What if she decided that she didn't really want to marry him right then after all. Twenty- four hours was a long time. She really could have changed her mind from when they talked last night about it. What if he wasn't good enough for her? It's funny that in a particular momwnt of time the arrogant man had gone out the door. What if he couldn't make her happy? What if she were miserabe with him? I suppose that he forgot about all the times she laughed with him and was very happy...
He heard movement from the door that led out to the balcony. He looked up to see the priest coming to stand beside him. He gave Anakin a kindly smile that was meant that soften his nervousness. But, nothing but his bride to be would be able to calm him down.
"Does it take that long to get ready," asked Anakin aloud although he was really talking to himself.
"She should be out shortly," said the priest.
Anakin look at him with an almost expression. It was almost as if he had just noticed his presence.
The door opened once more and out came Padme. She was dressed in a simple white gown but Anakin was sure she had never looked more beautiful. She smiled at him as she took his hand.
The priest spoke hi words but neither of them really paid attention. They could only look at eachothe and smile. Padme was sure that this was the happiest day of her life.
She felt Anakin sliding a ring on her finger and then she slid one his. Before she knew it his lips were on hers as the priest pronounced them man and wife. As his lips stayed on hers she could not help the tears that poured down her cheek.
"I love you Padme..."
Later that night as Anakin pulled her against himself he felt her body trembling. He knew that she was scare dof what was to come. They were about to do something that she had never done before.
He slowly kissed her and slid his hands around her waist.
"Don't be afraid. I'll never hurt you."
He watched as she smiled up at him and wrapped her arms around his neck before kissing him passionately.
"I know Anakin. I trust you. I know you would never hurt me. I'm not fragile. I'm not going to break easily. I've wanted this for a long time. Tonight, don't hold back from me. Please..."
Before Anakin really knew what he was doing he had taken her face in his hand and passionately kissed her. This was all he would ever want. This is all that he would ever need. And tonight she was his.
Those were the last thoughts in his mind as he climbed on top of her...
Part 2:
Padme sighed deeply. What had she done? What had she been thinking? She had not only ran off with Anakin in the middle of the night but she had married him as well. The parents would never get over this one. Of that she was sure...
She felt the arms that were wrapped around her slightly shift as Anakin slept. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. They would be going home in a weeks time and he could actually sleep. What was she to do with him. Suddenly he sat up.
"What's wrong, Padme? Why aren't you sleeping?"
"I know you are not serious," replied Padme as if he were completely insane.
"Our parents won't be all that happy with us but they'll get over it," said Anakin as if he were discussing the weather.
" 'Won't be that happy?' 'They'll get over it?' Have you never met our parents? What are we going to do? What can we say to make things right with them," asked Padme in a worried tone.
"We have a week here. Let's enjoy it. I don't want to fight with you. I don't want us to worry about anything. I just want us to be happy here. We don't have that much longer, but in the time that we do have I want us to enjoy it."
"Alright, Anakin."
"I love you, Padme. I hope that you haven't changed your mind and regret having the small wedding we had..."
"How could I? It was my idea. It was what we truly wanted. All those other people aren't the ones that are going to have to spend the rest f their lives with you. I am," said Padme with a hint of a smile on her face.
"Forever," whispered Anakin as if saying it a little bit louder would not make it come true.
"Forever," confirmed Padme.
"So, no regrets," asked Anakin.
"Never," said Padme ad the smile on her.
Anakin returned her smile as he pulled her as close to him as possible. It was then that he made a promise to himself. Through it all, no matter what happened, h was going to love this woman forever...
Part 3:
Padme sighed as the warm sun kissed her face. She sighed in displeasure as a shadow stood over her. She opened her eyes as her husband grinned down at her. She watched as he layed beside her.
"I love you, Anakin. Never forget that," sighed Padme.
"I won't. I promise. I love you too."
"One day with all our responsibilities to our parents we'll forget our time here and how happy we were; how lighthearted. And it will be like we were never here to begin with," sighed Padme sadly.
"I'll never forget our times here and the memories that we have shared. They will stay a part of me forever. I promise," said Anakin.
"Don't make me a promise that you can't keep," sighed Padme sadly.
She couldn't help but smile a little bit as she felt her husband wrap his arms around her. Despite her love for him even she was aware of the storm that would be brewing when they got home. She wondered just hw bad it would truly be...
