LIVE IN YOUR LIGHT | anakin skywalker x fem oc

25.

We had just arrived at the apartment. I take off my white cape before putting it on the sofa. The journey in the ship was particularly quiet, none of us had spoken. The night fell about fifteen minutes ago, plunging the apartment in the dark.

I decided to go to my room, just wanting to sleep before I heard Anakin's voice calling me, I turned around, facing him.

"You could have told me you were leaving."

I don't know what to say to him. I just needed to be alone, not have him behind me the whole time. Especially after what he admitted to me yesterday. I stay silent, Anakin speaks up.

"Imagine if something had happened to you?" He says.

I look up at him before taking a deep breath, I speak up.

"But I'm fine."

A silence reigns, I couldn't tell if it's uncomfortable or not, it's just a restful silence. I don't think we had much to say to each other. I mean, I don't think Anakin has anything to say to me, but I feel like I had several things to say to him.

"I don't need you to follow me everywhere I go. I think I can take care of myself.

- I don't doubt it. What worries me is your powers, imagine if you hurt someone with them? I'm staying with you for the safety of civilians, not just yours."

But I knew he was more concerned about my safety rather than the safety of the residents. The blue lights in the living room suddenly come on, slightly illuminating Anakin's face, I catch a glimpse of his scar on his right eye. It may look odd, but it makes him even more attractive than he already is.

I regain my composure, pushing all of these thoughts out of my head before speaking up, looking down.

"I'm going to go to sleep."

Anakin nods his head up and down before taking a few steps back, he speaks up.

"Good night Senator."

He didn't call me Oriana, or princess like he usually does. And I have to admit, it gives me a big twinge of sadness. It was like we had set up this barrier between us. And I hated it. I turn my back to him before going back to my room.

I open the door, then take the initiative to close it behind me. I leave my lights off letting the moonlight illuminate my room. I sit down on my bed, slipping my fingernail between my teeth, nervous.

I'm thinking too much. When I left Padme's house, I thought about it a lot. She's right, being in love is a human feeling, I have the right to fall in love, and to be loved. I only denied my feelings for Anakin because I was afraid to let someone into my life and end up hurt. I just wanted to fulfill my mission and nothing else, after that, life wouldn't matter.

But Anakin makes me happy, he makes me happier than anyone in this vast galaxy has ever made me happy. To be in love is to be human.

But what about the Jedi Council? What will they think? I don't want Anakin to screw this up for me, for us. I bite my lip as I lower my head. Fuck that shit.

I walk to my door before getting ready to open it.

Anakin's POV

I watch Oriana return to her room. Her hips moving in her white and orange dress as she walks. Her braid falls on her back. She looks like an angel. She was wearing a rather simple dress, it was white and had a square neckline with orange flower patterns around the neckline.

The bodice and the skirt were also separated by these same orange flower patterns, and
same for the bottom of the dress. She is unreal, her beauty is unreal.

I see her closing her door behind her, I turn around, facing her door which was about twenty meters away. I lower my eyes, beginning to ask myself hundreds of questions. She haunts my thoughts and my dreams. It is a torture.

I want her, I want her so much. The more I saw her, the more this desire in me grew. I fell even more in love with her. I remember that I didn't tell her that I love her.

And even though it's not mutual, I just want her to hear it from me, I want her to know it. I sigh loudly before turning around and taking a quick step towards her door.

But just as I'm about to knock, the door abruptly opens, revealing her. She was breathing rapidly, moving her chest up and down, she is mesmerizing. She inks her gaze in mine. And here I was in front of her, in the middle of the night.
