They walked awkwardly quiet until they arrived to a meeting room where there were already some other employees. A dark skinned woman with short black was waiting, after they both entered the room, she gave them an annoyed look and continued with her speech
Rey chose where to seat and Kylo followed her and sat beside.
- As I was saying... Hi, my name is Leslie and I'm the director of the technician department. In short words, I'm your boss. I hope that all of you enjoy your work, sometimes it seems as it will never finish, but believe me you'll get to like it. I'll be handling you some data pads that will cover the function of communicators so that all of you know where you should report to work, they also count with a map of the base, because, you know... Usually the new ones get lost and we don't have time for a guided tour. If you need any assistance I'm always available, my data pad code is already programmed in yours.
Then, a presentation began to show in the huge Holo projector, it was mainly about rules and protocol, Kylo was just thinking: bla, bla,bla boring, While Rey was taking notes in her new data pad.
Kylo couldn't help but notice how beautiful Zazil looked when she was concentrated like that.
While she was not taking notes, she would take her stylus pen to her mouth, he couldn't think anything else but how sexy her lips were, so gorgeous… rosy pouty small filled lips. He continued staring at her face, he noticed a pair of big hazel eyes framed by long thick dark eyelashes fixed in the presentation, and when she blinked he'd feel his insides shaking, during his life he'd seen millions of stars but none of them could twinkle like her eyes did, full of curiosity, truly windows to her soul.
Suddenly she felt him staring and she looked back at him, his thoughts were interrupted when she smiled and he blushed, giving her a shy smile in return while he looked down to his data pad, he hadn't written anything at all and the only thing in it were some doodles of a varactyl spitting fire... or at least, that's what they were supposed to be…
Rey continued to take notes, now the only thing that Kylo could think about was how beautiful her smile was so sweet, so warm.
He wanted nothing more than to be back in his position as the commander of the first order and hire her as his own personal assistant just to watch her take notes like that all day long, he was already imagining how he will want her uniform to look like when he bitterly remember that he couldn't do that because now he was just Matt.
Finally the "brief" introduction was over but it was too late to start work so everyone had the rest of the evening to do whatever they want.
Matt spoke first he was nervous because his perception of her had change
- So… uhm, would you like to hang out for the rest of the day? We could go watch the Holo TV or... or play videogames
- Holo TV and videogames? I thought only the high ranked personnel had access to those stuff
- Oh, sure… (Think fast, remember that now you are just a stupid radar technician with no privileges... Got it!)… Only officers have access to them but you should know that I'm a close friend of Kylo Ren, he gave me the password to the arcade room and he also told me that today there will be no one there, because they have uhm… an important meeting with him
How in the world could Kylo Ren befriended a guy like Matt? Rey thought
- Oh, really? Well… sounds cool
- Great! Matt said with a big awkward smile in his face
An uncomfortable minute went by and Rey finally spoke…
- So, shall we get going
- Huh? Oh, sure sure! just, wait here a minute don't move, I'll be back briefly he said nervously as he practically ran out of the meeting room
What a strange guy Rey said out loud to herself as she sat back into the chair and waited
Kylo was frenetically typing a message to all the high ranked personnel that was not very detailed and read:
Subject: Urgent meeting.
Where: Formal meeting room.
When: Immediately.
Required: Everyone
After he made sure everyone was aware, he went back to where Rey was waiting
He arrived to the room running
- We can go know he said panting
Rey stood up and followed him, he introduced a code and then he placed his hand over the scanner, the door slid open shortly after.
The room was huge and the walls were covered in big HD screens which irradiated blue, red, purple lights
- Wow, I can't believe this place, its amazing Matt! Said the girl with shiny eyes and a huge smile in her face
Kylo was standing behind her near the door, he observed her as she explored the room full of excitement. The lights reflected in her made her look even prettier... as if that was even possible Kylo thought.
- You like it? It's pretty cool huh? Kylo is a great guy for letting us use it don't you think?
Rey thought that she will have to get used to that name if he continued to hang out with Matt, so she played along, either way she was having so much fun and she wasn't letting him ruin that moment for her when he wasn't even present.
- Yeah I bet he is… anyways, let's play something, you choose she said enthusiastic
Matt slightly smiled because she finally said something kind of nice about Kylo and so they played for a while when suddenly Kylo's data pad began to ring.
- Uh oh, he said while looking at the screen and dropping the toy gun that he was holding
- What happens? Asked Rey worried as she paused the game
- Uhm, yeah, everythin´s fine I just have to go answer this call, wait here
He ran again to a place where Rey couldn't see him, he removed his glasses and wig and he answered the Holo call, it was Hux and he was angry
- You never get tired of annoying me and the entire crew right? Where the fuck are you? we've been waiting for you to appear for more than an hour, weren't we supposed to be having an "urgent meeting"?
- Sorry Hux, I had to take care of, of something, please lead the meeting for me I'll explain everything to whenever I can
- Ugh, all right, but what is this "meeting" supposed to be about? What do I say to everyone?
- Oh, right… Tell them... ask them to…
- Matt are you ok? Rey called from the distance
Fuck! He paused the call and yelled back: yeah I'm fine, everything is ok, I'm coming
- Ok, fine
He recovered the call
- What happened? You are acting very very strange Ren.
- I know I know, but I'll explain ok? For now please help me I really need you to tell everyone that we need to discuss the…
Kylo was trying to think of something to use as an excuse when he read the words "Bantha racing" in an arcade game
- The what? Hux asked annoyed
- Tell them to discuss the importance of having a day a month for bantha races
- What, are you insane? What the…
Kylo interrupted abruptly
- Just do it! Please
- Fine, he said with a sigh
Kylo ended the call and Hux spoke to the data pad "I'm going to kill him"
Kylo quickly replaced his disguise and ran to meet Rey who was playing space invaders.
- I'm sorry but we have to leave
- Aww... She said with disappointment in her voice, "Game over" appeared on the screen, can we come again some other time?
He smiled... (she really liked this, she wants to come again!)
- Sure, we can
