Chapter Seven

The night hadn�t gone exactly as expected.� Rather, it hadn�t gone quite as the previous
nights had.� Two a.m. came around and the
slayers found themselves sat at a corner booth, Faith with her back against the
wall and one leg rested up along the seat, and Buffy resting back against
Faith.� Faith had one arm up on the
table, holding her beer bottle, and her other arm was snug around Buffy�s
waist.

�I can�t believe I crashed this early,� Buffy said with a
yawn, watching the women on the dance floor with a glossy gaze.

�Yeah, me too.� I musta had a good
workout this afternoon or somethin.��
Faith answered, resting her chin on Buffy�s shoulder.

�I�ll say.�� Buffy
said with a grin, wrapping her arm gently over Faith�s.

They sat in silence, nursing their drinks while watching the
hubbub of the club around them.

�Do you find it weird that all of these women are dancing
and getting drunk and getting lucky, and we�re back here yawning and getting
all snuggly?�� Buffy asked with a little
smile.

Faith thought about it for a moment or two.

�Nah, I don�t find it weird, B.� To be perfectly honest, if I had come here
alone any other time, I probably would�ve left with someone by now.� I woulda danced and got tanked and got laid
too.�� She chuckled.

Buffy suddenly felt bad.�
She looked down at her hand as it played with Faith�s fingers and tried
to hide the apprehensive tone in her voice.

�So . . . you�re basically stopping yourself from having fun
because you�re here with me?� she asked, unsure and feeling rather
self-conscious now.

Faith answered quickly, not wanting Buffy to think even for
a moment that she had any regrets about where they were right now.

�That�s not it at all, B.�
I�ve been going out dancing and drinking and getting laid for more years
than I care to share.� But never have I
gotten �lucky�.� Right now, being here
with you, just chillin� and being close to you . . . I�ve finally gotten
lucky.�

Buffy turned and smirked at Faith.

�Oh, you are SO smooth.�
You�re good at this, you know that?�
And you�ll definitely be getting lucky again later, Smooth Operator.�

Faith smiled softly.� �Yeah?�

Buffy looked her in the eyes, losing her
smirk and suddenly feeling self-conscious again.

�Well, if you want to, I mean.� Cos I�m not much into using force these days,
and I . . . .�

�Shhhh,� Faith interrupted.� �Yeah, I want to.� A lot.��

Buffy smiled at Faith, instantly relaxing again.� �So . . . you wanna get out of here then?�

At that, Faith took Buffy�s beer bottle from her hand and
placed it on the table, helping the girl up from the booth before standing up
herself.

�After you.�

************************************************************************

Faith and Buffy lay panting on the floor of their hotel
room, their naked bodies hidden under masses of disheveled bed sheets.

�That was . . . that was . . . well, I didn�t think we�d
quite get to that yet.�� Buffy said
through deep breaths, her face flushed.�
She couldn�t hide the satisfied smile that crept up on her lips.

Faith poked her head out from under the sheets near Buffy�s
feet, rolling onto her back as she was panting just as hard.

�Well, B, it�s my firm belief that sixty-nining
is something that everyone should know and master.� Honestly, no one likes to be left out.� It�s the perfect solution.�� Faith responded with a grin.

Buffy laughed, then shimmied down under the blankets and
turned around so that she was lying alongside Faith, her head poking up from
under the covers to come face to face with the grinning girl.

�So tell me, Professor Faith:� do I get a passing grade for my first venture
into the sixty-nine-verse?� she asked, nuzzling her nose into the crook of
Faith�s neck.

�Nuh-uh-uh, B.� Yunno that good professors don�t release
grades until the end of the semester,� Faith joked.� �I, however, am NOT a good professor and can
be bribed pretty easily.�

Faith sighed happily, tilting her head to the side a bit as
Buffy began to kiss and nibble her neck softly.

�Bribes, you say?��
Buffy mumbled against Faith�s neck as she started to kiss and nibble
more enthusiastically.� �So, would you
tell me my grade if I do something like . . . oh, I don�t know . . . this?�

Buffy chose that moment to slide her fingertips slowly down
Faith�s still naked body, teasing them ever-so-softly around and over her sensitive
clit as she continued her ministrations on the girl�s neck.

�Oh fuck,� Faith whispered, licking her lips as she closed
her eyes and began panting again.�

She had already come just a few minutes before with Buffy,
leaving her extra sensitive.� Not to
mention the fact that she could still taste Buffy�s juices on her lips.� The circles that Buffy was now
rubbing over her clit, which began soft but increased in pressure and speed as
the moments went by, slowly began to make Faith unravel.

Faith raised her hips off of the floor, pushing against
Buffy�s hand as she neared her climax.

�Oh fuck, oh fuck,� she chanted again and again, hardly able
to contain herself anymore.

When Buffy decided at that very moment to bite slightly
harder on Faith pulse point, Faith jerked upwards, coming hard all over Buffy�s
hand.

Faith laid fully on her back again, temporarily spent after
coming so hard.� She was breathing heavy;
her eyes clenched shut as Buffy began to nuzzle her neck again.� Buffy slid her fingers from Faith�s wet folds
and rested her hand on the girl�s hip, pulling their bodies together even
closer.

After a few minutes passed and Faith�s breathing returned to
normal, Buffy kissed her neck softly again, kissing up to her ear before whispering,
�So, about that grade . . .�

Faith wrapped her arm over Buffy�s back, clinging tightly to
her so that Buffy could feel her chuckle.

�B, I�m thinking about giving you a full scholarship.�

Both girls laughed aloud as they wrapped around one another
again, prepared to spend yet another night in each others arms.

It was the only way either of them could sleep now.

************************************************************************

Dawn smiled as she walked down the hotel corridor, three large
mochas in a carrying tray in her hands.�
Mornings weren�t normally her favorite time of day, but that day was
different.� She was to have a big
discussion with Buffy about her future, and for once, she actually had a say in
it.

She hadn�t actually told Buffy that they�d be having the
meeting that morning, but she had been so excited the night before that she
wasn�t able to sleep.� As soon as they
could have their chat, she could start to plan and maybe even sleep again.

When she got to Buffy and Faith�s room, she knocked on the
door, cautious not to spill the tray of mochas in her arms.� After a few moments passed and there was no
answer, she moved to knock again, this time forgetting to be as cautious of the
scalding hot beverages in her hands.

Just as one of the disposable cups was about to fall, a maid
stepped over and grabbed it, putting her hand on Dawn�s arm t steady it.

�Careful, ni�a,
you don�t want to burn yourself.� Here,
I�ll open the door for you.�

The chubby little maid reached into her front apron pocket
and pulled out her key card, sliding it easily into the lock.�

Dawn thought about telling the nice maid that it wasn�t
actually her room for a moment or two, but in the end she remained quiet about
it as she knew that it was her easy way in.�
She flashed the maid a smile and said thank you as she backed into the
room, giving a tiny wave before closing the door shut quietly.

She closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief before
steadying herself again and turning around to wake Buffy and Faith . . .

. . . who happened to be sleeping
naked together on the floor among a heap of blankets, seemingly unaware of
their unannounced visitor.

Dawn gasped involuntarily, her right hand flying up to her
mouth to muffle the noise.� Her hand, however,
smacked the side of the tray on the way up to her mouth, catapulting the three
cups of mocha across the room and against the wall.

�Dawn!�� Buffy sat up
quickly, pulling the sheet up to her neck to avoid exposing herself even more.

�Buffy!�� Dawn yelped,
using both of her free hands now to cover her eyes.� �I�m blind now!� I have no more eyesight, and I�m blind!�� The teenager whined as she tried to back her
way to the door.

�You are not blind.��
Buffy said, her voice even.

�Yes I am!�� Dawn said,
moving her hands from her eyes and peeking over at the floor again.

�Why do I smell coffee?��
Faith mumbled from behind Buffy, sitting up without realizing she was
still naked and that they had a guest in the room.� She stretched and rubbed her eyes, then
looked up to find Dawn glaring down at them.�
�Oh shit!� She yelped and pulled the sheet up to her chest, not
realizing until it was too late that it was the sheet covering Buffy�s lower
half.

Buffy made a loud �gahhhh� sound
as she frantically grabbed for something to cover herself up with, playing
tug-o-war with Faith over the last remaining sheet.

�I am not seeing this!��
Dawn screeched as she tried to feel for the door handle with her eyes
clenched shut, trying hard not to stumble over the mess of shoes near the
doorstep.

�You guys are paying for my counseling!�� Dawn yelled as she finally found the door
handle and let herself out of the room, the door closing quietly behind her.

Buffy sighed and fell back onto the floor, the sheets
tangled between her and Faith.�

�Is counseling expensive?��
She asked with a chuckle.

Faith shrugged.� �Dunno, it was free in prison.� Maybe we could send her there,� she joked.

Buffy rubbed her eyes and signed again, finally peeking one
eye open to look over at Faith.� �Well .
. . at least she didn�t stab your boot.�

The two girls laughed a little at the joke, then let silence
fall around them again.� Buffy was
surprised to find that she wasn�t freaking out about Dawn seeing what was going
on between her and Faith.� It was the
least of her problems, she thought.� In
fact, she wasn�t even too worried if anyone else found out.� She was an adult, and she could make adult
decisions.

And whether or not she slept with Faith was definitely an
adult decision; one she didn�t regret making, at that.

After a few moments, Faith got up and tossed on some clothes.
She began straightening the sheets up, the smell of the mochas making her
thirsty for her morning coffee.� Buffy
remained on the floor in her single blanket now, not wanting to start her day
yet.

She was roused to reality when she heard Faith grumbling
from across the room.

�You Summers chicks really need to take some coordination
lessons or something.�

�What?�� Buffy asked,
confused.

She sat up to find Faith holding up her new leather jacket
she had just purchased, mocha dripping off of it as it dangled in the air.

Buffy covered her mouth to hide the laughter that was coming
out of her.� �Oh, that�s classic,� she laughed.

Faith snickered.�
�Yeah, well, I�m taking the money out of YOUR scholarship to replace it,
Blondie.�� She tossed the jacket into the
bathroom and walked over to Buffy, holding out her hands to the girl.� Buffy grabbed onto them and let Faith pull
her up.� She welcomed the hug that Faith
gave her, wrapping her arms tight around her in response.

�Coffee, shower, then salvaging what�s
left of your sister�s innocence.� That�s
today�s plan.� You get in the shower, and
I�ll get the coffee.�� Faith mumbled against
Buffy�s shoulder before kissing her cheek softly.

Buffy watched as Faith walked to the door and put on her
shoes, then as she walked out of the door.�
She bit her lip, then yelled out, �So I�m guessing this means we can�t
pretend that we were playing naked slumber party?�

************************************************************************

Buffy knocked tentatively on Dawn�s door, freshly showered
and ready to take on the day.� She
laughed to herself when Dawn answered the door wearing a very big, dark pair of
sunglasses.

�Who is it?�� Dawn
asked, feigning blindness.� �I would have
looked through the peephole, except, yunno . . . BLIND now.�

Buffy raised an eyebrow at her.� �You are not blind.� Scarred, maybe.� But definitely not blind.� And before you ask, you CANNOT have a
seeing-eye dog.�

Dawn scoffed and closed the door behind Buffy, taking off
her sunglasses and placing them by the entrance table.

�I see you naked and you can�t even give me five minutes to
be blind?� Typical.�� She crossed her arms over her chest and
stared off into the distance.

Buffy sat down on Dawn�s bed, trying hard not to give in to
the teenager�s tantrum.

�It�s not typical, Dawn.�
There�s no use fighting over it; it�s over and done with now.� Time to move on.��

Dawn pouted a bit and sat on the bed opposite Buffy,
realizing that her sister was right.

�So, what . . . being a slayer wasn�t enough to make you
different, so you have to be gay now too?��
Dawn asked, still pouting but keeping a light-hearted tone to her voice
so that Buffy would know she wasn�t too upset over the whole thing.

Buffy laughed a little, though she was trying to be as
serious as possible.�

�Gay?� No.� Willow
is gay, Dawn.� Kennedy is gay.� I�m just . . .�

�Having sex with Faith in a very �non-gay� way?�� Dawn finished for her, making a face as she
said it.� �Buffy, I�m not five anymore.� Two girls having sex equals
GAY.�

Buffy thought about it for a minute.

�No, I . . . I don�t really know how to explain it.� We just . . . I mean, it just happened.�

�Like you and Spike �just happened?�� Dawn asked, genuinely
unsure of what Buffy meant.

�No, not like that.�� Buffy answered, her brows furrowed as she
recalled that time in her life.� �Definitely
not like that.�

Buffy took a few moments to collect her thoughts before
continuing.

�Dawn, after slayers fight, we get this huge . . . burst of
adrenaline, of sorts.� The
bigger the fight, the bigger the burst.�
And you have to do something to take the edge off.� Yunno, exert energy, eat . . .�

�Hungry and horny, right?�� Dawn interrupted again, trying to get her
sister to stop rambling.

Buffy laughed again.�
�You know, sometimes I forget that you used to read my diary when you
were younger.�

Dawn shrugged, �Yeah, well I didn�t get an allowance, and it
was cheaper than reading Cosmo.�

Buffy smiled, suddenly feeling proud of her sister and of
the person she was turning into.�

�So, yes.� Faith and I have been . . .�

�WAIT!�� Dawn
interrupted.� �Listen, I don�t need to
know the dirty details.� Therapy is
expensive and I STILL don�t get an allowance.�
As long as we still get to, yunno . . . plan the future and stuff, you
can keep . . . doing what you�re doing.�

�Of course, Dawn.�
What Faith and I are� . . . doing . . . isn�t going to change the
fact that it�s time for you to finally get something that you want.�

�Well, good then.�� Dawn responded, relaxing a bit more.

�Great then.�� Buffy said back, also relaxing a bit
more.� �So,� Buffy began, moving so that
she was sitting Indian-style facing Dawn, �what exactly is it that you�d like
to do?�

Dawn smiled big and faced Buffy, mimicking her position, the
last few moments seemingly lost in her mind.

�I don�t suppose that you�d let me give up on the whole
�school� thing to travel, right?�� She
asked hopefully.

Buffy raised an eyebrow.�
�Don�t even think about it,� she said plainly.

�Right.� So, maybe we can�t travel.� But that doesn�t mean that we can�t go
someplace new and exciting, does it?�

�I guess not,� Buffy said after thinking about it for a
moment or two.� She looked over and
noticed a book sitting by Dawn�s pillow, so she reached over and pulled it onto
her lap, casually thumbing through it.�
�Loving Italy,�
Buffy read aloud from the title page.�
She stopped and looked up at Dawn.�
�Is this where you�re getting your ideas from?�

Dawn smiled.� �It may
have aided in my search,� she said casually.�
�Between the book and the internet, I�ve been a total research junkie
since last night.� See,� she scrambled
across the bed and sat next to Buffy, flipping the book to a dog-eared page, �Rome has these really
good semi-private schools that are really liberal and cool.� You can make your schedule so that you only
have to go to class like three days a week.�

Buffy pushed the book flat onto the bed and gave Dawn a
stern look.

�Dawn, we are not hauling our butts all the way to Italy so that
you can have a 3-day school week.�

Dawn laughed, excited.�
�No, that�s not the only reason.�
I mean . . . hello, big perk.� But
still . . . you can pick areas of focus to study.� You still have to take all of the regular
classes to graduate, but you can put a focus on History or Literature, stuff
like that.� I figure that if I take a focus
in History and do really well . . . I dunno, maybe
some day I could be a Watcher.� And . . .pizza, Buffy.� You
love pizza.� Italy is the mother of pizza!�

Buffy smiled at her sister, feeling a bit excited herself at
the prospect of a whole new start on life.

�Well, I do love
pizza.� And I think you�d make an
excellent Watcher, Dawn.� So long as
you�re fray-adjacent, I�m okay with that idea.�

Dawn beamed, jumping up and down as she sat on the bed.

�Does that mean we can go?!?�

Buffy smiled.� �I�ll
talk to Giles and Angel about it, see if we can swing it financially.� As long as there�s no problem there . . . I
foresee us eating lots of spaghetti and lasagna in the near future-gahhhhhh!�

Buffy couldn�t even finish her sentence for being tackled by
a very excited Dawn.�

It was almost official; the plans were set.� Now all she had to do was finalize things
with Giles and Angel and she could set things in motion.

Freedom had never been so exciting yet so scary at the same
time.

************************************************************************

An hour later, Buffy found herself walking into Angel�s
office where he was having a meeting with Giles.

�Ah, Buffy, you�re up earlier than usual.�� Giles greeted while sipping from his
obligatory cup of tea.

�What can I say?�� She
began.� �I was mobbed by an excited
teenager who�s dead-set on going to some �great� school in Italy.� There�s no sleeping through that.� The screeching is a really haunting sound.�

�Italy?�� Giles questioned.� �I have to agree, there are some excellent
schools in Italy.� Not to mention that you happen to love
pizza.�� He gave Buffy a little smile.

�Anyhow,� Buffy continued, �I told her that so long as we
could manage the financial aspects, it sounded like a good plan.� So . . . is it a good plan?�� She asked, a small
grin on her face.

�Buffy, if it�s what the both of you want, you know you have
my full support.� I don�t have the funds
to give you from my own pocket, but I�m sure that the accounts of the old
council remain intact.� I�ll make a few
calls and see if we can�t make a few withdrawals to set us all in the right
direction.�

�Thanks, Giles.��
Buffy said gratefully.� �Speaking
of the right direction, when do you leave for England?�

�I was just discussing that with Angel, actually.� It�s best that I get on my way soon.� Angel is going to run things here while I�m
gone, at least until I can arrange where we�ll be sending the new slayers,
etcetera.� I assume that I�ll be heading
back within the next few days, sooner if needed.�

Buffy smiled, �I know you�re going to do a great job with
the Council, Giles.� It should have been
you from the beginning.� I know that the
girls will be safe under your watch.�

In true Giles fashion, he removed his glasses and cleaned
them with his hanky, clearing his throat.�
�I appreciate that, Buffy.� Thank
you.�

Angel finally spoke up.

�You�re going to love Italy, Buffy.� I�ll make sure that everything is tended to
here.� The girls that remain can have
room and board until the new council decides where to send them, and I�ll make
sure to continue their training and education as best as I can with the
resources I have.�

�Thanks, Angel.� I
don�t mind staying around for a bit though if you need my help.� Dawn can put up with another few weeks . . .�

�No, it�s okay, Buffy.��
Angel interrupted.� �You deserve
some time off.� Make your plans, and I�ll
take care of things on this end.�

Buffy smiled.� �I
guess I should tell Dawn the good news then.�

With that, she left Giles and Angel to their meeting.� She�d stop by Dawn�s room to let her know
that she could finalize her plans, and then she�d find a way to tell Faith.

Her stomach suddenly lurched and she wasn�t exactly sure
why.� Part of her, however, was sure it
was because she wasn�t quite ready to leave yet.

Rather, she wasn�t yet ready to leave behind what she seemed
to have with Faith.

************************************************************************

Buffy entered her room to find Faith on the telephone.� She paused at the doorway, not knowing if she
should give the girl some privacy.

Faith looked up at her and smiled, waving her into the room
while giving her the �one minute� signal.

�Yeah, I will.� I
know, Grams, I�ll be careful.�

�Grams?� Buffy thought.� She had always been under the assumption that
Faith didn�t have any family, and now there was suddenly a Grams?

�I�ll give you a call a day before I leave, and don�t worry
about finding a ride for me; I can take a cab from the airport . . . . okay, take care, and I�ll talk to you soon.�

With that, Faith hung up the phone and swung her legs up
over the side of the bed so that she cold rest back properly.

�Sorry about that, B.�
Just trying to get some things taken care of while you
were out.�� Faith apologized as
she scooted over on the bed, leaving some space for Buffy to join her.

Buffy kicked off her shoes and walked over to the bed,
happily taking her spot at Faith�s side.�
Faith pulled her close so that they were lying with their stomachs
touching and their legs tangled up together.

�So . . . Grams, huh?� I didn�t know you had a grandmother.�� Buffy hedged, not wanting to be too full-on.

�Oh, she�s not actually my real Grams, B.� She just took me in when the wolves abandoned
me at her doorstep.�� She grinned and
looked down at the now blushing Buffy before kissing the top of her head.� �Of course I have a grandma, B.� I even had two at one point.� After my Dad split and my Ma died, she pretty
much took me under her wing.�

�I never knew that.��
Buffy said, looking up into Faith�s eyes.� �How come you didn�t . . .� her voice trailed
off.

�Go back to her after I got into trouble?� Well . . . I guess I didn�t wanna bring my
shit on her, B.� She�s a sweet lady,
yunno?� I was a real handful for her
those last two years or so.� Figured she
wouldn�t want me back cos I was a screwed up and junk.�

Buffy nodded, trying to understand.

�So . . . why are you going back now then?��

Faith smiled sadly, looking over Buffy�s shoulder.

�I have a lot of stuff I need to fix, B.� I didn�t exactly leave a clean trail in my
wake, yunno?� I hurt people, left some
high and dry.� If I wanna get on with my
life, I need to clean up my own mess and try to build from there.� And come to find out, Grams has been trying
to find me for some time now.� She
thought I ran away cos she grounded me or some shit like that.� She�s happy I called.�

Buffy chuckled.� �I
foresee lots of oatmeal raisin cookies in your future.�

Faith laughed, �Yeah, something like that.� Anyhow, Grams isn�t in the best of health . .
. she�s legally blind and needs a cane to get around.� I figure she can use a bit of help, and I�m
all about the good deeds these days.�

�She�s lucky to have you,� Buffy said softly, looking into
Faith�s eyes.

�You just wanna unload me on someone else,� Faith said and
laughed as Buffy pinched her butt.� Once
they settled down, Faith spoke again.�
�So, how did it go with Dawnie?�

�Fairly well, I suppose.�
She found a school she wants to go to, and I think it will be good for
her.� We�ll probably leave after Giles
can send us some funds.� Probably a week or so.�

Faith smiled.

�Wicked, B.� Hey, where ya
headed to?� Maybe we�ll be able to visit
if you�re . . .�

�Italy.�� Buffy interrupted, saying the word with a bit
of a sigh.

�. . . not across an ocean.�� Faith finished, trying to smile despite the
fact that her stomach had just dropped.

Buffy tried to sound lighthearted.� �Hey, what�s a
couple thousand miles and a fortune in airfare between friends?�

Faith smiled slightly.�
�Right, I�ll just put that on my Platinum Visa card they gave me in
prison.�

Her sarcasm wasn�t lost on Buffy.

�Hey,� Buffy began, trying to squash the suddenly somber
mood in the room, �it�s not like we won�t be able to still be friends.� We can call and email, and I�m sure that we
can make trips now and again to get together with everyone.�

Faith smiled, trying as hard as she could to make it look genuine
despite the fact that she was feeling suddenly miserable.

�Yeah, you�re right, B.�
We�ll still be friends.� It�ll be
. . . good.�

�Definitely.�� Buffy agreed, trying to sound convincing.

�Great.�

Faith and Buffy lay in silence after that, both pondering
what would happen to them between now and their trips, and subsequently what
would happen to them after that.

Despite being in one another�s arms, for the first time
since they got to LA, they both felt suddenly alone.
