Chapter 21 Sympathy
"Mum, we can stop with the embarrassing stories, anytime. " Spike said slightly annoyed.
Spike was actually enjoying the fact that his mother and his 'could-be-girlfriend' were getting along. They went from talking about clothes, to places they have been, to hair styles, and the somehow the conversation became about him. He couldn't personally understand why him putting on his mothers clothes as a young lad is cute and funny.
"Aw, I wish there were pictures. " Buffy said still giggling.
"Oh, sorry. I burned them. To ashes." Spike said before his mother pulled them out. " Bloody hell." He mumbled.
" Spike, no need to be embarrassed." Buffy smiled.
Annie watched the playfulness between the young teens and the way they looked at each other. She could tell there was some kind of connection there. If her son was going to be with this young woman. She will definitely approved.
After they look through some family pictures with there guest laughing and commenting on certain pictures. The sat down and were eating dinner. It was going great. Spike sees that his mom has taken a big interest in Buffy.
"Buffy, what do your parents do for a living?" Annie asked sipping on her tea in front of her.
" Well, my dad is a business man. He travels. A lot. My mother owns upscale Galleries in California and New York. She also travels. She always says ' Can't get the best deals if your not there'" Buffy smiled sadly, looking down and playing with her food.
Spike watched his mom look at Buffy with sympathy in her eyes and he was kind of feeling sorry for her too. He turned and saw something shift in Buffy.
" That's nice, dear." Annie said smiling.
Buffy looked up from looking at her food and saw Spike and his mother expressions.
"You know what, I've got to go. I have a party to plan" Buffy said getting up quickly, "It's nice to meet you, Ms. Annie. "
Buffy showed herself out before Spike would try and catch her. Once she was outside she felt as if she could breathe again. When she was in that house she felt as if she was suffocating. It was to much she needed to relax. She needed to b relaxed. She hopped into her car without hesitation and drove straight to her house.
When she walked through the door, she was greeted Faith getting high on her parents expensive glass table in the living room. When Faith finished sniffing a line she looked up sniffing and wiping he nose she noticed Buffy looking upset and tense.
"Come here. I know what you need, B. How about a li-"
Faith didn't get to finish her sentence because The blonde was already beside her. Buffy took the rolled up Benjamin from Faith and snorted a line. She paused and did another one.
"What do you wanna do, huh?" Faith said running her hand through Buffy's blonde locks then pulls her in and kisses her. "Hmm, that's my girl." Faith took the rolled up bill.
Buffy's body quickly became untense and the thought of the sympathy faces she got from Spike and his mother faded away. She hated that her life couldn't be the way she wished since she was little. People were always leaving, the only consistent one was Faith, only one she wish would leave.
Faith turned to her high cousin, "Give us a kiss. "
Faith crashed her lip to Buffy's kissing her her hungrily, which the blonde returned blandly.
