Faith sat at the dining table laying playing cards out in front of her. Willow had gone out some time ago to buy ingredients for spells; Buffy and Kennedy were out on patrol. Faith had so far amused herself watching TV, playing her x-box and trying to relax in the bath. She still didn’t get the appeal of long luxurious soaks, with lots of smelly scents and bubbles. Buffy had tried to explain to her that the long baths were an essential part of winding down and made you feel relaxed and refreshed, but they’d never worked for her so far.

The two slayers had spent every second together over the last few weeks they had been together, and although things were still fantastic between them they had agreed that they should spend a few hours each week apart. They enjoyed everything they did together, that they finally agreed that they should patrol on Tuesdays and Thursdays with one of the other slayers or alone. That had seemed to be working out good for the two of them, since when they did patrol together not much slaying ever seemed to get done. Instead they found that making out and sex outside was far more exciting. Shuffling the cards expertly she dealt another round, her heart skipping a beat, as she heard the front door opening, hoping that it would be Buffy back from patrol.

“Hello, anyone home?” Willows head appeared around the corner.

“Just me.” Faith's excitement faded.

“Are they still out on patrol?”

“Yeah.”

Willow placed the bags at the bottom of the stairs and joined Faith at the table, staring at the cards “I'm guessing you aren’t reading your tarot.”

“No, Solitaire.”

“Winning?”

“Only when I cheat.”

“You must be pretty bored?”

Faith sighed “Yep.”

“You know I was watching something on TV last week. It was on really late, they were all sat round this big table playing this game for like loads of money. Anyway the guy won like half a million dollars in one night.”

“Late night poker?”

“Yeah, looks really fun.”

“You wanna learn?”

“Ooh please. Not for money though.”

Faith got up and went to the kitchen, returning with a large box of matches “No. We’ll be playing for these.” She poured the box out onto the table, guessing roughly by sight half of them and pushing them over to Willow. “Right, now for the rules.” She explained the basics to the red head as she dealt out the cards. “Anything else I'm sure you’ll pick up as we play ok?”

Willow face lit up as she picked up the two cards she’d been dealt “Oooooo.” She jiggled up and down excited at the two aces she held in her hand.

“Good hand there Red?” Faith laughed.

“No.” Willow calmed herself.

“Just for future reference; if you do get a good hand you might wanna play it cool.”

“Noted master.” Willow placed her hands together and bowed her head jokingly to Faith.

Later on Willow smiled as she looked to the ever growing pile of match sticks in front of her “Must be beginners luck.”

Faith grabbed the bottle of Jack from the cabinet and two glasses “Change of tactics, I'm gonna resort to getting you drunk to change my luck.” She smirked at Willow.

Willow dealt the cards as Faith poured them large measures of alcohol “How are things with you and Buffy?”

“Five by five, why?”

“No reason I haven’t really spent anytime with you or her alone lately.” Willow grabbed a coke from the kitchen and poured it into the glass with the Jack.

“Whoa, you’ll kill it.” Faith dived across the table grabbing the glass.

“I wasn’t gonna fill it; it's just a bit strong on its own.”

Faith conceded and handed her the glass back “Is B not happy?”

“What makes you ask that?”

“You randomly asking me if we were ok.”

“Yes, I mean no.” Willow shook her head “Buffy is so happy right now, not that she doesn’t deserve it, but I'm kinda jealous.”

“Jealous?”

“Yeah. Look at you sat here waiting for her, trying to act all cool that she’s not here. I saw how disappointed you were when you saw it was me coming home.”

Faith shuffled in her seat “I wasn’t.”

Willow smiled “Liar.”

Faith finished her drink “Witch.” She smirked “I can’t help it I feel… It's like, when we’re not together; something’s missing and I can’t seem to function right. That sound weird?”

“Sounds like you two finally realised you’re meant to be together. It's more than slayer connection, more like soul mates. You make each other feel whole, like the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle; you both fit each other.”

“Wow Will, never would’ve put it like that. But ya got the nail on the head. And you and Kennedy?”

“We’re working on it, she’s been great. I never thought anyone would fit like Tara did but I'm moving on. Kennedy’s patient and caring and I know she’d never hurt me, I just need time to heal fully in here.” Willow placed her hand on her heart.

Faith held out her glass to Willow “I hear ya Red. Here’s to soul mates past and present, and to healing old wounds. Oh! And the amazing sex with slayers.” Faith smirked.
