Author's Notes: Damn, I am really bad at updating lately. I do not know what's up with me. Anyways, I do not own CB at all. 

Faye contently sat on the couch and awaited for Spike to emerge from the bathroom. She listened as the shower turned off and decided she should get her stuff together for her very unpleasant shower that was ahead of her.

She got up and headed into her room and collected her garments of clothing and then exited her room. She walked to the bathroom and leaned against the wall waiting for Spike to exit.

After a good 5 minutes of waiting and practically picking off all of her nail polish Faye sighed and knocked on the bathroom door.

"Spike what in heavens name are you doing in there?" Faye yelled through the door.

"Just give me a second..." Spike said as you could hear rummaging.

Faye shook her head and leaned back into her place on the wall, "God you're taking longer than I do..." Faye said as she picked at a hangnail.

'Damn I should file this before I completely rip it off...' Faye thought to herself but didn't notice Spike had now opened the bathroom door and was looking at her curiously.

"You okay?" Spike asked concerned.

Faye looked up surprised, since she didn't even hear the door open or anything, "Yeah I'm fine..." Faye said as she pushed herself away from the wall and walked past Spike into the bathroom.

"You better not have used all of the hot water or I will be officially pissed off." Faye said as she pushed Spike out and then tossed the remains of his clothes at him then shutting the door.

"Stupid lunk head..." Faye muttered to herself as she began to take off her sleepwear. She tossed them onto the ground and then walked to the shower and made sure the water was just right.

'Wow he actually left me a little bit...how thoughtful.' Faye thought to herself sarcastically and smiled.

She stepped in and started right away with cleaning herself since she knew that the hot water wouldn't last very long.

She poured some shampoo into her hand and began massaging her head, and then rinsed it out. She then proceeded to put maybe the size of a quarter amount of conditioner into her palm and then rubbed it thoroughly in her hair. Rinsing that out she took the soap and washed her face of the remaining make up.

'Just in time...' she thought to herself as she felt the water slightly get colder and then gradually got colder.

Sighing she finished washing and then shut the water off before it could possibly get any colder. She stuck her hand out and reached for a towel, wrapping herself in it she got out of the shower and went over to the mirror.

Wiping the mirror of the fog, she reached for another towel and dried off her hair somewhat. She wiped off her body and then reached for her clothes and began dressing herself.

When she was finished she picked up her clothes on the ground and opened the bathroom door. She left the bathroom and headed for her room, on her way she noticed Spike was not at his original spot on the couch.

Shrugging it off she continued to her room, opening the door she threw her clothes onto her bed and then turned back around to the bathroom so she could dry her hair.

Looking to her side again she still saw that Spike had not returned to his spot, getting curious she went toward his room instead.

As she neared it she saw that the door was shut, and it was rarely shut anymore. Slowly she knocked and waited for a response. When none came she opened the door and peaked her head in and noticed Spike was laying on his bed with his eyes shut.

'What the hell is he doing? Meditating?' Faye thought to herself as she continued to stare.

"What do you want?" Spike asked never opening his eyes.

"Um, nothing just bored." Faye said trying to sound like she could give 2 shits what he was really up to.

"Yeah right." Spike said as a smile formed on his lips.

"Pft, please don't be too conceited now." Faye said as she bit on her bottom lip nervously.

'Why am I nervous? It's not like we never get into these little sarcastic fights.' Faye thought to herself.

Spike opened one eye and looked at Faye as she continued to stare at him. "You can come in if you want to." Spike said and then closed his eye once more.

"No I don't want to barge in on your little nap or whatever the hell you're doing." Faye said as she began to close his door.

"No, really it's alright. I'm not doing anything special, you weren't really interrupting me." Spike said as he opened his eyes and sat up straight.

Faye shrugged and walked into his room. She went over and grabbed a chair and sat down on the side of him.

"So when do you think we'll hear of Sylvia again?" Faye asked Spike.

"How should I know?" Spike said as he dug his hand into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette.

Faye rolled her eyes and sighed, "You're so stubborn and lunk headed." She said aloud.

"Yeah, and you're stubborn and a bitch too." Spike said as he pulled out his Zippo and lit his cigarette.

"I am not a bitch, not all the time." Faye said a little hurt actually.

Spike smiled at her and brought a hand up to her cheek, "No not all the time that is." He said as he ran his thumb over her cheek.

Faye merely sat there and let him do what he wanted. He could probably do what he pleased with her; he had that much control over her. Well not all the time, just...at times you know.

A small smile played over her lips as Spike grabbed Faye's arm and pulled her into him as he smoked his cigarette and one arm lazily around her.

Yeah in this moment she was happy.

But out on the dock, from a far blonde hair blew in the wind.

"We shall meet again soon Miss Valentine, very soon." Sylvia said as she chuckled to herself a bit and stalked off back into the alleyway.
