They headed to the middle of the dance floor together. Anakin wrapped his
arms gently around Padme's waist as they began to move along in rhythm to
the music. Anakin closed his eyes; he felt Padme's body in his arms. He
sniffed in the sweet scent of her hair. He pulled her in closer to his
body. She also closed her eyes. She felt his strong arms wrapped around
her. She wished this moment for last for eternity. But the music after a
while faded and they stopped dancing. Their eyes opened at the same time
and they looked right at each other. Their lips were only inches apart.
Anakin looked away, his face blushing.
"Thanks you for the dance," he said sincerely.
"Any time," Padme said with a smile.
They both walked away in different directions. Padme went back to talking with fellow politicians and Anakin went back to sitting in the corner. Soon time began to pass and the hour grew late. Padme knew that the party wouldn't last much longer. She went over to find Anakin; she wanted to talk with him before the night ended. But he was no longer sitting in the corner.
"Padme, what are you doing over her by yourself," Padme turned around to see Anakin walking towards her. He must have been looking for her also.
"I was looking for. I thought you might like to talk," Padme responded.
"I would like to talk," Anakin said grinning. "I'm guessing you'll be heading back to Naboo soon." Padme nodded.
"Tomorrow," Padme stated with some sadness to her voice.
"You know, as long as there aren't anymore attempts on your life, I don't think we'll be seeing much of each other." Anakin said in a teasing voice.
"Yeah, I know. But, hey, you never know. Maybe someone new will want me dead and we'll end up meeting again." Padme said with a laugh.
"I hope not," Anakin said seriously. He moved in closer to her.
"Wow, it's getting late," Padme noted nervously. "I best be getting back."
"Yeah," Anakin agreed taking a step back.
Padme turned and started heading towards the exit.
"Hey, Padme," Anakin said after her. She turned back around.
"Yes?" She replied. "Don't let it be another decade before we see each other again," Anakin smiled.
Padme laughed. "I won't," she promised, and that was a promise she intended to keep.

"All packed?" Dorme asked Padme.
"Yes," Padme replied sadly.
"Why so sad," Dorme questioned. "You will be returning back home."
"I know," Padme sighed.
"Ready?" Captain Typho said stepping into Padme's room. Padme nodded.

Anakin raced through the hall of the Coruscant apartment. He had to find Padme. He had to tell her that he didn't care about what they agreed on, he had to tell her how much he loved her. He finally reached Padme's apartment. The door was wide open so he entered to find the apartment empty except for a maid cleaning up the place. He quickly dashed out the door. He had to go to the hangar Padme's ship was in.
**
Anakin finally reached the hangar, just in time to see Padme's ship fly into the sky. He fell to his knees and took deep breaths. He ran all the way here. He wanted to cry, but no sounded escaped his lips. "Ani?" a soft voice behind him said. Anakin quickly stood up. Padme was standing right before him. "What are you doing here?" Padme asked in a gently voice. "What are you doing here?" Anakin repeated to her. "I saw your ship take off. Why weren't you on it?" "I told them to take off without me. They have some things they need to drop off at Naboo; they will be back in a few days. I told them I had some unfinished business, so I stayed here with Dorme and Captain Typho." "What unfinished business?" Anakin curiously. "This," Padme said as she ran up to Anakin and wrapped her arms around his neck. She placed her lips firmly on to his. When they broke apart, Anakin's face was in complete shock. "I don't understand," he said confused. He couldn't hide his happiness as he smiled. "Either do I," Padme stated. "All I know is that I love you, and I always will. I know I can never hide my feelings for you any longer, and I'm not going to try." Padme pulled Anakin back in and gave him a long, loving kissed that they let linger between them. I hoped you liked the story. Please write what you think of it. I'm always interested. Thanks. :
