‘The Crypt’
“Can I get you anything to drink?” Spike asked as the three of them walked further into the restaurant.
Buffy shook her head no.
“No thank you.” Giles replied looking around. “You have a very nice restaurant.”
“Its all Chris’s doing.”
“Chris?” Giles asked turning to his son.
“She’s the head chief here, and my business partner.”
“I think she’s the who who let me in on her way out.”
“That’d be Chris.”
“She did a very good job with the place.”
“I’ll tell her you think so.”
“That would be nice of you.”
“Chris always likes to hear praise about things she does.” Spike said as he showed Buffy and Giles to a booth in the back. “I’ll be in my office doing some paper work if either of you need me.”
“Don’t go far.” Buffy whispered so only Spike could hear her.
“I’ll leave the door open. If you need me just yell.” Spike whispered back before walking to his office.
“Alright, you have me here so lets talk.” Buffy said taking a seat across from Giles.
“Why’d you attack Faith at the club?” Giles asked.
“I thought you wanted to talk about us.”
“This is about us. You’re my wife and what you do effects me.”
“And what you’ve done effects me. Yet you didn’t think it was important to tell me you were married to Spike’s mother when you were telling me about him.”
“I already apologized for that.”
“Do yhinkhink that’s all its takes? A few ‘I’m sorry’ here’s and everything is better. It doesn’t work that way. This isn’t something I can just forgive like you breaking a date because you had to work or had to go out of town. Things like that are forgivable, this isn’t.” Buffy stated.
“So you’re never going to forgive me?” Giles asked.
“Give me a reason I should.”
“Because I love you.”
“Love isn’t always enough, especially when I’m not the only person you love.”
“What?”
“You may love me Rupert, but you’re not in love with me. Maybe you never really were.” Buffy said wishing Spike would come back out from his office. She hated the looked of hurt that was crossing Giles’ face right now.
“You don’t think I was every really in love with you?”
“No, not really. I don’t doubt that you love me, I just doubt how deep that love is.” Buffy explained. “I think that when we first met got got engaged we felt that we were in lovth eth each other, but looking back on that now I think it was us using each other to fill in a part we were missing.”
“You think we married each other for the wrong reasons?”
“I do. I think I was lonely after my mother died and I wanted to feel needed and taken care of again like she use to do.”
“And me?” Giles asked.
“I think you were tired of being alone and you wanted someone who needed you to be there for them.”
“Its over isn’t it?”
“Yeah. You have anceance to be with the person you’re in love with, you should take it.”
“I think I should go now. I’ll be in touch.” Giles said as he stood from the booth and walked out of the restaurant.
“You alright Pet?” Spike asked as he took the seat his father had been sitting in.
“I am. Is the wrong?” Buffy asked looking up at Spike.
“No.”
“You should have seen his face. I’ve never seen him look that hurt, and it was all my doing.”
“It had to be done.”
“Why? Because you say so?” Buffy asked angrily.
“Buffy. . .” Spike started.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. I’m just upset about this whole thing. I knew it had to be done, but I didn’t think it would have been as easy as it was for me to do.”
“It was only easy for you because you knew it was the right thing to do.”
“I guess.”
“How ‘bout I get you cleaned up and then make you my Spike Special.” Spike said as he stood up and offered his hand to her.
“What’s the Spike Special?” Buffy asked as she took a hold of his hand.
“You’ll just hav fol follow me to find out.” Spike said tossing her a sexy grin.
“Leae wae way.” Buffy said with a smile of her own.

‘Spike’s Flat’
Knock-Knock
“Who is it?” Drusilla asked through the door.
“Rupert.”
Drusilla opened the door and stepped aside to let Giles in. “Come in.”
“I hope it’s not to late.” Giles said as he walked in.
“Not at all, Mother’s still awaked and reading in the den, and I was just looking over some American magazines.” Drusilla explained. “I’ll show you the way.”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it.” Drusilla said as she led Giles to where her mother was.
“Mum, Mr. Giles is here to see you.” Drusilla said as she walked into the den.
Anne placed her book down and looked up towards the doorway. “Rupert, what a nice surprise.”
“I’ll just leave you two alone.” Drusilla said walking out of the den only stopping to say one last thing to Giles. “It’s for the best. You’ll see.”
Giles looked after Drusilla in shook as she walked away.
“Rupert, what’s wrong?” Anne asked as she walked over to where he was standing.
Giles turning back to face Anne. “It’s over.”
“What?” Anne asked.
“With Buffy and myself, it’s over.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah.” Giles whispered as he took a seat in one of the chairs.
“What happened?” Anne asked wondering if he had found out about Buffy and William’s kiss.
“It just didn’t work out.”
“I’m sorry Rupert.” Anne said taking a seat across from him. “What was the reason?”
“We weren’t in love with each other.”
“But you married her.”
“We loved each other, it just wasn’t the right kind of love.”
“What’s going to happen next?”
“Next sure.”
“Can I ask you a question?”
“I suppose.”
“Why’d you come here?” Anne asked.
“I needed to see you.” Giles replied.
“Why?”
“Do I need a reason?”
“Of course not. I’ll have Drusilla make us some tea and we can talk.”
“I’d like that.”*********
