Uh oh, I'm worried about Buffy's plan, especially since she's not telling Spike about it. A misunderstanding could crush the trust between them. Good chapter, looking forward to more!

Author's Response: Maybe you should worry... Hmm, did I say that? *lol* So glad you liked, thanks!

Oh.Oh. Such a fantastic twist. Loved Buffy locking him out on the balcony, lovedlovedloved her nursing him back to health. I'm guessing some very very interesting times are ahead for the new roommates. Excellent chapter!

Author's Response: Hee hee, she got herself a bit of revenge there - even if SPike did get kinda sick. But she'll take care of him of course and there's plenty of interesting time ahead, I promise, *winks*. THanks for the review sweetheart - and I hope you update your story again soon. Huggles.

Love it love it love it. Drunk Buffy was so entertaining, Dirty Spike is always sexy, and their chemistry is just hot.

My absolute favorite part:
"She may be older than him, but he was no boy. The size of his ‘manhood’ alone was proof enough of that. Matter of fact, he’d love to have her suck his ‘proof’. That would shut her up in more ways than the obvious. "

I spit out Diet Coke I was laughing so hard. Excellent update! Can not WAIT for more. Hugs!

Author's Response: YAY - glad you enjoyed all the elements of the character and their display over the weekend. LMAO - over youreaction to his 'manhood' - hey, he's a guy in every sense of the word - of course he's going to think that, giggles. SOrry about your soda spitting darling, heeeeee heeee. GLad you enjoyed the fun in this chapter and thanks for the great review - smoochies to you sweets.

Oh, Spike. You have really done yourself in now. Cute little stunt but Buffy will NOT be pleased. Restaurant scene was hilarious (love the usage of the Parker/Buffy dialogue), love their evolving comfort with each other, love Spike's inability to keep a lid on his libido. Can't wait for more, and any day of the week you post, I'll be reading as soon as I can!

Author's Response: Hee hee, he has, hasn't he. Glad you enjoyed the flambe scene - who could resist such a disaster in a comedy - me me me, lol. Thanks for letting me know it doesn't matter which day I post and of course for the awesome review sweetheart - hugs you tight.

Oh, he just keeps right on surprising her, both for the good and for the bad. Love the chapter, love that this time it's HIM taking care of HER and despite his bad-rude-man-ness he didn't really expect anything in return. Lots of laughs and sweetness, excellent update! Can't wait for more.

Author's Response: Yup - that's SPike, surprises of all natures up his sleeve. And he really is a good soul, just in desperate need of some life's lessons, which he'll get, *winks*. Glad you liked the update sweetheart - thanks for reviewing. Huggles.

Aw. He's really proving himself to be such a good person and the right man for her, and I'm glad she's starting to realize that. Loved his breakdown, I can imagine how hard it would be for someone as young as he is to confront death for the first time. Excellent writing, just absolutely love it! *hugs*

Finally! So glad Buffy got over whatever stick was up her butt, and she'd realized how immaturely she was behaving. Communication is key, girl, stop running away! So sad when Spike was giving up, but yay for working it out. Can't wait for them to talk in depth, and looking forward to the groveling and the nakedness!

Author's Response: Hehehhe, pretty big stick it was, too. She'll be communicating her arse off over the next week as well as wiping his ass for him. Okay, that sounded gross, what I meant is she'll be ALL with the TLC. Much talking and shagging in next chapter darling, *winks*. Thanks fr the fab review - smoochies.

And this chapter was just incredible! It's definitely a struggle to write virgin Buffy but I think you did the most amazing job. I loved the sweetness, and how their emotions were so clear. Wonderful chapter, sweetie!

Oh, the Lord isn't going to help you now honey. :) Loved the chapter, glad Spike and his ego finally matured a bit and understood what Buffy was trying to tell him about the possible ramifications of the hot sex, but I'm glad he'd rather be friends with her than nothing at all. Platonic friendship...I give it two chapters. Maybe. Can't wait for more!

Oh, they're both so sad. Poor William and his low self esteem and inability to read the signs! And poor Buffy, I have totally had that moment of, "Oh, no one wants to be my partner, just offer to work alone". Devastating for a teenage girl. Granted, this is only two chapters thus far but after reading "Meeting William" also, but I can already see you're going to be writing a really honest, interesting high school fic, with great layers. Can't wait to read more!

Personally, I love the idea of vampire Buffy, but I haven't read very many fics that have handled it well. Since I love everything you write, I am currently wiggling in my chair, excited beyond belief about the turn this story has taken. Can. Not. Wait. Loved the chapter, and how you've characterized VampBuffy so far. So grateful you've had such a burst of creativity, because I cannot wait for an update!
