Nobody answered when she rang the first time and when she rang the second time, she heard Faith's voice say: "Coming, geez!"
Faith was a bit startled when she opened the door, she definitely didn't think Buffy would show up there...with a bunny! For a moment she just started at the blonde and then she said: "Hey... Angel's not here.", without offering Buffy to come in. Still, she wanted to know why on Earth Buffy had a bunny in a cage and she asked: "What's up with the little ball of fur?"
Buffy swallowed hard, cursing her brain and heart because they both worked 150% and made her wanna pass out. Faith was standing in front of her, wearing just a long shirt that was probably Angel's because it looked like a dress on her and Buffy thought she looked really sexy. It took her a moment to manage to say a proper sentence:
"My friend Anya's got a whole bunch of them, she gave me one and I asked for another cause I thought you and Angel might like a bunny. Look how cute he is!"-Buffy was very proud of herself for saying everything right, she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Faith by getting lost in the babble fest.
"Yeah... Cute..."-Faith said, thinking Buffy looked really cute wearing a Scooby Doo t-shirt and a jeans skirt. Since Buffy was still standing there, patiently holding the cage, she asked: "Do you wanna come in? I don't know when Angel will be back, but you can wait and have coffee with me..."
"I'd like coffee, thanks... So, do you want to keep the bunny?"-Buffy asked and Faith thought she'd keep an alligator if Buffy gave it to her, so she said: "Yeah, why not? I'm sure Angel won't mind. I missed having a pet..."
Buffy sat down and tried to come up with something interesting to say, but she couldn't think of anything that didn't involve Faith's full lips and those adorable dimples that showed when she smiled. She wanted Faith to smile, but the brunette looked serious while adding milk and sugar to the coffee. Finally, Buffy said: "You know, I'm glad they let you out of jail." Smooth, Buffy, smooth, mention a thing she probably doesn't want to remember.
"Yeah, I'm still surprised. Just like I'm surprised that Angel finally did something about his feelings for you."-Faith said, thinking it may have sounded a bit too bitter and hoped Buffy didn't notice it because she didn't want her to think she was a bitch who didn't care about her brother's happiness. Buffy didn't notice any bitterness, but she did notice the lack of flirting and wondered if Faith did it just because being in jail made her more nervous than she wanted to admit and it was a way of fooling people and making them think she was as cool as a cucumber.
"You're not gonna go back to that Kenny guy, are you?"-Buffy surprised herself and Faith when she asked that question. Faith wondered if she just imagined it or if Buffy's voice sounded a bit too nervous when she spoke, and when she looked more closely at the gorgeous blonde in front of her, she realized Buffy's eyes were wandering all around, but not looking her in the eyes.
"No, but even if I did, why do you care?"-Faith said, hoping Buffy wouldn't think it was a too harsh thing to say, but she really wanted to know why Buffy asked her that and really wished she could read the blonde's mind.
"I don't want something bad to happen to you... You're way too pretty to go to jail."-Buffy said without thinking and blushed a little when she realized she called Faith pretty.
At that moment, Faith cute dimples showed up on her face and she just couldn't pass up the opportunity to flirt and make Buffy blush because that little cutie looked even cuter (if that was even possible) when she was all flushed and embarrassed.
"Are you flirting with me, blondie? Thought you 'weren't playing for my team'..."
"I... I... uh, it was not flirting, I just... think you're pretty."-Buffy called Faith pretty again, even though she wanted to say "wanted to say I was glad you were out of jail." Looks like my mouth and brain aren't exactly connected today...-Buffy thought and Faith smiled again, thinking the blonde knew how to make it very easy to tease.
"Oh ok, if you say so... Cause if that had been flirting I would have told you you were very pretty too and was hoping I'd see you again. I know you're disappointed Angel is not here now, but I'm actually glad he isn't cause at least we can have coffee alone. Are you, like, in love with him?"
Buffy didn't like where the conversation started going and really didn't know how to answer the question. She wished it was so simple, that she could just say: 'Yes I'm completely in love with him and would never ever do anything with you.' But her feelings were anything but simple. She decided to use a potato analogy once again, to see if Faith would understand it.
While Buffy was explaining and blushing more and more, Faith was pretty entertained, she thought she never heard anyone explain their feelings with a help of a potato and it was pretty fucking adorable. Still, she wasn't sure Buffy meant her when she mentioned the first potato, and just to make sure she didn't missunderstand anything, Faith asked: "So, if the first potato tried to kiss you, would you return the kiss? Am I the first potato? I don't wanna embarrass myself with the wrong assumption."
"Yes, you're the first potato..."-Buffy admitted and looked at her hands and then back at Faith, who was smiling widely. Buffy's palms were all damp and her heart was going absolutely insane when Faith pulled her chair closer to Buffy's and looked deep into her eyes. "Faith... I... I've never kissed a girl before... Never even thought of doing it and this is freaking me out... And I don't wanna hurt Angel, or you for that matter..."
"I know you don't... But a kiss would make you see what you really feel, and it could make things simpler for you. I know you want that kiss, Buffy, it's written all over your face. You're not too good at hiding your feelings..."-Faith said, almost whispering, as she started moving closer and closer to Buffy's lips. Buffy's breath got stuck in her throat and she didn't seem to be able to get it out. She really wanted that kiss, but in the same time she was terrified. Her head was buzzing and lips were almost hurting with desire, so she opened her mouth a little, swallowed hard and gasped a little when Faith's lips touched her own. It felt like she got electrocuted, she never felt anything like it before. She slowly moved her lips along with Faith's, which started getting a bit faster she seeked permission to roll her tongue along with Buffy's. Buffy returned the kiss, still feeling like her heart would explode, if anyone had asked her what her name was at that moment she wouldn't have known. The kiss was absolutely perfect and she didn't want it to end. Faith pulled Buffy's hand and sat her on her lap to be able to touch her all over her gorgeous little body. The blonde thought it was so weird kissing Faith didn't feel weird at all. It felt amazing and she placed her arms around Faith's neck and let Faith roam her hands over her breasts and ass...
Faith thought pretty much the same thing, she realized she wanted more, much more with that little blonde cop and she wanted it right there and then and when Buffy pulled away and stammered: "Faith, I... I think I should go... I really...uh, Faith, I just... The first potato is even yummier than I thought and I need to think..."
"Just think fast, B, I don't think I'll be able to wait much longer for another kiss..."-Faith said in a very husky voice that made Buffy feel tingles all over.
Buffy nodded, smiled a little even though she felt like her face and all of her body was kind of frozen and burning at the same time and she said: "Take care of the bunny..." and left.
Faith lit a cigarette as soon as Buffy walked out of the door, she needed to calm down because she could still taste Buffy's lips and it was driving her insane. Fuck Angel and his feelings, I'm still the first potato, and it'll stay that way...-Faith thought and giggled when she said it and then she looked at the bunny and said: "What's up you little buddy, you probably think I'm insane, right? Get used to it, I think I'll get even more insane if I don't get those lips soon enough..."
The bunny just looked at Faith with those little red eyes for a few moments and then he started biting a carrot Buffy had given him... "Like you give a damn anyway, you little rude bastard... Well, little buddy, I think I owe you so I'm going to the shop to buy a dozen of carrots and bunny food just for you."
