I can't believe I slept in. I'm running my ass off the Giles'. Ugh…I couldn't stay asleep last night. I kept dreaming about kissing Faith. Just when it would get really good, I'd wake up in a cold sweat and when I'd fall sleep again, it'd be a different situation but still ending with cold sweat. I burst through Giles' door and everyone looks up at me. Giles is in his chair. Anya and Xander on the couch. Spike and Willow sitting by the kitchen counter and Faith on the ground in front of the TV. She turns around last and our eyes meet. I'm suddenly met with flashback of us in the bathroom. Me sitting on the sink as Faith pulled my pants down. Never taking her eyes away from mine. The moans and heavy breathing fill my head.

"Buffy, good of you to join us."

We both snap out of it and look down.

"Sorry Giles. I couldn't really sleep."

Willow walks over to me and hands me a cup of coffee.

"Bad dreams?"

I look at her and smile. Before I sip my coffee I whisper.

"Not quite"

After hours of pleas for forgiveness and our stomachs bursting with cookies, we all decide to go home. I couldn't help but notice that the whole time, Faith didn't even talk. She didn't even look at me. As we make our way out, I look at Faith heading in the opposite direction of our dorms.

"Wills, can I just meet you back at the dorm?"

She nods and gives me a smile. What was that smile for? I run a little to catch up to Faith. When I get close enough to not scream I call out to her.

"Faith."

She turns around, hands in pockets, eyes on the ground. I need know if she remembers what happened too. She glances up at me, sighs, and straightens up.

"Hey B."

She's actually looing at me now. Good.

"Where you heading to?"

She nods over her shoulder.

"Just getting something to much on and some coffee."

I let out a little laugh.

"You think you could still eat after all those forgiveness cookies Willow made?"

She pulls out a cigarette but instead of lighting it, she puts it behind her ear.

"There's really nothing to forgive. Nobody died right?"

She chuckles and then adds

"Not that I would've noticed."

I look down at my feet and fidget with my hands.

"So you remember everything?"

She nods her head. There's a long pause she takes a couple of steps towards me slowly, bites her bottom lip then looks me in the eyes.

"I really think we need to talk about what happened."

I nod my head, never leaving he eyes.

"How about some coffee at the Espresso Pump after tomorrow's meting at Giles'? My treat."

She gives me one of those smiles that makes me go all tingly from head to toe.

"Kay"

That was the only word I could get out but I do give her a smile of my own.

You know, if you actually think about it, it seems like Buffy's got a thing for me…nah! Here I am, at the Espresso Pump, 5 empty plastic coffee cups and one still in my hand. I've been sitting her for well over 3 hours just thinking about her. I don't know what to think anymore. She seems straight as an arrow. Yet when I catch her looking at me when nobody's paying attention, it's like she's begging me to look at her, put my undivided attention on her. I look over at the clock on the wall. Sunset is soon. I get up and head out to get me some slayage. I'll pass on the Bronze again tonight. The whole time I'm out slaying, Buffy is still the only thing I can think about. I only get 2 camps out of all the cemeteries I go to. What a bust. As I'm walking the stairs up to my dorm room, I feel this tingling warm feeling in my stomach. I look down the hall on the floor that I'm on. B and Red's hall. I debate on whether or not to stop by. She's probably out on patrol. I make it on more level up and unlock my door. I get changed and lay in bed. As I lay there and close my eyes, all I can see is her face. My skin starts to burn where she touched me when we were under Willow's spell. I touch my back where I have scratches on my shoulders. I sigh and turn on my side. I've never felt this strongly for somebody before. It'll just get worse if I keep my feelings hidden from her and what if she does feel the same. Okay Faith, tomorrow morning, as soon as we go to the Espresso Pump, you tell her how you feel. You tell her everything. I slip into sleep with a determined smile on my face.
