Weeks had passed since the slayers had any contact, they had even patrolled in different areas to avoid each other, but tonight would be different.
Faith leaned against a tombstone and smoked on a cigarette. There had barley been any action tonight but Faith was hoping to see Buffy. She had missed her badly even though she was still so angry with her. Buffy was so confusing, one minute she was hot and the next she was cold.
Faith span around as she heard footsteps behind her, she smiled slightly. Standing there in was Buffy and she had never looked so beautiful, the moonlight glistened on her face making her green eyes sparkle. Buffy didnt speak, she just stared at Faith like she was a stranger.
"Hello to you too" Faith said throwing her cigarette over her shoulder as she walked over to Buffy.
"What are you doing here?" Buffy replied.
"Same thing as you, making the world a safer place or summet like that"
"Right" Buffy began to walk away, she couldn't be bothered with small talk.
"Buffy?"
Buffy turned around and looked at Faith, she smiled slightly as she heard her full name being used, it was rare that Faith did that.
"Look, I dunno how to say this, but I am just gonna say it. I love you and I know you love me too. I dunno what yer problem is and I don't think I wanna know. I have apologised so many times to you, I...I dunno what else to do. Buffy, all I,m asking is you tell me where I stand...with us cause your the only reason im sticking around here" Faith sighed and looked down at the floor.
"What you talking about Faith? Are you saying...your going somewhere? Buffy felt sick thinking about Faith leaving Sunnydale.
"I hate this B, I hate this town and the only reason I'm here is cause of you. I need to know what you really want. I hate to this to you but you either tell me how you feel or..."
"What? You just leave town? Are you for real Faith?"
"I'm sick of your games B, I know I overstepped the mark when I...you know but Buffy I have loved you from the moment I met you and I hate that I feel like this..."
"What did you just say?" Buffy looked confused.
"Erm...hate feeling like this?"
"You have loved me since...Faith I...had no idea...I thought this was recent,. So your telling me you have loved me since the first night we met outside the Bronze?" Buffy stepped closer to Faith.
"Yeah, I thought you were the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on. I love your strength, I love everything about you. I think your the...one B. I know your probably thinking this is bullshit but..." Faith stopped talking as Buffy placed her hand on Faith's cheek.
"Faith, I don't want you to leave...but what do you want from me? What do you want me to say? You cant just expect things to always go your way..."
Faith cut Buffy off and kissed her. Buffy responded and melted into the kiss. After a moment she pulled away.
"I just want you to tell me how you really feel" Faith said running her fingers through Buffy's hair.
"You already know, I mean that spell you did..."
"I want to hear you say it, without the hesitation, without lying to yourself" Faith wrapped her arms around the blonde slayers waist.
Buffy looked uncomfortable at first. She took a deep breath and locked her eyes with the brunette.
"I love you Faith but I don't think I can trust you. I think about you constantly and it is so damn confusing. You can't just expect me to forget what you did, I can forgive you. I want..I don't even know I just know that I wanna kiss you right now" Buffy felt herself blush.
Faith smiled. "I don't expect anything from you B. All I wanted was you admit how you really feel. So what do yer say we skip patrol and.." Faith ran her hands down to Buffy's hips. "...go back to yours"
Buffy smiled and took Faith's hand. She didn't say anything. The slayers walked back to Buffy's house and the minute the door closed Buffy pushed Faith against the door and passionately kissed her.
