Chapter 35: Leia's cousins
In response Leia and Luke put their
arms around Han. They stayed like that for a moment, then the door chimes rang,
Luke sprang up to open it, it was Leia's cousins-Stephaine, Saty and
Alizabeth.(pronounced ul lie za beth)"The grown ups were discussing all
the different consortium's, we were getting bored, so can we join you."
"Sure, come on." Luke
said.
After that breakfast, Luke quickly
programmed the kitchen droids to make more food, breakfast was less mushy, and
soul searching and more lighthearted fun, as Saty kept flirting with Luke, and
Luke, who wasn't used to girls flirting with him, turned red, choked on his
food and answered back. Leia, Han, Stephaine, and Alizabeth just laughed. But
then Luke got the hang of it and he answered Saty back. "Master Luke, I do
say, you should flirt more, and I know some excellent poetry." A familiar
droid said.
"Threepio, when I need your
advice I will ask, but thank you for trying to help." Luke said, with Jedi
calm.
Leia laughed. Soon breakfast was
over. "Leia, Luke, it was nice meeting you, the rest of you too, forgive
me, I am no good with titles and honor stuff." Han said, leaving.
Oh, your highnessness don't forget, I
am picking you up at 1730 tonight from..."
"Here." Leia said, she
couldn't leave it at that, "and Nerf-herder, don't get yourself killed
during the course of the day."
Han smiled, his famous lopsided
grin, "Same goes for you, your worshipfullness."
"Your worshipfulness."
Saty asked, puzzled.
"Inside joke." Luke
explained, as Leia shook her head at Han's back, just like him to get the last
word.
"That has been his nickname for
me forever. He had dropped it for awhile, though, so now its like a joke
one." Leia said, then she muttered, "It is so like him to get the
last word."
"Leia, I am not trying to but
into your love life, but that guy is something else. His looks are...."
Saty, the cousin who was pretty superficial.
"THat is so like you, Saty,
superficial." Alizabeth said.
"I am just stating a fact." Saty said, all so
innocently.
"Wait a second, you said, LOVE LIFE." Leia said.
Luke, who'd picked up on the wording
stood silently, waiting to see what the girl's answer would be.
"Well," Saty said, "its clear he loves you and you love him and
I know you have a date with him tonight, so love life is right."
Leia blushed, "Don't make fun,
but do you think he really loves me, I mean I love him head over heals, but
does he love me."
Luke almost lost it, here he was
about to propose to her, and she was worrying about whether he loved her. Love
between a guy and a girl, when they aren't related is weird. Luke decided, I
mean they were both worrying to see whether the other loved them.
