"Goodbye, Frenchie! I'm off to work!," Faye announced, her hand hovering lightly over the doorknob as she used her free hand to secure the taut bun on the back of her head. "Make sure that Spike gets some breakfast, ok?!"

"I'm the only one up,"
a deep, sultry voice imformed her from behind. "Thanks for thinking about me, though."

Faye stiffened due to her tremendous surprise, then let out a heavy sigh, acknowledging wearily, "Spike.....I-I didn't think that you'd be up at this hour. It's rather early, you know."

"I could say the same thing to you," Spike retorted, his deep, two-toned irises questioning her as he looked her over with a profound interest that set her heart at unease. "Where ya headed?"

"Out,"
Faye replied bluntly, ripping open the door to the apartment in an instant with the sole hope of escaping her lover's unnerving questions. "Make sure that the door's locked behind me.....ok?"

"Oh, no you don't!,"
Spike growled, shooting his arm forward so that the door slammed shut with a loud bang, his two-toned irises burning into her own like a blazing fire as he ever so slowly drew his face closer to her own, ordering harshly, "Talk to me, Faye.....NOW!"

"I have to go to work!,"
she argued, roughly pushing him away from her being as she took a small step backwards. "Just let me go, ok?! I said I'd make time for you, but now is NOT the right time!!!"

"Then when will be the right time?," Spike inquired softly, his eyes swimming over with misery as he looked her over with the sole hope of finding out the answer to his question somewhere deep within her eyes. "I need to know why you're avoiding me like this, Faye......don't you love me, anymore?"

Completely taken aback, she gasped, her heart going out to him as she insisted fervently, "Yes, Spike, I do love you. I care about you more than anything in this miserable world, but it-it's just that.....well.....we've been apart for so long that I-I'm just not exactly sure how to act around you, anymore."

"Be yourself," Spike urged soothingly, his warm hands cupping her radiant face within their depths as he studied her incredible jade eyes with a hungry appetance. "Be the young woman that I fell so deeply in love with those many years ago."

Faye suddenly stiffened within his embrace, realizing how offensive his words truly were. Taking a deep breath, she questioned meekly, "And what if that girl's gone? Would you still love me?"

"Yes,"
Spike admitted without hesitation. "I can honestly say that I'll be in love with you until the very day that I die and part from your sweet being."

"Oh, Spike,"
Faye whimpered, closing her eyes as he pressed his lips to her soft cheek and held her close in adoration. "I love you so much.......I-I was afraid that I'd never see you again."

"Nothing could keep me away from the woman that I love,"
Spike insisted, inhaling her heavenly scent with contentment as he fondly nipped at her earlobe.

Just as Faye began to feel herself being completely taken over by his enticing touch, she managed to protest shrilly, "NO! I-I mean..........not yet."

Giving her a hurt look, Spike nodded, conceding softly, "Alright......but I-I just want you to know that I am truly sorry for coming on to you so forcefully like that. It's just that I haven't held you for five years, and I can honestly say that it's driving me absolutely crazy! Do you understand what I'm getting at?"

"Yes,"
Faye acknowledged, feelings of regret swirling within her soul as she bowed her head in dismay. "Yes, I do. Um.....will you excuse me? Work awaits."

"Alright,"
Spike agreed weakly, feeling as if he were to blame for her discomfort as he watched his love storm out of the apartment without even as much as a goodbye, the door slamming shut tightly behind her, thus causing him to feel as if his heart had been crushed by the tremendous force.

"Oh, Faye," he thought miserably, closing his eyes as he envisioned her radiant beauty and sucked in his breath due to his vast longing for her tender love and affection. "Why are you treating me this way? Yes, I must admit that I don't deserve you and your amazing gift of love, but my GOD! Being away from you all this time while we're under the same roof is driving me absolutely CRAZY!!!"

"Sugar for your tea, sir?"

"Uhh...yes, please," the customer decided with a slight shrug of his shoulders, pushing his cup and saucer towards Faye as she obeidiently sprinkled a packet of sugar's contents within its aphotic depths and stirred it about with the man's spoon.

"There you are," she acknowledged, beaming brightly as she pushed back a loose strand of hair out of her eyes. "Will there be anything else, sir?"

The man shook his head. "No thank you, ma'am......I'm quite alright at the moment."

"Very well," Faye agreed, giving him a polite nod of her head as she spun around on her heel and headed on over towards the cash register by the front entrance of the restaurant.

As she did this, a familiar face caught her attention, thus causing her to stop midstep and whirl around towards the broad window, her breath catching in her throat the moment that she laid her eyes upon a dubious figure in a tan trench coat that continued to casually stroll on down along the sidewalk until it was completely out of sight.

"R-Randall?," Faye questioned breathlessly, shaking her head wildly back and forth as if to rid herself of the extremely harrowing thought. "No.....it can't be!"
**************************************************************************************************************************
"Nice to see that you're back."

Faye ceased in brushing her sleek, shiny violet locks in an instant, her jade eyes darting upward, only to lay themselves upon the handsome reflection of a tall, lanky young man in the doorway.

Noticing her mulish facade, Spike asked quickly, "Uh...can I come in? I promise that I won't be a nuisance this time."

Faye bit her lip, then nodded in accedence, blushing the moment that she realized that Spike had just taken a shower, a dark blue pair of pants being the only item of clothing that concealed his half-naked body from her imploring gaze.

Immediately shaking her head as if to rid herself of the attractive being before her, she asked with a much harsher tone than anticipated, "So what do you want, Spike? Another chance to make me feel completely guilty and miserable?!"

Spike blanched. "I....I made you feel that way?"

"Of course you did!," Faye spat, adamantly folding her arms across her broad bosom as she turned her nose up into the air with contempt. "I've had a terrible day, Spike, so the last thing that I need is your pathetic cajoling!"

"I'm sorry,"
he apologized ruefully, much to her astonishment. "I'll just leave.......ok?"

"Uh....NO!," Faye protested shrilly, leaping up from the chair that she had been stationed upon in an instant of sheer panic. Instantly noticing the bewildered expression scrawled out across his face, she continued apprehensively, "I-I mean.....I am so sorry for being such a moody bitch. I honestly don't know what came over me, so can you please try to find it in yourself to forgive me, Spike? Please?"

"I was never mad at you to begin with,"
he assured her gently, a small smile gracing his lips as he gingerly brushed back a loose whisp of violet that laid carelessly strewn across one of her pale, silky cheeks. "I may've been a bit frustrated since you were continuously turning me away, but I was never mad."

"I-I missed you!,"
Faye suddenly blurted, thus completely changing the subject.

Before she could even recover what she had so carelessly divulged, Spike cupped her radiant face within his hands and bestowed her crimson lips with a gentle kiss, breathing fervently against their softness, "I missed you, too, my love......I missed you, too."

Faye whimpered as he moved in towards her with a sudden stalwart force, his mouth ravaging her rosy lips in a bruising kiss that tantalized her five senses as she subconsciously whisked her beautifully-manicured fingers within the moss-green tangles along the nape of his neck.

"My God, I've missed this," Spike moaned into his lover's ear as Faye pressed her mouth passionately against the softness of his cheek, a familiar hardness taking over the lower region of his body as she began to caress his smooth, muscular torso in longing.

"Are you sure that I'm the one you want?," Faye suddenly inquired, slightly pulling away from his tender embrace so that she could gaze into his beautiful two-toned irises with concern. "After all, I've been quite the bitch, lately."

A warm smirk slipped across Spike's lips as he shook his head, contradicting good-naturedly, "Of course not, Faye.......I love you, and that's all that I need to know to realize that you will always and forever be my one and only."

Her eyes widening, Faye debated whether or not to believe his brief speech of love and devotion, her mind quickly being made up for her the moment that Spike hungrily crushed his lips up against her own, his tongue lightly caressing her soft, moist orifice as he tried his best to taste her inner sweetness.

Moaning into his open mouth, Faye seductively ran her hand down along the well-developed muscles of his lower abdomen before grasping his manhood in a moment of sheer desire, a low growl escaping Spike's lips as he roughly seized her by the shoulders and thrusted her up against the wall, her grip upon his hardened arousal only tightening as he buried his face into the crook of her neck and moaned deeply.

Blushing deeply due to Spike's obvious sexual excitement, Faye released him in mortification, only to have him grind his hips against her own in longing with the hopes of spurring her onward.

"Spike," she moaned, her legs gradually giving out beneath her as he began to grind into her with a deeper, more vigorous stamina than before. "Please, my love...please slow down."

"I can't,"
he returned breathlessly, her labored breathing only further exciting him as they both collapsed heavily onto the hardwood floor and clung to one another like a tightly bound knot. "I....can't."

Biting her lip in order to supress an impassioned moan, Faye closed her eyes and whimpered as Spike straddled her hips and tentatively began to ease her blouse up and over her head, his tongue immediately gliding a fiery trail upon her smooth, flat stomach before he nipped at her breasts and breathed her name upon her soft, tepid flesh.

Moaning deeply, Faye peered out through her hooded lids up at the shoddy ceiling as tears of pain and bliss pooled beneath her lashes, her breath catching in her throat the instant that she felt Spike begin to roughly tug at her short skirt, her silky black panties slipping down over her slender hips, as well, as he peeled away at the last of her garments and pressed his warm, satin lips against her bare stomach, a deep sigh escaping her being as she held him close and gazed up into his two-toned irises in adoration.

"I love you," she breathed, kissing him softly on the lips as she felt him cradle her hips against his own and sigh into her open mouth with a deep passion. "I never want to part from your side again."

"Nor I from yours,"
Spike agreed breathlessly, moving in for a deep and passionate kiss as he clumsily tried to undo the stubborn button to his pants.

Whimpering under his kiss, Faye bit his lower lip and quickly assisted him in the removal of the two thin barriers that separated and kept them from being one, Spike secretly taking something out of the depths of his pants' pocket before kicking both them and his boxers off of his ankles in a moment of sheer desire.

Moaning due to the aura of lustful bliss that encompassed her within its vast serenity, Faye closed her eyes as she felt something cold to the touch slip upon her finger, Spike's lips edaciously ravaging her lower body as she curled her toes and let out a slight shudder that racked her very body.

No longer to take the suspense any longer, Faye lifted her hand up in front of her face, only to catch sight of a dazzling, coruscating beauty upon her finger as it flashed within the moonlight. Swallowing, she demanded breathlessly, "What's this? I-I'm afraid that I don't understand the meaning of such a beautiful gift."

"Marry me, my love,"
Spike responded fervidly, roughly thrusting forward without warning. "Marry me."

Faye cried out and grasped at his form in sheer agony due to his rather harsh entry as he began to ride her with all that he had, her voice cracking slightly as she managed to choke, "Y-yes.....I.....w-will."

In an immediate response to her decision, Spike's thrusts began to grow much more painful and deeper within her, an agonized cry escaping her lips as the friction only heightened between them with each subtle shimmy of the hips that either one or the other of them happened to make.

Feeling himself beginning to wear down, Spike moaned into his lover's ear and climaxed within her in a single burst of liquid fire, their erratic breathing gradually slowing as they gently eased their bodies down flat against the cool hardness of the floor and entwined their arms about one another with the sole hope of never being separated ever again.

"I love you," Spike breathed, pressing his lips passionately against his fiancee's cheek as he held her close against his broad chest and buried his face within the crook of her neck. "Thank you so much for being here for me and not betraying me like Julia did so very long ago."

Smiling, Faye dreamily closed her eyes and snuggled up against him, returning fervently, "You're welcome, my love......goodnight."
