Chapter 11

Anakin was in shock, when Achsah told him that she had learned who her father is. She too, was also in total shock.

“ I do not care who your father is. I will always be here for you and if you need someone to talk to or even to be with, I will not turn away from you.” Anakin looked up from their locked hands and then looked straight into her eyes.

“ Thank you, Anakin. At the moment, I really do need a friend and to be honest, I really do not like the man. I can even sense there is something very evil about him and I swear I can feel the Dark Side all around him. I need to tell Master Yoda what I feel about the Chancellor.” Achsah looked at Anakin and the fear came through her body, and she began to fear for her mother.

“ Are you ok? You really should tell Master Yoda what you do know.” Anakin let go of Achsah’s hands, as the waitress came back to the table with their main course.

“ Yes and no. Am just so worried about my mother. I also know that if she does not do what she is told to do then, well, let’s just say, her life could end.” Achsah felt tears come to her eyes.

“ Oh, man. I do not blame you for being so upset. So, what are we going to do ,after we leave here?” Anakin took a bite of his stake.

“ Wel,l I thought I would show you my mom’s family villa here, in the mountains, and even show you the winery that we also own here too.” Achsah also took a bite of her lunch.

“ So, do you know what you are going to be doing, when you get back to the Temple?” Anakin took a sip of his drink.

“ Well, Master Benhah did say something about going to settle a disturbance on a planet on the Outer Rim Territories.” Achsah looked out of the window and a movement caught her eyes. She saw her cousin walking down the sidewalk.

“ Lucky you. Well, I have to do some research on some animals, on a few planets, in the Core Planets.” Anakin watched Achsah and saw that she was making a face.

“ Man, that sucks. I know what you are thinking. The person am making a face at, is my stuck up cousin. Well, are you done?” Achsah finished her lunch and wiped her mouth with the napkin.

“ Yeah, am done here. Take me to your wonderful villa.” Anakin smiled and wiped his mouth.

They got up and paid for their lunch, before Achsah hailed down a taxi and they headed off to the Villa.

“ Well, here we are. I thought that maybe we could just stay here ,until we have to leave for Coruscant.” Achsah went out to the back porch and stood by the railing and looked out across the valley to the lake below.

“ That sounds like a great idea, but there is one thing I would like to do. Um . . . Achsah, I want to make love to you.” Anakin came up to Achsah and pulled her into his arms.

“ Please, do. I want you to make love to me, Anakin.” Achsah felt Anakin pick her up and carry her off to the bedroom.
