Alrighty here it is folks, the last chapter.
Thank the gods that gave my gf laryngitis (I know that sounds terrible,
but now she can't yell at me) for allowing me to post this chapter
quickly. Sorry I ended it kinda fast, but I really need to focus on
other things so I had to end it. Thanks to all those who reviewed!
Buffy POV
"You don't understand, Faith, I love you."
OH MY GOD!
Omigod! Omigod! Omigod!
The expression on Faith's face is just priceless! All the color vanished from her face the second those three words left Cordelia's mouth. I zoom in to get a close up shot of her face, she looks so mortified. Her mouth is moving up and down, like she's trying to say something, but no sound actually comes out. She kinda reminds me of a dying fish… uh-oh, Faith has turned weird shade of gray and seems to have begun hyperventilating, that can't be good – funny, but not good.
Okay, I think it's time to bring her down. I hand the camcorder over to Willow, who's trying her hardest to stifle her laughter. I run over and jump into Faith's arms, almost knocking her over in the process. I wrap my legs around her waist and my arms around her neck, giving her a big kiss on the lips.
"I love you too, Faithy," I say in a sing-song voice, making her jaw drop.
"Wha…? You…? I…? How…?"
Faith POV
"Wha…? You…? I…? How…?" I look over her shoulder to see Cordy with the biggest shit-eating grin I've ever seen. H-o-l-y shit! I can't believe they got me.
"Payback's a bitch ain't it Faithy?"
"Why you little—"
"It took me awhile to figure out how I was gonna get you back," B smirks, tightening her legs around my waist. "I was talking to Cordelia, after that little prank you and Xander decided to pull on me, and when I mentioned you, she was more than happy to help me."
I look over at Cordy, "So you… you were in on this the whole time?"
She just continues to grin. Bitch.
"So the pool hall…? the Bronze…? the mall? That was all planned?"
"Why'd you think Buffy wanted you to take her to the pool hall, Fai?" Cordy smirks. Why that little…
"Yup," B smiles and tilts her head towards Red, where I see her holding a camera. Fuck.
Wait, how'd she get here before me?
"How the hell did you get before I did?"
"Well, ever since I caught Deputy Finn in a very compromising position with another deputy… he's owed me a favor," she says indifferently, lightly hopping down off me, "all I had to do was make phone call." Deputy Finn? Wait…
"That douche-bag who pulled over on the way here?" B just nods, smiling. "Wait a minute and what about the sex?" I look over at Cordy.
"Well, that was just for fun," Cordy interjects. Well, that was fun, but I'm still fuckin' pissed.
"Just couldn't keep it in your pants, could ya Fai?" B sneers.
"Shut up, B."
I thought I was pissed earlier, but this is way beyond pissed. I'm gonna kill her… I reach for the little blonde's neck, but she sees my intent and quickly backs away.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't bitch slap you back to last Tuesday," I hiss.
"You so deserved it, what you did to me was just as bad." Dammit, that is a good reason.
"Ugh! Fuck this." I get back in my car and peel out, smoking the tires so much that I leave them all coughing. Little bitches. I can't fucking believe that little slut-bomb got me.
Buffy POV
"We got her sooo good! That was such a great performance, Cordy. I don't know why you didn't stay in drama. That was, like, totally Oscar-worthy!"
"I know, but I just couldn't stand the drama freaks."
"Ooo, you have to come and check out all the new outfits I got out of this."
Faith POV
I drive around for little bit. I don't have any particular destination in mind, but I needed to get away from those scheming bitches. I'm soooo fucking mad, I cannot believe she did that shit to me, that is so fucked up. Okay, okay, what I did to her was pretty bad, but still…
After driving around for awhile, I find myself at the Bronze. I walk in and take a seat at the bar, it's pretty dead in here tonight, but Tess is working so that's okay.
"Hey Faith," she greets me happily.
"Hey Tess," wow, she looks good. She's wearin' this red halter that generously shows off her back and black leather pants that look like they're painted on. God, she's so smokin' hot!
"You look like you've had a rough night," she says, setting a drink down in front of me.
"Like you wouldn't believe," I down half the drink in one gulp.
"Whoa, there, we wouldn't want you pass out before you tell me about it, would we?" she chides jokingly, but pours me another Jack and Coke.
"So it all started when…"
Half an hour and five drinks later...
"Wow, I can't believe she did that to you. That's like, almost as bad as telling someone you're pregnant just to fuck with them."
"I'm sure if that was physically possible, they'd have done that," I slur. Hmm… maybe just one more drink and I'll go home. She smiles at me and tenderly takes my hand.
"Y'know Faith, I'm quitting here."
"Really? Why?"
"Yeah, I put in my two weeks notice this morning. And there's this place across town, City Limits, they pay, like, way better. So…" She says, drawing little circles on the back of my hand with her thumb.
"Wait," my brain just processed what she's saying and doing, "does that mean Bronze policy goes flying out the window?"
"Yup." Maybe tonight won't be that bad after all.
THE END
(What? Ya'll didn't think I put Tess in there for nothing did you? I mean, c'mon, Ashley Scott is fuckin' hot, I rented Walking Tall just to see her 30 second striptease – and it was totally worth it.)
BTW, I was considering a sequel to this story, but it probably won't be started for awhile. Let me know if ya'll think I should do it or move on to something else…
