Anakin hadn't spoken a single word as he scowled at the pair, the tension in the air only thickening with the uncomfortable silence. Ahsoka noticed what she walked in on seconds after her announcement, because she gave me an apologetic look as she mouthed an 'I'm sorry', and I waved my hand in dismissal, feeling slightly grateful. Piett on the other hand, may have noticed as well that Anakin was about to kiss me, but it was hard to tell given the scared shitless expression he was currently holding.

I was so caught up in the moment that I almost leaned into the kiss myself, and now that I'm somewhat in the right head space—since I'm still high on the edible, but not high off the tension—I'm not sure it would've been a good idea to allow that to happen. I know getting close to him is what Kenobi wants from me, and I really thought it'd be easy which is why I said yes in the first place. But my morals and guilt over using him and basically cheating on my husband were currently weighing on my chest. And I can't help but constantly think to myself that maybe I wasn't cut out for this kind of work like I thought, I've always been an emotional person.

Nevertheless, I can't deny that my heart was still beating strong and it intensified every-time I looked at Skywalker. And despite my guilt, it was followed by the urge to finish what we started — my mind is a confusing mess right now and I one hundred percent blame the drug. I know once I'm sober, these unfaithful amorous thoughts will leave as quickly as they came.

"Are you going to say something or just stare?" Ahsoka finally asked as she folded her arms over her chest.

I was still sitting on top of the counter with Anakin between my legs, his hands resting on the counter next to my thighs while his cologne intoxicated me, "Couldn't you see that I was in the middle of something?" He finally spoke as he stood up straight and removed his hands from the counter, his body now facing their direction.

His little sister and best friend were stunned by his response, "Do you-" She began, her brows knitting, "Do you not care about what I just said?" She raised her and Piett's joint hands up like she was making sure he knew exactly what she was saying.

"If you two really think I didn't know, you're dumber than I thought." His words sounded muffled, like a gravitational pull was whipping the sound of his voice away from me, and my head began to spin, "I've known for months and I don't care, I was just waiting to see which one of you would have the cojones to tell me."

"Wait, but how did you find out?" Ahsoka questioned, her voice sounded just as disoriented as her brothers.

What the hell was happening to me?

"It wasn't hard, you two haven't exactly been subtle. Like seriously Piett, your constant ogling of her gave it away before anything else. And there was a time when you came to talk to me with lipstick on your collar, a shade I knew she was wearing that night because she forced me to pick it for her when she was being indecisive," He rolled his eyes just as I gripped the counter to stop myself from falling over like I felt like I was. Seconds later there was a warm touch on my cheeks. Anakin held my face and pulled my dazed gaze to him, "Hey, are you okay?" He asked with sincerity now that he noticed my unsteady condition.
