“Sweetheart, wake up!” The nanny shouted as she entered the room of her twenty-four-year-old protégée.
“You have to get up. Your father has called for you” The old woman opened the curtains and the woman lying on the bed shot her beautiful eyes open.
“What does he want now?” she asked grumpily.
“Well, you have to get to him in order to find out” snapped the nanny.
“I don’t have a choice, do I?” the woman wanted to know as she got out of the bed.
The nanny didn’t answer as she knew this was a rhetorical question and helped her getting dressed in a rich, flowing green dress.
In the moment she was presentable, she slipped out of the door and headed down the corridors to her fathers room. She knocked firmly on the door and entered.
“Ah, Essentiella. Please sit down”
“Father” Essentiella aknowledged him.
“Essentiella, I called for you because I think it is about time that you are geting married”
Married!? Her mind shrieked. But all she said was: “Ok. Whom?” Her voice betrayed no emotions.
“One lovingly rich man. You know him already” her father said, satisfied with her reaction (or lack of it), “Our new business partner is to be your husband. And the engagement is tomorrow.”
To say that Essentiella was shocked is an understatement. She had only known this man for one day. Of course she knew her whole life that she would get married to someone out of business and not because of love, but this was a little too sudden.
Her father's voice shook her out of her stupor.
“I trust you to not shame me or the family, Essentiella” he said serious, “We need this union with him.”
“Yes father. I understand. I will not shame you” she replied.
“Good. You’re excused now,” he told her.
She left.
Xanatos duCrion paced in his room pondering what just had happened. He was going to get married. He hadn’t imgained that as he came here. In fact he never imagined getting married. And soon he would be bound to a woman he didn’t know... .
Not that this would be a bad deal. The most influential family on Naboo would be bound to him. And... well, he wouldn’t have to be faithful, now would he?
He just hoped just the woman wouldn’t be dumb or overly ugly. Maybe she would be a benefit to his business if she had a certain understanding of this sort of things.
Nevertheless it unnerved him to a certain extent.
That reminded him, he needed an appropriate suit fot the engagement – and a best man. Maybe one of his employees.
So he decided to go shopping.
A half and an hour later he had purchased a beautiful dark suit which was “stunning on you” as the saleslady put it, an expensive engagement ring and a bouquet of flowers as he wanted to visit his soon- to-be wife.
But his whole body cried for rest and because he passed in this very moment the café ‘Summernights dream,’ he decided that a cup of coffee couldn’t hurt. He sat in the very same corner as the day before, at the very same table.
And, just as yesterday there came the waitress – Ryn or Lyn or whatever her name was – and asked him what he wished for.
“A coffee” he answered, exhausted.
“As you wish” she replied quietly and insecurely.
While he watched her walk away, he came to the conlusion that she sure was an amusing young woman. As she came back and put his cup of coffee shakily on the table and turned to go, he grabbed her wrist almost gently.
“Please, sit down a little and talk with me” he requested
“Wha--- I can’t, sir”
“Why not?” he asked her and tried to sound genuinely.
“Marv will be mad if I talk to someone.” Marv was no doubt the owner of the café. The man that looked more like an animal than a human being.
“Well, a little talk can’t hurt.”
“I have to work,” she contradicted.
Xanatos smiled. He had her.
“I think that doing what your customers want you to do is work.”
“Ah...” she hesitated.
“Please, sit down,” he said and tugged her gently to the seat beside him.
She did as she was told. He looked her up and down. She was a little smaller than other women her age. She had shoulder-length brown hair, two brown-greenish eyes and porcelain white skin. Her hands played with her skirt and she avoided his gaze.
“I’m sorry,” she mumbled, “’bout yesterday. My friend...”
“No, I’m sorry I caused you trouble. I was a little bit down this day” Xanatos smoothly said.
“Oh – it--- it’s ok” Lyn answered, perplexed.
“Nevertheless, I would like to invite you for dinner – if you don’t have already something planned. As an apology.”
Lyn nodded absently. “No, I don’t have anything planned... but you don’t have to do this!” she finished hesitantly.
“Oh, but I want to,” Xanatos replied huskily. Lyn blushed slightly. “I’ll pick you up at...?”
“19.00 o’clock” Lyn said.
“Ok, right here?”
“Yes.”
“Good, I must go now” Xanatos left the money as he had the day before on the table and turned to go. But he paused a second turned around and handed Lyn the nice bouquet of flowers.
“For you,” he said smirking and handing her a little money he added, “for your employer.”
Then he left.
Lyn stared bewildered after him.
What was that...?
