Faith didn't want to assume the worst but why wasn't Buffy there to wake up to. They had shared one of the most amazing nights together and Buffy had finally made her choice. Had she changed her mind? Had she gone back to him? Had last night all been a lie? Would Buffy really do that to Faith?

Faith threw the covers off the bed and began to dress herself. She went to the fridge and took out a beer, she lit a cigarette and walked over to the window with her own thoughts. She could still smell the scent of vanilla and coconut from Buffy. She was craving for her. Her touch. Her kisses. Would Buffy return though?

As soon as Buffy walked into her house she was met with Angel. He was sat on the stairs.

"Angel? What are you...um who let you in?" Buffy tried to avoid eye contact with him.

"Er Willow, where have you been? Willow said you didn't come home last night? You were with...her?" Angel stood up and walked over to the blonde slayer.

"Her? You mean Faith? Um...well we were patrolling, there was an accident and we had to go to hospital and then well it was late..so I stayed at the motel with Faith" Buffy swallowed hard as she noticed Angel's glare. He knew.

"With Faith? You and her...Buffy I can smell her all over you, so you finally made your choice then?" As Angel spoke he looked so hurt.

"Angel, can we not do this now? I'm tired and I need to take a shower" Buffy pushed past him and made her way upstairs but he grabbed her hand.

"Buffy, just tell me the truth! You made your choice? You chose Faith didn't you?"

Buffy could feel tears building up. "I...yes. I chose Faith. Angel I'm sorry..."

"Sorry?" Angel scoffed. "You cant trust her Buffy, she's unstable, she's dangerous..."

Buffy pulled away from Angel and made her way upstairs. "Get out! You think you can just come around here and tell me who I can and cant be with? Faith makes me feel something I have never felt before and nothing you say will stop my love for her"

Angel looked down and nodded. "You love her? I knew it."

"Angel...just go!"

Buffy made her way upstairs and slammed the bathroom door. She ran the shower and leant against the door. She thought back to the night before and smiled to herself. Never in her life had she felt passion like that,but it had all been too much when she had woke up next to Faith. She couldn't handle it. She knew she loved Faith but she couldn't imagine a relationship with her.

Hours later and there was knock at the door. Buffy was about to leave the house to patrol. As she opened the door her heart skipped a beat as Faith stood there.

"Hey" Faith smiled.

"Faith...hey I was just about to..."

Faith grabbed her hand and pulled her outside. She pulled her into an embrace and kissed her.

"Patrol? Faith pulled away from the kiss and finished off Buffy's sentence.

"Yeah, patrol" Buffy walked in front of Faith.

"Where did you um..go this morning? You didn't regret it? I mean you haven't changed your mind?" Faith rambled.

"No...no I just...when I woke and saw you lying next to me...I guess I just freaked out, Im sorry." Buffy looked down at the floor as she spoke.

"So what you saying? I freaked you out?" Faith looked confused.

"No..I just...I mean...it was nice...it was to be honest the best night of my life but Faith I don't see us..you know having a relationship do you?"

"Buffy, when I look at you, when I,m with you all I picture is...our future. I want a relationship with you. I want all of you B, I'm not one for relationships, it's always been get some get gone but with you Buffy...I want it all. I want you be to be my girl."

Buffy stopped walking and turned to Faith. "Faith...I don't know what to say"

Faith shrugged. "Its ok, you don't have to say anything. I understand if you don't want the same, all I ask is that you think about it"

Buffy remained quiet as both slayers walked over to the nearby graveyard.

"It was really the best night of your life?" Faith asked.

Buffy blushed and looked down at the floor smiling slightly.

"I'll take that as a maybe" Faith flashed her a wicked smile.

"Faith, this, us. It's just gonna take me some time to get used to, I love you and last night was amazing...I have never felt so..."

Faith pulled her in and kissed her. "Never felt so what B?"

"Loved" Buffy replied.

Faith smiled but her smile faded as she saw a dark figure approaching them. Angel.

"What do you want soul boy? Me and B were having a moment!" Faith spat.

Buffy looked at Angel, he didn't seem himself. "Angel? What is it?" Buffy said concerned.

"Buffy we need to talk" Angel said.

"Whatever you have to say, you can say it here" Buffy replied.

"Buffy...fine. I...um...I'm leaving...there is nothing for me here anymore"

"Leaving? Where...um where you going?" Buffy swallowed back tears.

"Does it matter?" Angel replied. "I cant be here anymore and see you throw your life away with her..."

"When? Um when will you be leaving?" Buffy said ignoring his last comment.

"Tonight" Angel replied.

Buffy felt sick as she heard the words. Faith put her hand on her shoulder to comfort her but Buffy pulled away.

Faith narrowed her eyes at Angel. "What exactly is your problem? Is it me? You think I stole your girl from you?"

"Well technically you did" Angel replied.

"Stop it both of you!" Buffy shouted. She turned to Angel. "Angel, I...I am so sorry but I chose Faith, I love Faith"

Angel put his hand up to Buffy. "Yeah, I got that but like I said she's unstable, sooner or later she will turn on you and when she does...you will wish you had listened to me" With that Angel disappeared into the shadows.

Buffy wiped tears from her face and buried her head into Faith's chest and sobbed. Faith stroked her hair and held her. She looked over at were Angel had been standing and frowned. Did Buffy really believe she was unstable? Is that why she wanted to take things slow? Faith thought back to the dream her and Buffy has been having, was there a second meaning to them?
