Chapter 4: A How To
Faith walked into her apartment Angel wasn't far behind. Angel cradled a sleeping Connor in his arms.
"Lindsey? You home?" Faith asked as she stepped into the apartment. Faith looked back at Angel when she got no response.
He walked up to her and kissed her softly. They walked into her apartment. Angel looked around and saw how much better her apartment was from his and suddenly felt inadequate. Faith turned around to face him.
"Wait here," she said as she walked into the bedroom. Angel waited about five minutes, Faith came out carrying a duffel bag. She walked up to Angel and kissed him.
"So, you ready to go?" Angel asked.
"Yeah, so much for Valentine's Day," Faith said sarcastically.
"I'll make up for it on your birthday," Angel said kissing her back. Angel looked at Faith in a way he never did before. "I'm sorry for yelling at you," he said softly.
"It's okay, you were right though," Faith said looking down at the floor, "I am a wh-"
she started to say but was cut off when Angel kissed her.
"You're not," Angel said kissing her again "now lets go."
At that moment Lindsey walked into the apartment, and saw them getting a little to close.
"What the hell is going on?" he said angrily. He didn't wait for a response, "and who the fuck are you?"
"Uh, Lindsey, we…um…are over," Faith said nervously. Lindsey didn't take it well.
"Tell me what the hell is going on here!?" Lindsey shouted. Faith winced at the shouting, bad memories. All through her childhood her mother and father always yelled at her. Until her father died, after that it was just her mother yelling at her when she was drunk.
"Like I said we're over," Faith said calmly.
"You!" Lindsey said pointing at Angel, "I've seen you before, you-you were here earlier!" he shouted.
Faith looked at Angel, she didn't care how he found out, she was just glad that he knew, it hurt her lying to him. It hurt because he trusted her, he trusted her with Connor too. It hurt worse because she was lying to the man she loved, Angel. It hurt so bad, but that just went away when he found out. She looked back at Lindsey.
"Lindsey, I'm sorry, but it's over," Faith said, her voice barely above a whisper. Faith walked out of the apartment, Angel soon followed. Faith took one last look at Lindsey, she quickly decided she had made the right choice.

Angel put Connor in the baby seat. Faith watched him, her eyes filling with tears. Angel looked at her. He kissed her softly, it was passionate, and possessive. He got into the driver's seat and started the car up. On their way down they had rode in complete silence, now it was time for a change.
"What's wrong?' Angel asked.
"Nothing," Faith said, truth was nothing was wrong, she didn't know why she was crying, she just was. Tears of joy, she guessed. Faith turned the CD player on, and immediately 'Mandy' was being played softly. Faith let out a chuckle.
"Barry Manilow?" Faith barely able to make out the words she was saying through her laughter.
"Shut up!" Angel said sarcastically. Faith just laughed harder, "Shut up!" Angel said trying not to laugh himself.
"Sorry, sorry," Faith said grabbing onto Angel's arm. She immediately stopped laughing, and rested her head on his shoulder.
