Hi everyone, I'm back with this mini sequel come away with me. It's long
overdue I know but it's taken me a while to get back into writing. Well I
took inspiration from Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight, check it out if you
haven't already heard it. It's a beautiful song.
Summary: It's three years on from the events in Come Away With Me. Obi- Wan is now 28 and Padme is 21. This is just one of the mini sequels that I mentioned that I'd do so there won't be any major plot to it. It's just a sweet bit of fluff if you like.
Disclaimer: Once again I don't own any of the characters and I make no profit from this, it's just a hobby. Please don't sue.
I don't think that it's too important that you read come away with me first but you might want to. Ok hope you all enjoy and don't forget to review.
Wonderful Tonight
Part One : You Look Wonderful Tonight
It was early evening on Coruscant and still the bustling traffic continued to fly outside.
As she watched it she found that it matched the frantic beating of her heart.
He was near.
She could feel his presence becoming stronger in their bond as his proximity increased.
Her excitement was paramount as she thought about the arrival of her husband, about being in the same room with him again, being with him again.
It had been six months since the last time they had met in the flesh, six months that had dragged on for far too long.
Even though they managed to speak to each other at least once a week and send each other private transmissions as often as they could, she still missed him dearly.
And it has been two weeks since they had last communicated and this made her even more desperate to see him.
He'd been sent away on a mission and was unable to contact her.
She was anxious to hear how it had gone.
He hadn't told her much about this particular mission, which worried her.
Usually if it was a straightforward mission he wouldn't have a problem with telling her certain aspects, but with this one he had been uneasy and unfortcoming with information.
She always worried about his safety when he was sent on dangerous missions, which were becoming more and more frequent.
For now he was safe though.
She checked the bond again, he was almost here.
There were so many reasons why today was special, the most important reason being that it was their three-year wedding anniversary.
She couldn't believe that she'd been married for three years already and she couldn't believe that they'd managed to keep it a secret from everyone for so long.
It hadn't been easy but somehow they'd managed it.
Today was also special because from this day forward she was officially the Senator of Naboo and there was a ball tonight to welcome all the newly elected Senators to the senate.
Because this was such a high profile event, the chancellor requested that each Senator have a security escort.
She'd been so shocked when it had been announced that Obi-Wan was assigned to her, what were the chances of that?
She didn't know and right now she didn't care.
She almost jumped out of her skin with shock when she heard the ever familiar accented voice in her mind.
/ Knock, knock!/
Seconds later Rabe entered her room with a broad smile.
"M'lady, he's here. Shall I let him in?"
Padme collected herself and took a seat in front of the mirror of her dressing table.
"Send him in."
........................................
........................................
He'd just seen Anakin off on his class trip when his COM had gone off, summoning him to the council chambers.
He'd only been back on Coruscant a day and already they were planning on sending him away again.
Imagine his surprise when the council had informed him that his nest mission was to escort and protect the newly elected Senator Amidala of Naboo to the ball this evening.
As he made his way up to her room he remembered how his heart had started racing at the mention of his wife.
He'd had to up his shielding in order to keep his excitement from the council members.
He had checked the expressions of the entire council and was confident that his emotions had gone unnoticed.
All except for Masters Yoda and Windu.
He thought he saw them exchange a knowing look but when neither said anything he put it down to his over active imagination.
He was brought back to the present by the chime of the turbo lift as it reached his designated floor.
As he stepped out into the corridor he felt Padme's presence become stronger in his mind.
He stood still and allowed himself to bask in the love and light that she provided him.
He couldn't believe that in the next few minutes he would be face to face with her for the first time in six months.
Suddenly he decided that he couldn't wait to be near her and used a force- enhanced run to bring him to her apartment.
He knocked on the door and waited to be let in.
He was soon greeted by the smiling face of Rabe.
"Master Kenobi! It is good to see you again. M'lady had been eagerly awaiting your arrival."
He laughed inside imaging how Padme would react to Rabe telling him such a thing.
"Its good to see you again too Rabe, its been too long. Can I come in?"
A small blush of embarrassment made its way onto Rabe's face as she rushed and apology and allowed him inside.
"I'll let m'lady know that you're here."
As she made her way over to the bedroom, Obi-Wan couldn't resist the urge to surprise his wife and sent his own greeting through their bond.
He smiled proudly when her shocked reaction reached him.
It was only a few moments later when Rabe called him to the room and left him to make his entrance.
Momentarily feeling self-conscious he straightened out his robe, ran a hand through his short cropped hair and finally let his hand scratch the stubble on his chin, wishing he'd picked another week to start growing a beard.
But there was nothing he could do about it now, there was no way that he was going to waste time shaving it off when he could be with his wife.
Taking a deep and steadying breath, he took the couple of strides that brought him to his love.
.........................................
.........................................
She was still checking over her appearance in the mirror when the brown of his cloak caught her attention out of the corner of her eye, and her head turned to meet the blue/green eyes of her husband.
For the briefest of moments she just stared into the eyes that she had desperately missed, and then in the space of a heartbeat she was up, out of her chair and wrapped in his arms.
She revelled in the safety, comfort and love that being in his presence provided.
The seconds passed into minutes before either of them made a sound, but finally Obi-Wan broke the silence.
"Hmmm how I've longed for this moment over the last six months. I've missed you more than any words can express."
She snuggled her head into the crook of his neck and took a deep breath that surrounded her senses in the scent of him.
"I've missed you too, my love. It's been far too long."
She couldn't resist the urge to taste his skin and began to tenderly kiss around his neck, was greatly satisfied when she heard his sharp in take of breath.
She couldn't help the girlish giggle that escaped her mouth when Obi-Wan suddenly scooped her up into his arms and carried her over to the bed.
Before she had a chance to say or do anything, Obi-Wan captured her lips in a heated kiss that left her mind reeling.
She'd caught a glimpse of the stubble that covered his cheeks and was a little taken a back by the rough feel of it against her skin as they continued to kiss.
She wasn't about to let it get in the way of their first kiss in half a standard year.
Finally unable to do without oxygen any further, they both broke apart, their lungs greedily sucking in the air they had been deprived of.
"Force I needed that."
She laughed at his admission.
"I could tell."
This time Obi-Wan joined her in her laughter.
She turned on her side and gazed down at him as he lay out flat on the bed.
She could feel his unease through their bond as she let her finger stroke the short whiskers that were obviously the beginning of a beard.
"I do hope that you're not too serious about growing this thing."
"Oh come on, it wouldn't be that bad."
She leaned across his chest and brought her face closer to his before making her reply.
"I don't know why you would want to cover such a handsome face in so much hair."
As she spoke her lips graced his skin in the whispers of kisses, to which he was very responsive with small groans and grunts.
She continued with her task as he spoke.
"Without it I still feel like a fresh faced Padawan in training, not the Jedi Master that I am."
She halted her sweet caresses and fixed her soft gaze on his.
"If you must do this to yourself then please promise me that you will try to keep it as short as if it were only a weeks growth. You do not need a beard to make you anymore a Jedi Master, it is obvious in your body language the wisdom and strength that you posses."
Satisfied that her point had been made, she gently kissed him again and again, until she was no longer content to just kiss him.
It wasn't long before their clothes were scattered and they brought each other to the height of their passion over and over.
.........................................
.........................................
They hadn't had long to bask in the afterglow of their activities, as they both had to get ready for the ball.
It didn't take him long to have a quick shower and then get dressed back into his Jedi clothes, but for Padme the task of deciding what to wear had been a much longer process.
From his position on the bed he now quietly watched as Padme applied her make-up.
Now that she was no longer Queen she didn't have to wear the heavy and constricting traditional make-up.
Instead she was now able to wear soft tones that only enhanced her natural beauty.
His eyes never left the reflection of her in the mirror, he didn't dare look away just in case she disappeared and it turned out to all have been a dream.
They rarely got to spend time like this uninterrupted and he wanted to make sure that her every movement was etched into his memory, so that he could call upon it when he was in the darkest of places.
He closed his eyes and touched their bond in his mind.
He was immediately comforted by it.
He'd truly missed having her calming presence in his mind.
When they were separated over great distances it was unusual for him to get any kind of reading other than that of some of her emotions and whether she was in any danger.
Even this was more than he expected, he'd never heard of a bond being so strong that you could feel anything from someone who was many planets away.
And of course there was no one he could ask about it either and therefore he just had to deal with it on his own.
His attention returned to Padme getting ready, now finished with her make- up she was brushing her long and wavy brown hair.
He sat remembering how her hair had felt in his hands as they'd made love no more than an hour ago.
He hadn't planned it happening as soon as he saw her but his body and the force had had other ideas, not that he was going to complain though.
He was distracted when he saw Padme standing in front of him and apparently having asked him a question.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
"I said, do I look alright?"
He took a good long look at his wife before answering.
She was dressed in a royal blue strapless evening gown that had some intricate beaded detail on the bodice section of the dress.
Her hair was pulled back into a bun but she had various curling tendrils that caressed her neck and face.
Her make-up was natural and her jewellery stunning.
She looked the embodiment of perfection.
"Well?"
His attention was brought back to his answer.
He stood up and crossed the distance between them.
"Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
His response seemed to go down well as her face lit up and her cheeks blushed and she lovingly kissed him.
After several minutes they finally pulled apart.
"Shall we go?"
She checked her make-up and then nodded.
Tbc..
Well let me know what you all think of this part. There are only 2 more parts to come and I'm not sure when I'll have the next one ready. It could be able of weeks at the very least but I'll try to get it done quicker for you. Thanks for reading and I hope to from you all soon. Sassy.
