C.5 Confessions
The man of friendly face knelt in front of her and smiled. Looking at the person who had once been like a father to her, made her head spin with many thoughts. At the same time her head was telling her that the man she was looking at wasn't the same person she knew, that it was The First. And even if it had been the real Mayor she deep inside knew that her relationship with her Boss had been based in work interest and nothing else, after all Richard Wilkins was an evil demon. But knowing all that didn't make what the figure told her any less disturbing.
"Hello my Faith, I'm so glad to see you again."-the demon said to the confused slayer.
"I am not your Faith."-Faith disagreed
"awww, come on, to be kind with people it's not so difficult, now, is it? I just came because I want you back with me, I know you like playing with the winner team and I can assure you that the blonde slayer and her friends are not going to."-The Mayor/First said.
"It doesn't matter to me, not anymore. I've changed. I am different now."-Faith said.
"Poor, poor Faith, always looking for the same...you are not like them and you will never be. You are like me. I can see it in your eyes, in the fire that burns in them. Don't worry young girl, you will realize it by yourself when you get bored to be with the good ones. I will be waiting for you my Faithy."-was the end of the evil man speech.
And he just disappeared from the spot where he had been.
Leaving Faith free to see what was happening with the fight, Caleb had Buffy taken by the neck and shaking her vigorously.
The brunette used all her forces to rise and try to aid her companion. While some meters away Buffy continued fighting to breathe and trying not to pass out, her vision started to get blurred and when she thought that the evil priest was going to drown her, Caleb loosened his grip on her with a pain filled scream. And there, in front of her was Faith with a knife in her hand and a gash on her forehead that was dripping blood all over the right part of her face practically covering all that side, and into her T-shirt. Caleb stepped back from them touching the wound that Faith had just caused him.
"You win this time, but it won't be the end of it, I assure you. In any case we have fulfilled the objective."-Caleb said.
And he disappeared leaving Buffy and Faith alone.
"Interesting"-Faith stated.
"Yep, you o.k?"-asked Buffy concerned about her companion's health.
"Yes, it was just a blow."-Faith tried to reassure the blonde.
"What do you think he meant by fulfill his objective?"-asked Buffy.
"I have seen The First."-Faith answered.
"What? What did he said to you?"-again it was Buffy who asked.
But Faith didn't have the time to answer, since the blood loss started to catch up whit her. Everything started to get darker and she just fell to the ground. The blonde slayer caught her and slowly leant her on the ground; the last thing the brunette could see was the worried face of the woman she loved.
Several minutes went by before Faith woke up, and when she did, she didn't open her eyes immediately, she just maintained them closed while listening to Buffy in the same room speaking with...Xander?
"Come on, she is wounded can't you see it? She saved my life, Caleb was going to kill me, and he would have if she wouldn't have been there. So why did she saved me if she wanted me dead?"-asked Buffy trying to make Xander see her point.
"She is just playing with you Buffy, she already did it once, don't you remember it? She played with all of us and then went to the Mayor, she is dangerous, who knows what she must be planning."-Xander said still sure of being right about the brunette intentions.
"Stop it already Xander, I told you that she is not planning anything, don't you trust me anymore?"-asked Buffy hoping that a little bit of guilt would change the boy's mind.
"Is not that, is just...Arghhh o.k., I will leave her alone for now, but don't say I didn't warn you when it gets out of hand."-Xander said resigned and not too sure.
"Thanks Xan."-Buffy smiled.
The dark haired man left room and Buffy turned back to look at Faith, and found her with her eyes opened.
"Hey! You are awake, how are you feeling? You had me worried, you were unconscious for several hours."-Buffy said with still concerned eyes.
"Hey, I am fine, well more or less, my head hurts a little, but otherwise."-Faith said.
"You received a big blow. By the way, I never thank you for saving my live at the cemetery."-Buffy said with shyness in her voice.
"Sure no problem, I'm glad I could help."-answered truthfully Faith.
Buffy seated at the edge of Faith's bed and without even thinking about it she touched the brunette's hand. Again, almost like a repetition of what had happened in the morning, both were lost in each other's eyes. Faith lifted herself a little in bed and Buffy leant on it more and more. Until their lips where just inches apart. The two thought about the first time they had been in that same situation and waited to see if somebody decided to enter the room, but anyone did. So making the last move Faith touched her lips to Buffy's slightly, to see the blonde's reaction. When Buffy felt her companion's lips on hers she moved to make the contact more important. After seconds of mere touching between lips the blonde opened her mouth giving Faith's tongue permission to explore her mouth, the kiss deepened. And finally they both put on it all their past and present desires for each other. They explored meticulously the other's mouth, the smoothness of the lips, the humidity of tongues, everything, and any of them wanted it the kiss to finish, but oxygen was needed and they parted. The two girls were without breath, but never broke the visual contact.
"Wow!"-was all that the blonde was able to say.
"Wow? That's all you say, wait, Wow describes it well enough."-Faith said in return.
Both laughed without the tension that the morning thing had formed among them, but Faith still had a doubt.
"What does this mean? I mean what now?"-asked the brunette.
"I don't know , I only know that I liked it and want to do it again, that is if you want too."-answered Buffy.
"Are you telling me that I can call you my girlfriend?"-asked Faith half serious half joking.
"Ummmm...let me think...I have already decided, yes!"-answered the blonde with a big smile on her face.
The blonde embraced the brunette with force and gave her a tender kiss on the lips, whereas Faith was still thinking about something.
"What's wrong?"-asked Buffy concerned.
"No...don't worry, is just that..."-Faith started.
"You can say anything to me."-Buffy said trying to encourage her counterpart.
"It's just that I want to go slow in our relationship. I mean... I've never felt something like that for anyone, I have been with much people, but I've never had a date that mattered to me. All that people didn't mean anything to me, it was just sex and nothing else, but with you...it is not about sex, with you I want everything."-Faith explained really fast.
After Faith's confession Buffy had tears in her eyes, she knew how difficult must have been for the brunette to confess all those feelings and that gave her the security about her companion's sincerity.
"Don't worry, I also prefer to go slowly, I also want everything with you."-Buffy assured her.
They kissed and lied down in bed, Buffy in Faith's arms, they were just happy to be with the other, and finally they fell asleep.
Any of them was aware of the person that stood in the corner of the room. The First in his Mayor form smiled.
"Interesting, yep, very interesting"-he said with an evil smile in her face.
