‘Summer’s Gallery’
“You’re late.” Willow called out as she saw Buffy walking towards her.
“I know, sorry.” Buffy said as she grabbed her keys out of her purse and opened the gallery door.
“Rough night?” Willow asked as she followed Buffy into the gallery.
“Something like that.” Buffy answered as she turned on the lights and put in the code for the alarm.
“Wanna talk about it?”
“Not now.”
“I’m here when ever you’re ready.”
“Thanks.” Buffy whispered as she moved Willow into the many part of the gallery.
“Wow!” Willow gasped. “This is going to take a lot of work.”
“It only looks like a lot becaus’s n’s not clean yet.” Buffy said as she looked around at all the dust and cobwebs that had been calling this place home for the past few years.
“What happens after it’s clean?”
Buffy ran the main parts through her head. “New piping.”
“Then?”
“New floors.”
“Then?” Willow asked again.
“Re-paint the walls.”
“Then?”
“Let’s just start with those.” Buffy said knowing the list was much longer.
“Good idea.” Willow replied.
“Do you think the others will help?” Buffy asked as they walked around.
“Tara and I will.” Willow answered. “I’m sure Xandnd And Angel will lend a hand. Anya has ‘The Magic Box’ to run, and Cordy might help with telling you where to put the art work.”
Buffy nodded her head. “And Spike said he’d help.”
Willow stopped walking and turned to face Buffy. “I thought the plan was to stay away from Spike as much as possible?”
Buffy sighed knowing where this was going before it even started. “I need all the muscle I can get right now Wills. The plan will take place after my gallery’s up and running.” She added the last part in hopes that Willow would just drop it but knew it wasn’t true, not after last night.
Willow looked at Buffy with wide eyes. “You already broke every part of the plan.”
“What?” Buffy asked innocently.
“You did.” Willow said accusingly.
“I did what?”
“How could you Buffy?”
“How could I what?”
“You slept with him.” Willow stated.
Buffy made a fake gasp of shock. “I did no such thing.”
“Yes you did.” Willow said pointing a finger at Buffy. “I know what you look like the day after you’ve spent all night makin’ hot money love, I was you’re room mate in college for a while.” Willow stated. “You slept with Spike. You slept with your stepson.”
Buffy threw her hands in the air. “So what if I did.”
“Buffy you’re a married woman.”
“So?”
“Buffy. . .” Willow said with a tilt to her head.
“Stop looking at me that way.” Buffy said as she crossed her arms over her chest. “Alright. I slept with Spike. I’m a horrible person.”
“Why?” Willow asked.
“Why am I a horrible person?”
“Why’d you sleep with Spike?”
“Because I met his mother.” Buffy replied.
“Not following you there.”
“I met Spike’s mother yesterday.”
“So you slept with him?”
Buffy shook her head. “No, I slept with him because I wanted to.”
“Then how does his mother fit into this?” Willow questioned.
“She use to be married to my husband.” Buffy stated.
“Huh?” Willow asked in shock.
“That’s right. Giles was married to Spike’s mother for four years.”
“And he didn’t tell you?”
“No, she told me after she found out I was his new wife.”
“Wow!” Was the only thing Willow could think to say at that moment.
“And he’s still in love with her.” Buffy added.
“How do you know that?”
“Because it took him over two hours to tell her I was his wife.”
“So because of all this you slept with Spike?” Willow asked trying to put everything together.
“No, I slept with Spike because I wanted to.” Buffy said again. “The reason why it happened last night is because I knew he cared about me and wanted to be with me just as much as I wanted him.”
“What about Faith?” Willow questioned wondering if Buffy had thought about that part of the equation.
“What about her?” Buffy asked.
‘Nope, hasn’t thought about that yet.’ “Isn’t she dating Spike?”
“So?”
“Buffy.”
“We agreed it was a one night thing.” Buffy stated.
“Like your affair with Angel.”
Buffy rolled her eyes at Willow’s comment. “God! Why is everyone throwing that back in my face today?”
“Huh?” Willow asked in confusion.
“Earlier Giles brought it up.”
“I thought I was the only outside party that knew about that.” Willow stated.
“Willow.”
“Right, so not the point.”
“I know what you’re thinking, but this is nothing like with Angel.”
“He was dating Cordelia.”
“He still is.”
“Spike’s dating Faith.”
“It’s not going to happen again.” Buffy said more for herself than Willow.
“That’s what you said about Angel, and that lasted for almost three months.” Willow said sarcastically.
“Can we just drop this?” Buffy asked not wanting to think about the past.
Willow nodded her head. “Yeah, I just don’t want to see you get hurt.”
Buffy looked down at where her wedding ring should be. “I already am.” She whispered.
