Stay Away
Reappearance
I walked into my apartment and locked the door behind me. I didn't need anymore visitors. I threw my keys down to my old car. I tried to avoid driving it since it was a piece of junk! I walked over and turned on the main light and looked at the clock. It was two in the morning. That was a perfect night wasted at Lola's doing absolutely nothing but reading magazines. I walked over to my new big screen television and petted it. Aww, it was so beautiful! About after five minutes of petting the TV, I headed towards my room. The room was dark; no light came in through my window. I hate when I forgot to leave a light on!
I glanced around but couldn't make out anything. I figured if someone was in here I didn't want to know. I started to take off my shirt when a voice startled me. "Please keep your clothes on." I heard a voice mumble from my bed! That voice! I know who it is. "What the hell are you doing here?" I practically yelled as I went to turn the light. So much for my peaceful night of slumber. "Well I saw you searching for me the other night." He said with smirk. "You saw me looking for you and you didn't say anything!" I asked feeling my eye twitch with annoyance. So he saw me looking for him and didn't say anything and then he follows me home! He just sat there with a smirk on his lips. "Well I was a little busy at the moment so I had Ed track you down and well here I am." He said as he lit a cigarette and gave a wink. "Aww, you missed me so much you had Ed track me down! I knew you wanted me but sneaking into my apartment? Don't you think that's a little extreme?" I asked. "Nah, anything for my little Faye-Faye." He said as he stood up. "Anything?" I asked trying to look and sound really cute and innocent, but what I probably looked like was some crazed woman ready to strike. Spike just blew smoke into my face and nodded. "Then get out! That's what you can do for me!" I said trying to push him out of my bedroom. "But Faye, these streets are dangerous! I could get hurt!" he said while swiping my hands off his shoulders and turning around to face me. His big brown eye looking sleepy and worn out. Stay strong! Don't let him stay! He's nothing but trouble! "Spike, I would be more worried about the people who have to walk by you. Bad things always seem to happen once you've been around." I said walking out to my living, hoping he would follow. Sure enough he followed. I sat down on my comfy new couch while Spike leaned in the doorway to my room. "That maybe be but according to Ed, you have the same luck?" My head jerked up to look at him. "According to Ed?" I asked raising an eyebrow. What did these people have my apartment under surveillance? I looked around on my ceiling for cameras. "Faye!" Spike yelled to get my attention. Grr, hold on Mr.! I'm looking for cameras! I snapped my head towards Spike to show I was listening. "She told me you were robbed about a week ago and then some guy tried to take over your apartment the very next day." He said. I could tell he was trying to keep the laughter out of his voice. My eyes narrowed at him. Did she tell you I beat the crap out of him or that I killed three guys in the dark? Bet she didn't tell you that. Yeah, well Spike I am a mean lean fighting machine! "So." Was all I said. Great way to defend yourself. That's showing him.
"So do I get to sleep on the bed or the couch? Either one's fine." He said while yawning. Oh no! If he slept on my couch he would get to watch my TV. My baby! Ugh! I took another look at Spike. He looked kind of too dirty for my bed though. "How about the floor in the kitchen?" I asked while standing up. "Not an option. You got till I come back from peeing." He said while walking towards my bathroom. Grr, I hate being bossed around! I stood there next to my television, staring at it. "Decide yet?" he asked while wiping his hands on his suit. "Couch. No bed. Grr, take the couch. No you can have the bed!" I shouted, not knowing what I really wanted. "Are you sure?" he asked, looking at me as if I had four eyes or something. I nodded. "Okay, are you coming to bed now, honey?" he asked as he walked into my room. I followed him into my room. "Whoa you really want to share a bed with me?" he asked as he lay down and kicked off his shoes. "Don't flatter yourself! I'm just getting my pj's." I spat out, now feeling like I choose the wrong place. "You know you're insane!" he snickered. I glared at him as I walked out the door. "Why is that? Cause I let you stay the night?" I asked. "No, because you're taking the couch so I won't watch your TV." He said while turning over. "How'd you know?" I asked. "I saw you petting it earlier. Now turn off my light." He ordered. Grr! I'm not a freak! I'm not!

I sat on the couch trying to remember why I was even on the couch. A green haired man came out of my bathroom. Oh yeah, Spike's the reason I'm here. "Scoot over." He ordered as he pulled out a cigarette. Mmm! That looked so good right now! I grabbed it out of his mouth and placed it in mine. I was waiting for him to protest but he didn't. He simply just pulled him out another one. Wow! That was a first. "You know you'll be the death of me," I informed him, "I had basically stopped smoking till you came back." I said as I puffed, remembering why I had started in the first place. "Yeah, well the same goes for me." He said while staring straight ahead. I looked at him questionably. "How so?" I asked. I've been a pretty good girl! He just remained in silence until we both finished our cigarettes. "So what are we doing today?" he asked with a smirk. We? Excuse me but there is no we, there is a you and then there is a me! "You're leaving." I told him, while pointing to the door. My patients are wearing thin now! "Sorry, no can do." He said as he walked into my kitchen and came back with a beer. "Spike what are you doing here?" I said almost pleading. "Just came to get my partner." He said after a drink, "Jet ain't moving to fast these days." He said laughing. Suddenly I felt very sad. Spike was no longer my partner. "Um, Spike, I have a partner already." I said. Spike didn't say anything; he just finished off his beer. "Oh and who might it be?" he asked as if he could care less. "A friend of mine." I said. There was no need for Spike to know who. "Name?" he asked while standing up. I jumped to my feet too. Spike was a big boy, besides I don't think it really matters all that much to him. "Navarro." I said. "I see. Well then I guess I'll leave now. Thanks for everything wench." He said with a smirk.
I watched Spike walk towards the door but before he could leave, Lola came bursting in. ""Oh my god, Faye! You're never going to believe what happened to me!" she said shouting, not even noticing Spike. "Um, hey Lola." I said meekly. If she got one look of Spike, she would have a heart attack. Spike was her kind of man! "Well gue- who are you?" she asked in a seductive voice. I saw Spike's face lit up. "Spike." He said with a huge grin. Oh great, this is just what I need. Lola and Spike together! "Oh, I've heard so much about you!" This got even a wider smile out of Spike, "So Faye talks about me a lot?" he asked. "Nah, she never said squat about you, I don't know why though! You're a hottie!" she said as she walked up to him. "Um, thanks but I was just leaving." He said, looking kind of uncomfortable with Lola all up in his face. "You can't go!" she ordered, "I just got here. Faye, I need to talk to you. Spike you don't go anywhere." She said with a wink while leading me into my bedroom.
"What the hell are you thinking? Letting him leave like that?" she yelled. He probably could hear everything we were saying. "He wanted to leave." I told her, only trying to defend myself. "Like hell. That is Spike Spiegel right? I heard that man was untouchable. So for him to visit you means you mean at least something to him and I highly doubt he got what he wanted from you that quick." Grr. Spike did not want what she thought from me! Gosh Lola, get your mind out of the gutter. "He wanted to be partners again." I told her. "Oh, that is a problem. Tough choice, Spike or Navarro? Shit. I'd hate to be in your shoes." She said extremely seriously. Yeah, thanks you're a lot of help but I didn't like Spike like that. He was just a close friend of the past. "Let's just go back out there so Spike can leave." I said.
We both stepped into the leaving room to find it empty. "Where the hell did that fine boy go?" Lola screeched. She was really loud for being as short as she was. About after five minutes of both of just staring around like idiots, Spike came back through the front door. "Hey Faye can I ask you a favor?" he asked. Oh no! Nothing good ever came from Spike's favors. "What?" I asked, arching an eyebrow. "Do you mind if I stay here for about a week? Jet left to go get something for Ed." He said while sounding really pissed himself. Man, this sucks. I can't turn him down. This is going to be one week of hell!!
