Closer Chapter 5
It was late, Buffy and Faith walked hand and hand down the now quiet New York Street.
Faith's POV
God I can't believe this, it almost fees like a dream, an incredibly, amazing dream. I pinch myself with my free hand, nope definitely not a dream. I just look at B and squeeze her hand harder. She looks at me and I smile and give her a wink, which leads her to blush.
We reach my apartment doorstep and walk up the stairs. As I put the key in the deadbolt to unlock it, I have this sudden realization that this is it. I am going to be with Buffy and even more terrifying is that this is the first time I will be making love to some one and not just fucking around like I always have. She sees me hesitate before unlocking.
"Everything ok? You know if you don't want to I can go back to my motel room and we can always hang tomorrow?"
What? No, I don't want her to leave. I kiss her on one cheek and then the other and finally place the lightest kiss I can on her soft lips.
" Stay," I say, through just a whisper so quiet that I hope she heard.
With that I open my door, she walks in and stands in the middle of the room. She looks so innocent, so vulnerable. I turn my back to her but only for a moment to lock my door again. We don't need any disruptions tonight.
Buffy's POV
Faith just turned to lock the door. I wonder if she can hear how hard my heart is beating because to me it sounds like a jackhammer. The lights are dim and when she turns to face me our eyes lock.
We both take hesitant slow steps towards each other not because we don't want to do this, more because this is the one thing we have been waiting for. I can't speak for her but I am scared out of my wits.
I feel it now; this is the first and last time I will ever be in love. I mean truly, madly, deeply in love. Not that stupid high school crush love I thought was it with Angel and definitely not the puppy love with Riley but like this deep sharing of one soul kind of love. That's how I feel with Faith; she's like the dark to my light and my light to the dark.
"Fa….." I begin to say but she puts a finger on my lips. God it is so soft.
"No words," she says as she moves closer to me, "enjoy the silence." She moves in and kisses me, it's so soft, my knees go weak then she wraps her arms around my waist slightly holding me up. The kiss deepens and I can feel her tongue wrestling with mine.
Then I make the boldest move I can think of, "Can we move this into the bedroom?"
"Yeah," She responses with a stutter, "Are you sure? We can wait if you need to."
"No, no waiting, I've been waiting for 8 years for this, I'm done waiting. I want you now."
TBC…… with the Bow,chica,wahwah………love.
