A beginning and the annoying one. From thepowerplayers
The sex between Faith and I, earlier, had been a reflex and had caused many reflex responses. I couldn't say that the act itself hadn't been good. Okay, I couldn't say that having sex with Faith hadn't been great, but our timing left something to be desired, with dead slayers down stairs, waiting to be picked up by Council choppers.
Buffy's reflex response was to lecture me about that bad timing, but in reality, I knew, Faith knew that this was all about me giving up on Buffy. Buffy stormed off and Spike, ever her white knight, which pissed me off, followed.
Connor, Gunn and two slayers, one that had been in the fight earlier and survived, had come in, along with Xander, who looked at me with extreme hatred, before he rushed upstairs when finding where Buffy's little sister was. The two slayers, jada, who was working with Gunn and Melissa, who was working with my son, left and I felt secure that they would be safe, because most of the demons that had fled the alley had been killed, at least according to Gunn and Connor. Wesley and Illyria were still out there, which also didn't bode well for the demons.
And once again, with the exception of Dawn and Xander upstairs, Faith and I were left alone to talk about what we had done, and Buffy's reaction to what we had done. I didn't lie to her. It bothered me that I had hurt Buffy so much. Anytime where my dumbass managed to hurt Buffy, it would bother me. I was also honest with Faith in that I would always care for Buffy, and that while the sex with her had been great, I wasn't sure if I was ready for it to be anything more then that.
Faith too had been honest and told me that she would give me whatever time I needed to make a decision about a relationship with her. Faith had come a long way and it made me so proud. In older times, she would have blown me off, like whatever, had I told her that truth, but instead, she kissed me, and I realized that Faith was available to me now. Before, I had been blinded by love for Buffy, or even Cordy, but not anymore. Before, Faith had been somebody that I wanted to help, only now, she didn't need my help and obviously wanted me in other ways.
When she kissed me and caressed me, she made the decision easy for me. I could have sex with her without losing my soul, although I didn't know if that would last if my feelings got too intense for her, and she understood me as well. There was no Spike baggage like there would be with Buffy.
With another kiss, I told her that I was ready to be involved with her and right as I did, the annoying one, the peroxided one walked in and he was without Buffy, which raised some alarms in me.
"Spike, where the hell is Buffy? Shouldn't you be watching her back when there could be a lot of demons out there tonight?"
I noticed the fat lip and knew how he had received it. It made me smile. I barely noticed that Dawn and Xander were going out alone, but before I could say anything, before Spike could say anything, they were gone.
"Nice fat lip. Let me guess, she really wanted to hit me, but you opened your big mouth about Faith and I and she let you have it?"
