Right Kind of Wrong
Disclaimers throughout the story
Buffy woke up at the sound of the alarm clock; she didn't know who set it when neither she nor Faith had classes. She turned off the alarm with disgust and reached over to hug Faith, but found that she was gone. Sitting completely up her eyebrows knitted together in confusion, she got out of bed in search of her girlfriend. When her search yielded nothing, she climbed back into the bed and went back to sleep. Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, today was her and Faith's four month anniversary, they've been together for that long. In actuality it seemed like a lot longer than that, but she was happy.
Faith crept back in the room, praying that Buffy was still asleep. She went to IHOP and got them some breakfast to share in bed, today was their anniversary and she wanted to start it off right. She placed everything on a tray that she bought the other day, and slipped out of her clothes and in the bed next to her lover. Buffy stirred a little at the movement and woke up.
"Faith?" She asked sleepily.
The brunette slayer kissed Buffy lightly on the forehead, and Buffy sat up further, "Happy anniversary baby." Faith told her and put the tray on her lap.
Buffy smiled, "Happy anniversary, what's all this?" She asked.
"I wanted to serve you breakfast in bed. It's our special day and I wanted to get it started right. So I got up at the ass crack of dawn and got us some breakfast." She gave the blonde a dimpled smile.
Buffy leaned in and kissed the girl deeply, "I love you so much baby." She replied they began eating. The slayers feasted on pancakes, hash browns, sausages, stuffed French toast, coffee and orange juice.
"B, what do you have planned for the day? I'm going to be pretty busy from 3 until 7."
The blonde looked thoughtful, "I'm going to spend the morning making my honey scream. Then I am going to go out with Willow later and pick up something special for tonight. Should I dress casual or formal?" She asked between bites.
Faith had already finished eating, "Formal, I want you in a very kick ass dress. You know like the one you wore to prom, but different and not pink." She requested.
Buffy took a sip from her juice, "I thought you liked the pink. If I could recall you said, it made you horny as hell for me." She mocked teased.
The brunette moved the tray and placed it on the floor. She slid closer to Buffy and began tracing her thumb across the girl's lips.
"It did, in fact I'm horny as hell for you now. Last night was the icing on the cake, I want more." She said throatily.
Buffy let out an involuntary moan, "You're not the only one." She finally got the rest of it out.
Faith was about to do more, when a knock sounded on the door. The brunette slayer got up to answer it cursing whoever was on the opposite side of the door.
"There better be an apocalypse or someone is going to die." She seethed out.
Buffy stifled a giggle, she loved it when the other girl got pissed off, it made the slayer loving all the much better. She watched as Faith opened the door, her smile turned into a frown when she saw who it was. Cordelia was standing there with a few boxes.
"It's not an apocalypse; it's a whole lot worse." Faith turned around and Cordelia followed her in.
"Sorry to disturb your morning, but I wanted to drop some things off to you since I won't see you tonight. It's a peace offering; I want us to be cool again." She said in false honesty, actually she devised this whole thing, just to get back in Faith's good graces.
Buffy sat up straighter in bed and offered the girl a smile; at least she was making an effort. The guilt over the kiss they shared reared its ugly head, and she began to panic.
The Prom queen handed them a box, "Since it's your anniversary, and I'm pretty sure that you two are going to toast the night away. This is for you." She told them.
"Thank you Cordy." Buffy replied.
Together both slayers opened the box and smiled when they saw two crystal champagne glasses, and a bottle of Korbel.
"C, we are not old enough to drink. How did you get this?" The brunette slayer asked.
"I have my ways. No one will ever know that you had any alcohol, besides it's a special occasion a little champagne never hurt anyone." She smiled.
Buffy exchanged a look with the girl, she knew something was up. She didn't know what, so she had to stay aware of the situation.
"Thanks for the champagne. What else so you have?" Buffy asked curiosity now piqued.
The other brunette smiled brightly, "I got you two some imported Swiss Chocolates, and for you dear Buffy, a gift certificate for Victoria's Secret. You can pick out some very sexy lingerie for the night." She grinned wickedly.
"This is all well and good C, but why the change of heart shit? I mean you have a thing for my girl. You have Angel kidnap her, and some other sick and twisted shit. Did I forget anything?" She asked looking at Buffy.
The blonde looked away from her girlfriend's intense glare. She wanted to tell so bad, but she couldn't things were going so well between them. She looked at Cordelia who had a challenging look on her face. It was saying 'Tell her or I will.' she quickly looked away. The brunette was about to say something, but Buffy beat her to it.
"That's not all, the other night I kissed Cordelia." She blurted out.
Both brunettes' looked at Buffy one was unreadable, and the other was trying not to laugh. The blonde glared at the Prom Queen, she set the whole thing up, and Buffy played right into her hands. Now all she had to do was sit back and see the fireworks fly.
"What the fuck did you just say B?" Faith asked clearly pissed, she completely ignored the other girl.
"The other night, when I went to Cordelia's for comfort... I don't know what happened we just kissed. It was a moment of weakness for me... it didn't mean anything." She tried to explain.
"I don't want to hear anymore, I need to go think." She grabbed her clothes and went into the bathroom to change. She came back out and didn't bother looking at either girl; she walked out the door slamming it behind her.
"I really didn't mean for that to happen, I was going to tell her about a gift certificate for her to the newest sex shop outside of Sunnydale. You went and opened your mouth." The brunette told the blonde.
"I didn't know what you were going to do. I don't know what you're capable of right now, how much more damage do you want to cause? You had me kidnapped, and lied to me. Do you hate me that much? What did I ever do to you?" She asked near tears.
This was not going the way Cordelia thought it would. Sure she wanted Buffy to confess to Faith about their kiss, but she didn't want her to be so self blaming.
"I don't hate you, I love you damn it! It has always been you, from the first time you stepped foot into Sunnydale High. I fell in love with you, I thought you loved me also, then you dropped me the moment Faith came into the picture." She admitted feeling a little better, after getting it off her chest.
Buffy didn't know what to say, she never gave a thought to the other girls feelings. She just dropped her like a bad habit and never looked back. They never really talked about it, they just acted like it was just sex. Yes, Buffy did love Cordelia, was she ever in love with her? That was something that was never explored.
"I'm sorry about the way I treated you. I was wrong for that, but I didn't know how you truly felt about me. Sure we got along for the sake of Xander, but I thought that you thought it was just sex." She said honestly.
"It was more than about that. You made me feel things that I've never felt before, sure my past relationships have been based on only sex, but this was different. We were different, and I thought you felt the same. I never got over you Buffy; it's hard to ever get over you. I am so jealous over what you have with Faith, she sees you the way no one else ever has. No, I'm not talking about body wise or anything, but you seem more passionate and alive with her. Not everything is doom and gloom, you actually smile and laugh. Something you never did, not even when you were with Angel." The brunette admitted.
"With Angel we were like a tragedy, 'I love you, but we can't be together. I love you the world is going to end.' It was kind of hard when everything about the relationship was depressing as all get out. Faith brought out more, sure she lives and breathes sex, but I had someone to actually share things with. It's just different with her, I can't explain it." Buffy told her friend.
"Are you happy? Does she make you happy?" The girl asked with uncertainty.
Buffy looked at her and smiled, "She makes me insanely happy. I want you to be happy for me. What he has was special and will always mean something to me, but you got to let it go sweetie. You have a great guy who is crazy in love with you, but you're just to blind to see it." She told her.
"Xander loves me?" She asked in surprise.
"Anyone with eyes can tell he's in love with you. Now, get up and go find him. I need to get dressed and find my girl. It's our anniversary, we deserve to have a bit of happiness." She told the brunette.
Cordelia walked to the door, but not before turning around, "I'm real sorry about what happened. I really want you to be happy, and if it means being with Faith, then I'll be happy for you. Still friends?" She asked hopefully.
Buffy walked over to her and gave her a hug, "Still friends. Now go find Xander, work things out. You two are so made for each other, even if you don't see it." She told her.
The blonde watched as Cordelia walked out the door, she threw on some clothes and went looking for her girlfriend. For some reason she felt a lot better after talking to Cordelia. Now Buffy just hoped that she could make things right with Faith, she grabbed the gift certificate to Victoria's Secret. The little blonde was on a mission and nothing was going to stop her.
