Summer of faith
Chapter 9
~~&~~&~~&~~&~~
The two women make their way home. Both are hurting from their battle with Kakistos, but it's clear that Faith is suffering the most. She is leaning on Buffy, something she is reluctant to do. Her breathing is hard, and her body, besides being bruised and cut, is shaking with sobs. She is coming to terms of what has happened, and what it means to her. The fear she has had, the anger she has bottled, the pain at losing the only person she thought of as a real mother, all are coming out. She is crying like she has never allowed herself to cry before, something she has needed to do for a long time.
Buffy is doing her best to help Faith. She is holding her up. She is trying to comfort her best she can as they walk. You can see the concern she feels for her companion, how much she is aching inside to see her friend suffering so. She is still trying to deal with how Faith became so angry, so utterly wild, at Kakistos. How personally she took his evil. She knows that part of it was because Faith was afraid for her. It blows her away sometimes to realize how much Faith does care for her. And, she is also just a little blown away at how much she is beginning to care for Faith.
They reach Buffy's room first. Faith protests she is fine, she can make it home, but Buffy is not going for it. She insists that Faith come in so she can check her wounds. Faith realizes, reluctantly, that Buffy is not going to let her go until she does, and gives in.
Buffy has Faith sit on her bed. Faith is resistant, but Buffy gently pushes her down, and begins to unbutton her blouse. She is immediately struck by how many bruises Faith has. She looks like one large bruise from her collarbone to her hips. She tenderly feels her ribcage, and is relieved to find that the ribs are intact. She gently lifts the blouse from Faith's back, and checks her out. She sees a couple of large bruises forming, and a couple of cuts where Kakistos' hooves had broken skin. They didn't look too serious, but they needed attention
Buffy "Wait here, I'll get the first aid kit. You have some cuts I want to bandage."
Faith "B, honestly, I'm fine. 5 by 5. You know slayer healing, I will be fine tomorrow."
Buffy(kneeling down, looking Faith directly in the face) "Faith. Let me for once take care of you, like you're always taking care of me."
Faith( looking down at her hands) " 'k"
Buffy is struck once again how, even when Faith is obviously hurting so badly , she is more concerned about worrying her.
Buffy walks back to Faith, and gently applies antiseptic to her wounds. Faith winces, but doesn't(won't) cry out. Buffy knows all too well how that hurts, and again wishes once that Faith would just allow herself a little bit of weakness. She then very carefully bandages Faith's wounds, noting that fortunately, none seem to require stitches. But she is going to have a few scars.
Faith watches as Buffy tends to her, and finds her love for this little slayer deepening. Everything she does is so casual, like it is the most natural thing in the world that she should tend to Faith, especially since Faith knows that B is hurting also. But instead of worrying about her own wounds, she just makes sure Faith is cared for first.
" I wish so much I could tell you how I care for you, B. How much you mean to me. How happy you make me just being here with me. How I want to make you happy. But I am afraid, B. So afraid, that what I feel for you is one sided. That telling you will only create a wall between us. I'm going to have to learn that if I want to remain a part of your life, that I have to keep my feelings to myself. Frankly, B., it sucks. Big time it sucks."
Faith suddenly realizes that Buffy is no longer tending to her wounds. Instead, she is up, standing a bit away. She is staring out into space, like she is trying to decide something.
Faith is worried. She knows it has been kind of hard these last few weeks for B. Hell, her life has been hard for B. And she senses that B needs to say something.
" B? What is it?" Faith asks. She sees Buffy's face is working, coming to a decision
"Faith?" Buffy asks.
"Yes, B?"
" I need to say something. I …I'm finding it hard to say, so if I kinda take long at it, be patient with me, ok?"
"Uhh… sure, B." Faith replies. She is getting a bit nervous now. " What if Buffy is trying to find the words to tell me goodbye? Maybe she figures she needs to go home, and is finding it hard to let me down gently." Faith grips the bed, bracing for the blow.
" When I lost Angel, when I had to send him to hell to stop Acathla's spell, a lot of what was me went with him. I couldn't deal with all that had happened, all that I was responsible for, partly because there was this huge empty inside me. I felt like I was a shell: all surface, no insides.
" So, when I met you, my world was pretty gray. Eat, work, feel guilty, mourn, and sleep some. It was all I had. No joy, no color. I kind walked around in a daze. Sleepwalking, really. And then I met you. And I felt my eyes opening again. I don't know, something about you. Some kind a vibe I got off of you. You were charming and dangerous at the same time. But then, you gave me that smile of yours. I felt like a warmth in my heart. Then you kinda asked me for a date? I guess that's it. And I was like all…happy the rest of the day
" And then, even before we dated, I found out you were a slayer. It added a whole new dimension to it. Like, here was someone who knew what it was like. And I decided being with you was a good idea. And then there was the massive flirting you're doing with me. It kinda scared me and made me woozy at the same time. It made me feel… alive, desirable. I was scared, but some little part of me was loving it, too.
" and then you brought me that dress, cause I didn't have anything for clubbing. I was so touched. And then you found out about me, and were sooo pissed off. But you didn't know I had known about you just for a few hours. And I got drunk, cause I… I was afraid I would lose you. Just when I had barely got to know you. And you didn't try to take advantage of me, but you took care of me.
" It's so many things like that first night, and all the subsequent nights. The little things you would do for me. Candy when I was feeling blue. That silly yellow rose in the water glass. I can't tell you how that brightened my day.
" Then we had that fight. All my fault cause I was depressed and blue. And how I almost lost you. And how I thought I was gonna die if I lost my best bud. And I was so totally desperate to get you back. And how relieved I was , how grateful when you took me back.
"And when you got the bike, and took me up to see that sunset. How … just right it felt being with you. And when you kissed me… Oh…I was so scared, and so thrilled at the same time. It forced me to look at things differently. I had been hiding away, not realizing that something was happening. I mean, I realized you had more than just friendly feelings about me. I sensed that. What I hadn't realized was that I was having more feelings about you. And when I … I came and kissed you, I told myself it was because I wanted to make you feel better, but it really was because I wanted to taste your lips again, soft and sweet like eating berries.
" And when we shared that dream. Do you know how intimate that was? And how awful and seductive it was? Because of course I fear ever being turned, and turning someone I care for, but it was the eroticism, and the idea of being with you like that.. that just…"
Buffy blushes, and stops for a second.
Faith is sitting there, a bit stunned. This is not at all what she had expected. Not at all.
Buffy continues:
" And when I came over, and saw how bad off you were, how scared you were, my heart melted for you. I was so scared for you. But I knew you and I could do this, face this together. And, I have a confession"
Buffy blushes again
" When I stayed over to hold you that night. It wasn't just for you. God, I'm awful. I wanted to be with you, hold you. I … I … needed to. I felt so good laying there with you. I blew off work, I called in sick cause I didn't really want it to end. I crawled back in with you cause, it just felt so warm, so good , so right."
Faith is silent. She can't believe what she is hearing. Her heart is doing
dances in her chest. Her breathing has nearly stopped
" and tonight, it all came together for me. When I saw how you fought him. How you would kill him, you would die yourself, before you would let him harm me. And … I knew, I just knew…. It all just came together now in my head…
" I'm saying this so badly. I loved Angel so much. He was my first. I know,
maybe that is silly, but he was. And I still love him, I can't help that. There
are just feelings I will always have for him, because he was my first. But,
Faith, I …. I love you. I'm in love
with you. And I don't understand it. I can't make sense of it. But it is true.
And I am scared, so scared. It thrills me, and it scares me. I can't get my
head around it. I … I … please, Faith. Help me understand it . Help me, please
?"
Buffy kinda sinks to her knees, because the emotion of what is happening to her overwhelms her.
Faith gets up and goes to her. She takes Buffy in her arms, and cuddles her.
" Shhh….shhh baby. It is all right baby, I'm here. I'm here" Faith strokes her gently, soothing her
"Faith, what does it mean? I … I never felt this way about another girl before. I have had good friends, like Willow. But I've never felt these kind of feelings for her. What… I …. So confused" Buffy starts to cry
"Shhh honey, you aren't confused" Faith says gently, kissing her lightly on the cheek
" N..N…No?" Buffy stutters
"No, baby. You are in love. Like me" Faith smiles. " I can't tell you how much I have wanted to hear that from you."
"really?" Buffy, voice small
"B. For being so smart, and sexy, sometimes you're so blind. I have been in love with you almost since I met you. I …I just never met anyone like you before. You know what a lusty bitch I can be. But this was different. So different. I didn't want your body…wait...no, that is so wrong, I did want your body…but I wanted so much more. I wanted for the first time to be with you. I wanted … all the stuff. Love, sharing, and all the crappolla I had been hearing about, and making fun of. And here I was, all giddy and stupid with you. When you were drunk that time, and coming on to me, It was so hard to resist you. But I had to. So I could have more with you"
Buffy says quietly " I…kinda wish you hadn't. Resisted me"
Faith(faking shock) "B!!! You Dawg!"
Buffy(Giggling) " You still have a cute ass"
Faith blushes
Buffy "And nice girly stuff(blushing)"
"So, what do we do now?" Buffy whispers
"Umm…nothing" Faith says. " Don't know about you, but I am really too beat up to wanna…"
"OH!!FAITH!!! GEEZE" Buffy turns red.
"oh, c'mon you lil horn dog. I saw you when you were drunk, you were practically ready to rape me" Faith giggles
"!?!!FAITH??!!" Buffy is beet red to her roots.
Faith is sooo enjoying this
" B. I still haven't seen how badly you were wounded. C'mon, give it up" Faith says, turning serious
" Faith, I'm good, I'm ok" Buffy protests.
" Oh, no… I showed you mine. Now, you gotta show me yours" Faith grins, evilly
Buffy is all flustered and blushing… and tingly and excited
Faith comes over, and starts to unbutton Buffy's blouse, but Buffy takes it over. Faith looks, and sees no serious wounds.. some bruising. She looks around her back, and sees big bruises…she can't help it. She leans over, and gently kisses the bruises. Buffy squeals.
"Faith, what're you doing?" Buffy giggles, loving it.
" Kissing the boo boos" Faith chuckles.
"Hmm…seems like you had lots of boo boos to kiss, as I remember" Buffy giggles.
Faith feels her breathing getting a wee bit ragged
"mmmmm…nice as that sounds, I'm just too sore tonight" Faith says, regretfully " But, if we are careful, we can cuddle."
Both women undress, a bit self consciously. They slip into Buffy's bed, and carefully place their arms around each other. They are lying face to face, and slowly, they come together in a tender kiss. Each feels a small spark. Their lips softly play against each others. They move closer to each other, as close as they dare, and gently fall asleep in each others arms.
~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~
Buffy was running around her tiny apartment, straightening up. She wanted tonight to be perfect, and she was doing her best to make it so.
She had scented candles scattered everywhere. She had bought a tablecloth for the little table she had in her room, and had picked up a vase and flowers for the table. She had covered the lamps with a peach covered cloth to dim their light, and had bought a new bedspread for the bed. She was wearing the blue dress and belt that Faith had given her, and some new sandals she had picked up. She wanted everything just so, and was making herself a bit crazy doing it.
She set out the plates on the table, along with the wine. She had gotten Chinese from the little place around the corner, and had the containers in the kitchenette. She figured it was best not to kill Faith on the first date with her cooking( she giggled to herself). She rushed over to the mirror and was putting the final touches on her makeup when the she heard a knock.
~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~
Faith:
I am standing at her door, feeling silly. I never dress like this, what? Black dress, heels, and a necklace? So not me. But, I wanted to look special for her, and I kinda have to admit, it looks hot(chuckles). Hmmm… even did the perfume thing. God, is she turning me girly or what?(chuckling) Well, she did mention she liked my girly parts. Oh god, I am babbling. What power does this Blonde have over me? If I didn't know she was a slayer, I would swear she was a witch. Maybe she took lessons from her friend …what was her name? …oh, yeah Willow. Knew it was some kinda tree…stop babbling Faith, and knock
( Faith knocks, and then Buffy is at the door)
Oh, man she looks great. How can she make that dress look so good? (hmmm…bet it looks better on the floor when I get it off of her…FAITH...concentrate).Now she is like… pouring herself on me. And she expects me not to throw her on the floor right here?
Buffy( low voice, sexy)"Hi, baby(whispers in Faith's ear) you look hot"( nibbles on Faith's ear)
Whoa, girl… forget the floor, just jump up on my hips
Faith( throaty voice) " Hi, Baby" (nuzzles Buffy's neck)
Hmmm… she smells wonderful. Don't wrap her up, I'll just eat her here.
Buffy(softly) "I like your dress( whisper)would like it even better off"( reaches around and squeezes Faiths butt).
Shit. Keep that up and we won't make it out of the doorway.
Buffy " I still think you have a cute butt" giggles, and gives it a pat.
Ok… this is the shy sweet little blonde I know? Or has she been possessed by Aphrodite?
Then she takes and gives me a kiss to make my …toes curl. Her lips are so warm, and soft. And she is like licking my lips… Ok, I know she has been possessed…I am thinking some sex demon now
She takes my hand, gives me a shy over the shoulder look(god, I want her), and leads me into her apartment. WOW. She has gone all out. Candles, music, geeze…Why do I feel like that fly in the spider's parlor?
Buffy(shyly) " You like?" gesturing around
Faith( giving Buffy the once over) "I like, oh I do so like"
Buffy blushes prettily
Oh, my god. How am I supposed to get through dinner? How am I supposed to make it to the bed, my god B. . Just shoot me now, I am in heaven
I hand her a box
Faith( grinning) " I got you a little something"
Buffy " You did?" Takes the box, and gets all giggly and excited. Wow, she can just go straight to the heart. Man, how do you defend against this? Ummm…who wants to?
Buffy opens the box, and sees a little gold circlet with a bright blue stone. She squeals, and slips it over her wrist
Buffy( all soft) " It's so pretty. I love it". Giving me another big kiss…oh, my ,oh my ,oh my
Buffy(soft) "I'll get dinner" She smiles at me
You aren't dinner then?
And I just watch her, enamored with her every move. God, how can she be so sweet, and sexy, and all innocent looking and feel so dangerous at the same time? She makes me want to protect her and ravish her at the same time. Damn, it's just not fair! No one should be that utterly sexy.
Buffy(smiling) "C'mon, Faithy, let me feed you here"
Believe me honey, you are feeding me. Grrrrrrrrrr
So, we're sitting and chatting and eating, though I can't taste the food, cause I am drinking her in. and she is smiling, and I am trying to follow so hard what she is saying, but I find myself getting lost in her eyes… which tonight seem to be more bluish green than the usual brownish green. I never noticed her eyes change color before. God, one more little surprise she pulls on me…. And then she does that blow me away thing again….cause I feel her toes rubbing up and down my leg. OH GOD !!!!!!
Faith(voice quavering) " B., honey. If you keep that up, we're not going to make it through dinner" or the next bite, actually.
Buffy( tiny voice) " And that would be bad?"
And suddenly we are both up and in each other's arms, sharing a very, very passionate kiss.
~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~
Buffy:
Oh god I love this woman. She has me in her arms, and is melting my brain with her kiss. Her tongue is in my mouth, and I am sucking on it, and I don't know or care where the hell we are.
When I opened the door and saw her in that black dress and heels, I wanted to just throw her on the floor right there in the hall and take her. God, she looks so hot. Her hair all shiny and dark, her eyes…God her eyes just make me go nuts. And her kissing… god, I could write volumes on that. So soft, her lips just take mine over. Hmm… I got her though. The little ear nibble, the butt squeeze, the kisses …yeah, I could see she was getting just a bit fired up. But I think the toe on the leg did the trick(giggles) I am so bad….oh…my ..where is her hand…OH, MY…mmmmm….yessss , I do like that …. Sigh…oh …her tongue on my neck…god I think I am gonna die right now…mmmmm… maybe not die… but maybe just lose my mind….god, it is getting warm in here… and hard to breath….what is she doing? Unzipping my dress(giggle)…she is in for a bit of a surprise
~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~
Faith:
Oh, my god, she is not wearing ANYTHING under this dress….the little tart. God, her skin is so smooth, so silky…I just wanna kiss every little bit of it….where is her hand going, anyway? Ohhhhhh…. Damn…B … stop that, I am having enough trouble holding back…now she is forcing her tongue in my mouth…the little vixen…,mmmmm. God she tastes good…gotta stop, gotta breath…maybe another second…ohhh…mmmmm…ok, really gotta breathe now…well...ok…one more second….another….another…
~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~
They break the kiss, both staring into each other's eyes, breathing raggedly… then they kiss again, tiny little kisses, which get deeper, and deeper…and their hands find new and interesting places to explore on each other…and their bodies sort of melt together.
Buffy finally breaks away… and shakes out of her dress…she kicks away her sandals and stands before Faith, nude.
Faith just stares, not believing how beautiful she is. Her hair just lightly touching the tops of her small, pert breasts. The pink nipples erect, her tummy trim, her hips with just a nice little flair, and oh how her tummy leads to that sweet v between her legs. And her legs, so supple. God, faith feels herself getting a bit…damp.
Buffy walks over to Faith, and giggles" Someone in this room is so overdressed" . She goes behind Faith, and unzips her…and then begins to pull off her dress….Faith is like shivering under Buffy's touch, but doesn't resist…Hell, she couldn't resist if she wanted to. Buffy pulls off faith's dress so it pools at her feet, then unhooks Faith's bra. She flings it…somewhere, reaches around and places her hands over Faith's breasts. Faith just groans, and Buffy is gently squeezing and massaging her. Buffy pushes herself against Faith so she can feel her
Faith is , well… when she can think, she is thinking " Let me see…this was the same girl who a couple of days ago said " Help me figure it out, faith?" I think she has it figured…oh, god. She has it figured. She feels Buffy's tongue lightly caressing her spine, and she forgets her own name. Lets see she has never done this before? God , she must have a great imagination. She feels Buffy tugging at her panties, and they are going down, down, down to her ankles…and damn, the girl is bringin her hands back up INSIDE my thighs…ahhh damn her.Yeah...right…god…how does she DO that?
Faith turns around, lifts Buffy into her arms, and Buffy encircles her neck with her arms.
Faith(breathing hard) " Do you know what you are doing to me?
Buffy(innocent smile) " Gee, am I doing it right?" giggles
Faith(growling) " Any more right and I am gonna cum right here"
Buffy(giggling) " I am bad?"
Faith" Oh, yeah, baby, you are sooo bad" She kisses Buffy fiercely
They stand there, Faith holding Buffy, kissing passionately till both run out of breath
Faith(breathing hard)"God, what you do to me"
Buffy(Stroking a finger down Faith's chest between her breasts) Oooo look, Girly parts(giggling)
Buffy leans in, and gently bites Faith's erect nipple. Faith nearly drops her
Faith groans
Buffy begins to suckle on Faith's breast, and Faith feels her knees growing weak. She stumbles to the bed, and lays back. Buffy is on top of her, and straddles her.
Buffy looms over Faith, and whispers " Hi Faithy"
Faith looks up at her, and says " B…what are you doing to me?"
Buffy(soft, sultry and sexy)"making love to you"
Buffy kisses Faith's pulse point, the slides her tongue along the back of Faith's ear… slowly, she runs her tongue down Faith neck. Faith feels like she is on fire, and feels ice in her tummy. She is so….so aroused, her mind just is a whirl of sensations and emotions. Buffy kisses her way down, and lightly nibbles on the tops of Faith's breasts. Slowly, she works towards the nipples, and lashes her tongue across them, then selects one to suckle on. She positions herself so she can slide her thigh between Faith's legs, and pushes it against Faith's damp mound. Faith is making little mewling and whimpering sounds, and is pushing back against Buffy's thigh. Buffy rolls Faith over, so she is more comfortable, and starts rubbing her thigh against faith's nether lips. Faith is rolling her hips against Buffy's thigh, and moaning, softly at first, then louder. Buffy nips at each of Faiths breasts, then engages Faith in a hot, passion filled kiss. Their tongues are fighting and caressing. Buffy runs her nails up and down Faith's back, and works her thigh faster against faith's mound. Faith is …just lost. Her mind checked out awhile ago. Her body is just reacting to what Buffy is doing… so well. Her moans get louder, and Buffy reaches down, and finds Faith's engorged bud. She rubs it very lightly, and Faith just explodes. She screams out Buffy's name, and she stiffens….and then relaxes into a heap. Buffy draws her close, and holds her as the shivers gradually lessen.
Faith, when her mind starts working again, looks at Buffy. She sees this goddess just holding her, and she is floored by what she just did to her.
Faith(whispering, hoarse) " How the…what the… how did you know to do that?" Faith just can't believe that this little blonde never did this before.
Buffy(blushing)… " ummm…well… I wanted to do it right, so I …(blushing) got some sex manuals… ..well…. and just kinda fantasized it….and got some videos…(blushing) to watch technique… Did I do it wrong?" (flushed)
Faith( exhausted, but sooo happy) Oh, no baby…no wrong there…so not wrong
Faith, as she is recovering, thinks this gives a whole new meaning to 'research' and giggles.
Faith reaches out, and pulls the blonde woman towards her " My turn" she growls, softly
Unlike Buffy, she starts out very slowly, caressing Buffy with light tender strokes. She can feel Buffy shivering under her touch, so she pulls her in and hugs her, wrapping her in her legs and arms. She kisses her gently, and begins to caress her again. She gets Buffy used to her touch, soft gentle strokes along her sides, back and bottom. Buffy melts into her, and the kiss deepens. Their tongues play gently with each other, lightly caressing and touching. Slowly, Faith withdraws her kiss, to Buffy's whimpering protest, but the begins to nibble on her ear. Buffy sighs a small sigh.
Faith gently runs her finger up and down Buffy's spine, and lightly paddles her bottom. Then she rubs the heat back into her cheeks, and Buffy wiggles against, her, and her sigh deepens. Faith rolls Buffy onto her back , and traces a finger from her throat to her mound…lightly stroking up and down. Buffy moans softly, and starts to get a bit flushed. Faith brings her finger around, and starts to draw rings around Buffy's breasts, starting at the base, and working toward the nipple. When she reaches the areolas, she lightly takes each nipple in her mouth and sucks on it.
Buffy(groaning) Bite them, please bite them
Faith obliges, biting each nipple. Buffy lets out a deep moan, and her body starts to shake. Faith trails her hand down to between Buffy's thighs, and lightly brings it up towards her mound. Buffy sighs and whimpers, and opens her legs a bit more. Faith gently strokes her mound, and Buffy's hips begin to rock against her hand. Faith slips a finger into her, then another, and Buffy lets out a long, deep groan. Faith moves down, and gently licks at Buffy's erect bud. Buffy's hips begin to buck, and faith takes her bud between her lips and lightly sucks it. Buffy is calling out her name, over and over, and Faith lightly works her fingers within Buffy, as she suckles her bud. Slowly, slowly, slowly… and then faster and faster Buffy is driven over the edge. She lets out a loud moan, and her body stiffens…Faith comes up, and wraps Buffy in her arms as the waves of her orgasm overtake her. She gently rocks the small blonde in her arms, and the shaking gradually subsides. Buffy looks at Faith, tears are in her eyes, and she is lightly sobbing
Faith( soothing) " Honey, are you ok?"
Buffy( softly, little whimper) oh… so happy, so happy , God so, so ok" her voice cracks
Faith( softly) " There , there honey…It's ok" and she rocks Buffy
Buffy(whispering) " You made me so happy, Faithy. I love you so much" she lightly captures faith's lips in a kiss
The kiss is gentle, and sweet, conveying the love each feels for the other. They break the kiss, and Buffy nestles herself against Faith.
Faith(her heart full, her voice soft) "I love you too, B.
with all my heart"
Slowly, the two drift to sleep.
Before Faith drifts off, she thinks about this amazing woman-child in her arms. How delightful and wonderful she is. How much she means to her, and how she has brought such sweet love to her life
" Every day she brings me something new and wonderful" Faith thinks drowsily. " I wonder what is next?"
Faith can hardly wait to find out.
