(Y/n)'s POV
Nothing in this short life of mine has ever felt as sweet, or as peaceful as this; falling asleep and waking up, wrapped in the arms of the one I love.

I knew it was time for us to get up based off of the sun shining through the window and the sound of the birds chirping as they flew by, but I didn't want this heavenly moment to end. So I snuggled my face into Anakin's chest and listened to the sound of his soft breathing. His hold on me tightened the closer I got, which brought a smile to my face.

Being this much in love is truly one of the best feelings in the world, and to have him love me just as much back makes it all the more endearing.

Words can't describe how lucky I felt.

Clovis and I never dared to do something as bold as this, which goes to show just how much more Anakin means to me. My dad would kill me if he found out about him spending the night, but it was definitely worth the risk. I know I'll be risking it over and over again until one day, when we have our lives sorted out, we have a place of our own.

Call me crazy for planning my future with someone I've only known for two months, but I know in my heart that he's the one. It's been beating his name since I looked into his eyes for the first time, I was just too blinded by my wasted loyalty to Clovis to notice. That's the only way I can explain how my heart healed so fast, it moved on quicker than my mind could keep up.

I was pulled away from my love struck thoughts by Anakin shifting his position, his hold strengthening, "Baby," He whispered, but I didn't answer. I wanted him to think I was still asleep, I was afraid he was about to tell me that he needed to go. Which he should, the longer he's here the more likely it is for him to get caught, but I desperately wanted to stay like this forever, "Baby I know you're awake, I don't hear you snoring anymore." He then proceeded to make the most obnoxious snoring sound imaginable.

I raised my head from his chest and peered up at him with narrowed eyes, "I don't snore, especially not like that." I defended myself. He was making me sound like I snored like an old grandpa who smoked two packs of cigs' a day for the last thirty to forty years.

He smirked as he quietly chuckled, "I know you don't, but I knew that'd get you to stop faking." He raised a brow.

"Oh," Damn he's good, or I'm just that gullible, "I just don't want you to go." I whined and it came out muffled as I buried my face back into his bare chest.

He squeezed me tight once more as his chest rumbled with his low laughs, before gently backing away so our eyes could meet, "How about this," He lowered his lips down and pressed them to my forehead, "I get dressed and climb out the window," He went lower and kissed the short space between my eyes, "I go down the street to grab my bike," He then brought his lips to the tip of my nose and my heart raced with each and every peck as my smile widened, "Ride down here and come to the front door to pick you up so I can take you to breakfast." Lastly, he kissed me on my lips and I returned the gesture while trailing my fingertips along his jawline.

The kiss was short and sweet, and nearly gave me a heart attack from how hard my heart was pounding. I wasn't just in love, I was completely obsessed, "Sounds perfect to me." I whispered.

His smile grew as he rubbed my lips with his thumb, "And I'll make sure it's a place that has blueberry pancakes."

My eyes widened when he spoke of my second obsession, "I'll be ready in fifteen minutes." I grabbed the hem of my blanket and tossed it off of me before getting out of bed while wearing his T-shirt. Which I now just realized I'm going to have to give back.

Anakin was already up, shaking his head and chuckling at my excitement, "Oh how the tables turn when food is involved. Now you're just itching to kick me out."

I shrugged innocently and walked over to open my window for him as he pulled his jeans on to cover his boxers, "I have my priorities babe—" oh shit. I quickly moved away from the window before I was seen, and Anakin was walking towards me—seconds away from being in eye shot of both Obi-Wan and Satine who were standing in the backyard, eyeing the small garden.

He furrowed his brows as he came closer, "What's wrong?"

"Stop," I shouted louder than I meant to as I held my hand out and he froze in place, surprised at my outburst, "Your brother and my aunt are in the backyard." I spoke low this time.

He didn't seem fazed by my reveal, in fact, he started to smile with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He came closer to me, while also avoiding the window, and placed his hands on my hips, "Well then I guess we'll just have to get back in bed and wait until—"

He was cut off by a loud knocking on my door, "Butterfly?" My dads voice came through and both mine and Anakin's eyes widened. He knocked again when he got no answer, "I heard a shout, are you okay?"

My boyfriend shot me a glare and mouthed, 'Say something.'

"Uh," I cleared my throat after nearly choking on my own saliva, "Yeah Dad I'm good I," I paused trying to come up with a lie which is something I'm usually good at. But my Dad instills an entirely different kind of fear in me so it's safe to say that I was panicking right now, "Started my period." The words came out slow and unconvincing.

Anakin smirked and placed his hand over his mouth to keep quiet, but his stifled laughs were evident, "And that caused you to shout?" My Dad asked in a confused tone.

"Yeah, it's a very upsetting thing, you wouldn't understand," I slapped Anakin on the arm for laughing at me, "It's the first thing I could think of." I whispered in my defense.

"Okay," He said slowly after trying to turn the door knob, "Well is there a reason your door is locked?"

"You're changing for breakfast," Ani whispered a lie for me, since apparently my brain can't function properly before nine am.

"Yeah I'm changing right now, Anakin is supposed to be picking me up for breakfast soon." Now that time I actually sounding convincing and my boyfriend gave me a proud smile with a thumbs up.

"Oh, that sounds nice," He answered with more enthusiasm and less skepticism, "Well I'll be going to bed in a bit since I have work tonight, so if I don't see you before I leave later - I love you."

I smiled, he has too good of a soul for a world like this, "I love you too Dad, and be safe tonight." One of the worse things about being the child of a cop, is that constant fear that one day they just might not come back. It gets easier to deal with over the years, but the anxiety always rests in the chest until he comes home.

"I always am." He knocked on the door once with his knuckle, before walking away towards his room.

As soon as Anakin and I both heard his bedroom door close, we sighed with relief, "Okay, so how are we gonna get me out of here?" He questioned as I turned around to subtly peer out of my window to see if the two love birds were still there - unfortunately they were.

But now that I knew my Dad was in his room, and he was aware of me leaving, I had a plan brewing. I faced my boyfriend and grabbed the bottom of his t-shirt I was wearing and pulled it over my head to give it back to him.

His eyes were glued to my body as he bit his bottom lip before shooting his gaze up to me. I can practically see his lustful thoughts swimming through his eyes, "Get your mind out of the dumps Skywalker, we don't have time for that." I threw his shirt towards him and he caught it without looking away from me, "I have a little idea that just might work if we're quiet and careful."

He chuckled as a smile slowly spread across his lips, "I'm very good at quiet and careful, can't say the same for you though." He winked.

I rolled my eyes at his crude remark, "Once I get dressed, we'll be sneaking out of the front door together."

He raised his brows as he fanned out his black shirt before putting it on, "That sounds risky."

I pulled out my outfit for the day from my closet  and smiled at my boyfriend with pure excitement, "It does, doesn't it?" Risky sounds fun. I don't know what it is about Anakin, but he makes me want to explore my more rebellious teen side. Nothing crazy enough so that would potentially ruin my future, but just enough to say that I had fun and I've lived.

He folded his arms over his chest, smiling at my joy, "And I thought I was dating a good girl."

"Eh," I closed my closet door and began to change into my outfit choice, "I think I've always been on neutral ground."

I peaked my head out into the hall to make sure the coast was clear, and when I felt comfortable enough - I stepped out my room and waved for Anakin to follow me.

Quietly we tip-toed down the steps and cringed when they creaked underneath our feet, "You need new stairs." He whispered.

"Buy me new ones then." I countered as I stepped off of the bottom step and immediately froze, prompting Anakin to stop right behind me.

Unfortunately, the entrance to the living room was to the right at the bottom of the stairs and although Satine and Obi-Wan were still out back, there was another duo present.

"What are you doing?" Ahsoka questioned from the couch. Cal was sitting next to her and giving me the same quizzical look. He looked better than yesterday since I do remember him being a little sick at breakfast, but he was still slightly pale.

"Fuck," Anakin whispered from behind me when he heard his little sisters voice.

The biggest snitches in the world, kids. And this morning just keeps throwing one obstacle after another at us.

"I came down to get you two," I lied with a big smile on my face, "I think I heard your parents calling you from the backyard."

Cal, like the good boy he always is, didn't even hesitate to get up from the couch. But Ahsoka was stubborn, "I didn't hear anything and we're watching cartoons." She said with a shrug as if that argument was enough for her to win at anything. Cal stood there eyeing both her and me, debating on wether to go outside now or not.

"Tell her that I called you and that I'm on my way and I'll meet her in the back with Obi-Wan." Ani whispered close to my ear.

I cleared my throat before slightly nodding, "Ahsoka, I just spoke to Kinny," I began and her eyes were quickly on me at the mention of her older brother whom she adores to not end, "He said he's on his way and to meet him in the backyard by the flowers." Her eyes lit up with excitement and she rushed to the door that was adjacent to the living room and the backyard. Cal followed right behind her.

I blinked in surprise as Anakin passed me and made his way to the front door once he heard them both gone, "That was so easy." I said in disbelief.

He shrugged while holding his signature smirk, "She loves me, but now I can't disappoint her. So instead of sneaking out together, I'll go get my bike and be back in a few minutes, then I'll take you to breakfast." He came forward and gave me a quick peck on the cheek.

I nodded, blushing, "Okay, I'll be in the backyard with everyone else then."

"See you soon gorgeous," He turned the knob, but paused before facing me again, "And you do remember what tonight is right?"

I knitted my brows with a slow head shake, "No?" I don't think it's his birthday and it's way too early to be an anniversary of any kind, so what else could it be?

He shook his head at my forgetfulness, "It's the festival."
