What She Has Forgotten

Chapter Twelve: I tried

Rey's POV - -

I sat in the living room watching shows that I don't remember seeing. Netflix is wonderful. The doorbell rang. Poe was no where to be found. I uncurled myself from my blankets and put my slippers on and scuffled to the door. When I answered it I saw Kylo standing there with a bag in his hand.

"Kylo?"

"Ya, I texted Poe, he said you were sick.." he smiled and lifted up the bag, "I brought some soup."I gestured him in. He walked in. I sat down on the couch and he followed.  I unrolled the bag and smelt a great smell that I know and love. I opened up the container to see my favorite soup.

"Did Poe tell you? "

"Tell me what?" He asked.

"That this was my favorite kind of soup."

"No.  I just guessed. "

" Well.  My mom used to make it, but when she died I would buy it, but it's always been my favorite. "

"Then I did good? "

"You did great!" I smiled at him. We sat talking about school as I finished my soup.

Kylo's POV - - -

She eventually got up. Now. Ask her now. She walked into the kitchen and threw the container away. 

"Rey?"

"Ya?"

" My parents are coming down for a very formal event... and they are dragging me along and requiring me to bring a date. Would you... be my date?"

"Oh. That sounds lovely when is this event?" I smiled.

"Saturday. Saturday at 6 in the afternoon. "

"I would love to but, I am afraid I promised Finn I would go to a similar event with him and his parents on Saturday. "

"Oh, well it's okay. I've gotta go Rey."

"Well we should hang out sometime. "
"I would like that. .. bye Rey. " I  quickly walked out the door. I started getting into my car.

"Kylo." I  looked up, " Thank you. " She said.

"For what?"

"The soup. It meant a lot."

"Ya, anytime." I got into my car and drove off. 

Once I got home I was completely done.

"Well how did it go?"

"It didn't.  I told you Finn is always there."

"He was at her house. "

"No. He already asked her to the exact same event."

"Oh."

"Gwen?"

"Ya?"

"Will you go with me?"

"Yes, of course I will Kylo.  I thought you would ask Hux first. "

"Can't my mother forbade me from taking Hux." She laughed.

"Well. I. Better go get me a dress." She set a plate of food in front of me and wandered off.  I sighed. Well. I tried.
