Okay, so everything is fantastic. I mean I guess I should be happy. I get to take time off to write a musical, something I never thought that I would have the time for! But I am not truely satisfied. In fact, I am a little upset. You see, Laurel asked me to leave. She said that she had stuff to do and that I probably needed time to write so she shut the door in my face and left me in front of that glorious dressing room door, in a complete stupor.
So here I am, sitting in my flat in the upper sections of Coruscant trying to write. With all the noise that is being made from the party next door though, I don't think I'll be able too.
"Hey Jace?"
My head snaps up and Zekk is staring at me with this funny little smile on his face, "Wow, you are really in la la land over there."
I gave a soft chortle, "Yeah, Laurel is really getting to me- you know she told me she loved me."
Zekk stopped laughing, "Jacen, man, don't be stupid- she gets paid for making men believe that she loves them."
I considered this, "But what if she really does love me... I mean, I can't wait around forvever you know."
Zekk gave me a very worried look as he bit his lower lip, "Jacen, don't fall in love with a woman who sells herself, it always ends bad, believe me I've been there."
That wasn't surprising, though I made a mental note to ask him about it the next time we talked.
"I've gotta get out of here... I'm gonig for a walk."
And with that, I left my flat with a datapad and prepared to "be inspired."
I wandered aimlessly for a while and then realized that I was in front of Prohibido. I groaned and then looked up to see Laurel in her bantha shaped dressing room, looking about as miserable as I felt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laurel sighed audibly to herself and went to her mirror. What was wrong with her, no man, no matter how beautiful or powerful had ever made her feel the way that Jacen made her feel. She looked out her window into the dim lights of Coruscant and a tear fell down her face and splashed to the floor. She wanted out of this, she wanted to move up in the world. It was odd to feel caged, depressed she hummed to herself and then started to sing a song that she had once heard.
"One day I'll fly away....
Leave all this to yesterday
What more could your love do for me
When will love be through with me
Why live life from dream to dream- and dread the day...
When dreaming ends..."
She sighed again and looked at the stairs that would lead her to the top of her dressing room, she rushed up the stairs and looked at the night sky. Coruscant was so bright, that from the lower levels, no stars could be seen. She looked at all the towering buildings around her.
"One day I'll fly away....
Leave all this to yesterday
What more could your love do for me
When will love be through with me
Why live life from dream to dream- and dread the day...
When dreaming ends..."
She turned around to walk back down her stairs and was startled to see Jacen standing there staring at her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I watched as Laurel sang and tears welled up in my eyes. She had the voice of an angel and she seemed so unhappy. Was there anyway of reaching her? I crept up the back of the Bantha (oh all right, the butt!) and quietly shrank to the floor of the top of the bantha. She finished her song and turned to go down the stairs, and that's when she saw me.
She gave a start.
"Jacen, what are you doing here?"
I stood up and gave a weak smile, all of a sudden very interested in my shoes, "Ummm, I just started thinking about you and I got this urge to visit you..." I trailed off knowing that I sounded like an idiot.
Gaining more confidence, I looked her straight in the eye, "Laurel, what you said earlier... did you mean it?"
She gave me a wonderful sabbac face, "Mean what?"
"You told me that you were in love with me."
"Of course not, I'm paid to make men fall in love with me."
"I see, so I was just another pawn, another way to make money?"
For a fleeting moment, I saw something pass over her beautiful face, an emotion that gave me a little bit of hope, but just as soon as it had appeared, it was tucked away.
"Jacen, I can't fall in love with anyone."
"Can't fall in love? But... that's terrible!"
"No," she corrected me, "Being on the streets is terrible."
"But... Love is like oxygen... love is a many splendored thing... love- lifets us up where we belong! All you need is love!"
Laurel sighed, "Please don't start that again."
Jacen got an idea and more confidence than he had ever been able to muster since he had first talked with Laurel "All you need is love."
Laurel looked at him as if he were nuts, then getting the hint, quickly caught on, "A girl has got to eat,"
Jacen leared at her "All you need is love."
Laurel gave him a dertermined look and frowned "Or, she'll end up on the street!"
"All you need is love." Jacen tried again.
"Love is just a game," Laurel turned on her heel and went for the stairs.
Jacen was beginning to get desperate. He pulled himself together and started to sing the first thing that came to his head, "I was made for lovin' you baby, you were made for lovin' me." all the while, doing this little dance that he was sure in the future he would regret.
Laurel looked at him and gave him a sad grin tossing her hair behind her in the process, "The only way of lovin' me baby is to pay a lovely fee."
"Just one night.Just one night," Jacen tried again, not really realizing what he was singing
Laurel laughed at him, "There's no way, 'cause you can't pay."
Jacen got down on his knees and pleaded again, "In the name of love, one night in the name of love."
Laurel sighed and turned around in a mad fit of laughter, "You crazy fool, I won't give in to you!" With that she turned to leave again.
"DON'T! " Jacen said pulling himself off the ground and taking her hand, the electricity between the two of them evident even in a gentle touch of a hand, "leave me this way, I can't survive- without your sweet love- oh baby- don't leave me this way," he pulled her towards him gently as he wrapped his free hand around her waist.
Laurel felt herself being pulled into his song, and then realized that he physically pulling her towards him, she pulled away slowly and wrapped her arms around herself, "You'd think that people, would've had enough, of silly love songs."
Jacen gestured around him laughing, "I look around me and I seeeeeee, it isn't so oh no."
Laurel smiled wryly "Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs," she made eye contact with him this time, praying they didn't give her away.
"Well what's wrong with that? I'd like to know, 'cause here I go." Jacen grinned at her evilly and then took a leap (force helped of course) to the top of the bantha's great head, which was quite high. He could hear Laurel screech for him to come down, but he continued anyways " Love lifts us up where we belong! Where eagles fly! On a mountain high!"
Laurel took the initiative and pulled on his belt loop, which brought him back down to her level, "Love makes us act like we are fools, throw our lives away for one happy day!"
Jacen grinned at her, "We could be heros!" he sang loudly, "Just for one day."
"You.you will be mean." Laurel sighed and turned to walk down the stairs, she was knew men, they weren't satisfied with just one night.
"No I won't!" Jacen said sincerely.
Laurel shook her head and headed back down the stairs, "And I. I'll drink all the time!"
"We should be lovers-" he proposed.
Laurel shook her head laughing, "We can't do that."
But Jacen was determined to show her, "We should be lovers, and that's a fact."
Laurel looked into his eyes and she she saw something, something that she had never seen in a man before. And all of a sudden, she found herself drawn to this man, "Though nothing- will keep us together."
Jacen could hardly believe what he was hearing, a look of true elation crossed his face and he grinned broader than anyone possible, "We could still try, just for one day."
They started to sing together now, "We could be heroes, forever and ever We could be heroes, forever and ever. We could be heroes."
Jacen took her hand and ran the other one through her hair, "Just because I, will always love...."
Laurel smiled at him softly, "I can't help loving-"
"You," Jacen whispered softly.
Jacen held her very close now, and their breath mixed together delightfully.
Laurel smiled enchantingly at him, "How wonderful life is..."
"Now you're in- the world," they finished together.
Jacen pulled her towards him to kiss her, but she stopped and pulled away gently. He gave her a confused look, but she grinned.
"You're going to be bad for business, I can tell!"
And with that, they shared their first kiss- and boy was it magical!
