Previously: "Faith thank you for this wonderful day. You've really outdone yourself," Buffy said with a smile, kissing Faith softly on the lips.

"You're worth it all B, no big," said Faith, smiling softly.

"So are you ready to go to your next and last surprise?" Faith asked with a smile.

"There's more? Wow… yeah I guess I'm ready to leave," said Buffy.

Faith got up from her seat and walked over to Buffy, pulling her seat out and helping her up. Faith paid the bill and they walked out hand in hand to her car where Faith again opened Buffy's door for her. When Buffy got in Faith walked to the other side of the car and got in herself. She started up the car and they drove off to their next destination…

As Faith drove she kept stealing glances at Buffy, admiring her beauty. She smiled to herself, thinking she was the luckiest woman in the world to have such a wonderful person sitting next to her. Faith drove for about five more minutes before making a turn onto a dirt road and kept driving. She stopped the car and turned to look at Buffy.

"Wow Faith, this is so gorgeous," Buffy said, looking out and seeing the whole city, the lights glimmering in the night. It was a stunning sight.

"You like?" asked Faith, looking intently at Buffy.

"Yeah… it's absolutely beautiful, how did you find this place?" Buffy asked.

"Well, um, I was driving one day and I saw this dirt road, I decided to see what was beyond it and found this place. I always come here just to think and relax," Faith said with a small smile.

They looked at the sight before them for what seemed like an eternity until Buffy said, "Faith, you have more than outdone yourself, this place is so beautiful. I just wanted to thank you," Buffy said, as she leaned in and kissed Faith softly on the lips.

When the kiss broke Faith said, "No need for thanks B, it was my pleasure." Faith leaned in slowly and gave Buffy a passionate kiss, both of their tongues dueling. Faith gently cupped her neck, slowly moving her hand upwards burying it in Buffy's hair, pulling her closer. The kiss got more heated until Faith moved her hand to Buffy's breast. Buffy moved her away, breaking the kiss and saying:

"Faith, I don't want this to be a one night stand okay, so can we take it slow?" Buffy asked.

"Yeah, sure… I'm sorry if I was pushing too hard B. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable," Faith said softly.

"It's ok Faith, you didn't make me uncomfortable. I was just trying to say that I'm not that easy," Buffy said.

"Don't I know it," Faith murmured underneath her breath.

"Excuse me?" Buffy said, with a raised eyebrow.

"I didn't mean it like that, I was just saying I know you're not easy and that's a good thing… I so didn't mean it to come out like that," Faith babbled.

Buffy started to giggle. "I was just playing with you Faith, I know what you meant."

"Oh okay… I just didn't want to make you think I was only with you to get in your pants… I want more than that," Faith said softly.

"You didn't make me think that Faith. I was just playing around," Buffy said, giving Faith a soft kiss on the lips.

"Okay," Faith mumbled between kisses.

They spent hours kissing, but it was getting late so they broke apart and Faith asked, "So you want to go home? Wait, I didn't mean it like that, I meant do you want me to drive you home?" Faith stuttered out.

Buffy giggled again. "Yes, I'm getting tired so… that would be a good idea."

"Okay, " Faith said, turning the engine on after giving Buffy one final kiss on the lips.

Faith started driving to Buffy's house with one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting by her side. As she was driving she felt something grab her hand and when she looked down it was Buffy taking her hand and holding it. Faith looked at Buffy and smiled lovingly at her, squeezing her hand softly.

The drive to Buffy's house was filled with loving glances and soft touches. Forty minutes later they arrived at Buffy's house and Faith got out of the car and went around to open Buffy's door. She helped Buffy out of the car and closed the door. They walked hand in hand to Buffy's front porch. Both of them were suddenly nervous, neither knowing where they would go from there.

"So…" Faith said.

"Yes…" Buffy said.

"Umm… I guess this is goodnight," Faith said and softly leaned in to give Buffy a light, lingering kiss. When they broke apart they looked deeply into each other's eyes.

Out of nowhere, Buffy asked….
