sigh, I had this chapter all planned out perfectly and now that I’m sitting down to write it, it’s just not working. If this chapter seems forced well that’s cause it was. So sorry. I promise the next will be much better!
**********************************************************
Buffy had been extremely surprised to find Spike waiting for her outside of the school, “Oh, hey Spike.”
Spike took one final drag of his cigarette before stomping it out, “’Ello luv. You ready?”
Buffy nodded and smiled slightly, “Those things’ll kill you.”
“So will a lot of other things,” he pointed out with a smirk.
Buffy rolled her eyes, “True enough. Mall time.”
He looked less than ecstatic for sure. Oh this was going to be so much fun for her, “You know what? I’ll make you a deal. If you play nice with me while I pick out my outfit for Friday, then we’ll do anything you want after that.”
Anything? Spike mentally shook his head. She didn’t mean THAT. Bloody hell, talk about wishful thinking, “Okay, sounds good pet.”
Buffy stopped and turned to him as they were getting into his car, “I have a name you know and it’s not luv, or pet. Give Buffy a try.”
Spike sighed silently. Okay, this was already all going to hell, “Anything you want lu…Buffy.”
Buffy laughed lightly at his almost-slipup and smiled at him. This was going to be an interesting day to say the least.
**********************************************************
The second they stepped into the mall entrance, Buffy went into shopping mode. She was a girl on a mission. She had to find the seamless outfit. It had to be planned to perfection from her earrings to her shoes.
“Where to first luv?”
Buffy didn’t even bother to scowl at him for going back to the pet name use. The Buffy thing at least lasted the car ride over, “Nordstrom.”
Spike bit back a groan of protest, “Then Nordstrom it is.”
“And then Bebe, then 21 Forever and…” Buffy started to list off the names of places they had to go. Spike just looked at her in horror, not really listening. He was going to bloody well murder Lindy for ever suggesting this friends thing. This was going to be pure torture.
**********************************************************
“Just try on the bleedin thing and let’s get out of here!” Spike bit out as he waited for Buffy to come out of the dressing room in H&M. She’d been in there forever and he was getting annoyed as hell.
“I’m coming out right now!” Buffy snapped, “Chill out.” The dressing room door swung open to reveal Buffy standing there in a red silk, long sleeve wrap mini-dress that clung perfectly to everyone of her new found curves, “Is it to much?”
Spike opened his mouth to try to say something but chocked on his words. She was beautiful. She wasn’t fake like all the other chit’s he’d dated at all. Bloody hell, where was this coming from?
“Hello? Earth to Spike?” Buffy waved her hand in front of his face for dramatic affect, “Is it to much?”
“Not at all luv,” he finally snapped out of it, “You look stunning.”
Buffy rolled her eyes but couldn’t help but laugh, “Well thank you kind sir. Not everyday a girl gets called stunning.”
Not everyday a guy sees a girl that looks as stunning as you, he thought. Oh bloody hell! He was turning into a poof. Being tamed by a girl that he was sure didn’t even want him. Well fuck. Spike forced his infamous smirk across his face, “Call it like I see it pet.”
“Then you need to get your eyes checked,” Buffy muttered as she slipped back into the dressing room to take of the dress.
Buffy didn’t get what was going on. He was being so nice, complimenting her every chance he got, even carrying her bags when she didn’t ask him to. This was starting to get really confusing.
A few minutes later she reemerged from the dressing room with the dress in her hands. She quickly paid for it, only thirty bucks by the way, gotta love H&M and they were off to their next destination.
“So what next?” Spike asked, praying to god it was almost over. Sure, he’d enjoyed the Buffy part but he’d rather shoot his own bloody brains out then do the shopping.
Buffy smiled brightly at him, “Well I need to get shoes, makeup and jewelry covered but then we need to move onto casual, jeans and a top, just in case…hey, Spike? Wait, why are you walking away from me? Come back!”
**********************************************************
Buffy applied a kittenish pink colored lip gloss with a Q-tip and smacked her lips together before turning to Spike, “Kissable or not kissable?”
Spike just stared at her pouty lips and blinked. Bloody hell! Buffy Summers somehow managed to drain all of his smoothness and cockiness right out of him. He couldn’t do anything other than nod mutely like an idiot.
**********************************************************
“Ooh! Ooh!” Buffy lit up, stopping in front of Fredrick’s Of Hollywood with bright eyes, “Underwear sale!” She then grabbed Spike’s hand and pulled him in the tackily, but totally awesomely decorated store.
Buffy held up a tiny white thong with a rainbow on the ass. The image of her wearing that thong with nothing else popped into Spike’s head instantly. He was sure he was in hell now.
**********************************************************
“Ice cream?” Buffy asked as they started towards the food court.
Spike mentally sighed in relief. Ice cream he could handle, “Sure thing luv. My treat. You’ve already spent a bloody obscene amount of money today already.”
Buffy smiled as they sat down at a table, “It’s part of my job description. The least daddy dearest can do anyways.” She paused before standing again, “Be back in a sec. Have to use the bathroom.”
Spike nodded, “Kay, what’s your pleasure luv?”
Buffy blinked at him a few times before he elaborated, “What kind of ice cream do you want?”
Buffy giggled, embarrassed, “I’m a chick Spike. Chocolate is always the way to go.”
He smirked, “Chocolate it is then. And anytime you ever need any other kinda of pleasure…”
“Don’t even finish that statement pig,” Buffy rolled her eyes but smiled none the less. With that she headed off to the bathroom. As she was passing Taco Bell, a familiar voice called out her name. A large smile crossed her lips as she turned to see Ryan sitting at a table with Dan Simons, Cory Olsen and Mark Bedford.
“Hey Ryan, boys,” she said, her smile still in place. The all nodded in acknowledgment.
“Shopping?” Ryan asked with a smile.
“Why else would I be here?” she laughed, “Eat, breath, sleep, shop. My life.”
Ryan laughed and then asked, “You need a ride home?”
Buffy hesitated for a second, “Uh, yeah, sure. Let me just go grab my bags okay? It was nice seeing you guys too.”
“Okay,” Ryan nodded, “I’ll wait.”
With that, Buffy started back to Spike. For some reason she felt kinda bad she was going to ditch him but oh well. He was a big boy and besides, it’s not like they were on a date. Sure, her suspicions about him wanting to be her friend had died down over the course of the afternoon but it’s not like they were bestest friends. She’d never leave Willow or Xander for a guy. Okay, so she would but that wasn’t the point.
“That was quick luv,” he smirked as she reached the table. He was waiting there with ice cream too and she felt even worse, “And here I thought most chits spent forever in the bathroom.”
Buffy couldn’t help but smile, “We do. I uh, met up with Ryan. I’m gonna head out with him okay?”
Hurt flickered in Spike’s eye briefly before he stomped it down and forced a smile, “Okay pet. Not a problem. Have a good time with your skater boy.” He hadn’t meant to, but he couldn’t help but spit out the last part like it was poison.
This didn’t go unnoticed by Buffy. What the hell was that about, “Okay, great. I’ll see you later!” With that, she made a hasty exit, still wondering why what that had been all about. Those thoughts disappeared as she met up with Ryan. They smiled at each other before linking arms and heading out to the parking lot.
