Chapter 16

(Four Years Later)

“ Good morning, Master Loyoload. Um . . . there is something that I want to ask your permission on.” Anakin came into the Chapel and walked down the aisle to where the lone figure was kneeling in one of the pews.

“ Well, good morning, Anakin. Sure, go ahead with what you want to ask me. You do know, that you can always come to me, if you have any kind of questions. What can I do for you?” Nyckol opened her eyes and looked up at the young man.

“ Ok. I will keep that in mind, next time Obi-Wan leaves me alone here. Um . . . well, you do know that today is Padme’s birthday. I was hoping to get your permission to take her out for dinner and dancing. Um . . . we will be with other people too.” Anakin began to blush some, because he hopes that the woman would not detect the other thing that he wants to do tonight with Padme.

“ I see . . . Wwhere do you plan to go and who are the other people that you are going to be with?” Nyckol stood up, before sitting down on the bench. She could also tell that he was not telling her everything. The one thing she does know about him, is that he has very strong feelings for Padme.

“ Um. . . I was thinking about taking her to the Outlander Club for both dinner and dancing.Some members of our Ex-Clan that are going are Liam, Bobby, Ashla and Mari will be with us.” Anakin wiped his sweaty hands on his pants legs.

“ I see. You can take her out tonight, but I do have this feeling that you are not really telling me something. You also have something else in mind too. I also know that you have feelings for Padme. All I can say is, be very careful, if you know what I mean.” Nyckol smiled and nodded her head to the young man, because she knows how he is feeling too.

“ Yes, ma’am. We will have fun tonight . . . You and Obi-Wan have fun together tonight too.” Anakin saw a huge smile on the woman’s face, when she was thinking about the plans that she had for herself and His Jedi Master.

“ Um . . . what? How? . . . Did you know about us?” Nyckol had a surprise look on her face, when she realized that Anakin knew that her and Obi-Wan was having a love affair.

“ Well, both Padme and I know that you and Obi-Wan have been sleeping together for years now.” Anakin smiled at the Jedi Master, before bowing his head and walking back down the aisle and out of the Chapel, leaving the woman with a shock look on her face.

Anakin walked down the hallway and was trying to figure out how he was going to take Padme out tonight, because she did tell him that she really did not want to go out for her birthday. He stopped at the turbo-lifts, pushed the down button and just stood there, waiting for the lift to come up to the level that he was on. When the lift stopped on the level that he was on, the doors opened up and Anakin stepped onto the lift. Reaching out with the Force, he pushed the button from the level that he wanted. The lift stopped only four levels down and then the doors opened up. Anakin stepped off the elevator and headed down the hallway to where his quarters where located. Coming up to one of the closed doors, Anakin raised his hand and knocked on the door.

“ Come in, Anakin.” Padme called out, as she opened up her eyes.

“ Hey, are you ready for breakfast?” Anakin walked into the room and saw that Padme was sitting crossed legged on her bed.

“ Hey. Sure, just let me get up and brush my hair.” Padme uncrossed her legs and got up from the bed. “ Hold up for a moment. Happy Birthday, Padme. I want to ask you something.” Anakin came up to Padme and lightly pulled her into his arms.

“ Thank you. What are you up to Anakin Skywalker.” Padme put her arms around Anakin’s neck.

“ Well, I would like for us to go out to dinner and go dancing at the Outlander Club, or after dinner, we can go do something else without our friends that will be going with us tonight.” Anakin gave Padme a wicked smile.

“ Mmm . . . that does sound like fun. I cannot wait to see what else you have plan for me. Well, we better go and get something to eat, before History Class.” Padme looked up at Anakin.

“ Ok.” Anakin leaned his head down and gave Padme a very passionate kiss. Anakin let go of Padme, so that way, she could go over to desk and brush her hair, before they headed down to the dining hall for breakfast.

“ Hey, Anakin. Happy Birthday, Padme. Are you guys ready for tonight?” Bobby said as he looked up from his breakfast tray, as Padme and Anakin came up to the table.

“ Thank you, Bobby. Yes, I cannot wait for tonight. Hey, Liam, Ashla and Mari.” Padme looked at the other people sitting at the table.

“ Happy Birthday! I have a new outfit to wear for tonight.” Ashla nodded to Padme, before turning to Liam and gave him a smile.

Padme could tell that there was something not only going on with Ashla and Liam, but also with Mari and Bobby, because they seemed really touchy and feely lately. They all sat there and ate their breakfast. They talked about their classes that they were going to be in today, before they leave the Temple tonight for Padme’s Birthday Party.

(Five Hours Later)

Anakin, Padme, Bobby, Mari, Liam and Ashla all got into the speeder and Anakin drove them all down to the Outlander Club. They all got out of the speeder, after Anakin parked it in the parking garage and made their way to the front of the Club and going inside.

“ How many are in your party?” the hostess looked up from her screen and looked at the small group that just came up to her podium.

“ We have a reservation for Skywalker and there are six of us.” Anakin looked at the woman was looking at them.

“ Yes, sir. I have your table ready for you guys. So, please follow me.” the hostess looked down at her screen and nodded, before grabbing the menus and silverware.

The hostess led the small group up some steps to one of the nicer dining areas of the Club. She began laying the menus and silverware down in the places around the table.

“ Your server will be with you, in a couple of moments.” the hostess nodded to the small group, before leaving them and going back to her podium.

The waiter came to the table and took all the Padawan’s orders, as they sat there looking around the room and watching the people, who were out on the dance floor, dancing to the music that was playing. An hour later, Bobby, Mari, Liam and Ashla left Padme and Anakin and headed for a level that was a couple of levels below, and that was where the hotel is located.

“ Padme, I want to make love to you. Let's go somewhere.” Anakin whispered in Padme’s ear, as they danced so close that it was making him get really hard.

“ I want to be with you too. There are some rooms a couple levels from here. That is where the others went to, so let us go and have a private party.” Padme lifted her head off of Anakin’s shoulder and gave him a smile, as she could feel his very hard on.

“ Yes, I know. That is why I have made the reservation for the three rooms, so we all could use them tonight.” Anakin pushed Padme a little closer, so he could move his hips to let her know that he really wanted her badly.

Anakin took her hand and then led her through the crowded dance floor, to where the turbo-lifts were located. Getting onto the lift, Anakin pushed the button, then he pulled Padme into his arms and began kissing her. The lift stopped and the doors opened up. Anakin let go of Padme and led her out into what looked like a hotel lobby.

“ Good evening and how can I help you?” the man looked at the two young Jedi.

“ Good evening. I have a reservation for Skylark.” Anakin looked at the man, and he saw that the man nodded his head, as he was the third person to use that name.

“ Ok, your room number is 204. Hope that you and your friends have a great night.” the man nodded and handed Anakin the room key.

Anakin took the key and he and Padme headed down the hallway to the room that is located at the end of the hallway. After Anakin unlocked and opened up the door, he picked up Padme and carried her into the room. Then, closed and locked the door by using the Force.

“ Here, let me help you get out of your clothes.” Padme stood up in front of Anakin and began unbuttoning his pants.

“ Ok and I will help you with your dress. Oh yeah, Padme, that feels so great.” Anakin felt Padme put her hand into his pants and grab a hold of him. She started to stroke him very gently, before she began pulling his pants down his hips.

“ Man, you are huge.” Padme looked down and saw how large Anakin was.

“ It is all for you, Padme. I just hope that it will fit in you. I have heard that it will hurt you and I want you to know that I would not hurt you.” Anakin looked down at Padme and saw a mix of excitement and even a little bit of fear.

“ I know that you will never hurt me. Yes, I do know that it will hurt at first, but then it will be like heaven, once the pain goes away.” Padme looked up and gave him a smile, as she took him into her hand and slowly stroked him again, as she leaned forward and kissed him.

Once they were both naked, Anakin picked up Padme and carefully laid her on the bed. Then, he joined her on the bed. Once the slight pain of losing their virginity was gone, their love making was very slow and passionate. Anakin made love to her over and over, until they both were very worn out but very happy.

“ Happy Birthday, Padme.” Anakin looked down at the person, who was laying in his arms sound asleep.

Anakin gave Padme a soft and tender kiss, before closing his eyes and began drifting off to sleep. Padme snuggled closer to Anakin and drifted deeper into a peaceful sleep.
