Hello there! I hope you're doing ok :) Could we have some more of that coffee shop AU, please? Thank you!
“I had a really good time,” she tells him, smiling as they stop in front of her large and elegant-looking apartment building.
“Me, Too,” Anakin says, glancing up at the building. “This is some place.”
“There’s a pool on the roof,” she tells him, grinning.
“No,” he laughs. “That’s not true. There’s not a pool on the roof.”
“There is!” Padme laughs. She reaches out and takes his hand, tugging him along. “I’ll prove it.”
“It’s nearly two in the morning,” Anakin reminds her with a soft laugh. “I have to be back at the shop in three hours.”
Anakin huffs and grins, pulling his phone out to send a text message before putting it away. “Okay. Lead the way.”
Padme beams and tugs him into the building, and over to the elevators, letting Anakin look around the lobby a little, giving a low whistle.
“Yep. This place is some place. You’re loaded.”
“…Okay I might be a little loaded,” she admits as she pulls him into the elevator, hitting the button for the roof. “But you live in the city, too. It’s not exactly cheap.”
“I don’t have a pool on my roof.”
“You said you didn’t believe me.”
“Well, you certainly believe that you do,” Anakin teases, leaning closer to her.
She laughs softly and pushes at his chest gently, and before they know it, they’re on the roof, where a large pool glimmers in the glow from the streetlights below them.
“Huh,” Anakin grins at her. “A pool.”
“But what if it’s a shared hallucination?” he asks.
“There’s only one way to prove it’s a real pool,” he tells her.
Realization dawns on her and she backs away from him. “Oh, no. No way.”
Anakin smirks and follows her. “But we have to see if the pool is real, Padme.”
“Don’t you dare, coffee man!”
They’re both soaking wet twenty minutes later. He had lifted her up and she’d reached up and dragged him in with her.
They sit on the edge of the pool now, their feet dangling in the water.
“Pool’s real,” Anakin tells her.
Padme laughs and nudges him. “Is your prosthetic okay in water?”
“Yeah, it’s fine,” he confirms. “It’s made of heavy-duty plastics, so it’s pretty sturdy. Doesn’t do well with fire, though.”
“Most things don’t.” She smiles at him softly. “So? Did you still have a good time?”
Anakin nods. “I did. I had a great time.”
Padme beams and leans closer to him. “It’s been a really long time since I’ve been on a date that was this nice.”
“We should do it again,” Anakin tells her. “I don’t know when, but we should.”
“I think so too,” Padme grins.
He nods and looks out at the view of the city. “That’s some view from up here. Do you come up here often at night?”
“Not as often as I should,” she admits. “It is beautiful up here.” Padme smiles. “I’m really glad I got to share it with you tonight.”
Anakin grins and leans in, kissing her cheek.
