Chapter 11: Watching
"Why do you do that?" Roy asked Riza as he settled next to her on the couch.
"Do what?" she asked relocating her gaze from the window to his face.
"Why do you sit there and watch it rain?"
"I find is relaxing," she answered, turning back to the window.
They sat in a calm silence for a while before she spoke.
"Why do you do that?" she questioned, still watching the drops fall.
"What?" he asked as though he had just snapped out of deep thought.
"Why do you sit there and watch me?"
At first he was surprised that she knew but then he took into consideration who he was talking to.
"Because you're the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen," he answered honestly.
"That Mustang was the cheesiest thing I've ever heard," she said with a laugh which caused a few strands of hair to fall across her face.
He reached over and gently moved the before softly saying "Yes but its true"
She smiled before leaning into his arms and they sat there for the rest of the afternoon. Her watching the rain and him watching her.
