Jaina awoke suddenly in the night. She felt a weight on top of her and she wondered where she was. She then remembered the events of the evening and realized that the weight, that was now crushing her, was Jag. She smiled slightly and tried to readjust herself under his weight. She shifted and he grunted. Jaina snickered and pulled her hand out of the crease of the couch and lifted it to cover her mouth as she laughed. She was now looking at his shoulder and she saw that Jag's entire body was on top of hers. Getting up would be a chore and the fact that she couldn't breathe was started to aggravate her. Silently praying that he was a sound sleeper, she pulled herself out from under him and rolled him back onto the couch as she rolled onto the ground with a thud.
I could have made that a little more graceful and not to mention quieter! Oh my goodness! I think he's waking up! Oh no! What am I going to do? Please don't wake up, please don't wake up. Thank the force! He's still asleep. He is such a sound sleeper. Although I kind of want to tell him goodbye before I leave to pack. I wish I could stay, but I really have to pack. Then again, so does he. Hmmm. Well, maybe I could wake him up before I go. Gee, I wonder what time it is.
Jaina glanced at her chrono and saw that it was 4:30. They had two hours before they had to leave. Jaina grinned and tilted her head as she leaned back on her hands and crossed her legs.
Look at him. Wait a second, I am looking at him. Colonel Jagged Fel, how on earth did you manage to win my heart? He looks so sweet when he sleeps, so finished and wonderful. Handsome, clever, witty, all rolled into one. I am kind of glad that we are going on this trip and getting away from the base. We will be all alone on a ship with my brother of course, but still. I think that this will be a wonderful experience. And my father, oh what will he do to Jag? If he finds out that I love Jag, did I just say that? I mean if he finds out that I am interested in Jag, yes much better word choice, and Jag feels the same way, what will he do? Oh, I better wake him now.
Jaina leaned over and placed her hand on his shoulder. She shoved him gently into the back of the couch and he woke with a start. Ok, so she wasn't so gentle with him, but he survived.
"What's going on?" Jag asked half asleep.
"Oh, nothing much. I am just sitting here and watching you." Jaina replied in a sugar sweet voice.
Jag lethargically sat up and looked at her through half closed eyes. He smiled lopsidedly and lowered his head to kiss her. She pulled back at the last minute and let him fall to the floor.
There, that ought to wake him up!
"Morning breath, dear. It's gross. Plus we have no time to get sidetracked and we both need to pack. Now go brush your teeth and I'll clean the kitchen for you." Jaina showed her white teeth in a beautiful smile and stood up. Jag stood next to her and stared. His mouth was fairly hanging open. She closed it with her index finger and put her hand on his neck and pulled his lips close to hers. She kissed him quickly and softly and sent him on his way to the 'fresher.
Jag grudgingly walked into the 'fresher and Jaina walked into the kitchen to get started on the dishes. She turned on a radio and began singing as she cleaned. Soon she was adding little spins and twists. She was full of energy this morning and wasn't quite sure why. Jag stood in the doorway of the kitchen 15 minutes later and watched her dancing in front of the sink. He sunk his hands deep into his pockets and leaned in the doorway. Jaina spinned and saw him standing there.
She started laughing and twirled her way toward him and took his hand, urging him to dance. He twirled her into his arms and placed his hand on the small of her back and his other hand held hers. She had the hand that wasn't captured by Jag's on his shoulder. The slow song soon went off and Jag twirled her one last time and pulled her close to him. Her hands were on his chest and his arms were wrapped around her waist. He took her lips in a fierce kiss and her arms sneaked up around his neck. His tongue entered her mouth and she in turn pushed hers into his. She was in a state of bliss. But she knew it had to come to and end. As Jag's hands moved up her back she slowly pushed away.
"As much as I would love to stay here with you, I have to go pack. And you have to pack too. I'll see you at 6:00 on the landing pad." Jaina said.
She began to walk away and trailed her fingers down his arm until their fingers were just grasping each others. She pulled her hand from his and left his quarters.
Jag looked around and noticed that Jaina had indeed cleaned up the kitchen. He was relieved that he had no cleaning to do and walked into his room. Glancing at his chrono, he realized how little time he had to get ready. It was 5:30 already. Jag got to packing.
Meanwhile.....
Jaina walked briskly down the hall and luckily not many people were up and about. It was a very good thing for she was glowing. Thoughts of Jag were running loose in her head. Soon she reached her room and got to packing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 6:00 am
Jacen, Kyp, Han, Jag, and Jaina were all there right on time. Everyone had put their belongings on the ships they were taking and were now talking about their game plan, so to speak. Han had his arm around his baby girl and had explained it all to them so many times that they knew it like the back of their hand. Soon, it was time to leave.
"Daddy, be careful and it's good to be going on this mission with you." Jaina said airily to her father as she prepared to board her spacecraft.
"Sweetie, I am so proud of you and I can't tell you how glad that we are on this mission together. If you need anything during travel time, go to your bother." He father said protectively.
"Daddy, I'm not a little girl anymore. I can take care of my self. I love you daddy." Jaina said as she disappeared up the ramp.
No matter what, she will always be my little girl. But she's right, she's growing up and she can take care of herself. I just hope that that Jag doesn't get any ideas. Oh well, better get going.
Jag boarded the ship while Jacen said his goodbyes to his father and Kyp. Jacen would be piloting the ship and Jag was glad. It would mean more time for him to be with Jaina. At that thought Jag smiled.
Yes, this will be an interesting trip, a very interesting trip.
