B's phone rings again. Will that machine ever stop ringing? By the voice I think it is Red this time. Yeah! It is Red. They're talking about the demon again, how fun. I just open the door of the car and sit on top of the trunk for a while, resting my back on the glass.

A few moments later B comes back, but there's something weird in her expression, I look at her eyes "You ok?"

"Yeah…"

"What was it?"

"have to go back to Sunnydale"

YOU WHAT?!?!?! My face shows my disappointment, but I try to hide it "Oh I..

"No you silly. You're so coming with me" she holds my hand and pulls me off the car.




[Chapter 12]



"What's going on in Sunny Hell that you have to go back, B?"

"Some stupid, cranky, I-don't-know-what-else-to-do-with-my-time demon who's after me"

"Oh, sounds like fun!"

"You coming with me, aren't you?"

My eyes wander around "I… " I exhale slowly "sure"

"You sound everything but sure, Faith" she looks down sheepishly

Right! Let's analyze, English watcher, lesbian witches, new teenager annoying person. I grab my chin quizzically "Oh I'm sure" I say sarcastically.

"Good!" she smiles "But, I'm afraid that we have to get going about now"

"Well, I agree, but my belly folds its arms and says 'no way'"

"Huh?" she frowns.

"Well, someone's got to feed me B. I can't function well unless I eat properly"

"You want to go drink some coffee or something?" she asks smiling.

"I said eat properly"

"Sorry" she laughs "You want to go to some cheap food place and feed yourself like a bottomless stomached cow?"

"Now we're talking" I grin at her, while we go to the car to go to the restaurant "And also, have in mind that no meal is complete until you eat whipped cream on top of someone"

B rolls her eyes "I see your nasty sense of humor is back"

Yeah, now that you mention it. "Now that you mention it B, I've been feeling overly sensitive today ever since I hit my head. I think it made me get in contact with my whining side"

"I'm sorry, that's quite a bruise I left you, huh?" she looks at me from the corner of her eye.

"anything for a cat fight, pumpkin" I pat on her right thigh while she drives.

For the rest of the way she doesn't say anything, which would be totally unnoticed if the car at least had a radio, but it doesn't, so the silence gets kind of odd again. I want to ask her what's gotten to her, but I'll let her drive in peace.

We finally get to some decent place and she parks the car. We instinctively get out of the car and into the place. The waiter approaches us and we order what we want to eat. We still remain silence until she decides to break the ice.

"This totally reminds me of the Doublemeat Palace"

"You eat there? I never did, it sort of freaks me out I don't know why"

She laughs "it IS freaky, I used to work there"

"Really? Wow, there must be a lot of things that I don't know about you B"

"Not that many, my life has become utterly boring"

I swallow "B, you look weird. What's up, tell me. It was Red, wasn't it? You're weird ever since"

"Uh well… It is not Re.., I mean Willow… it is not Willow."

"Then?" I look at her with expecting eyes.

"You know when I answered the phone?"

"Whu ye yu thu its…

"What?"

I swallow the food I have in my mouth "When your sister called?"

"Yeah"

"What's the problem with it?"

"She was all asking if I was kissing someone and stuff"

"Uh huh… " Oh God, am I ever going to get this girl? "So you're like that because she asked you and you denied it and you feel bad about lying to her?"

"No, not that"

"Then?"

"I'm not a kiss girl, I mean not for you"

"Excuse me ?" My eyes get way bigger now.

"I had an affair with Spike"

I spit my soda and start laughing like crazy to the point where I am actually about to choke "I so knew that"

She gets a little upset "You really did, huh?"

"Well, based on the fact that you dig vampires…" She glares at me, so I hurry up to say "And who doesn't?, but my statistics or well, my fantasies would expect that it was Druscilla instead of Spike…" She glares at me again "But ok, I'm digressing. What's so bad about it?"

"I don't know why I told you that, but what I tried to say is that I don't want you to be just an affair, I want you to be special Faith, because ever since I had that affair with him, I just don't want an affair anymore"

Uhm ok! "It is special"

"As long as we're kissing and fooling around it won't really feel special, I…" she sighs

"You…

"I want us to have a real relationship, I mean I want you to be my girlfriend, of course if you want because if you don't, or if you're not prepared or if you don't like commit… but no, I haven't expressed my self properly, I would like you to be my girlfriend and..

I love it when she gets nervous and starts blabbing, so I hold her right hand, and tell her "I love it when you do that"

"Do what?"

"The whole blabbing thing" I smile at her "Yeah, I want you to be my girl too, B"

She looks relieved, and she is also about to speak when I interrupt her "Are you going to eat those fries?"

"Oh my God, you really are a bottomless stomached cow"

"Well, try to eat jail food, and those yummy earth worm spaghettis and I'm sure you'd be like this to. So, going to eat them?"

"Not really" she hands them to me. She plays with the napkin and then suddenly looks at me "If you're coming to Sunnydale there's something I have to tell you"

"Is Xander gay now? I knew it" 

"Uh sorry to disappoint you, but that is not what I was going to tell you"

"I was just teasing you B"

"It's about my sister"

"Oh"

"She's really not human"

My eyes widen "She Demon?"

"No, she's a key made to open a portal which would release the hell on earth"

I start laughing and she glares at me as if telling me that I don't take it seriously "What's so funny?"

"Cordelia"

B frowns at my comment.

"She told me you killed yourself because your sister was playing with a key"

She tries to hide her laugh. "Well in that context it does sound pretty stupid"

"But why you telling me about her"

"Because she might remember you"

"You talked to her about me?"

"No, I mean REALLY remember you. We all remember her as if she had existed her whole seventeen years, but she came when she was thirteen and we all have been given fake memories about her and our lives together, she might also have been given fake memories about you"

"Who gives this fake memory stuff?"

"Some monks, it is really complicated to explain, but I told you just in case she remembers you so you don't freak out or anything"

"Oh, cool"

[Buffy]

… Fifteen minutes away from Sunnydale


"Great, two extra hours in the car just because of that accident in the road"

"You sound like a grandma B"

"I thought you were sleeping"

"I was until your whining woke me up"

"I'm not whining, but my ass starts to ache. We should have been here about ages ago"

"I said I didn't mind driving B, but you insisted in doing it yourself"

"Well if some cop sees you driving with such a head wound, well I would probably get a fine"




[Faith]


"Besides, now that I think about it, been stuck there didn't seem to bother you at all, when we were making out"

She blushes "Well…

"You see?" I place a quick kiss on her neck

She moans a little "But still being sitting for seven hours is a lot already, and two more" she sighs

"But they're over already, so why complain"

She sighs while she turns around the corner, she continues a little more and there is her backyard, she parks and gets off the car, and I get off the car as well. I stop her on her tracks and push her slightly against the glass and place a kiss on her lips, then on her neck, and then pull away "B… what about your friends?"

"We'll worry about that tomorrow, they don't live here. Willow has her own apartment and so does Xander. Wills was babysitting Dawnie, but I supposed she went home now that she knows I'm coming back."

I hold her close and blink my left eye to her "so the only thing we have to worry about is not being too noisy"

She kisses me slowly in the lips while I caress her back, then I pull away and starts kissing her neck. She tilts her head back and moans a little. I pull back but don't break the embrace. "Yeah, we have to keep it low, because your little sis might hear us"


"EWWW. TOO LATE, ALREADY DID" says a voice from the window upstairs.
