Chapter Thirteen - Update
As the day as winding down, the paperwork was actually finished. Riza was cleaning her gun and Roy was staring out the window. When 2200 rolled around, Riza stood up and stretched. She grabbed her leash and purse and started to the door, leashing Hayate as she did.
"Good night sir."
"Good night Brigadier General Elizabeth Hawkeye." Roy spoke quickly and never once turned around for fear of her seeing him smirk.
Riza stopped in the door way and stared straight ahead.
"Did he just say what I thought he said?" She thought to herself.
She took one look over she shoulder, then shook her head and continued her walk out of the building. She walked into her apartment and placed her purse and keys on the table next to the door. She unleashed Hayate and he ran to his food bowl. She unclipped her gun holster and placed it next to the purse. Looking at her newly designed living room, she couldn't help but smile. She walked into the bedroom and undressed. She tossed the uniform into her hamper in the closet and then just stared.
Blue uniforms on one side. Colorful new clothing on the other. She smiled and turned around. She smiled at her new bedroom... and new apartment. She walked over to her bed and flopped down. She stared up at the ceiling which is where the curtains around her bed came to meet. It kind of reminded her of a circus tent. She smiled.
"This could work."
A knock at her door caught her off guard. She sat up straight and relised she was wearing only her bra and underwear. She bolted to the closet and almost grabbed her military uniform. Old habit. But she stopped and grabbed a new outfit, the red miniskirt and red blouse. She grabbed her white military belt and put it on. She left her hair up in it's clip and walked to her wall and flipped the poster of the man over so it was now a spiral design..
"Coming."
She ran to the door and opened the it. She placed her hand on her gun holster which sat next to the door on the table. She was shocked when she saw Roy standing at her door. She also blushed due to her outfit she threw on. He was standing in a casual outfit of a white shirt, tan pants and a black jacket. He went home and changed?
"Sir." Riza saluted and let go of her holster.
"At ease Hawkeye, we're not at work."
"Yes, sir." She ended her salute and allowed him inside.
He entered the apartment and looked around with his eyes and she closed the door. She walked up behind him and offered to take his coat.
"No, that's okay. I wasn't planning to stay long at all. Actually I was hoping, if your not busy, to go grab a bite to eat and maybe a drink?"
"Sir... ?"
"Please, call me Roy. We're off duty."
"Okay... Roy."
"So, will you do me the honor of joining me?"
"Of course."
"Good, shall we go then?"
"Just let me grab my shoes."
Riza ran into her room, blushing and grabbed the black heels Anna let her keep. She grabbed her purse and while her back was to Roy, she quickly threw her gun inside the purse.
"I'm ready."
Roy smiled and offered her his arm and she took it.
"Be good Hayate."
And with that they left, leaving an upset dog who was tired of his owner leaving without him.
