                   𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝, the action would make it clear to any outsider that she had been comfortable in his house, or that she’d at least been here more than once. The car ride had felt like A MILLION YEARS, when in reality their office buildings were only fifteen minutes away from each other, and Rey didn’t even have to drive to meet him here, instead he had picked her up. The entire ride, she had went into the details that she couldn’t over text, ranting to her HEART’S CONTENT about her boss. An unrepaired coffee machine left Rey to do what one might call an intern’s job.. Except there was no intern, so Rey called it ‘BITCH-WORK.’ Going to get coffees and sent all around town on careless errands only to be belittled and yelled at, she had snapped and threw her boss’ coffee at him, and walked right out of work.

The decision was a poor one, but truly, it was years in the making. Her mascara was somehow still intact after all of the NEAR-SHED TEARS, and sniffling on the way here, but the look on her face said she was anything but calm. ❝ I know it was stupid, but I’m not going back there.. I can’t go back to that place and I don’t care where I go. I’d rather be SLEEPING ON A GODDAMN BENCH again than deal with that prick for one more minute, I’ll end up in jail if I have to. ❞ She said, having completely ignored Ben’s opinion and advice. Sure, picking up and leaving a job on an impulse when you were one notice away from being evicted was.. Well, not wise, but REY WAS A STUBBORN ONE.

god , you love her . you’ve always loved her . like the sun and moon , you are perfectly balanced . finger tips find purchase upon tear stained cheeks , wishing to wash away the salt from her skin . wish you could do more to protect her . something you’ve already failed at so many times before . ❝i wish i knew how to put you back together.❞ he whispers , so softly against her ear , he thinks she might not hear it . ❝i wish i could be better for you.❞

         𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬, her eyelashes stuck together from the quantity of tears that rushed out. Head tilted slightly to lean into his touch, his presence seemed to be the only comfort despite knowing he was part of that pain. 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗻𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 for him, but alas, he was the soul at the opposite end of her red string. These things were not to be chosen, but to deny them, it was impractical, 𝗶𝗻𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲.

            𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞, 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭.  Rey and Ben had managed to escape with their lives, along with the ship he’d arrived on. Co-piloting, Rey had flipped a few switches here and there to assure their trip was as stable as it could possibly be. She hadn’t uttered another word since their shared moment just fifteen minutes before. It wasn’t because she wanted to ignore him, this clearly wasn’t the case considering she had glanced over at him every few seconds; 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸.

They were lucky to be here, with each other no less. Biting on her lip slightly while she eyed him, it was almost as though 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆, for if she didn’t he’d be gone. ❝ Ben? ❞ Rey managed to softly speak up.

                 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐛𝐲𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨. Lips softly pressed to his own plump ones, SALIVA WAS SHARED as her eyes fluttered shut, her body pressed against his own as his fingers gingerly held her chin. Ben’s cape elegantly flapped in the wind, shielding her from the rain drops that made their way passed the large leaves from the tree tops. Just as the wind breezed through and made his cape soar, her hair blew over her shoulder as well. Nature was something Rey never minded getting lost in, though NOT EVEN A HURRICANE could pull her away from this moment.

             ❝ Master Solo, I’ve knocked you down twice so far, you agreed that it’s three strikes. ❞ Rey exclaimed, 𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗺. Rey was normally a very cooperative student who only caused trouble here and there 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀, but whenever Ben Solo decided to extend their training schedule out, 𝗥𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗶𝗺. 

❝ You said that when we finished I could go and look at your ship, I never get to look at it, and I’ve done really well this week, even Master Skywalker said so. 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲? ❞ she attempted to reason with him by wearing him down, 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫.
