36.

"Thank you so much, I don't know what would have happened if you weren't there to save me." The senator exits the hotel elevator.

We walk to our room followed by the senator, the bounty hunter ended up dying without giving us any names.

"Don't thank us, that's our job." Anakin replies.

We arrive in front of the door of our room, we turn to Senator Organa.

"Thank you very much again, I wish you a good night." He says.

The senator turns to me and smiles before speaking.

"I hope to see you in the Senate soon.

- I hope so too Senator Organa." I smile at the man.

The senator gives us a final bow before turning his back on us and heading back to the elevator, the doors close on him and the elevator descends. Anakin and I enter the room, Anakin takes off his suit jacket and puts it on a chair while I go to my bag and grab a robe.

I warn Anakin that I am going to shower and enter the bathroom, locking the door. I walk over to the tub and turn on the water, filling the tub. I start to undress and get into the tub, I rest my back against the end of the porcelain and close my eyes starting to relax.

But a sound snaps me out of my reverie, Anakin knocks on the door. I sigh loudly telling myself that I really can't be alone for only two minutes.

"Oriana, can we talk?

- And out of the twenty-four hours in a day you decide to come talk to me about it when I'm in the bathtub?"

There is a silence, I hear Anakin sigh and speak up.

"Please, it's not like I've never seen you naked." He says.

I sigh and tilt my head back before pulling my hand out of the water and pointing my index finger at the door lock, which I unlock with my powers. I then gather the foam towards my chest, hiding my naked body. Anakin quietly enters, closing the door behind him. I straighten my head and open my eyes seeing Anakin.

He grabs a stool and slides it across the marble floor before putting it in front of the tub and sitting on it.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" I ask nonchalantly.

Anakin lowers his eyes to the marble floor before raising them to me and deciding to speak up.

"About what happened this morning on the ship.

- Oh, you mean when you gave the speech of every politician who would dream of seeing me dead?"

Anakin's face softens, he looks like he regrets what he said on the ship, but even if he didn't mean it, the words came from somewhere. He still meant it a little.

"I didn't mean for you to take it that way.

- Well, that's a miss. Would you like to see me dead like everyone else would?" I ask.

Anakin immediately raises his eyebrows, nodding his head negatively before frowning and sliding his hand over my cheek.

"No, no. Not for anything in the world. I would never sacrifice you to save thousands of galaxies. I wouldn't let anyone hurt you." He said.

His thumb strokes my cheek before he tucks a strand of my wet hair behind my ear.

"You are all that matters to me. I'm sorry Riri, I regret what I said to you."

Arguing with him was the last thing I wanted to do, especially in these hard times. I just wanted us to enjoy each other's company as long as everything was just about right.

"It's okay." I said.

I pull my hand out of the water and grab Anakin's shirt collar before tipping him towards me. I place my lips on his and his hand dips into the water, catching my bare waist. I unbutton his shirt before Anakin helps me remove it, the white fabric falls to the ground as Anakin's other hand unbuttons his pants.

"I love you, you are all I have left. He says.

- I love you too Ani."

Anakin steps over the bathtub, joining me, continuing to kiss me languidly, I put my hand around his neck, his body comes to stick against me, electrifying my skin like a shock. His hand goes down my hips to my thigh which he starts to caress, and Anakin made love to me like he had never done before.

———

I was sleeping peacefully next to Anakin, feeling his fingertips caress my hair and the warmth of the rising sun warm my face. I slowly opened my eyes and came face to face with Anakin. A smile played on his lips.

"Good morning.

- Good morning." I smile at him.

He places a chaste kiss on my forehead before getting up from the bed and heading to his bag where he pulls out his jedi outfit, he quickly puts it on and slips into the bathroom to brush his teeth.

"I was thinking maybe we could visit Alderaan this morning before we leave?" Anakin's voice rings out from the bathroom.

I sit up and yawn as I stretch before getting out of bed.

"Yes, that's a good idea." I say as I approach the bathroom.

I lean against the door frame, looking at Anakin. He then notices me and slips his hand into the water before splashing me. I laugh and protect myself as best I can. Suddenly, someone knocks on our bedroom door.

I turn to the door and sigh, turning to Anakin who was rinsing his toothbrush.

"I'll get it." I say.

I walk away from the bathroom, heading towards the door before opening it and coming face to face with the hotel receptionist.

"Hello Senator." The receptionist addresses me.

I frown, keeping my hand on the door.

"Hello, can I help you?

- I'm here to deliver a message I was given." He says.

He looked strange, as if he had just learned some terrible news. I really wondered what could be bothering someone so much.

"What's going on?" I asked.

The receptionist takes a long breath, clearing his throat and fidgeting with his fingers. I straighten up slightly, letting my hand holding the door fall along my body. He takes a long, deep breath before finally speaking.

"Queen Padme Amidala died." He finally says.

My heart misses several beats. It takes me several moments before I realize what the receptionist had just told me. My throat immediately knots and tears well up in my eyes. I hear Anakin come out of the bathroom right behind me.

"I'm sorry for your loss, Senator. he says.

- How did she die?" I said, trying to keep my voice as firm as possible even though it threatened to crack every time I opened my mouth.

It was like my world was falling apart. Padme was my sister, my best friend, my confidant, my protege. She was one of the few people I trusted and to hear of her death so suddenly broke my heart.

"She died last night in an attack on her ship. We still don't know who launched this terrorist attack." He said.

I was free of a task I had been given years ago, but I was also now burdened with guilt. I felt guilty for not having been there for her, because if I had, I might have been able to save her. I felt a hot flash of heat, drops of sweat running down my back and forehead.

My vision was becoming blurred due to the tears that were coming to my eyes. I also felt dizzy. And at that moment I swore to myself that I would find the man who killed Padme and do to him what I had done to my sister. I rest my hand on the door handle.

"Thank you for telling me.

- You're welcome, my queen."
