This part of the chapter I’m dedicating to Edward Wong Pepelu Truvrusky IV!!! I know you guys wanted to see more of Ed in this so I decided that this chapter would be perfect for it since Spike and Faye aren’t really talking to each other. Ya know? Bebop HighBy Setryochi* * *“Where is Faye-Faye going?” Ed asked her eyes growing wide with wonderment.“I’m going out,” Faye answered closing the door behind her. Edward climbed on the couch to look out the window of the trailer to see Faye walking out of the park and onto the street and slowly disappearing.Ed looked around, “Edward is bored, Edward wants to do something fun,” the orange haired girl looked around spotting Ein who slept lazily under the coffee table. “Edward knows what she will do!”Ed jumped off the couch and leaped like a frog on all fours to her room. Ein lifted his head and perked his ears up as he heard a crashing noise, some things hitting the wall, and watched as an almost flat ball rolled twice and slowly flopped down just outside of the bedroom door. He heard an “Ah ha!” And Edward appeared out of nowhere in front of him. Poor Ein whimpered and looked up at the crazy girl with his beady black eyes.“Edward will take Einy winy for a walk!”Ein’s beady eyes became the size of two CD’s as she latched the leash onto his collar. Without giving the small dog a chance to get up Ed yanked on his leash and pulled the dog mercilessly out of the small trailer and off for their walk.“Look Ein! A clue!” Ed dropped to her hands and knees and began sniffing at a candy wrapper as if she were a dog like Ein.Ein looked around but didn’t quite understand what she was getting at. He looked at her to see what she was doing but was just as confused as anyone would be looking at Edward. Ed got up and began walking at a fast pace, she had seen Faye-Faye go this way. “Will Ein help Edward find Faye-Faye?” Ed grinned her cat-like grin when Ein barked in agreement. Well, that’s what it seemed like Ein was doing anyway. They turned the corner just in time to see Faye-Faye turning another corner further down the street. “C’mon Ein! Faye-Faye is getting away!”The two ran to catch up enough, but not to let Faye-Faye know they were hot on her trail. Faye-Faye must have felt like she was being watched or followed because every once in a while she turn to look behind her. Whenever that happened Ed would jump behind the nearest streetlight pole, garbage can, or parked car to hide. She’d drag poor Ein with her every step of the way. Faye started to turn around, Ed grabbed Ein and as quickly as she could she dove behind a car. “Ssshhhhh, Ein, she’ll hear you!” Ed whispered loudly to the dog. Ein looked at her, whimpered, and continued to go along with all of it. “Where do you think Faye-Faye’s going, Ein?”Ed got up and continued to follow Faye-Faye until Faye-Faye stopped and sat down at a restaurant that had their tables and chairs outside. Faye-Faye sat down and started speaking to a waitress that had just walked over. Ed watched with wide eyes as a man with chin length white hair stalked over to the table. They exchanged “hellos” and he sat down in the chair across from her.“Edward doesn’t like that man. Edward is worried about Faye-Faye.” Ein looked up at Ed’s worried face and then back to Faye-Faye who seemed to be happily talking to the strange man. He tilted his head in confusion.“Let’s get closer Ein,” the thin girl talked to the dog as if they understood each other. Ed crawled as close as she could without Faye-Faye or the strange man being able to notice her. Now she was closer but it was harder to see them from behind the trash can. The small restaurant had a picket white fence around it. Ed figured if she was behind it and next to the wall of the building that it would be hard to see her. She took the chance and bolted really fast to the spot she had targeted.Ed grinned, “We did it Ein!” she whispered. Now she and Ein could see and hear Faye-Faye and the strange man.“Are you and Spike going to talk to each other anytime soon?” Asked the man with white hair.“I don’t know. I really don’t care. He’s always such a baby, I don’t know how you put up with him, Vicious.” Faye-Faye answered the man who’s name seemed to be Vicious.Ed looked on in amazement. Ed hadn’t really ever gone to a place like this and she hadn’t really ever been out like this on her own. I mean, not alone, she was with Faye-Faye, right. “So Faye, what are you doing tomorrow night?” asked Vicious. The two were totally unaware that they were being watched.Ed listened in wondering what was going on. All this confused her and she didn’t understand. She knew that the guy who helped her get her scooter back was named Spike, she heard Faye-Faye say she hated him just the other night. And now there’s this other guy with strange white hair who’s named Vicious.“Ein, Faye-Faye likes him…” Ed stated sadly as she watched with unblinking eyes.Ein looked up at the red haired girl and whimpered in response having no other way. The welsh corgi looked back at the two and seemed to sadden like Ed as he watched the scene.“Ed doesn’t want Faye-Faye to get hurt. Ed will help Faye-Faye.” Ed got up sadly and scurried away from her hiding spot. She ran off before Faye-Faye or Vicious seen her.* *“Ein! Hurry!” Ed ran home as fast as she could. Amazingly she was much faster than Ein and had to slow down to let him catch up to her. Turning sharply into the trailor park she skipped up the three steps that led to the trailor door. She burst through the door giving poor Ein only a few seconds before she closed the door to get inside. Ed dropped the leash and bolted into her and Faye-Faye’s room.Ed stopped to look around, “Ed will fix Faye-Faye and Spike!”
“Who’s Edward?” Asked the maid that worked in the house.
“Edward is friend, and Ed needs to talk to Spike-person.”
“Spike… Person? Did you mean ‘Spike‘?”
“Yes yes, but Edward must speak with Spike-person!”
“One moment please…” The maid set the phone down on the table and made her way up to Spike’s room.
“Excuse me, Mr. Spiegel?” She tapped on his door.
Spike rolled over on his bed, “It’s just Spike!” he yelled through the door.
“Sorry, but you have a phone call, someone by the name of… Edward!”
He picked up the phone in his room, “I got it you can go hang the other one up.”
“Hello?” he spoke into the phone.
“Hi-hi! Spike-persooon! Edward must talk bus-I-ness with you!”
Spike took the phone away from his ear and looked at it. He brought it back to his ear and decided to listen. “What kind of ‘bus-I-ness’?”
“Faye-Faye’s in Trouble! Edward wants to know why Spike-person and Faye-Faye no like each other!” She exclaimed in an exasperated voice.
“Um… What do you mean trouble?”
“Ed has seen Faye-Faye with another maann! Scandalous!”
Spike sighed; this girl is crazy. “You mean Vicious?”
“Sactly! And Edward wants to know why he’s there and not you.”
“Your sister and I got into an argument and we just aren’t talking right now.” he tried to state calmly. “Vicious is a friend, he’s a-”
“A BAD MAN! A BAD, BAD MAN!” Edward cut him off.
Spike slapped his forehead, ‘Even the little girl can see it! “Vicious isn’t that bad. I have to go, Ed.”
“Spike-person!!!” she screeched before he could hang up.
“What?”
“Ed wants Faye-Faye and Spike-person to be happy…”
The phone clicked and the line went dead. Spike looked at the phone and shook his head. “How did Faye come out like she did and her sister like that?” he wondered aloud.
* *
Faye came home and went straight to her room. She tossed her hair band onto the bed. She looked around and decided the kitchen was where she should be. So she turned around and walked out of her room to raid the refrigerator.
“Where did Faye-Faye go?” Ed asked innocently. Faye stood up quickly hitting the back of her head on the door of the freezer. She had been bent over looking in the fridge trying to find something edible. She turned around rubbing the back of her head, “What do you want?”
“Edward was just curious!” she cart wheeled over to Faye.
Faye looked at her in disgust, ‘Why did I have to get this family? They could have stuck me with a much better family!’ she screamed in her head. Faye sighed frustrated and walked away forgetting she was hungry. Ed stood watching as she left the room.
* *
“Ok class, I’ve given you all enough time to finish your projects. You’ve had partners and easy topics, now it’s time to turn in those projects and reports.”
Faye sat up in her seat upon hearing that. “Oh my God…”
Spike kept his nonchalant appearance but was about to have a heart attack. “Did all that time really pass?”
Faye looked over to Spike and glared at him, ‘If that lunkhead hadn’t been such a dick we’d have that report finished!’
Spike looked back at Faye and silently glared at her as well, ‘If that shrew woman hadn’t been such a bitch we would have had that project done.’
“Faye, Spike, do you have your report?” Mrs. Wending asked holding out her hand waiting for it.
“C-c-could we turn it in tomorrow?” Faye asked.
Mrs. Wending looked at them in disbelief, she had given them all that time to do a simple project together and they didn’t have it? She looked at them disapprovingly, “You can’t turn it in any later than 2:40 this afternoon.”
“But Mrs. Wending, that’s not enough time!” Spike complained.
“How are we supposed to have it by then?!” Faye snapped.
“If you’d rather have it that way I want it right now or I’m not taking it at all.” She looked at them sternly.
Faye and Spike looked at each other unhappily. Neither of them had anything with them. They hadn’t even really worked on it. Both of them started to feel guilty about it. They weren’t going to have the best grades on their report cards. They’d be lucky to get a C in this class. They sighed shaking their heads in unison, “we don’t have it.” Mrs. Wending didn’t say anything; she just walked away to collect more papers. It was always the nice, old, frail looking teachers who turned out to be real witches in the end. Mrs. Wending had proven that point by not accepting a late paper.
Spike sunk into his seat and Faye slammed her head down on her desk.
‘I’m never speaking to him again! It’s all his fault and I hate him!’ Faye thought as she laid her head down dejectedly.
‘Argh! It’s all her fault! I’m never going to speak to her again! Her and her dumb mood swings can just die!’ Spike though bitterly as he stared straight ahead not letting anybody see his anger or sadness.
For the next few weeks they wouldn’t speak to each other. When passing each other in the halls they looked away and continued on their path. When in class they ignored each other completely. Neither looked at the other, and if either of them were partnered for anything at all, they used other people to talk to the other one. Everyone around them seemed to become annoyed. At first it seemed like they would just be angry at each other for a week or two and they’d get over it. But after a while everyone started to notice that they were too stubborn and would never talk to the other as long as they were so thick headed. Nobody knew what was wrong because neither would talk. Faye would just change the subject and Spike would just spit at her name and say he didn’t have time to talk about it. It would be a miracle if they ever talked again. Summer was coming soon and everyone looked forward to it.
* * *
The phone rang annoyingly throughout the trailer. Faye got up lazily and answered the phone. “Hello?”
“Tell your bother or sister or whatever it is to STOP calling me!” Came the voice on the other end.
Faye cringed as the voice screamed in her ear. “What are you talking about?” she yelled back.
“Ed keeps calling me and annoying me about YOU!” he screeched.
Faye growled, “Well don’t complain to me about it! I didn’t tell her to call! But since it bothers you so,” she pulled the phone away from her ear. “Ed! Call Spike as much as you’d like! Call him 20 times a day if you want!!!” she yelled.
“WHAT?!” she heard Spike’s voice. “You crazy bitch! ARGH!” he hung up.
Faye placed the phone on the receiver, that had been the highlight of her day. She smiled and laughed wickedly.
“Was Spike-person on the phone?” Ed popped up out of no where.
“Yeah Ed, he said you didn’t call enough and he wants you to call him and talk to him more.” Faye walked away to go watch some TV in the living room.
* *
“I can’t BELIEVE that woman!” he paced back and forth in his room. “To tell that little brat to call me more! She already calls at least 5 times a day!” He rubbed his temples feeling as though it might chase away his on coming headache. He paced his room more before getting dizzy and sitting in the chair near his desk. He sighed and slouched over. He thought back to when Vicious called a while ago boasting about Faye.
Vicious and Faye had started dating about two weeks ago just before school got out. Vicious kept talking about how he was going to get “some” just about every time Spike talked to him. He said Faye couldn’t possibly be a virgin and he was sure she’d put out after the second week. Vicious didn’t really seem to care about anything else. He said he couldn’t even remember a conversation he had had with Faye. Anything she told him went through one ear and out the other. There was only one thing on his mind and Faye looked like she’d jump to do it. Spike shrugged it off, so what if Vicious and Faye were going out, he was waiting for Julia. And as long as Faye was being such a witch he wouldn’t talk to her until she apologized to him for that pepperoni WHICH the stain never came out because of all the grease. She also owed him an apology for that big fat zero that brought his grade down to a D in that class. AND she needs to apologize for her sister and the phone calls and telling Ed she could call him more! Spike growled, that woman got under his skin like no one else.
* *
The phone rang and Faye picked up, “Look Spike I’m not going to tell you again!”
“Faye, it’s me.” came the smooth reply stopping her before she yelled some harsh words.
“Oh, sorry, what’s up?”
“Nothing, I just wanted to see if you wanted to come over tonight. I can come pick you up and we can chill at my house.”
“Oh, well..” Faye thought about it and it seemed ok, it was the summer and she had to get some fun in before it ended. “Sure, when are you coming?”
“How’s right now?”
“Well, I need to put some different clothes on but it seems ok.”
“Good, I’ll be there in a few, see ya.”
“Bye,” Faye smiled and hung up the phone. She stood up and walked to her room. “Hey Ed.”
“Hello Faye-Faye!” Ed exclaimed happily.
Faye went to the closet, the floor was littered with Ed’s toys but the top of the closet was neatly organized with Faye’s clothes. “Hm…” she mused as she looked for something to wear.
“Where’s Faye-Faye going?”
“To see Vicious,” Faye answered not really interested in speaking to Ed.
Ed gasped, “Vicious! Nooo! Faye-Faye CAN’T go! Vicious is baaaad! Ed does NOT like Vicious!”
“Shut up Ed,” Faye mechanically placed a form fitting Hawaiian patterned dress on her bed. It was a springy, summery kind of dress that fell just above her knees. She pulled out white sandals and began to undress. She had been cooped up in the house all day so she just wore comfortable clothes consisting of baggy gray sweat pants and an old T-shirt that was too big for her. She slipped her shirt off and slipped the spaghetti strap dress on. She lifted up the bottom enough to pull her pants off. She sat on the bed and placed the sandals on her feet. All the while Ed watch fascinated by the pretty colors. Faye was so pretty and when Ed grew up she wanted to be just a pretty. Faye walked over and looked in the mirror that sat atop the dresser that held her clothes. She picked up her red lip stick and drew it across her lips staining them a deep crimson.
Ed watched as Faye picked up more tubes, bottles, and jars and watched as she placed whatever was in the containers on certain places on her face. When Faye was finished she looked her self over satisfied with how she looked.
“Hey Ed,” Faye asked snapping Ed out of her trance. Ed looked up to let her know she heard her.
“Can you tell Mom that I went to Vicious’ house and I’ll be back later?”
Ed nodded sadly and Faye patted her head before turning and leaving the room. Faye left the house and walked down the street a bit to wait outside the trailer park. She didn’t like Vicious coming to the trailer park, it made her self conscious and she hated that.
* *
Faye had been to Vicious’ house plenty of times. But this must have been the first time since they had been going out that he had invited her over. Normally they went out or talked on the phone. But usually the phone conversations were short and uninteresting. Faye sighed, for some reason she felt a little nervous. It was strange being his girlfriend. He definitely wasn’t like a few of the other guys she had dated. He was charming sure but lately it didn’t seem like it was to be nice. It seemed like he did it for something more. Like he was silently asking for something. She shrugged entering his house as he held the door open for her. His parents weren’t home but that was the usual thing. Both of his parents were out on business all the time. Faye wasn’t even sure she had ever met them in the eight months she had known Vicious. She wondered if they even remembered they had a son.
Vicious led her to his room and offered to get her a drink or something to eat. She declined and sat on the edge of the bed. He sat next to her after turning some music on. He didn’t like to sit in a room with out some kind of noise he had told her once. He said the silence made him uncomfortable. She glanced over at him not sure what to do. This was the first time she had been alone with him since they had started going out. She wondered if she should make a move or suggest they do something fun. She began to feel a little nervous and uncomfortable, she hadn’t looked at him but she felt his eyes on her.
“Are you ok?” he asked placing his hand on hers.
She looked up at him, “Yeah, I’m fine, why wouldn’t I be?” She smiled reassuringly.
“I dunno, that’s why I asked.” his words trailed off as he leaned in closer and closer until their lips were touching. He kissed her softly, but it was almost needy. He surprised her by deepening the kiss and placing his hand on the crook of her neck. They broke the kiss and he smiled at her, “I couldn’t resist.” he told her in a hard whisper.
She smiled, she was feeling a little more comfortable with him like this. He leaned in and kissed her again briefly before placing his lips on hers again for a longer more passionate kiss. He pressed against her lips forcing her to lean back just a little. She complied and leaned back placing her hands on the bed to help support her weight. She felt the hand that was on her neck slide down her shoulder and onto her arm. He rested his right hand just above her elbow and moved to lean on his left. She was relaxing slowly and her arms were beginning to tire. He pulled away from her lips and kissed her chin, he kissed her jaw line and trailed more over to her ear. She felt his tongue trace a line down her neck, she shivered as he planted heated kisses around the base of her neck. He leaned in more and her arms gave out. She laid down and he went with her. Both laid with their legs hanging off the bed. He laid over her his body twisted. His hips and legs lay next to her facing her body as his upper body lay partly on top of her. He moved back up and kissed her lips again. She kissed him back and parted her lips slightly allowing his tongue access and French kissed him as well. His right hand left her arm to rest on her hip, she could feel his fingers moving against her hip and kneading the flesh of her hip through the thin material of the dress. She hadn’t really paid attention to it but her hands and fingers were tangled in his wavy white hair. She couldn’t remember when she had moved to do that but she guessed it didn’t matter by now.
‘I hope he doesn’t expect this to go any further than making out,’ she thought to her self as they continued to kiss.
They had been doing this for quite a while and they had kissed billions of times by now, short or long, they broke for air everyonce in a while only to kiss more. She moaned almost silently into his lips and was surprised to have let it happen. His left arm still held him up to keep his body weight from crushing her and his right hand still played with the fabric at her hips. She never felt the material raise up like it had until she felt cool air brush passed her left thigh. She moved one of her hands from his back to pull the fabric back down to her knee. ‘Vicious must have accidentally pulled it up,’ she thought. Vicious smiled against her lips and again started to kiss her neck, occasionally he would suck lightly making sure not to leave any marks. His right hand came up and moved the strap of her dress down her arm to kiss her shoulder tenderly. She hadn’t thought about it much but it seemed like this wouldn’t just stop here. He switched his weight and lay atop her one of his legs between hers and used his left hand to move the strap of her right shoulder down her arm. He kissed lightly and suckled on her collar bone making a slight moan escape her lips. At the sound of herself she snapped out of whatever day dream she was in and looked around. She looked to a clock and seen that it was 8:05 and getting later. She sucked air in sharply as his left hand traveled up her thigh.
“Vicious, it’s getting late.” she interrupted him.
He looked up at her, “Did you have to get home?” ‘Damnit!’ he cursed in his mind.
“I told my mom I’d be home by 8:30, she wanted me to do some laundry tonight,” she lied to him. She didn’t want to go any further than making out, they had only been going out for about two weeks now and she didn’t feel it was right, so she lied instead of telling him not to. This was the first boy friend she had had this year and she wanted it to last at least a month, before this she had gone out with plenty of guys but never for more than two or three weeks at a time.
“I see, well I’ll go get my keys and I can take you home.” he cleared his throat and stood up. He walked out of the room leaving her alone.
She sighed in relief. She stood up and straightened her dress. She pulled her straps up back on to her shoulders and looked in a mirror he had hanging on his wall as a decoration. He reentered the room and stood behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck as she tried to fix her hair. “We can continue another time,” he said his breath tickling her neck and shoulder. She smiled nervously, “Maybe,” she tried to use a teasing voice but wasn’t sure if it came out the way she wanted. She finished with her hair and turned around in his arms.
“We should get going,” she stated before he could kiss her.
Kissing her he let her go and started for the door. “I should get you home.”
* *
“Thanks,” she spoke opening the car down.
“You don’t have to thank me,” he placed a hand under her chin and brought her face towards him so he could kiss her.
They kissed briefly and she stood up out of the car. “G’night,” she said closing the door. “Bye,” he waved twice and drove off. Faye watched him leave and walked into the trailer park. She reached her home and opened the door. She went inside and sighed as she made her way to her room. Her mother and Ed looked at her as she opened the bedroom door, stepped in, and closed it behind her.
Faye flopped onto her bed. Tonight had been more intense than what she had expected. Vicious obviously wanted to go all the way. Who wouldn’t want to with her? She was beautiful and any guy would have wanted to. She sighed, she couldn’t say that she wasn’t turned on by what happened tonight. It, what little they had done, did feel very good. She imagined doing more would have felt twenty times as better, but she didn’t want that yet. Even though he seemed sincere it wasn’t going to stop him from doing that and then dumping her. She was naïve at times but she wasn’t stupid. Almost all guys did that; well not all of them. Some of them were nice and caring and sex isn’t just sex to some of them. But Faye felt that she might never find a guy that wanted her for more than sex. And so she vowed that she wouldn’t have sex with Vicious until she was sure he wasn’t going to just sleep with her and then leave her.
* *
(Next day)
Vicious had called Spike and they had been talking for a while now. Vicious was talking about last night and how he had almost gotten what he wanted.
“She’s hot, dude. I almost had her too! But then she stopped me and said that her mom wanted her home by 8:30, so I’m waiting till the next time I can get her alone.”
Spike listened not really interested in hearing about how hot Faye was. She was just another girl to him. “Are you still going to that party this weekend?” he asked trying not to sound bored.
“Yeah, I’m going to take Faye, maybe we can get a room up stairs or something.” he chuckled at the thought.
Spike sweat dropped and the corner of his lips twitched slightly. “Oh, I think I’m going to stay home.”
“Why don’t you go? You haven’t gotten out of the house You could find a hot girl there you know. You could use a relaxing ‘time’, and a piece of ass!” Vicious joked trying to get Spike enthused into going to the party.
“Meh..” Spike said unenthused, “I just don’t feel like it. Besides, I’m waiting for Julia.”
Vicious rolled his eyes, “Suit yourself. I gotta go, got things to get done.”
“Alright, see ya.”
They hung up and that was the end of the conversation. Spike thought about going to the party but decided he’d rather not see people barfing on themselves. Just wasn’t the entertainment he needed right now. His thoughts went back to what Vicious had said about Faye having to go home before he could get it on with her. ‘Faye hates her family and she’s so lazy, she wouldn’t go home just because her mom wanted her to do some laundry.’ Spike laughed, ‘The girl seems like she’s been with every man she’s ever dated but made something up to get away from Vicious? She confuses me sometimes.’ Spike thought. He then wondered why the hell he’d even think about her. To him she was just some slut Vicious was trying to get in bed with. He thought Vicious wouldn’t have any trouble either, but maybe Faye was just playing hard to get. Either way he didn’t care if they screwed their brains out, it wasn’t his business and he just really didn’t care. Spike sighed, it had been eight months since Julia had left. He wondered if she was coming back, she said that it was only temporary, but she couldn’t say for how long. He sighed wishing she were there now.

Thanks for all the reviews, hope this is better, a lot less typos in this!

"Edward wants to talk to Spike-person!” Ed yelled into the phone.“Who’s Edward?” Asked the maid that worked in the house.
“Edward is friend, and Ed needs to talk to Spike-person.”
“Spike… Person? Did you mean ‘Spike‘?”
“Yes yes, but Edward must speak with Spike-person!”

“A BAD MAN! A BAD, BAD MAN!” Edward cut him off.
Spike slapped his forehead, ‘Even the little girl can see it! “Vicious isn’t that bad. I have to go, Ed.”
“Spike-person!!!” she screeched before he could hang up.
“What?”
“Ed wants Faye-Faye and Spike-person to be happy…”
The phone clicked and the line went dead. Spike looked at the phone and shook his head. “How did Faye come out like she did and her sister like that?” he wondered aloud.

Spike sunk into his seat and Faye slammed her head down on her desk.
‘I’m never speaking to him again! It’s all his fault and I hate him!’ Faye thought as she laid her head down dejectedly.
‘Argh! It’s all her fault! I’m never going to speak to her again! Her and her dumb mood swings can just die!’ Spike though bitterly as he stared straight ahead not letting anybody see his anger or sadness.
For the next few weeks they wouldn’t speak to each other. When passing each other in the halls they looked away and continued on their path. When in class they ignored each other completely. Neither looked at the other, and if either of them were partnered for anything at all, they used other people to talk to the other one. Everyone around them seemed to become annoyed. At first it seemed like they would just be angry at each other for a week or two and they’d get over it. But after a while everyone started to notice that they were too stubborn and would never talk to the other as long as they were so thick headed. Nobody knew what was wrong because neither would talk. Faye would just change the subject and Spike would just spit at her name and say he didn’t have time to talk about it. It would be a miracle if they ever talked again. Summer was coming soon and everyone looked forward to it.

The phone rang annoyingly throughout the trailer. Faye got up lazily and answered the phone. “Hello?”
“Tell your bother or sister or whatever it is to STOP calling me!” Came the voice on the other end.
Faye cringed as the voice screamed in her ear. “What are you talking about?” she yelled back.
“Ed keeps calling me and annoying me about YOU!” he screeched.
Faye growled, “Well don’t complain to me about it! I didn’t tell her to call! But since it bothers you so,” she pulled the phone away from her ear. “Ed! Call Spike as much as you’d like! Call him 20 times a day if you want!!!” she yelled.
“WHAT?!” she heard Spike’s voice. “You crazy bitch! ARGH!” he hung up.
Faye placed the phone on the receiver, that had been the highlight of her day. She smiled and laughed wickedly.
“Was Spike-person on the phone?” Ed popped up out of no where.
“Yeah Ed, he said you didn’t call enough and he wants you to call him and talk to him more.” Faye walked away to go watch some TV in the living room.
* *
“I can’t BELIEVE that woman!” he paced back and forth in his room. “To tell that little brat to call me more! She already calls at least 5 times a day!” He rubbed his temples feeling as though it might chase away his on coming headache. He paced his room more before getting dizzy and sitting in the chair near his desk. He sighed and slouched over. He thought back to when Vicious called a while ago boasting about Faye.
Vicious and Faye had started dating about two weeks ago just before school got out. Vicious kept talking about how he was going to get “some” just about every time Spike talked to him. He said Faye couldn’t possibly be a virgin and he was sure she’d put out after the second week. Vicious didn’t really seem to care about anything else. He said he couldn’t even remember a conversation he had had with Faye. Anything she told him went through one ear and out the other. There was only one thing on his mind and Faye looked like she’d jump to do it. Spike shrugged it off, so what if Vicious and Faye were going out, he was waiting for Julia. And as long as Faye was being such a witch he wouldn’t talk to her until she apologized to him for that pepperoni WHICH the stain never came out because of all the grease. She also owed him an apology for that big fat zero that brought his grade down to a D in that class. AND she needs to apologize for her sister and the phone calls and telling Ed she could call him more! Spike growled, that woman got under his skin like no one else.

The phone rang and Faye picked up, “Look Spike I’m not going to tell you again!”
“Faye, it’s me.” came the smooth reply stopping her before she yelled some harsh words.
“Oh, sorry, what’s up?”
“Nothing, I just wanted to see if you wanted to come over tonight. I can come pick you up and we can chill at my house.”
“Oh, well..” Faye thought about it and it seemed ok, it was the summer and she had to get some fun in before it ended. “Sure, when are you coming?”
“How’s right now?”
“Well, I need to put some different clothes on but it seems ok.”
“Good, I’ll be there in a few, see ya.”
“Bye,” Faye smiled and hung up the phone. She stood up and walked to her room. “Hey Ed.”
“Hello Faye-Faye!” Ed exclaimed happily.
Faye went to the closet, the floor was littered with Ed’s toys but the top of the closet was neatly organized with Faye’s clothes. “Hm…” she mused as she looked for something to wear.
“Where’s Faye-Faye going?”
“To see Vicious,” Faye answered not really interested in speaking to Ed.
Ed gasped, “Vicious! Nooo! Faye-Faye CAN’T go! Vicious is baaaad! Ed does NOT like Vicious!”
“Shut up Ed,” Faye mechanically placed a form fitting Hawaiian patterned dress on her bed. It was a springy, summery kind of dress that fell just above her knees. She pulled out white sandals and began to undress. She had been cooped up in the house all day so she just wore comfortable clothes consisting of baggy gray sweat pants and an old T-shirt that was too big for her. She slipped her shirt off and slipped the spaghetti strap dress on. She lifted up the bottom enough to pull her pants off. She sat on the bed and placed the sandals on her feet. All the while Ed watch fascinated by the pretty colors. Faye was so pretty and when Ed grew up she wanted to be just a pretty. Faye walked over and looked in the mirror that sat atop the dresser that held her clothes. She picked up her red lip stick and drew it across her lips staining them a deep crimson.
Ed watched as Faye picked up more tubes, bottles, and jars and watched as she placed whatever was in the containers on certain places on her face. When Faye was finished she looked her self over satisfied with how she looked.
“Hey Ed,” Faye asked snapping Ed out of her trance. Ed looked up to let her know she heard her.
“Can you tell Mom that I went to Vicious’ house and I’ll be back later?”
Ed nodded sadly and Faye patted her head before turning and leaving the room. Faye left the house and walked down the street a bit to wait outside the trailer park. She didn’t like Vicious coming to the trailer park, it made her self conscious and she hated that.

Faye had been to Vicious’ house plenty of times. But this must have been the first time since they had been going out that he had invited her over. Normally they went out or talked on the phone. But usually the phone conversations were short and uninteresting. Faye sighed, for some reason she felt a little nervous. It was strange being his girlfriend. He definitely wasn’t like a few of the other guys she had dated. He was charming sure but lately it didn’t seem like it was to be nice. It seemed like he did it for something more. Like he was silently asking for something. She shrugged entering his house as he held the door open for her. His parents weren’t home but that was the usual thing. Both of his parents were out on business all the time. Faye wasn’t even sure she had ever met them in the eight months she had known Vicious. She wondered if they even remembered they had a son.
Vicious led her to his room and offered to get her a drink or something to eat. She declined and sat on the edge of the bed. He sat next to her after turning some music on. He didn’t like to sit in a room with out some kind of noise he had told her once. He said the silence made him uncomfortable. She glanced over at him not sure what to do. This was the first time she had been alone with him since they had started going out. She wondered if she should make a move or suggest they do something fun. She began to feel a little nervous and uncomfortable, she hadn’t looked at him but she felt his eyes on her.
“Are you ok?” he asked placing his hand on hers.
She looked up at him, “Yeah, I’m fine, why wouldn’t I be?” She smiled reassuringly.
“I dunno, that’s why I asked.” his words trailed off as he leaned in closer and closer until their lips were touching. He kissed her softly, but it was almost needy. He surprised her by deepening the kiss and placing his hand on the crook of her neck. They broke the kiss and he smiled at her, “I couldn’t resist.” he told her in a hard whisper.
She smiled, she was feeling a little more comfortable with him like this. He leaned in and kissed her again briefly before placing his lips on hers again for a longer more passionate kiss. He pressed against her lips forcing her to lean back just a little. She complied and leaned back placing her hands on the bed to help support her weight. She felt the hand that was on her neck slide down her shoulder and onto her arm. He rested his right hand just above her elbow and moved to lean on his left. She was relaxing slowly and her arms were beginning to tire. He pulled away from her lips and kissed her chin, he kissed her jaw line and trailed more over to her ear. She felt his tongue trace a line down her neck, she shivered as he planted heated kisses around the base of her neck. He leaned in more and her arms gave out. She laid down and he went with her. Both laid with their legs hanging off the bed. He laid over her his body twisted. His hips and legs lay next to her facing her body as his upper body lay partly on top of her. He moved back up and kissed her lips again. She kissed him back and parted her lips slightly allowing his tongue access and French kissed him as well. His right hand left her arm to rest on her hip, she could feel his fingers moving against her hip and kneading the flesh of her hip through the thin material of the dress. She hadn’t really paid attention to it but her hands and fingers were tangled in his wavy white hair. She couldn’t remember when she had moved to do that but she guessed it didn’t matter by now.
‘I hope he doesn’t expect this to go any further than making out,’ she thought to her self as they continued to kiss.
They had been doing this for quite a while and they had kissed billions of times by now, short or long, they broke for air everyonce in a while only to kiss more. She moaned almost silently into his lips and was surprised to have let it happen. His left arm still held him up to keep his body weight from crushing her and his right hand still played with the fabric at her hips. She never felt the material raise up like it had until she felt cool air brush passed her left thigh. She moved one of her hands from his back to pull the fabric back down to her knee. ‘Vicious must have accidentally pulled it up,’ she thought. Vicious smiled against her lips and again started to kiss her neck, occasionally he would suck lightly making sure not to leave any marks. His right hand came up and moved the strap of her dress down her arm to kiss her shoulder tenderly. She hadn’t thought about it much but it seemed like this wouldn’t just stop here. He switched his weight and lay atop her one of his legs between hers and used his left hand to move the strap of her right shoulder down her arm. He kissed lightly and suckled on her collar bone making a slight moan escape her lips. At the sound of herself she snapped out of whatever day dream she was in and looked around. She looked to a clock and seen that it was 8:05 and getting later. She sucked air in sharply as his left hand traveled up her thigh.
“Vicious, it’s getting late.” she interrupted him.
He looked up at her, “Did you have to get home?” ‘Damnit!’ he cursed in his mind.
“I told my mom I’d be home by 8:30, she wanted me to do some laundry tonight,” she lied to him. She didn’t want to go any further than making out, they had only been going out for about two weeks now and she didn’t feel it was right, so she lied instead of telling him not to. This was the first boy friend she had had this year and she wanted it to last at least a month, before this she had gone out with plenty of guys but never for more than two or three weeks at a time.
“I see, well I’ll go get my keys and I can take you home.” he cleared his throat and stood up. He walked out of the room leaving her alone.
She sighed in relief. She stood up and straightened her dress. She pulled her straps up back on to her shoulders and looked in a mirror he had hanging on his wall as a decoration. He reentered the room and stood behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck as she tried to fix her hair. “We can continue another time,” he said his breath tickling her neck and shoulder. She smiled nervously, “Maybe,” she tried to use a teasing voice but wasn’t sure if it came out the way she wanted. She finished with her hair and turned around in his arms.
“We should get going,” she stated before he could kiss her.
Kissing her he let her go and started for the door. “I should get you home.”
* *
“Thanks,” she spoke opening the car down.
“You don’t have to thank me,” he placed a hand under her chin and brought her face towards him so he could kiss her.
They kissed briefly and she stood up out of the car. “G’night,” she said closing the door. “Bye,” he waved twice and drove off. Faye watched him leave and walked into the trailer park. She reached her home and opened the door. She went inside and sighed as she made her way to her room. Her mother and Ed looked at her as she opened the bedroom door, stepped in, and closed it behind her.
Faye flopped onto her bed. Tonight had been more intense than what she had expected. Vicious obviously wanted to go all the way. Who wouldn’t want to with her? She was beautiful and any guy would have wanted to. She sighed, she couldn’t say that she wasn’t turned on by what happened tonight. It, what little they had done, did feel very good. She imagined doing more would have felt twenty times as better, but she didn’t want that yet. Even though he seemed sincere it wasn’t going to stop him from doing that and then dumping her. She was naïve at times but she wasn’t stupid. Almost all guys did that; well not all of them. Some of them were nice and caring and sex isn’t just sex to some of them. But Faye felt that she might never find a guy that wanted her for more than sex. And so she vowed that she wouldn’t have sex with Vicious until she was sure he wasn’t going to just sleep with her and then leave her.

(Next day)
Vicious had called Spike and they had been talking for a while now. Vicious was talking about last night and how he had almost gotten what he wanted.
“She’s hot, dude. I almost had her too! But then she stopped me and said that her mom wanted her home by 8:30, so I’m waiting till the next time I can get her alone.”
Spike listened not really interested in hearing about how hot Faye was. She was just another girl to him. “Are you still going to that party this weekend?” he asked trying not to sound bored.
“Yeah, I’m going to take Faye, maybe we can get a room up stairs or something.” he chuckled at the thought.
Spike sweat dropped and the corner of his lips twitched slightly. “Oh, I think I’m going to stay home.”
“Why don’t you go? You haven’t gotten out of the house You could find a hot girl there you know. You could use a relaxing ‘time’, and a piece of ass!” Vicious joked trying to get Spike enthused into going to the party.
“Meh..” Spike said unenthused, “I just don’t feel like it. Besides, I’m waiting for Julia.”
Vicious rolled his eyes, “Suit yourself. I gotta go, got things to get done.”
“Alright, see ya.”
They hung up and that was the end of the conversation. Spike thought about going to the party but decided he’d rather not see people barfing on themselves. Just wasn’t the entertainment he needed right now. His thoughts went back to what Vicious had said about Faye having to go home before he could get it on with her. ‘Faye hates her family and she’s so lazy, she wouldn’t go home just because her mom wanted her to do some laundry.’ Spike laughed, ‘The girl seems like she’s been with every man she’s ever dated but made something up to get away from Vicious? She confuses me sometimes.’ Spike thought. He then wondered why the hell he’d even think about her. To him she was just some slut Vicious was trying to get in bed with. He thought Vicious wouldn’t have any trouble either, but maybe Faye was just playing hard to get. Either way he didn’t care if they screwed their brains out, it wasn’t his business and he just really didn’t care. Spike sighed, it had been eight months since Julia had left. He wondered if she was coming back, she said that it was only temporary, but she couldn’t say for how long. He sighed wishing she were there now.
