It was these moments that Padme cherished. These moments she had with her Anakin, the moments where he held her in his arms, saying that he loved her. The moments where all they had were each other, to where everything else in their worlds did not exist.

" Anakin," whispered Padme.

" I'm back," said Anakin.

" It isn't fair, I mean… 5 months," said Padme

" I know… it seemed like a lifetime… Yoda's lifetime," said Anakin. Padme looked up at him with a smile. She rested her head on his warm chest, as his strong arms wrapping around her made her feel so safe, as if nothing could harm her.

" I missed you to much," said Anakin.

" We both missed each other to much," said Padme.

" I know. Through the Force, I heard you crying," said Anakin. Padme just smiled as she rested her head on his chest.

" Do you want to hear something pathetic," said Anakin with the smallest chuckle.

" What," said Padme.

" I actually feel lucky that the Chancellor was kidnapped," said Anakin with a tint of guilt. " Otherwise, I would still be out there for a long time, not here with you." All Padme did as her reaction sigh with a smile. " Then I guess we are both pathetic, because I feel the same way."

Anakin bent down to give Padme another kiss, but she backed away.

" Not here, there are people coming," she said.

" No, Padme, we are going to have our moment right here, right now. We have waited long enough. This is all I want. Please love, don't worry, nothing is going to keep us away from each other," explained Anakin.

" Anakin, if somebody sees us, they would have every right to tell the council, then where would you be now," said Padme.

" With you," said Anakin.

" Anakin please," said Padme.

" I know. I do take the Jedi seriously but I just want this moment."

" I want it too, but if we are caught we may never have a moment again," said Padme.

Just as she said this senators started to walk into the building, heading towards the forbidden lovers' direction.

" I guess we have to part for now," said Anakin.

" We will meet together tonight. But this is a meeting I must attend," said Padme.

" Alright then, tonight," smiled Anakin. He and Padme shared a quick yet enchanted kiss. Padme wrapped her arms around him.

"I love you," she whispered.

" I know," said Anakin.

Padme smiled as she walked away, joining the other senators as Anakin hid behind the pillar. He only smiled with the words in his head; nothing will keep me away from her. No matter what, I will always be on her side. Always.

Anakin waited outside of the Jedi Council room for his former master to walk out. After about 3 minutes, Obi-Wan came out of the room with a normal look on his face.

" I see that the meeting went well," said Anakin.

" It was a basic mission report just like all of the other ones," said Obi-Wan. "By the way, where were you when I was reporting with the council?"

" I was just having a conversation with a senator, that's all," said Anakin.

And technically he was telling the truth.

" Politics confuse me," said Obi-Wan. Anakin just laughed at his friend.

"I didn't know that," said Anakin sarcastically.

" Well they do!"

" Let the whole world know, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi despises all politicians!" said Anakin.

" Hay that makes me feel bad! And besides, I don't despises all politicians."

" Like who," asked Anakin.

" Well, I like Jar Jar and Senator Amidala," Obi-Wan.

" What about the Chancellor?" asked Anakin

" Yeah, he is a good leader. He has kept the Republic alive, but…"

" What?" asked Anakin.

" Nothing," said Obi-Wan with a sigh. Anakin and Obi-Wan kept walking and talking until they grew hungry. The two friends decided to go to their favorite restaurant in the galaxy.

Dexter's Diner.
