After Faith dusted all the vampires she made her way to where she knew her long time friend Star to be. Before she could even great her Star spoke up in her soft voice.
"And who was the civilian that we including in the patrol this time?"
"Okay, Giles." Was her snarky retort. Faith sighed as she looked at her friend. She hadn't meant to get the dude involved. But at the same time she had saved his life. "But I totally..."
"Stop, yes I know. We saved his life. Vampires bad, saving people good. I get it, girl. But you couldn't just..." She sighed and ran a hand through her curly, brown hair. "I am turning into Giles aren't I?" Her doe-brown eyes got wide as Faith chuckled.
"Come on girl, let's grab a bite to eat. Because I am..."
"Yes, yes. Hungry and horny. Let's focus on the hungry right now, huh?"
Faith grinned as they left the graveyard and made their way to the nearest steakhouse for eating pleasure. And hey the night was still young, so it was possible she would have time for the other kind of pleasure she was hoping for. But at the same time going to a steakhouse wouldn't likely yield what she was looking for. Not in a guy anyway, sure bros tended to hang out there, but their attention was on their other buddies, the food, and likely the game or whatever was on TV. A bar on the other hand. That was prime real estate location. The amount of guys at a bar were always in the high numbers. Especially since the reason they were there was the same reason she was going to be there, which always made things easy for her. Now she would just have to fly it by Star, who always seemed to be anti one night stand more into commitment and thought Faith should do the same.
"Hey, lover, how about we nix the steakhouse and hit a bar instead?"
"Is the reason we are going to the bar is so you can find some low life to drag back the motel room?"
"Psh na, I was just thinking," she walked up and linked her arms with her friend. "Since we're getting a little low on the dough I figured it would just be the smartest choice. I mean hell I could probably get us a full course meal for free... Why are you shaking your head no?"
"I admit that a bar would be the slightly smarter option, definitely less pricey than a steakhouse, but you are not going to seduce or tease or anything else like that to get us a free, or discounted or anything like, that meal. Capichè?"
"Okay, you know big words confuse me. Say that again?"
"Faith, stop trying to act dumb. You and I both know you are smarter than that," Star paused for a moment. "I'm just going to go ahead and stop myself. We've been working really hard lately. And I suppose we do deserve a night out, and a free meal wouldn't be bad. However." She gave Faith a pointed look. "Nobody besides us will be returning to the motel tonight. Promise?"
"Pinky."
They pinky promised before turning directions and heading toward the nearest bar.
'I'm not really turning into Giles am I?"
"I have been contemplating calling you little G," Faith answered with a laugh.
"What? No, that so... so wrong!"
"Oh! How about G.J. For Giles junior! Or maybe J.G. Switch it around."
Faith laughed more as Star reached out and swatted at her.
"Come on, I need to get my booze and food on." Faith then intertwined her fingers around Star's as they walked the final few feet to Sundance Saloon.
Faith grabbed the door for her friend and held it open, once Star walked in she followed suit. Smiling to herself to took in everything that was the bar. The music. The smells, ranging anywhere from food to the disgusting smell of vomit. The dim lights, except for those at the bar.
Despite her earlier protests Star did not attempt to stop Faith in any way as she zoned in on the guy that would be buying them dinner. Faith used all her tricks, first getting him to get them drinks, soon followed by dinner with a promise that would not be kept, of both girls sharing a bed with the guy in question. Luckily for her, the guy was already pretty drunk and after losing a round of shots to Faith the dude soon passed out where he sat. She then collected the dinner and made her way over to the table that Star was currently sitting at, watching the whole experience go down in case Faith needed backup, not that she ever did, or ever would as most guys even sober couldn't take her.
"I feel like I should have gone for honey barbeque wings with blue cheese dressing and fries since we were getting this for free."
"I told you, " Faith mumbled around the giant bite of double bacon barbecue burger she had just taken a bite out of.
"Still, this is a pretty good salad."
"You're not gonna leave the burger and just eat the salad are you?"
"No, and before you no you cannot have my burger either."
Faith pouted for a moment before taking another huge bite followed by shoving some fries into her mouth as well. A few moments later she chugged a good portion of her beer. In the midst of attempting to take another bite she was stopped by the question, she hardly ever heard.
"Hey, isn't that the guy you saved?"
Faith put her burger down and looked in the direction her friend was indicating. Sure enough, there was the same kid she had saved in the graveyard. She was happy to see he had made it out alive, that her efforts hadn't been in vain.
"Son of a bitch, that is him."
"Now that I see him in a better light she isn't that bad looking."
"Yeah, he really isn't. And his friend looks rather edible as well."
"Of course, you would say that."
"What," Faith laughed.
Faith eyes connected with the man in question and she gave him a sultry smiled. When he smiled back she knew she had him on the hook. She watched as he said something to the guy she had rescued. Then time seemed to slow as he turned to look at them. Faith saw in his eyes when he recognized her. He spoke something to the guy she had been making eyes with. They exchanged a few words and next thing she then they were headed to the table the girls were at.
