"That was amazing," Anakin moaned into your neck, before slowly getting off you and standing up. He bent down and placed a short kiss on your lips while pulling up his pants. 

You watched as he walked over to the mirror, taking in the sight of his toned arms and carved abs, glistening with sweat. As your heartbeat slowed, you sat up, pulling the covers up to your chest. "You in a rush, or something?"

He looked back at you and let out a laugh, "I have a meeting in ten minutes, I'm sorry." He put his shirt on before walking back over to you and cupping your face, kissing you passionately before pulling away. "We still on for tonight?"

You nodded, trailing your fingers over his bicep. "Of course."

"You know he's using you, right?" Caleeya said with a raised eyebrow before taking a sip of her drink. "He's still so in love with Padmé."

"I don't care," You shrugged, tapping your hands on the table. "I don't expect him to fall in love with me; I knew what I was getting into."

"You're just a rebound, Y/N!" Dex exclaimed, furrowing his eyebrows. "Don't you think you deserve more than that?"

"We're young and having fun, it isn't that serious," You insisted as they stared you down. "I get to fuck Anakin Skywalker every night; who cares that he'd rather it was her? It's me."

"Gross," Caleeya grimaced. "We just don't wanna see you get hurt." 

"I'm not gonna get hurt," You insisted with a laugh. "I'm a waitress that gets to sleep with a whole Jedi Master. I'm not gonna ruin that by catching feelings for him, when there's no chance he'd want anything more."

Dex sighed, shaking his head. "It's your funeral."

Anakin had a bad habit. It was the only thing you disliked about it, but it was jarring whenever he did it.

He would purposely take you to places where he knew Padmé Amidala was, and sometimes he'd outright call her while you were in the room. Just to show her that he was with another woman, and to make her jealous, and it drove you crazy every time.

You knew you were a rebound, but the guy didn't have to make it so damn obvious.

"This place is nice," You commented in awe as you stared around at the fancy bar Anakin had brought you to. It looked expensive, but you didn't care - Anakin would always foot the bill. 

"Nothing but the best for us," He mused with a sly smile on his face as you sat at a small table and opened the menu.

"Everyone here looks so important," You said as you scanned the other guests. They were dressed in luxurious garments and seemed to be discussing some riveting topics, making you feel incredibly out of place as a measly waitress.

"They aren't any more important than you," Anakin said, sensing how you felt. "Not a single one of them."

Your eyes suddenly landed on none other than Padmé , which made you sigh as you narrowed your eyes. "Oh, yeah? Not even that one?"

Anakin looked over to where you were glaring, his eyebrows raising as he saw her. "Oh, Padmé 's here. What a funny coincidence."

"For fuck's sake," You muttered under your breath before turning back to him. "Seriously?"

"What?" He asked innocently, shrugging his shoulders. "I didn't know she'd be here."

"Sure you didn't," You said with an eye roll, before you were mortified to see him wave her over. "What are you doing?"
