padme
Padme had exhaustingly entered her grand apartment confined within the busy city of Coruscant. It was late, as the darkness succumbed to the cool air and the bright lights from the colossal buildings emitted onto each other, forming dark shadows reflecting each other.
Padme had quite enjoyed living in the large city, with the night lights, the partying and the colourful billboards. It was good for her as the Senate was situated here which was convenient as she could easily go to and fro there. Plus, whenever Anakin came back from a mission, he'd always return to Coruscant as the Jedi Temple was located in the very heart of the city, so seeing each other was not that much of a problem.
But then again, it was.
Of course when Padme and Anakin had vowed to live their life together, they had expected this sort of life as they both knew the consequences of their secret marriage. Anakin was always away, depending on the mission, Padme never knew how long her husband would be gone for, whether it be a couple of days, weeks or even months. And although his duties came first, she just wished that they could live a normal life together and that the strict jedi code of attachment never existed in the first place. But Padme knew better, and she always lectured herself for thinking that way despite how much it hurt her.
As she flicked on the lights, her apartment brightly lit up, and she was greeted by Threepio
"Mistress Padme, how very lovely to see you back" he greeted cheerfully. "How was your day at the senate? Would you like me to run any errands?"
Padme smiled at her companion
"Why my day at the Senate was alright I suppose, it was quite tiring but that just comes with being a Senator" she chuckled lightly. "And no, you don't have to do anything for tonight, I'm awfully tired and I'm just going to head to bed" she yawned slightly.
"Very well then, goodnight Mistress Padme" and with that Threepio waddled away
"Goodnight Threepio" she replied
Padme was glad she had Threepio despite his constant chattering, she quite liked his presence even if she did zone out sometimes. It made her feel less alone.

Later that night, Padme had retired to her room where she had undressed from her elegant Senator gown, and into her silky night dress. She had taken her tight up-do down into her natural honey curls which reached to the slight of her waist. Anakin had always told her how much he adored her curly hair, and how he always told her she looked like an angel.
As she got into the comfort of the her bed, she peered at the stars from the large window across her bedroom, and thought about Anakin. She imagined him fighting endlessly in some distant planet far away from her, and she wondered if he was thinking of her. Padme always slept on Anakin's side of the bed whenever he was away, she just longed for him and his pillow gave off the sweet scent of her loved one.
"I miss you Ani"
Her eyes had suddenly felt very heavy, and as they lightly fluttered shut, she dreamt of the next time she could see her husband. She imagined him holding her in his strong arms, or how she would stare into his piercing crystal blue eyes for eternity. She thought about when she could kiss his soft lips onto hers, or embrace the warmth of his body, succumbing to the overwhelming sensations of safety and security under his anchoring hold.
Anakin...
Oh Anakin.
Come back to me.
Please.
This was one of those nights were Padme especially missed Anakin as she lay asleep in their bed clutching his pillow to her body encapsulating the remnants of his familiar scent , alone again.
