Chapter 7: Slight Complications
Note: this chapter does bring in elements that were in the show The O.C, to bring in a more O.C crossover. I hope that you still enjoy the story
Anakin drove into Padme's driveway, seeing Obi Wan's speeder next door in their driveway, "Hmm wonder if he's with Satine" he wondered getting out of the speeder, moving up with Padme towards her front door. They quietly sneaked in through the door, he was holding on to her so tightly, she giggled at the fact of having his strong, firm hands wrapped tightly around her,
"Are you sure no one's home?" he whispered, looking around just in case someone came around the corner, as Padme nodded
"Yes, I'm sure" she replied, approaching the stairs, they were then startled by a surprising, unexpected voice,
"Padme, you're home!" they exclaimed. They both turned to see a taller male figure standing at the entrance to the living room, it was her father, Ruwee, Padme grinned
"Hi, Dad. Didn't expect you to be home so soon" she confessed, seeing him close the book he was holding moving over towards them
"I finished my work earlier. You feeling any better from this morning?" he asked her as she smiled,
"Oh yes, very, very happy" she replied, then his eyes wandered to the boy holding his daughter around the waist,
"Who are you?" he asked sternly as Padme spoke,
"Dad, this is my new friend Anakin Skywalker. He's staying with Obi Wan and his family" as he shook his hands with Anakin,
"Nice to meet you, you don't look like you're from around here?" he pointed out, Anakin nervously bit his top lip, wondering what he could say. He quickly lied;
"We use to live in the outer rim so this is all new to me" he replied as Ruwee looked at him, with a curious look in his eyes,
"Okay, well I hope you enjoy it here, I'll leave you to it" he told them, heading back into the living room and Padme and Anakin to head upstairs, where they breathe a sigh of relief,
"That was close, I didn't know he would be home" she told him as he smiled,
"It's okay, it was interesting meeting the father" he smiled, he had the most charming smile, making her feel weak at the knees, falling into his arms,
"Are you alright?" he asked as he held her, before she wrapped her arms around his neck, running her hands through his thick, blond hair
"Yes, I just suddenly got flushed seeing you smile" she giggled as he swung her in the area, sharing a kiss together.
Discovering that Anakin still wasn't home, he entered the home from the backyard. His father wasn't home yet, but his mother was. She hurried into the kitchen, taking him by surprise;
"Obi Wan! Where's Anakin!" she cried "Qui Gon just called and he said he is coming home early and wants to see all of us, I saw you arrive but no Anakin where is he?" she asked, her voice is panic,
"Uh, um, he is, he is…" he stopped, what could he say? "He is on his way, a friend asked him to help them home because their speeder broke down and they weren't feeling too well, but he'll be here" he lied, Jaina breathed a sigh of relief
"Oh good, make sure alright, I don't want him in trouble again" she told him, heading into the lounge room, Obi Wan moved over to the comm., he dialled Anakin's number, it was ringing but he would not answer, he still did not hang up.
Anakin and Padme were locked in a passionate sweet kiss when the comm went off in his bag, "Oh man" he groaned, reaching over, "Hello" he answered, before he heard Obi Wan's voice in a panic
"Anakin, it's Obi Wan, you need to come home, dad is on his way and needs to talk to us when he gets home" he told him, Anakin rolled his eyes, Padme's finger trailing up his arm
"What? Now? Why? I'm busy" he replied, but Obi Wan shot back
"He won't wait and if he doesn't see you, you are in more trouble" he told him, Anakin sighed
"Okay, I'm on my way" he replied, hanging up, he turned to Padme, who was curling her hair around his finger, "I have to go, this is important" he told her, she smiled, though replied in a small voice
"I understand, thanks for everything" she replied, kissing him watching him dart out the door just as her comm rang, she moved to answer it,
"Padme!" came the distress voice, it was her friend Satine, in a panic and distress
"Satine? What's wrong?" she asked, as Satine took a deep breath
"Okay two things, one, I kissed Obi Wan this afternoon and two, Dorme has been seen teaming up with Palo this afternoon" she told her, Padme couldn't believe the first part
"What? You kissed Obi Wan!" she exclaimed, Satine rolled her eyes
"I know, I couldn't help myself and I…hey! What about you and Anakin huh?" she snapped back.
Padme stopped, this was just like that, "I know, but I can't believe you did it too" she replied, as Satine sighed
"I know but what about Dorme? She is out to get you and here's the worse part, the annual summer beach party held every year before summer break, she is going to do something really huge" she pointed out as Padme realised,
"Oh no, hey, I am in charge of that with you" Padme pointed out, hearing Satine suggest
"Could we cut her out?" she suggested, as Padme paused for a moment
"We'll see, for now, come over and we'll talk about this" Padme told her, hanging up, she moved over to her mirror, she could now stand perfectly because of what the doctor had done, still limping but not as bad, she started singing to herself, pushing aside what Satine had said about Dorme, thinking about her kiss with Anakin.
Palo had been crouching outside her bushes, watching Anakin leave, his fist tightening
"This is ridiculous, I should inside with her" he told Dorme and his friends, as Dorme smirked
"Yes, but he's gone now, we just saw him leave meaning that there is something going between them" she told him as he shook his head,
"I can't believe it, it's just a thing, she's still in love with me" he told her as she looked at him, her eyes cutting through him,
"You should be careful about who you trust anymore" she replied. This was true in her eyes, everyone she knew had found someway to be untrusting to her, her mother, Satine, her father, she found out no one was worth trusting.
Anakin slowly opened the door, where Obi Wan grabbed his shirt and pulled him in, "What the hell takes so long, dad just arrived seconds before you did and I had to say that you are home but were in my room getting a holo disk" he told him, Anakin patted him on the shoulder
"Good work, did they believe it?" he asked,
"Yes, but we need to get in there now" he told him, heading into the dining/kitchen room where Qui Gon sat with Jaina at the table,
"Boys, it's good to see you home for once, obeying the rules" Qui Gon spoke, without looking up,
"We try" Obi Wan laughed as Anakin looked at him, taking a seat on a nearby kitchen stool as Qui Gon began to speak once more
"I wanted to see both of you because I had a rather surprising visitor today and she had some concerns" he went on as Anakin tightened his fist,
"Was it that jerk manager's assistant about the incident with Palo?" he snarled as Jaina looked at him with the look of don't-say-anything-like-that-now-this-is-not-the-time as Qui Gon shook his head,
"No, it was Jobal, Padme's mother, who apparently ran into you today at school" he informed them,
"Anakin wasn't doing anything bad this time" Obi Wan put in, Qui Gon sighed
"No, she noticed how Padme was hanging out with you and not her usual friends like her boyfriend" he told them,
"Is that a problem?" Anakin asked, seeing Qui Gon placed one hand on his temple
"Well, she thinks that Padme is slipping away from her ever since she met you" he replied as Anakin snapped,
"This is unbelievable, it's not like I would hurt her, I mean I love…" he stopped, when he realised he had gone too far,
"You what?" he asked,
"Nothing" he replied, his voice now a whisper, Qui Gon looked across at his son
"Obi Wan, did you know about this?" he asked, seeing Obi Wan lower his head, a small kick of his feet
"Yes and no. Yes, a little and No, a little" he replied, wishing he was dead, Qui Gon turned his attention back to Anakin
"Anakin, you were brought here to have a better chance, if Jobal or anyone finds out about your past, you are finished here and she knows how to spend gossip" he warned, as Obi Wan muttered
"Or sleep around" at the same time Jaina had moved off to answer the comm as Qui Gon warned them,
"Please be careful. Jobal is strict with her daughter's and their status, so watch it" he told them, moving off as Anakin and Obi Wan breathed a sigh of relief,
"Why did you do that?" Anakin asked, seeing Obi Wan shrug innocently
"I don't know, just wanted to help" he told him, Anakin rolled his eyes, annoyed
"Next time, just don't say a word" he told him, moving off. He didn't care about Padme's mother. On Tatooine, he came face to face with scary species and humans.
Jobal stood in her office, dressed in a very short, red skirt and revealing shoe-string black top, overlooking a file she had been handed, which she had a knock at her door, looking up she saw it was Palo,
"Palo, what a unexpected surprise, can I help you?" she asked as she waved her hand for him to come and take a seat as she took a seat on the edge of her desk. Palo looked at her, "God, she was hot, Padme sure takes after her mother" he thought,
"I wanted to say that I think Padme is becoming distant with me, like cheating on me" he confessed as she looked at him,
"Honey, I know Padme she loves you, although I saw her today with Satine, Obi Wan and a new boy, oh what was his name?...Anakin!" she exclaimed, but this was not good,
"I hate him" Palo replied, before she moved over towards him, one hand on her shoulder
"Look, I'm sure she loves you, it's a phase" she told him, looking at him, the way Padme used to, then without stopping either of them, he leaned in and kissed her and she kissed him back! After a few seconds, she stopped,
"Padme should definitely not be cheating on you" she smiled, as he thanked her and left, smiling all the way, without realising the seriousness of what he had done.
Padme sat on her soft, large bed with a distraught Satine; she was more shocked about kissing Obi Wan then what Dorme was up to,
"I mean, I can't believe that I did that. I kissed him, I kissed him after I said to him I wouldn't go that far like you did" she cried as Padme comforted her,
"But how did you start it?" she asked, as Satine looked up at her, tears staining her face
"He just helped me out of the speeder, held my hands which made me feel so safe and warm, I just leaned in and kissed him" she told him as Padme tried to smile,
"Maybe you always have liked him but never wanted to admit it" she suggested, Satine looked up,
"What!" she exclaimed, "I do not" she added as Padme just looked at her, her eyebrow raised,
"Really? You kissed him" she pointed out,
"You kissed Anakin" she argued, now on her feet
"See, you are denying it" Padme replied, with a smirk
"I am not" she argued again then gasped, "Oh no, I am, I am falling for him" she muttered, crying again as Padme only rolled her eyes, Finally the truth comes out she thought. Now all they had to do was look after Dorme while strengthening their new romances, unaware more complications were about to surface
