Chapter 4


Faith stepped out of the shower cold and wet. She toweled herself off and
reached for a clean set of clothes, only there weren't any.

"Damn," Faith cursed, looking at the pile of dirty clothes she'd thrown in
the corner.

The brunette thought about walking out in just a towel, but she knew Buffy'd
probably kill her for that. Running her hand through her hair and wrapping
the towel around her body, Faith opened the bathroom door just a crack.

"Umm, I kinda forgot my clothes!" Faith shouted.

"What do you want us to do about it?" Buffy laughed.

"Well, unless you want me to come out there stark naked, I suggest someone
hand me something to wear."

"Do you think she's serious?" Willow asked.

"I dunno, but do you really wanna find out?" Buffy asked in return.

"No."

"Neither do I," Buffy said as she started to get out of bed, but Dawn was
already at the bathroom door.

"What do you want me to get?" Dawn smiled, her hands in her pockets.

"Something in leather would be nice," Faith answered.

"Cool, where do I look."

"Under the bed in my sports bag. Grab the red pants and the white top, and
whatever underwear you find."

Dawn blushed and hurried away, reaching under the bed to grab the hefty
sports bag. The red pants and the white top were easy enough, but the
underwear, well, the black lacy underwear posed a problem.

Dawn couldn't believe Faith wore underwear like that, I mean, how
comfortable could it be. On top of that, the brunette Slayer wore the
tightest clothes out of anybody she knew.

After about a minute of stalling, Dawn finally got the courage and grabbed
the underwear and headed back to the bathroom.

"Here." Dawn handed Faith the clothes as she turned her head to avoid
seeing anything embarrassing.

"Thanks Sunshine," Faith smiled as she took her clothes.

"Are you actually gonna sleep in those leather pants?" Dawn asked, just as
Faith was about to close the door.

"Well, normally, I sleep buck-naked, but since I'm sharing the bed with you
tonight, I don't think Big Sis would like that."

"Oh," Dawn blushed.

"Yeah," Faith agreed. "Thanks again for getting the clothes."

"No problem," Dawn shrugged, as Faith closed the door.

Dawn walked happily back to the bed, as Buffy eyed her awkwardly.

"So, did she like her leather pants?" Buffy drawled.

"What do you care?" Dawn shot back.

"Down Lassie," Buffy joked.

"Buffy." Willow admonished.

"Hey, just cuz you can't wear leather, doesn't make you better than her,"
Dawn seethed.

"I can 'so' wear leather," Buffy replied.

"Then why don't you?"

"Cuz, it's too tight."

"And those skimpy little tops you wear, aren't?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing," Dawn smirked.

"Okay," Willow waved her hands in the air, "I think we all just need to calm
down here."

"I am calm," Buffy muttered.

"Sure, in a non-calm kinda way, but I was thinking more along the lines of
not fighting with your sister," Willow babbled.

"Who's fighting?" Dawn smiled, crossing her arms and sitting down on the
empty bed.

"Not me," Buffy added acidly.

"Uh huh, so why don't we keep it that way," Willow said, placing her hand on
Buffy's shoulder to hopefully hold her back.

"Fine with me," Dawn smirked.

"Me too," Buffy stated, eyeing Dawn.

As Willow was about to add to the tension-filled air, Faith walked out, her
dark hair still wet, and white tank-top slightly damp.

"What's goin' on?" Faith asked casually as she plopped down next to Dawn on
the bed and draped an arm around the younger girl's shoulder.

"Nothing," Buffy responded, moving her eyes to Faith. "Aren't you gonna
blow dry your hair?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Cuz, it feels nicer wet," Faith purred, running her right hand down the
length of her hair.

"You'll get a headache," Buffy warned.

"Whatever," Faith rolled her eyes, before turning her head and playfully
tousling Dawn's hair.

"Why so quiet Sunshine? Was Big Sis tormenting you again?" Faith asked.

"Kinda," Dawn smiled sheepishly.

"Why do you always ask her that?" Buffy growled. "She's the one that
torments me!"

"Is that true?" Faith asked Dawn.

"No," Dawn answered.

"Of course she's gonna say no," Buffy argued.

"Of course she's gonna say no," Dawn mimicked, sticking her tongue out.

"Why you little," Buffy snarled as she jumped from her bed to Dawn's, but
Faith expertly placed herself between Dawn and the pouncing Slayer, catching
the blonde in her arms before she could do any damage.

"Let me go," Buffy whined, as she tried to reach her sister.

"Why? So you can attack Sunshine? Won't that just darken the day?" Faith
drawled, wrapping her arms around the Slayer's waist, pulling her close,
before turning and placing Buffy on the edge of the bed, opposite Dawn.

Dawn couldn't help but smile as her sister fought with Faith to get loose,
while Willow just giggled.

"Why do you always take her side?" Buffy complained, glaring at her
smirking sister.

"Cuz B, she doesn't have super powers like us," Faith explained, holding
onto Buffy's arm.

"So, she's still annoying."

"You're the annoying one!" Dawn shouted around Faith.

"Take it easy girls," Faith said, extending her arms to hold them back.
"How about we switch sleeping arrangements to solve our little problem?"

"What?" Dawn and Buffy asked together.

"Yeah, B can sleep with me so I can keep an eye on her. You know, so she
doesn't try anything in the middle of the night?"

"But what if she gets away and tries to strangle me?" Dawn argued.

"I'd never strangle you, too obvious," Buffy seethed, "but a pillow over the
face isn't out of the question."

"Don't worry, I won't let Princess go anywhere," Faith assured as she looped
her arm through Buffy's.

"We'll see about that," Buffy threatened.

"What if she has to go to the bathroom?" Willow giggled, burying herself in
the blankets.

"Then I'll go with her," Faith sighed.

"No you won't!" Buffy shouted, horrified.

"Fine, then you'll just have to blow up your bladder," Faith drawled, "Cuz
I'm the Sheriff of this little motel room, and only I, answer to me."

"That doesn't make any sense," Buffy pointed out.

Faith re-said the words in her head, coming to the realization that it did
indeed make no sense.

"Ok, then just forget I said it, Princess," Faith blushed.

"Your wish is my command." Buffy did a mini-bow using her right hand, her
left arm still looped with Faith's.

"If that's how you feel." Faith smirked.

"No, that's not how I feel, I was kidding."

"Damn, B. I had the best idea too."

"I'll bet," Buffy rolled her eyes."

"I guess you'll never find out then, too bad for you."

"Yup, too bad for me."

Dawn watched the interaction with irritation before moving up against Faith
and looping her arm with the brunette's free arm.

"What's up Sunshine?" Faith asked, surprised at the sudden contact.

"I was wondering," Dawn lowered her eyes, "could you take me shopping
tomorrow?" The younger girl looked up expectantly.

"I thought we were all going together?" Faith replied.

"Nope," Buffy shook her head, "There's no way I'm shopping with her."

"Why not?"

"Have you seen her try on clothes?"

"No."

"She tries on everything in the store 'and' the store next to it, before
deciding she doesn't need any new clothes."

"No I don't," Dawn said, sticking her tongue out at her sister.

"Oh, you know you do to," Buffy accused.

"At least I don't buy from the skanks 'r' us section," Dawn quipped.

Faith chuckled at the comment.

"What are you laughing at?" Buffy glared at her fellow Slayer.

"You two," Faith laughed. "Doesn't the sibling rivalry ever cool off?"

"No," Buffy and Dawn replied in unison.

"Well, I think Red's got the right idea," Faith said.

All eyes turned to see Willow snuggled comfortably in her bed and blankets
with her eyes closed.

"So, what do ya say, Baby?" Faith eyed Buffy lustily, "Wanna hit the sack?"

"Faith." Buffy tried to pull away, but was easily drawn back in by the
brunette, who expertly planted a wet kiss on the blonde's exposed neck, the
smacking sound loud enough to get even Willow's attention.

"Ugh," Buffy wiped her neck.

"What? Don't like my goodnight kisses?" Faith asked innocently before
poking the blonde in the side.

"Ack!" Buffy screamed, rolling over as Faith un-looped her left arm with
Dawn's and pounced on the blonde Slayer.

The giggling girls rolled around on the bed, fighting for tickling position
as Dawn watched with a frown and Willow flushed immensely.

Buffy somehow found herself straddling the brunette, her thighs tightly
pressed against Faith's hips, her hands holding the fellow Slayer's wrists
to the bed above her head, and her face oh so close to the dark-haired
beauty.

Both women panted, their lungs gasping for breath, and their heated skin
begging for contact.

As Buffy locked eyes with Faith, her heart stopped, and then started again
at a much faster pace. The strange feeling of desire rushing through her
body and the look of pain and hesitant lust evident in the other Slayer's
eyes, caught her off guard.

Faith's body was limp. She had lost all semblance of strength the moment
Buffy stared at her with those beautiful eyes. The eyes that were now
filled with horror, or betrayal, or maybe both. Right then, Faith knew she
had been caught.

Buffy tried to talk, her voice catching in her throat and her eyes giving
away too much. So she did what any normal teenage girl would do--look away.

Dawn and Willow watched the silent interaction from different perspectives.

Dawn's initial instinct was to tackle Buffy and take her out of the picture,
but she didn't, afraid she'd expose her own feelings for the brunette.

Willow, confused, and completely embarrassed, brought the covers over her
head and pretended like she didn't see anything.

As Buffy averted her eyes, loosened her grip on Faith's wrists and attempted
to roll off of her fellow Slayer, the brunette came to life, grabbing
Buffy's wrists, and pinning them to the bed.

Now straddling the petite blonde, Faith brought her hands down and began
mercilessly tickling the tiny Slayer, not allowing time for eye-contact or
awkward moments, just tickling.

"Stop, please! I give!" Buffy pleaded, between ragged breaths.

"Give what?" Faith teased.

"Up! I give up!"

"You're gonna have to do better than that, Princess," Faith smirked, still
applying the tickling.

Dawn grabbed her pillow and stalked off to the other side of Willow's bed,
grabbed Buffy's pillow and threw it over to the other bed, just missing both
women.

"Okay, okay," Buffy breathed, as Faith let up momentarily, "Anything. I'll
give you whatever you want!"

"Really?"

"Yes. Just get off me, please," Buffy begged, tears in her eyes, as she
weakly pushed at the other girl's hips.

"Okay," Faith conceded, "Just one more tickle though," Faith smiled as she
poked Buffy on both sides one last time, causing Buffy's body to thrust
upwards and knock Faith to the side.

To be continued.
