Every Once in a While

Poe shrugged, "I don't know, was I?" I shoved his shoulders playfully, he fall back onto his bed.

"You said it." I replied, leaning over so that I was hovering above him. "Where's bb-8?" I asked, sitting back up and taking a look around the room. Whenever I had been in Poe's room, the small droid was always present.

"He likes to shut off in the closet," He shrugged.

"You lock your droid in a closet?" I feigned a shocked look.

"He likes to sleep in the closet, I don't know why!" Poe was laughing. It was still raining out, and I was starting to think that I would be stuck in Poe's room all night, it wasn't the worst situation to be stuck in.

"I was gonna ask you out," Poe reached back to tuck his hands behind his head, "Out there, where it was nice and....I didn't picture asking you in my room."

"Hm," I nodded, "Well, I didn't picture that I would look like a wet cat." I motioned to my wet hair and down to my body which was engulfed in the warm blanket.

"Wet looks good on you." We laughed simultaneously.

He groaned, turning to bury his face into a pillow, "You know what I mean," He mumbled. It was nearly silent, excluding the rain fall and Poe's soft laughter. I snuggled into the blanket, shifting so that I was lying to next to him. I reached my arm out slowly, pulling the pillow away from his face, I placed it so that my head was resting on it comfortably.

"I'm tired." I yawned. Poe looked over at me, extending his arm to pull me in closer. I obliged happily, I buried my face in his chest.

"Right," He gave me a squeeze, "Wanna go out?" I chuckled at how quickly he had blurted it out.

"Don't laugh," He hugged me tightly, squishing my face against his chest. "Okay," He inhaled sharply, "I'd like it if you were my girlfriend." I pulled away as far as he would let me. I couldn't help but laugh, he sounded so cute.

"Isla," He was restless, "What are you laughing about?"

"You." I giggled once more, "And how cute you are." I shimmied my arms out of the blanket, wrapping them around his neck. I pressed a soft kiss to his chin and then another to his cheek. "I'd like to be your girlfriend." I mumbled against the skin of his neck. I left a trail of soft kisses on his
jaw. My stomach fluttered at the thought of Poe being my boyfriend.

He moved swiftly, so that he was hovering over me, I smiled up at him. I ran my hands through his dark hair, slowly.

"You're cuter." He moved his head to the side, kissing the inside of my arm.

"We can argue about this all night." I laughed.

"We could," He nodded, "I'd rather kiss you, though."

I glanced down at his lips, "Go for it." I don't know what it was, maybe I was elated to actually be Poe's girlfriend and that lead me to kiss him roughly, I couldn't get enough. I leaned up a bit, pulling his head closer to mine. My hands moved down so that I was gripping his shoulders. Poe flipped us around, so that I was hovering over him. I pulled away from his embrace, realizing that the blanket wasn't wrapped around me anymore.

"Sorry," He mumbled. I glanced back at him, biting at my lip.

"What?" He perked up.

"Don't be." I lied next to him, turning so that my body was facing him. I made sure to keep one hand on the bottom of the shirt, making sure it wouldn't ride up. We were back to kissing, this time Poe was doing the heated kissing. He cradled my face in both his hands, I rested my free hand against his chest. There was something alluring about kissing while it was raining outside. Poe was kissing and biting my neck. I sighed, letting my hand rest in his hair.

"I don't want to get carried away." He breathed out, his face only inches away from mine.

"Oh." I sighed in defeat, I was thoroughly enjoying getting 'carried away'. He gave me a questioning look,

"What?" He asked.

I shook my head, "Nothing." I wish you hadn't stopped.

"There's something." He pressed his forehead against mine.

"I-I...It's nothing." I laughed, hoping it was dark enough so that he wouldn't be able to tell that I was flustered. I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell him that I wanted to keep going, I don't think I would be able to get it out. He kissed the top of my head,

"You're a terrible liar."

"I'm not lying." I huffed. It sounded pretty convincing to me.

"Starting this relationship off with lies, huh?" He raised an eyebrow. I laughed slightly.

"I just-" I stopped, wondering if there was a right way to word it, "I'd like to keep going, that's all." I was watching him closely, ready to analyze his reaction.

"Are you sure?" He whispered. His eyes had widened a bit, but he was staring at me intently. I nodded slowly.

"I'm sure."

Poe was kissing me passionately, his hands moved from gripping my waist or holding my face. I relaxed into the mattress, enjoying the feeling of his mouth against my own. My hands were in his hair, caressing the back of his neck, and anywhere else I could get my hands on. He trailed his hand down, so that he was caressing my leg. I stifled a giggle as he moved his hand to my inner thigh. I squirmed, trying to get used to the feel of his rough hand against my soft skin. We pulled away for a moment, breathing heavily. He moved down, letting his hand reach under the shirt. His hand rested against my stomach as he moved so that he was pressing soft kisses on my neck. I closed my eyes and sighed softly as his hand moved higher. I arched my back slightly, pressing my chest against his cold hand. I could feel him smile against my neck.

"Want to take the shirt off?" He mumbled against my shoulder. I could only nod. He moved back, giving me enough space to sit. I knew if I thought about it for too long, I would find some silly, self conscious reason to stop what we were doing.

"Take your shirt off first." I challenged. I don't think I had ever seen someone take their shirt off so quickly, Poe tossed his shirt onto the floor, he was smirking at me. I couldn't help but roll my eyes, I scooted towards the edge of the bed, I gripped the bottom of the shirt and pulled over my hand as swiftly as I could. I lied back down before looking over at Poe.

"Sorry," He blushed, "I'm staring." He shook his head softly. I took a deep breath in, trying to hide the fact that I was very much embarrassed, not that I wasn't comfortable with Poe. There was something unnerving about getting naked in front of someone for the first time.

"You're...I can't even think of a word that would express how amazing you look." I couldn't help but smile. Poe moved to the edge of the bed, giving me one more look over.

"Poe." I said impatiently. He laughed, he was hovering over me in seconds. He gave me soft kiss before moving down, he started trailing kisses from my neck all the way down to my breasts. His kissing turned into small flicks of his tongue. I sighed sharply, letting my fingers run though his now tousled locks. He moved onto my other breast, his free hand traveled downward. He glanced up at me, raising his eyebrows. I nodded in approval. I was trying to stay still, but in between the licking and soft caressing, I was having a hard time. He nudged my legs open with his hand, I obliged hesitantly. He was caressing the inside of my thigh, moving his hand so that he could do the same to the other side.

"Poe." I tugged on his hair, "Stop that."

"Why?" He smiled.

"You're teasing me," I groaned, "Take your pants off." I could hear him chuckling, but he moved away, standing beside the bed as he fumbled to undo his belt. I was staring up the ceiling, trying to convince myself that this was really happening.

"Shit." Poe groaned. I looked over at him, sitting up. He was bending over, grabbing his shirt and slipping it on.

"What are you doing?" I asked, furrowing my brows.

He grabbed his shirt, the one I had been wearing, he handed it to me quickly. "There's someone at the door." I reluctantly put the shirt back on, who the hell would be at his door this late?

"Should I hide in the bathroom?" I asked quickly, I didn't even want to think of the idea of someone seeing me in Poe's room, barely wearing any clothes. Poe was already at the door, I had only been able to stand up before he had opened the door.

Dammit.

It was General Organa. She was standing under a massive black umbrella, making her seem smaller than she actually was. She didn't say anything at first, she wasn't even looking at Poe. She was looking at me. I could feel the heat rise to my cheeks, I could wonder what was going through her head. Can I get in trouble for this?

Poe started to explain. "We got caught in the rain-"

"I don't need an explanation on what you do when you aren't on duty, Commander," She put a hand up to silence him. "I do apologize but I have to cut this short." She pointed towards me and then to Poe. I should've just hidden in the bathroom, and I would've if Poe hadn't been so darn quick in opening the door. She whispered something to him and they stepped out. I took the time to walk into the bathroom, poking at my not so dry clothes.

I heard Poe walk back in and I made my way to the door frame. He was getting undressed once again, rummaging through his closet. He slipped on black jeans, a black shirt, and a light brown leather jacket.

"I'm sorry, I have to go." He said as he spotted me, "Must be important since I'm going alone." I stayed silent, watching his tie up his boots.

"Hey, you aren't mad, right?" Poe asked.

I shook my head, "No, I understand."

"I enjoyed it, even if we didn't-"

"I did, too," I smiled, "I don't think it's fair that I didn't get to see you naked."

He chuckled, standing up and walking over to me, "I'll make it up to you when I come back, I promise." He was holding my face in his hands, making me look up at him.

I smirked, "I'll hold you to that." He kissed me just as passionately as before. He pulled away but I held on tightly to the ends of his jacket. I hugged him as tightly as I could, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Be safe." I said as I pulled away.

"Oh," He gave my shoulders a squeeze. "I always am. But I'll be extra safe." He leaned over to press a kiss to my forehead. We both laughed as we watched BB-8 roll out of the closet.

"I told you." Poe laughed.

"Stay here 'til morning if you want, I don't think it's going to stop raining any time soon." He called over his shoulder.

"What will people think when they see me leaving your room early in the morning?" I asked teasingly.

"That you're mine?" He winked, shrugging a shoulder. He shot me one last smile before walking out the door.
