Spike opened the door to find Liz's face, her eyes had just the tiniest bit of concern in them, which faded and was replaced by with a cold expression.
"Is she ok?" Liz asked her voice indifferent. Spike checked on Faith.
"She's been better. She's sleeping now." He said closing the door to her room. "I hope she gets better soon. She doesn't get a lot of sleep. Nightmares."
"You seem to have forgiven her for the whole sleeping with other guys thing." Liz commented. At the look Spike gave her she quickly moved on. "Has she told you what her dreams are about?" Liz quickly glanced at Faith's door. Spike shook his head and reached to get a cup of coffee.
"Well we need to help her then." Liz agreed as she poured herself a cup of coffee.
Faith woke up to Spike saying that him and Liz need to help her. 'Why the hell do they want to need to help?' She thought as she got out bed, put her runners on and went to the kitchen to get a drink.
"Hey Liz, Hey Spike." She said going to pass them. As she did Spike stepped in front of her, preventing her from getting a cup.
"What are you doing?" Faith asked trying to get around Spike but each time she went to get around he blocked her.
"Listen luv, you're gonna tell us what's going on in that gorgeous little head of yours. Ok?" Spike tapped the side of her head to get his point across.
"Nothings going on alright…I'm going for a run." And with that Faith ran out of the front door before Liz or Spike could say anything.
"Well that went well." Liz said. "Spike you can't keep worrying about her. You've done that ever since I can remember."
"You know why. It's because she has no one else Liz." Spike told her, putting his shoes on "You can show yourself out right?" before slamming the door behind him leaving Liz standing in the middle of his living room in shock. 'He's gonna fall for her…again' She thought as she went to leave, locking the door behind her.
Faith ran out of the apartment as fast as she could and ran to the stairwell. 'Why do they want to help me? Probably to stab me in the back.' She thought as she leaned against the wall, sighing. After a minute or two she heard the door to Spike's apartment open then slam shut, and heard someone's footsteps running towards the elevator. She closed her eyes and tried to relax. When she opened her eyes again a few minutes later her eyes were met with dark brown eyes. Faith gasped before realizing that it was Spike.
Spike found Faith leaning against the wall in the stairwell of his apartment building. He put an arm on either side of her, trapping her. 'She's not getting away until I find out what's going on.' He thought, his eyes drifting down to her exposed stomach. When she opened her eyes, he heard her gasp, his lips curled into a small smile.
"Spike" She said breathlessly. "What are you doing?" When she tried to get away, Spike grabbed her by the upper arms and brought his mouth to her ear.
"Luv, we're gonna have a little chat about those you've been having. Savvy?" His voice dangerously low and his breath again tickling her ear. She shivered just as she had earlier that day. She was going to try and get away again but by his tone she knew he was deadly serious.
When she nodded he released her arms and put his hands on either side of her shoulders. 'No where to go now Faith' he thought, an evil smirk appearing on his face. He looked into Faith's eyes and saw that they were filled with fear, sadness and confusion all at the same time.
"Ok. So what are those dreams about?" Spike asked, He noticed that Faith shivered again, either because of his warm breathe on her neck or because he was lightly dragging his fingertips up and down her arm.
"About that night." She said quietly.
"What night?" Spike asked, when Faith looked down, he realized what night she had been talking about. "Oh that night." When Faith nodded he let his arms fall back to his side. "All you had to do was tell me, Faith." Faith grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him into a hug. 'I don't want him to know I've been dreaming of killing him…he'll freak out.' She thought as she planted a chaste kiss on his cheek.
"Thanks. I'll try not to dream anymore." She said walking back into the hallway, having Spike wonder if that was the real reason for her nightmares.
