"Hey," Faith said softly when she saw her girlfriend opening her eyes
the
next morning.
"Hey yourself. What are you doing up so early?" Cordelia asked softly,
burying her face in the crook of Faith's neck.
"I told you I was going to watch over you all night," Faith said gently,
kissing the top of Cordelia's head.
"You know that's the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me?" Cordelia
asked gently, almost giving in to the urge to go back to sleep in Faith's
arms.
Faith just smiled, feeling her heart soar at Cordelia's words as she
began
to play with the cheerleader's hair. "I've never done this before,"
Faith
told Cordelia, keeping the girl from returning to slumber.
Cordelia looked up at her confused, hoping that something wasn't wrong.
Faith just smiled reassuringly at her and gave her a soft kiss. "Pillow
talk. I've never been around in the morning for this before. I like
it," the slayer confessed.
"We could always make a habit of it," Cordelia said seriously, liking
the
idea of waking up in the strong arms of her slayer as often as possible.
Suddenly the ramifications of dating a girl didn't seem so bad. She
really was falling in love with Faith, and for the first time in her
life she felt like a real person. Like she was finally living. If it
meant being a social outcast, she could deal. It's not like Faith wouldn't
be able to protect her or take care of her should the need arise.
"I would have no objections to that one doll," Faith replied, pulling
her
girlfriend out of her thoughts and into a deep kiss. Cordelia moved
her body on top of Faith's as they kissed, moaning softly into the younger
girls mouth as their skin came into contact. Cordelia wasn't exactly
sure when she developed such a bad case of hormones, but as she felt
Faith's hands in her hair, on her back and on the sides of her breasts
she just assumed that the slayer had that effect on people. Faith practically
shouted 'sex' to the world with her attitude and the way she dressed,
and Cordeila felt particularly proud to be the one Faith chose to give
herself to.
between her own thighs, putting pressure against her hot center. Cordelia
let out a quiet growl, encouraging Faith just before she heard the doorbell being rung frantically. Cordelia tried to ignore it, but Faith pulled back suddenly, her slayer senses alerting her that it was Buffy standing outside.
"C stop... We gotta, its B," Faith breathed out, sliding away from her
girlfriend to pull her pants on. She heard Cordelia sighing loudly,
obviously unhappy with the interruption, but she couldn't blame her. She
wasn't too happy about it either, but obviously something was wrong for
Buffy to show up at Cordelia's house.
Faith quickly finished getting dressed in a matter of seconds as Cordelia
rummaged through her closet with the sheet pulled around her body.
"Hurry up," Faith said gently, not wanting to add to her girlfriend's
annoyance.
"Did you suddenly forget how to answer a door?" Cordelia snapped, finding
herself getting jealous of the blonde once more.
"It's your house," Faith told her as calmly as she could, wanting to hurry up and find out what Buffy was doing showing up at Cordelia's at nine in the morning.
"It's your friend," Cordelia replied letting out an exasperated sigh as she pulled some clothes out of her closet.
Faith suddenly realized the reason of her girlfriend's annoyance and walked over to her to place a soft kiss on her lips. "Our friend," she said softly before walking out of the room to open the door for Buffy. She made her way downstairs quickly and greeted her best friend with an awkward smile. Buffy gave her a puzzled look, clearly thinking that it was a little odd for Faith to be answering the Chase's door.
Faith shrugged and stepped aside. "Uhh, come in or something," Faith told
her with an awkward smile.
Buffy greeted her with a lopsided grin and walked into the house, taking a look around. "Sorry to like do this. But I'm sure you know this is
incredibly weird for me and I wouldn't be here without a reason," the blonde informed her best friend, making it sound as if she were there on business.
"So what's the what B? Vamps done usually come out in the day, so what's the problem 'cuz I'd kinda like to return to my previous activities," Faith winked at her, and the blonde caught onto what she meant.
Buffy's mouth hung open for a second before she beamed at Faith, temporarily forgetting about her own problems. "Finally got her in the sack huh?" Buffy asked, wondering if it was odd that she was proud of her friend for getting laid.
Faith looked down at the ground, a small blush creeping its way onto her
cheeks before she replied. "It's not like that B. It wasn't just sex. I... I think we made love," Faith told her.
Cordelia who was making her way down the stairs heard the beginnings of
their conversation and stopped in her tracks to listen. She felt bad for a moment, as if she was butting in on a personal conversation but she quickly decided that it was for the greater good and held her place.
"Don't you have to actually be in love to make love?" Buffy questioned,
surprised at her friends admission.
"I am in love with her B. I didn't think I would be but I really am. This
one is different. She's different. I know it's fast and stuff, but I never want this to stop. I held her in my arms all night and for the first time in my life I felt like I had regained some of my innocence. She makes me feel like I'm a good person," Faith said, sharing a lot more with her friend than she had intended, but she wanted Buffy to be clear on her sincerity.
"Remember that day I told you that I'd kick your ass if you ever thought you were falling in love with her?" Faith winced at that, but nodded slowly, hoping that her friend wasn't really going to go through with that threat.
"Well I take it all back," Buffy grinned, pulling her best friend into a
hug. "I wish you two the best of luck. But if she does hurt you let her know I'll kick her ass okay?"
"Yeah sure B," Faith answered as she pulled away from her friend. "But you
"Oh, don't worry about it. I'll deal with it. You go back to what you were doing with your girl," Buffy answered, making her way back to the door.
Cordelia felt bad for the blonde and chose then to make her presence known. When she walked up to the slayers she was infinitely pleased when Faith wrapped an arm around her waist and gave her a kiss. "I know you're not trying to leave already. If you interrupted what we were doing, you so better stick around and make it count or else I'm just going to have to go super bitch on you," Cordelia told Buffy, which was her unique way of asking the blonde to stay.
"Yeah, see B. Stay and we can be like the Three Musketeers. Except women
without the swords and horses and stuff. But we can bond?" Faith asked, glad to see Cordelia making an attempt to make friends with Buffy.
sat down on a recliner, pulling Cordelia into her lap possessively while
Buffy took a seat on the couch. "So what's wrong?" Faith asked, cutting to the point.
Buffy looked at the two of them a bit uncomfortably. She didn't really like the idea of going into this with Cordelia there, still assuming that the brunette would just torture her at school with what she was about to say. Realizing that Faith was serious about the girl however made her understand that she was simply going to have to get used to her being around. Besides, if Faith didn't trust Cordelia she wouldn't be putting her best friend in a position of opening up in front of her. Taking a shaky breath Buffy just gave them a lopsided smile and the simplest answer she could.
