Future

                                    

                                          

I slowly made my way through the shadows of the night. I didn't wanna be spotted because I didn't know how to explain my situation if someone asked me. I'm going on a secret date with my own commander who is by the way my secret boyfriend and for everyone else we are just friends? Yeah right! That would be my death sentence. But my sisters would love it.
                          
I softly giggled but immediately vanish deeper into the shadows. The loudness of my shoes filled the air as I moved forward. Right now I wished I hadn't put my high heels on just yet. But I was nearly there and could already see the landing bay. I checked if anyone was near before I hastily walked these last few meters.
                          
Finally I could breath freely as the walls of the small hangar covered me. Now I needed to find Cody but I didn't need to look too far. Cody stood elegantly at one speeder in the middle of the room and waited for me. He had already spotted me. To my great joy he really had put on the suit I had found in his closet and I had been right. He really looked rather handsomely in his suit. Damn that boy could wear one anytime. I just hoped that he liked my dress. And there was just one way to find out.
                          
With his eyes he followed every of my movements as I got rid of my cloak. The deep red material of my dress sways around me and I nervously stroke my open hair behind my ear that flew up in the soft breeze. I smiled at Cody as he watched me come closer. He holds his hand out to me and I take it. Suddenly he swirls me around and smiles approvingly. As I come to a stop right before him he lays his hands on my hips and pulls me even closer. My hands lay on his chest and we looked at each other for a moment.
                          
I slowly lean closer until our lips lightly touch. "You look handsome!" I whisper against his lips and pull away to adjust his tie. "Now even better!" I smile and he rolls his eyes.
                          
"Wanna go?" He asks and I nod. He opens the door for me and I take a seat on the passengers seat. I watch as he jogs around the speeder and takes a seat as well. He starts the speeder and we take off. We drift through the night in silence as he suddenly lays his hand on my thigh and grins. "You ready?" He yells over the noise of the other speeders around us. I smile and lean over to press my lips on his cheek. "You bet!" I whisper into his ear and lean back again. He interlaces our fingers and kisses the back of my hand.
                          
I smile and watch the buildings around us as Cody maneuvers the speeder through Coruscant and into the deeper levels of the city. He stops on a landing platform and helps me out of the speeder. We look towards the streets and buildings and suddenly I again feel his hand in mine. I look at him and he smiles down at me. Then he pulls me with him through the streets and into a small dark street. "You're not going to murder me, aren't you?" I say jokingly. He shakes his head and wraps his arm around my waist pulling me closer.
                          
He presses his lips on my temple. "You're going to be the death of me first." He whispers into my ear and I lean closer to him. We walk up to a small restaurant. It was a sweet little house hidden from the naked eye. 
                          
As we open the door a soft bell rings out and we step in. I watch my surroundings closely. The restaurant is empty with just one table  in the center of the room. The warm candle light lights the room into a soft shine. I look up to Cody who stared at me. "It's beautiful!" I whisper and lean my head on his shoulder.
                          
"Breathtaking..." He whispers and pulls me closer. "Cody is that you?" Someone calls out from another room. "Yeah, we are here!" He calls back. An old mirialan lady appears out of what must be the kitchen and approaches us. Her back is hunched down and she walks with a cane slowly towards us. 
                          
"Where are your manners! Give the old lady a hug!" The woman exclaims and I grin as Cody bends down to hug what must be the owner of this restaurant. "You are not old, Gizath!" He grins as he pulls away and the Mirialan chuckles. "Don't smarm me, that won't work! And now be a good boy and introduce me to your girl!" She knocks him with her cane against his head and I giggle. I liked her already.
