Part 3B

"The Return of Brian Morgan"

You realize that he's left all his stuff here and he wasn't supposed to leave for another week. Then, the reality of what he said hits you smack in the face and you start to giggle uncontrollably. He said he loved you, but you can't imagine why. All you do is torture the man, so why would he love you?

You wonder what will happen when he comes back. Um.... that'll be interesting. You decide you've had enough excitement for the day and head off to bed.

When you lay down, memories take over. You go over the little bed scene a million and one times, and if you would have just paid attention, you would have seen all the little signals he was sending out to you.

But that's not the thing that keeps you up right now. Again, you're evaluating your relationship, something you're really not in the mood to do, but are doing it anyways. Then you realize that if put in his place at the time, you would have been pretty ticked off too. And now it dawns on you that you're slowly falling in love with him also.

~*~

The next day you've got it all figured out. He's coming back for his bags and that's the perfect time to strike. You place his bags in the bed room so he'll have to walk across the house to get them. And you, well, you hide.

You see him enter the flat from your hiding place. He looks around for a moment and slowly makes his way to the bedroom. You run to the door and lock it so he can't leave. He comes out and stares at you.

"Um...." he stumbles, fidgeting with the straps of his bag.

"We have to talk about this" you say firmly.

"No. No we don't. We can pretend that it didn't happen" he says, finally looking at you.

"But it did. And we're going to figure it out, now" you say. He nods, figuring that there's no way out of it now.

"Okay....." he say, "What do we do about it?"

"I don't know. What do you want to do about it?" you ask him.

"It depends" he says, his eyes looking around the room.

"On what?" you ask.

"If..... If you feel the same way" he whispers. Now we're getting somewhere!

You take a couple steps closer to him, "What do you think?"

He stares at the floor then back up at you, "Truthfully I don't know"

"Well, I know, so take a guess." you smile at him softly.

"You do?" he asks hopefully. You smile and he smiles back.

"Now that we have that firmly established, what would you like to do about it?" you ask him.

He stares at you, his face going from red to crimson in seconds.

"Well?" you ask. You know his answer, you want to hear him say it though.

"We could be more.... ahem.... more than just friends." he says weakly. His eyes scan the room but keep from looking at you.

"And.....?" you ask. You keep prodding him along.

"And.... what do you think about that?" he asks, finally looking at you.

You can feel the heat raising from your face, "Um.... okay" you try to say it nonchalantly, but you know you didn't.

"Really?"

"Yep. Sure"

He smiles brightly then frowns slightly, "What do we do now?"

"I dunno" you say shrugging. You've never had that many relationships so you're not an expert at this stuff, "Um.... I think you're supposed to kiss me now." you blush and he turns bright pink.

He smiles slightly, "Okay. If you're sure"

You nod timidly. This will be your first kiss with him and you hope you don't screw it up by laughing or something.

He slowly makes his way up to you, nervously. He smiles coyly as you walk the remaining steps and your now right next to him.

He's taking his sweet time, just looking at you. You look up into his eyes. Their a soft sky blue and their breathtaking. His hand runs through your hair and down your neck and it stops under your chin.

You stay motionless, letting him do all the work. He's touching you with such tenderness it surprises you. He bends and you feel the moisture of his lips brush yours, light, soft, and chaste.

Now you're really glad you decided to go through with this. It's a wonderful kiss. You bring your hands up to his hair and run them through the golden locks. He has nice hair.

You pull yourself closer to him and a small sigh escapes you. He pulls back taking a deep breath, his face red.

"What?" you ask, also breathless.

"I needed to breathe" he says. You smile. For your first kiss it wasn't that bad.

"What do we do now?" he asks.

"I don't know." you say. He smiles again, and bends down to kiss you again, when a loud ringing sound that comes from com-link.

"Damn" he takes it off his belt, "What!? It better be damn good!"

"Um, Sir, the ship needs you. We have to go to Alderaan. Prince Bale Organa has urgent news." the commander says.

Obi-Wan sighs, "I'll be there in 15"

"Yes, Sir. Commander Johnson signing off"

"General Kenobi signing off" he sighs again and turns his com-link off placing it back on his belt.

He smiles down at you, and resumes trying to kiss you when the door bell rings.

"Oh, Bloody Hell" you yell and you hear Obi-Wan mumble "Blast"

You rush to the door and open it to find none other than the infamous Brian, "It's not a good time Brian" you tell him.

"I just wanted to know if you're--"

"Yes, she's busy. With me. GO AWAY" Obi-Wan says, coming to your side, twisting his arm to where it rests on your waist.

Brian stares at his arm "So you're busy then? How bout next Friday?" the boy cannot get the point.

Obi-Wan sighs, "Brian, listen carefully and pay attention. Okay?"

"Yes"

"Okay. Go away. Don't come back. She's not available anymore. Understand?"

He stares at you two blankly for a while then smiles, "Oh! I get it! So, you get her on Mondays and Wednesdays, and I get her on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Right?"

You smack him upside his blond ditzy head, "NO!!! You don't get me EVER!!! Do you understand?"

"Oh, well, someone's greedy" he says to Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan rolls his eyes, "I'm not greedy. I'm a Jedi" he growls.

"Was that a threat?" Brian asks

"Yes." he growls.

"Oh, well, in that case lets take this outside" Brian says.

"I have a lightsaber" Obi-Wan says.

"Oh. Okay. Um... have a nice day" and Brian walks down the hall, shivering slightly. As he walks down the hall you hear him mumble, "She's dating a Jedi. How's a man supposed to compare with that!?"

You close the door and start to laugh. How could you even consider dating that air head!

"I have to go now." Obi-Wan's voice rings out. You turn to him.

"Oh, that's right. When do you think you'll be back?" you ask

"I'm not sure." he responds. You nod and give him a hug.

"Have fun"

"Fun? Yes, fun. I'll have plenty of that." He says sarcastically.

You smile at him again and wrap him in a tight hug. He pulls away and smiles evilly.

"You can do better than that" he says locking you in a tight romantic kiss.

He smiles when he parts from the kiss and then exits your little flat. Well that went well.
