Three Little Words
Summary: Sequel To: Before The Dawn, Darla returns
Faith sat at the bar, looking for vampires. Someone came up from behind to nuzzle her neck. She turned around quickly, and saw that it was Angel. He kept kissing her neck, and slipped his arms around her waist. She raised her hand and placed it on the back of his head and pulled him closer, then pushed him away.
"Angel, what the hell!" Faith said in a hushed voice so no one else could hear.
"What?" he said innocently.
"I'm on patrol!" she said quietly.
"So, it's not like Wesley would mind if we had a little fun," Angel said nibbling her ear.
"Fine, there's an arcade across the street," Faith said trying to resist him.
"I meant together," Angel said kissing Faith again. Faith, once again, pulled away. Not because she couldn't be with Angel at that time, but because Darla had stepped into the bar. She immediately pulled Angel into a kiss, and, leading him by the arm, went back to her apartment.
&&&&&&
Faith got off the bed and quickly got dressed.
"Where you going?" Angel said relaxed.
"I still have to patrol," Faith said grabbing her jacket as she headed for the door.
"I love you," Angel said before she left. Faith stopped when she heard this. She turned to face him.
"I'll be home in soon," she said depressed.
&&&&&&
"Stupid, stupid, just tell him!" Faith scolded herself. She dusted another vampire, "Why can't I just tell him!" she shouted in her mind.
Another vampire jumped out at her, game-faced. She quickly turned him into dust.
&&&&&&
Faith walked into her apartment. She was about to enter the bedroom when she heard voices. It was Angel and someone else.
&&&&&&
"Why are you here?" Angel asked.
"Because you want me here," Darla said tracing Angel's jaw line, with her index finger.
"No, I don't," Angel said.
"Then why did you invite me in?" Darla asked.
"I don't know," Angel asked fear in his voice and suddenly Darla kissed him.
&&&&&&
Faith continued listening. What she heard she didn't like. Angel had invited her in. Then she began to think of what could have happened between them before she had gotten there. She was starting to get possessive of him. She wanted to be able to see what was happening. She opened the door just a little, and what she saw she didn't like.
&&&&&&
Angel pulled away. "What the hell are you doing?" he shouted.
"Don't try to resist," Darla said pushing him onto the bed. Darla mounted Angel and ripped his shirt off. At that moment Faith kicked the door open.
"Get off him!" she shouted.
"Slayer!" Darla shouted as she got ready to fight.
"Get away from him!" Faith shouted defensively.
Darla turned to Angel, "you've been rooming with the slayer?" she shouted angrily "should have known! You were always weak!"
Angel was hurt, he looked at Faith. What Darla had said had really pissed her off. That's what broke whatever was left of her sanity. She ran at Darla and began to beat her, Angel didn't try to stop her, he knew that when she got like this, to let it happen, once he had tried to stop her from going all out on a vampire it nearly got him staked. Faith punched Darla in the face, she flew into the wall and then crashed to the floor. Faith pulled a stake out of her pocket.
"Faith!" Angel called out. Faith looked at him, there was fear in his eyes. She dropped the stake and ran towards him, she kissed him. Darla jumped at Faith and knocked her to the floor. Angel grabbed a stake out of his pocket and thrust it into Darla's heart. He immediately dusted. Angel had a lot of explaining to do. Angel opened is mouth to speak, but was cut off by Faith kissing him.
"I love you," she finally said. Angel was overwhelmed with joy and pushed her onto the bed.
