"Shit." Spike took his coat and walked out the door.
"Spike where you going?" asked Jet.
"If she can be a drunk so can I." He turned to see Faye's eyes wide open.
"Damn." He said under his breath. "Faye I didn't mean …" Faye slapped him before he could finish his sentence.
Faye sped past him and walked down the hall to her room. Spike just walked away.
Damn Faye! Damn that fight…why the hell does she have to be so touchy? She knows I didn't mean it. I can't believe she said that. Julia was the only woman I loved, well there might be one more. I have to go somewhere.
Spike went to the Red house; the same one Faye went to the night before.
He opened the doors. The red-hot walls and carpet blinded him. He saw people drunk already. He sat down at the bar…
"What can I get ya?" a man asked.
"Cheapest damn thing you got." Spike never looked up. The two men from the night before sat two stools away from Spike.
"That damn Jason! He promised us that we would've gotten that fine looking woman." They had bruises on their faces.
"Which one he promised us a lot last night." Said David.
"The one with the purple hair and beautiful green eyes. You know the one he kicked our Asses for." Spike's ears became burning with curiosity.
"Oh that one." Said David.
"Yeah…that damn bastard takes everything away from us." Said David.
"You boys wanna say something to my face?" Jason's voice came from behind them. They both jumped up with fear. "JASON!" They both cried.
"It was David…he-he started it!" said Jeff.
"You liar! You know you started it!" back and forth they blamed each other like little kids.
"ENOUGH!" Jason picked up Jeff who really started it; and threw him with down the bar. Spike moved his drink and watched as Jeff slid down the bar.
Spike still listened. "That babe has decided to go on a date with me, and I don't want you two idiots to screw all up for me. GOT IT! I'm gonna try to nail her, so don't come hanging around!" he yelled at both of them.
"Yes sir." They both said.
"Hey Jay…at least tell us what was her name?" asked David.
"Faye Valentine." Spike's eyes became wide! Spike had the wanting to kick Jason's ass.
Spike got up and ran out the doors. He knocked Jason over.
"Hey watch it!" Spike didn't respond. He started his engine and flew back to the floating Bebop.
The doors opened loudly waking Ed and Ein up. Ed gave a big long yawn. She scratched her ear with her foot like a dog as Spike asked her where Faye was.
"Faye-Faye is in her room." She said as Spike went past her she fell backwards on her back and went to sleep.
A loud knocking came to Faye's door. Tow fast ones and two slow loud ones.
Faye opened the door and saw Spike. She was about to slam the door in his face, but he held it opened.
"Faye please I need to talk to you." He tried to keep the heavy door from closing.
"Well I don't want to talk to you. I'm worthless remember."
"Faye! Stop being a pain in the ass and let me talk to you!" Faye let the door go and he stepped inside. The door shut behind him.
"What?" Faye was in nothing but a towel.
"Jason!" he said. Faye's eyes got wide.
"What did you say?" she asked.
"Jason! He-he's gonna try to…you know…with you."
"How the hell do you even know him?" she demanded to know.
"I heard him and two other guys talking at Red house." He said.
"What happens to me is my business not yours!" She opened the door and shoved him out.
"Faye wait! I don't want anything bad to happen, and then I'm gonna have to come and save you." Faye pulled harder and the door finally shut.
"Breathe Faye…breathe…your not worthless." She reassured herself and got dressed.
At 6:30 she was ready to go. She walked down the hallway expecting to see Spike, but he wasn't there. She was looking very lovely; enough to even make Spike drop dead in his tracks. She flew back to the Red house and waited for Jason at the bar. What Spike said about him, replayed in her mind.
What if he was right? What if does try to have sex? And what two other men could he have been talking too? I better go! Faye stood up and walked away from the bar, but she ran into Jason.
"Wow, you look amazing." He said. Again that sparkle was in his smile.
"Oh, hi." Faye was once again lost in those stunning eyes.
"Shall we go?" he stuck his arm out to her and she walked with him. They sat down at a table and ordered their food…actually he ordered for her. A salad.
What the hell? Like that's gonna fill me up! A salad. I haven't eaten meat in over 3 weeks! Idiot!
She tuned in to what he was saying.
"And that's how I bought my first company." He laughed. Faye just smiled and turned her head. She was already bored. Spike came to her mind. She thought of how the first 3 weeks she had been there. He was like a big brother. She missed that Spike. But she remembered all the times he had gotten a kick of making fun of her, and their fight.
After their meal Faye started to walk back to her ship.
"Um Faye? Would you like to come back to my place?" he asked in a sly voice.
The truth came out of Faye. "Uh, you know…you're a really nice guy but I don't think this is gonna work out. I'm sorry." She tried to get back to her ship. Jason grabbed her arm.
"Now wait minute. I want to see you again. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on." His charm wasn't working. Faye was actually a little freaked out.
"I'm sorry that mushy stuff doesn't work on me. Now please let me go." He held on.
"Let me go." Faye punched him in the face and ran back to her ship. Jason just sat and watched. Faye started her engine and just flew away. She looked at him through the mirror and all he did was wave.
"See you soon babe." He walked away.
