Chapter 5: Trouble in an Almost Paradise

Lindsey stood in his apartment, seriously pissed off, but somehow relieved. Faith wanted too much in his eyes. Way too much. His anger subsided, when he remembered her. He had her, no more hiding it. He was seeing someone on the side. Turns out neither of them were satisfied with this relationship. He went to the phone and called her up.

&&&&&&&&

3 days later…

Cordelia walked into her apartment and heard the phone ringing. She quickly answered it.

"Hello?" she said twirling her fingers in her brown hair.

"Hey, what's up?" Charles Gunn asked.

"Nothin' much," she said walking into the kitchen and opening the fridge.

"You hear back from that doctor yet?" Gunn said, obviously not very fond of the guy.

"Not yet," Cordy said grabbing a can of diet coke.

"Hate to say I told ya so," Gunn started.

"Then don't," she said drinking down the soda in one gulp.

"Well, don't give me a reason too," Gunn said.

"Shut up," Cordelia said, walking into the living room, and turning the TV on "I got to go, I have a someone on hold," she said switching over to the other line. "Hello?" she said.

"Hey, what's up?" Buffy asked.

"Nothin' just got home, and I haven't had a moments peace yet," Cordelia said.

"Enough about your problems, Faith just called and she wants to talk to us, meet at my apartment," Buffy said.

"Ugh, just give me the big pieces of info," Cordy said getting comfortable in an easy chair.

&&&&&&&&

Fred walked into Spike's apartment.

"Hey, baby?" Fred called out, as she walked into the dark apartment. She looked around, the shades were drawn, and she couldn't see two feet in front of her. She turned the lights on. When he lights came on she found Spike in front of her sitting on the couch. "Spike, what's wrong?" she asked. Spike just looked at her.

"What I said before, you know, no children, I didn't really mean it," Spike said while starring at the wall. "But we should just take our time, we've only been together for two years or so, but I ain't ready for all that stuff yet. Give me time," Spike said looking up at Fred with the puppy dog eyes. She could never resist those eyes.

"Sorry, for pushing, take all the time you need," Fred said kissing him on the cheek.

Faith walked into Buffy's apartment, she saw B., and Red, and Dawn sitting on a leather couch.

"So what did you wan to talk about?" Buffy asked.

"Um, it's about me and Lindsey," Faith said sitting down near Buffy.

"Whatever it is, you two can get through it, you always have be-" Buffy said but was cut off.

"We broke up," Faith said as silence took over the room.

"I always knew he was an asshole," Dawn said trying to make Faith feel better, her knowledge in this area was limited.

"I left him," Faith said.

"I stand by my comment," Dawn said.

"Why did you leave him," Willow asked.

"I found someone new," Faith said.

"That guy at the bar?" Willow asked. Faith nodded her head.

"What guy?" Dawn asked.

"So he asked you to leave him?" Buffy said.

"WHAT GUY?" Dawn shouted.

"No, he told me to make a choice," Faith said.

"A choice?" Willow asked.

"WHAT GUY!?" Dawn shouted as loud as she could.

"Shut up!" Faith, Buffy, and Willow all shouted at once.

"He made me chose between him or Lindsey," Faith said.

"So what's his name?" Buffy asked.

"Angel," Faith said, giggling. Dawn starred at her in shock.

"What was that?" dawn asked.

"What was what?" Faith said.

"You giggled," Dawn said.

"Did not," Faith said, though she knew she did.

"What is this guy good in bed?" Dawn asked.

"Dawn!" Buffy scolded, "you're to young to be thinking of that kind of stuff!"

"I'm 16!" Dawn shouted.

"I don't care," Buffy shouted.

"If mom we're still around she…" Dawn began to say walking to her bedroom.

"Well mom's not around, she's in rehab, remember?" Buffy said, Dawn walked into her room.

"Well is he," Willow asked enthusiastically.

"Well is he what?" Faith asked.

"Good, you know, in bed," Willow asked barely able to suppress her laughter.

"Willow!" Faith said chuckling "we haven't even gotten there yet!" Faith said laughing.

"Yeah, sure," Buffy said rolling her eyes.

So what do you think, I've been trying to make my chapters longer, looks like I've succeeded in this one. But don't get used to it. Please review! Oh and looks like the Spike/Buffy thing ain't gonna happen. Sorry, I just like the Fred and Spike thing too much.
