Chapter 2: Correspondence





May 15th, 2006

Spike,

That can’t be your real name, can it? I can’t say that I’ve ever known anyone that would name their child that.


I do have to say you have the bad boy thing working for you though.


What do you do other than eat onion blossoms while listening to the Ramones? (yuck, by the way!)

Buffy,

No, luv. ‘s not my real name. I earned the nick as a boy and it stuck. My parents named me a nice, poncey, English name.


You have something against the onion blossoms or the Ramones? Both of which are of good taste, so if you don’t like them, pet, there’s something wrong with you. ;)


I do love to travel. Obviously I’ve been to England (born there), but also France, China, Africa, South America, and Italy.


Secretly, I enjoy reading and writing, as well, but you didn’t hear it from me.


What about you, luv? Any exciting hobbies? Braiding hair and painting toenails doesn’t count.

Spike,

So what’s the story behind the nickname? It had to be pretty good to earn “spike.” And your real name is……?


I’m so jealous that you have been able to travel as much as you have! What was your favorite place?


BTW, you being English so just bumped up the sexy. When did you move to the good ‘ol US of A?


Just because I don’t like crappy 80’s rock and a plate of onion flavored grease, does not mean there’s something wrong with me! =b


What do you mean braiding hair and painting toenails doesn’t count? I was so going to say that! ;)


Seriously though, I hang with friends, shop (what girl doesn’t shop for fun?), go to the beach, and I hit the Bronze quite frequently.

Any pets?

Sorry, luv, it took me so long to write back. Work has been incredibly busy lately.

It’s funny that you go to the Bronze so often. I’ve never seen you and I’m there at least 4 or 5 times a week.

How I got the nickname really isn’t all that special of a story. When I was 11, I had just moved here with my mother, and adjusting to my new school was difficult. I was not readily accepted by the kids and was picked on horribly. One day on the way to school, I found an old railroad spike. I’m not really sure how it got to where it was, the nearest railroad was about ½ mile away. I thought it was neat and picked it up and carried it to school with me. It was an average day, but for some reason when Xander Harris started to taunt me, I snapped. I pushed him against the wall and pinned his jacket to it with the spike. He was scared of me after that, as were most of the other students, and from that day on I was known as Spike. Funny thing, not too long after this Xander and I became friends. Now we’re best mates and business partners.

My favorite place had to of been Italy. Rome was absolutely spectacular. Exploring the old ruins was fun and the nightlife there was absolutely fantastic.

No, luv, I don’t have any pets right now. I would love a dog, but I don’t have time for one right now.

What would you say your exes miss most about you?

William (pretty name),

You’re at the Bronze 4 to 5 times a week??!! Maybe you should think about joining an AA group or something.

How is it, you guys can do that? You’re at each others throats for months and then after a confrontation, you’re best friends? I’ve know many male friendships to have been started that way. Us girls, we tend to hold grudges way longer than we probably should. You rarely hear about female friendships that start with conflict.


You boys are now business partners, huh? What business do you run?

I’ve always wanted to visit Italy. I know this is going to sound really shallow, but the shops there are supposed to be amazing as well.

What do my exes miss the most about me? That’s an interesting question. I’ve not ever asked my exes if the even miss me, let alone what they miss the most. Hmmmm…
Thinking…. I would say that it’s my spitfire personality. I don’t back down from a challenge.

Would it be really lame to pass the question back to you? Yes, probably, but I’m interested in your answer.

Buffy,

Not everyone can be original, pet, it’s okay. ;) Should I start a list bullet style or paragraph style for what they miss about me? Seriously though, I’ve been told they miss my ability to see right through people’s bullshit. I can read people pretty well.

I’m at the Bronze so often because I own the place. Actually, I own half and Xander owns the other half. So I’m there that often for business purposes. If I want to drink, I tend to go to Willie’s Place. It’s a dive but it’s got a decent crowd.

You know, you girls should work on your anger management. Learn to let go of those grudges.

You didn’t hear this from me, but yes Italy did have great shopping. I only know this because of who I went with. I personally didn’t do any shopping. Really.

So, luv, you never told me what you do for a living.

Spike,

YOU OWN THE BRONZE??!! That is so awesome. You must be banking off that place, it’s always packed! Wait a minute… The Bronze has been around forever and you’re only 28, how’s that work?

Willie’s Place? Decent crowd? You can’t be serious. I’ve been there. It’s a shithole, for lack of better phrasing. It’s all slutty girls and bikers. Come on, the most popular drink there is called Yak Urine. I’ve even heard that they play poker with kittens as bargaining chips! Yeah, real decent place.

My primary job is a high school counselor. It was great at first, talking to “troubled” teens but that wore off when it turned out to be non-stop boy/girl problems. Occasionally, I get someone who’s upset that their parents are splitting up, but those are few and far between. It pays the bills.

My secondary job and my pride and joy, is teaching my own brand of self-defense/ martial arts to women who want to learn. I love it and it keeps me in shape as a bonus.

Buffy,

I didn’t say I was the founder, luv. Remember when the Bronze was a dive a few years ago? The prior owners were not managing properly and were squandering away all the money. They were about to go into bankruptcy, when Xander and I stepped in to buy the place. We had worked there for a number of years as bartenders and knew the owners pretty well. They started having money troubles, So Xan and I started to talk about possibly buying the place if it came to that. We got approved for the loan, bought the club, renovated it, hired good staff, and did a hell of a lot of advertising. The club has more than paid for itself now.

You have something against kitten poker and bikers, luv? You just haven’t been there with the right person. You probably went there with your girly mates. You need to go with someone who can show you how to have a good time.

Your own brand of martial arts/ self defense huh? We’ll have to spar sometime to see who’s brand is better. You said you never back down from a challenge. Consider yourself challenged.

What do you say about seeing if the phone thing will work as well as this e-mail thing has?

-Spike

May 26th, 2006

Spike,

I do remember the Bronze’s transformation a few years ago. You guys did an amazing job. I’m fairly impressed. Plus, no more roaches! Should I thank you or Xander for that one?

So you want to take me to a dive bar and fight with me? You really do know how to show a girl a good time. ;)

I definitely think we could give the phone thing a try--> (714)545-0777

Talk to you soon,

~Buffy
