CHAPTER TWELVE

Sunlight trickled in through the drawn blinds of the window to the right of the bed they shared. The lines of the light settled on the bed, lighting the two lovers still asleep from their recent lovemaking episode during the morning hours. They cuddled close, still held tight in each other's grasp.
Anja began to stir awake. Her eyelids fluttered open and took sight of the man before her. She smiled as her eyes caressed Obi-Wan's angelic face as he slept. At the moment she wished that she could look into those mystic blue eyes of his. She remembered the first time she had looked into those eyes and seen love.
As if knowing what she was thinking about, one of Obi-Wan's eyes lazily opened to curiously gaze at Anja. He smiled when he opened both of his eyes and placed a large hand behind her head and drew her to his lips for a tender kiss.
"My dream came true." He said as they pulled away from their kiss.
"What.?" Anja asked puzzled.
"My one dream."
"What was it.?" she asked moving her body closer to his and placed her soft hand back on his chest.
"To wake up in the morning next to you Anja. After a night of making love to you..." She watched as he blushed with the last words. She smiled and took to his lips for another kiss.
"You know." Obi-Wan started as he pulled back. "I hope Master Qui- Gon and Master Ianol don't find out about us."
"Oh I don't think we will have to be worried about that." Anja laughed and rolled onto her back.
"How come?" he asked moving closer to her so that his body curled up against her side. He wrapped his warm and strong arms around her waist.
"They knew about us last night. They even came in to check in on us." She glanced over at Obi-Wan.
"Is that so?" he asked shocked.
"Yes, didn't you sense them when they came in?" Obi-Wan eyes went large with a new sort of surprise. She laughed.
"So I guess it's safe to say that we can sleep in a little while longer."
"Yes, it is." She smiled. Anja felt Obi-Wan's face nuzzle into the crook of her neck as he brought her closer to his body. She sighed, knowing that this was her dream come true too.
