A Gangsta's A Gangsta

*A Girl's Best friend *

There was Faye standing in the doorway wearing an incredible dress I'd ever seen. It was black as midnight and looked almost like diamonds had been sown in to the silky fabric that hugged her curves perfectly. It hand no sleeves and the neck was very low. The dress reminded me of the dark night three years ago, the night sky so perfect the stars looked of diamonds and so did the snow slowly making it's decent. I looked up at her beautiful face; her hair was swept up in a loose bun. Her eyes shone like two emeralds. They sparkled with joy as she stepped towards me. A thin line of eyeliner beautifully accented them and a gorgeous light green was above the black eyeliner making her eyes shimmer. I snapped out of some sort of trance her presents had cast upon me. I held out my arm and she entwined hers with mine. Her white silk arm length gloves looked perfect against the black fabric of my tuxedo. Her high heels clicked as they hit the tile floor outside my apartment. She waved goodbye to lil Spike who was being held by Zao. "Ok we'll be home by 9:00. Zao, lil Spike should be in bed by 8:30 this time." Faye told him with a serious face as lil Spike giggled knowing what his mother meant. Zao closed the door, but before he did he shook my hand and slipped me something. It felt like a credit card and sure enough it was. I looked at him stunned as Faye blew a kiss to lil Spike. I looked at her in mock sadness. "Does daddy want a kiss too?" she asked smiling. I grinned, "Yes!" She turned her head away from me quickly as a beautiful trickle of jasmine sent hit my senses. "Too bad."

We walked to the car as I tried and tried to get a kiss from her. By the time we had reached my Mustang I had given up. "Fine." I opened the door for her as she somehow gracefully got in the car wearing that dress and those heels. 'Must take practice.' I thought as I closed the door and walked to the driver's side and got in. I put the keys in the ignition and turned it to the right. The engine roared as I backed out of the parking space. I drove down the dark yet crowded streets of Mars. I didn't look at Faye the entire time because I still wanted that kiss. I pulled up to a streetlight and waited for it to change from red to green. I watched the light waiting for it to change; I wasn't going to look at Faye. 'No I'm not gonna give in. She wants me to look at her. Oh no she's not gonna make me.' I though determined as I felt Faye's eyes burning a hole in the side of my face. All the sudden I felt the soft touch of Faye's lips against my cheek as she kissed me. She backed away. "You win."

*Fancy Restaurant*

I pulled up to the brightly lighted restaurant and took the keys out of the ignition and got out. I walked to the other side and opened the door for Faye as tons of camera bulbs flashed. You see I had picked one of the hottest and most expensive places on Mars, Bella Jessica. The only reason I could pay for it was because of Zao. 'God bless that old man.' I thought as Faye clutched my arm in panic. I felt her breath a few deep breaths and she straitened up. I gave my keys to the valet and we walked down the quiet literal red carpet. As we walked up to the doors cameras flashed wildly as Faye and I smiled. When two men opened the doors, intense music blasted out of the large starlit-dancing hall. A young woman came up to us, "Mr. Spiegel and Miss. Valentine?" she asked, we nodded. I cocked an eyebrow but then I thought about Zao and I smiled. 'Crafty old man.' She moved her arm motioning for us to follow her. We walked down a short hall that looked out on to the large dance floor. She showed us our table and lit the candle that was in the center of it. There was soft romantic music playing in the background and a few couples were dancing on the large dance floor. I pulled Faye's seat out for her as she thanked me. I walked to the other side and sat down. "What would you like?" I asked as she opened her menu and started to look. "I think I'll get the swordfish." (hehehe ya get it!) I looked up at her, she looked gorgeous in the candle light, its soft glow enhancing her feminine features. A woman wearing a vest and black pants came up to our table and asked what champagne we wanted to order. I told her what we wanted but as Faye was looking at the couples dancing I slipped the waitress the ring and told her to put it in a truffle for dessert. She smiled and nodded. We had a wonderful dinner and after having the swordfish Faye wanted to dance..

"But I ordered us some truffles." I told her as a delighted look spread across her face. "Really?" She asked surprised. I smiled and nodded. "Oh well then I guess we can dance after dessert." She smiled as the waitress came up to the table and took the dirty plates away and left a new one that had several truffles on it. She whispered in my ear and told me which one had the ring in it and then left the bill. I picked up the one the waitress had specified. "Here." I gave it to Faye. She took it and bit it in half. She stopped when her teeth hit something solid. She blinked and took the truffle out of her mouth. I watched as she revealed the diamond engagement ring. She gasped as I took it from her. I classically got down on one knee and took her hand in mine. She was looking at me stunned. "Spike!" She whispered as I looked up into her eyes. "Faye we've been through so much together and I always want us to be together. I want to grow old with you and raise our son together. Faye will you marry me?" (ok not to romantic but remember this may be an au but I can't change his character THAT much) She took the ring from my fingers and looked at my face. She looked like she was about to cry. "Oh Spike! I already said yes but of course I'll marry you!" She cried coming down to my level hugging me almost knocking me off my knees. My eyes widened as she kissed my cheek and hugged me closer. She backed away as I took the ring from her again and slipped it on her slender finger. She looked at it really for the first time. "Damn! That's one big diamond!" She said moving her hand around letting the light reflect off of it. She smiled after gazing at it and looked up at me. "Now how about that dance?" she asked raising an eyebrow. I grinned and stood up bringing her with me. "Let's dance ma fiancé." I bowed at the waist and held my arm out to show her the way to the dance floor.

My hands were snuggly wrapped around Faye's waist and her arms were wrapped around my neck. There was a sad jazzy song playing as Faye and I danced in small circles. Her incredible jasmine sent was filling my every sense as I dipped her and then pulled her back up. She smiled and shook her head slightly moving some of her loose hairs out of her face. All the sudden a loud booming voice came from some large sub woofers that flanked the stage where the band was playing. "Mars are you ready for the new years count down?!?" The voice yelled as Faye and I turned to look at the large stage. Faye's face suddenly turned panicked. "Spike! I told Zao we'd be home by 9:00!" I looked at her with a slightly concerned face. "Don't worry he won't leave lil Spike in the apartment by himself. He probably doesn't even know what the time is. We'll leave after the count down okay?" I asked looking in her eyes. She smiled. "You're right. Okay we'll stay till after the count down." We turned back to the person standing on the stage.

"10!" Faye took my hand. "9." I wrapped my arm around her as she squeezed my hand. "8" We looked around at the other happy couples. "7" I smiled as Faye leaned her head on my shoulder and sighed in content as we continued to count down. "6, 5, 4" We looked up at the ceiling and realized that there was a huge plastic tarp above us holding confetti and balloons. "3, 2" Faye striated up and we both cried "1!" All the sudden the tarp was released and tons and tons of confetti and balloons were dumped on us. "Happy New Year! 2072!" Faye shrieked in excitement as confetti fell down her dress and covered her hair. I felt several balloons bounce off my fluffy hair making it stand up. Faye started to laugh as she pointed at my hair. I looked at her and pulled out a few pieces of confetti from her hair to show I wasn't the only one who looked like an idiot. She smiled and quickly wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me on the lips passionately. She moved back and smiled leading me out of the restaurant pulling my jacket softly.

We pulled into the parking lot and walked to my apartment. I unlocked the door and found Zao asleep on the couch with lil Spike lying on his stomach on the other end of the couch. There were two half melted bowls of ice cream on the coffee table with spoons in them. There also were noisemakers and party hats on the floor and table. Faye looked at them asleep and smiled. "I guess I'll wake them up and take Zao home and you can put lil Spike ta bed." I said walking towards the couch but Faye stopped me, "I'll put Spike ta bed." She said winking and untying my bow tie slowly. I looked at her and blinked a few times. "Are ya sure?" I whispered. "Happy new years Mr. Spiegel." She whispered pulling me into my bedroom and pushing me against the back of the door kissing me eagerly as I felt my hands move to caress her soft face. She smiled in the kiss as she backed away pulling me towards my bed. I could feel my brain beginning to cloud but I wasn't sure if it was passion or sleep. Faye laid down on the mattress and pulled me on her kissing down my neck as my brain became more clouded. She started to un do my shirt as I looked around the room and things became black and blurred. 'Shit I'm drunk.'....
