Chapter 2: Couple's Suite
Faye impatiently glanced at the clock again. She had been sitting in her bedroom for two hours now, hiding from Spike. But what the hell for? It was just an argument right?
She collapsed onto her bed and pulled herself into a ball, gathering all her thoughts. Why was it such a big deal to face Spike? They always had bitter arguments like that, and they would always just go on living like nothing had ever happened between them...
But this time....
It seemed different for Faye. The look in his chocolate two-toned orbs kept playing over and over in her mind. What was that look he was giving her?
For a second it almost seemed like......
No, no, it couldn't possibly be concern, not from Spike. It was likely guilt if it had anything to do with her....
Wait a second? Why the hell is she thinking about Spike again?
' What is this emotion I'm feeling, I can't quite put my finger on it....'
" FAYE- FAYEEEEE!!" Ed's screechy voice bellowed through Faye's room, startling her slightly.
" What is it ED?!" Faye often got aggravated by Ed's eccentric behavior...
" Jet- person says it's time to eaty- eat!!"
" Eaty- eat?" Faye chuckled lightly at the way the abnormal orange- haired girl spoke, " Sure, okay..... Thank you Ed."
Shakily standing up, Faye streched her limber body, loosening every tense muscle she had. She wearily rubbed her tired eyes, adjusting them to the bright light that had poured in her room from the hallway. She shook her head, and pushed a stray hair out of her face.
" Ugh..." Faye moaned slightly at the bright light and cursed under her breath about how dark her room seemed.
She slowly pushed her way out her bedroom and shut the door behind her solemnly. As she made her way down the hallway, a distinct smell caused her to wrinkle her nose and squint her eyes slightly.
' Greeaat, now it's time for some of Jet's wonderful cooking'
She chuckled softly at her thoughts. As she made her way into the sitting room, a certain poofy-haired bounty hunter caught her eye and she blushed slightly at the sight of him.
" Hey, it looks like Sleeping Beauty has awakened..." Spike joked, chuckling lightly.
" Oh... yeah... well... sleeping... I wasn't..." Once again, all of her words were scattering away from her, and even a simple sentence was hard to recite.
" You've been in there for like two hours..."
" Oh, I was just... um... resting..." Faye mumbled, turning her face away to hide her blushing face.
" Whatever you say..." Spike said, rolling his eyes as he turned back towards his food again.
Faye shook her head, trying to get her thoughts of Spike out of her system. She shivered lightly as she made her way into the kitchen. She eyed the dinner Jet had set out for her, and she cringed at the thought of eating it.
Its not like she's hungry anyways....
" Are you gonna eat it or just stare at it all day?" Spike's voice was clear, yet still dripping with sarcasm... as always...
" Oh... me? Yeah... I'm not really hungry..." Faye muttered, wrapping her arms around herself to intake as much heat she possibly could.
Boy was the Bebop always cold...
" Oh... so that's how you achieved a figure like that?" Spike teased poking her in the side.
Faye didn't say anything, she just blushed and bit her lip nervously.
Spike eyed her, confusion etched all over his features. He looked her up and down, noticing the nervous form her body had transformed into.
" Is there something wrong with you?" His words came out alot more harsh than he had intended them to.
" Oh, n-not really, I-I fine..." Faye shuffled over to the cabinent and pulled out a glass. Quickly filling it with ice water, she turned her body towards Spike again. " Just thirsty... I think."
" Okay...." Spike said, turning towards the sitting room.
Faye let out a sigh of relief as Spike left the room. What is it about him that makes her so nervous? It was never like that before.... Usually she would send him some vain comment, but this time it was different.
Ever since the Julia argument....
" Faye, get in here! We've got a bounty for you!" She could hear Jet's voice bellowing from the sitting room.
" For me?" Faye said mostly to herself, but everyone happened to hear her as she slowly dragged her tired body into the sitting room.
" This one goes for beautiful women with attitude..." Jet began to tell her about the pointless loser with a very large bounty on his head.
" Well, only half of that is Faye..." Spike joked, chuckling to himself. He awaited a loud and abrasive comment from the vixen herself, but to his suprise she said nothing, she ignored him and continued to study the screen before her.
" How much is he worth?" Faye asked curiously, inching towards the screen.
" Five-billon woolongs, honey..." Spike answered before Jet could comment.
" I'll do it...." Faye said flatly, pushing a violet hair out of her face.
" Wait a second, you're not going alone, Spike IS coming you know..." Jet gritted his teeth, awaiting a heated argument from the stubborn violet- haired woman.
" Allright, what do we have to do?"
Jet and Spike glanced at each other, dumbfouned " Wait a second.... No arguments from Faye?" Spike said, inching towards Faye and looking her directly in the eye. Her bright green orbs flashed with emotions and she shut them tightly, hiding every trace she could from the green-haired man.
" Jet, what's the deal with this bounty, I mean, what's the catch?" Faye continued to ignore Spike and he flashed her a confused look.
" Well, he owns a grand resort, and there's a party tonight, so I figured you could make your move tonight," Jet explained, handing her a print-out of the Resort.
" Oh, I see... It's The Palms hotel, I worked there at the casino a few years back..." Faye explained shoving the print-out in her pocket, " They must have a new owner.."
[ Lol, I know The Palms hotel is the one in Las Vegas, but it was the only name I could think of, so.....]
" So you know you're way through the hotel?" Spike asked, curiously scratching his head.
" Yeah, bits and pieces..."
" Ed has already tapped in and made a reservation for you two, so you'd beter get going..." Jet explained.
" We're staying the night there?" Spike asked, cocking his head to the side.
" Yeah, I figured it'd be easier that way... and I also figured you should only take Faye's zip-craft...." Jet trailed off, expecting some type of comment from Faye, but to his suprise, there was a loud sigh from Spike instead.
" That thing only fits one person, you know?" Spike commented.
" It's okay, I'm sure we can figure something out, right?" Faye smiled and handed Spike the keys, " You can drive if you want..."
Faye blushed as Spike's hand brushed against hers. He grasped the keys and gave her a funny look.
" Are you sure nothing's wrong, I mean, you're being so..... nice..." Spike narrowed his eyes at her, and scratched the back of his poofy-head.
" Yeah, I'm fine..." Faye answered finally as she made her way towards her bedroom to change into formal clothing.
" Just leave her alone Spike, I'm sure it's just some type of girl thing..." Jet commented, noticing the concerned look on Spike's face.
" What do you mean? I didn't say anything!" Spike hissed, storming off towards his bedroom.
Man that guy can be such a pain....
~*~
" All right Faye, please get off of me now, we're finally here..." Spike said, pulling the Redtail into a parking spot.
After many futile attempts to fit two people into the Redtail, they had finally settled on Faye sitting on Spike's lap. And to Spike's suprise, he had been antzy the whole time.
But who wouldn't? A beautiful woman nestled peacefully in your lap wearing the most sexy black dress you've ever seen.
Faye seemed even more antzy than Spike, though. She insisted on wiggling around nervously and twidling her thumbs the whole time, a crimson shade staining her cheeks. Thankfully, Spike hadn't noticed her nervousness, he was too caught up in his...
Faye nervously wiggled her thin frame out of the Redtail and dusted her dress off.
" Don't worry, you'll knock 'em dead..." Spike commented, winking at her slightly.
Faye blushed at his words and turned to help him with the luggage. God was her edginess around him getting to her, it was actually starting to aggaravate her a bit.
Spike dragged the luggage into the large resort, eyeing every inch of the sinful resort, making sure to take in every guilty action of the workers there.
" We have a reservation for Spiegal," Faye's gentle voice broke his concentraion, and he noticed they were already in the lobby checking in.
" Mr. and Mrs. Spiegal? Yes, I have you down for a couple's suite on the 14th floor... Will you two be joining Mr. Adams party later on tonight?" Spike chuckled at the man, and Faye blushed furiously.
" Um, y-yes sir, w-when does it start?" Faye fought to hide the shade her pale face had become.
" At 8' o clock miss, you have about two hours now..." The man told her, glancing at the clock.
" All right thank you very much!" Faye said, grasping the key tightly and scurrying away towards the elevator. She could hear Spike chuckling behind her as he hauled the luggage into the elevator.
" What's so damn funny?" Faye finally spat out.
" Mrs. Faye Spiegal, it has a nice ring to it..." Spike joked, setting her suitcase down next to her.
" How was I supposed to know Ed registered us as a married couple?" Faye scowled, pressing the button to the fourteenth floor.
" Whoa, calm down, it's not that big of deal..." Spike commented, still laughing lightly about ' the whole married couple idea'.
Faye ignored him and shut her eyes tightly, hiding the happiness she really felt when she heard the man say the were 'married'.
As the elevator doors opened, it caused a slight jolt. Faye opened her eyes slightly and blinked twice trying to refocuse.
" Are you coming or not?" Spike asked impatiently, holding the elevator doors open with his foot.
Faye shook her head slightly and shuffled her way out of the elevator, following close behind Spike.
" Ugh, give me the key woman..." Spike complained, holding his hand out to her.
Faye blinked twice, a bit confused at first. But then she realized the were standing in front of their ' Couple's Suite'. She quickly searched her purse and pulled the key out, setting it in Spike's hand.
" Nice to know you're useful for something...." Spike joked, tugging at the keyhole.
Faye sighed, ignoring his crude comments. She just didn't have time for that anymore....
Spike slowly swung the door open and his mouth dropped at the sight before him. The whole room was lit with candles and there were rose petals scattered across pearl-tiled floors. The furniture was generously plated with gold on the frame and the cushions were wrapped tightly with burgundy silk. The whole room smelled of roses and champagne...
" Wow..." That was all Faye could say, she was too lost in the blissfulness of the room.
She softly stepped in the room, hoping not to break anything in the process. Her eyes widened at every inch of the room. It was so amazing to see something other than the Bebop all day.
" Hey! I get the bed!" Spike's childish voice rang through the silent room as he ran and jumped on top of the silk sheets.
" Wait a second... that's not fair!" The old Faye was finally coming back...
She ran over and tackled Spike, despite the gown she was currently wearing.
" Hey! I called it!!" Spike laughed as he put Faye in a head-lock. Faye giggled loudly as she fought to get out of his grasp.
" It's nice to hear your cute laugh again..." Spike accidently commented out-loud, as he loosened his grip on Faye.
Faye blushed furiously, as she pushed away from Spike.
" You do know you just complimented me..." Faye muttered, shuffling her body nervously.
" I was kidding, everything about you is soo ugly!" Spike paused, and grinned at her, " Is that what you wanted to hear?"
" W-well, no... I mean... yeah, I'd rather you say I'm cute..." Faye turned away from Spike as she jumped off the bed, " Bed's all yours..."
" What? You've given up without a fight?" Spike said sarcastically.
Faye didn't say anything, she just shuffled her way into the bathroom to get ready for the party.
She grimaced as she stared at the troubled reflection in the mirror. ' Why does he make me so nervous?' She rubbed her eyes, and turned her face away from the mirror. She couldn't stand to look at the helpless Faye she had become.
She glanced over at the bath-tub and noticed it was full of steaming water and rose petals, soap bubbles floating around the porcelin form candidly.
' Man, this really is a couple's suite...'
~*~
The music of the party became louder and louder as they approached the ballroom. The sounds of laughter and casual chatting filled their ears.
After an hour and half in the bathroom, Faye finally emerged, fully equiped for the party. Spike's jaw dropped when he saw her. She looked so beautiful with her hair pulled loosely into a bun, a few wisps of her violet hair nipping plafully at her porcelin skin. Her green eyes rimmed with black eyeliner screamed of echantment making any man melt for her.
There's no way she wouldn't get the bounty this time...
" Spike? Is that him?" Faye motioned to the dark-haired man flirting with the blonde woman at the bar.
Spike glanced up and took a good look at the man. Yep, that's him, no one could pass up those deadly amber eyes.
" You're on sweetheart..." Spike grinned at his comment as he nudged Faye towards the bar.
Faye nodded slightly and started making her way towards the man, her hips swaying back and forth sexily. She stepped up to the man and smirked at him slightly as she pushed the blonde away. The blonde scoffed slightly, but remained silent when she saw the competition she was against.
" And who is this beauty that stands before me?" The man grinned sheepishly and took her hand, kissing it lightly.
" It's Faye..." Faye answered, licking her lips seductively.
" I'm Aaron..." He said, his amber eyes flashing with deciet.
Spike turned on his communicator long enough to here their introductions, and he cringed at the huskiness in the man's voice.
Wait a second.... This wasn't jealousy... Was it?
" Now Faye, get to the point, I wan to get my bounty and get out of here..." Spike's voice rang in Faye's ear as she adjusted the device slightly.
" Listen... you want to come up to my room?" Aaron whispered into her ear, kissing her cheek lightly.
Faye nodded and smiled at him sheepishly. ' If you only knew...'.
" Wait Faye, maybe you shouldn't be alone with him..." Spike's voice rang through her communicator once again, but she ignored it. She was going to get this bounty herself...
She followed the limber man to the elevator, grasping his hand tighter. Spike noticed the two entering the elevator.
" God damn it woman! You'll get yourself killed!" Spike hissed under his breath as he ran after them.
Faye smiled at the man inching his way towards her, a look of lust in his eyes. She gasped as the man slipped a cold arm around her and nibbled at her neck. She tried to push him away, but he was too strong for her small frame.
" Stop it!" She yelled, as they stepped out of the elevator. She continued to try and push him off, but was inevitably not succeeding.
" Listen woman, if you don't struggle, it won't hurt as bad..." The man held her tighter and cupped his hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming any louder.
Faye glanced over his shoulder and saw Spike making his way up the emergency stairway, she tried to scream for him, but she was brutally shoved into Aaron suite.
" Eww! Get off of me!" Faye yelled pulling out her gun. But she was too slow for him, he quickly grabbed the gun out of her hand and chucked it out the window.
" What'd I tell you bitch? I said no struggling!!" He yelled, punching her square in the face. Faye tried to scream for help but he was already forcing himself on her.
" I said get off of me you bastard!" Faye screamed, smacking Aaron across the face. She tried to struggle away but his grip was too tight.
" Don't mess wit' me slut!" He yelled continuously punching Faye in the face.
By now, Faye's face was covered in bruises, and there was a trail of blood coming from her nose and the edge of her mouth. Aaron smiled at her sight and grasped her arm tightly, flinging her against the wall.
She swore she heard something crack...
She whimpered as he made his way towads her, his gun pointing directly at her.
" Listen bitch! Do you wanna die?!" He yelled, pressing the gun against her stomach and forcing his lips onto her. Faye struggled against him, trying hard to push him off of her.
" That's it! You fucking asked for it!" He pointed the gun at her right shoulder and pulled the trigger. Faye yelped loudly as the bullet pierced through her.
" The only reason I didn't kill you is because I want a piece of your nice ass!" He dropped his gun and began to strip Faye of her clothing, licking along every part of her exposed skin.
And then there was another gunshot...
Faye thought for sure she was dead. But when she opened her eyes, there was a familiar lanky body standing before her. She blinked trying to refocuse, but everything around her went black......
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Eeek! Still no fluff! Oops, I'm sorry, but this story is turning out a lot different than I planned, I mean, in a good way. Anyways... Please review if you can ^^.
Thanx!

" Listen woman, if you don't struggle, it won't hurt as bad..." The man held her tighter and cupped his hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming any louder.
Faye glanced over his shoulder and saw Spike making his way up the emergency stairway, she tried to scream for him, but she was brutally shoved into Aaron suite.
" Eww! Get off of me!" Faye yelled pulling out her gun. But she was too slow for him, he quickly grabbed the gun out of her hand and chucked it out the window.
" What'd I tell you bitch? I said no struggling!!" He yelled, punching her square in the face. Faye tried to scream for help but he was already forcing himself on her.
" I said get off of me you bastard!" Faye screamed, smacking Aaron across the face. She tried to struggle away but his grip was too tight.
" Don't mess wit' me slut!" He yelled continuously punching Faye in the face.
By now, Faye's face was covered in bruises, and there was a trail of blood coming from her nose and the edge of her mouth. Aaron smiled at her sight and grasped her arm tightly, flinging her against the wall.
She swore she heard something crack...
She whimpered as he made his way towads her, his gun pointing directly at her.
" Listen bitch! Do you wanna die?!" He yelled, pressing the gun against her stomach and forcing his lips onto her. Faye struggled against him, trying hard to push him off of her.
" That's it! You fucking asked for it!" He pointed the gun at her right shoulder and pulled the trigger. Faye yelped loudly as the bullet pierced through her.
" The only reason I didn't kill you is because I want a piece of your nice ass!" He dropped his gun and began to strip Faye of her clothing, licking along every part of her exposed skin.
And then there was another gunshot...
Faye thought for sure she was dead. But when she opened her eyes, there was a familiar lanky body standing before her. She blinked trying to refocuse, but everything around her went black......
