Rey's POV--

I decided to take a night walk once Poe fell asleep. I walked past Finn and the other knights enjoying each other's company. I saw Kylo walking towards me.

"Princess."

"Kylo." I said as walked past me, "Wait."

"Yes?" He stopped and looked at me.

"I thought I would let you know that Poe and I... will be continuing on with you and the other knights."

"I shall enjoy the company."

He seemed upset. More angry. I followed him into his tent.

"Is there something else Princess?"

"No... Yes. actually. Kylo I was.... I hope you don't mind that I am asking you this, but who is your master?"

"My Master?"

"The man you take orders from."

"... Snoke..."

"Snoke? As like King Snoke? The most feared man in the entire county? Even the world?"

"yes, Snoke... he took me in, I owe him my life."

"Thank you. I just wanted to know." I turned to walk out.

"Rey." I stopped. The first time I heard him sincerely say my name. I turned around.

"Rey, do you love him...Poe?" He asked me.

"Do I love Him?"

He took off his helmet.

"Yes, Rey. Do you love him?"

"Of course I love him."

"If you weren't being forced to marry him, and you could choose. Would you choose him?

"I don't know. Yes..No.. maybe."

"What is it?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"Maybe I want to make sure you are safe."

"Why would my safety matter to you? We're enemies."

"Yes, we are."

He started moving towards me.

"It is a simple question Rey. Why is it so hard for you to answer?"

"Why must you ask?"

"My Gods, Rey. You are the most stubborn person I have ever met."

"You should take a look at yourself."

He was centimeters away. I could feel his breath. We looked into each other's eyes. I felt him drawing closer. He grabbed my shoulders. I closed my eyes and let it happen. Like I wanted it.

His lips were rough, but sweet. I kissed him back. It was passionate.

"...Rey..." He said as we separated.

I said nothing, I released myself from his grip and walked out of the tent. Once I got out, I moved my fingers to my lips. It was like he was still there.
