"We're running late." Poe sighs as he turns to face Finn.

"Don't stress, it's all under control." Finn exaggerates.

"I feel bad for Rey flying the ship when I was the one  who invited her to go." Poe exhales heavily. "I'm going to the cockpit" Poe gets up from the seat next to Finn and walks off.

. . .

Poe enters the cockpit and takes a seat in the passenger seat behind the pilots'. "Want me to fly?" Poe smiles at Rey as she turns around to look at him. Damn. she looks great tonight... well, she looks great every night. She has her hair down and is wearing one of Leia's rings, must be one that she gave to her in force spirit form he thinks to himself.

"Only if you feel so inclined." Rey chuckles and returns the smile. They swap seats and Rey asks; "So, what's the occasion?" Rey asks. 

"The occasion is that you defeated the most craziest sith ass hole in history and we had a victory that we all can be grateful for. We're all super proud Rey." Poe smiles.

"It was a group effort, it wouldn't have been done if you didn't take out those cannons and Finn hadn't done his part with Jannah." Rey replies.

The trio arrived outside of the Cantina. 

"Hold up Poe. You just decided to come here literally a couple hours ago. How did you manage to get a table at a place like this?" Finn asks. 

"I know someone who owns the place" Poe laughs. Impressed, Rey gestures for them to head inside. They go up this massive lift that takes them to the top of the building, Rey breathless because of the view going upwards. Poe breathless because of the view right beside him. The sun was setting and the sun reflected so beautifully on her, he couldn't help but be tranced looking at her, taking it all in. Beautiful and delicate... he thinks to himself. Sunshine. They reach the top and a worker shows them to the table. 

"The food and drinks are awfully expensive." Rey exhales.

Poe puts his hand on Reys' hand on the table. "Hey, don't stress, order what you'd like, it's a thank you from me... uh... from all of the resistance." He looks at her sincerely. She smiles and looks at him and mouths a cute "thank you Poe". Both Rey and Poe suddenly become aware of the familiarity and feeling of the touch and Poe releases his hand and shyly looks back at his menu. Why the heck was he acting like this? He usually considers himself suave around girls, he thinks that it's a different sort of love he feels for Rey... something deeper and new found.

[ [ * * * IN FINN's MIND * * *  ]] *Hmmm... smooth Poe. So it's clear they're both into each other. My plan should work. Time for my expert stalling tactics.* ] 

"Why are you grinning so much Finn?" Rey laughs and looks over at Finn with curiosity.

"Oh... no reason. Just looking at all this food... so many choices!!" Finn exclaims. Rey and Poe both laugh at their friends unmissable humour. A woman comes around to the table. 

"Can I get your order?" She asks. 

"Yeah, i'll get your special please." Poe requests.

"Same for me too please." Rey nervously and guiltily requests. Poe seems to notice and puts his hand on her thigh. He feels Rey soften and release her tense in her body. She smiles at him and he supportively rubs it before releasing.
