Chapter 7
Chapter 7
Another week went by and Spike walked into his old house. He still had a key, so he let himself in and closed the door behind him. He saw that there were no lights on and figured that his dad was working late again and Joyce was at the gallery. He wondered where Buffy was as he headed up the stairs. He got up there just in time to see Buffy walk out of the bathroom, with her hair all wet and a towel around her body. He stopped suddenly and looked away from her. “Oh, dear god.” He whispered to himself, when Buffy then noticed him there.
“Hey, I didn’t know you were coming over.” He turned back to look at her and she didn’t seem at all embarrassed to be standing in front of him in a towel. Spike cleared his throat before he spoke.
“Yeah, just thought I would stop by.” He said trying to make casual conversation and she gave him a smile.
“Okay, just give me a second while I get dressed.” She told him and he nodded as she went into her room and closed the door. Spike let out the breath he was holding and waited for her to come back out. She came out a few minutes later wearing her sweats and Spike was relieved for that. “That’s better; you wanna watch a movie or something? If you’re not doing anything else.” Spike nodded and they both headed downstairs. Buffy put in The Mummy because it was her favorite movie. Spike smiled at her decision. She was the only girl that he knew that liked action movies. Well, except for Faith. All the other girls were into chick flicks and he was just glad that he didn’t have to watch one of those. They sat on the couch as the movie started.

Spike looked over at Buffy when the movie ended and saw that she was asleep. He smiled as he moved away from her and turned the TV off. He then picked her up and went upstairs. He went into her room and placed her on the bed. Just watching her sleep, he realized again how much he really loved her. Spike was really sad when he lost his mother, but he was very grateful for Buffy and Joyce. He gave her a kiss on the forehead and was about to leave, when her voice stopped him. “How did I get up here?” She asked and he gave her a smile.
“I carried you, pet. I can’t believe you fell asleep during the movie. You must have really been tired.” Buffy nodded and sat up.
“You could say that.” She said as she patted the bed and he sat down next to her. “Is something on your mind?” She asked him and he shook his head.
“No, what makes you say that?” Buffy shrugged.
“You’ve been acting weird all week. I have a feeling it’s about more than Faith. You wanna talk about it?” She asked and Spike shook his head again.
“It’s nothing for you to worry about.” Buffy nodded even though she wasn’t convinced. Spike looked at her and knew what has been bothering him. He couldn’t take it anymore. He had to kiss her or he would go crazy. He then leaned closer to her and placed a kiss on her lips. Buffy was surprised at first and then found herself kissing him back. He slipped his tongue into her mouth and started to massage her tongue with his. Spike couldn’t remember anything ever feeling so good. He then pulled away because they both needed to breathe, placing a quick kiss on the tip of her nose. Buffy had her eyes closed and then opened them when he stopped kissing her. They both sat there in silence, neither knowing what to say. Spike decided to be the one to speak first. “I’m sorry; I probably shouldn’t have done that.” Buffy felt hurt by his words and looked away from him. Spike could tell what she was thinking and placed his finger under her chin. He tilted her head up, so she was looking at him again. “I’m not sorry I kissed you, Buffy. I could never be sorry about that. I’m just sorry for the way I did it. You were surprised and you probably didn’t want it.” Buffy shook her head and grasped his hand in hers.
“I did want it.” She said in a low voice and Spike tilted his head to look at her better.
“You did?” Buffy nodded and took a deep breath before telling him what she needed to.
“I’ve always had such a huge crush on you, Spike. Ever since I was a little girl. You’re older than me and could get anyone you want. I never thought you would have ever noticed me.” Spike couldn’t believe that she thought that.
“I have always noticed you. You’re all I can bloody think about, Buffy. I never made a move before because I was afraid that I would scare you away. I didn’t think you would see me as anything more than a brother.” Buffy smiled at him.
“I definitely don’t think of you as a brother. I never really did.” Spike gave her a smile also.
“That works out nicely then.” He said as he kissed her again. This time putting more passion behind the kiss. They knew that things wouldn’t be easy for them if they were going to be together. Their parents were married and nothing would ever change that. Spike just hoped that they would understand because there was no way he was going to give her up.

Joyce was out walking the streets when she was done at the gallery. She decided to head to the Espresso Pump for a cappuccino and when she got there, she suddenly stopped. She looked in the window and saw Giles sitting down and talking with a dark haired woman, who looked a little younger than him. She kept staring, when Giles suddenly put his hand on the woman’s and smiled at her. Joyce tried not to cry at the scene as she turned and walked away, feeling her heart break into a million pieces.
