Breakfast

Chapter dedicated to first commenter Page_Turner_56

Ben's POV
"Morning mimosas?" I offer Rey, as she turns over in bed. 

"That sounds nice, bring me back one."

"No." I draw out. "Get up, get dressed, and join me for breakfast. Breakfast was included in the price."

"Fine." She draws out right back. 

Jak sqwacks and ruffles his feathers in the dresser draw. 

"You want food?" I ask and he makes little noises and goes back to sleep. "I'll take that as a yes." 

I look back over and Rey is asleep again. "Come on." I pick her up bridal style.

"To breakfast." She mumbles and points out a window. 

"Other way and wake up or I'm putting you in the shower."

"I'm up!" She almost jumps free of my arms. 

Rose's POV
"Good morning Miss Paige." My usual server, Nathan, greets me and sits me at my usual table with a mimosa already there for me. 

"Thank you Nathan." I sit in the chair he pulls out for me. "Any interesting new faces this morning?" 

"Not yet, an interesting pair came through last night though. I must say, you can't miss them if they come in this morning."

"They stick out that much?"

"Yes, like a pitch black painting in a white hallway of nothing."

"Yikes." I chuckle, but hope it's a resistance member. 

"Pardon me." Nathan nods his blonde curls bob. 

I sip my mimosa and lean back, taking in my surroundings. 

I recognize some monthly travelers, the other usuals, but scan the new faces carefully. They all look like they belong.

I get up from my table and head to the pastry bar, grabbing a small plate to begin my morning. 

The usual morning small talk of who won big and who lost it all begins among the usuals. 

"Congrats on your streak last night Miss Paige." An older gentleman who strictly plays slots congratulates me, grabbing a blue muffin for himself and taking a bite. 

"Thank you." I nod my head and turn almost running into Vic. "Vic." I catch my breath.

"Good morning love." He takes a bite of his fruit in hand. "Didn't mean to frighten you."

"You didn't." I step around him. 

"Vic." He mocks me grabbing his chest for dramatic effect.

"You startled me. There's a difference." I take my seat at my destinated table. 

He takes the seat across from me. "Yes, frighten and startled are different." His foot slowly goes up my crossed leg. 

I uncross and move my chair back some. "Don't push your luck." I straighten my posture. 

A giggle is heard, but a familiar one. I glance slowly around the room for the source. 

"Aww the usual spying." Vic raises an eyebrow and joins in. 

"I'll pay you to shut up." I say and tend to my cream puff. 

"Deal." He takes another bite of his fruit and eyes the room.

Nathan comes over and fills Vic a glass of champagne and orange juice, creating him a mimosa.

"Thank you sir." Vic picks up the glass the second it's full.

"The outcasts have arrived. In the corner, futherest from the food." Nathan tells me.

I give a nod and he fills my glass and leaves again.

I take a sip and lean back just enough to catch a glimpse.

I choke on my drink and quickly set it down, grabbing my napkin.

"You okay?" Vic leans forward.

"Excuse me." I stand and make my way over to them.

Her eyes find mine first and I stop a step away from her.

"Excuse me, can you tell me where the bathroom is?" I ask.

"Why don't I show you." Rey replies and gets up. "Stay here." She tells Ben.

"This way." I instruct her.

Once inside and I pull her into a hug. "Oh my maker. You guys finally found me!" I say while shaking.

"Found you?" Rey questions and pulls away.

"Hasn't the Resistance been looking for me? Did they get any of my messages?"

"We aren't with the Resistance."

"Wait, hasn't anyone saved Finn?"

"Where's Finn?" Her eyes widen. 

Finn's POV
I wake blinking as the blinding white light shines in my face.

"So who is it today Yerha or Halo?" I ask the light is pull out of my face.

"Your favorite." Yerha smirks.

"Can we just skip to the beating today?" I offer.

"Save me time and breath. How thoughtful." She places a hand over her heart. "Allow me to return some thoughtfulness. Beating you isn't doing anything."

"Took you what a year to figure that out?"

"It's only been four months. I have better plans of use for you."

"And what mind that be?"

"Bait." She smiles and a pair of guards come into the interrogation room.

Rey's POV
We walk back to the table so Ben may be includes in the conversation and because another lady walked into the bathroom and eyed us.

"You haven't been able to contact the resistance in four months?" I ask retaking my seat.

"Poe visited us almost three months ago." Ben chimes in.

"Yeah he interrupted our wedding." I point out.

"Awww congrats, but yeah I have no clue what is going on, but we need to go back for Finn." Rose tells us.

A blonde hair waiter and the a man with bushy brown hair come over.

Ben slides his hand into mine in my lap.

The blonde clears his voice first. "Miss Paige, it appears some First Order personal are here looking for your friends."

The bushy brown hair man pulls out some money. "We weren't here."

"Who wasn't?" The waiter asks and bushy hair responds with a wink and pats the guy.

"Let's go." He urges us.

"Backdoor is this way." Rose leads us, holding up her dress to quickly walk and Ben and I stand going after her hand in hand.

"I got a ship we can buy." Bushy hair says.

"Of course you do." Rose sighs.

"We have the Falcon." I tell her, stopping her.

"Falcon it is." Rose says.

"We forgot Jak!" I stop and tug on Ben.

"I'll get him." He turns to head back.

"No, go to Falcon. I'll meet you there." I turn and begin running before he can disagree.

Finn's POV
"Where are you taking me?" I ask Yerha who has her back to me.

"The bridge. You're going to issue a statement that you are still alive."

"They know I'm alive. They also know that I'm willing to die for the resistance."

"You're hopeless." Captain Halo comes up from behind. "More so than Yerha."

Yerha raises a hand and Halo falls into the wall.

"I may not be able to read minds, but I'm still more powerful than you." We continue leaving Halo behind to recover herself.

"Consider yourself lucky Finn."

"Lucky to be in captivity of the weakest force user."

Yerha stops dead in her tracks and turns.

"As soon as we get what we need. You're dead... I'll see to it myself." She turns and we begin walking again.

A/N: Fun fact, Vic was created after a real person and they have now ghosted me. I'll try and not take that out on the character though 😂
