm and touching. It's the special kind of GOOD feeling a person gets when being with someone they really care about…the feeling you get when you go outside on the first warm day of spring…when you feel the breeze…when something very moving happens…when you listen to good music, when you watch a great show…and when you talk to God. (Remember everyone is a Christian in this story.) It is also the feeling that you get when you do something really good for someone else, when you dance with someone you really like, when you're held by someone you really like, when you have a back massage by someone of the opposite sex, do you know what kind of feeling I'm talking about. That is going to be the feeling going on between Samantha and Anakin throughout Blue Waters. They have developed a special love connection.

When they get back to the ship, Anakin says, "but isn't it a problem that you're the Queen of (I was going to say of the Rebellion…that would be a Big mistake, since this is Blue Waters, not Death Star) Coruscant? I'm just a commoner."

Samantha says, "that doesn't matter, Ani…is it okay if I call you that?"

He nods.

Then she continues with, "It doesn't matter that you're a common person, not to me anyway. Maybe to my parents…but they can't control me. We like each other…that's all that matters. God put us in the galaxy…and if we're meant for each other then we're going to be together no matter what anyone else tries to do. If He meant it to happen, it'll happen. A lot of times I've wanted to escape from the palace and just hang out with common people. I don't like you for any reason except you. I care about you and nothing else."

Anakin says, "and I don't like you because you're the Queen of Coruscant…but because I like you."

She says, "I know…that's why I'm able to like you back. You're the first person to be like that."

He reaches his arms around her and pulls he close. They kiss for a long time.

Until next time!
