She ran in the house like a hurricane and didn't even notice Willow and Tara who were cuddled up on the couch, watching cartoons.
"Hey, Buff, I see you delivered the bunny. Did Angel like it?"-Willow asked.
Buffy stopped, realizing she almost marched to her bedroom without greeting her best friends and she said: "Oh, he, guys... Umm, Angel wasn't there... Faith liked the bunny, though."
Tara noticed the bewildered look in Buffy's eyes and asked: "Does Faith like potatoes?"
Willow thought it was the most random question ever and wondered why Tara wanted to know that information. When a smile lit up Buffy's face and she said: "Yes she does! Can you believe it?" and she happily hopped in the kitchen to grab a non-fat yogurt and some cereals, Willow got even more curious. Tara and Willow kissed gently and Buffy wondered if she'd ever have something so great with Faith. Once more she thought of the kiss and shivered all over...
"What's up with the liking potatoes thing?"-Willow asked Tara and got even more confused when her girlfriend answered. "Oh, Buffy just figured she liked one sort of potatoes more than the other. Looks like Faith does too, but you should ask Buffy about it."
"Ok then..."-said Willow and couldn't wait for to hear a reasonable explanation because her friend was way too excited about Faith liking potatoes. A huge question mark was hanging above her head and she decided to go to the kitchen to talk to Buffy.
After buying bunny food for her new pet, Faith took the little creature out of the cage and cuddled him. She decided to name him Mr. Gordo, after a stuffed bunny she had when she was a kid.
That little blonde just wasn't getting out of her head and she had no idea what to do. She didn't even have her number and she couldn't text her, but then she remembered Angel had a little red notebook with all his contacts in his room and she went to look for it. She started going through his drawers, but couldn't find it and she cursed quietly and jumped a little when Angel appeared out of nowhere and asked: "Why are you going through my stuff?!"
"Oh, hey, Big A... Well, Buffy brought us a gift in a form of a little bunny and I wanted to let her know that I got food for the little bugger, but don't have her phone number and thought I could find it in your little red book. I can't find it anywhere, though! Did you see Mr. Gordo? He's asleep now..."
Angel was disappointed that Buff visited when he wasn't home, and he asked: "Did she say anything about me? I wish you'd let me know when she arrived, I would have come back..."
I know you would have, that's why I didn't do it. Besides, I was too busy kissing her...-Faith thought and fought herself badly because she really wanted to tell Angel to back off from HER girl.
Instead she said: "She didn't stay long. So, will you give me her number? I'm sure you know it by heart."
Angel, who in his wildest dreams wouldn't have thought that his sister and the girl he was in love with made out less than an hour ago, recited Buffy's number and Faith did her best not to grin while she was writing: "Hey, B. Angel just gave me our number, and... Do you wanna go for a drink later? What do you think about the Bronze at 8 pm? Bronze was a cool club Faith often visited because there were often good concerts she liked to attend, and she tried to remember if she ever saw Buffy there, but she didn't think so... She was sure she would have remembered that little sexy thing.
Buffy had explained Willow about Angel and Faith, and everything that happened and Willow was really surprised, but also happy because she couldn't remember the last time Buffy looked so happy and hyper. She was very curious about that Faith chick that turned her best friend towards women. Buffy denied being gay, though, she didn't want any tags, but she couldn't deny that just a kiss from Faith did more for her than those few sexual encounters she'd had with MEN she didn't really love. And she didn't want to do it again, to sleep with someone she didn't really love because it made her feel dirty afterwards...
She remembered her ex fuck buddy William, whose nickname was Spike and she wanted to throw up when she remembered what she let him do to her. Back then she was going through some hard times, and Spike was sooo persistent trying to get her to bed, and eventually, because of alcohol mostly, she gave in and had the most degrading sex with him. After that, she couldn't get rid of him because he was stubborn, and she was still going through the self-hating phase because she didn't get to Willow in time to stop Warren from hurting her, so letting him hurt her and force her to do stuff made her feel better because she thought she deserved to be punished. Their weird relationship went on for some time and when she finally broke it off, Spike didn't want to accept it. He started being addicted to her and if it had been up to him he would have kept her as a sex slave in his apartment... When she told him she didn't want to do it anymore, he lost it and almost raped her. She shuddered when she remembered how he held her tightly against the wall and ripped off her shirt. She tried to fight him, but he was too strong and she screamed her lungs out when he put his hand under her skirt. Xander had just arrived and when he heard a scream his heart almost stopped and he ran straight to the house. Xander didn't think he could ever get so angry, but when he saw Buffy all cried up and Spike forcing himself on her, he felt like his blood started boiling and he pulled Spike away, punched him as hard as he could. Spike teased: "Oh here comes Buffy's faithful knight... Sod off, we need some privacy." and Xander beat him up so badly the bleached dickhead couldn't get up. Buffy ran into Xander's arms and called the police, who dragged Spike away. Unfortunately he was released the next day, but he was smart enough not to bother Buffy anymore.
Buffy shooshed the unpleasant thoughts away and checked her phone when it beeped. "Faith texted me!"-she chirpped and both Tara and Willow smiled when their friend grinned widely. "She wants to meet up in the Bronze later! Do you wanna go with me, to be my... wing-women? We could have a sort of a double date... Well not exactly a date cause I'm not DATING Faith, but...What do you think?"
"Sure, why not? Haven't been there in ages and I'm VERY curious about this Faith girl you're drooling over."-Willow teased a little and smiled when Buffy blushed. It was so cute and she kept her fingers crossed for Buffy and Faith, instantly forgetting about Angel and his feelings for Buffy.
Buffy texted back: "Hey, Faith... I'd love to have a drink later... Willow and Tara, my best friends, are coming with me if you don't mind. They're a couple and very curious about you."
Faith would have preferred to have Buffy all to herself, but she didn't want to be rude and she replied: "Deal. It's a double date then...", wondering if Buffy would reply to that.
"It's a date."-Buffy wrote back, and she said it out loud, which cause Willow and Tara to giggle. Faith whispered: "Yes!" when Buffy replied and grinned happily, barely able to keep calm and still. She wanted to fast forward the day because she could hardly wait to see the blonde girl again. She hoped Buffy felt the same, and to make her feel as worked up as she herself was she wrote: "I'm gonna get the kiss you owe me, blondie, no matter how many friends you take along... And I know you're dying for it, too... See ya later, B."
Oh, 'worked up' wasn't an expression strong enough to describe what Buffy was going through. She also wished she could fast forward the day because the kiss Faith said she owed her was the only thing she could think about.
