Just one more moment 3
Five minutes and thirty-two seconds after five pm, Fuhrer Roy Mustang finally pushed open the door to OldCafe. The good smell of fresh brewed coffee and baked rolls hit his sense of smell. Roy took a deep breath of the refreshing odour. After eight hours sitting behind his desk doing endless paperwork, a good cup of coffee was something he really needed
The young Fuhrer observed the café surrounding, searching for Lieutenant Quinns. Several waiters who noticed him quickly bowed down for their country leader. Roy smiled as he acknowledged them. This was the reason why the Ametrisian loved their Fuhrer. He was a friendly man toward the people of Ametris. Then, he spotted the woman he was looking for.
Lieutenant Quinns was seating at a two-person table beside a large window, overlooking the café's small garden. She waved at him. Roy made his way towards her.
"Sorry I'm late. Work never seems to end at my office. They kept coming and coming," Roy greeted.
Quinns smiled, "it's alright. I know that this country Fuhrer was a busy and hard working man. I just got here too."
Before they could continue chatting, a waitress came with a menu book. The poor waitress was shaking as she handed the menu to the führer. It was her first time seeing the country leader this close and she had never thought that one day she was lucky enough to serve him in her humble job.
"I'll have a cup of black coffee and..." Roy turned from the menu to the waitress, "and a slice of blueberry cheesecake please." He flashed her his heart melting smile. This caused the poor lady became a klutz as she wrote down the orders.
"Is that all sir?" her voice was shaky. Roy nodded, then he turned to the red haired woman in front of him. "How 'bout you?" he asked. But Lieutenant Quinns shook her head, "I ordered already. Just before you came in, sir."
"That's all. Thanks," Roy said to the waitress. Clumsily, she nodded and bowed. Then, she walked away with the Fuhrer's orders in her hand.
Roy got his eyes glued to the poor figure and silently he mouthed a whistle for the waitress. Old habits die hard, right?
Roy returned his attention back to he woman sat in front of him. One of her hand was covering her mouth as she tried to stifle her laugh. Roy raised an eyebrow.
"What?" he asked as the lieutenant in front of him took a sip of water.
Lieutenant Quinns shook her head. "Nothing important sir," her smile was still plastered on her beautiful face.
"Well, there must be something that amused you just now. Tell me this instant or you want me to court-martial you?" he joked.
"Hmm... Sir, you are married to General Hawkeye right?" Roy nodded; feeling weird that she asked him about Riza. "From what I heard and read, General Hawkeye is the best sniper in the military. She also happens to be the scariest gun-handler in Ametris," Roy nodded again to her statement.
"She used to threaten the old Colonel Mustang team with gun whenever the team was procrastinating in doing paperwork," this time Roy smiled. How he missed all those sweet moments.
"So don't you feel afraid sir?" Adrianna Quinns asked.
Roy still couldn't decipher what she was trying to tell him just shook his head. "I don't really get it."
She wanted to sigh, but instead she forced a smile for him. This Fuhrer in front of her could be one dense person. How did he became the nation leader?
"If she knows that you did your 'womanising act,' wouldn't she be mad? Or threaten you with her brand new gun that she just bought?"
Roy laughed. "You know my wife, huh? Well, she knew that I loved her and I wouldn't lie to her. She trusted me and I wouldn't betray her trust. I love her. I was made for her."
Those words loathed Quinns. She wanted to puke just by hearing that sick-sweet words produced the man in front of her. But, she couldn't blow her cover. Not yet if she wanted to destroy this man. She will destroy this man until he couldn't even live with his life anymore. That was the reason why she transferred to Central HQ.
"Err, Quinns are you alright?" His voice brought her back to the present world. She instantly shook her head.
"Sorry sir. I was just thinking how lucky you are to have someone really special in your life," she smiled sweetly for him. It just disgusted her by doing so.
Roy smirked. "Thank you. I'm really grateful to have her in my life. No one understand me like she does... Ah! I'm blessed with her. The best thing that had happened to me is her."
Quinns just nodded her head, "it's true," she said.
Suddenly, the female waitress came back with their orders. The waitress, by the name of Ayumi, rattled as she placed a cup of tea and a slice of apple pie for Lieutenant Quinns. Ayumi shivered even more when she placed Roy's orders.
"A cup of tea with a slice of apple pie for ma'am and a cup o black coffee with a slice of blueberry cheesecake for Your Highness, sir." he voice was shivering and Roy had to do his best not to laugh at the poor lady.
"That's all. Thank you for your splendid service, Miss Ayumi," Roy complimented. This caused a sudden blood rushed to her fair face. The waitress quickly bowed and rushed away. If he wasn't the Fuhrer or married to General Hawkeye, Ayumi's eyes would had turned to hearts. The Fuhrer was so handsome and he just made her heart beat a thousand times faster than the normal rates. Unfortunately, the man was happily married and he was the nation leader.
Both of then sat in silence as they took a bite of their food. Roy was really enjoying his cake without realising that Quinns had her gaze on him. She was observing his every single moves. Her brain was working to its limit, trying to figure out how to execute her plan. She needed to put the potion into his drink to hex him. But she founded it hard to do. His drink was close to him and she couldn't put the potion without him noticing it.
But then, the fate seemed to be on her side. The waitress, came rushing at them. She bowed at both of them and turned to Fuhrer Mustang.
"Your Highness, sir, you have an important call from the headquarters," she said.
"Okay thanks," he wiped his mouth with the napkin. "Excuse me for a moment," Roy smiled at her and then he got on his feet. He walked towards the counter to receive his phone call.
As soon as Roy was out of view, Lieutenan Adrianna Quinns quickly pulled out a small bottle of colourless liquid from her purse. She took of its secure cap. She going to hit her plan into action right now. It is now or never. She looked around to make sure the coast was clear. No one was watching at her direction. She turned her gaze back to the liquid in the bottle and then at Roy's coffee. She poured it. The whole small bottle of unknown colourless liquid was poured to its last drop into the Fuhrer's drink. The plan was in place and she couldn't back out anymore. The führer must die and before he died, well he must suffered first.
Quinns stirred the coffee and unknown liquid mixture with the spoon. She wiped the spoon to make it looked like it was untouched. Then, she turned to her pie and took a bite; acted like nothing had happened. She did the right thing when Roy came back to the table only half a minute later.
"Sorry for the interruption. It seems like they were some sort of problem at Headquarters," said Roy.
"It's alright. Do you need to go back to office?" she asked as she tried to keep a cool face. If Fuhrer Mustang must go now, he need to drink that coffee no matter what. Or she will lose this opportunity to jinx him.
"Nope. I already asked Colonel Havoc to take care of the problem. He is one of my most trusted subordinate," and his answer relieved her.
"I wouldn't let a woman that I had a date with to be left alone just because some petty problems at the office," Roy grinned. He sat down and took a sip of his coffee. His eyebrows scrunched together as his brain brought out
the slightly off taste of his coffee. It was a distinct taste that just didn't fit with the coffee. The coffee tasted bitter and like a spoonful of soil was thrown into the coffee. But they weren't the coffee usual bitterness. It was something else. However, Roy couldn't think what was it. So he just shrugged it off. Maybe they were using a new type of Java, he thought.
Quinns was looking at the man in front of her as he took another sip of his coffee. The way he frowned made Quinns heart pumped faster. What if he noticed something was wrong with his coffee? Surely he wouldn't drink it. And if he didn't, the potion might not work. He must drink all of his coffee!
"So, Lieutenant, let's carry on with our chat, shall we?" Roy asked. The question surprised Quinns. She didn't expect him to ask her a question. Well, not if he had just tasted something weird in his coffee. She just nodded her head as the answer.
"So how's your life ever since the days in academy?"
"Life was okay. Well, it filled with endless of military works. But that's my life."
"Do you have any special man?"
"There was this one man that I'd a crush on. Sometimes ago that was. During the days in the Academy, that was," she stated.
"Was that guy me? I got plenty of love letters back then and I know I was one of the popular guys," suggested Roy.
Yes. "No, not you sir, I'm afraid," Quinns chuckled.
"So who's the lucky guy?"
"Just a cadet that quite popular. But that was an old story."
"Oh... No more men after that?" he took another sip of his coffee.
She shook her head as she tried to hide the grin. "I don't have the time sir. Military works had prevent me from socializing. I even barely had time to give this poor body some rest."
Roy nodded as he continued chatting with his friend. Well, he thought she was a friend. He didn't know or notice that the woman in front of him had planned something sinister and terrible for him.
Almost an hour later, they finally reached the end of their conversation. Quinns didn't want the friendly talks between the Fuhrer and her ended so quickly. But, since Roy had drank bottom's up of his poisoned coffee, it was okay for Lieutenant Adrianna Quinns. Her plan had been executed. And the Fuhrer will suffer terribly before he died. Something that she had been thinking a lot. She had been planning this disastrous scheme for a very long time. Ever since she graduated from Ametris Military Academy, a year after Roy's.
"Do you want me to drive you home?" he asked as he took a few hundreds notes to pay for their hi-tea.
"Thank you sir. But I think I'm thinking about walking back home. I need to burn these calories off."
"Are you sure? Every women in Central are dying to be with me and just thrown away an opportunity of a life time," he joked.
"I'm not going to disturb people marriage sir," I only destroyed them until at one point, you'll commit a suicide.
"If you said so. Nice meeting you again, Quinns," he shook her hand then gently, placing a kiss on it.
Quinns flushed. Whether it was real or fake, only she was the one who knew it.
Then, both of them split as their houses were in different direction. Being a good husband, Roy didn't forget to buy the trust-worthy pet its food. He went to the grocery store, grabbed a beg of dog's food and hurriedly back home.
Riza already waiting for him as he drove into the house compound. His woman, the one and only woman that had melt his heart, was playing with Black Hayate.
"Hi there, beautiful."
"Welcome home, honey," greeted Riza as she placed a kiss his cheek.
The Flame Alchemist grinned his widest. This was what he really loved coming back home. All the day worth of tiredness seemed to disappear just like that when he looked at her, his Riza. His life was perfected by her. How he loved his Riza.
"Here's Hayate's food," he handed her the bag.
Hayate barked happily when he heard his name and 'food.' The now-full-grown dog quickly nuzzled his owner's legs with a special face-lick for Roy. Roy patted the dog's head and tickled it. Hayate barked happily while Riza giggled at the sight. Roy was a loving man towards her and the dog. If they had kids, he sure will be a loving father. But it wasn't their time yet.
She sighed, without realizing it. Roy stopped playin with Hayate as soon as the sigh knocked on his eardrum. He stood up. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..."
Roy wasn't convince with her answer. He had known her for a long, long time. It wasn't easy for her to lie to him. He could read her like a book.
"I know something's wrong. Now, would you like to tell me, General Hawkeye?"
Upon hearing her rank and maiden name, Riza cracked a smile. It was rare for Roy to call her like that after they got together. He called her link that when they were in office with other people. If there were only two of them, he always called her... Plenty other romantic names like 'honey, love and others.
"I was thinking about having kids, Roy," her voice was barely a whisper.
Roy took a deep breath. He knew that Riza wanted to have kids at the nearest time. Both of them weren't that young anymore.
He took a step forward. Then, he placed his arms around her perfect waist, brought her body closer to his. He hugged her. Her head leaned on his torso. She fit perfectly in his embrace.
"When the time comes, surely we going to have kids. Plenty of kids. Maybe half a dozen kids?" he tried to calm her.
Riza smiled to his statement. "I really hoped so, Roy."
Roy nodded without knowing when the time comes, he was hundred percent poisoned by Quinns with her unknown potion.
A/N: How is it? Writing about Quinns was quite a hardwork since I don't know how to explain her. She was one complicated being...Drop me some reviews, feedbacks or comments.
