Hello peeps. Yeah it took a few days but I was having a little difficulty deciding if this was going to be a song less chapter or not. Finally I'm adding a song then I needed to find a good one and what not but enough excuses! Here's the chapter.

Faith pov.

She's lookin at me like I've grown three heads.

"Faith you can't leave. You were t-t" she can't even say the word.

"B, I'm fine. Trust me." I say. She shakes her head.

"No Faith, you need to stay put. You're not fully recovered." she says. I take her hand in mine.

"Buffy, I get it. You're worried. But I'm fine. I mean, look at my face." I say and she finally notices there aren't any bruises. She looks a little shocked.

"How di-" she starts.

"Its parta who I am. My dad is the devil and my mom is an angel. I'm...different." I say. She just looks at me.

"Your mother is an angel?" she asks and I nod. "And your father is the devil?" another nod. I look at her and actually giggle a little.

"Damn. Not only are me and you polar opposites but I'm a walkin contradiction!" I say. She giggles a little herself. We calm down after a few minutes then I turn serious again. "Seriously Buffy, I'm fine." I say. She still doesn't want me to leave.

"But Faith, you don't get it. You've already died once!" she says.

"So have you B. if you hadn't we wouldn't be having this conversation. Lets make a deal, if I get hurt, even if its a small cut, I'll rest. I promise. But if I can make it through the rest of the day, without anything goin wrong, they you just chill out. Deal?" I ask. She thinks it over.

"If you break a nail..." she trails off.

"Slayers honor." I say. Its sweet and all that she's worried but I'm fine. She shakes my hand and goes to get the doctor. They come back in and the doctor smiles at me.

"Hello Ms. Lehane, how are you feeling?" he asks. Somethin is off bout this dude.

"Like I wanna go home." I say. He just offers me a charming smile. He is kinda cute I guess. I give him a smile. Complete with dimples.

"Ah, I understand Ms. Lehane, but I'm afraid we have a few tests. We need to figure out how you're healing so fast." he says.

"Alright, if I stay for the tests and everything checks out, then can I go?" I ask hopefully. He thinks it over.

"If you check out just fine, then we can't keep you here." he says. I nod. "Alright ma'am. I'm going to go get a nurse to take you downstairs for testing. Just hang tight." he says.

"If everybody here is as cute as you, I'll even consider stayin." I say. "Don't get no ideas and send somebody cute though." I say quickly. He just smiles and leaves the room. I look at B whose frownin. oh. Jealous.

"I'm going to let you get ready for...testing." she says. I grab her hand as she's getting up.

"Tell me ya didn't feel that?" she looks at me.

"What?" she asks.

"You didn't feel that presence?" I ask. I'm shocked. I mean, even if she was a little jealous, then she'd still be able to feel a mystical presence. Right?

"No Faith. I didn't feel anything." she says jerking her hand away. I hop off the bed.

"B, there's somethin bout him..." I trail off.

"Then why don't you ask for his number and take him out to dinner?" she asks a little sharply.

"Buffy will you stop bein jealous and chill!" I exclaim. She looks at me a little embarrassedly.

"Sorry but I can't just over look the fact you were flirting with him not even thirty minutes after you said you loved me." she says. I offer her a smile.

"I do Buffy. I love you. But I do what I gotta do ta get ta people. If I gotta flirt a little then I'll flirt. I'm sorry for doin it in fronta ya." I say. She looks at me for a minute before sighin.

"I'm sorry I just...i don't want to.." I can feel what's comin next. I gotta stop her. I just hope she don't take this the wrong way. But she will.

"B, you can't lose what you don't have." I say. Her face changes. "Yet!" I say. "You don't have me yet. But when this is all over, maybe we could, go to dinner or somethin. Ya know get ta know each other?" I ask. She nods with a small smile.

"Sounds good." she says. But she don't like it. I can like, feel it.

"Look Buffy, as much as I'd love ta be with ya now, we can't do that. We got a lotta shit we need ta handle, Glory, I gotta go back to LA, Julian needs ta be in school, I got a company I need ta learn ta run, shit like that. So as much as its obvious we wanna be together, we gotta wait." I say. "Wait ya do wanna be with me, right?" I ask quickly. Her eyes widen.

"Yes! I do but I can see what you mean. Not only that but we need to learn to really trust each other and..." she sighs. I nod.

"Yeah, its gonna be a long hard process til we finally become a couple or somethin, but I think it'll be worth it." I tell her. She nods.

"Yeah. It will be but...why can't we just jump into things? Or...or why can't things leave us alone so we can have our time?" she ask. I smile a little.

"Life for us don't work that way. But Buffy do me a favor." I say. She nods. "Don't just like... don't sit around and wait for it to happen. If ya get a chance to date or somethin like that, take it?" I ask. She looks at me.

"No." she says. I sigh.

"Buf-" she cuts me off.

"Don't Buffy me. You said you love me, I can tell you mean it. Good, I love you too, and I get that we have to wait, I completely understand that, I can deal with that. But what I can't deal with is you telling me to go ahead and date while I'm waiting. I'm not going to date somebody else knowing that you and I have a chance. If you want to, which considering how busy you're going to be I doubt it, go ahead if you can. But don't expect me to take it lightly. If you date in LA, please make sure whoever stays there. I will fight for what's mine." she says firmly. I raise an eyebrow. Fight for what's hers. "Your heart Faith. I'll fight if I have to because if refuse to let some guy or girl come in and risk it." she says.

"B-" she stops me again.

"Faith, try all you like, but I'm not going to date anyone who isn't Faith Lehane." she says. I nod realizing that she's not going to give in to this.

"Alright Buffy. Will you go get Wes?" I ask. She nods.

"Yep." she says happily. She stops for a minute and hugs me very very quickly before letting go. I smile and shake my head lookin in the closet ta see what kinda clothes they brought me. I hear the door open and turn back slowly.

"Hey Wes I just wa-" but it aint Wesley. Its beefstick.

"Faith." he says. I look at him before smirkin.

"Beef stick. How's it hangin?" I ask.

"Good. Thanks for askin. How does it feel to know Buffy doesn't love you?" he asks. I smirk and walk towards him.

"How does it feel to know she hates you?" I whisper in his ear before lockin the door. This should be fun.

"Its not bad. Because I know what she feels. You, you're under an illusion that she cares about you. Did you forget the way she put you in a closet after you begged and pleaded? Did you forget that she stabbed you and took eight months out of your life?" he asks. Then he lets out a laugh. "You don't deserve her love." he says.

"And you do?" I ask in return.

"More than you ever will. You don't even deserve to breath the same air as her." he says. One song pops into my head.

I know you'd like to thank your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See that roses really smell like boo-boo-ooo
Yeah, roses really smell like boo-boo-ooo

ha! I almost laugh out loud.

"Can I ask you a question Riley?" I ask. He nods.

"Did you forget you were in a room with a psycho?" I ask and in a flash I have him tied to a chair.

"W-what are y-you doing?" he asks. I laugh.

"Don't worry Riley, when I'm done you won't have too far to go!" I say happily. Oh yeah, time for some fun with beefstick.

Just a short update. The song is the chorus to Roses by Outkast. I know they wrote it in reference to gold diggers but hey, the chorus can relate to anybody who thinks their better than somebody else. Oh and how do y'all feel about Buffy's reaction? Review please.
