Faith pulled her dark brown hair up and tied it back. She stepped underneath the warm spray of water.

Buffy walked up the path to Faith's front door, holding a Tupperware container filled with homemade brownies. Frank and Gloria stepped outside as she walked up the steps.

"Buffy," Gloria smiled, pulling her daughter's girlfriend in to a friendly hug. "Faith's inside."

"What's in the container?" Frank raised his eyebrow.

Gloria playfully swatted his arm. "What happened to saying 'hello'?"

Frank smiled, "Excuse my lack of manners, Buffy. How're you?"

"I'm good."

"Now," he rubbed his hands together and licked his lips. "What have you got there?"

Faith was careful not to get her wet as she got herself nice and soapy in the shower.

"Brownies," Buffy replied, opening the lid. Frank took two.

Gloria gave him a disapproving look.

"What?" he laughed. "One for now and one for the road." He grinned.

"Okay, time for us to go or that Tupperware box container will be empty by the time you get inside." She grabbed her husband's arm and led him down the steps. "The door is unlocked. Let yourself inside."

"Thanks!" Frank shouted over his shoulder.

Buffy smiled, she liked Faith's parents. They made her feel like part of the family and always welcome in their home. She took one last look at them before she stepped inside.

Faith turned off the shower and stepped out, grabbing the towel off of the rack and began to dry herself off.

Buffy called out Faith's name but when she didn't hear Faith respond in turn she headed for the stairs, guessing that her girlfriend was probably upstairs in her attic bedroom. The thought of being alone with Faith made Buffy's stomach do this flipping sort of thing. She always thought things between the two of them were close to becoming more but Faith would always pull away when things became too heated. She hoped that this afternoon things might be a bit different.

Faith placed the towel back onto the rack, unaware of the fact that Buffy had crept up the stairs to her bedroom. Her girlfriend thought it might be funny to try and scare her. Buffy slowly made her way over to the bathroom door it was cracked up just a bit, enough to see a flash of skin. Faith turned and Buffy saw it. She didn't believe her eyes at first, but she was positive of what she'd seen. She hurried down the stairs before Faith could see her, stopping when she reached the bottom of them and sat down on the steps. She'd seen her girlfriend with far more than a girl should have between her legs. She'd seen Faith's dick. Suddenly everything made sense to her and the reason why Faith stopped things from becoming too physically intimate became clear. She stood up. "Faith!" she called out.

"Yeah, B! Don't come up. Just give me a second!" She shouted, sounding panicked to Buffy. She stayed put at the bottom of the stairs, honestly shocked by what she'd accidentally discovered, but her feelings for Faith were the same. She even felt badly for her girlfriend for thinking she had to hide this part of herself.

Faith quickly put on a pair of special underwear. She put on a bra as well and slipped on a pair of shorts and T-shirts. "Alright, you can come up." She stopped at the top of the stairs, feeling relieved that Buffy hadn't seen anything. She took her time getting to the top of the stairs, debating what she should say to Faith. When she got to the top she couldn't find the words to say anything. Faith looked terribly uncomfortable and she didn't want to make matters worse. "I brought you brownies." She smiled.

"You're the best, B." Faith leaned in pressing a soft kiss to Buffy's cheek before taking the container from her.

"So, what were you doing? Hiding a girl from me?" she asked, playfully, trying to get the both of them to relax.

"Don't need another girl when I've got you." She grabbed Buffy's hand leading her over to the couch and sat down. "So, what did I do to deserve getting baked goods from you?"

"Nothing, all you have to be is you." She joined Faith on the couch, starring at her lovingly.
