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.
