"So I should expect a visit from peaches then"
"Anytime now" she shrugged.
"Something else you're not telling me" He stated.
"There's a whole lot of elses I'm not telling you Spike, but for now I'm not even sure I've the energy to" she really hope he wasn't gonna try and make him tell her about Buffy.
"Do you thin I'm stupid? I know is about her, you're just probably trying to protect me from the news that she's happily shaking it up with some bloke, Is not like I've expected her to be mourning over poor ol' me after all this time let alone miss me" he finished sarcastically.
"Is this what this is about you want to know if she missed you?" she asked incredulous it was ridiculous. he should know she did.
"I know she didn't, don't ever give her a reason to, I just want to know that the new guy's treating her right"
"Look man" she began amusedly at his concern "I'm not gonna lie to you and tell you she's a wreck coz she's not"
His face fell a little but he tried to restrain himself of looking too hurt. It was one thing to rationalize it and other to feel it.
"But she was, at first I mean, but something happened something that make her, no that gave her a reason to start over, a reason to live."
He was about to retort something but Faith stop him.
"Is true, you have no idea, she was trying to be all happy coz she was free and alive and proud because you save her, save all of us" she sighed then continued, he didn't dare to say anything , no matter how much the idea of his Slayer hurting over him pained him, his curiosity took the better of him. "but the happy didn't come, she was silent, distract, like if she tried to talk it out she would choke because no one would ever understand what she was feeling, except someone did" she paused for a moment, then Spike motioned her to continue.
"Xander's was no better than she was, they sat silently for hours on Angel's back garden neither one said a word, but somehow it was what helped them heal I guess, that went on for about a month or so, then something happened that made her life do a 180, but is not my place to tell you what it was."
"Was it bad?"
"Nope definitely of the good, but she still missed you"
"Thank you"
She decided to speak before the air got too emotional.
"Well it was hard to miss; she really went through a serious diva-phase" At his puzzled look she explained.
"Let me put if like this, if I have to listen to Mariah Carey's "My All" one more time, I'm crossing to the dark side again"
"That right? Bleeding tragic taste in music that one has"
she was about to comment on that, but a nurse came in the room, she brought Faith a pillow and some sheets so that she would stay in the Couch beside the bed, then she put some sedative and painkillers in Spike's serum, so that he would sleep well, then the nurse asked for Faith to leave the room, she went to grab something to eat, by the time she came back Spike was sound asleep so she went to the couch, after a few minutes she too was asleep.

It was 4 Am, when an unpleasant movement woke Faith up, it was her cell phone which was currently on vibration mode, she took it and went out of the room not to disturbed Spike.
"Hello" she half yawned.
**Hey, what's going on? I've been trying to get a hold of you for about 20 minutes**
"Chill, I was sleeping you woke me up"
**Sleeping? Where? are you are you still in the hospital?**
"Still here B, where are you? Shouldn't you be here about 3 hours ago?"
**we got delayed in Cancun. Can you believe I couldn't find a single straight flight!? Anyway we just landed, the guys are taking a cap to Robin's, I wanted to let you know that I'm going straight to the hospital, were room is he in? **
"403, but maybe you should go with them and rest a little, I don't think they're gonna let you in this early and he is probably gonna be out for another couple of hours"
**why is something wrong?**
"Nah" another yawn "he's peachy, they put him to sleep, he needed to rest before getting in full health again"
**that's good, what did you tell him about us? About what's happened?**
"Enough so that he wouldn't freak too much"
**You didn't tell him about Will did you?**
"of course not, why? You want me to?"
**NO! I'm the one who's gonna tell him, if and when Willow reverses the Spell, how do you think he's gonna take it?**
"Hard to say, but don't worry he still loves you, I don't think is gonna be bad"
**he does? He's not mad at me?**
"Why would he be mad at you? he loves you for fucks sake"
**For letting him die**
"Look B, we've been over this a hundred times, it wasn't your fault, he did it willingly so instead of worrying over nothing why don't you take a nap, a bath then come and play nurse for Blondie here."
**yeah I think that's good idea**
"Yeah, except he's not Blondie anymore, still cute though"
**I bet. Ok so I'll let you go back to sleep, take care bye** with that she hung up.
"So she's not coming yet huh?" Faith was startled by Angel's low voice.
"Angel, what are you doing here?"
"Came to check in sleeping badness, making sure he was safe and all"
"How considerate"
"Yow know me" he shrugged "so, how is he?"
"Like you don't already know"
"True" he acknowledge"what about her? Heard she was coming later"
"She is"
"That's too bad cause she's not gonna find him here"
That was the last thing Faith heard before being shot with a teaser gun from behind and knocked unconscious on the floor.
"Come on guy's the girl recovers pretty fast, get the English patient and lest get out of here" Angel ordered to the 5 vamps who appeared to come out of nowhere.
"What do we do with the Slayer?"
"Take her to his room, leave her there and don't even think of hurting her" he warned.
"Oh and asked that nurse for more sedatives got a feeling we are gonna need them"
"I'm on it boss"

A/N: I Know it is too short but I was feeling uninspired, Spuffy will come soon I promise I'm already on it.
