Chapter 10

It's been a couple days since the 'incident' at the movies. I've been running around trying to avoid everybody. Cordelia because I'm terrified of what she's going to do. Willow and Kennedy because I know that they know something's up and I don' wanna have to tell them about what happened with Cordelia.

On top of the Cordelia drama, Rachel has been following me around like a lost puppy. Or so I've heard. She hasn't actually talked directly to me yet. Apparently she asked Willow for my home address though, thank god Will didn't give it to her. Then I'd really be worried.

The only somewhat good thing that's come of this is that Buffy is only slightly pissed at me now. I think she assumes that I apologized to Cordelia. She has no idea. Queen C obviously doesn't want anybody finding out about her crush.

This is just too surreal though, Cordelia Chase actually has a crush on me. Who would have thought. She didn't blatantly say the words the other night, but I could tell. I'm very good at reading others. What? I am. Takes me a while to get the hint though...

As I'm walking to the parking lot to meet Kennedy for my ride home, someone pulls me by the wrist to the alley of the school. Next thing I know there's an angry looking tiny brunette staring me down. Or up?

"You're in love with Buffy Summers." No shit.

I lean against the dumpster, I'm cool like that. "Maybe." Took her long enough to catch on though. Rachel is smiling triumphantly at me, with a scheming look on her face. Guess she really likes being right.

"It was a statement, not a question." Okay?

"And why exactly did you have to pull me to a secluded area to get me to state that I love Buffy Summers?" This girl has got some serious issues.

"Because Faith, I'm about to blackmail you." She what?

"I have come to the conclusion that you don't love me." No! Really?

"Therefore I'm going to make you love me." When exactly did my life become a freakin soap opera?

"Let me stop you right there Rach." I get ready to lay it on her hard. "You can't 'make' me love you. I never ever will. I'm sorry but it's true." Why the hell is she still smiling? I'd have expected her to be in tears right now.

Rachel gets smug. "Maybe not, but I can make you date me."

I lean against the building. "Oh really? How exactly are you gonna do that Rachel?" I've never dated anyone, I ain't going to start with her, that's for sure.

"I suspect you don't want Buffy finding out about your little crush." It's not even a little crush.

"Buffy would laugh in your face and probably never speak to you again." She's definitely got a point there. I still don't get what that has to do with anything though.

"Therefore I'm going to make you an offer Faith." Uh oh, is she seriously about to do this to me.

"Faith, you can either be my girlfriend, or I will tell Buffy how much you actually like her." She wouldn't.

"Buffy wouldn't believe you."

Rachel pulls out her cell phone. "No, but she'll believe you."

Rachel presses a button on her cell phone. "I'm in love with Buffy Summers." Bitch. I snatch the phone from her and delete the recording in like 0.01 seconds. Did she really think she could get away with that?

"Do you honestly think I'm that stupid Faith?" Well... "I already sent it to my e-mail." Crap.

"So Faith, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

Fuck, fuck, fuck, stupid bitch, tiny ass brunette, Fuck! I've been banging my head on my computer desk for about an hour now. Since I got home from Rachel's house. She made me walk her home and even had the nerve to ask me for a kiss goodbye. It's like she's oblivious to how freaking insane she is. Argh! I hate her. I hate women. Except for Buffy.

Buffy.

What the hell is she gonna think with all this? I told her that I'd never date Rachel, now I'm gonna show up hand in hand with her. Yeah, you heard right. Since we are now 'couple', I have to walk her to and from school. Oh and to all of her classes. My life sucks.

There's a knock at my door. "Ma1 I told you, I'm not hungry." Another knock. Great, now I have to get up to unlock the door. No way do I ever leave it unlocked anymore. Not after the last time...

Mom walked in on me doing some chick, I can't quite remember her name. Anyways, she than proceeded to ask her to stay for dinner. It was 3o'clock in the morning.

I whip it open. "What!"

This can't be good. "Hi Faith." There's Cordelia in my fucking shitty ass apartment, saying hi to me. What has gone wrong in this world.

"Hey." and why the hell aren't I kicking her ass outta here? Preferably by a window. (I live on the third floor.)

"Can I come in?" She asks.

No, no you can't. "Sure." Fuck. Why do I do this to myself? She walks in, owning the place in a way that only Cordelia Chase can manage.

"Nice room." She chuckles. I have no idea why she finds my room funny. She goes over to my bed and sits on it, patting the place right next to her. Don't do it, don't do it, but because I'm an idiot, I sit down right next to her.

"I think I came on a little too aggressively the other night." I'm about to interrupt but she holds her finger up to silence me. To my surprise, but obviously not hers, I don't talk.

She wriggles around to get comfortable. Guess this going to be a long conversation. "It's hard for me. I love being popular," obviously, "but I also like you," oh boy, another love confession. "Ever since we were like 8 and you said my dress was pretty I've kinda had a crush on you." I don't remember that, at that time she was already a bitch to me. "You probably don't remember," she shakes her head and sighs. "I can't be seen in public with you, there's just no way. Maybe we can just... Hang out like this."
Her face is getting awfully close to mine, and I can't remember when she put her hand on mine that's resting on the bed.

"Um." Tell her to leave. You're in love with her best friend! Oh, and you have a girlfriend. Girlfriend! That's my way out.

I'm about to tell her that I'm taken, but before I can even get a word out, her lips are on mine and her tongue is in my mouth. Mm No! Bad Faith. This is Cordelia we're talking about.

I pull away from her. "I'm sorry Cordy, but I'm seeing someone." She laughs, but when she realizes that I'm serious the laugh turns into a glare. "Who?"

"Rachel..." I really should find out what her last name is.

"The freakazoid tiny singer wannabe?"

"That would be her," I probably should have defended her... Fuck it. Don't have to act like a girlfriend when she isn't even around.

"Since when?" She's practically growling at me. Is it bad that I'm more than a little turned on right now?

"T-t-today." Well, I'm officially a pussy.

"Pfft, not long enough for me to care." She pushes me down and straddles my hips, she starts kissing and sucking on my neck. This is so wrong.

"So this is what's going to happen," she whispers into my ear, her hands are already under my shirt feeling my abs. Told you they were a nice weapon. Although now they're basically getting me killed. "Tomorrow morning, you're going to tell her to suck it. Then you're gonna meet me in the second floor janitorial closet."

"I can't."

"You can and you will," With that she starts kissing me everywhere. Why am I even letting her get this far, this is Cordelia fucking Chase.

"But first, you're going to give me the best first lesbian experience a girl can have." Mm, maybe that's why. She's a bitch, but she's hot.
