CHAPTER 3

[Faiths POV]

“You gotta give her a chance, Faith.” Kennedy looked at me with an eyebrow raised in a ‘trust me’ kind of way.

I sigh, “A chance for what? Her to shut me down even more? No thanks K, I’ll pass.”

“Your so blind Faith! You---“

“Hey guys…” Buffy walked up to them awkwardly, cutting Kennedy off.

Kennedy grinned at Buffy and then back in my direction, winking at me. “Sooo, I’m going to go back to Willow now. Buffy, you can sit here now if you want.”

Buffy smiled, “Thanks Kennedy.” Kennedy got off her seat to be replaced by Buffy. *Why is she back? She practically ran away from me when she got up*

“So what’s going on, B?”

She turned to face me, “Well I talked to Giles. He said we’re going to stop soon, since we’ll be in LA. He called Angel I guess and we’re going to stay with him at his hotel till we figure out who’s going where. She smiled at me. *God she’s got the most gorgeous smile.*

“Who’s going to Boston with us?”

She shrugged. “Not sure. Dawn I know will, she’s my responsibility after all. I don’t know about anyone else though. Actually, the SITs who need training most likely will too.” She grinned. “You up for being teachery?”

“A little responsibility? You seriously up to giving that to me?” I say, very surprised.

She looked a little hurt that I’d question that. “Of course I am, Faith. Look, I know you’re different now, I can see that just by being with you these last few weeks. You’re not who I used to know. And to be completely honest, I really like taithaith who’s sitting next to me now.”

*She –likes- me? No, Faith. She meanse ine in a friend way you idiot.* I raise my eyebrows, “Really?”

She smiled, “Yeah, really.”

*Wow, I wonder if she liked the old Faiths flirting I mean, she never complained. She always went with it. But, I’ll save that when the times right.* I grin, “Okay then, I’m game.”

“Good cause---“ she cut herself off when she looked out the window and noticed we were parking, “I guess we’re here.”

Giltoodtood up once he parked, “Okay, everyone’s needs to pick a roommate for the next couple of days. There will be no swapping threw out the trip because I myself do not need a bloody headache. So pick wisely. We will unload in just a minute.”

The bus was filled with loud chatter, everyone choosing who they wanted to room with. I looked out the window and sigh, I know no ones gonna want to room with an ex-con. Think I might stab them in their sleep or something. So I guess I’m taking whatever’s left.

Dawn bounded dup to Buffy, “Hey Buffy, can I room with Vi? I promise I’ll be good.”

Buffy nodded, “Yeah alright, but don’t stay up too late.”

“Okay. So who are you gonna room with?” Dawn asked her sister.

“Well um, I was hoping to room with Faith,” she looked at me, “If that’s alright I mean.”

I know my face just lit up, even though I wish it didn’t. Being obvious isn’t good, “Yeah, sure B. That’s cool.” *I get to share a room with Buffy!*

She smiled as Giles stood up again, “Alright, we have two rooms that only have one bed, so we’ll give them to some of the adults. As for the rest of you, off the bus!”

There was lots of pushing and shoving as everyone piled out of the bus. Giles led everyone to their rooms after we all said our ‘hi’s’ to Angel and his crew. Once everyone and Dawn were in their rooms, Giles stopped to talk to me, Buffy, Xander, Andrew, Wood, Willow and Kennedy.

“So like I said we have two rooms that only have one bed, and eight of us. Anyone offer to take the rooms?”

Of course Willow and Kennedy wanted to share. Figured they wanted to do the naughty and it’d be better if they shared a bed. Buffy nudged me.

“Do you mind?”

“Huh?” I should pay attention more.

“If we shared a bed.” She gave me one of those drop-dead gorgeous smiles of hers.

*Oh god, bad idea, bad, BAD idea. I’m gonna have to fight myself not to touch her. Say no Faith, SAY NO.* “I don’t mind.” *You’re an idiot Faithy*

“Okay, Buffy and Faith will share and Willow and Kennedy.” He motioned to the four rooms, “Faith and Buffy, you can take the one on the right. Willow and Kennedy can take the one next door. The rest of us will be on the other side of the hall.”

“Giles, lets call a Scooby meeting around two so we can figure out who’s going where and what’s going on,” Buffy suggested as she put her hand on the doorknob.

“Alright Buffy, now lets get settled and we’ll all have lunch.” Everyone nodded and went their separate ways.

[Buffy’s POV]

I open the door and walk in, Faith behind me. The room was nice, -really- nice. And the bathroom, God, so good. There’s a shower plus the tub was huge, with jets! *First thing, I’m going in there.*

“Hey B!” Faith called from the bedroom. I walk out of the bathroom and look at Faith, who jumped on the king size bed.

“Look how big it is! Which side you want?” She looked like a little kid, bouncing on the bed. *God she’s so cute. Wait no! I uh… damn never mind, she really is cute* I smile.

“I don’t care, we can take whatever sides available that night I guess,” I shrug.

“-Or- we could sleep on top of each other.” She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. *Yes! There’s the part of the old Faith I loved! She’s been so distant lately, and I love when we play thime, me, although I will never admit it.*

I smirk, “Oh really? Well I’m on top them.” I see her eyebrows raise.

“Fight you for it. I ain’t being sub to –you-, B.”

“Oh yes you are, F,” I pause, “-After- I take a bath.”

“Want me to join you? I feel all…. –hot-.” She sat on the bed and leaned back on her her elbows, flipping her hair behind her shoulder.

“You look hot.” *Hold damn did I just say that?*

“You want to help me cool down?”

“And how could I go about doing that?” I ask, smirking as I head to get myself a towel.

Faith sat up and ran her tongue over her bottom lip seductively, “Wash my back with cool water, if you get a little daring maybe you could wash my front, my chest especially”

“Hmm you want that? What would I do after that thought?” I take my shirt off and throw it on the floor, then turn around so my back is facing her and take off my bra.

I turn around and put a towel in front of my chest, just in time to see her attempt to pick her jaw off the floor. *I’m winning at this game, first time too. First time its actually gone this far as well. I’m liking it… a lot.*

But she gathered herself together and winked, “You really want to know what I want, Blondie? Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

*God I am sooo interested.* “Lay it on me –girlfriend-.”

She stood up and got right up in my face, “Well after your done with my chest...” she ran a finger down my neck and over my bare shoulder, “You could wash between my thighs. Touch me till I burn of want and I get you so hot you have no choice but to slip your fingers inside me and make me scream your name in ecstasy.” She leaned in close next to my ear and whispered, “Or I could do that to –you-.”

Her breath tickled my ear and I shiver. I can feel myself getting wet and I moan softly. *Oh God I want her so bad… Wait, damn! I’m not gay! I think. But oh God Faiths tongue… is on my ear?!”

Faith traced the outline of my ear with her tongue and damn I swear I’m gonna come myself right now. *I gotta get out of here, I’m going to end up fucking her if I don’t. Not that that’d be a bad thing… I mean no! Cold shower! Cold shower NOW!*

I push her away gently, “Maybe another time.” I try to control myself but I run my tongue over my lips and wink, “You can count on it,”

She grinned, “I’ll be waiting.”

I turn away and let the towel fall, so my bare back is exposed to her, and walk into the bathroom, closing the door. *God I am so worked up right now, I think I might have to fix this myself.*
