Chapter6

Riza Hawkeye was humming as she cooked her breakfast. As she served hers, she gave the Hayate's food as well. After a long preparation he went by door. "Hayate, guide the door. Don't let anyone in alright?" The amazing dog nodded his head and watched the door close. Riza once checked his list before leaving.

As she got in the grocery, she bought everything fast in the list. She was all alone, nd alone to feed herself, so there's not much to buy. She wishes to have her own family soon. "Last one." She said as she looked for the aisle with the 'Milk' sign. As she found the right product, she tried to reach for it. "Sheesh." She murmured.

Then someone took it for him and handed it over. "You really need a lot of those. You're getting smaller." The man said.

Riza Hawkeye looked at the man and sheepishly smiled a bit. "Sir." She greeted.

"What a coincidence, we drink the same thing" he said with a smile as he looked at his basket with milk. She gave a smile to him. "Coincidence." She murmured.

"Are you done already?" Roy asked.

"Yes sir." "I'm Roy, not sir." Roy said in a friendly tone.

"Oh, alright, Roy" she said with a smile bowing his head down. Roy just look at her reaction.

"It's not your birthday, is it?" he asked as he looked at the basket filled with food.

"Oh, it's my parents' anniversary." She explained with a smile, remembering her mom.

"Really? How many years?" he asked as they looked for the counter. "25 years." She told him.

"But you're already 26." He said in a bit confused tone.

" I know. She got pregnant first and then got married after I was born." She said as she went first in the counter. "Wow, that's different." He said as he got his turn.

"I wish I would be married soon, so I'll last with my wife for more than 25 years." He told her. "Me too..." she said as if it had a meaning.

" So how's your car?" Roy asked as she helped her with the groceries.

"It's in the shop. They're fixing it." She said. "I'll drive you home, if that's alright." He offered. "No thanks, I can go home on my own." She said with a smile.

"Come on." He said as he took her groceries and walked straight to the parking.

"Sheesh!" she said and just followed as Roy run like a kid. As they have gone into the parking area, she followed and attempted to get the bag of groceries.

"No, no ,no." He said with a his index finger waving as he was about to place the bag inside the car, when all of a sudden she tried to grab it and successfully got it and grin. He then played with her little grabbing game and laughed as he pulled her too, accidentally pinning her on the car. In the dark parking area, the two were silently staring one another, trying to say something until....

"Is something wrong fellas? " said a dark skinny policewoman in her uniform with a flashlight, pointing it on them. "We ran out of electricity as of the moment, so the lights will be back soon." She said.

Roy realized their positions and scooted further from Riza. "Uhm, uh... we were just...." Roy said, trying to explain their previous situation.

"I know sweetheart, you're trying to do something to that poor innocent young woman." She said with her hands on her waist while pointing the light on Roy's face. The two were dumb struck.

"But you know what, I'm always available sugar daddy, just call me." The policewoman murmured and winked to him. Roy just chuckled deep inside, while Riza felt a bit.... envious.

"If you don't mind ma'am, we got to go." He said as he signalled Riza to go into the car while he did. "Fine, sweety! Just remember, call sugar mama anytime!"

Both sighed as they finally got out of the parking area. Once again, silence was present.

"That was some woman, huh?" Roy spoke out his thoughts soon after 5 minutes of silence.

"Yeah, she looks like she's still single and virgin." she smiled at the thought.

"Yeah, I really think so. She was really ... so .... energetic." He said with a laugh. Riza smiled as well. Both were in silence once again, when Roy asked " You look pretty with a skirt." He said as a compliment.

Riza felt her cheeks a little hot, then said in a curious, unusual tone.

"Really now. Thanks, but do you want me to do anything for you?" thinking he wanted something. But as she thought of it, t sounded a bit different with the tone she used.

"I mean if you are having any jobs for me to do, work jobs I mean." She said as she quickly corrected her statement, seeing Roy suddenly smile.

"You actually think I'll tell a compliment in exchange of something." He asked with a bit hurtful joke tone Seeing his face so pitiful she said. "No, that was just a joke, I'm sorry."

"I understand." He said with a warm smile. He said after. "Riza?" he called her attention.

"yes sir?" she said. "Why can't you call me by my name? It's just one syllable-"

" Old habits die hard.... Ro-y." She said cutting off his sentence. He then smiled.

"What's with you and miniskirts? I mean, they're so nice and flirty- I mean, fluffy." He said with his encouraging tone. "Then wear them, they look gorgeous on you." She spat with a laugh.

"You know you're a beautiful and gorgeous woman, why don't you just try one?"

"Cause it's disgraceful, irritating.... and..."she thought for a while. "...nice" Roy said.

"very disgraceful, and unwomanly." She said as she got the right words.

"But it will really look perfect with the uniform." he insisted.

"But i don't want to!" she said, getting tired of this argument.

"Should i make it an order?" he said in a fake commanding tone as he drove.

"You are abusing your power Roy.!." she spat angrily now, this time, really pissed

Roy was taken aback and sat silently already. "I'm sorry." He said slowly.

"No Roy, it's my fault, I'm just tired, really tired." She explained.

"Well, we are here now. Good bye Riza. Take care." He said as she gave a smile and went down.

"thank you for the ride, ..." she replied when he raised her eyebrows, expecting the right name to come out. "..Roy..." she ended with a smile and a sigh at the same time.

"You're staying with your grandparents?" Roy asked.

"Of course. I have no home to go back anyway. They're the only family I have left." She she smiled sadly. Roy saw her lonely expression and tried to cheer her up.

"You also have us, remember?"

"Us?" Riza asked.

"The whole gang's always her for you okay?" She smiled. Roy left now.

Then, she went inside and prepared for her trip....
