They had been in space for about twenty minutes. Padme was still trying to get used to the cold. She had never been in space in her whole life.
She felt a blanket being put around her shoulders. She suddenly felt a certain shoot of heat. It wasn’t from the blanket but from the person who put it around her.
“Thankyou.”
“I couldn’t help but notice that you looked like you were cold,” said Anakin.
“I was.”
“Good.”
Good,” asked Padme.
“I- I mean good that I- um noticed,” said Anakin.
“You’re stuttering. You don’t usually stutter,” said Padme as she touched his cheek.
He was now sitting next to her.
“How do you know? Maybe I always stutter,” said Anakin.
Padme laughed at this.
“Yeah, right.”
“What you think I’m perfect?”
“No one is, and you by far are not.”
“By far? God, you make it sound as if I murdered someone,” said Anakin in a teasing voice.
“The man who saved my life is no murderer,” whispered Padme.
She leaned over and kissed Anakin on the cheek.
“We have to stop starting like this,” said Anakin.
“Do you not want me to kiss you,” asked Padme.
“Maybe. I don’t think it’s a good idea if I tried to answer that question,” said Anakin.
“Would you stop me if I kissed you?”
“You know I wouldn’t.”
Gently her lips touched his. Their kiss was soft and warm, not really passionate or unreal.
“I- I should get some sleep.”
“Anakin?”
He had gotten up but he now turned to face her.
“Why do you always pull away?”
“Because I can’t fall in love with you.”
“Do you think you could fall in love with me?”
“Maybe. Al I know is I really like you and want you around,” said Anakin.
Padme gently smiled. Anakin noticed how it lit her whole face up. It made her look even more beautiful if that were a possibility.
“Good, Anakin. I want you around too.”
He smiled before going back to his room.

Anakin was in another tedious chastising session with Obi-Wan. Obi-wan wasn’t to thrilled with his like for the girl. He was convinced that it got in the way of his studies. Anakin ofcourse thought he needed to relax.
“Yeah, she’s definitely in the way. That’s why I beat you this morning. If I had been an enemy I could have killed you,” said Anakin.
“Alright. Be mindful of your thoughts Anakin. They betray you.”
Anakin nodded his head. He knew this speech by heart.
“Let me guess what comes next. You’ve made a commitment to the jedi order, a commitment not easily broken,” said Anakin in a mocking voice.
“That’s enough training for today. Go to sleep Anakin.”
“Good night Obi-wan.”
“Good night.”
*********
Padme felt a nudge at her shoulders. As she slowly opened her eyes she met excited sky blue eyes.
“Anakin, what time is it?”
“Who cares? Look out your window.”
When she looked out her window she couldn’t help but be in awe. She had always wanted to see the rings of Saturn. It was just more beautiful than she imagined.
“Wow, Anakin. It’s beautiful.”
“I thought you might like it. One day I’m going to visit every planet. I’m going to travel the world. And you’ll go with me.”
“If I don’t get caught,” said Padme in a low voice full of sorrow.
It made Anakin think for a moment.
“I wasn’t thinking that night when I convinced you to come back with me. Did you have any family? I mean you could be a mother of fifteen children for all I know.”
“Fifteen children? No one in their right mind could possibly want that many. I would be in over my head with five.”
Anakin gave her one of his sexy smiles.
“What if they all looked liked me? Then would you want five children?”
Padme’s jaw dropped open.
“Excuse me? And what if I am married? What then?”
“If you are married I am willing to bet your husband isn’t as handsome as me.”
“You have such a high opinion of yourself. And what if he is just as good looking as you?”
“Awe, then it must be me.”
“You don’t know when to give up do you?”
“You think I’m good looking?”
“Why do you find that so surprising? You find yourself good looking. What do you do, stand in the mirror and worship yourself?”
“Not exactly.”
“Something tells me I really don’t want an answer to that.”
“I’ll tell you what I do. I look in the mirror and say ‘What would the jedi order do without me?’”
“Gee, things would be a lot more peaceful for them,” said Padme.
“Back to the subject. Are you married?”
“No.”
“We just went all through that for nothing.”
“Oh, but you enjoyed it. And I learned something from it.”
“So, did I. I learned that you are attracted to me.”
“I am not attracted to you.”
“Yes, Padme, you are.”
“How would you know?”
“Because everytime I kiss you and then decide to pull away I feel your disappointment,” said Anakin.
“I am not dissapointed. Maybe I just wanted to find out what a really good kisser you were. But obviously you don’t know how to kiss.”
Anakin didn’t quite know what he was doing. He didn’t quite know where his anger came from.
Padme smirked at him. Her smirk quickly vanished as he pulled her into his embrace.
“Let go of me.”
“No.”
Before Padme had really time to do anything he was kissing her. His tongue was searching hers out. His hands were running through her hair possessively.
Padme was shocked to find she enjoyed it. There was nothing sweet about his kiss. He was proving something to her. He was proving what she already knew. He was proving he could kiss.
She didn’t want to, but she found herself kissing him back with the same need. Finally, as always he ended it.
Padme was not too happy to find his smirk.
“What?”
“I think you like me Padme. I think you are attracted to me.”
“No, you are attracted to me. In fact I think you might fall in love with me.”
“That is not true.”
