I Need You
Chapter 15
There was a soft knock at the door to Senator Amidala's apartment.
"Sabe, could you get that, please?" Padme called from her office.
"Yes, Milady," the young handmaiden replied, walking briskly to the door. She opened it to be greeted with the kind face of Obi Wan Kenobi.
"Hello, Milady," he said, sweetly.
"Master Kenobi, this is a pleasant surprise," she replied, softly. Her heart began to beat faster in her chest. Too bad he was a Jedi and they couldn't marry. Though Lady Amidala was getting married to Anakin Skywalker. Now that was a smart match, very smart.
"I came here to look for my Padawan, his comlink's switched off and he was coming here to lunch with the Senator." Obi Wan said, brushing the edges of his fringe out of his sparkling blue eyes.
"I'm afraid he left some time ago, was in a terrible rush. Didn't even tell Milady where he was going." She informed him.
"I see, thank you for your time, Milady," he said, turning to leave.
"Please, stay awhile, I'm sure Anakin will be back soon and in the meantime we could have a cup of tea while we wait. Milady is working and it is so frightfully boring for me," she said softly.
"Alright, I suppose there's no real harm," he said and she lead him into the luxurious apartment. Once they both had steaming mugs in their hands, the two sat together on one of the sofas.
Sabe started talking but Obi Wan soon lost what she was talking about, he was too mesmerised by her beautiful, deep eyes, her swaying hair, her melodic voice, her full lips, her shapely body, the way her clothes fit loosely across her. He smiled, she was wonderful. Not as angelic or heavenly as Senator Amidala, who was a very attractive woman, but a beautiful, earthly woman. He sighed, how he wanted her. He may have loved a padawan previously but no, Sabe was more than that. Damn the code, now he knew how Anakin had felt earlier.
Suddenly he found his lips on hers and they kissed, gently. They pulled apart and gazed into each other's eyes.
"I'm sorry, Milady, when Anakin comes back tell him to come to my room at the temple," he said and rushed to the door.
"Obi Wan, wait," she said, watching him go.

"Good afternoon, Chancellor," Anakin said, entering the office.
"Ah, none of those silly dignitaries now, my friend," the Chancellor replied, offering Anakin a seat. "I haven't seen you in such a while, Anakin," he said, while a hand served them both drinks, "I wasn't aware the Council had given you another mission."
"Not quite, I've been to visit my family-in-law," he told the other man.
"Oh, when did this happen, Anakin?"
"Recently, I found the woman I love is pregnant with my child. We confessed our love and I proposed to her," he said taking a deep swig of the expensive Corellian Whisky.
"How have the Council taken this, you have told them, have you not?"
"I have, they took it better than I thought. I didn't give them the choice. It was either this or I threatened to leave the order." He admitted.
"Ah, a wise choice on their part I believe. To loose you would be a huge loss for them," Palpatine agreed.
"I'm glad you think so," Anakin said.
"How could I not?" the Chancellor asked.
"I have come for some advice," Anakin said, smiling at the Chancellor's previous comment.
"About woman?" Palpatine asked, raising an eyebrow.
"About my Fiancée," Anakin corrected, "I told you about my dreams of my Mother's death before she died, did I not?"
"You did."
"Now I have the same dreams about my Angel dying in childbirth. The Jedi told me to ignore the dreams, but I can't, I love her so much." He finished.
"No, you cannot ignore these dreams, they are jealous that you have a lover while they cannot, she will die."
"How do I save her?" Anakin pleaded.
"Have you ever heard the tale of Darth Plagueis the Wise, Anakin?"
"No, I don't think I have," Anakin said.
"He was a very powerful Sith, so powerful he even learnt to stop death. He taught all he knew to his apprentice, who of course in the Sith tradition killed him in his sleep." Anakin listened intently.
"How do you know all this?" Anakin asked, suddenly worried.
"I am his apprentice," Palpatine said, simply, "join me and together will we save your Fiancée."
"What, but my Lord?" Anakin stuttered, "I need to think about this."
"Very well, you know where I am," the Sith Lord grinned.
"Goodnight," Anakin said, quickly rushing out of the Senate office.
"Good evening, my Young Apprentice. Together we shall rule the galaxy. He is powerful, so powerful. A great ally, he will become," Darth Sidious whispered.
