Author's Chapter Notes:
Really sorry I haven't updated in ages, its been a mental few months, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
As the night drew on they became more and more entranced with each other, Spike was brimming with questions to ask her, but as she continued to gaze at him with that seductive grin and grind against him in that oh so delicious way, every question he could imagine disappeared. Instead lust clouded his mind; she was pressing every one of his buttons and he loved it.

With a smirk he slowly backed her towards a darken corner of the Bronze determined in his goal to bed this vixen, who had teased him so mercilessly since the moment they met. She was a mystery and he wanted to find out more about what she had said earlier that night, it continued to float around his head both confusing and arousing him ‘what did she mean the real him?’. As he opened his mouth to speak, he found his words stifled by Buffy’s lips passionately entwining with his, her tongue playfully teasing at his bottom lip, begging for entrance. Allowing her entrance, she deepened the kiss further, her tongue caressing his in a sweet dance for dominance in that moment their kiss was full of burning passion, lust and promises of so much more. It seemed as if she was attempting to search every part of him, inside he was rejoicing, for so many painful years he had not felt so much for another woman, and yet in merely less than a week this girl had inspired so much more.

As they parted for breath she looked up at him with hopeful eyes.

“Do you want to do this?”

Eyes burning bright he replied, “More than you could ever know”

In that instant they knew that they had found the one.

With one last kiss of want and longing Buffy entwined his hand with hers and led him into what would seem to be a promising future together. As they left a dark figure appeared out of the shadows his brown eyes burning with jealousy, that night he swore to cause misery to this bleached wonder that would dare take his girl.

Over the next year Buffy and Spike’s relationship flourished from a sweet fling into a deep romance. The carefully constructed barriers that each of them had placed around their hearts, slowly came down, but every now and then their own fears would raise their ugly heads, leading to meaningless fights that would then lead to great make up sex.

In that year Buffy remained working at the diner while Spike continued on with the band in search of that elusive deal. Things between them became tense at times, as the pressure of the band mounted, but instead of letting it tear them apart, it made them closer. Using it as ammunition to carry on and become more determined, until one spring day when that determination finally paid off.

“Buffy we’ve gone and bloody made it!”

Racing down the stairs to meet him Buffy shouted in delight, “You mean the band?”

Smiling from ear to ear he replied “Dead on luv, we got the deal!”

“Wow that’s fantastic news” answered Buffy as she leapt of the last step and into his waiting arms.

He laughed and kissed her, then spun her around and then finally placed her on her feet he added “It gets better Kitten, were off on a 6 months tour!”

As he bent down to hug her tightly, Buffy buried her head in his shoulder worry clouding her thoughts as she automatically answered, “Well done, you deserve it”

Willow continued to coax Buffy into confirming her suspicions, she had a man to see and revenge to plot “Buffy. Sweetie, come on tell me what happened”.

Slowly Buffy sniffed and turned her head back but didn’t dare look into her friend’s eyes, “He came to me and said that William had slept with a groupie on tour”. Willow’s eye’s burned with confusion and anger.

“Buffy, who told you this?”

“I know I’m not much to look at, who can blame him for not wanting to wait for me for so long”

Frustrated Willow touched her face making Buffy meet her gaze, slowly she repeated, “Who told you this?”

“Angel, but that’s not the point, why would William cheat on me”

“Buffy, you listen to me, Spike would never and I repeat never cheat on you!”

“How can you be so sure?”

“Believe me I can”, pausing for a moment she knew what she had to do. “Buffy, I’ve got to go, but believe me when I say Spike has not or will not ever cheat on you, he loves you too much”

With that Willow gave her friend one last hug and headed for the door, desperately in search of Oz. A figure watched with interest as the red head left the house and walked off into the distance.

As soon as Oz had uttered that most hated name, Spike saw red. They might be a band mates, but it was a well known fact that besides making fantastic music together, Angel and Spike had a mutual hatred for each other. Spike thought to himself that he should have known that Angel was behind this, the giant brooding sod. He couldn’t figure out what Angel had done, but he was determined to find out. Downing the last of his drink, he kicked back the stool and turned, his duster flaring out behind him and strode into the night, a man on a mission, but first he had a girl to see.

Soon after Willow’s departure Buffy had again curled up on the couch, Willow’s and Angel’s words kept swirling around in her mind. Both voices coaxing her into believing their side of the story, in her heart she knew she should believe Willow, but her head was screaming at her that Angel had seemed so genuine. Yes Spike hated him, but he had remained polite and civil towards her over the years. However deep inside she knew that if she allowed this to eat away at her, it would destroy the thing she held most dear.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a sharp knock at the door. Wondering if it was Willow returning she wiped her tears and rose to answer it. However on the other side it was the person she least expected to see that night.
