Sparking interest
Chapter 5
Roy blinked his eyes open. The first thing he noticed was the pounding head ache; then the cold and empty spot beside him. He sighed and sat up, placing his head in his hand shielding his sensitive eyes from the bright sun peeking threw the curtains.
He heard a thump and lifted his head to see Riza leaning against the door frame. She wore only his white crinkled business shirt and held two mugs of coffee in her hands. He let his head fall and smiled. He had thought she left. He glanced back up to see her look at him with her deep emotional hazel eyes. The eyes he had for so long gazed into at work. Then they seemed sharp like an eagle, in control, and calm; compared to now.
She pushed herself from the frame and walked slowly to the bedside. She handed him one of the mugs and bent her knee to sit on the other side of the bed.
He looked her over as she let her legs cross at the ankle in front of her. He ran his gaze over her delicate feet, up her toned caves and down her smooth thighs. He blinked as at the tail of the white shirt he saw a large slightly pink mark.
He set his mug on the bedside table and then turned setting his fingers on her upper thigh sliding them up, bunching the fabric with them. He gasped as he saw a the mark became a hand print. "Did I do that to you?" he asked gently. She glanced down and set her mug down. "the expressos had a slight affect on you last night." she muttered resting her head on the wooden head board, letting her eyes drift closed in exhaustion. "Im so sorry" he muttered letting his fingers drift over the reddened skin. She set her hand on his and smiled giving him a chaste kiss.
"Don't worry about it!" she laughed and sighed as she slid down to lay on the mattress. She bit down on her finger nail of her pointer finger and turned her head to see him staring at her. She laughed as he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. "I have an Idea" he murmured against her lips as they broke. "Oh, yeah..." she murmured then kissed him again. "what's that?" she asked. "We take the rest of the day off and stay in bed all day" he said.
She giggled then muttered "Absolutely not." He let out a whine in protest only to have her pull away. "Roy, we took a spare room for what we planned for an hour or two and then we ended up staying it in all day and all night long! They don't even know where we are!" she argued. "But I want to stay in bed and make you mine" he whined. "As compelling of an argument that is, we just can't; now get up and get dressed" she said pushing him off of her and sitting up,she straightening the shirt before standing.
Roy pouted for a moment before grinning evilly and sitting up demanding, "Riza, I order you to get back in bed"
He cowered at the glare shot in his direction realizing his attempt utterly failed. "I'm gonna go get dressed." he muttered standing up and picking up his clothes.
Roy sighed as he walked into his office. Taking a deep breath, he prepared himself to be interrogated about his whereabouts. He glanced up and watched as they stood up staring confusingly at him. "Sorry Im late" he murmured walking past their still bodies to his desk. "Sir, you were gone yesterday. Riza to. we found her jacket on the chair, but you were gone!" Furey rambled.
Roy sighed, "yeah, about that" he muttered scratching the back of his neck nervously. "we called Riza's apartment and Kashi answered. He told us that Riza was with him so we didn't worry about her, but where'd you go?" furey added. "Yeah, cornell, if you were going to take the day off at least tell us" Havoc sighed.
"I needed some time to catch some sleep." Roy clearly lied but the lieutenants decided not to question him. "Riza called me, she's going to be late today so we should just start without her." he muttered sitting at his desk. He glanced up at his men who stood their staring at his desk. He followed their gaze to the expresso machine that still sat on the far corner.
"oh ahh, breda, take this back to the cafe for me" he muttered waving it off as if it were an easy task. Breda sighed and lifted the machine tilting to the side before Havoc caught the other side, helping him to the cafe down the hall.
Hughes cocked his head to the side and glanced to Furey and Falmon, "Hey why don't you two go get us some coffee." he suggested. They glanced up at him then each other before slowly nodding and leaving the room. Roy sighed, he knew Mase would at least know something was really up. He glanced up at his friends knowing look. "So, how'd it happen?" he asked.
Riza ran up the stairs of her apartment and pushed the key into her door. just as she stepped threw she smacked into Kasha's chest. "Tisk, Tisk, staying out all night. That's not the Riza I know..." he teased, his eyes closed and shaking a finger at her. She sighed and moved to get past him, but he gripped her upper arm stopping her in her tracks. She turned to glare at him only for him to smile wickedly. "You had sex!" he declared.
Riza took in a deep breath. "WHAT! How did you know?" she gasped. "you're glowing, your hairs all messed up, and your walking funny, not to mention that you were out all night and the Riza Hawkeye I know aint no party girl, so spill!" he rambled the answer. She smiled and let out a sigh. "The jig is up; I told Roy you're just a good friend who tried to set us up by making him jealous" she said as she set her bag on the kitchen table and walked to her room.
He immediately followed. "so he just jumped you after you explained?" he asked. "I wouldn't put it like that!" She mumbled as she changed into a clean uniform. "so he wanted to show you your his and no one else's, classic signs of jealousy." he mumbled.
"well what ever the reason he moved so fast, it doesn't matter because we're
together now and we can give up this little charade" she sighed happily.
"Ahh, come on I was having fun." he pouted. "Sorry" she muttered. "No, its sorry lord, I was the one who started all this, you have me to thank." he said cockily. "What do you want, a thank you?" she asked laughing gently. "No, thank you lord!" he whined.
She rolled her eyes. "alright, thank you for embarrassing me in front of my co. workers, causing my boyfriend to be sleep deprived for two days, and turn to expressos so he wouldn't at all." she said. "There, are you happy?" she asked.
"yes, and you are very welcome." he answered with a smirk. Riza sighed as she pulled her boots on. "I have to go, yesterday we didn't show up for work so its safe to say someone's going to be mad." she muttered as she stumbled out of her room.
"Oh, you wont have to worry about an excuse" he said as he followed her. She turned, pushing her foot into her shoe as she set it on the floor.
"Why not?" she asked looking at him confusingly. "Because Furey called wondering where you were and I told him I was keeping you occupied" he answered.
Riza's mouth gapped open. "What! Why didn't you tell me easier!" she half yelled. "Because I thought you would be mad, thank god I was wrong" he said, his neck disappearing as he shuttered at her glare. Riza let out a loud growl of frustration as she headed toward the door. "No more lies! It's over between us!" She yelled before walking out the door. "Oh where have I heard that before?" he called after her.
Riza grid her teeth as she dialed her cell phone while driving. She set it to her ear and waited for him to pick up.
"Mustang" Roy's grumble came on the other end. "Roy, its me, turns out Furey called my place and Kashi answered and..." she rambled before he interrupted. "Hold on, let me but you on the other line" he muttered in a smooth calm tone. She sighed and nodded for her only answer.
Roy walked into his empty office and smiled as he picked up the phone in there. He smirked and mumbled suavely, "hello gorgeous."
Riza rolled her eyes. "Look, Kashi told them that I was at my apartment with him all of yesterday, so you didn't already give them an excuse right?" she asked hopefully. He sighed, "naw, they told me they called your place and Kashi answered. so I just told them I took a sper of the moment day off to rest." he answered.
She sighed in relief. "Good then, we both have a cover." she mumbled. "oh but Hughes knows." he added. she became alert, her back straightening at the information. "Why does hughes know?" she asked. "Well he called everyone out of the room and talked to me personally, he's my best friend he knows when im lying, and when i've slept with someone. It's like he can just tell its kinda creepy" he answered. She sighed. "I know what thats like" she mumbled as she turned the corner.
"Oh and hey, one thing to get out of the way, when they called your apartment and Kashi answered, does he spend a lot of time there or something?" he asked.
"Oh, he lives with me" She answered. She waited for a response, not thinking that would bother him before blurting out the information. She bit her bottom lip and mumbled "roy, you still there?"
