Chapter 6

*****

The Giles’ Residents

After Buffy had made it back to her home she had spent the next few hours crying hidden away in her bedroom with the phone unplugged. She didn’t know way she cared so much what Spike thought of her, all she knew was that he had hurt her in a way she didn’t know was possible to still hurt her in. After everything that had happened with Faith Buffy had pretty much kept herself from ever really feeling anything again. That’s probably why she had ended up marring Rupert, so she wouldn’t have to worry about her heart breaking anymore. She knew that Rupert loved her and that was all she needed to know when she said ‘I do’ to him a few months ago. Now, here she was feeling hurt again in a way she never wanted to be hurt.

“Buffy are you home?” Willow called out as she entered her friend’s house with Spike close behind. “Buffy?” Willow called out again as she made her way up the stairs. “Buff. . .There you are. I’ve been trying to get hold of you since you ran out of the restaurant.” Willow stated as she walked into her friend’s bedroom.

“I needed to be alone.” Buffy said as she sat up on her bed to face Willow.

“What happened?” Willow asked as she took a seat next to her friend.

“Faith’s right.”

“About what?” Willow asked unsure which part of the conversation from lunch that Buffy was taking about.

“Everything.” Buffy stated.

“You don’t mean that.”

“Yes I do. Both Angel and Riley slept with her while they were dating me, which means I most have done something wrong.”

“No Buffy, you didn’t do anything wrong. They were just weak little men who didn’t know a good thing when they had it.” Willow stated trying to make the blonde feel better.

“She’s right about Spike too. I’m extremely attracted to him.”

Willow looked towards the door knowing that Spike was waiting out there for his chance to talk with Buffy. “Some times you can’t help who you’re attracted to.”

“He’s Rupert’s son. I’m attracted to my husband’s son Willow.” Buffy stated trying to make Willow understand what she was saying better.

“So you’ve said.”

“He thinks I’m a gold digger.” Buffy whispered.

“No I don’t.” Spike stated as he walked into the room.

*****

“How. . .How long have you been standing there?” Buffy questioned as she stood up from her spot on the bed.

“Long enough.” Spike stated as he walked into the room.

“What did you hear?” Buffy asked worried he had heard her tell Willow that she was extremely attracted to him.

“I heard you tell Red here that I thought you were a gold digger.” ‘And that you’re attracted to me.’ He added in his head.

“That’s all?”

“Isn’t that enough?”

“Um, I’ll just leave the two of you alone to work this out.” Willow stated as she made her way to the room’s door.

“Willow.” Buffy hissed.

“I’ll see you both tonight at nine.” Willow said with a small smile on her face trying to ignore Buffy’s evil glare.

“Willow you can’t leave.” Buffy pleaded as she walked over towards her friend.

“You’ll be fine.” ‘I hope.’ “I’ve got to go, I told Tara that I’d pick up some things from the store.”

“I’ll walk you out then.” Buffy stated.

“No need.” Willow replied.

“I insist.” Buffy said as she grabbed a hold of Willow’s upper arm. “I’ll be right back.” She called over her shoulder to Spike.

“Fine.” Spike stated nodding his head.

“Are you out of your mind?” Buffy asked as she and Willow made it down the stairs to the front door. “With everything I just told you, you’re going to leave me alone with him?”

Willow looked at her friend for a moment. “Buffy do you love Giles?”

Buffy nodded her head.

“Then you won’t let anything happen between you and Spike.” Willow stated.

“I hope you’re right.” Buffy said in a low whisper.

‘So do I.’ “The both of you need to work things out before Giles gets home.”

“He thinks I’m a gold digger.”

“Did he say that?” Willow asked in her all knowing tone.

“No, but he thought it.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” Buffy stated right away.

“Buffy?”

“No, I didn’t let him say anything. I just accused him and walked/ran out of the restaurant.”

“Maybe you should hear him out.”

“I hate it when you do this.” Buffy stated as she slumped her shoulders down.

“Do what?”

“This thing,” Buffy said pointing to Willow then back to her. “where you talk things out and make me see the error of my way.”

“That’s my job, and also what best friends are for.”

“If you were really my best friend you wouldn’t leave me alone with a man who isn’t my husband that I find extremely attractive.”

“You’re going to have to be alone with him sooner or later.”

“I pick later.”

“Buffy.” Willow said crossing her arms over her chest and arching an eyebrow.

“Fine.” Buffy sighed. “Go, I’ll try to be an adult just this once.”

“Good.” Willow said as she walked over to the door and opened as Buffy started to head towards the stairs. “Oh, and Buffy?”

“Yeah?” Buffy asked as she turned to face Willow again.

“Don’t kill him. I don’t think Giles would be very happy if he came home and his wife had murdered his son.” ‘Or found the two of you in bed together.’

“I’ll try my best.” Buffy stated with a small smile on her face.

“Alright.”

“I’ll see you at nine.”

“I’ll be there.”

“Bye Wills.”

“Bye.” Willow said as she closed the door and headed towards her car.

Buffy took a deep breath before she opened the bedroom door and walked inside.

“You came back.” Spike stated in shock as he turned to face her.

“I said I would.”

“Yes you did.”

Buffy and Spike looked at each other for a moment not really knowing where to start the conversation at.

“I’m sorry about earlier. I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions the way I did.”

“It’s alright.” Spike stated.

Another moment passed before Spike spoke again. “I don’t think you’re a gold digger.” He said as he closed the distance between them.

“What do you think I am?” Buffy asked as she looked up into his eyes.

Spike took another step closer. “A very attractive woman, who I wish I’d met first.”

Buffy breath caught in her throat as Spike lowered his head towards her own. “I married to you father.” She whispered.

“Not sayin’ you’re not.” He stated with his lips inches from hers.

“We can’t do this.” Buffy whispered repeating it in her mind over and over again and again.

“Why not?”

“Because it’s wrong.” Buffy stated as she stepped away from him and turned her back.

Spike ran a hand through his hair. “Just tell me that I’m not the only one feelin’ this.”

“You already know that.”

“Tell me.” Spike said as he reached for her arm and turned her to face him again.

“You’re not, but nothing can happen.” Buffy stated, before pulling out of Spike hold and walking out of the room.
