Chapter 3: his fiancé

Sunrise is done.

Faye's already awake yet her eyes are still shut. She can hear a sound from the bathroom. The sound tells her that Spike is brushing his teeth, slowly the sound of the waters dropping hardly echoed into her ears.

'He's taking a shower'

And after a long moment the melodic sound finally stop.

She opened her eyes, sighed and got up from the bed.

The cracking of the bed broke the unbearable silence.

Her body is still aching but it felt so good for Faye. The feeling is native to her blood.

She carefully scans the room looking for a bathrobe and found one in front of the big glass window. She picked it up and realized that the rain had finally stopped.

The view outside was very suiting and relaxing. It looks so peaceful. There's still a trace of the rain, the raindrops garnishing the plants in the authentic garden, the rainbow is still appearing above the sky, the sun shining highly and the clear view of sky made the whole set of view amazing. It's like she had took a glimpse of heaven. If she hasn't felt the pain she'll think that she passed away.

'Beautiful.' She thought.

She opens the window, to get some fresh air.

Inhaling, exhaling.

"Hey." His voice matches the day.

"Nice place." Faye said out without looking back.

"Yea? Thanks…"

She wordlessly turned around to let him continue and revealed that he's naked up and down, it's just his towel hanging around in his neck. Her mouth dropped open a little and this reaction caused Spike to smirk.

"Nice Ps too." She smiles at him playfully.

Just like the other man she knew, same muscular body and beautiful abs. And the tiny 'lil drops of water that was garnishing his whole body reminds her the raindrops outside. What amazed her is the whole view of Spike. His green, curly hair falls down above his neck, and it was straight and the smirk painted in his face and oh yea, his distracting dick below. He looks so yummy.

Puzzled to what Faye is thinking he finally speaks, "Distracted?"

"Seriously, a bit." Faye responded with a giggle.

He managed to cover it with his towel and decided to dress his self.

He sighed exaggeratedly wanting her to hear it.

"Just in case you were concern, I'm going out. No need to wait for me coz I'll be gone for the whole day." Spike informs her while picking some clothes to wear.

"No problem, just give me a credit." Faye stands across to him letting him see her perfect breast.

"A credit?" he asks her pretending that the view of her boobs is not affecting him. She nodded in response and smiled seductively to him.

He furrowed his brow, "Where are you going to use it? And how are you going to pay it?" and stops to whatever he is doing to face her.

'Whatta purty eyes.'

"I'm going to use it for shopping and I'm going to pay it to you after I finally find a job."

"Oh I see."

"Umm, Faye can you kinda cook or clean or something?" Spike asked her.

"Nah, why are you asking?"

"I was just thinking that you might want to be my maid for a month then after…"

She cleared her throat to cut him out then says, "excuse me, a maid?"

"Yes, my maid. Don't worry Faye, after a month I'll be helping you to find a job and then when you had a job you'll no longer pay anything for me because you've been my maid." Spike explained.

"You're maid? Never Spike. I mean no thanks, maybe you should just help me find a job now then I'll pay you right away after I receive my monthly salary. With that it would be earlier to pay you." Faye explained in return.

"No Faye, can't your mind absorb what I'm talking about?"

"Of course I can what do you think of me? You want me to be your maid for a month when you can actually help me find a job right, mister Spiegel?"

"No." Answered Spike and Faye raised her eyebrow.

He sigh, "Ok let me explain it again for you, you had only two options. Let me explain your option first. You want me to help you find a job now then after a month you're going to pay me, now what matter about that is you'll have a problem in a place to stay to because last night you just told me that you're going to stay in my place until you finally find a job, now where the hell are you going to live when you haven't have any money, if you'll borrow a money from me for your stupid apartment it might take you so umm… according to my calculation it's a 5 months salary until you finally pay your whole credit from me.Now the second option is if you're going to work here for a month as my maid you'll have no problem in a place to stay to because you can stay here because you are my maid."

"What? You just made it complicated now I can't even understand any about it. Just get it straight to the point." Faye scratches her hair as she frown.

Spike sighed, "What I want you to know are in your choice it would take a month before you receive your salary with your expenses and with your apartment when you do not have any money."

"So?"

"So, who else would you ask for a credit for your expenses and for your apartment bills etc.?"

"Of course, You." Faye grinned.

"That's it Faye."

"You're credit would only get bigger. It might take a month"s" before you pay me. Now in my option you'll get a lot of advantage. Food, place, clothes, pass time all for free and of course a job or work or whatever you want to call that. Within a month you're already paid with an extra salary that you can use for your apartment. Then I'm going to help you find a job so you can get your ass out of here then never see me again!"Spike screamed the last sentence in dismaybut he still smiled plastically.

"oooh… now I got it. So you actually want to help me." Faye surprisingly asks.

"Thank god, finally she realized!" he murmured.

"Right?" Faye repeated.

"Exactly." Spike annoyingly responded with a sigh in relief.

"But Spike…" Faye whisper softly.

"What now?"

"I can't cook nor clean." Faye bit her lips Faye bowed her head trying to hide her face from Spike.

Spike giggle in a vindictive way.

"Now you can. It's your problem. Learn how to cook and clean."

"What?" Faye's mouth dropped wide open.

He checked the time and realized that he's already late, "oops... gotta go. When I get back I want this whole house clean." He noted while walking towards the door and then the place caught his attention, it seems that a twister just pass it. The bed was crumpled messy with their clothes traveling the whole room.

"Specially this room." He added.

He was about to open the door when he saw his brief hanging on the doorknob.

"Woah…" he laughed.

"Hey wait, Whatta bout my shopping thingies…"

"Oh don't worry about it, leave it all from me." Spike grinned proudly.

"If I didn't like it or if it didn't fit me you should buy me again." Faye dared.

"You won't and it won't. And just in case that you didn't satisfy me in cleaning my house you'll going to pay the clothes I bought, so if I were you I'll make sure I'll clean this house alright?"

"Hey Spi…" Spike shut her up by closing the door in front of her.

"Damn, now what?" Faye asked herself.

She saw the whole room and cleaning it would take a whole full day. She wants to surrender but she can't.

She got out from the room and the whole place devastated her.

It was too big. She even forgot that his house is actually UP AND DOWN, a duplex.

"How the hell am I going to clean his whole house!" she was drowning to its size.

She knew that her mission is impossible. But actually nothing is impossible to a girl like her. Really.

OOOOOOOOOOOO

"What's my schedule for today?" Spike asked.

"Well, you've got a meeting with Mister Reymond now and this afternoon you also need to meet the representatives from six states to vote for the company's glazed. After that Vicious wants to see you too for a rematch anytime you want."

"Rematch?" his secretary nodded.

"That's all?" Spike queried as he lit his cigar.

"You also need to sign these documents but as for now you must see Mister Reymond first and you've got a date with your fiancé, Miss Julia."

"With Julia?" His secretary nodded again.

"Can you just cancel it or something?" Spike continued as he reached the documents from his secretary.

"I've tried, but your dad scheduled that, so it is a must."

"A must?" Spike sighed.

"Yea, your fiancé kinda request that to your dad."

"Oh great, tsk, can you just pls. cancel my meeting with Mister Reymond instead and tell dad that he should vote for me for Julia's sake. You can leave now." Spike threw himself backwardly into his seat only to hurt his soared back.

'Aaww…' Faye's nail caused this. She's too sensitive and fragile and all she could do was hang on in his back each time he'll thrust.

"Damn, this hurts more than a gunshot."

'But feels amazing than victory.'

He closed his eyes and thinks of her to relaxed his self. Her moans, cries, and her funny bones sites, she'd laughed like a maniac when he tickles her through licking.

He smiled with the thought of her.

"Interesting." Spike opened his eyes. He quickly reached for his phone and dialed his number in his house to contact Faye.

"Hello..."

"Faye? It's me Spike."

"Oh, Spike, what made you call? Don't worry I'm cleaning your god damn house specially your room. Just don't forget to bring my clothes here tonight or else you'll be dead."

'Oh woman, too talkative.' Spike thought as he waited her to finish.

"Good, how's the ankle of my girl there huh?" Spike converted his voice into a cute one.

Faye felt herself blushed without any thought of reasons. She just blushed.

Spike quickly added, "Faye, clean that place next time and just come with me. We'll go shopping. I'm here at Lyrqua. Know that place?"

"Jeez, thanks. Oh Yea, who doesn't anyway? And why are you there?" she sounds surprised.

"I'm here because I was forced to be here. This is my father's stupid company. Don't be late I won't wait." with that he quickly hung up.

"Hey, Spike, wait!"

OOOOOOOOOOOO

"I can't wait." Spike said.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

After he called, Faye was cheering in joy. She haven't clean the house yet nor his room. She was saved by the bell. He just said clean it next time.

She fancily walks upstairs and decided to take a tour first in his house.

"Don't be late. I won't wait." She imitated Spike.

"Great. I'll be late of course. You must wait."

She opened the door of the unknown room and revealed an empty space. It's just a cream carpet. That's all. It is smaller than the other. She sat on the ground thinking that she had no choice but to wear his provocative yellow suit again to a formal place like, Lyrqua.

"It's not that bad anyway."

She got up and another door caught her attention.

"Another door inside a room? Cool."

She open it again, it looks like a mirror house. The whole room was embedded with a mirror. The walls, the ceiling, even the floor.

It looks so fragile but she was wrong.

There's a lot of painting too hanging in the wall which covered the mirror, a blonde girl caught her attention. She was naked, her eyes were deep blue, and it looks like a portrait of angel. But when she gets closer she knew that it was very seductive.

There's also a manlike demon painting, a gun that was surrounded by a chains with the view of magma and the rest seemed to be an abstract painting that she can't understand.

There's also a red and black gloves use for boxing buried on the floor. It was visible because the floor was a glasslike mirror. There's another portrait buried again. A picture of Spike where he looks younger, he looks so cocky and happy there and to not far away was a group picture, a strange raven guy with a katana, behind him was Spike without his grin that made him looks scary with a gun pointed to her, and between them was the blonde girl. She was holding a red rose with her brilliant smile.

Suddenly Faye's mind drifted. She doesn't know but she feels a vindictive passion with the woman.

'Wait, is she also the girl in the painting?'

The phone of Spike started to ring again. Spike left a voice message but she also heard it.

"Faye, are you still there? Don't be so wimp hurry up." Spike demanded.

'Spike. Spike Spiegel. Who are you?' She seriously wondered.

She thought that everything was a sudden. Both of them are strangers to each other. She tried to shove her thoughts away.

"Smile, Faye Valentine. I should get going. Who knows maybe he's serious that he won't wait."

She finally took a bath and dressed herself. No make up and no nail polish.

She feels so incomplete.

'I guess I got a lot of things to buy.'

Getting ready she left the house and head at the Lyrqua.

OOOOOOOO

Faye arrived in Lyrqua, she felt a lot of eyes staring at her and a lot of eyes glaring too. She can't blame them though she was showing a lot of skin with her suit. But she had no choice.

'Just be confident.'

"Hey, where can I find Spike?" Faye asked the girl in the front desk.

"Mister Spiegel?" Faye nodded.

"You must be Faye Valentine." The girl predicted.

"Yea, where is he anyway." She lit her cigar at least it could make her feel better.

"He said that he'll meet you in the rooftop." The girl smiled to her but Faye knew that it was a plastic smile. She can tell that the girl hated her.

"Thanks... By the way, please don't smile at me. You remind me the lowlife dogs I can see in the streets."

The girl's mouth dropped open and glared at her once again.

Behind Faye was the blonde girl. She stopped for awhile in the front desk, "Who's that whore?" she suspiciously asked.

"Good Afternoon Mem, oh that lady's name's Faye. She got a meeting with your fiancé."

"Damn Spike, rooftop's so far for my poor ankle." Faye murmured as she pressed the elevator's button. The door was about to closed when someone stopped it.

Faye eyes widen a bit, trying to remember the person who got in.

She had been staring at her for a moment.

"What are you staring at?" the voice was flat, and it send shivers to Faye.

"Nothing," Faye responded, she stole a one last glance to her.

'She's the girl in Spike's extra room.'

She feels insecure, she's taller than her. And her portrait was in Spike's room.

'Damn, don't try to tell me that she'll be meeting him too.'

Getting a bit tense, she lit another cigar.

Julia coughed a little.

"Don't Smoke here." She commanded.

Faye frowned and exhaled the smoke in front of Julia and smiled.

"Ooops, sorry." Faye childishly smiles. She hates this blonde lady.

The elevator opened again and another man entered the elevator.

"Julia." The man grinned.

'He reminds me of Spike. Weird.' Faye thought.

"Oh, Shin." Julia grinned back.

'So her name's Julia.'

Shin tilts his head and saw Faye, he gently smiled and she smiled back too. Julia gave Faye a disgust look.

The elevator opened again. "Oh, gotta go." He smiled to Faye once again then left.

"I think he likes me." Faye said to Julia.

Julia first gave her another disgusting look, "Wish it. Don't be feeling." Julia chuckled.

Faye's reaction was something like: 'Oh'

Since Faye had been asked to stop smoking he decided to chew a gum instead.

"Want some?"

"No." Julia replied without looking at her.

"Fine," Faye started to chew it playfully then started to pop it. She knew that the pop sound annoys the rude, blonde lady.

The elevator opened again and Faye got out as well as Julia.

"Excuse me," Julia stopped Faye by holding her in her shoulders.

"What, Miss Smoke-hater?" Faye smirked.

Julia rolled her eyes then smiled.

"You know, you are a waste of my time." Faye said, laying her cards.

They captured each other's eyes, like a telepathic talk of 'get away from him.'

"Sorry then." Julia calmly replied, leaving a confused Faye.

"Sorry then? Yea, right" Faye whispered.

OOOOOOOOOOO

"Where's Spike?"

"He's in a meeting ma'am."

"Is that so? I'll wait in his office then."

"But…"

"But, But what Ken? Hello as if I didn't know that you're lying. Now tell me where is he?"

"I told you ma'am, he's in a meeting." Ken plainly replied.

Julia wrinkled her nose as she shook her head and smiled at ken with an aura of we'll see then contact Spike.

OOOOOOO

"Now where is he?" Faye searched for Spike, there, here and then,

"Hey." She heard Spike's voice then turned into him.

"What made you thought of meeting you here?" Faye kept on chewing her bubblegum.

"What's the matter here?"

"Spike, I could just simply meet you in your office but why here?"

"Hmmm, let's just say that I'm just hiding from a daredevil, Faye." Spike planted his lips to her, transferring Faye's chewing gum to his mouth. He started chewing it as his cellphone started to ring.

He sighed when he red Julia's name.

"Julia," Spike started.

Julia? Faye thoughts started to form. 'How is she related to Spike?'

"Sorry but I can't meet you now." Spike quickly hangs up his phone.

"Faye, where do you want to shop?" Spike put his arm to her shoulders, keeping her.

"Spike, how are you related to Julia?"

"Why are you asking, you're jealous?" Spike started to be suspicious, she threw the chewing gum away to kiss Faye's forehead as he started to drag her.

Faye stopped walking, "I just met her awhile ago and seen her portrait inside your extra room." Faye confessed.

"So?"

"She's bothering me. I mean we barely even know each other, Spike is she…"

"She's a very important person in our business Faye. That's all." Spike honestly speaks.

"Then, c'mon let's go." Faye cheered herself.

"And where are you going to bring him?" A man with his late fifties made them both stop smiling. Julia caught Faye's attention as the man caught Spike's attention.

The man and Spike stared into each other. Both warned.

"Dad"

'Dad? Did He just call him DAD?'

"How disrespectful it is to leave your fiancé for a girl like her?"

'Fiancé, His… fiancé?'

The unexpected is not too far away.
