So I tried to write in Poe's POV near the end of the chapter. if it's bad let me know and I won't do it again. happy reading
Getting back into my room I, turned on the lights and flopped onto my bed not bothering with anything else. I rolled over and just lay there staring up at the ceiling, what a way to find out. I'd been there no more than 10 minutes before there was a knock at the door, assuming it was Lio or Arrura I got up to see which one of them it was. While opening the door I said "I told you guys I didn't want a girls night" it wasn't them, as soon as the door was open I was shutting it again. "Kayden, Kayden wait" he pushed his hand against the door and stuck his foot next to the door frame to stop me from shutting the door.
"Poe leave," I pushed the door against his foot "move your foot or I will slam this door on you"
"I'll move if you don't shut the door on me" he looked straight at me "please Kayden" he spoke softly. Sighing I let the door swing open and walked a few steps.
"What do you want Poe?"
"I want to talk, why did you slap me?"
"You should know why," there was a pause where neither of us spoke "the general told me that he was your mechanic Poe, why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought it would be better not to tell you"
"So you were just going to keep me in the dark forever?"
"No, no I was going to tell you"
"When?"
"I don't know, when we had more info on it"
"Right sure"
"Please don't be hate me"
"I don't hate you Poe I just feel betrayed. I trusted you and now I don't know if I can anymore" tears started forming in my eyes again. Poe grabbed my hand and lead me to the bed sitting down, I followed suit. "I know I'm an ass I totally dissevered to be slapped" he push some of the hair back from my face and began wiping the tears under my eyes "I only hit you because I'd just found out and it made me angry that you were talking about landing gear"
"Are you sure about that, you've made a little habit of hitting me"
I laughed a little "I suppose that true" for the most part the tears had stopped but as Poe lifted his hand to wipe the last year away he gently caressed my cheek at the same time causing me to look at him in his chocolate brown eyes. I took a second to scan over his face, a light dusting of stubble peppered his jaw, his lips slightly parted and his hair messy as if he'd run his hands through it a lot or most likely ruffled his hair after taking of his helmet. Before I could properly register what was happening his lips were on mine softly kissing, I responded. The kiss deepened and as I moved my hands to tug at the back of his hair the urgency of the kiss quicken, for some reason this twigged something in my mind causing me to jump away from Poe. He looked confused from my reaction "shit, shit"
"Kayden?" Question evident in his voice but before he said anything else I opened the door and left like a shot moving as quickly as I could to get to the shared bathroom before Poe came after me.
It had been at least and hour since I had run into the bathroom, I'd taken seat on the floor leaning against the wall. What the hell just happened, I mean we kissed right, why did that happen? I now had a shroud of even more confusion hanging over me and no idea what I was going to do about it. But first things first I had to go back to my room, maybe he wouldn't be there still. I peaked my head around the bathroom door, trying to see my room from there, in my haste I had run out leaving the door open behind me. Now the door was shut, that either meant Poe had already left or he was waiting inside, I hoped to the maker that it wasn't the latter because that would just confuse everything again and I have no idea what I would do. time to bite the bullet, I slowly walked out of the bathroom and made my way back to my room. Taking in a deep breath, I opened the door walking inside I scanned the small room, bed, desk, chair, storage and some books no handsome man with chocolate brown eyes staring back at me. he'd left, I guess anyone would have left after how I ran like that.
- Poe's POV -
She slapped me, she actually slapped me. beeping bought me out of my shocked trance. BB-8 asking why i was slapped "I have no idea buddy" I watched her walking away, unsure of weather to follow her, she had tears in her eyes and I had caused them. I sat on the nearest storage box, thinking about what I had done, if it was what I think it was I don't know how she found out but know she had she'd most likely hate me for it. I had been sat there for a little amount of time, BB-8 stayed next to me not saying a thing just watching. I stood, I had to find out if she was okay, to apologise properly and tell her everything.
I walked around the base trying to think about where she would have gone, my first thought was the lake where we had met that night, it turns out I was wrong. No beautiful girl throwing rocks and sighing at the stars. It had taken me a while to get over there and back so it was edging towards evening as I got back to the main part of the base. I decided to head towards my next port of call, the lodgings.
knocking on her door I hoped that she would be there and let me in, although it didn't go as planned as soon as she had opened the door, it was being shut on me again and I did the first thing that came to mind, putting my foot in the way to stop it from being shut. "Kayden, Kayden wait"
"Poe leave," she pushed the door against my foot "move your foot or I will slam this door on you"
"I'll move if you don't shut the door on me" I couldn't just leave not when I'd hurt her "please Kayden" with a sigh she stepped away from the door leaving it to swing open in front of me, I walked in closing the door behind me.
"What do you want Poe?" she turned to me
"I want to talk, why did you slap me?"
"You should know why," I didn't know what to say so silence spread through the room "the general told me that he was your mechanic Poe, why didn't you tell me?"
guilt over took my feelings "I thought it would be better not to tell you"
"So you were just going to keep me in the dark forever?"
"No, no I was going to tell you"
"When?"
"I don't know, when we had more info on it" I wanted myself to believe that too but I don't know if I would have told her.
"Right sure"
"Please don't be hate me"
"I don't hate you Poe I just feel betrayed. I trusted you and now I don't know if I can anymore" tears started forming in her eyes again and I was the cause all of this was my fault. grabbing her hand I led her to the bed, and sat down she did the same "I know I'm an ass I totally dissevered to be slapped" i said noticing some hair that was now stuck to her tear stained face I brushed it aside and wiped away some of the tears looking into her green/blue eyes. "I only hit you because I'd just found out and it made me angry that you were talking about landing gear"
"Are you sure about that, you've made a little habit of hitting me"
she laughed a little "I suppose that true" the tears had mostly stopped but looking into her eyes as the final tear fell, I could help my self as I caressed her check and wiped it away, leaning in and kissing the soft lips that had called me an ass but that had also laughed with me and at me. it felt amazing the softness of her lips mixed with the feeling of her face in my hands, to my surprise she responded by kissing me back as gently as I kissed her. I felt the kiss deepen and when she moved her hands to tug a little at the back of my hair I couldn't hold my self back i quickened the pace. something happened though the next thing I know Kayden is across the room swearing "shit, shit"
"Kayden?" I questioned but before anything else was said she was out of the door like a shot, I got up to follow her but when I made it to the door she had already disappeared. I went back to the bed sitting down, rubbing my hands on my face and sighing again I had made her run. I sat there for probably half an hour waiting for her to return but when there was till no sign of her I got up and left shutting the door behind me as I went. This won't make things weird at all.
