3 Thank you sooooo much for all the support that you have been giving me. I just want to say thanks to all the people who keep me writing, all the reviewers. I'm once again sorry I haven't updated and hope you'll understand. Read on!
Roy stood in the elevator, dreading the hell that was going to come once Riza saw their room. As they rode up, Havoc and Breda kept blabbering on about how great the rooms were going to be. Riza seemed to be to engaged with holding Hayate to notice something was up.
Havoc and Breda were sharing a room, just as Fallman and Fuery were. Roy knew he himself had a roommate, although he expected that it would be over before his stuff hit the ground. Originally Roy had booked a room that had two beds, so he thought that after the initial shock, Riza would settle down. Now they were forced to share a bed, one that would be surrounded by things to get two newlyweds in the mood. Roy started to mentally go through his will in his head, however he felt that the only person not laughing at him was Hayate. He looked down at the small puppy. The dog looked up at him then turned away as if he knew there was going to be trouble.
"You…You traitor." He whispered through his gritted teeth.
"What sir?" Havoc asked, trying not to laugh.
"Nothing." He quickly replied but then glared at the dog. It was then the dog peed in fear.
"Sir, why are you tormenting Hayate?" Riza asked, picking up her puppy, who was almost praying that she wouldn't be mad at him. The other four couldn't help but admit that the dog had emotions that were easy to tell.
Almost as soon as they got on, Havoc and Breda reached their room on the third floor. As they got off they pulled Roy close to them.
"If you die can I have your apartment?" Breda asked innocently.
"I'm so sorry Colonel, but you put yourself into this position." Fuery tried to comfort his commanding officer, however Roy couldn't feel worse.
"It was all that elderly couple's fault, giving you a nice update for your wife." Havoc joked, shoving him in the shoulder. Roy glared at him, in anger and in pure fear.
It was on floor later that Havoc and Fallman needed to get off. When Havoc got off he gave Roy the sign he was dead. Fallman just laughed as he waved goodbye. They both joked as they walked to their room
"What was that about sir?" Riza asked, turning to Roy with one eyebrow up.
"No…Nothing…" Roy said shaking. Riza just looked at him funny and then turned her attention to the dial moving up the floors.
"Sir, what floor are we on?" She asked.
"What's so important about the floor we're on?" Roy suspiciously snapped.
"I was just curious." Riza said in her monotone voice.
"Sorry, we're on…" Roy looked down to the special key that had a heart on it. Inside the heart read the floor number, fourteen. "Um, the fourteenth floor."
"Sir, is their something you need to tell me?" She asked, Hayate licking her face as if to distract her. Roy secretly thank him.
"Um… well, the rooms I booked was accidentally booked… so they switched us…" Roy said, trying not to sound scared.
"Oh, that isn't that bad." Riza said, playing with Hayate with her hand. Roy held in his sigh of relief, but then remembered that his four subordinates knew the true story, and they would tell Riza. He then fell back in the same place he was before.
It was then that the dial read fourteen and the two got off the elevator. Roy all of a sudden knew how all prisoners feel when they walked down death row. He slowed his pace, hoping Riza wouldn't notice. She didn't, she was petting Hayate. Roy looked towards her, right now she seemed so innocent, like a little girl playing with her puppy. He smiled then switched back to scared. He saw their room.
From the outside it was obvious that it was going to be a honeymoon suite. The door had on in gold numbers that read off 1408 in nice cursive letters. The door was brown with a weird pink tint. Underneath the numbers read "Do not disturb" in beautiful cursive letters. Riza looked at it as if it was a piece of a puzzle she couldn't figure out.
"Is this your room sir?" She asked, wondering why Roy hadn't taken her to her room.
"Um, no… it's actually.." He was so scared to utter the next word.
"Mine sir?"
"Ours… actually…" he then did a nervous laugh.
"What did you just say?" She then turned to him, anger and embarrassment in her face.
"Um, it's going to be our room."
"Sir, do you mean that we are sharing a room?" Roy nodded then cringed, waiting for pain. When it didn't come he looked at Riza. She looked like their was a black aura around her, her eyes angrily pointed towards him. She had a death glare. She then closed her hand into a fist and punched him upside the head.
"Sir!!" She exclaimed embarrassed. "Are you trying to get me to sleep with you?!"
"What? No! I, well… to tell you the truth I didn't have enough money to get you your own room so I arranged that we would have one room but two beds. Then when we got downstairs that old couple offered to upgrade our room to the honeymoon suite. Honestly Lt. I never meant it like that!" If looks could kill Riza would have destroyed not only Roy's body but his soul.
"How could you do this?! There is no way!"
"Why don't we just go in, if theirs a sleeper sofa I'll sleep on that and you can have the bed." Riza didn't sound convinced but angrily motioned for him to open the door.
Inside the room was a mixture of red, pink, and purple all around the room. The bed was in front of them, a red heart shaped bed with red covers and pink pillows, perfectly made. To the right was a bathroom, which held inside a bathtub fit for two. Their were candles spread about the room. Roy looked around for a couch but their was none. All that was their was a bar with barstools, the bed, and the bathroom. It was filled with pictures of roses and hearts. Riza blushed and then turned to Roy with yet another death glare.
"What are we going to do now?" Roy asked, turning to her with an embarrassed face.
"You…" She said pulling her gun out and pointing it towards the space between his eyes. "are going to find room in Havoc and Fallman's or Breda and Fuery's room." She ordered. Roy almost saluted her and walked away with his arms raised.
"Please I'm sorry!" He said.
"I will pay for this room and your troubles, but right now I need you to GET OUT!" Riza yelled, slamming the door leaving Roy and Hayate outside. Hayate looked up at him like he was sorry. Roy picked him up and pet him. It was an omen that right as he did Riza opened the door and scared the puppy so much that he peed on him. Roy didn't realize until he started to feel something wet on his chest. When Riza saw she took the dog and set him inside saying "bad dog". She then turned back to Roy.
"Do you want me to clean that for you?" She asked, feeling a little guilty knowing he had only meant the best. But it was also the colonel and his best sometimes turned out to put her in an awkward position.
"Um… well," He started when Riza opened the door for him to come in. Once inside she closed the door behind him.
"Give me your shirt." She said, referring to the outer shirt of the military uniform. He nodded and did so. It was then that they realized the undershirt also had pee on it. Riza blushed and opened her arm for him to give it to her. When he gave it to her she turned around and went into the bathroom, pulling something out of a brown messenger bag she carried with her. It was, from what Roy could tell, some kind of pet stain remover. She put some of it on the shirts and then ran water over it. She then returned the shirt to him. She was blushing.
"You're going to need to wait for that to dry." She advised. He just put up his hand and put on the undershirt, leaving the outer shirt hanging from his arm. "I'm going to call front desk to see if there are open rooms." She said, turning away from him. Roy looked down at his shirt, the whole front side was wet. He heard Riza start explaining the situation to the person downstairs.
"Well, you see, something came up and we need another room, is there any open…" She then paused and frowned at what was said to her. "Oh, I see… No it's okay… We'll figure something out…" She said, than said her goodbye and turned back to him.
"The whole place is booked." She then motioned her eyes to the front door. "I think it would be best if you would sleep in one of the guy's rooms tonight." He nodded and turned to leave. Riza turned around and looked to the bed. "This is going to be weird." She said to Hayate. He only wagged his tail and curled himself on the bed, falling asleep almost instantly. She then sat down and looked around the room, and sighed.
Roy however was walking down the hallways searching for the other's rooms. He then found the room that Havoc and Fallman claimed to be. He knocked on the door, expecting Havoc or Fallman to be there. Instead when the door opened a small demure woman appeared. Roy was about to explain he had the wrong room when the woman started to scream.
"Sex Offender! Sex Offender!" She shouted. Roy held up his hands as if to tell her she was fine but instead she took that as him trying to assault her. She then grabbed some pepper spray from somewhere inside and sprayed him in the eyes. He then fell down to the ground, eyes burning. By now the woman had slammed the door and alerted all of the neighbors, including Havoc and Fallman who were one door down.
"Sir? What are you doing over there?" Fallman asked. Roy glared at him.
"I…I thought….I thought you were in this room?" Roy said, pointing to his assailants room. They both shook their heads. Roy got up, eyes red and trudged into their rooms. They both looked at each other as if sending mental messages.
"What happened?" Havoc asked. Roy turned to him, eyes tired.
"She kicked me out. There were no rooms open, so I came here." He said exhausted. The two others looked at each other. "She freaked out."
"What did you expect? You force her to stay in a room meant for newly-weds and you expect her to smile?"
"No. I expected her to kill me, at least that ends the long agony of the trip. This will be fun." Roy said sarcastically.
"Yeah, and only seven more days." Roy groaned.
A/N: Oh, by the way, the reference to 1408 was intentional. My friends and I stayed in a 1408 and we all were freaked out. It's an ooooommmmeeeennn!
