Don't leave my side ever again

Chapter 64- The explanation

When I was ready to leave, I grabbed the bag with my stuff, my helmet and head to the slave 1 since I didn't really know where I can get a ship in this planet. I waited inside the guest room for Boba to take me somewhere and leave me there for good. As I waited, I felt my eyes water while my mind replays that moment I wish to erase 'why? Why would he kiss her? Didn't what we had last time meant something to him?' Soon, my tears filled my eyes and eventually run down my cheeks like a small waterfall. My fist clench tightly making a sound with the leather of the glove, feeling like I wanted to punch something or in this case, someone. Anger consumed me on the inside, I never felt so much anger in my life and it was dangerous for someone to feel anger when I learned that it was one of the steps that leads to the dark side and even though I should be following my fathers footsteps to become a sith, it scared me...alot.

I don't know how it feels to carry so much power, would it hurt me in the process of learning? Would it consume me to the point I can't be helped? "Calm down...don't think about it" I told myself in a shaky hurt voice. "Kira? Kira where are you?!" Boba's voice was muffled yet audible as I was below ground and he was upstairs. 'Should I-' "no! Don't answer him!" I told myself, stopping me to tell him where I was and instead let him find me. Heavy Footsteps was heard nearby until the run against the sand turn to run against metal, indicating me that he was running the hatch of the ship. I huffed annoyed as tears continue to run down my cheeks. "Kira please! Let me explain to you what happened! Its not what it looked like!" His voice was desperate but it wasn't enough for me to just go and talk to him just like that when my heart just got betrayed by the one I loved. The sound of him running echoed through the small hall of the ship when it shortly comes to a stop.

"Sweetheart?" My body stiffens up at the sound of his voice behind me. I turn my head away and down, staring at my lap and keeping my fists tight as the sound of his heavy boots approach me. Boba threw something on the bed behind me as I noticed him crouch down in front of me, I saw he wasn't wearing his helmet so I think it was the helmet that he threw on the bed. He moves his eyes landing at my clenched hands and shakily lifts his hand to rest on top of my fist. "S-sweetheart? Lets talk, I can explain-" "explain what?! The kiss you had with that twi'lek?!" I exclaim, feeling more tears forming and falling. Boba noticed a tear falling off my cheek and landing on my armor as he then closes his eyes, regretting what he did. "It's not what it looked like Kira, let me just explain, you'll maybe understand, please" he gently squeezed my fist with his large hand. "But please don't cry" I noticed him trying to touch my cheek under the helmet but I immediately slap his hand away, causing him to let out a sigh.

"Don't you dare try to touch me and explain!" I yelled as I pushed away the hand that was squeezing my fist. The hunter stared at my T shaped visor completely upset before he lowers his head "honey, im going to explain since the beginning okay?" He looks up again waiting for my response. "Whatever just be quick, I don't have time for this" I shrugged. The bounty hunter carefully sat down on the floor keeping his hand on his lap, restraining himself so that he doesn't touch me like I told him and began to explain from the beginning, when I was still asleep. Telling me that he and Bossk were talking trying to sort their problems until Bossk offered Boba an escape for me and him, something that can let Boba slowly trust Bossk again, but since Khali had a crazy obsession with Boba, he needed to keep her away, in this case, on that room I found them so that Bossk can guide me out of the house.

But the plan failed when Bossk tumbled those boxes filled with robot parts that caused the huge noise. "I did saw Bossk walk pass the room first but I didn't saw you, so when those boxes fell down, I panicked cause I knew you were there and couldn't afford to get you in trouble-" I cut him off "so you kissed her?" My voice let my question sound rough. He exhale sharply as he close his eyes and nod a yes. I scoffed "unbelievable" I stood up and walk away from him. "But don't worry" The hunter suddenly spoke. I lift a brow under my helmet and turn around to him standing up as-well "why is that?" I cross my arms. "Because I killed her" he responded as soon as I finished my question. My arms involuntarily uncross themself while I stared at the hunter shocked. Boba opened his mouth to speak as he made his way towards me "I shot her on the head with my rifle, she's dead, she wont be a bother to us anymore" his voice changed to a sinister/ proud of himself assassin.

His confession made me be lost for words, my eyes never leaving the hunters eyes didn't give me the chance to react to him talking my helmet off revealing me face to him. The tears that ran down my cheeks dried out leaving marks on them. He obviously noticed the trace mark of the dried up tear and leaned in on my cheek and place a kiss over it. "She's gone baby, now we can be happy with ought having to worry about her" my eyes stared at nothing, feeling somewhat bad for that twi'lek, sure she was a bother to us, but did she deserve to die? I don't think so. "W-why did you kill her? Couldn't you just- i don't know...let her-" "let her live so she can find us and tell Aurra where we are? I don't think so" I begins as his hand reached for mine and intertwined his fingers on mine. "Besides, I'm an assassin, it what I do, you should know this by now...I kill the people who gets in my way and now"

He suddenly place his other hand on the low part of my back and pulls me to him, our chests press against each other while my free hand land on his armored chest. "I'll kill the people who try to get to you, no one will try to bother you or take you away" My heart rate builds up as I listen to everything he's saying and at the same time, I was thinking if he was the same Boba I met. He was acting different, more menacing, it was unsettling for me especially the look in his eyes, those killers eyes, it frightened me. "Boba? Are you okay?" A deep chuckle came out of him before he spoke "why wouldn't I be sweetheart?" His brows frown giving me a normal look again it was like I was imagining things. I examined his eyes and they were normal, soft like how he always look at me whenever we're alone 'was my mind playing tricks on me?' I thought. His large hand cups my chin gently, making me look at him. "You alright?" He asks softly. "I-I I don't know, as soon as you told me that you killed that Twi'lek, and telling me that you'll kill everyone that comes in our way or take me away, you had this killers eye look and voice...it was so sinister, it scares me"

Boba nods understanding what I just explained and place a kiss on my forehead "Lets get things clear first, if someone ever tried to get in our way and or take you away, I will warn them first, if they don't listen then their lives are a stake" he shrugged at the last part. "But I will NEVER! Look at you and talk to you that way alright?" His thumb rubs my cheek gently and in a reassuring way that at least soothed me a little bit "okay" I reply. He place another kiss on my forehead before he lets go on my hand and brings me to a tight embrace. "I'm deeply sorry I kissed her, I didn't know what to do at the time...I could've killed her but my rifle was sitting on a corner away from me and if I took my chances to get it, she would've caught you by then" his hand stroke my long black hair gently as his voice was soft and ashamed for the event. I hugged the hunter back before I respond "I understand...but please, don't do it again" I meant to take another dumb decision and kiss another person. "I won't...my lips are only yours" he chuckled, knowing he sounded cringe.

I giggled "I hope so" I said.
