Chapter 56

The next morning I woke up to Anakin staring at me as he laid on his side. "What?" I asked with my eyes closed. "Nothing, beautiful. You look like you slept well."

I gave Anakin a sleepy smile, "Mhm." He moved hair out of my face with his finger. Anakin stopped and I could feel his eyes burn into my skin. "Stop that." I spoke.

"Stop what?" He asked. "Staring. I feel it when you do. It burns me." I tiredly said. "I can't help it. You're too good to not stare at." He responded. "You've done that to me since the night we reunited." I informed.

"You're right and I won't stop." He said. "Hm." I hummed. "Hm." He repeated, "Time to get up, you have a long day of dancing and stuff." I felt the bed shift as Anakin stood up. He walked to me and grabbed my arms, tugging a little, "Come on."

"No.. Anakin please." I pleaded. "Nope. You have to get ready. I want to see how you look." He said. "Not yet." I groaned. "Y/n, it's the afternoon. We leave in four hours."

"Fine." I let Anakin pull my arms, getting me out of bed. I stood by him with my eyes still closed. "Smile." He said. I grinned, still not opening my eyes. Anakin held my face and kissed my forehead, "Beautiful. Now, you have to get ready. I have to go meet Obi Wan to talk about tonight."

I rubbed my eyes and opened them, "Shouldn't I go too?" Anakin responded, "No. You need to get ready. Obi Wan and I will meet you later at the military base." Anakin kissed my forehead before cautiously walking out of my room. How have we not been caught yet?

I walked into the bathroom and brushed the mess out of my hair. Looking in the mirror, I stared at my face. Then, I realized. I don't know how to do makeup.

I threw on my Jedi robe and boots and went to Padmé's room. Once I got there, I knocked on her door and waited. The door slid open and Clovis greeted me. "Hello, y/n. It's nice to see you again." He said. "You as well. Is Padmé here?" I asked.

"I'm here." Padmé walked into the living room. "Padmé." I smiled and walked towards her. "Hello, y/n. How have you been?" Padmé asked as she placed a hand on her stomach.

"I've been okay. So much has been going on. In a matter of fact, that's why I'm here. Padmé, if you can, I'm asking you to do my makeup. If it's too much for you, I understand completely." I spoke. Padmé smiled, "I'll do it, I'm not immobile yet. I must ask, why do you need makeup?"

"I have a mission tonight in a few hours. I'm going to a ball on Canto Bight. I have to get the attention of a Separatist who holds valuable information." I revealed. "I will make you look amazing. Not that you don't already." Padmé defended. "Thank you." I chuckled.

Padmé led me into her bedroom and sat me down on a chair in front of her vanity. "I'm not sure what to ask of you, so do whatever you think will look good." I said. Padmé laughed and set out her makeup, "I will."

I closed my eyes and let Padmé get to work. "Anyone else you're trying to impress tonight?" Padmé asked as she moved her brush against my eyelid. "No. Besides, it's against the code." Padmé groaned, "You Jedi and your code. If I were you, I would get some man's attention tonight, and not the Separatist guy you're after. I would if I wasn't pregnant, of course."

I laughed, "I wish. I just hope this guy isn't slimy or disgusting." Padmé cringed, "That would be gross." I asked, "What are you going to do after the war is over?" Padmé replied, "Raise the child back on Naboo. Clovis and I are raising the baby in the house by the lake country."

"Will you two get married?" I asked. "I'm not sure. I do love him and he loves me, but I don't know when the time will come for us to be ready for marriage." Padmé said.

We sat in silence for a long time until Padmé finished my makeup. "There. All done." I opened my eyes and saw Padmé holding a mirror. Taking the mirror, I held it up to my face. My face makeup was simple and natural, bringing out different features. My eyes were had a light and dark glitter ombré color and my lips were a glossy light pink.

"Padmé, I look amazing! Thank you." I smiled up at her in awe. "No problem. I hope you have fun tonight and be safe! Don't need you or anyone getting killed." Padmé said strictly. "You sound like a mother." I laughed.

"I've been practicing." She smiled, "Now hurry. You have to change out of whatever is under that robe because by the looks of it, it's not a dress." I got up and hugged her, "Thank you, Padmé." Padmé hugged me back and let go.

I hurried out of the door and made my way back into my room. I took off my robe and sat in of a chair and took off my boots, then chose what to do with my hair.

Deciding to put waves in my hair, I used my straightening iron that sat under the sink. Burning myself a few times, I eventually got the hang of it. I twisted the iron and let the curls fall until there was nothing left to curl.

I unplugged the straightener and went back into my bedroom. I sat the bag of the dress flat onto my bed and gently slid down the zipper to reveal a beautiful, red dress.

I took the dress out and sat in down. I was in awe of how beautiful it was. This must've cost Obi Wan a lot of credits.

Grabbing the shoe box, I opened it. The shoes were a glittery, silver, open toed high heel. Oh my stars. I was in shock of how gorgeous the dress and shoes were along with my makeup.

Carefully, I took off my tank top and pants, hoping not to mess my face up. I sat my dress on the floor and stepped into it and brought it up over my chest and to my shoulders. Looking at myself in the mirror, I smiled.

I strapped on my heels and set my hair. If this doesn't get the guy's attention, I don't know what will.

Glancing at the clock, I saw I only had a thirty minutes until we had to meet at the military base. Before I hurried out the door, I grabbed my lightsaber, then left the apartments and made my way to the base.
