Bebop High

Faye eyed him suspiciously, he was exceptionally well at this game. She wasn’t bad herself, but cards were more her style. Not that she didn’t intend to win this. Oh no way in hell would she let him win. Not with the bet looming overhead of course. She was nobody’s bitch, especially a spoiled, puffy-haired, bitch-boy like him!

Spike eyed her intently, she was pretty good... For a girl. But obviously no match for his skills. He definitely wanted to win. No way would he lose to a crybaby, whiney-assed GIRL! He was nobody’s whipping boy and he was going to prove that.

Each of them took their rightful turns knocking the balls around on the table. They were both good and neither was willing to give up or show weakness. Both were stubborn and skilled and had way too much pride. They’re egos could have filled the room if such a thing were solid.

“Why don’t you just give up?” Spike asked leaning against the table. If he leaned far enough back he got a pretty nice glimpse of cleavage. Not that he was looking or anything. (*Cough* no of course not!)

Faye was busy concentrating on her move. She leaned over the table positioning her stick just right. She looked back noticing some men eyeing her, she wiggled her hips just for some amusement. She smiled knowing they were watching and enjoying. It was wonderful to be attractive, especially when you could get such reactions from people. She made her shot, it was pure sweetness watching the ball roll right into the corner pocket where she wanted it.

They played for quite a while neither wanting to be ether’s slave. The deal had been made in the middle of the game when they started having some fun. Neither had forgotten what Spike did, but they didn’t speak of it. Besides, the past was the past right?

The game would be over soon and each watched and waited with anticipation. Spike made his shot, in fact he made all of them except maybe a few. Now it was Faye’s turn and the stakes seemed high and she felt like maybe getting the same way. She took her shot and it seemed like things would be all right.

“Gah!” her elbow slipped, “No!” she watched helplessly as the solid ball rolled like a snail on the pavement and only managed to make it as far as the middle of the table. She closed her eyes in defeat. She was so close. She slowly let her head sink to the table.

Spike walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, “It’s ok Faye,” would he be nice enough to let her go?

She lifted her head with the hopes of freedom.

“I think I could enjoy this.”

“Somebody get me a drink over here!” she slammed her fist on the table. She was going to need that drink.

Spike grinned to himself, life wasn’t that bad. ‘Julia will come back one day, I can wait,’ he thought. He wrapped a sarcastic arm around Faye’s shoulders and lifted her slouching form off the pool table. “Ya’ know you want me,” he taunted. She just glared at him. “I see you aren’t objecting to it,” he laughed.

SMACK!

“You bastard! I hate you! I can’t stand to be near your worthless- ER!” She slapped him! Then walked out of the pool hall to head home.

Spike stood there, “She hit me,” he droned.

Faye walked out onto the street. She shivered as the cool air brushed her skin and seemed to paint a picture on her small body with goosebumps. She rubbed at her arms involuntarily, when did it become so cold? She felt someone following close behind, she didn’t turn around, she didn’t want them to think she was nervous or afraid. When a hand touched her shoulder she turned around quickly throwing a high punch. Damn, she missed and a hand came out and grasped her wrist. She looked up to see a smirking Spike. Boy would she do anything to wipe that clear off his stupid face! Glaring daggers at him she jerked away from him and turned to continue walking.

“Faye wait!” he called gripping her hand again.

She turned to him, “You had me walk all the way to your house and you left!” she tried to pull away again but he only tightened his grip.

“Faye, I didn’t mean to, Vicious called after I hung up with you and asked me to go out. It’s rough right now and I needed to get out,” just apologize.

She gritted her teeth, “Rough?! Ha! You don’t know what that is living in your big house and having so many friends! I don’t even understand how anybody could like such a stuck up bastard such as yourself!”

“What’s that supposed to mean?! You don’t know anything about me or my life!” how could he be angry at her after what he did?

“You’re right! And I don’t want to know!” she turned and started walking away again.

He stood there weighing his cons and pros. Damn, the project, damn... she hates me... Damn, isn’t she supposed to be my slave? GAH!

“Faye wait!” he ran up to her again. “Look I’m sorry!” he said quickly.

She stopped but didn’t turn around, “What did you say?” she was going to rub this in for sure.

“I’m sorry,” he sighed defeatedly. She may not have won the pool game but she was planning on winning this.

She turned around to face him, “You mean it?”

“Uh...” sigh, “Yeah.”

“She patted his head, “Good boy.”

He grabbed her hand and brought her close to him so he could look into her eyes, “Just because I said sorry doesn’t mean I’m not holding you to the deal you’ve made.”

She stared in disbelief, he was something else. This guy didn’t know when he was on someone’s last nerve. Or maybe he did and was enjoying it. She looked away.

“So, as my first command,” he started proudly. She looked at him wondering what it could be. “I demand you let me,” he stalled, “Walk you home.”

She sighed, he’d see it sooner or later right? She looked up at him and half smiled. She started to walk away for the millionth time.

“What’re you doing?”

“As I’m told,” was her only answer.

He caught on and followed suit.
