Chapter 18
Buffy wandered the reception hall, watching as couples mingled together on the dance floor. She smiled as Xander spun Anya and proceeded to dip her. When he at drt dropped her on the floor, Buffy laughed.
Probably time to close up the bar, She thought to herself, noticing that the champagne fountain had nearly run dry.
"Hello, gorgeous."
Oh, that voice...
She turned around to find Spike slouched against one of the banquet tables.
Raising an eyebrow, she took in his disheveled appearance. "More wrestling with Xander?"
He slowly stood. "He just got a little touchy when I informed him that I was the one who put that Barbie dress on the groom."
Buffy giggled and reached out to pluck some stray frosting from his cheek. "It was nice of you to lend him your coat for the reception." Putting her finger into her mouth, she slowly licked off the icing. "I take it that you and Xander have made up, then?"
Spike gulped, avidly watching her mouth. "Huh?"
Trailing that finger along her bottom lip, she gave him a feline grin. "You? Xander? Friends?"
He narrowed his eyes at her and snatched her hand away from her mouth.
"Yeah, we're friends."
Smirking, he sucked the frosting-coated digit into his mouth. Cleaning it thoroughly with his tongue, he pulled it out again with a loud pop.
Buffy's eyes glazed over and she swayed towards him for a kiss.
Lacing his fingers with hers, he turned and tugged her towards the dance floor.
"C'mon, kitten. Let's dance."
She pouted. "Don't wanna dance. Wanna go back to the closet."
Smiling, he brought her in for a quick kiss.
"Dance first, fuck later." He replied mockingly, reminiscent of their conversation earlier in the church.
She rolled her eyes. "Very funny."
"Well, I try." He said, leading her onto the dance floor.
"All right, everyone," The DJ shouted into his microphone. "This is the last song of the evening. So find that special someone and hold 'em close, kids... 'cause happiness is fleeting. We've got to do the best with what we're given, and appreciate what we've got."
Spike raised an eyebrow. "Words of wisdom from a DJ?"
Buffy shrugged and put her arms around his neck.
"You guys have been great. Please remember Randy Giles for all your DJ needs in the future! Now, without further ado... the last dance."
The soft sounds of a rock ballad filled the reception hall.
***
If I could make a wish,
I think I’d pass.
Can’t think of anything I need.
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound.
Nothing to eat, no books to read...
***
Buffy sighed deeply and rested her head against Spike's chest. Who would have thought four years ago that this is where she'd be today? It all seemed so unreal.
Gazing down at her golden head, Spike inhaled her scent and gathered her closer to him. This moment felt so perfect. Being with her here, right now... was enough for him. It would be enough for him for the rest of his life.
***
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask?
There’s nothing left to be desired.
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak.
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.
***
Buffy lifted her head and gazed up into his fathomless eyes. Eyes to drown in, that's what she'd always thought. She wanted to drown in those eyes tonight. Screw whatever hesistation she had, she was going to really tell him how she felt.
Running his fingers through her hair, he tilted her head to his for a kiss. Lips so moist and sweet, she always tasted of strawberries... and tonight, champagne. His girl. His soft, warm woman.
***
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe,
And to love you.
All I need is the air that I breathe,
Yes to love you.
All I need is the air that I breathe...
***
"Spike," She started, taking a deep breath to steady herself. "I love you. I think I've always loved you. These feelings I have for you, I've never felt that way about anyone else. Before, it was always like there was a piece missing inside of me. Being with you, it makes me feel whole... complete." She blushed and looked down. "I know you can't stay here, that you have ties in London. I just couldn't let you go without telling you how I feel about you."
"Buffy," He murmured, grasping her chin and forcing her to look at him. "There's never been anyone else for me but you. I love you."
Eyes shining with hopeful tears, she leaned up to capture his lips once more.
***
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak.
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.
***
Caressing her back, Spike murmured into her ear.
"You know, my Da's been talking about opening up a branch in California. They're still looking for someone to head it up..."
Buffy looked up at him. "Is that what you really want? I couldnstanstand for you to move here just to please me."
He smiled and tucked ray ray curl behind her ear. "Of co it\ it's what I want, you idiot. I couldn't stand to be away you you."
Buffy smiled. "Aw, that's so sweet." She paused. "Wait a second... did you just call me an idiot?!"
Spike rolled his eyes. "And on that note..."
Fishing around in his pocket, he dropped to one knee. Pulling out a jeweler's box, he opened it to reveal a princess-cut diamond ring.
"Buffy, will you marry me?"
***
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe,
And to love you.
All I need is the air that I breathe,
Yes to love you.
All I need is the air that I breathe...
***
Buffy stood open-mouthed in shock.
Looking up at her, he took her hand.
"I know that this is sudden... but it doesn't feel that way to me. I've known you for nearly my entire life. You see me in a way that no one else does. You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me HAPPY." He shrugged. "You make me really angry sometimes as well, but that's besides the point."
Buffy hid a smile.
"I know you have to finish school, it's important to you. Well, it's important to me as well, and I want to be there with you for it. I want to be there with you for everything, B. I . I don't want to miss one more moment of our life together."
Discomfitted by her silence, he began to fidget. "Uh... so... what do you say? Wanna get hitched?"
"What do I say?" She repeated, voice monotone.
He nodded, looking at her apprehensively.
"What do I SAY?!" She shrieked, falling to her knees beside him. "I say YES, you big dummy!"
Grinning widely, he took her hand and carefully placed the ring on her finger.
"Oh... it's so beautiful." She whispered, watching as the lights glinted off of the diamond.
"No," Spike retorted, bringing her face to his. "YOU are beautiful. And now you're mine."
"Only yours." She murmured, wrapping her arms around him and kissing him deeply.

The crowd cheered.

"See?" Xander said, looking over to where Spike and Buffy still sat on the floor kissing. "I told you they'd be great together."
Anya rolled her eyes.
"Whatever you say, sweetheart."
