Chapter: So Close

Leia blinked once, saw the look in his eyes, and blinked again.

"I must be dreaming," she whispered, rubbing her eyes with her fists. "This can't be real," she muttered, opening her eyes to find that same look on his face. He was watching her, waiting for her answer. He looked desperate, something not well-known for Han Solo.

"I'm sorry?" He said, frowning. "Sorry this can't be a dream. I know how horrible I am, but geez, Leia."

"No, that's not what I meant!" she shouted, placing her hands on his thighs. "I mean, uh," she stuttered, feeling her face heat up like fire, and her fingers began to tremble against his pants.

"What, then?" He asked, sounding annoyed.

She looked up at him, searching through his eyes. He was sincere. He wanted to kiss her. He really wanted to kiss her! Swallowing, she smiled. "I just didn't know you really meant it, or not."

He laughed, "You say that like it's a bad thing."

"Well, it is. If you really want to, why don't you just do it instead of asking?"

"I thought this might make you fall for me even sooner," he said.

Laughing, she gently rubbed his cheek with her palm. He had forgotten to shave, and his cheeks were rough. Yet she rubbed them just the same. "I doubt that could happen," she whispered.

He leaned in towards her, and she closed her eyes. His breath was against her face, and she opened her lips. She had longed for a kiss ever since their first. Longed for the feeling it brought to her. The shivers were already running through her veins, but she welcomed it.

"Sir!" Threepio shouted, the door opening causing the two to split apart.

Han jumped up, banging his head on the ceiling. "What?" he yelled at the droid.

"We're here! We're at Bespin!"

"Damn, already?" Han whispered, taking a quick glance at Leia. "Then, what are we waiting for? Let's go check it out."

Leia nodded as he left the room, the golden droid following after him. Letting out a soft sigh, she looked down at her hands, still trembling from the closeness she had felt. The warmth was gone, but her cheeks were still flushed. Smiling, she stood and walked towards the cockpit to join the others.

AN: I know, short chapter. But, hey, we're coming up to another part of the movie! Not much left, you know. I'm just filling in the blanks. Hope you all enjoyed it! See you when I feel the need to write the next chapter!
