Chapter 14


Buffy watched as Spike started the song.

One day you shiver
One day you burn

One day you’re helpless

Next day you learn



One day you practice

One day you’re playing

One day you’re lying

Next day you’re praying



Hear what I’m saying

Some days you’re shadow

Some days you shine

Some days you’re theirs

Some days you’re mine

Some days you’re shadows

Some days you shine



Willow looked over at Buffy and saw her smiling. She leaned over towards Anya.

“See? I told you it’d work.”

Buffy listened to Spike with a smile on her face. She couldn’t believe he was singing for her.

‘Maybe I was wrong about him.’ she thought.



One day you’re incensed

One day perfumed

On day you’re buried

Next day exude



One day you’re armored

One day you’re naked

One day you feel it

Next day you fake it

Life’s what you make it



Spike looked at Buffy from the stage. He saw her watching him, smiling, and he grinned.

‘I think she likes it. I knew it’d work.’, he thought, and continued singing.



Some days you’re shadow

Some days you shine

Some days you see it

Some days you’re blind

Some days you’re shadow

Some days you shine



Some days you prosper

Some days you pine

Some days you’re famished

Some days you dine



Some days you’re theirs

Some days you’re mine

Mine for all time

Some days you’re shadow

Some days you shine

Shine like you’re mine

Mine for all time

Mine for all time



The song ended and the audience started clapping and yelling. The guys put their instruments down and walked off the stage.

“See? It worked.” Oz told him.

“And to think you were nervous.” Xander teased.

“I was not!” Spike said, trying to recover his dignity.

“Were too!” Xander argued.

“Was”- Spike started, but was interrupted by Oz.

“Shouldn’t you go talk to her?”

“Uh, yeah. I guess I should.”

Spike walked over to Buffy’s table. Buffy looked at him, not knowing what to say.

“So, luv, want to dance?” Spike asked just as a slow song started.

“Sure.”

Spike led Buffy out onto the dance floor and put his arms around her.

“So, Spike, I really liked your song.”

“You did? I knew you would.” he said.

“Humph.”

“Ok, I didn’t know if you’d like it. I was really nervous about it, actually.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. And if you tell anyone, I’ll get you.” he told her, chuckling.

Buffy giggled.

“Scared you’re Big Bad image will get destroyed?” she teased.

He didn’t answer, just watched her.

“What?” she asked.

“You look beautiful tonight.” he told her.

Buffy blushed and smiled.

“Did you really mean what you said in your song?” she asked nervously.

“Yeah. I like you.” he answered.

“Well, I like you too.”

The song ended and Spike let go of Buffy.

“Do you want me to walk you home?” he asked her.

“Sure. I’ll go get my things.”

Buffy walked over to the table. Willow was grinning at her and bouncing in her seat.

“So, what’d he say? What’d you say?”

“Calm down, Will.” she said, nonchalant.

She saw Willow bounce up and down again and giggled.

“He told me he liked Me.”, she said giddily.

Willow squealed.

“What did you tell him?”

“I told him I liked him too.

Willow squealed again.

“He’s going to walk me home. So, I’ll talk to you tomorrow.” Buffy told her.

“Ok. Call me then.”

Buffy went and told the others goodbye, and she left with Spike.
