Goodmorning, Valentinesimon_ordainedFebruary 14 2010, 18:12:52 UTC
By the time Faith wakes up on Valentines Day, Simon is out of the bed - not something terribly uncommon - but the still hot breakfast sitting where he normally lays certainly is. There's a distinct lack of a note, but there is a perfectly placed rose next to it. Whatever will she do?

She reaches over to feel for Simon, something that became habit when she wasn't looking, that expecting him to be there, and she nearly knocks over the glass of orange juice instead. Thanks to some Slayer reflexes she manages to keep it from doing more than splashing a drop or two on the tray and a slow smile spreads over her features. "Si?"
She grabs the croissant and juice, moving her feet to the side of the bed to stand up. It's not as easy as it used to be and she feels the baby kick when she shifts. If Si won't come to her, she'll just have to hunt him down. She's good at that afterall.
The flowers are gorgeous and she can appreciate them in the way only a person that isn't accustomed to getting flowers can. Her smile just gets a little bit wider as she continues her search for her missing fiancee man.
If she should search in the bedroom again, she might just see a box of chocolates, also with her name written in Simon's tidy scrawl, this time on the top.
Faith blames the fact that she's big as a house for Simon's ability to keep getting around her, that, or the fact that she sleeps like the dead when she can. She sees the chocolates, opening the box to grab one and then moves to the hallway. "Where are you, Marcelli? Don't you wanna get thanked good and proper for all this hard work of yours?"
He might have also bribed some of the girls to help him out with the sneaking. And she's not as big as a house, she's just perfect. Anyway, if she makes it to the kitchen, she'll find strawberries, roses, and a coupon for a massage which is scheduled in just over an hour from now.
"You're crazy, you know that?" He must be to go to all this effort. If her eyes are a little damp she'll sure as hell blame hormones for it because she's not about to cry over all this like some stupid female. "You're not helpin' with the weight thing here."
Change in tactics. It's effective. Distraction. And wow but those strawberries taste good. She might pause long enough to finish one off before grabbing another.
"Sorry, worth more than my skin to tell you, I'm just today's chauffeur, so just, pop on over to my apartment when you're ready to go and I'll drive you down to the spa,"
"Startin' to get the feelin' he's avoidin' me." She shook her head and walked back to her bedroom to throw on actual clothes. Once she was dressed and her hair was brushed, Faith walked the three doors over to Jane's and knocked. "Let's get this show on the road."
"I would qualify it more as plotting," she corrected with a smile and took herself out of the apartment to wait, and then smiled as Faith followed through and she didn't have to go to Plan B - which would have been significantly more complicated.
So she used the directions Simon had printed out for her and delivered the slayer to the Spa as planned. "Call me when you're done, gonna go hit the bookstore,"
"Whoa, what? You're leavin' me here?" She felt like she was being set up for something she wasn't entirely comfortable with. Vamps she could handles. Demons, no problem. This? This was way out of her comfort zone.
