Chapter 5
Spike knocked on the door of the Summers home just as Buffy reached the bottom step. Unlocking the door she looked at him as if he was mirage, shaking her head she headed into the kitchen, leaving Spike standing on the doorstep. He let himself in and closed the door behind him following the Slayer to the kitchen to greet Joyce.
"Nibblet up yet?" He asked as he took a slice of toast of Buffy's plate while her back was turned. She turned around and scowled at him as he bit into it.
"She's trying to find some clothes that make her look grown up." Joyce told him conspiratorially.
"She needs something tatty." Spike told her. "We're gonna do up the bedrooms. She'll ruin nice clothes." He gave a conspiratorial smile and strolled to the bottom of the stairs. "Bit!? Wear something old. If you haven't got any old clothes just wear your sisters!"
Dawn appeared at the top of the stairs and laughed. She was dressed in a faded pink long sleeved shirt and a pair of Buffy's dungarees. "Way ahead of you." She joked as she laced up her sneakers and made her way to the kitchen.
"Mom? Is it ok if I spend the day at Spike's?" She asked sweetly, smiling at Buffy. Her sister was definitely not a morning person.
"Wouldn't it have been more polite to ask that before Spike arrived to pick you up?" Joyce asked.
"Please mommy?"
"Be back a little earlier today please." Joyce relented
"Mom?" Buffy asked. "You're letting him take her?"
"Oh Buffy. Don't be so melodramatic. They're going to decorate his new place."
"He has a new place?" Buffy asked confused.
"You didn't think he was going to live in that crypt forever did you? He just needed to get his life together." Joyce smiled as she thought of the plans Spike had talked about the previous night.
"But he's a vampire mom. They don't have lives. They live in crypts and drink blood. Evil remember?"
"That's such a judgmental thing to say Buffy. Angel never lived in a crypt did he? Spike wants to be a good man. He's really trying to get his life together."
Buffy ground her teeth at the comparison to her previous boyfriend. It was obviously pointless to try to convince her mother of Spike's true nature. She would have to speak to Giles about what was going on.
Spike sent Dawn up to open the door while he waited for the furniture men to arrive with his new stuff. She threw the keys on the side and ran up the stairs to her bedroom, grabbing the lilac paint on the way. There was no need for dustsheets as the only thing in the room was her, and the wooden floor was apparently washable. Prising open the tin of paint she stared in disgust. Floating on top of the purple underneath was a greasy grey watery liquid. She replaced the lid quickly and left it in her room while she went back down to Spike.
