chapter 10 the date part I

3rd person POV: 

"anakin how much longer are you going to take in there?!" obi wan stated from outside the bathroom door. "Just one more minute." anakin replied from behind the door. " You know i would believe you, but you said that six minutes ago." obi wan retorted flatly. "What is it you're doing any way  anakin." he asked unsure if he even wanted to know. "Preparing for my date." "oh right, but you have been in there for a while." " well i have to look good." "soooo when i your date again." obi wan smirked from his side of the door already knowing the answer. "Seven." "Well, it's seven fifteen so you may want to get moving." obi wan broke down in laughter as Anikan burst from the door. sprinting to his room babbling, he then ran from his door jacket now in hand as he bolted out the door, leaving. obi wan the bathroom all for himself.

padme POV:

18 minutes. 

i have been waiting 18 minutes.

we had agreed to meet at Dexter's for dinner at 7. it was now 7:18, Jesus how long does it take to get here. then again that is anakin for you, always late to important things, only because of obi wan's punctual personality was he usually on time. 

* ding *

the chime of the diner's bell that hangs above its door announces the arrival of a new patron, peering out of the booth I'm met with anakin as he glances over the diner searching or me. his eyes land on me and he begins walking over to me. " Sorry padme." he exhales before inhaling to pace his breathing. it appears he had sprinted here by the state he was in. "lost track of time while i was getting ready." "That's fine, you're here now." i reply. we silently sit there for the next minute. " Should we order." i ask, in a poor attempt at breaking the tension. "Sure." the waitress, Florence or simply Flo comes by pen and notebook in hand. "Hiya padme, anakin you two waiting on your friends or just the two of ya." she greets in her cheery tone. " Just us, thanks Flo." at this her i glint a hint of surprise and joy. " Well then what will you be ordering."

Dex's pov:

Flo walks back behind the counter, peering her head through the opening into the kitchen."'nother order Dex. and guess who's it is." she says. i give her a quick blank stare and walk up to the window to look where she is pointing.  at the end of her finger i see padme and anakin sitting in a booth. i notice a visible nervousness on both teens, and then there's the fact that they are not with their friend's other than cody and fives who are on their shift. look I'm not stupid and i run a decently popular diner, I've seen this happen with many of the youths that live around here. i fall back to my position at the prep table. i have known that these two had a mutual affection for one another for a time, being relatively close with obi wan i have gotten to know his friends. heck i even hired a few of them since I've been needing extra staff. a giddy smile crosses my face at the happiness these kids can have. 

A/N so been a while  heck its been 11 months geez did not think it was that long. but i have been having thoughts and a simple concept that i hate it when i am reading a story and its not done and i know it never will be. so im coming back or at least i hope i will cant make promises.
