(really, what else is there to say?)
Chapter Six- Good Girls Go Bad
Riza was mortified, struggling lightly against the arms that encircled her. It was like her best dreams and her worst nightmares had combined into one. Roy must was holding her tightly in his arms. That was good. She didn't mind that at all. However, they were up on a stage, in from of about five hundred people. Riza didn't mind physical affection, but she had this thing against PDA. It made her uncomfortable, especially when it was her. So, not knowing what to do, she settled for blushing and struggling a little. God, when she sobered up he was so going to pay for this in blood. Lots of blood. And kisses. Wait, did she just think that? She really hated her head some days. It popped up in the most random places with '' thoughts.
Roy was grinning like mad. He hadn't had this much fun teasing Riza since they were ten years old. He was enjoying every minute of her being in his arms, too. It felt right, kind of like something had been missing and now wasn't anymore. Roy blinked, surprised at himself. Must be the liquor, he though as he spun Riza around and let go of her leaving them standing a foot apart. She was glaring at him, but beneath that he saw something in her eyes that said she might not mind it as much as he thought.
Roy grinned, saying, "I don't think either of us has won yet. Therefore, I'm opting for more direct competition." Riza looked at him for a second in confusion, before understanding flashed across her face.
"You want me to sing with you? No way, we all know I won fair and square," she said, crossing her arms.
"Oh come on," Roy whined, his eyes shining playfully. "If you don't do this, we'll never know for sure! You be like, in your nineties, sitting in that rocking chair thinking 'Boy, I wish that I had finished that competition! Now I'll never know which one of us was better!'. And then…"
"Stop!" Riza yelled, covering her ears with her hands. "Okay, fine, I'll do it! Geez," she grumbled, taking her place across the stage from him. She already knew which song he had in mind.
"I knew you'd see things my way," Roy crowed, walking to his side of the stage and pulling the mike to his face. Addressing the audience, he said smoothly, "Hey guys! Me and my friend are going to sing you a song, because she just loves me so much!"
"Do not!" Riza yelled into her own mike as everyone on the floor cracked up. In the corner, Havoc and the others could be seen rolling on the floor, busting their sides. She huffed. Roy snapped his fingers and the DJ sensing his cue began to play the music. The crowd roared and began to dance. Roy smirked, singing loudly out to the crowd.
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad!
Edward, out in the crowd, snorted and shook his head. He couldn't believe them! Actually I could, he thought as he knocked back another drink. They were both that crazy, especially while under the influence. He watched with a drunken grin as Roy turned to Riza and began to sing.
I know you're type
Your daddy's little girl
Just take a bite
Let me shake up your world
Cause just one night couldn't be so wrong
You make me want to lose control
Al, sitting at the table, was startled by a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw May standing there, cheeks flushed red from all the dancing she was doing. "C'mon Al, you have to come dance!" Not finding any resistance in his gaze, she laughed and dragged him onto the floor where the office plus the people from Xing were dancing. Al went along all too willingly, up for anything May suggested.
Roy smirked in Riza's direction, who blushed at the implications of what he was saying. No way was she even going to go there. Roy, moving to the beat of the music, began to move towards the center of the stage and sang out,
She was so shy
Till I drove her wild
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
She was hanging in the corner with her five best friends
She heard that I was trouble but she couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good-Girls-Go -Bad!
Havoc laughed so hard he thought he might hurt something. There they were the ambitious Colonel and the uptight Lieutenant, dancing around onstage like they were drunken teenagers. It was like they were completely different people. Roy looked like he was actually having fun, while Riza had a genuine smile on her face. Riza was even dancing to an outrageous song like Good Girls Go Bad. Heck, they were singing it! Havoc chuckled, wondering exactly how many drinks they had consumed tonight. It was funny how different you could act under the influence of alcohol. It let you explore sides of yourself you never knew you had.
Riza smiled a Cheshire Cat smile. Well, if that's the way he wanted to do this, two could play at this game. Moving her hips a little, she began to walk forward with a catty smile on her face, singing,
I know your type
Boy you're dangerous
Yeah you're that guy
I'd be stupid to trust
But just one night couldn't be so wrong
You make me want to lose control
Roy's eyes were wide, looking at the way Riza was moving. The Lieutenant was putting on a show, dancing around for the whole club to see. In casual clothes, blonde hair free of its usual hair clip, Roy almost didn't recognize the woman in front of him. She was stunning, that was for sure. Giving her a look as she reached center stage, he faced her and sang,
She was so shy
Till I drove her wild
Riza and Roy shared a grin before they sang,
I'll make them good girls go bad
I'll make them good girls go bad
I was hanging in the corner with my five best friends
I heard that you were trouble but I couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good-Girls-Go-Bad!
Roy and Riza began to dance, moving with the music as everyone on the floor went wild. Al and May were dancing together, the office had this group thing going, and Ed was dancing on top of the bar. Everyone seemed to be going crazy to the beat of their song.
Roy pulled away a bit, and so did Riza. Walking towards her, he sang,
Oh, she's got a way with the boys in the place
She knows that they don't stand a chance
Riza also walked towards him with a bounce in her step, singing,
And he's got a way with the girls in the pack
It's like their too hot to dance
Getting closer and closer, they two kept singing until they met in the middle.
Oh, she's got a way with the boys in the place
She knows that they don't stand a chance
And he's got a way with the girls in the pack
It's like their too hot to dance
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go baaaaad!
They sang together as Roy picked Riza up, spinning her in a circle before setting her back down on the stage. Breaking apart, they shared a mike as they sang face to face.
I was hanging in the corner with my five best friends
I heard that you were trouble but I couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good-Girls-Go-Bad!
Finishing the song, Roy felt swept away in the moment as the crowd went wild for the two singers. Looking at her, he saw someone who was more than just his best friend. He saw someone that filled in all the holes in his life by just being there, who had held him when he cried, who followed him even when he felt like he didn't know where he was going. She was his everything; that was the only way he could put it. So, feeling brave in the moment of success, he pulled her into a hug, wrapping his arms around her while he briefly buried his face in her hair. For a moment he felt her freeze, but then she leaned into it and Roy knew everything was going to be okay.
Roy pulled out of the hug, and Riza stepped back so she could look at his face. He looked so at peace, so complete that for a moment he took her breath away. He looked like a man who had everything he could ever ask for in his life. He leaned in close, and Riza's world stopped turning as she felt his lips brush her cheek. Then he pulled away, looking her in the eyes and saying tenderly, "I love you, Riza." Then her world started to turn again and everything suddenly felt right, like this is the way her life had been all along. She would have followed him anywhere, but now she knew exactly how far she was going to follow him.
So she looked up at him and simply smiled, taking him hand. "I know," she said simply, joy ringing in her voice like a clear bell. "I knew it all along."
Roy let out a breath he hadn't realized her was holding, giving her a brilliant smile. "Thank god for that," he said fervently before leading her back to the table, feeling more content with his life than he had ever been before.
Awwww, isn't it so cute? Drunk Ed coming up next chapter!
