Chapter 2- The Date
The next day at work was a little uncomfortable for Riza. Though morning had started off as normal. She had walked to work and was now opening the door to a very noisy office. As she walked in she sighed at the complete mess of paper the Colonel's male subordinates had made. Looking around her she noticed that they all were joking and laughing about it being Friday, well all except Havoc. Jean Havoc was sitting in his chair slumped over seeming depressed.
"What's wrong, Havoc?" She asked as she passed him
"Nothing…" He replied somewhat far off.
Sighing again she decided not to press the matter. As she walked to her desk she glanced at the couch. It brought a small smile to her face, but she quickly made the smile vanish. She sat down at her desk and started her many stacks of paper work although trying to concentrate with all the noise was going to be a challenge.
After about an hour or so Roy casually strode into the office. "Good morning" He said cheerfully.
Havoc just glanced at him while the others said hello back.
"What's wrong Lieutenant?" Roy asked Jean.
"How was your date?" Havoc replied.
"Had to cancel"
"How come?"
Riza's heart stopped beating for a moment. She wondered if Roy was going to tell the office what happened the night before. She didn't want him fired because of last night.
"Riza wouldn't let me go" Roy explained.
"Didn't finish your work huh, Sir?"
"That's right" With that Roy walked past Riza's desk, winking at her as he passed. She, of course, acted like he had not done a thing. Roy went behind his desk, pulled out his chair, and sat down. Amazingly, he started his work and yelled at his subordinates to do the same.
They all worked quietly, for once, until around five when they started to wrap up. Roy and Riza were the last one's to leave, as always. Roy stood from his desk, making his way to Riza's.
"So I'll pick you up at your place?" He whispered to her.
"Alright but don't be late" She replied in a whisper.
Both then left and headed to their separate apartments.
Once Riza got home she took a shower, blew out her hair, and went to pick out a dress. She looked through her closet to find a short, dark, green dress halter style and a black short dress with sleeves. After a few moments she decided she couldn't choose. Instead she whistled. Her dog came running over.
"Which one do you think I should wear?" She asked him
The dog sniffed both dresses then paced in front of them. After a moment or two he started to bite on the green one.
"Ok, we will go with this one." Riza said picking it up. She slipped into it and went to her bathroom to put on make up. At about seven she heard a knock on the door. Quickly making her way to it, she opened it to revile Roy on the other side.
"Ready?" He asked her casually. He looked good standing there leaning against the doorframe. Roy wore black pants with a white silk top and a black jacket. He looked her up and down once. "You look great" HE added smirking his signature smirk.
Riza nodded, grabbed her purse and walked out of the apartment. She turned around and locked the door then turned back to Roy and smiled. He held out his arm and she took hold of it as they walked out of the apartment. There was a black cab waiting for them outside. The driver to out of his car immediately and opened the door for Roy and Riza who got in quickly. As soon as they were all three settled the driver took off to wherever Roy had instructed him. The cab driver did not slow down until they reached the restaurant Shinji.
Roy and Riza headed inside and were seated immediately . They handed Riza and menu and Roy one too. Both ordered then waited.
"Nice place" Riza said casually.
"I thought you might like it" Roy replied smiling.
The two talked, joked laughed, and got a little romantic until the waiter came back with another menu.
"Wine, Sir?" He asked Roy handing him the menu.
"Umm how about this one." Roy replied pointing to one of the wines
"Very good, Sir" The waiter said snapping the menu closed, nearly missing Roy's fingers, and walking away only to come back a few moments later to pour the wine and give them the bottle. After he left the two got a little more romantic until the food arrived. Once they were done Roy took Riza back to her place. This cab driver decided to take it slow noticing the couple. Roy was sitting in the backseat holding Riza in his arms while she didn't take her eyes off of him. Roy whispered many things in her ear some making her blush. Once the cab stopped Roy helped Riza out of it. They walked to her apartment door where they stood facing each other.
"Thank you, Sir. It was an enjoyable night" Riza said.
Roy just smiled and moved closer to her snaking his arms around her waist. He then pulled her closer to him and kissed her passionately. Riza in turn wrapped her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. When they finally pulled apart Roy asked her one simple question….
"May I come in?"
(It is done! I am SO sorry the update took so long. I had no idea where to go with it after the first chapter. So I once again apologize to the readers.
Will Riza say yes or turn down Roy once again? What do you guys think? Review and tell me )
