The Giles’ Residence – The Next Morning
“Mornin’ Luv. How are you fe’?” ’?” Spike asked as he walked into Buffy’s room carrying a glass of a red liquid in one of his hands.
“Like I jumped off a 100ft tower in order to save the world from the forces of darkness.” Buffy moaned as she sat up in her bed.
“Know how that feels.” Spike stated moving closer to the bed and setting the glass on one of the nightstands by the bed.
“Do you know how to make it so I don’t feel this way?” Buffy asked.
“A few.”
“What are they?”
“Number one, never drink that much.”
“It’s a little late for that one. Next?”
“Drink this.” Spike said handing her the glass.
“Uhg. . .it’s awful.” Buffy said handing the drink back to him. “Do you have anything else that woul work?”
“Only one other thing.” Spike said still holding the glass.
“What is it?”
“A good shag.” Spike stated with a smirk on his face.
“Hand me the drink.” Buffy said holding out her hand.
“Thought that would work.”
“What was in that?” Buffy asked handing him the now empty glass.
“You don’t want to know.” Spike told her as he set the glass back down on the same nightstand.
“You’re probably right.”
Spike looked at Buffy for a moment remembering what had happened last night. “What do you remember about last night?”
Buffy thought about it for a moment before looking up at Spike. “We went to ‘The Factory’, then Faith showed up, and everything after that is blank.”
“I see.” Spike said nodding his head.
“Why? What did I do?” Buffy asked.
“It’s not important.”
“Yes it is. What did I do?” Buffy asked again before her eyes got really wide.
‘Has anyone ever told you that you have nice arms?’
‘Not today.’
‘Well you do. Nice and firm.’
‘. . .you smell nice.’
“Oh god!”
“What?” Spike asked not sure what she had possibly remembered.
Buffy ran a hand through her hair before looking back towards Spike. “I was totally hitting on you last night.”
“Kinda.” Spike said with a smirk on his face.
“I am so sorry. That should have never happened. You must think I’m a horrible wife.”
“Not at all.” Spike said taking a seat next to her on the bed. “You just can’t hold your liquor very well.”
Buffy looked down for a moment than back up at Spike. “We didn’t. . .you know.”
“No, you passed out after you told me I smelled nice.” Spike said with a chuckle.
“Oh.” Buffy whispered.
“Do you remember anything else that happened?”
“Let me try.” Buffy said before closing her eyes and thinking.
‘Angel dumped me. Scott dumped me to be with guys. Riley left me, only to come back almost a year later with a wife.’
‘Faith’s slept with every guy I’ve ever had a long term relationship with except for Rupert, but I wouldn’t put it past her to do that as well.’
‘Now she’s gonna do Spike too.’
‘What’s so great about her? How is Faith better than me?’
“Remember anything?” Spike asked after she opened her eyes again.
Buffy slowly nodded her head. “My friends must hate me.”
“Why’s that?”
“I ruined their night. How could they not hate me? I hate me.”
“It wasn’t that bad.”
“How would you know? You spent most of the night with Faith.” Buffy bit back.
“Jealous Luv.”
‘Yes!’ Buffy’s mind screamed. “Of you and Faith? Not likely.”
Spike held up a hand in a surrendering manner. “It just sounded like maybe you were.”
“Well I wasn’t okay.” Buffy said crossing her arms over her chest.
“So you won’t mind if Faith and I get together tonight?” Spike asked.
Buffy’s eyes widened even more. ‘Oh god!’ “Get together?” Buffy asked playing dumb.
“Yeah you know, as in a date.” Spike replied.
“A date?”
“You do remember what a date is don’t you?”
“Of course I remember what a date is.” Buffy answered. ‘I just haven’t been on one since I married your father.’
“That’s good to hear.”
After a few moments a silence Buffy spoke again. “So, you have a date with Faith tonight?”
“Yeah.” Spike said nodding his head. “Is that a problem?”
‘Of course it’s a problem you asswipe.’ Buffy thought. “Do you like her?”
“Wouldn’t be goin’ out with her if I didn’t.” Spike replied.
“Even after everything you’ve heard about her?” Buffy questioned.
“It’s only one side of the story. I like to give a person a chance no matter what they’ve done in the past.”
“That’s very noble of you.” Buffy said sarcastically before claiming out of the bed. “I need to shower.” She called over her shoulder on her way to the master bathroom.
“Buffy.” Spike called after her.
“Yeah?” Buffy asked turning to face him at the doorway.
“I told Red you’d call her today.”
“I’ll do that when I get out. Thanks for telling me.”
“Sure. I’ll be down stairs if you need me for anything.” Spike said as he walked towards the bedroom door.
“Alright. I won’t be long.” Buffy said as he closed the door.

“Come on Wills.” Buffy repeated into the end of the phone.
Ring-Ring
“Pick-up. Pick-up.”
Ring-Ring
“Where are. . .”
“Hello?”
“Willow?”
“Yeah?”
“What took you so long to answer the phone?”
“Mom?” Willow questioned.
“It’s Buffy.”
“Oh Buffy. Hey.”
“Is it a bad time?” Buffy asked. “Spike told me that I was suppose to call you.”
“Oh that’s right. Are you okay?” Willow asked. “Did anything happen last night?”
“I’m fine, Spike gave me something for my hangover. And to answer your other question, no nothing happened last night. I passed out when he put me in the car and didn’t wake up until this morning.”
“Where?”
“In my bedroom.” Buffy answered not really knowing why Willow was asking this.
“What were you wearing?”
“The same thing I wore to the club last night with a t-shirt over the top, minus a pair of shoes.”
“Just checking.”
Buffy laughed for a moment before getting serious again. “I’m sorry about last night.”
“It’s okay Buffy. We all understand.”
“I don’t deserve friends as good as you guys are.”
“You were just having a bad night, we all have them.”
“He’s got a date with her tonight.”
“Who’s got a date with whom tonight?” Willow asked not knowing whom Buffy was talking about, but having a pretty good idea.
“Spike and Faith.” Buffy whispered.
“Oh. Are you okay with that?”
“Not really. And I know it shouldn’t bug me but it does.”
“Are you jealous?” Willow asked.
“Yes, and I shouldn’t be. I’m a married woman, I shouldn’t care who Spike s.” s.”
“I’m sure everything will be better once Giles gets back and Spike moves into his own place. You can get back to the original plan then.”
“Right. The plan.” Buffy said slowly nodding her head.
“Buffy I’ve got to go. Want me to stop by tonight?”
“No, that’s okay. I think I’ll take a nice bubble bath and just relax while I have the house to myself.”
“Okay. Bye.”
“Bye Wills.” Buffy said into the phone before hanging up on her end.
