A few hours later after talking with Willow a bit longer Buffy decided that she didn’t want the amount of stress she had in her life right now with everything dealing with Giles and his family.

‘Spike’s Flat’
Knock-Knock
“William there’s someone at the door.” Anne called out from the living room.
“I’m coming.” Spike called back as he walked out of the study and towards the front door.
Knock-Knock
“Buffy. . .” Spike whispered as he open the door.
“Hey.” She said with a small smile.
“Hey.” He said back.
“Can I come in?” Buffy asked.
“Oh! Sure, right this way.” Spike said stepping away from the door to let her in.
“Thanks.” Buffy said as she walked past him.
Ring-Ring
“Excuse me, that’ll be Dru.” Spike said before walking over to the phone. “Hello.”
“William.”
“Dru it’s been over five hours I think it’s time to come home.”
“Just a little longer.”
“You said that two hours ago.”
“Fine, I’ll come home.”
“Thank you.”
“Say ‘Hi” to Buffy for me.”
Spike turned back to face where Buffy was standing by the door. “How’d. . .nevermind, just come home.”
“I’ll be there soon.”
“Bye.”
“Bye.”
Spike hung up the phone and walked back over to Buffy. “Dru says hi.”
“How’d she know I was here?” Buffy asked.
“Don’t ask, it’s just something she can do.”
“Like the comment she made in the airport?”
Spike nodded his head. “Yeah, like that.”
“William was that your sister?” Anne asked as she made her way towards the door.
“She said she’s on her way home.” Spike answered.
“Good. Who was at the. . .Hello Buffy.” Anne said as she came to a stop in the hallway.
“Hi.”
“What brings you by?” Anne asked.
“You actually.” Buffy replied. “I was hoping we could talk.”
“I think that’s a good idea. We can talk out on the balcony.” Anne said holding out an arm motioning in that direction.
“Sure.”
Knowing this was going to be a private discussion Spike thought it was best to leave them alone. “I’ll be in the study if either of you need me.”
“Alright William.” Anne said before turning her full attention to Buffy. “This way Buffy.”
“Thanks.”
*****
“So, what did you want to talk about?” Anne asked as the two of them took a seat at the small table that was set on the balcony.
Buffy placed her hands in her lap before speaking. “My behavior for one. I don’t usually lose my temper the way I have been these past couple of days.”
“It’s understandable. All this has been somewhat of a shock to the both of us.”
“I just wanted to apologize. I have nothing against you personally, from what Spike’s told me about you you’re a wonderful person and mother.”
“My son says the same thing about you, except for the mother part. You’re not a mother are you?”
A small smile spread across Buffy’s face as she shock her head. “No, not yet. I’d like to be one day though.”
“I’m sure you’d make a great mother when the time is right. I want you to know that I have nothing against you as well.”
Buffy’s face turned serious. “Except that I’m married to the man you’re still in love with.”
“Except that.” Anne said with a nod. “I’m sure you feel the same way.”
“Not as much as I should.”
“But some none the less.”
“Some.” Buffy agreed.
“What are your feelings towards my son?” Anne asked trying to see if she could get Buffy to spill the secret that was being kept.
“Excuse me?” Buffy asked not knowing where that question had come from.
“You can’t hide it from me. I’ve seen the way you and William look at each other when you think no one’s watching, and how your body language is whenever you touch.”
Buffy stood from her seat. “I’m sorry but I think you’re letting your eyes play tricks on you.”
“Maybe I am, maybe I’m not.” Anne replied as she stood up as well.
“You are.” Buffy stated as she walked off the balcony and back into the living room.
“If that’s the case then why aren’t you wearing your wedding ring?” Anne asked pointing to Buffy’s ring finger.
Buffy looked down at her hand then back up to Anne. “I. . .um. . .” ‘Think Buffy think.’ “I didn’t want anything to happen to it while I was working at my gallery.” ‘Good job. That’s a very believable reason.’ Buffy thought not knowing why she didn’t just tell Anne what she wanted to hear.
“I see.” Anne said with a nod.
“I should be going now. I’ve done what I came here to do.”
“I’ll show you to the door.”
“You don’t have to.”
Anne smiled. “I’m being polite.”
“Alright then.” Buffy said knowing this woman wasn’t going to give up until she had her way.
“William come say goodbye to Buffy.” Anne called as she and Buffy walked towards the front door.
“That’s not necessary.” Buffy replied.
“Of course it is.”
“You called?” Spike asked as he walked over to them.
“Yes, Buffy’s on her way out. I thought you could walk her to her car.” Anne stated.
“Um, yeah sure.”
“Good.” Anne said before turning to face Buffy again. “Thank you for dropping by. Please feel free to do so again.”
“Thanks.” Buffy said not sure how to take what Anne was doing.
“I’ll be right back.” Spike said as he opened the door for Buffy.
Anne patted Spike on the back. “No rush. I’m going to start dinner.”
*****
“Why do I have the feeling that your mother is trying to push us together?” Buffy asked as they waited for the elevator to reach the top.
“‘Cause she is.” Spike answered.
“Why?”
“I’m sure she has some crazy reason.” Spike said as the elevator doors slowly opened.
“William! Buffy!” Drusilla said with a smile as she walked off.
“It’s about time you showed up.” Spike muttered.
“Hello to you too my darling brother.”
“Hello Dru.”
“Hey Drusilla.” Buffy said as she gave the girl a small hug.
“Are you leaving?” Drusilla asked.
“Yeah.”
“Oh, I was hoping I could show you what I bought today.”
“Maybe some other time.” Buffy offered.
“Okay.”
“I’m walking Buffy to her car. Mum’s startin’ dinner, will you go help her and I’ll be back up soon.”
“Sure.” Drusilla said walking over to the apartment door. “Bye Buffy.”
“Bye Drusilla.”
Once inside the elevator Spike pushed the lobby button and waited for the doors to close.
Buffy was giving Spike’s body a once over before her gaze stopped at his lips. “Spike can I ask you a favor?”
“Depends on the favor.” Spike said turning to face Buffy fully.
“Kiss me.”
“What!?” ‘Did she just ask me to do what I think she asked me to do?’
“Kiss meuffyuffy repeated. “Please, I haven’t been able to get the way your lips feel against my body out of my head all day.”
“Don’t have to ask me twice, well actually you did, but. . .”
“Spike!” Buffy yelled.
“Right, kiss.” Spike said before pulling Buffy fully against him and crashing his lips to hers. After what seemed like forever Spike and Buffy pulled away for some much needed air. “I guess it’s safe to say this one time thing isn’t going to work.”
Buffy shook her head. “Nope, not in the lest bit.” Buffy replied before attacking his lips again.
“I’m glad.” Spike said as they pulled away again. “That’s one promise I really didn’t want to keep.”
As the elevator door opened the blonde couple walked out and into the lobby then made their way to where Buffy’s car was parked.
“Meet me later.”
“Where?” Spike asked as he opened the car door for her.
“‘The Factory’.”
“That’s not a very private place.”
“It’s not meant to be.” Buffy replied as she got in and started up her car rolling the window down so she could still talk to Spike with the door closed.
“What time?”
“Nine-thirty.”
“I’ll be there.” Spike answered before leaning in through the window and giving Buffy one last kiss goodbye total unaware of the older woman standing out on the balcony looking down at them.
