Poe wants me to show him around. And he wants to stay in a hotel. Why was Poe doing this? And in Canto Bight? The most horrible place in the galaxy. Well I didnt think so when I first went there until after Rose showed me what was happening behind all the 'fancy and rich', I dont think I can even go there again but we are going to land there so, I dont have a choice. And also Poe wants to spend time with me so.... I guess I'll be fine.
     But Poe... can I even be alone with him? No. I should not think about it. Im just going to enjoy myself with Poe.
     I hope Rose will be okay. 3P0 and BB-8 have already confirmed they'll take care of her but to be cautious, I asked General Leia to keep an eye on her too. I wanted to ask Rey but she seems busy and I dont really want to make things awkward. We did just admit our feelings that we had for each other and I also dont want to bother her. She seems busy and stressed with the Falcon and being The Last Jedi.
      Im packing all my things and I grab Poe's jacket that he gave to me. I look at it as if im looking for something and bring it to my face to only smell it, hoping that it would smell like... Poe. But of course it didnt. I have worn it so many times that it now smells like me.
     I put it on and remember the first time we met, the time where we saw each other when the Resistance saved Rey, Chewie, Han and I. He was so happy to see BB-8 again. And also me. I wanted to give the jacket back but he told me to keep it. That it looked good on me. I think thats the first time i ever thought of.... Wait. What? Didnt I... about Rey? And he...
      THUUDD!!.
       Well it turns out we just landed. In Cantonica. At Canto Bight to be exact. To fuel up. I hope this doesnt turn into something.. unexpected. I grab my bag and walk out of the room. Everyone is going out apparently but then i realised i cant be seen in Canto Bight. They will arrest me. Oh no.
        A hand touches my shoulder "Hey, Finn. Ready to go." It was Poe. He was wearing another jacket that almost looked like the jacket im wearing and the same looking trousers that I have seen him wear since we first met while carrying a white duffel bag. " I forgot to tell you, Poe, that I cannot be seen  in Canto Bight. They will want to arrest me after what happened the last time I was here." I said to him, worried and also a bit disspointed which means we can't do this. Then, he says "Oh, right. What was i thinking?". I apologised after that and almost walked away when he said "Ive got an idea."
    
     We walk towards the main town area of Canto Bight and its just like I remeber. Filled with rich people and aliens spending money on entertainment and to get money, if they were lucky, of course. Poe tried to walk as natural as ever but failed because he was probably regretting the idea he suggested to keep me hidden from the police force in Canto Bight. He got one of General Leia's old gigantic long shawls and draped all over me, covering every inch of my body including my head. The only things exposed were my shoe covered feet and my face which I am hoping is being covered by the overlap of the shawl on head.
     I catch up to him and say "Do you really think that no one is going to notice a black skinned man wearing a very itchy long shawl?" And he says "Shut up, okay. I'm already nervous as it is and nobody seems to notice so, lets just go with it, okay?" I sigh until I run out of air "Fine. Keep moving. And Im not going to be with you when you book the rooms." I tell him.
     He stops. He turns to me. "Rooms?" He says with a smirk. "You are getting more than one, right?" I say as he turn back and we continue walking in town. "Where's the fun in that?" Ughhhh. I dont really know what he is trying to pull here but I cannot argue with him right now. My life is on the line right now so, im going to keep my mouth shut.
      We finally reach the nearest hotel called 'The Burning Star stay-in hotel". Interesting choice of a name of a hotel. It doesnt give anyone anxiety or anything that the hotel or the planet can burn and explode like a star or get exploded from another Death Star or Starkiller or something like that.
      We go in and there is no one around except for the three hotel receptionists. The one on the right is a green skinned lady with antenna's sprouting out of her forehead. The on the left was a big white Wookie and in the middle was woman who almost seemed human. She had auburn hair, fair skin but she had ears bigger than her own body. Like I said, almost human.
         Poe walks up to the one with big ears while I sit on of the big sofa's made of brown leather that didnt feel like leather. Thoughts came to my head that someone skinned something to make this sofa so, I decided to just stand and not to draw attention on myself to keep myself hidden.
         "One suite for me and my wife" Poe says checking in. Wife??!! He really is trying his best to get us killed. Isn't he? They talked somemore. He signed something and he came up to me with the key.
        Then we walked to the egg-shaped elevator. He pressed the button that showed up and the door immediately opened. We went in and he pressed button 40. The last number on the series of numbers of the floors here. "We're staying in the last floor?" I ask. "Yup" he says.
        
       We reach the floor and elevator door opens to a hallway that has three doors. Its a very long hallway and it got me thinking how big the rooms were. We were going to the third door. He scanned the key card on the flat door handle that did not even look like a door handle and the door opened to an almost big and homey looking suite.
        There was Queen size bed on the other side of the room. There was a desk 10 inches away from the bed facing sideways from the big window showing the scenery of the beach. Looking at it reminded of me of when Rose and I rode the Fathiers on the beach trying to escape from here.
          I finally get to take the shawl off. Taking it off made me realise that my shirt beneath my jacket was wet with sweat. I took of the jacket and the feeling of the air conditoning of the room just crawled all over me. It started to feel cold.
        "Hey, Im going to shower unless you want to shower first. You kind of stink from all the layers." Poe says closing his nose. Did I smell that bad? I raise my armpits to smell to be sure and oh yeah, it was bad. "Yeah I should shower." I grab my bag into the bathroom which looks too fancy to even touch and close the door behind me. I start dying of embarassement of Poe noticing how I smell like. And smelling my pits in front of him. What was I thinking?
