BunnyBreath is back people!! Woohooooooo. Uh-huh. Anyway, still slow as hell with updates. But I finally found the time with a whole break and plus, its a snow day! Not like I'm going anywhere soon. Froze my chin off outside. Yea and I was lacking inspiration, I mean like dude I had no idea what I wanted to happen next lol, my own cliffhanger had me hanging. Yup, so I'm just gonna wing it, just roll with it. (Oh yea for some weird reason on AFF sometimes it takes my words and cuts them in half and repeats them twice its really weird. Just ignore it sorry.)

Chapter Sixteen:
Over and Over Again

"Faye?"

Silence.

"Faye? What are you d-"

"Don't 'Oh Faye!' me!" She snapped in a mocking tone.

How can I be strong I've asked myself
Time and time I've said
That I'll never fall in love with you again

Leaning up slightly and letting the light comforter slide down around his waist, Spike ran a hand through his curly mop, slightly disoriented. The light that filtered throughout the room made him squint. Faye never was the quiet type, but did she have to be so loud, so early?

"Don't get your panties in a bunch and tell me whats up." Spike whispered groggily. He sure as hell wasn't in the mood for whatever she was about to say. Figures, getting the best sex in your life had to have come with a price.

Taking the crumbled up piece of paper she threw it at him, letting it bounce off his face and into his lap. Rolling his eyes at her childishness and picked it up and unraveled it. Letting his eyes skim over the beat up letter and sighed and fell back onto the pillows once more. Just his luck. He could have sworn he had gotten rid of the letter. Oops. To late now cowboy.

"Will you do anybody with a vagina and nice legs? Feed us some lines, play off our emotions. Bag us then get rid of us?"

"No, Faye, look you have the wrong idea. Where does it say on this letter 'Gee Spike great sex, maybe next time I can get it up the ass!' " Spike half joked half pleaded with her. Not completely awake and ready to deal with her wrath he reached over to his nightstand and pulled the whole pack over with him. He was gonna need it. Lighting up and inhaling the sweet smoke, Spike was finally able to relax.

" That is the most crude humor I have ever heard in my entire life. What the hell was she doing in here in the first place? And don't you dare lie to me, Spike Spiegel!" Crossing her arms securely around her chest she sat there, pissed off. Sitting in a pile of dirty, smelly clothes didn't really help her pissed off expression, which brought a smirk to Spike's lips.

"It didn't mean anything. It was a mistake." His soulful eyes blazed into her hurt jade irises. He wanted to make her understand. It just happened. It was like one of those slow-motion movies were you see whats happening and you know it's wrong but it won't stop.

"Ever-y fuck-ing time!" Faye spoke to herself, taking her right hand and smacking herself repeatedly in the forehead. "Men are such scum, I know this. Yet somehow, they manage to trick me every single fucking time!"

I came from a place that hurts
And God knows how I've cried
And I never want to return
Never fall again

Leaning over on all fours, Spike reached down off of the bed and grabbed her wrist ceasing her destructive actions. Sighing, he took her surprisingly wet chin and squeezed it between his thumb and forefinger. He wasn't sure when the silent tears had begun to fall. Leaning in he kissed her on the lips softly. Nothing less, nothing more. His eyes fluttered open to see her sitting there on her hands and knees with her lids shut, and tears rolling down her pale cheeks.

"No," She said silently shaking her head," I can't do this anymore. Who's next Edward!?"

Leaning back slightly surprised, Spike blanched. "Ew, Faye, That's disgusting. Im not some pedophile. I made a mistake cut me some slack. It's not like you have ever done something you wanted to take back before."

"This is different."

"Is it?" He asked, leaning closer. She shivered, feeling his moist breath hovering next to her ear. "Why are you so mad, Faye? We didn't even have anything going on at the time. The truth of the matter is, the whole time I was thinking about you. you

Swiping the back of her hand and arm across her tear stained face, Faye sniffled. She was tired, so tired, of being used. Tired of being second best. She leaned back to stare into his face, which had a peaceful look upon it as his eyes closed and he took in a deep breath of air. Letting it flow out of his nostrils slowly he began his next sentence.

"I-I think that I-" Spike licked his lips. It wasn't supposed to be this hard to say when he had said it so many times before to ..her," I think I love you Faye."

Silence.

So here we are alone again
Didn't think it would come down to this
And to know it all began
With just a little kiss

"What do you mean you you love me, Lunkhead?" She questioned, a glare in her eye.

"I do. I do love you. I don't think. I know." A cocky smirk made its was to his face. She couldn't resist. Could she?

Getting up from her spot on the floor, she gathered what she had been looking for originally. Scratching the back of her head as if thinking quite hard about something she leaned over and kissed him again. It was a searing kiss, explaining how she felt without having to say it. It was rough and wild. Everything she was to him. Breaking the kiss once more she gave him a slow smile and get her hand linger on his cheeks. Walking out of the room, she shut the door behind her.

Groaning, Spike collapsed back onto the bed, only to fall asleep once more.

Making love to you
Felt so good
And oh so right


_______________________________________________________________

Le tting Spike's door shut behind her, Faye leaned against it and let her head fall back. He had told her he loved her. The exact words she had been waiting, no, yearning to hear for God knows how long. Yet she couldn't even say anything back. She wanted to, so bad. But it wasn't fair to him. Was it really right of her to tell him she loved him, when all she was going to do was die on him sooner or later?
Sliding off the door she continued down the hall to the bathroom, were she shed her clothes and continued to turn on the shower. She was laughing inwardly at the irony of the situation at hand. It was a total role reversal. Just about a couple of months ago the same drama was unfolding. She was in love with him, only he was on the suicide mission that time. Saving her from the pain of mourning his death. Both had pasts that had came back and bit them in the asses. Laughter escaped her lips. If her life wasn't on the line, the situation would be actually pretty funny. Exact same scenario. Exact.

I've come roo close to happiness
To have it swept away
Don't think I can take the pain
No never fall again

Stepping into the shower she let the warm water run down her body. Shrugging off the voice n her head telling her that Spike was alive though, he had overcome his obstacle. But it wasn't only that though. The proverbial shit had hit the proverbial fan. She had found out about his and Electra's secret affair. ǘ thats what all the banging and thumping was that night. Thank God I didn't get up to check it out.' though giggling inwardly.

Enjoying the rest of her shower, maybe even her last, she dried off and went in search of Edward. About to set foot in the galley, she stopped dead in her tracks. Staring at the oddest sight she had ever seen before she stood there amazed. Ed was covered head to toe in a dark brown gooey substance, which covered the entire kitchen too. She was standing atop of a bottle that had 'Syrup' scrolled across it in script.

Ein pawed into the room and leaned down to sniff the substance when Edward scrambled over to him and screamed "No Ein-doggy! Oogy gooey stuff will give you icky worms!" She screech in a spooky worms as she wiggled her fingers the emphasize her point. Faye watched with wide eyes as Ed chased a yelping Ein out of the room screaming, "Squirmy wormies! WOOOO!!"

Deciding against stepping foot in the room, Faye beckoned Ed over with her neatly polished nail.

"I need you to do me a favor okay Edward?" She watched as Ed nodded her head up and down. "Go on your Tomato and I want you to find out for me what the cryogenic freezing clinic and the Black Panther syndicate have in relations with each other, ASAP okay? I'm going out, contact me on the comm. when you get the information."

"Okay Dokey Captain Faye-Faye! Will you bring Edward a souvanier?"

"Yea sure, whatever just get the information quick," Patting Ed on the head one last time she spun on her heel ready to leave when she turned to Ed one last time, "Oh, and Ed? When Spike gets up, tell him I said 'I'm not going there to die. I'm going to see if I was ever really alive.' Thanks kid."

And with that, she was gone.

Say you love me
God knows I do, I love you again
