It had been a year since her last birthday went to hell in a hand bag and it was coming up again and she hated her birthday. Nothing good ever happens on that day. So what she was born into being a chosen one. That meant no life outside of the slaying of vampires. Demons, like they would ever let her forget. Be it Chaos Demons or whatever had been in Sunnydale or elsewhere during her birthday.
Now here they were in Louisville, Ky and with Willow wanting to give her a party. They had argued yesterday about it... and Hell, if they still weren't....
"Willow, I don't want a party. Nothing good ever comes from the celebration anyway." Buffy told her as they were standing in Willow's room now empty of Kennedy as Will and her had finally split.
"Will, I know you miss Kennedy. But having this party is not going to help you to not miss her."
Willow's bottom lip was hanging out, how dare Buffy say that she was just having the party so she could forget her former girlfriend.
"Buffy, that's not fair, this has nothing to do with Kennedy. ALRIGHT!....I'm over it. YOU need to get over it TOO!"
Willow walked out of the room leaving a pissed off slayer in her wake.
Going to her closet, she looked through it for something to wear. It had not helped that when the arguing started tonight, she has just gotten out of the shower with only a towel on, when Willow told her that she was going to have a party for her. Buffy couldn't stop herself, she had followed Willow in her bedroom, bitching all the time at her. She didn't need the party or want it.
*Couldn't they just let me get older without thinking that I want to be reminded that I am...still the oldest Slayer?* No they never got it. She wanted to forget that part.
Buffy found a pair of black leather pants and a gold long sleeve button down shirt. Not her usually trendy thing. *But hey, it's almost my birthday. Just cause I don't want a party, doesn't mean that I can't dress to kill.* She slipped into the pants without underwear and the shirt as well. *Won't Faith be proud of me?* Laughing into the room and then went downstairs to face Willow.
**Meanwhile downstairs**
When Willow had left the blonde slayer, she was fuming. "How dare her!"
After she had put all the work into the party. Xander was flying in from Hong Kong, Dawn would be coming in from college, Vi at her side. They had gotten closer after the fall of the First and went off to college together, everyone thought it was for the best. Vi could protect Dawn, and whatever was building between them..well they would be together for it.
"She thinks she knows everything...IT'S NOT about Kennedy, it's...it's about doing the right thing...and pewy if I am missing Kennedy, not me..nope not one little bit..so what if she said that I really didn't love her, that I was using her for my pleasure...that is just bull shit. I would never just use her...I..I gave her pleasure, she never once complained to me, about my loving skills." She stopped as she had ran out of breath. *Got to stop my babble, makes me light headed.*
She went back to rambling in her head, as she was throwing a pillow in the air. She heard the back door open and then heard, "Hey, where is everyone?"
Willow dropped the pillow and ran into the kitchen. There looking through the refrigerator was Faith, dressed in black leather pants, a red tank top, dark leather boots, her famous jacket, hanging over the door of the refrigerator. Her makeup was lighter these days. Stopping as she took in the sight before her; *GOD, she is yummy....stop..must not have these thoughts, bad Willow...but her ass is...OH MY GOD, SHE JUST TURNED AROUND.* With an eek, "hum, hi." Willow got out.
Smirking at the redhead, watching the blush running down into the cleavage that was showing, her eyes followed that blush, wanting to be able to trace it all the way down, just to see if she was a real redhead. Eyes twinkling Faith asked, "Red, where's B? We're going out tonight, got that new club in town and I am just itching for some action." She winked at Willow as she finished talking to her.
Faith had moved her hand just under her breasts and was running her hand up to her neck, Willow was not able to answer her as they heard Buffy coming downstairs.
Buffy walked into the room, that seemed to be a hundred degrees if that, she took in the look of a bright red Willow and a smirking dark slayer, brown eyes extra dark with a hint of what she knew was desire. Walking over she grabbed Faith's hand from her breasts.
"Haven't the twins had enough fun recently?" Buffy asked.
"Now B, enough is never enough...you know that." Faith leaned back eating a piece of fried chicken as she watched Buffy and Willow looking at each other. *God, what I could do with both of them* Faith's mind was envisioning a blonde licking her pussy as she was kissing a redhead. Shaking her head, she went back to watching Buffy and Willow.
"Buff, we are not done talking about your party." Willow began following the blond slayer as she finished putting her boots on. Buffy had not sat down to put her feet in them, she had instead, bent over with her ass pointing at the redhead. Willow's mind just went into hyper drive, *GOD, she has a lovely ass, just want to lick every inch of it....oh no, oh yeah, she did. NOT AGAIN!* Willow's mouth was hanging open as Buffy turned around toward her.
"Gee Will, you looking to be the new bait for the bugs?" Buffy asked as she watched that blush creep down into the breasts that was just asking to be sucked on. *God, I need to get out of here.* Buffy thought.
Faith had finished her chicken and was wiping her hands off as she looked B over real good. "DAMN B. How am I going to get any action with you looking like that?"
Buffy smiled at her as she turned away from the redhead, "Maybe we could share." Buffy told her as she grabbed her stake. Now it was Faith's turn to have her mouth hanging open. *Oh God, don't let her be kidding me.*..."B, I know you would never get your nasty on with me watching." Faith followed her to the door, and then stopped suddenly as Buffy had.
"Will...WILLOW" Buffy said.
Somehow her mind had snapped out of thinking about being in the middle of the two slayers. Then it went into thinking about Buffy making love to her, would it be her first time with another woman, or had Faith been her first?
Buffy had walked back to her best friend; "WILLOW, are you alright?" Buffy asked.
Eyes clearing of the image of a blond laying on her chest, fingers playing with her nipples; "B...Buf...Buffy, sorry. I got lost in my babble there for a minute." Willow said as she turned beet red this time, and the blush was everywhere.
"Will, are you sure you'll be alright? ...I can stay home tonight if you need me to." Buffy said as she looked over at Faith. Faith just shrugged her shoulders, cleaning her nails with the Evensong knife that was by the door.
"Buffy, go have fun with Faith." Coughing then adding; "Not that kind of fun, the dancing type." Willow told her as she was heading back to the door.
"Will, last chance." Buffy said as she was now right by Faith.
"I'll be fine, gonna watch some television and then head to bed." Willow told her as she was trying her best to get the slayers to leave her alone.
Reaching out and getting ahold of Buffy's hand; "Come on B, she's gonna be alright, let's go and get our moves on." Faith opened the door and went through it with Buffy trailing after her.
Willow watched them getting into Faith's Jaguar XK8 Salsa colored Convertible, she had the interior the color of cashmere. She was still amazed that Faith had made a bundle designing knives for a local company. Evensong had been the first knife and Faith never was one to talk about what they did after leaving Sunnydale. Still another surprise had been that Buffy had suggested that her and Kennedy live with her, Buffy just didn't want to be alone, not after having the full house in Sunnydale. Closing the door, she went over and sat down on the sofa. She had never been so glad that Buffy or Faith could not read her mind, she would have just exploded if they had known the thoughts that she had just had.
"I SO NEED A GIRLFRIEND!" Willow exclaimed as she laid back and turned the television on...The movie that was showing as the sound and picture appeared was that of Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon laying on a bed..."OH GOD." She turned the television off, running upstairs, stripping as she closed her door and got into bed. As she crawled under the covers, her fingers started working their own magic..."oh yeah, time to make..me feel better...god that's what I need." Her fingers were sliding in and out, out and then back in, hips moving against her fingers, as her walls were tightening, as she was stroking her clit, making herself come all over her fingers, breathing heavy as she told the room, "so need a girlfriend." She fell asleep, wondering what the chosen two were doing.
The Swindler and Cat was in full swing tonight. Music was blaring over the twenty four speaker sound system. Thongs moving on women dancing high above in cages, jock straps moving on several of the men that, had found their way on stage.
The slayers made their way to the bar, Faith ordered up a shot of Jack Daniels with a beer chaser and a Jager Tonic, Buffy ordered an Absolut 600. As they waited for their drinks they took in the sights of the club. Girls dancing with other girls, guys dancing with guys.There even seemed to be a few guys and girls dancing, even though it was not a straight club.
Drinks appeared on the side by them, Faith knocked down the JD and beer and then was holding her Jager Tonic, as Buffy was drinking her Absolut 600. Buffy had gotten up closer to her to talk; "Looks like Deon Frazier has done good for a change." Buffy said rather loudly. The bartender looked at her and frowned. "DON'T YOU HAVE OTHER PEOPLE WAITING?" Buffy yelled.
The bartender had been checking the two girls out, they were looking rather fine tonight. "Chill out B, he was just checking our goods out." Faith said winking at her...
"Rather he go check someone else out."
"B, do I need to tell you to find the fun again, thought we got that stick out of your ass, a time back."
"FAITH!" Buffy downed what was left of her drink, as did her fellow slayer.
Buffy walked away from her, the dance floor calling her name, things sure had changed since leaving Sunnydale. B liked to dance more and more, with just her watching her. Men and women were drawn to the blonde slayer as her body was moving to the beat of the music.
Faith yelled back at the bartender, getting another shot of JD, it arrived as Buffy was dancing with another woman, her dance partner had hair the color of red and seemed to be moving her hands all over the slayer. "FUCK" Faith said as the stranger's hands were roaming on to Buffy's ass.
*OH NO SHE DOESN'T* Faith slammed the shot glass down and went storming out to the dance floor, grabbing Buffy by the arm, in effect turning her to her;
"WHAT?"...Buffy asked as the woman's hands left her ass, the woman spoke up as she was looking at Faith.
"WHAT'S YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM, WE WERE DANCING HERE, BITCH!" The woman yelled at the dark slayer.
Buffy's hands grabbed Faith, the dark slayer had blood in her eyes.
"Listen it was great dancing with you, but she doesn't like to share." Buffy tried to defuse the tension between the redhead and the other slayer.
The woman was looking Faith up and down; "she pleases you?"..."doesn't look like she knows much." The mouthy lady said.
"B, let me fucking go." Faith was pulling against Buffy with every thing that she had, but Buffy was not letting go of her. "Fuck, B. she had her hands all over you." There was a stare down going on and Buffy was in the middle of it.
Deon had made it down to them, knowing what the girls were that this woman was looking to fight with. "Sue, why don't you go to the bar and tell Carson to give you a slim bottle of Markers Mark on the house, tell him that I okay-ed it." Deon was doing his best to not have a fight break out.
Sue stepped up to Buffy, "When you're done playing with an amateur look me up, you will never need to come in here again, when I get done with you." The redhead said and then kissed Buffy on the cheek.
Faith was livid, "Fucking bitch! ....Get your lips off of her!" Faith was now more than pissed off, she was ready to pop this woman for putting her hands on Buffy.
Buffy had to smile as Sue left, the woman had made Faith jealous and that was hard to do anymore. Buffy thought for sure that she could see steam coming off of the dark slayer's head.
"Buffy, Faith. I'm sorry about that, Sue is a bit on the friendly side with her hands, doesn't realize that some girls have girlfriends. She will be drunk in a bit and I will have someone drive her home. Don't worry about your drinks or anything tonight or the next time that you come in, it's on the house. Now please, dance you two. Buffy help her work off her...her..mood." Deon didn't wait for Faith to say anything, just went back to his office and made a call.
Buffy could still see Sue at the bar, drinking and feeling up another woman that was standing by her.
Willow was dreaming as the front door opened, a figure came inside the house. Creeping up the stairs, arriving at the door of the redhead that was sleeping, moaning was heard; "that's it, yes do that, more...oh god." Willow's body was arching on the bed as her hips were moving in her sleep. The figure stood watching her, then closing the door, walked down the hall and up the next flight of stairs. Arriving at the third floor, walked to the door at the far end of the room, opening the door and going inside. There before the person was a double size bed with a bluegreen bedspread on it. They placed their bags down and walked to the bed, flopping down on it, they listened hard to the house, no sounds they could hear, not even Willow on the second floor. Kicking their shoes off and then stripping off the clothes that seemed to be painted on, she turned the bedspread down and crawled into the bed.
Buffy thought for sure that Faith was foaming at the mouth, she had never seen the dark slayer this ticked off at someone else, she was usually the one that could get to Faith this bad. She was hopping that they could get out here without Faith wanting to rearrange Sue's face.
"Can't believe you didn't let me kick her ass, she was so fucking asking for it, THE BITCH CALLED ME A BITCH...Am I not suppose to do something about that?" Faith was pacing right by Buffy. This went on for what seemed like four hours but really it was like a half an hour. Finally Buffy had enough. Grabbing onto her arm...
"Faith, let's go dance please and forget about that woman." Buffy said as she was pulling her toward the dance floor. Faith was mumbling and not really into the dancing. "Faith, will you please stop it!" Buffy said right against the brunette's ear. Faith looked at her and then back at the bar, she couldn't see that woman anywhere. *Maybe I can relax* Faith thought.
Just as the thought went through her, she felt a slap to her head. "Shit." Faith said as she stumbled into Buffy. Turning around she came face to face with Sue.
"You didn't think, I was going to let you leave with her did you?" For a woman that had been putting away the whiskey that Deon gave, she didn't seem drunk.
"Listen, I think you need to leave me and her alone." Buffy tried to tell the woman, as she was holding Faith against her chest. Buffy was trying to keep her from hurting this stupid woman. A drop of blood dropped down onto Buffy and Faith was looking down and saw what remained of the whiskey bottle, in Sue's hand.
"You hit me with a bottle." Faith got out as she was struggling against Buffy. This was deja vu all over again.
She heard Buffy whispering to her, "don't do anything, Deon will be here with security any second, and I need you to stay against me, please Faith."
