Dark's Day10
The
next morning Luke woke up with a throbbing cheek. It took him a while to work
out why. Drunk? No, then he remembered the wedding and Lina lobbing a boot at
him. He sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes. He looked over to where Lina was asleep
in a chair and felt a pang of guilt. She didn't look very comfortable. But
then, he felt his swollen cheek and the guilt vanished. It was time for
revenge.
He got up and changed into a black shirt and trousers. Then he crept into the
fresher and covered a sponge in ice cold water, crossed over to Lina and wrung
it all over her head. She woke up screaming, and drenched in cold water. After
a few seconds she cottoned on to what Luke had done.
"You bastard. What did you do that for?" She shrieked wringing out
her sopping hair.
"Serves you right." He replied, gesturing at his cheek. Lina smirked.
"Blue and purple are so your colours." It was Luke's turn to glare.
But he still couldn't help but notice her slightly revealing nightgown.
"What are you starring at fish mouth?" She asked grabbing some
clothes and making a beeline for the fresher.
"Nothing, nothing." He replied airily, as she slammed the door in his
face.
Half an hour later she emerged in a pink top and a cream skirt. Luke was sat
eating breakfast, which a serving droid had bought in. He turned to look at her
when she entered.
"They want to see us?"
"Who do?" She asked pouring herself a juice.
"Vader and Sidious."
Lina sighed, apart from Luke they were the last people she wanted to see.
Besides they were sure to ask questions about Luke's newly acquired bruise, and
then she'd be in trouble.
"What time?" She asked, starring hesatively at some kind of green
fruit.
"11o'clock." Lina sighed, that was three hours away.
"They also sent another message." Luke started, with the air of one
cradling a bombshell.
"Oh what was that?" Lina asked trying to not give Luke the
satisfaction of seeing her interested.
"Be prepared for a shock…."
