Mothers (girlxgirl) (Book 3)

Promises

Faith's POV

Well here I am.

I walk through the automatic doors of the hospital and head towards the right room.

I'm here for the main reason I came back to Sunnydale... to see Joyce. I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen when I see her, but it probably has something to do with what might happen when she goes into surgery tomorrow. I hope she makes it through this, but from what Giles said and the bits and pieces I've gotten from the nurses, the outlook isn't so good.

I turn down one of the hallways.

What surprised me was getting the call from B. Of all the people to call me, I wouldn't think it would ever be her. Not that the conversation was much of anything, she kept it really quick and simple. After the whole awkward opening moment it was pretty much just 'My mom wants to see you, come by tomorrow'. When I asked why she said 'Because she wants to see you, come by tomorrow or don't come by at all. Are you coming by or not?' And that was that, I said yes and she hung up. So now I'm here, to see a woman who means more to me than my own mother did. I wonder why Buffy was the one to call me? Why would she go along with it?

I look down the hall and there she is, talking to someone. A female someone by the looks of it.

Well, they're between me and Joyce so I might as well say hello, no matter how cold the response might be.

I make my way over to them and Buffy notices.

"Hey B..."

Her eyes narrow as she turns to me and her arms cross her chest.

"Hello..."

"Who's your...?"

The brunette she's with turns to me and I can't help but pause and smile.

"... friend?"

I see a short moment of surprise in the friend's look.

I really can't blame her.

I look her over and I can't help but notice something familiar about her.

She's got dark hair, slightly tanned skin, brown eyes, and a lot of curves. If I didn't know better I'd say I was looking in a mirror, give or take a few years.

I look at Buffy for an answer.

"None of your business."

I saw that coming.

I hold out my hand to her friend.

"Hi, I'm Faith..."

She takes my hand and shakes it.

"My name is Fay..."

I almost wanna break out laughing at the sound of her name.

Buffy has a sexy brunette friend named Fay?

"I guess you've got a type eh B?"

She glares at me even more.

"Shut up Faith..."

Fay speaks up.

"Buffy and I aren't together. I'm with someone else and it's serious."

I smile at Buffy.

"I didn't really ask."

B kinda leans back into a defensive posture.

"Don't worry Fay, there's nothing between Faith and I anymore. You don't have to worry about making her jealous."
