Chapter 4: Over the Months

Over the next 2 months I spent with him, who could not fall completely in love with him! I did, and I fell hard. He was perfect in everyway. Always giving and never expecting anything in return. It might have just been his Jedi re-flexes but I doubt it. It was hard, very hard hiding this from him. Keeping our relationship strictly business was truly testing my limits. The fact that I had to shield my mind was even harder.

His padawan, Anakin and I got along famously, and he knew my affections towards his Master and made it apart of his weekly callings to tease me about it. Anakin and I made wonderful friends, quite quickly also. He told me of his love, Padm'e, the Queen of Naboo and I told him of my problem's with his Master. We confided in one another.

I sit at my desk, very tired, for I had gotten maybe 4 hours of sleep in a week.

"Hello? Are you there K.G." I heard Anakin's voice. He had adopted the nick-name Josh had given me.

"I'm here Ani. How are you?"

"Fine, tired, but still in one piece. And you?" He asked back. I starred at the holo-vid for a moment.

"Okay. Very tired but okay."

"And my Master." He smiled that smart-ass smirk that Kenobi obviously passed onto him "The person of your affections."

"Oh, go eat bantha dung." I said smiling back "He's fine, not here at the moment. He's working himself way to hard. I worry about his health."

"Yes, he's like that. He practically runs on air alone. No sleep or food."

"Yes, I wonder, shall we do something about it?" I asked

"Oh, what's your devilish evil plan, oh Great K.G. of Mischief " He said smiling.

"With one touch to this little button, his whole schedule could be erased for the rest of tomorrow and notes could be sent out saying all his meetings were canceled."

"Oh, do it Kara." He said getting excited.

"Well I'd never do it intently." I pressed the button on my data pad, "Oops! accidents will happen though!"

"So clever and evil you are!"

"Thanks I take great pride in that."

"Sargent? Is that Anakin?" Came the General's voice. I disgaured to data pad and gave Ani a wink.

"Yes,"

"Please send the transmission to my quarters."

"Yes, Sir."

"Thank you Sargent." He said as he passed by my desk. The black wrings under his eye's indicated that he needed the brake I gave him

"Bye Ani. And remember, not a word."

"Yes, oh Great K.G. of Mischief " He said and the transition left.

*After a brief talk with Anakin I laid down on my bed and closed my eye's. Sweet pictures of Kara floated about in my head. I had grown aware of my ever growing attraction to her in the last 2 months. It was very hard keeping this secret. And, to top it off, she has learned to shield her mind, so I have no way of knowing if she has the same feelings for me.

This was pure hell. I'm willing to give her everything, mind, body, heart and soul. Anything she's willing to take. The thing that surprised me most was I fell in love with her personality not her vanity. Sure, a pretty face helps, but it all come down to your personality's being compatible, not your faces. She had a pure energy around her.

Always quick to laugh and quicker to laugh at herself. She isn't self conscience and recognizes her flaws and strived to undo them. She was somewhat of a perfectionist. I like that.

I wonder a lot about the ring she wears. And Lt. Cummings. I wonder if she and Josh are together. She talks of him a lot, but I still can't help but wonder and grow a tad jealous. I wonder if she notices how flustered I get when she mentions him?

I jerk out of my thoughts as I hear a knock at my door.

"Sir?" She calls

"Come in."

"It's 6 o'clock. May I clock out?" she asked looking at the floor.

"So eager to leave?"

"There's a local bar some of my friends are going to, I wanted to accompany them."

I was shocked in a since. "Yes, you may clock out." She stood there contemplating the floor, brow furrowed. "Anything else?"

"Yes, Sir. The whole ship has news about it and all are welcome to come....including you, Sir"

My eye brows shot to my hair line. "Thank you, I'll think about it."

"Oh, yes, and All your meetings have been canceled for the next day. You have a day off, Sir."

"Oh, and how did you manage this?" I asked smiling. She smiled back.

"My finger might have slipped while talking to Anakin." She said angelically.

My smiled stayed, but I made my voice has harsh as possible, "I really hate it when you and Anakin gang up on me like that."

"No you don't." She said her lovely caramel eye's finally making contact with mine "You love it." She turned and left.
