I awoke in the morning to find that Anakin was gone and I felt a little disappointed. I slowly got out of bed and walked to my bathroom to take a shower and get ready for the day. It was my day off today so I had zero obligations. I also had no orders from Dooku, for now.
I turned on the shower and waited for it to get warm before stepping in, the feeling of the warm water going down my body was enough to make me shiver.
I took my mind back to last night when Anakin was singing me to sleep, at one point I felt the back of his hand caress my cheek. It caused my chest tighten in an unfamiliar way.
I always thought that when I would see him for the first time, that I would feel hate towards him. After all I've always been taught to hate the Jedi, but I don't. I have no reason to, they have shown me nothing but kindness since the moment I walked through those doors. Dooku isn't always cruel to me but I never felt warmth around him. The thought of going back to him made me feel uneasy.
I sighed and washed my hair before turning off the water. I wrapped myself with a towel and walked into my room. I was instantly startled by the familiar man sitting on my bed. "Anakin?!" I shouted before tightening the towel around my body to make sure everything was covered.
He looked up at me and smirked as his eyes trailed up and down my body, "Sorry to scare you, but I brought you breakfast." He lifted up a bag and I can tell it's from the cafe. Not the plain mess hall food we have downstairs.
"Th-thank you." I stuttered, surprised by his gesture, "Um, let me put on clothes and I'll be right out." I grab my clothes that I left laying on the dresser and walked back into the bathroom, closing the door before he could give me a response.
I quickly got dressed and brushed my hair. I gave myself a quick glance in the mirror before deciding that this was the best I was gonna get and I exited the bathroom,"So what did you bring me?" I asked trying and a cute grin appeared on Anakin's face before he walked over to my night table to grab the bag of food.
"Bantha biscuits!" He exclaimed as he pulled one out of the bag and handed it to me. "Eat up and then I want to show you something."
I furrow my eyebrows in confusion as I take a bite a bite, "Where are we going?"
"Nowhere fancy just to the Temple gardens, I helped Lida plant the flowers for this season and I wanted to show them to you." He gave a proud smile before he finished his biscuit.
After a few minutes of random conversations we left the room and headed down to the Temple gardens. I felt excited to see them and I felt Anakin's excitement as he practically shoved me out of the elevator to head down the hall.
Before we got to the garden Anakin stopped in the hallway and handed me blindfold, "Put it on." He smirked and I gave him a curious look before I took the blindfold and placed it over my eyes and tied it.
I felt his hand grab mine as he started to lead me inside the garden. "Okay stand right here." He grabbed my hips and placed me in a spot. I felt my skin light on fire from his touch. I felt him move away and I couldn't tell where he was anymore. Then I felt a presence behind me as he gently took the mask off my eyes and I looked to see a beautiful garden. I have never seen so many colors all at once before, red, blue, yellow, green, purple, orange. Any color you could think of and it was there.
I stared in awe and got closer to touch a beautiful red flower that stood out to me the most. "It's all so beautiful." I whispered to myself and I almost forgot Anakin was with me when he stepped forward and picked the flower that I was looking at.
I stood up to face him and was about to scold him for taking the flower before he gently brushed my hair behind my ear and placed the flower there. "A beautiful flower for a beautiful girl." He smiled as his blue eyes stared into mine with a look of adoration. I felt myself blush a little at his words and I could see him leaning closer to me.
Oh no, was he about to kiss me?! As he got closer I realized that was exactly what he was going to do and I started to panic and my chest began to tighten. I've never kissed anyone before and I wasn't prepared for this. I braced myself for the impact.
"Anakin!" We both jumped and separated before turning to the source of the voice. I see a man with a beard frantically power walking towards us.
"What is it Obi-Wan?" Anakin asked, sounding a little annoyed that we were interrupted.
Wait did he just say Obi-Wan? As in?
"Obi-Wan Kenobi." I whispered in realization of who this man was. I don't think Anakin heard me as he did not acknowledge it.
"Anakin we need to go now, there has been an attack on the medic station on Naboo." I felt myself tense when he said this and Obi-Wans eyes shift to me for a few seconds before returning his gaze to Anakin. "The council has requested we go, they believe this plot involves Count Dooku and Darth Izdaja."
I shifted my gaze to the floor not wanting to make eye contact with either of them as the guilt I was feeling was creeping up on me. Things were so much easier when I just didn't care.
"Those two are nothing but trouble." Anakin growls, "They'll pay for this, attacking defenseless clones." Anakin's fist clenched up and I could sense his anger.
"Calm down Anakin you know anger won't help you in these situations and it is not the Jedi way." Obi-Wan lectured.
Anakin released his clenched fists and he turned to me. "I'm sorry (y/n) but I have to go." He apologized.
"It's okay, I'll see you when you get back." I put on my best smile trying to hide what I was truly feeling. He placed his hand on me cheek and gave me a smile before he turned and left the garden without another word.
"It was nice meeting you (y/n)," Obi-Wan spoke to me and gave me a soft smile, "I wish it was under better circumstances but maybe we can have a conversation when I get back, I make it my mission to get to know everyone in the Temple." He added before turning and following behind Anakin.
As soon as they were gone I quickly rushed to my room and pulled out my holopad to call Dooku.
"Yes (y/n)?" Dooku questioned as he answered the call.
"Obi-Wan and Anakin are leaving Coruscant now to go to Naboo." I inform him.
"As I suspected they would." He responded and I nodded and put my head down. "It seems you have something else to say?" He speculated and I lifted my head back up to look at him.
"Why do you hate the Jedi?" I questioned and I almost immediately regretted asking worried about how he would respond,but I wanted to know what could cause him to hate these people who don't actually seem bad to me. He looked surprised for a moment before he gave me a look of anger mixed with worry.
"I sense conflict in you my apprentice." He glanced up at my hair and gave me a curious look. "What's in your hair?" He asked referring to the flower that was left there by Anakin, completely dodging my question.
I reached and pulled it out, "A flower." I responded and I looked down at it in my hand remembering Anakin placing it there and I felt a sense of warmth.
"Put there by whom?" His eyes burned into mine and I felt frightened by him.
"Skywalker, it's not what it seems like I'm just doing as you told me." I tried defending myself but I knew I was lying. I was starting to have a soft spot for Anakin, he isn't as bad as Dooku made him out to be. None of the Jedi are.
"Request a few days off and meet me at the base on Geonosis." He snapped pulling me out of my day dream.
"What why? I thought I wasn't supposed to leave?" I argued confused at his request.
"It seems I have something to fix." Was all he said before he ended the call.
