Chapter 14: The Morning After & Surprise Declaration
Anakin just continued to stared gob smacked at Obi Wan as Padme got up and moved over to where Anakin stood, as shock as Anakin,
"What's going on?" she asked as Obi Wan moved further into the room, his eyes transfixed sternly at Anakin
"I was just talking to Owen earlier and Siri last night and both of them gave me the impression that you hated Siri because of some comment she made to Padme" he explained to them as Padme quickly caught on,
"You were not standing there. What she said was very uncalled for!" she argued back as Obi Wan just looked over at Anakin,
"Then what about your comment afterwards Anakin?" he asked, waiting to hear his response
"I was defending Padme. She's my girlfriend and I only said what I thought. How can that mean I hate Siri!" he demanded "I say she's acting like a bitch and she thinks I hate her?" he scoffs as Obi Wan was the one now to stay quiet, but Anakin still went on, "I mean I know she's your girlfriend but you have to admit that she was out of line" he points out quickly adding "As for Owen, he has only been here since last night and doesn't know a lot of what's happening here" he reminded him, as Obi Wan was now the one to wear the embarrassed expression on his face,
"That still doesn't give you the right to say those things to my girlfriend!" he argued back adding, "I mean, I wouldn't say that to Padme" as Anakin just laughed,
"Oh yeah, are you telling me that if Padme had being in Siri's position and said those things about her, you wouldn't say what you thought" he pointed out, Obi Wan paused for a moment,
"I know how to hold myself and can bottle things up" he replied as Anakin rolled his eyes,
"I bet you couldn't" he teased as Obi Wan stared at him, he could see just how close Anakin was with his brother in his tone
"Anakin, don't turn into your brother" he simply informed him as Anakin shrugged,
"What do you mean?" he asked innocently,
"Your attitude, ever since he arrived, has changed and I don't like it" he explained.
"What? Are you crazy? I would never let Owen change me" he informed him, though Anakin didn't know if that was a lie, he remembers his conversation with Owen right before Padme arrived last night: He wanted him to run away all this and go back to a life of nothing, just crime. Obi Wan was about speak once more when a loud rapping at the door, cut in, it was just Owen, taking in the situation,
"What happened here last night?" he laughed,
"Nothing" Anakin snapped as he rolled his eyes,
"Sure. Anyway, Padme, your mom is here and is begging to see you" he told her, "Plus, she is not happy you stayed here" he added as Padme held her grip on Anakin's strong arm,
"I have nothing to say to her. Anakin would you take me home?" she asked as he smiled pleasantly,
"Anything for you" he answered her, escorting her out, followed by Obi Wan, leaving Owen standing there, to smirk,
Now is where I can have some fun, he thought, grabbing his phone, "Sola, it's time to cause some trouble" he informed her.
Jaina could not stand seeing Jobal in her house; she cast a stern gaze over her, before she spoke
"I told you I have nothing to say to you!" she snapped, hearing Jobal sigh
"I wish you would because we need to talk but I am also here for my daughter" she replied as Jaina laughed,
"I hope she never speaks to you for a long time after what you said in front of her" she answered her seeing Jobal jump back,
"How dare you say that to me! She would never do that!" Jobal argued back as Jaina grinned,
"Let's just see shall we?" she asked as Owen came in, unknown to them, he was willing to cause more trouble
"She didn't want to see you and taken off with my brother" he explained as Jobal gasped, hands flying to her mouth,
"What! Jaina, this boy better be lying" she told her as Jaina called for Obi Wan, who popped unexpectedly around the corner,
"Obi Wan, where is Padme?" she asked sweetly as Obi Wan held his gaze firm with them, unlike Owen, he could never lie, if he did, his mother wouldn't believe him
"She said she has nothing to say to her and asked for Anakin to take her home" he replied as Owen threw his hands in the air, mouthing silently, "Why do this to me?" as Jaina turned to Owen,
"Owen, why say something like that?" she asked as Owen shrugged,
"I don't know" he mumbled though he secretly did. He wanted to create trouble, trouble that would cause Anakin to run away with him. Jobal turned on her heels and left,
"I am going after her, but I will back to talk to you Jaina and Kyp" she smirked, not even bothering to close the door behind her, leaving the huge gust of cold, chilly, wind to flow through.
Padme smiled over at Anakin,. They had managed to sneak out the backyard successfully making it across his driveway to her house without being seen, though Padme already knew that someone would have told her mother she did not wish to speak to her, she smiled up at Anakin
"Thanks for taking me home. I just can't face her right now" she told him, attempting to block out memories of last night when she felt Anakin pull her in closer so she felt his warmth,
"It's alright. I was happy to have you stay and keep you comfort" he replied, rubbing his hands down her back as she giggled,
"I liked it, come on inside. I'll get you something to eat" she told him,
"Are you sure it's alright?" he asked,
"It won't be a problem" she smirked, winking gently at him, before they dashed up the stairs into the front foyer of her home and around to the kitchen, grinding to a halt,
"Sola! What are you doing up so early?" she asked, panic in her voice, sitting at the kitchen table in her sleeping attire
"Mom's early yells and I had a phone call from a friend which woke me" she replied, before noticing Anakin, still dressed in his formal outfit last night and uncombed hair,
"What's he doing here?" she pointed out as Padme stroked his arm slowly, "He walked me home and I was going to give him some breakfast" she answered, just as a loud bang caused them all to twist right around to the entrance of the kitchen.
As the glass doors slammed hard against the frame,
"Padme! Where are you!" they heard from the front room as Padme remained silent, but Sola only smirked, using her best older sister voice,
"In the kitchen, mom!" she exclaimed back as Padme gasped at her,
"What was that for?" she demanded,
"It's what I do" she answered just as Jobal hurried into the kitchen,
"Padme, glad I found you. I need to talk to you" she pleaded with her, like Sola, her eyes moved over to the tall, lean, boy with uncombed hair next to her,
"May I inquire as to why he is here?" she asked,
"I invited him in for breakfast" Padme confidently told her mother,
"Couldn't change from last night then?" she asked,
"Mother! I was upset and I had no spare clothes to change into" she pointed out as Anakin began to shift nervously on his feet,
"I should probably go" he mumbled out as Padme held him back,
"No, you're not because I invited you and my mother cannot make you leave" she snapped at him,
"Padme, we need to talk and I don't want Anakin with us because it's family matters" Jobal hissed through her teeth as Padme still held her ground,
"I don't care, who are you to say whose family are. Kissing Obi Wan's grandfather last night! Is there anything else you've done?" she asked as Jobal froze, she had also been unfaithful by cheating with Palp but she couldn't say that,
"No, I am so sorry that you had to see that" she cried as Sola started to feel uncomfortable,
"I'm just going to go upstairs to my room" she spoke up, slipping slowly off her bench stool and out the kitchen.
Sola was making her way around the corner when she ran into her father,
"Dad! You startled me" she breathed, as he smiled,
"I'm sorry sweetie. Have you seen your sister or your mother?" he asked as Sola just smiled, hugging her dad tight,
"I just wanted to let you know I love you" she told him as he sighed,
"That's so sweet, so have you seen them?" he asked again,
"In the kitchen, but you may want to avoid going in there" she warned him as he smiled down at his daughter,
"Sweetheart, I'm sure everything will be fine" he replied before brushing past her as she continued on upstairs, stopping halfway, just sitting down on the stairs. She didn't spend much time at home during the year but she loved her family deep down and if what she saw last night was true, her family would be soon divided.
"I don't understand you Padme. You can cheat on Palo with Anakin here but it's not alright for me to have a little more excitement?" Jobal angrily asked, as Padme couldn't believe what she was hearing, from her own mother!
"I'm not married and besides I liked being with Palo but I am truly in love with Anakin" she corrected her, gasping at what she had just heard herself, her mother and Anakin staring at her,
"You what!" Jobal exclaimed, the one thing Jobal never expected to hear her daughter say to this boy,
"What?" Anakin echoed her response as Padme moved closer, wrapping her arms around his neck,
"I love you" she repeated, as he smiled, leaning in for a sweet, tender, romantic kiss, before Padme turned her head, "I'm sorry, but I do" she told her mother, her eyes growing wide when she stared at the figure behind her mother,
"Dad!" she exclaimed,
"Padme, if you are scared about what you said. It's alright, I don't want you to be unhappy" he spoke as Padme slowly began to cry, with tears of joy, running over to her dad,
"Oh, I'm, so glad you're not angry" she cried out before running back to Anakin and dashing from the room.
Jobal, slowly turned back to her husband, her bright brown eyes coldly piercing through her husband's soft eyes,
"What was that for?" she asked, Ruwee could hear the angrier in her voice,
"Jobal, you can't stop her from doing what she wants and she said she loved him" he answered her,
"But we barely know this boy! His brother last night was a very shifty character especially this morning and we don't even know who his parents are!" she yelled, as Ruwee moved in to console her,
"I understand that what you mean but you can't have Padme hate you all the time. It also seems that something else was troubling her, maybe involving last night, perhaps?" he innocently brought back up as Jobal threw her arms in the air,
"Nothing happened. It's probably friendship or boy problems" she suggested as Ruwee only just sighed, starting to walk off,
"Jobal, you know you want to talk about it and when you do, I will be here" he informed her, leaving the kitchen before Jobal turned slowly around, to see no one standing there, making her feel very alone.
Padme giggled as Anakin moved his strong hands down her slim waist, her gentle, soft hands on his face, not wanting him to leave,
"I wish you didn't have to leave" she whispered into his ear, making him smirk,
"Me either but I can't have Qui Gon with another reason to be angry with me" he replied, coming in for one last kiss on her sweet, angelic lips, "I'll see you around" he added as she smiled,
"Hopefully, not too long" she replied, watching him hurry across the driveway and back onto the property of his own.
Until his speeder he completely disappeared, Padme only then recognised how much she really did love him, yes, she did love him, which was a surprise for her because she had never found herself truly in love before. There was Palo but she wasn't in love as much as Anakin. As she slowly turned to move back inside, she saw her sister standing there, with a slight smile on her face,
"Don't you start on me, Sola. I don't want to talk" she whispered as Sola edged her way down the stairs,
"No, I wasn't going to. I just saw you saying goodbye to Anakin and realising how much you love him and you miss him now" she replied as Padme gave a small smile,
"Thanks. At least someone does" she told her, moving inside, not seeing Sola slowly turn her head, her wavy brown hair blowing softly behind her, pulling out her comm,
"Owen, it's Sola. Tell your 'friends' I know how to cause more stirring in this town" she smiled. She was only going to be in the city for a few more weeks so she wanted her time to be memorable.
"You're only here for a short time. You better start this now" Owen informed her,
"Trust me, before I leave, this plan will be in full swing" he heard her reply before hanging up, and looking around the bait shop, full of teens that were not like him at all, making him feel uncomfortable but he did not care.
He was not like them anyway-he had no father, a mother who was always out partying and a brother who had totally changed in a matter of weeks he didn't know if he was his brother. It was time to change all this, this town needed have some trouble.
Obi Wan was hanging out in the backyard, waiting for Anakin to return, luckily he had Siri for company
"Do you think he will be more uncomfortable now that I am here?" she asked seeing Obi Wan just shook his head, "No" he simply replied, hearing Anakin's footsteps coming outside from the kitchen. Siri noticed he had not changed since last night, making her smirk,
"Someone had fun last night" she pointed out as Obi Wan laughed,
"Not what you think" he corrected her, as Anakin stopped meters before them,
"I see now, you didn't believe me before, so you called her to admit what I said was true?" Anakin teased, brushing past as Obi Wan picked up his pace to follow him towards the pool house
"Not true. I called her over because I wanted her company, just like you and Padme" he replied seeing Anakin stop in his tracks and whirl around,
"Just like Padme and me!" he exclaimed, "Just like us?" he repeated in anger "Did Padme ever something to you about not being with Satine instead no" he scoffed "Was it Siri's place to comment about last night?" he asked "No. She was out of line and made Padme more upset than she was, possible more than ever now" Anakin explained as Obi Wan held his strong glare,
"I know. I am sorry for that, but you did not have to say what you said to that degree" Obi Wan argued back, seeing Anakin head into the pool house, not before he added,
"You know, maybe you should give Satine a chance. She's less trouble" he smirked, disappearing from view.
Siri could not believe what she had heard,
"How could let him say that?" she asked, seeing Obi Wan frozen to his spot,
"I was blown off guard. I couldn't reply" he blurted out as Siri simply, seductively stroked his arm,
"Well, it's okay. I have you and that's what I want. Satine misses out" she informed him, planting a sweet, romantic kiss on his cheek, but Obi Wan's mind wondered back to Satine. Could he really have a chance with her? Last night, she was really keen in getting him to like her, so could he finally get his chance? Though he knew he wasn't like Padme, Satine or their friends in this city, he couldn't hurt Siri like Padme could simply hurt Palo
