Chapter 33 … and you thought the ants were bad!


“She’s had some troubles.” Giles was saying to Buffy after lunch as she sat on the picnic bench watching Spike play Frisbee with his sex kitten cousin Faith.

“Lying, some theft, promiscuous sex,” He continued.

*Promiscuous eh? Now that’s a surprise!* Buffy thought to herself.

“She was let go this last time because of an incident with one of her teachers.” *Translation: she was caught in bed with one of her teachers.*

“I’m afraid Martha and Stu just couldn’t help her so they sent her to us hoping that being away from the crowd she went around with would snap her out of her problems.”

“So how are things going?” Buffy asked not really caring if the younger woman stepped off of the short end of a pier or not.

“I keep telling Giles that she’s just a hormone bomb waiting to explode and that we have to keep a close eye but he’s so much more giving than I am.” Anya said.

“Yes, well…she is my niece after all and I do have a familial obligation and that includes giving her a chance until she’s proven me wrong dear.” Giles replied gently but firmly.

Giles and Anya and the others continued to talk but Buffy had relegated their chatter to background noise as she watched the strong lines of her teenaged lover. *God just looking at him makes me hot. * She thought to herself. This wasn’t the first time she had seen him in a relaxed social setting but it was the first time she had seen his body truly in motion. *Well when it’s farther away that is. * She giggled quietly to herself.

“Buffy?”

“Huh?”

“Willow and I are going for a walk down to the lake do you want to join us?” Tara asked looking to see what held the tiny blonde’s rapt attention. *Ahh…true love. * She thought smiling down at her friend.

“We’re going to feed the ducks.” Willow said holding up a bag of bread with a grin.

“Oh….sure.” Buffy said not really wanting to go anywhere that she couldn’t keep a close eye on her boyfriend and his slutty cousin, but resigned to the fact that she couldn’t always be there.

Standing up she walked along with the two women enjoying their company and just enjoying the quiet of the park.

Faith watched with an eagle’s eye as Buffy, Tara, and Willow walked out of sight. *Time for a little cousinly action. *

“Hey Will, ya wanna go over there and feed the ducks?” She asked pointing out a thicket not to far away as he jogged up to her.

“Sure.” Spike said gregariously already headed back to the picnic table for the bread his cousin’s eyes honing in on his well-formed backside. *Now there’s an ass you just want to take a bite out of. * She practically drooled.



20 Minutes later


Buffy walked back up the path towards the picnic table alone, leaving Willow and Tara to cuddle sweetly by the side of the lake. Wandering aimlessly she noticed that Spike and Faith were no longer in view. Cocking her head for a moment she thought that she heard the tinkle of Faiths laughter and went in that direction.

Rounding the corner of the path opposite Tara and Willows spot Buffy could just make out the bleached head of Spike and the darker locks of his cousin as she leaned against his shoulder his arm draped casually about her neck. Coming to a stop behind them, “Well, isn’t this cozy?” She asked innuendo dripping from her casual words.

Turning around Spike dropped his arm and reached out for his lady love only to have her pull away the confusion showing on his face. “Buffy?” He asked stepping closer and pushing a stray strand of hair from her face as she looked over his shoulder at the grinning bitch behind him.

“Stay away from him!” Buffy snarled pushing Spike out of the way and stepping towards the brunette menacingly.

Standing her own ground Faith placed her hands on her hips and tilted her head cockily, “Or you’ll do what exactly?”

Before Spike could step between the two hissing females Buffy took the final steps towards Faith and promptly belted her with her small fist, knocking the brash teenager on her ass in the murky duck pond.

“BUFFY!!!!” Spike shouted horrified and perplexed by her behaviour, “What is your problem?”

“My problem is, SPIKE, that she’s trying to weasel her way between us and I won’t let her!!!”

“How can you say that? What the bloody hell is wrong with you woman?” Spike was livid now as he stooped over to give his thoroughly soaked and stinky cousin a hand in getting up.

“She….I….”Buffy tried to find proof for her accusations but instead ended up looking like a fish that had been tossed onto the shore and was gasping for air. The truth was, she had no proof not concrete anyways.

Wrapping his now falsely shivering relative in his protective embrace Spike stopped for a moment beside Buffy, “When you want to apologize to Faith and to me for this, you know where I’ll be.”

Buffy watched helplessly as Spike turned his back on her, Faith throwing one cat that ate the canary grin back at her as her she said, “What did I do Will? I didn’t do anything to her…”

Tears ran down Buffys face as she sank to the ground and wept trying to figure out a way to make everything go back to how it was before.
