To Make Him Jealous
Chapter Two - Tickets and Traveling
"Riza?" Roy asked. He heard a bag hit the floor witch a thud and decided he should check on her.
"Riza?" He peeked into her room and saw her sitting on her bed staring at her open small duffel bag. She seamed to be going over a check list in her mind as she pointed to things in her bag.
"Camera. Five pants. Five shirts. Wallet. Hat. Sunglasses..." She stopped and turned around to see Roy staring at her. She looked back at her bag and silently counted the last few things in silence.
"Let's go, ready?" Riza said as she picked up her bag. She looked over at Roy who was leaning in the doorway, a cane in his right hand. He shrugged and allowed Riza to carry his bags out to the waiting taxi cab.
"Airport on Main Street please." Riza told the driver as she and Roy got into the car. The drive was long and quiet, the only sound coming off the driver's CB radio. Roy sat a distance from Riza and stared out the window. Riza did the same, neither really wanting to talk, but both desiring to. After the long quiet drive, the driver stopped the car and assisted Riza and getting out.
"Thank you, sir." Riza said and paid for the drive. A man from the airport arrived just as the taxi pulled away. His blue uniform and matching hat caused Roy to look away. It reminded him of the military. Riza handed the man their bags and he took them to customs where they passed and then were loaded onto the large jet plane. Roy dragged behind Riza, watching the people pass by. He listened to all the noise as he dragged along.
"Mommy daddy!" "Flight 215 now boarding." "Person missing glasses please come to the desk." "Mommy buy me this., please." "Roy." "Thanks for flying Central Air." "Flight 532 now boarding." "Daddy I need to go to the bathroom." "Roy." "Don't forget to check carry-on bags at the check desk. Thank you. "Roy!"
Roy snapped out of his trance when he heard Riza call his name. He looked up at her smiling face.
"Wow, I was right, you do need a vacation. And some sun." She smiled and poked his pale face. Her smile seemed to brighten his mood a little. He always loved her smile. He smirked back and she lead the way to the boarding dock.
"What flight are we?" Roy asked.
"Flight 215." Riza replied as they walked to the boarding dock, checked pass ports and tickets then were allowed to board. They walked onto the plane and were led by a flight attendant who was wearing a blue skirt uniform. Roy just stared and Riza relized the flight uniforms were very similar to the military, except the mini skirt. She tapped his shoulder and pushed his forward to the row they were sitting in.
"First class. Nice." Roy smiled as the sight of the food cart that was being pushed down the aisle.
"Thought you would like it. Take the window please, I don't do flying very well." She smiled and he agreed. He sat down and she sat next to him. They were the only two in the row of seats. There was a seat next to Riza on the aisle, that no one took. Riza leaned her head back on the soft gray seat and stared up at the ceiling of the plane. She sighed as the pilot began to speak.
"Thank you for flying with Central air today. We hope you enjoy your flight. Please watch the attendants as they demonstrate the proper use of all the emergency procedures. Should their be a problem, the air masks will fall and this is how you put it on. Should their be a real emergency their are parachutes above your head and the emergency exits are to the left and the right. Please buckle your seats when you see this light and remain seated until the light goes off. Again thanks for flying Central Air." The pilot clicked off and the attendants went to go sit as the light came on. Riza took a deep breath and closed her eyes, her hands gripping the seat arm rests tightly. The plane began to move then soon was in the air. Roy sensed Riza's tension and placed his hand on her's.
"I think you need a vacation." He smiled at her and she smiled back.
"Yeah, one 'on' the ground." She replied. As soon as the light went off, Riza and Roy unbuckled their seats and began to relax. Roy even pulled the curtain down on his window so Riza didn't have to see out it.
"Why do you think I need sun?" He asked, trying to break the ice.
"Your pale." She replied, finally taking her eyes off the parachutes above her head.
"You too." Roy replied and took his hand off of Riza's.
"your more." She smiled.
"Okay, you win. Why do I need a vacation." Roy asked again.
"Because you've been cooped up in the house for months. Only leaving when I go shopping. You don't even walk with me when I walk Black Hayate anymore. And besides, I entered a contest to go see my favorite sport and I won tickets for two. Figured I'll force you to have fun, with me." She smiled at him a little playfully but he wasn't watching, he was now staring up. Riza stopped smiling and looked straight ahead. Soon a movie was announced and Roy put on the headsets to listen to it. Riza just stared at it, not hearing a thing. In her mind she made up words to entertain herself. It was a sappy movie and soon Roy fell asleep, un amused by it. Riza just watched him sleep, while resting her head back on the pillow she requested minute before.
"After everything. Am I still just a lieutenant to him?" Riza questioned herself as she thought about it.
"Will I ever be more? Is it possible? Or did I destroy that chance when I in forced the no fraternization rule at work?" Riza slowly closed her eyes and gave up the conversation with herself.
"Welcome to Daytona Florida. Please check your luggage at the gate and we hope you enjoyed your flight. Please fly again soon." The pilot said which woke up Roy and Riza. They filed out of the plane with everyone else and claimed their bags, which thankfully Riza attached colorful ribbon to both bags. They moved from the airport and stood outside looking for a ride. Just then, a black limousine showed up and held up a sign that read 'HAWKEYE'. Roy noticed it and smiled.
"Ms. Hawkeye," He bowed slightly and she looked at him. "Your ride awaits."
Riza looked over to the limo and laughed. They walked over and got in as their luggage was loaded into the trunk. The inside was black and had lights that outlined the interior and a mini bar pleased Roy. He poured himself a whisky shot and relaxed. Riza watched him enjoy himself and she just sat there.
"Something wrong?" Roy asked, turning to look at her.
"No. Just enjoying the moment of luxury." She managed a small smile .
A/N- Well? How do you like so far? If you know me, then you know NASCAR and Anime take up my life. So this is a story I just had to write. Please review. Constructive criticism allowed. No flames (Roy is the only one with that privilege)
