"Yes, I found her." Obi Wan responded Sabé questions.
"Is she hurt?" Asked Sabé through the holo vid.
"No she's…" Obi Wan started to answer Anakin yanked the holo-vid from Sabé "Is she hurt master??" he asked his voice full of anger.
"She's perfectly fine." Obi Wan said.
And as soon as he did Anakin muttered a goodbye, and turned the vid of.
Obi Wan turned his off as well. He sighed heavily. He hadn't expected his padawan to be as riled up about as he was. He sighed, Anakin has to learn more control.
"They are on their way home your majesty." He said turning towards Amidala who was coming out of her bedroom.
Amidala had changed as soon as they had gotten home. She had now gone from the sexy form fitting black dress, to an appropriate robe.
Amidala sighed. And she took the seat next to the Jedi master.
"Yes well I suppose Sabé is very angry at me." She said.
Obi Wan shook his head. He could not understand how a handmaiden could ever be allowed such freedom. But it had been always obvious that Amidala wasn't a normal queen. She regarded her handmaidens as friends. She showed no sign of the spoiled brat she could've been when they had first met.
"I think, your majesty that she was mostly worried about you." He replied.
She cast him a glance and looked away.
The night had been far too revealing for her. Suddenly without warning her eyes began to glisten. She did her best to hold them back but …
"My queen, what's the matter?" He asked her turning her chin towards him.
She sighed and looked him straight in the eye.
"I should be sad right now… Mad at myself for being so irresponsible… But my Jedi I only feels happiness. Happiness that I got this one night." She paused and searched his face, which was full of care and understanding. " And that… I got to share it with you…" she continued.
He took in a sharp breath. And suddenly he had come closer to her. Their bodies now touching. Each set of eyes searching the others face. They held each other's gaze, forgetting who they where once more.
His face inches from hers. Her lips parted, and she unknowingly licked them in anticipation. He cast his eyes on the beautiful lips. They moved even closer, and Amidala reached to take his face into her hands.
"Padmé…" his gentle voice caressed the air around her. And she heard her name being said like no other had said it before.
"Amidala!" The voice had come from the entrance. And it sliced trough the air like a knife.
The Jedi stood up, immediately reacting. He straightened his robes, and without a glance at her direction, left to answer the call.
Amidala sat at the couch transfixed. She could not believe what she and the Jedi master had been about to do.
She could not believe she had wanted it that much…
She shook herself out of her reverie, footsteps where coming to her in a hurry.
She stood up and was suddenly in Anakin's arms.
"Ami! I was so worried. Are you alright?" he asked holding onto her body tighly. She could only gasp out her answer.
"I'm fine Ani…truly I am." She said closing her eyes. She now realized the fullness of her actions, she truly had scared Anakin.
"My queen are you alright?" She opened her eyes and looked at her handmaiden.
"Well then would you mind telling me where you have been!?" Her handmaiden demanded, in an angry tone.
"Ani please let go of me." she asked the Jedi.
And with reluctance he did.
She looked past her handmaiden and saw that Obi Wan was standing there with a stony look in his face.
What must he think of me? She thought to herself. He surely must hate me now.
1 "I'm so sorry Sabé!" She cried throwing her arms around her angry handmaiden.
She closed her eyes and held them close for a moment. She simply did not want to see the look on Obi Wan's face.
She held on for a moment more, and when she let go of Sabé the Jedi had once again averted his eyes from her.
"I just… I needed so much to get away from it all…" she explained her voice breaking as her body convulsed with sobs.
She went to the couch and sat.
"I truly am so sorry Ani, Sabé."
Anakin came to her and sat. He took her in his arms.
"Shh… it's alright Ami." He whispered against her hair. She let herself lean on him.
"My queen. If you needed a break we surely could've managed something." Sabé said.
Amidala lifted her head. She looked at her handmaiden and at Anakin. She knew that they would never understand what she had been feeling. Nobody but…
She cut of her train of thought, aware that Obi Wan could still hear some of her thoughts.
She had been thinking that nobody but Obi Wan could ever truly understand. He understood without explanation… But now he couldn't even look at her.
He must be angry still.
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she felt a tug coming from Obi Wan.
He shook his head slightly, and gave her a small smile.
She cast her eyes downward.
She could no longer hear her handmaiden and Jedi Skywalker's reassurances.
The only thing she could hear where the flutters in hr stomach.
He was not angry. That was all that mattered.
"Anakin, perhaps we should leave the queen to rest now. She has had a busy day." Obi Wan said loudly.
Amidala looked at him, and his face was once again a serious mask.
"Yes master." Anakin stood and so did Amidala.
"It was very sweet of you to be so worried Ani." She said to him.
"How could I not my love?" Anakin asked her looking into her eyes.
Amidala cast her gaze away… Again the intense glare…It was too much… From him it was too much…
"Goodnight Anakin." She said.
Anakin murmured a goodnight.
And suddenly Amidala was caught of guard as his lips lightly touched hers.
She stood there in shock. He had kissed her.
The Jedi gave her a smile before turning around and leaving. His master looked behind him for a moment, and then proceeded to follow his apprentice.
Amidala had felt something flicker around her as soon as Anakin's lips had touched hers.
She didn't know if it was her surprise or his…
She turned around and her handmaiden stood there looking as surprised as she was.
"I…" Amidala started.
"I can't believe he did that." Her handmaiden continued for her.
"Oh Sabé! What am I going to do about him?" she asked.
"What do you mean my queen?" Sabé asked.
Amidala took her handmaiden's hands into her own.
"You must promise me that you will tell no one what I am about to tell you." She pleaded.
Sabé looked at her totally confused, but she complied with her queens request.
"I promise."
"I want so much to love Anakin, as much as he loves me. I want to give him a chance to feel loved. The way he should be. You understand?"
Sabé nodded.
"But… I'm afraid something will come in the way of me giving him that." Amidala said turning away from Sabé, finally realizing what she had been feeling towards the man for so long.
Sabé nodded once more, half expecting what her queen was going to confess.
"Oh Sabé, he's just too wonderful. And when I'm around him… It's like nothing on this galaxy. I feel complete. I feel so free…"She said. Amidala turned to face Sabé.
"I think I'm in trouble Sabé…" she paused. " I think I'm in love. But it may be with the wrong Jedi!" she exclaimed sounding helpless.
"I'm in love with Obi Wan."
Her handmaiden nodded.
"Yes I've suspected as much."
"What!?"
"Well I have been your friend and bodyguard for a long time Padmé, and I've never seen you look and act the way you do around him." Sabé declared. " When you're with him, I can see the village girl in you before you became entrapped in your duties as the queen."
Amidala felt tears stinging her eyes.
"You should have seen him tonight Sabé. I went to a club called The Rodan. Apparently it's the crème de la crème of the clubs. The best ever. And I found out that he was a regular there. A favorite among the ladies. They used to come there just for him. And it makes perfect sense, because who wouldn't jump at the chance of being near him? If only for a moment…" she said. She hesitated realizing that she did not want to tell her handmaiden about her one dance with him, or about their kiss…Or what was almost a kiss.
"Well my queen. I think you really do care for him."
"I do. I truly do… I wish I didn't thought." Amidala said. Privately she thought, "IT would make things so much easier if I didn't"
"What am I supposed to do?" She said aloud.
"Well my queen, I suppose you have two choices. Anakin or Obi wan. Do you want to be the care-free woman you once were, or the dutiful queen you are now?"
Amidala sighed, and she let herself break down. Her sobs coming in big gulps.
Her handmaiden led her to the couch where she held her queen.
* * * * *
Oh Amidala, for once forget about being a dutiful human being. Forget about your fixed future. You once told me you didn't believe in that sort of thing. Amidala… my poor queen… trapped by your loyalty to others. For once follow your heart…
Sabé sighed knowing whom her dutiful queen would most likely choose.
* * * *
Obi Wan laid on his bed. His mind flashed on the kiss his padawan had given the queen. Only moments before it could have been him…
He sighed. What a night. Well Qui Gon, you really raised a great Jedi, at every turn I get myself deeper into trouble.
And the queen. How soft she had felt against him tonight…
He brushed aside those thoughts.
No. It couldn't happen.
He wouldn't let it.
He licked his lips, as another memory of them flashed in his mind.
It's going to be a long night… he thought.
* * * * * *
Wow. Thought Anakin.
