Disclaimer: I own nothing of Lucas Films and I'm making no money off of this story.

I forgot to put in my last chapter that is a rewrite of my last story Holton Deception, it was originally written 3 years ago and when I reread it a few days back I was frankly quite horrified with my work, so I decided to scratch the whole story and start anew.

Chapter II Lips of an Angel

After his lesson with Ahsoka, Anakin slipped out of the Temple once more for the day. He pulled up his hood deeply over his face so no one would or could recognize him. The sun had set on Coruscant, but the crowds on the street were no more packed than they were earlier that day. Luckily Anakin could move fast through packed streets. He wished he had a speeder, but since he had used one already today he couldn't go out without some nosy Jedi bothering him.

Anakin's secret bore heavily on him. It was a shame that he had to keep his love hidden when all he wanted to do was shout out to the highest mountain that he loved Padme Amidala. Sometimes he wondered how long this secret could last. My heart is so bursting full with love it is amazing that Obi-Wan or Yoda hasn't noticed anything. Anakin smiled to himself: I must be really powerful to keep such a secret.

The walk to the 500 Republica wasn't very long. Anakin knew a shortcut that could get him there in ten minutes. He used a back entrance so no guard or manager would come hounding after him. He hoped Padme was home by now. She wasn't there earlier and he had to go all the way to the Senate Building to see her.

He hadn't been able to talk to her there either even though he waited for her for the whole afternoon. She was a very busy woman of course, but Anakin thought maybe she should slow down a little bit. Anakin knew he sounded selfish, but he secretly wished she could devote a little more time to him. He also worried that she was working herself to death, she was very passionate about her work and would go beyond the normal boundaries of a senator to get whatever she believed was right.

Anakin went up the secret stairway and found himself to Padme's apartment. He knocked on the door. C-3PO answered the door a few short moments later. Anakin decided to play a joke on the gullible droid and his wife too. Anakin drew his hood more over his face to conceal his features. "I wish to see Senator Amidala."

"See Senator Amidala? At this hour?" asked See-Threepio incredulously. "I am sorry but Senator Amidala has already retired however if you just give me your name, I'll tell her that you called."

"I must see her now!" Said Anakin gruffly. He smiled under his hood imagining the fussy droid's displeasure.

"I am afraid that is quite impossible," said Threepio."If you do not leave the premises now I will have to contact authorities"

Anakin reached out and grabbed the droid by his face. "Let me in now!"

Threepio waved his arms about trying to get away from this very rude and dangerous stranger. "Help! Help!"

The noise alerted Padme. She came running out. "What's going on? Threepio? Who is there?"

"Someone is trying to break in Mistress! Mumbled Threepio. "Stay away! Alert the authorities! Leave me I'll be okay. I'm not worth that much."

Padme recognized the 'intruder.' "Ani, stop. The poor droid is frantic."

Anakin let Threepio go. "Hey Padme, did I surprise you?"

Threepio recovered himself. "Master Anakin ,you sufficiently surprised me."

Padme laughed. "No, I was expecting you, I saw you at the Senate this afternoon." She was dressed in a light pink shimmersilk nightgown. Her hair was braided and was tossed over her shoulder.

Anakin drank in the image of his wife and took a moment to reply. "Yes, I was there. I missed you."

"I am sorry I wasn't here when I said I was going to be, "said Padme. "A emergency meeting of the Senate about what to do with a planet that used to be neutral but, recently became under Separatist control. We think that the ruler of the country as forced to form a treaty with the Separatists….we were deciding what to do."

"You senators talk too much, grumbled Anakin. "There should be less deliberating and more action."

"Anakin, I wish things could move on faster, but we must take consideration of everyone's opinion and that takes time," said Padme rubbing her forehead. "If we didn't we wouldn't be a Republic we would be an Empire."

"Okay, okay," said Anakin taking Padme's shoulders. "I didn't come here for a political debate." He presses his lips to her forehead.

"Why did you come here then?" asks Padme teasingly. "I am a Senator after all."

"I came here for you," murmurs Anakin. He kisses her lips.

Padme kisses back, a hard pressing kiss. "How long are you staying? All night?"

"Yes, all night if no one comms me," said Anakin, scooping her up in his arms. He takes her to their bed.

Next morning before dawn and before his beloved got up, Anakin snuck out and went back to the Temple. He goes into Ahsoka's bedroom and shakes her awake. "Rise and shine sleepyhead, we got some early morning training to do."

Ahsoka groans. "No, 5 more minutes please."

"No," said Anakin."See you in the training room in 10 minutes."

I'm sorry about the weak ending to the chapter! I've been sick all week and I'm afraid it shows in my writing, it will be better next chapter! All in all this was a very hard chapter to write because I didn't want to get to fluffy and I wanted to get Anakin and Padme's relationship right
