Chapter 12: Crush
Faith continued working, she stopped when she heard a knock on the door. She looked up and saw Xander standing there.
"Hi, Xander," she said.
"Hi, just wanted to see what's up," he said falsely.
"Nothing, just trying to work," she said.
"How's that guy you're goin' out with been treating you," Xander asked.
Xander had a crush on Faith. Though he never told her, it was there. She just saw right through him.
"It's going good," Faith said.
Xander managed a fake smile. "That's good, that's real good," he said, "well I should get back to work," he said, then left.
Faith looked down at her work, she rested her head on her palms.

Faith walked into her apartment, it was dark, and she turned the light on. She heard snoring coming from the bedroom. The phone rang, she answered it quickly.
"Hello?" she asked, exhausted.
"Faith, don't bother coming in tomorrow," Willows voice said.
"Why not? What's up?" Faith asked.
"Giving you a two week vacation," Willow said.
"Am I still getting paid?" Faith asked.
"Yeah," came the response.
"Okay, bye," Faith said.
"Bye," Willow said hanging the phone up.
Faith walked into the bedroom, Angel was on the bed sleeping, directly in the center of the bed. Faith walked into the bathroom and washed the make-up off her face. She walked back into the bedroom and got dressed in a baggy T-shirt. She playfully nudged Angel. He opened his eyes, and looked at her, he rolled over and gave her some space. She got into bed right next to him. She got close to him, the faces nearly touching. He kissed her, and held her in his arms, she closed her eyes and fell asleep in his embreace.
