She keeps me warm (15)

Glaiza had her own little bit of fun after Chynna came back from her massage appointment. Every time her best friend tried to tease Glaiza with little tidbits about what Rhian and she talked about, the short hair feigned indifference. It was driving Chynna crazy.

When the short hair pulled up in front of Rhian's apartment, she honked her horn. Smiling, Glaiza saw Robbyn appeared from the front porch window. She pushed the horn again.

Rhian ambled out on the porch with her arms crossed. "I suppose you think I'm a woman to be honked at?"

"Not in the least." Glaiza yelled back at her friend, then sent the red hair a huge smile and a wink. The short hair was in a happy mood. "Just didn't want to waste anytime. Come on."

"Where we going?" Rhian acted as if she was suspicious.

"You'll find out." When Rhian didn't budge from her position, Glaiza teased. "Don't make me come up there and get you!"

"Ha!" The red hair saw Glaiza stand up on the driver's seat and was about to step over the passenger's door, when she yelled. "Okay, okay. I'm coming. I'll be right back."

"And bring Robbyn." The short hair watched Rhian retreat behind the door. She waited patiently as Rhian emerged with her cat in hand.

When everyone was settled, Glaiza drove down the rode. "So, where we going? Or do you tell your kidnapped victims that sort of thing?" Rhian touched the short hair's elbow.

Glaiza shot her a brilliant smile. "Where's the fun in that?"

"So, I'm at your mercy?" In such a playful mood, Glaiza waggled her eyebrows again, but refused to say anything. However, the evil grin on Rhian's face caused the short hair a bit of concern. Rhian squared herself in her seat, crossed her arms before she smiled. "We'll see about that." The short hair somehow knew Rhian would prove to be a formidable force and she eagerly accepted the challenge. While both women were formulating their own plans to come out ahead in their little playful contest, Robbyn was just happy to be with her two favorite humans.

"That's not fair." Glaiza protested. Holding the ball, Rhian shrugged. "Gonna play that way, are ya?" The short hair took the soccer ball from the red hair.

"You said there were no rules." Rhian grabbed the ball back.

"It's soccer. You can't use your hands." Glaiza reached for the ball, but Rhian slipped it behind her back.

"The goalie can." Rhian winked. "All you said was I try to get the ball in between those two poles." She pointed to the sticks behind Glaiza.

Realizing she had made a fatal error, Glaiza regrouped. "Okay then. Even though I naturally assumed you would be honorable..."

"Hey!" Glaiza held up her hand to halt the red hair's protest. "...I'm gonna give you another chance. And this time, there are rules."

"Fine by me." Rhian threw the ball back to Glaiza. It hit a bit harder than Rhian had intended.

Glaiza rubbed her stomach. "Thanks."

"Sorry."

"Now, go on back." She waited till the red hair took up her previous position. "I'm gonna throw the ball to you and all I want you to do is try and KICK it back into the net."

"Right, gotcha." Rhian grinned as she waited for the ball to come rolling her way. She decided not to tease the short hair about the non-existent net again. Glaiza rolled the ball hard.

Just as Rhian was about to get a foot on it, Robbyn pounced on it. The red hair had to yank back her leg in order not to kick her cat. That movement twisted her body out of sorts, and she felt the muscle pull in her neck and shoulder. "Ouch." Rhian rubbed the right side of her neck.
