Sunshine - Ummm... No, Faith isn't crushing on Kelly. Faith's life is shit - so no direction is pretty much a given. Read: She's on the run from the law for escaping jail, being a convicted murder. Faith/Sam hookup - They've been giving each other the eye for a few chapters now, and remember the pheremone overflow that's been happening with Kelly/Buffy? Hope you're reading the whole story and not just skippng to the sex scenes - it might help! LOL :)

Dee - What have I told you about those fingers? LOL

Word - some naughties - will probably work on more in the future - but something's gonna happen...and I'm not tellin'!

Chapter 36

Faith slowly comes to, realizing she's laying across Sam and that they had, had a very intense sex marathon last night and early this morning, thanks to Buffy and Kelly.

Sam wakes up, feeling Faith moving off her. Rubbing her eyes she looks blearily at the slayer. "Why are you getting up? You gotta still be tired."

Faith shakes her head. "I think I heard somethin'." She mumbles, not looking at the woman. Feeling like she's taken advantage of her, Faith quickly stands up.

Sam shakes her head trying to figure out what's wrong. "Faith?"

"Look. I'm sorry for takin' advantage of you last night." Faith mumbles, still not looking at Sam while dressing.

"Damn it, Faith!" Sam stands, grasping the slayer, making her face her. "You didn't take advantage of fucking no one. I offered, and I fucking wanted it. Even when we weren't working with those two's help, I wanted you."

Sam reaches down and pulls on her jeans and shirt from the night before. Leaving a stunned Faith standing in the room alone.

Sam bitches as she quickly trots down the stairs, heading towards the kitchen, she hears a knock on the door, quickly changing directions she opens the door, looking at the Military Courier, confused.

"Yes, I have a package for a Miss Faith Lehane." The man stood at attention. "Are you her?"

"No, Sergeant I ain't fucking Faith." Sam growls. "Faith, you got a fucking package." She yells before turning and leaving the man standing in the doorway heading into the kitchen to fix coffee.

Faith shakes herself out of her stupor when she hears Sam yelling at her from downstairs. Quickly running down the steps, she stares at the Courier confused. "You have a package for me?"

"Are you Miss Faith Lehane?" at Faith's nod, the Sergeant hands her the clipboard and pen. "Please sign on the line, Miss Lehane."

Faith quickly signs her name frowning.

"Here you go, Miss. Have a wonderful day." He hands her the thick envelope, tips his cover at the woman and quickly leaves.

Faith looks at the envelope, shaking her head before closing the door. Looking at the package and then looking at the kitchen, where Sam disappeared, Faith sighs. Quickly walking into the kitchen, she sits down at the island, placing the envelope in front of her, watching Sam for a few minutes grinding the coffee beans and getting the coffee pot running.

Sam stiffens slightly, when she hears Faith sit down behind her. Quickly getting the coffee brewing, she slowly turns around, looking at Faith with no expression on her face.

"I'm sorry." Faith looks up sincerely at the woman. "I fucked up this morning."

Sam closes her eyes and shakes her head. "You didn't. Maybe I was hoping that there might be something more than a one night stand. It is what it is." Sam turns to the refrigerator grabbing out milk, fixing herself a bowl of cereal.

Feeling like shit, Faith growls. "Damn, it. You don't know me, Sam. I'm a fucking murderer and escaped convict. You don't wanna have nothin' to do with me. They'll probably throw you in the stockade just for knowing me."

"You don't make my decisions for me, Faith." Sam states quietly. "Kelly likes you and trusts you. That's good enough for me."

"Fuck." Faith mutters, ripping into the envelope, pulling the papers out, she reads the cover letter, getting more and more confused. Quickly flipping through the Presidential Pardon, a complete set of identification papers, Faith sits there stunned staring at the paperwork. It finally hits her, all Kelly's comments last night. "God damn, fucking bitch!" Faith growls dropping the papers and running up the stairs.

Sam looks up stunned as Faith literally runs out of the kitchen. Grabbing the top letter on the pile the slayer left lying, Sam snickers and then starts laughing. "Kelly, you are a complete nut job." Throwing the paper back down, Sam finishes eating her bowl of cereal and drinking her coffee, snorting out a laugh occasionally.

AAAAAA

Faith runs in the open bedroom door, stopping dead in her tracks as she looks at the bed with a naked Buffy lying on top of Kelly, both women still asleep. Shaking her head, she strides to the bed, shaking Kelly's shoulder to wake her up.

Kelly shakes her head, not opening her eyes. "Leave me the fuck alone. Sleeping." She bitches, wrapping her arms around Buffy tightly, shifting and groaning. "Oh, fuck! Buffy, honey? Can you pull out?"

Faith's eyes open wide as she looks down and sees that Buffy's wearing a harness. "Oh, shit."

Buffy jerks awake, not realizing Faith's in the room. "What?" she grumbles looking down at Kelly.

"Pull out, baby." Kelly mutters quietly. "It's getting uncomfortable."

"Sorry." Buffy eases slowly out of her lover, reaching down to release the buckles and pulling the straps out before easing it out from inside her, groaning. Dropping it off the side of the bed, she actually looks up and sees Faith standing there.

"Damn, Faith!" Buffy yells looking at the slayer. "What the fuck are you doing in here?"

Kelly jerks awake, finally opening her eyes. "Easy, babe." She reaches out, running her hand down Buffy's side. "I have a feeling a package arrived and she either came up here to thank me or kick my ass."

"Oh, yeah. Forgot about that." Buffy grumbles before flopping down face first in the bed beside Kelly. "I'm going back to sleep."

Kelly smiles and shakes her head, running her hands over her face. Smelling coffee, she grins. Standing up and stretching she looks at Faith. "You still in here?"

Faith's just standing there in shock. First of all, seeing the size of that appendage that Buffy had used on Kelly, then seeing both women completely naked and the fact that Buffy, after the initial burst of being pissed, didn't seem to care that she was in the room. "She actually used that thing on you?" Faith points towards the item in question.

Kelly looks down and smirks. "Oh, yeah. And she uses it well." Shaking her head, walking over to the dresser, she grabs out a tank top and shorts, dressing quickly. Turning around, she realizes Buffy didn't pull the covers up. Pulling the sheet over Buffy's body, she leans down and places a kiss on her cheek. "I love you." Kelly chuckles as she hears something that almost sounds like I love you too come from her.

Seeing Faith still standing there looking down at the dildo, Kelly places a hand on each shoulder and gently turns her towards the bedroom door. "Let's go to the kitchen."

Making a pit stop in the bathroom, Kelly quickly heads downstairs. Seeing Sam, and noticing she seems upset, she raises an eyebrow. "Sam?"

Sam looks up at Kelly and shakes her head. "Not now."

Nodding her head in acceptance, Kelly quickly fills her coffee cup and blows on it before taking a sip. Watching Faith, Kelly realizes that the woman is looking at Sam with pain in her eyes. 'Damn. Mine and Buffy's little deal must have fucked these two up. Shit.' Kelly thinks to herself, realizing what must have happened.

"Guys, I'm really sorry about last night." Kelly starts before she's interrupted by Sam.

"It isn't your fault, Brig. It was something I was wanting, but obviously wasn't something she wanted." Sam quickly leaves.

"FUCK!" Faith yells after Sam leaves the kitchen. Burying her face in her hands, Faith shakes her head.

Kelly stands there in shock looking at Faith.

"Stretch, I'm gonna need your help. And I really hate to say this after you got me pardoned." Faith states quietly, finally looking up at the woman. "I fucked up with Sam. As you can tell, she thinks I don't like her. I felt guilty when I woke up this morning, like I had taken advantage of her and it kind of snow balled from there." Faith stops looking down, running her finger over the Presidential Seal on her pardon. "Can you maybe get her to at least talk to me?" Faith looks up with sad eyes. "I can't stand her being mad at me. Even if she doesn't want to have anything to do with me, I can deal. But I don't want her mad."

Filling her coffee cup again, Kelly contemplates the slayer. "You just want me to have her talk to you. You don't want me to plead your case?"

"Nah. I fucked it up and I want the chance to try and set it right. If you talk to her, I know she'll listen to you, but…" Faith looks up to the tall woman. "I can't ask you to fix it for me."

Tilting her head, silently contemplating the woman, Kelly nods her head. "I'll see if I can get her to talk to you. Do you want to do that now, or give her time to cool off?"

Faith looks out the kitchen doorway, before looking back at Kelly. "What do you suggest?"

"Let her cool off for an hour or two." Kelly quietly states before walking over to the slayer. "I want to ask you, again. Do you like her as a friend, or do you want more?"

Faith swallows, and tears slowly fills her eyes. "Now that you gave me my life back? I want something more."

"That's all I need to know." Kelly smiles softly down at the slayer. "You going to stick around?"

Faith smiles sadly. "If you'll have me."

"Consider this home." Kelly leans down placing a kiss on top of the slayer's head. "Sis." Quickly walking out of the room, heading upstairs.

Faith sits there surprised. Slowly a soft smile works across her face. "I have a family." She whispers quietly to the empty room, feeling the ice around her heart crack wide open.

AAAAAAAAAA

Kelly heads towards their bedroom, when she stops outside Dawn's room. "Oh, fuck no." Kelly whispers walking in the room and shutting the door behind her.

"You're not leaving." Kelly states quietly, leaning against the bedroom door.

Sam jumps slightly looking up from where she's throwing her clothes in her bag. "You ain't fucking stopping me."

"Yes, I am." Kelly crosses her arms.

"It'll be best if I leave, Kelly." Sam frowns looking at her gear. "She isn't interested, and I can head out. They can always use me on some ops mission."

"See, that's where you're wrong." Kelly walks over to Sam. "Sit down."

Sam shakes her head but sits down on the edge of the bed.

"She does care for you, Sam. She's had a shit life, not ever having anyone care for her and the few times she's let herself feel something they've shit on her. And until roughly half an hour ago, she didn't think she had a life to look forward too." Kelly stops looking at Sam.

Sam looks up watching Kelly.

"As a favor to me, please let her get her say in. And try and be as understanding with her as you were with another woman that had a shit life." Kelly quietly whispers.

Sam feels a tear slide down her cheek. "Kelly…" Stopping and closing her eyes, Sam takes a deep breath. "I need to get with Riley and tell him I definitely want a divorce no matter what happens."

"Whatever you need, let me know." Kelly smiles softly before heading towards the door. "By the way, I know you're ready to re-up for your next tour. You going to?"

"Don't know." Sam looks down at her hands. "If I stay in for eight more years, I can retire with full benefits."

"Well, if you don't want to stay in, I'm sure I'll be looking into some kind of business or another. You always have a job." Kelly grins. "Hell, since the only bars in town seem to be the Bronze and Willie's, maybe I'll open up another one."

Laughing slightly at the idea, Sam shakes her head. "You don't even drink."

"Nope, I don't. I could have you manage the place, have Faith either tend bar or be the bouncer. Of course, that's only if you two are at least friends by then." Kelly stops and gets serious for a second. "She does care for you, Sam. More than she realizes. But she's scared. More than anything, she can't stand the thought of you being mad at her. Please give her a chance. Hell, you might need to give her a hundred chances, but she'll be worth it."

Sam nods her head and smiles. "I'll take your words to heart, Kelly. Thank you."

"No problem. Now I need to see if my sexy little girlfriend is awake." Kelly smirks.

Sam laughs. "Well, I can tell you for a little bit of nothing, she does look nice. Very evenly proportioned."

Kelly eyeballs Sam. "And how do you know all this?"

Laughing, Sam shakes her head. "Last night we weren't exactly circumspect as we were trying to get ready for you and Faith. Buffy grabbed some vibrators and harness' along with other items out for me to have in between stripping to get ready for you."

"Makes sense. What all did you use? I'll need to make a list and go buy more." Kelly grins.

"How about I go with you and buy you the replacements?" Sam offers.

"You just want to buy your own toys." Kelly smirks opening the door.

"Maybe." Sam offers quietly before chuckling. "And maybe I should find Faith and offer her an apology for being such a bitch to her this morning."

"Do what you think you need to." Kelly looks at Sam. "Thank you, for everything."

"Thank you, Kelly." Sam offers quietly watching Kelly leave the room.

AAAAAAAAAA

Kelly smiles at Buffy as she pulls the sheet down off her lover. Starting at her ankles, Kelly starts licking up Buffy's legs. Paying special attention to the tender skin behind her knees, Kelly smirks as she hears Buffy groaning. Gently shifting her lovers legs apart, and easing her body between Buffy's thighs, Kelly grins as she licks up one glorious cheek before licking up the other one. Feeling Buffy push against her mouth, Kelly grins.

"I know you're awake." Kelly murmurs before licking strongly across the bottom of Buffy's cheek, where it meets her thigh.

Buffy chuckles quietly. "Yeah, but I was kind of wondering what all you would get up to, if you thought I was still asleep."

"Did you already forget waking up last week, with me buried between your oh so delicious thighs, and licking away?" Kelly smirks before nipping at the skin in front of her.

"Oh, no. I didn't forget that at all. I'm kind of curious when you might do that again." Buffy grins, then groans loudly, pushing her ass into Kelly's mouth.

Kelly grins, licking strongly around the tight rosebud, before gently easing one finger, generously lubed, in her lover. Nipping at the cheek under her mouth, Kelly smirks as Buffy pushes back hard against her finger.

Buffy growls lowly, shifting up onto her hands and knees, rocking back hard into Kelly's finger. "Give me more."

Shifting with her lover, Kelly eases a second finger in, before slowly starting an easy in and out rhythm.

Buffy groans, pushing back hard against Kelly's fingers. "Stop with the prissy shit, Kelly." Buffy mutters loudly.

"You want it?" Kelly growls, reaching under the slayer with her other hand, pinching roughly at Buffy's nipple.

"Oh, Fuck!" Buffy groans pushing hard into her lover.

Easing a third finger in and starting a harder rhythm, Kelly runs her hand down from the breast she was toying with to Buffy's clit, rubbing lightly.

"Feels good." Buffy whimpers, rocking hard against Kelly.

Kelly growls lightly. "Want another one?"

"Do it." Buffy wiggles her ass temptingly and cries out as Kelly simultaneously inserts the fourth finger in her and pinches her clit roughly, making her come. Feeling her body clenching with pleasure, Buffy shoves hard against Kelly, shaking and crying at the strength of her release.

Kelly leans over Buffy, kissing her back while holding her fingers still inside the slayer. Grunting at the pain of her lover clasping her fingers, Kelly thanks God for the power sharing, or all her fingers would probably be broken.

Buffy finally collapses back on the bed, groaning as Kelly's fingers slip out.

Kelly smiles at her lover after she collapses. Not able to resist, Kelly gently eases her body over Buffy, laying her upper body over Buffy' back, kissing and nipping at her neck.

"Damn." Buffy mutters out, her body clenching strongly.

Kelly chuckles quietly. "Good for you?"

"Oh, definitely." Buffy grins, finally catching her breath. "So, did Faith enjoy the free show this morning?" Buffy smirks.

"I'm not even sure she comprehended the fact that we were naked." Kelly smiles slightly before placing a kiss on Buffy's shoulder blade.

"Oh, I'm sure she noticed we were naked. We are talking about Faith here." Buffy hums quietly as Kelly shifts to her side and starts running her hand up and down her back.

"Oh, I'm sure she noticed it. I just don't think she actually quite comprehended the fact. She seemed stuck on another piece of information, instead." Kelly lightly tickles Buffy's side.

"What was she stuck on?" Buffy giggles slightly squirming.

"The fact that you fucked me with the DFH." Kelly smirks.

"DFH?" Buffy questions.

"Dildo From Hell." Kelly explains leaning down and nipping at the slayer's shoulder. "I love you."

Rolling over to face her lover, Buffy smiles softly. "I love you too, babe." Before kissing her deeply.

"Mmmm." Kelly moans into the kiss. As Buffy pulls away, Kelly shifts to lay on her back, pulling her lover on top of her.

Buffy giggles and shifts around until she's comfortable. Buffy sighs as Kelly runs her hands up and down her back. Looking over at the clock she realizes it's earlier than she had thought. "Hmm. Only ten o'clock. I thought it would be closer to noon."

"Hungry?" Kelly asks quietly, running her fingertips down Buffy's spine lightly.

"I won't turn down food." Buffy smirks, kissing Kelly's breast, while playing with the other one.

"And we probably should call Tara to let her know everything is alright." Kelly frowns slightly before reaching over to the nightstand grabbing her cell phone.

Buffy smiles watching Kelly. "Yeah, you should probably do that now. She might be worried."

"Hey, Sis… No, everything is okay now. For some reason the magic hit quick….I don't know, but I sure as hell hope it finishes soon. I'd hate to have something like that happen in the middle of the mall or something." Kelly chuckles. "But I have this gut feeling that last night might be the end of it. If not, it'll be damn close." Kelly grins as Buffy starts nipping at her breast that she had been kissing. "Oh, just some major mojo exchange. I have a feeling that tweed man is going to need new glasses." Kelly covers the mouthpiece, groaning lightly.

Buffy looks up, grinning. "Am I bothering you?"

"Behave." Kelly mutters before uncovering the mouth piece. "Yeah, I felt the magic open up completely. And unless I'm mistaken, Buffy had an unlocking of the rest of her slayer powers."

Buffy grins. "You think? I feel the power flowing through me like you wouldn't believe."

Kelly smirks. "Well, if you want to, tell Dawn she can come home. Is Giles at the Magic Box?…Well, thanks for taking the two of them in. I'm going to teach Buffy the incantation today, just in case…Well, I would prefer not to make anyone else have the problems I caused last night…I know it isn't my fault, but it still happened. I'll talk to you later. Do you need anything? We're going out shopping today, if you want to come with?" Chuckling quietly, Kelly shakes her head. "No, you two have a wonderful Christmas break. When you feel up to it, give us a call. Love you." Kelly grins as she disconnects the phone.

"Willow still sucking up?" Buffy chuckles as she nips her way down to Kelly's abdomen.

"Yep." Kelly grins before groaning in pleasure. "I thought you were hungry."

Buffy looks up and grins wickedly. "I am." She slides further down, licking across her lover's bald mound. "I can't believe the pants you wore last night." Nipping lightly, making Kelly push up into her mouth, Buffy chuckles. "If they were another inch lower, this…" Buffy trails off licking over Kelly's swelling muscle. "Would be on display."

Jerking up as Buffy licks across her, Kelly groans before chuckling. "You wanted me showing skin. Oh, God! Yeah." Kelly growls the last as Buffy sucks herinto her mouth powerfully. "Use those slayer powers, baby."

Buffy grins at her lovers words, before pulling away for a second. "You want me to use my slayer powers here?"

"Oh, yeah." Kelly growls, rocking her hips.

Buffy dives in sucking her lovers swollen nubin her mouth stronger than she ever had before and flicks her tongue so fast it makes a hummingbird wings look like they are moving in slow motion.

Kelly arches up screaming Buffy's name as she explodes in the slayer's mouth, coming continuously as Buffy keeps up her ministrations. Bucking hard, Kelly jerks repeatedly grunting, unable to say anything.

Buffy groans as her lover continues coming, wrapping her arms around Kelly's legs to keep hold as Kelly bucks harder and faster. Flicking her tongue continuously, Buffy keeps it up for what seems like forever, with Kelly still coming until she lets up, letting go of her lover.

As Kelly collapses, Buffy crawls up on top of her lover kissing her deeply. Running her hands through her short hair, Buffy smirks feeling the sweat soaked hair. "That what you wanted?"

"Oh, fuck." Kelly hoarsely whispers as her clit continues twitching, sending shocks through her body.

Buffy chuckles. "Well, you can consider that a little experiment."

"What?" Kelly groans, not understanding.

"No magic." Buffy grins. "Now, I would think with that happening, there would be some kind of magic exchange, wouldn't you?"

Kelly frowns thinking about it, then chuckles quietly. "You may be right. Of course, we'll have to spend hours and hours experimenting to make sure."

Buffy laughs. "Oh, the horror." Buffy leans down kissing her lover again. "I wanted to see, I know it was bothering you more than you wanted me to know."

"Thank you, babe." Kelly murmurs, smiling softly. "I love you."

Buffy smiles, happy with herself. "You know, I would love to just spend all day cuddled up with you in bed."

"You're not the only one." Kelly murmurs. "But I need to see how my damage control is going and I promised the other ladies of the house that I'd take them shopping."

Buffy groans, then something Kelly said registers. "What damage control?"

Kelly sighs quietly. "Faith and Sam. From the little bit I was told, Faith freaked out this morning and felt guilty as hell. Sam took it that Faith didn't like her and was packing up ready to leave. I talked her out of leaving, and asked her to give Faith a chance to explain."

"Damn." Buffy mutters.

"The thing is, Faith really likes Sam." Kelly runs her hand through Buffy's hair. "She's keeping herself distanced from people on purpose. Now that she has a life to look forward too, I think she has a damn good chance of breaking out of her shell."

"Since she opened up to you last night, now being pardoned. I'll be willing to bet she'll more than break out of her shell. I think she'll become the woman she was meant to be." Buffy smiles softly. "Let's go take a shower and get dressed. We need to stop and get a newspaper, see what houses are for sale."

Kelly smirks at her lover who already was over at the dresser grabbing clothes. "Am I allowed to look at these places with you? Or are you going to surprise me?"

Buffy raises an eyebrow and looks her lover up and down. "Haven't decided yet. I might be amendable to bribery."

Chuckling at her lover, Kelly hops off the bed and reaches in the closet grabbing a shirt and jeans, before joining Buffy over at the dresser, grabbing a bra and socks. "I just might try it, then."

Starting towards the door, Buffy growls. "Kelly?"

Kelly turns looking at her. "What?"

"Clothes." Buffy looks her up and down. "At least put a robe on."

"Why? Everyone that's in the house has seen what I got. It isn't that big a deal." Kelly shrugs opening the door, heading to the bathroom, making Buffy yell at her.

"Kelly I'm going to kick your ass!" Buffy yells, before laughing quietly and shaking her head. "Can't beat them, join them." She decides following her lover, naked through the hallway into the bathroom.

AAAAAAAAA

After Kelly leaves, Sam slowly unpacks and puts her clothes away. Shaking her head, she walks into the other bedroom, grabbing up items that had been used the night before, she takes them to the bathroom, cleaning them before putting them in her gear bag.

Walking back to Giles' bedroom, she starts stripping the bed.

AAAAAAAAA

Faith walks to the door of the bedroom, watching Sam strip the bed. "Can we talk?" Faith whispers.

Sam stiffens before she closes her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she nods her head. "If you want."

Faith steps quietly in the room and shuts the door gently behind her. Leaning against the door, she looks at Sam's back. "Thank you for last night."

Sam shakes her head. "No thanks necessary." Yanking the sheets down she throws them in a pile on the floor before grabbing fresh sheets to make the bed.

Faith sighs deeply. Slowly walking to the slightly taller woman, she places her hand on a tense shoulder. "Yes it is." Slowly turning Sam around, Faith looks in her eyes. "And you weren't the only one that wanted it." Faith admits quietly.

Sam frowns at Faith. "Then why the shit with this morning?"

Faith sits down on the edge of the bed, thinking. "I ain't used to having anyone, Sam." Faith glances up making eye contact with the woman, before looking back down at the floor. "I haven't ever had a life. As far as I was aware, I would need to be heading out again in a weeks time dodging the cops."

Sam finally relaxes and sits down beside the woman. "Faith, you don't have to worry about that now."

"I know." Faith's lips twitch. "Kelly's fuckin' crazy."

Sam nods her head smiling. "She is that. She won't argue the point, either if asked." Sam looks sideways at Faith. "Do you want to try this you and me thing? Or would you rather just try being friends?"

Faith glances up briefly before looking back down. "I ain't ever had a real relationship."

Sam watches the woman. "Do you want to try?"

Faith looks up into Sam's gentle gaze and nods her head. "Just to let you know, I'll probably fuck up."

Sam chuckles slightly. "It happens. We all do. Plus, I'm on leave for the next two weeks. I'll have to go back to work after that."

Faith smiles hesitantly. "Then there's the fact you're married."

"Not for long." Sam mutters shaking her head. "I need to call Riley and talk to him."

"You ain't doin' that because of this, are you?" Faith asks worriedly glancing down at the bed before looking up at Sam.

"No. This just makes me want to get it done faster." Sam smiles gently. "I know last night was kind of rough and tumble and quick…" Trailing off she looks down at the slayer's lips. "But I was wondering, if maybe I could kiss you properly without all the extra?"

Faith smiles a genuine, happy smile and chuckles quietly. "I think I would like that."

"I hope so." Sam murmurs before brushing her lips over the slayers gently. Moaning as Faith sneaks her tongue out to run over her lips before stroking her tongue over the slayers, in a deep, but gentle kiss.

Faith runs her tongue over her lips as they pull away. Gathering up the taste of the other woman, she smiles. "I liked." She grins winking at Sam. "Let me help you finish making the bed." Faith offers, standing up slowly.

Sam smiles, her heart feeling a little lighter. "Yeah, we need to make the bed so Giles can have somewhere to sleep tonight."

Faith smirks. "It'll still probably smell like sex in here. It'll probably drive him nuts."

Sam chuckles, shaking her head at the slayer. "You don't seem to be bothered by that fact."

"Hell no! He deserves it." Faith starts laughing. Walking up beside Sam, she wraps her arms around her and pulls her in for a quick hug. Stepping back as she releases her, Faith looks in her eyes. "Thanks for giving me a chance."

Sam smiles softly. "You're welcome. I'm sorry for being a bitch earlier."

"You weren't." Faith shakes her head smiling slightly. "Let's get the bed made. I think someone promised us a shopping trip today."

"Yes, she did. And she'll make good on it." Sam smiles at Faith as the two women companionably finish making the bed and straightening the room.
