Spike sat on the couch flicking through the channels aimlessly waiting for Buffy to come home from shopping. She had been gone almost all day and he was starting to miss her. Spike had talked to Xander earlier and the two men decided to take the girls to do something a bit different that evening. Spike wasn’t sure if Buffy and Willow would agree to it, but if they did, it would definitely be an interesting night.
Willow and Buffy sat in the small restaurant at the mall eating lunch. Buffy had somehow avoided the whole Spike conversation all day and was somewhat relieved. She wasn’t quite sure how to explain to her red headed friend that she was falling for Spike.
Willow had let Buffy get away with not telling her about what happened the day before while they had been shopping, but now it was time for her to spill. Willow wiped her mouth and looked Buffy straight in the eyes. “Okay Buffy, I’ve kept my mouth shut all day about Spike and let you off the hook, but enough is enough, spill,” Willow demanded with her patented resolve face.
Buffy let out a sigh. Well, it was nice while it lasted. Buffy took a sip of her water and began to explain to Willow about the previous afternoon. “Okay. Right before you got to Giles’ yesterday……..” Buffy hesitated for a moment before she blurted out, “Spike kissed me. Again.” Buffy watched Willow intently waiting for her inevitable outburst. Buffy was a little surprised by Willow’s reaction.
Willow looked at her friend with a calm look on her face. “I figured as much.”
Buffy stared at her friend with wide eyes and her mouth hung open. Realizing how ridiculous she must look, Buffy snapped her mouth shut before asking in complete shock, “You knew? Why didn’t you say something?”
Willow grinned and shrugged her shoulders. “I just figured you’d tell me when you were ready,” then giving the blond sitting across from her a pointed look she added, “I just didn’t think it would take you so long.”
“Sorry, I just didn’t know WHAT to say,” Buffy explained apologetically.
“So you still haven’t told him how you feel about him?” she asked knowingly.
“I’m not really sure if I know exactly how feel about him.” Willow raised a brow at her. “Okay so I know I like him as more than a friend, but how much more?” Buffy pointed out.
Willow thought about what Buffy had said. In all honesty, Buffy was probably telling the truth. Willow knew from experience how it felt to like someone, but still be unsure of exactly how you really felt. Giving Buffy a sympathetic look, Willow tried to reassure her friend. “Buffy I totally understand how you feel, just don’t wait to long to figure out how you really feel. Spike’s a good guy, and any girl would be lucky to have him.”
Buffy felt a surge of jealousy course threw her at the thought of Spike with another woman. She tried to mask her feelings, but Willow saw right threw them.
Willow chuckled at her friend. “Buffy you should see the look on your face. You look like you want to rip the arm off of someone and beat them with it and all I did was mention the possibility of Spike with someone else,” Willow pointed out. “That alone should tell you that you feel pretty strongly about Spike.”
Buffy played her usual denial card. “Willow I’m not jealous,” she denied indignantly.
Willow arched a brow at her. “So let’s just say if maybe, I don’t know, Harmony Kendall was to proposition him, you wouldn’t care,” Willow taunted.
Buffy felt her cheeks burn with anger. “Spike would never go for that slut bag,” Buffy snapped defensively. Willow laughed. “See I just proved my point. You are jealous,” Willow said proudly.
Buffy scowled at her friend. “Shut up.”
Willow grinned like a mad person. Just as she was about to retort, her cell phone rang. Digging it out of her bag, she looked at the caller ID and smiled.
“Hey you, what’s going on?” Willow greeted cheerfully. Willow listened as the person on the other end talked and began to blush furiously. Buffy gave her a quizzical look and Willow gestured to her that she would explain in a minute. “Well I can ask her, but I can tell you right now the answer will be no. Okay, hold on,” Willow put her hand over the mouth piece and looked at Buffy hesitantly.
Buffy looked at her friend expectantly. “Well who is it?”
Willow took a deep breath. “It’s Xander,” she paused for a minute and then continued. “He talked to Spike and they thought maybe tonight, since its are last night in town we could go to... a strip club,” Willow winced waiting for Buffy’s reaction.
Buffy stared at her friend completely dumbfounded. There was no way she could go to a place like that, or could she? Spike had told her once ‘don’t knock it till you try it’, so what the hell, you only live once. Letting a mischievous grin cross her face she answered Willow. “What the hell, why not.”
Now it was Willow’s turn to be dumbfounded. She gave her friend a wary look and asked, “Are you sure?” Buffy nodded her head. “Sure, it could be fun.” Willow shrugged her shoulders and placed the phone back to her ear. “Hey Xander, Buffy said she’s game,” Willow sat for a moment not saying anything then finally rolled her eyes. “Xander would you grow up, Buffy and I are not going to get on stage and strip,” she said exasperatedly. Giving a few “yeahs” and “okays” Willow said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Buffy suddenly realized what she had just agreed to and felt her stomach twist in knots. She was going to go to a strip club and with Spike no less. Hadn’t she told him what a pig he was for going to places like that? Giving Willow a weary look, she said, “Oh god Willow what have I done?”
Buffy and Willow pulled up to Giles’ house and Buffy got out of the car. Leaning in the passenger side window, Buffy nervously asked, “So what time did you say we were leaving again?” It was the fifth time in the last ten minutes or so that she had asked.
Willow laughed. “Buffy if you don’t want to go, all you have to do is say the word.”
“No really, I’m fine, I uh, just want to make sure what time so I can be ready to go, that’s all,” Buffy rambled unconvincingly.
“I promise Buffy it’ll be fun,” Willow reassured Buffy.
Buffy gave Willow a shocked look. “Willow Rosenberg, have you been to a strip club before?” Buffy asked completely shocked.
Willow gave her friend a sinister smile and simply said, “I’ll see you tonight,” and drove off.
Buffy watched as Willow drove away. She really shouldn’t have been too surprise after Willow’s little confession about having kissed a girl before. That girl was full of all sorts of surprises.
Spike had talked to Xander a little over an hour ago and was still shocked that Buffy had agreed to go out to a strip club tonight. He knew for a fact that Buffy thought those kinds of places were dirty, but yet she had agreed to go anyway. He had to admit the idea of Buffy willingly going tonight was a major turn on. He would have to make sure that she had the proper first time experience. Grinning at the mental image like a mad man, Buffy walked in the front door arms laden with bags.
After struggling with the front door, Buffy walked in to see Spike with a Cheshire cat grin on his face. He must have talked to Xander. Feeling the knots return to her stomach, she relieved her arms of their burden and hesitantly walked into the living room to sit next to Spike on the couch.
Spike never took his eyes off the TV and continued to grin as Buffy came to sit next to him. Buffy turned so she was facing him and arched a brow at him questioningly. “What are you grinning at?”
Never taking his eyes off the TV he asked, “So you’re finally gonna see what all the fuss is about huh?” There was a certain amount of amusement in his voice.
Buffy crossed her arms across her chest. “Aren’t you the one who said ‘don’t knock it till you try it?’” she asked indignantly.
Spike finally looked over at her with a suggestive look in his eyes. “That’s right kitten, I did, and believe me, I’m gonna make sure you try it all.”
Buffy’s eyes went wide. She wasn’t quite sure what he was suggesting, but she had a pretty good idea. “Hey, I agreed to go, that’s all,” she stated determinedly.
Spike chuckled. “We’ll see.”
Buffy shook her head adamantly. “Uh, uh Spike, don’t even think about it,” Buffy protested. Spike gave her an innocent look. “You didn’t even give me a chance to explain.”
Buffy arched a brow and replied dryly, “You don’t even have to say anything, I know exactly what your thinking and the answer is not no, but hell no.”
Spike grinned. “Well if you knew what I was thinking, then you were thinking it too.”
Buffy opened and closed her mouth trying to form a come back but came up with nothing. In a huff Buffy got up from the couch, stomped out of the room, grabbed her things and headed to her room.
Spike let out a chuckle as he called out to her, “Come now pet, you know you’re curious.”
Buffy continued up the stairs as she grumbled, “Shut the hell up Spike.”
