Wonderful chapter. Really enjoyed the pace. I remember all those song very fondly having dated at that period of time. Brought back many fond memories. They needed this kind of time to be just natural. Hope he really gets the hint how Buffy really feels about him.Look forward to next update and the rest of the date.
Author's Response: Oh that's so wonderful hon... my parents were married during the fifties and of course coming from a family where everyone plays piano, my father would sit at his theatre organ or the piano and play every night - these kind of songs. I would lay on the couch in the room and fall asleep listening to him... When i first came up with this chapter, my muse jumped up and down frantically - he knew there was nothing more perfect than this kind of evening and these kinds of songs to help our couple move closer together. I'm so happy you enjoyed it, and I think there's great hope for him believing he now stands a chance with Buffy, and she him. Thanks for the wonderful review sweety.

I listened to every song as you changed it. it really helped get into the mood. :) I enjoyed it and though i usually like the rock-y-er music from that era, it really fit. Good chapter! UPDATE SOON
Author's Response: Wonderful, I'm glad you did click and listen as you read... I really thought it would make the experience of our couple more 'potent' if you will, as you read. I love the rock and roll tunes from the era as well, but alas I couldn't put them here without breaking the mood theme. I'm soooo glad you liked it hon and thanks for the awesome review.

Spuffy can't ever be too sweet for me, so I loved this chappie! I liked them getting to have some time together outside the bedroom.
Author's Response: Oh yes, my muse insisted they get out of the bedroom... and start moving into eachother's heart. I'm glad it wasn't to sweet for you, my muse is giggling right now in the background. Thank you for the fantastic review hon.

Great chapter.
My grandmother was my babysitter, so I was raised on these songs. The family used to go to a similar thing to this when I was a kid, though it was Big Band music, instead.
That was a perfect "first date".
Author's Response: Wow really??? That is so awesome. oh yes, I like big band music as well. I hope you enjoy the next chapter just as much hon, they'll be riding high on the wave of emotions they've shared thus far. Thanks for the truly wonderful review sweety.

i adored this chap. everyone needs a little romance.
i also loved how you included the links for the songs.
it brought the chap to life and i could envision the whole scene. good job. cant wait for more.
Author's Response: Yay, I love it when readers like you say they can see the scene in their mind. My muse tried very hard to accomplish that, so it pleases me to no end to have you say that. I'm very happy you enjoyed the chapter sweety, and thank you so much for the lovely review.

wow! once again, another great chapter. Thanks for even providing the music. It really sets the mood of your story. I'm sure everyone who has read your story would agree that you are such an amazing and talented writer! Keep it up! I would always be looking forward to the stories that you'll be making. :-)
Author's Response: Oh, no problem at all sweety, the muse was on a mission to incorporate it, darn guy wouldn't let me rest till I did it. I'm so glad it helped you to enjoy the chapter that much more. Omg, i am so blushing right now from your compliment. I promise not to let it go to the muse's head though, I'm on a quest to get better with time so I can hopefully tackle creating a fic that recquires a more complex and intricate plot... someday anyway. For now I am thrilled you'll read whatever the muse comes up with next... you know him, he can be so very naughty sometimes, but he always seeks to entertain. Thanks so much for the lovely review, I'm floating 3 feet off the ground right now, *hugs*.

What a wonderful and romantic chapter, just what these two characters needed most.
Author's Response: Tee hee, I'm tickled you liked it, and yes a romantic night was a much needed thing for them... thanks for the great review hon.

Date: 10/14/2006 - 08:29 pm Title: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
This was a sweet, romantic thing. A perfect date, and definitely what they deserve.
Can't wait for the next chapter. Just loving it.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it. Yup, they really did need this in order to move forward, and closer together. Thank you so much for the review sweety.

Date: 10/14/2006 - 08:14 pm Title: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Don't apologize. If you ask me, there's not enough love and romance in the world so keep it coming. Love the story.
Author's Response: How true that is, there really isn't enough love in the world. So glad you enjoyed and yes, one more sappy chappy (well, almost anyway) coming up - not a single bad thing will happen to spoil their evening, promise. Thanks for the awesome review hon.

Ahhhhh... 50's music! LOVE it! I'm 34 and listen to Buddy Holly more than the radio! Everly Brothers are one of my favorites! My AOL radio stays tuned to the 50's channel (Be Bop A Lula is currently playing). Glad I'm not alone! Wonderful story. Keep it up!
Author's Response: Oh man, the Everly Brothers rock. My sister and I had a couple albums we would play on a record player (omg, there was actual vinyl back then) and even at age 8 I would sing my heart out to every song. Ah yes Be Bop A Lula... she's my baby.... so luv it. I'm glad this chapter struck a personal chord for you (hey wow, I just made a pun - I'm so corny sometimes, lol) and had enjoy the chapter that much more. Thanks for the wonderful review - seems we're kindred spirits.

Love it - the mushiness was well timed!
Author's Response: Tee hee, good, glad you liked it sweety, thanks so much for reviewing, it really makes a world of difference for the muse.

Glad you don't do fluff, too much fluff would be very boring indeed.
This story has just the right amount of twists and turns to keep the story very interesting and keep me coming back for more.
Good job! Love it!
Author's Response: Wonderful, that's awesome, and I will try my very best to keep you coming back for more. Thanks for the wonderful review sweety - it made my day, really.

Oh good, Lorne got to Spike in time!
What a way to leave it off, and oh boy, fun, fun, fun to look forward to in the next chapter! I'm on the edge of my seat in anticipation. :-)
Author's Response: Tee hee, I can't wait to see your response to the next one, thanks for the review hon.

Date: 10/14/2006 - 04:44 pm Title: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Oh no, not too fluffy at all, it was delightful on the contrary. And the music reminded me of my Mum who loves Johnny Mathis and the Platters (so do I). It's nice to see the characters interact on a different level. A perfect romantic evening...
Author's Response: Oh that's wonderful... Johnny Mathis has such a wonderful voice and The Platters, sighhhhhhs, I adore them. I'm so glad you enjoyed their romantic evening together, and thanks for the truly lovely review.

Date: 10/14/2006 - 04:31 pm Title: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Just to be clear incase it can bere read wrong (reread my review and well...) Not to fuzzy (hence the only almost OD) Perfectly romantic.. Oh, to write in a not-native-tongue... Hmm, tongue.. tongue of Spike... Oh yeah, of to the land of happy again.. lol.. (And omg do I hope I spelled tongue right.. Lol)
Author's Response: LMAO, tongue of Spike... I understood what you meant hon, no worries, I always love when you review chapters, gives me the warm fuzzies myself and always a giggle, thanks.

Alright, she decided to call!
They need to get together, everyone can see they were meant for each other. :-)
Good story!
Author's Response: Tee hee, yes they are perfect for one another, of course getting there will be the battle. Glad you enjoyed it so far hon, please stick around for the rest of the story - it'll be a spuffy ending after a few more bumps in the road. Thanks for the great review.

Date: 10/14/2006 - 04:18 pm Title: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Oh wow, thank you so much for that experience. Only cleared a couple of lines a time and listened to the music.. Perfect settings.
Almost OD'ed on the fuzzy feeling but that's all good, 'cause I'm still here.. lol
Absolutely loved this update and can't wait for more..
btw: my thanks to Kitty... Yum yum and off to the land of anything possible....... Ok, I'm back.. lol
Am gonna be looking out for your other story too... In happyland right now.. :-)
Author's Response: Thanks sweety, glad you enjoyed the music along with the setting and dialogue. Yeah, it was a bit mushy, but they needed it. I'll be sure to thank kitty for ya, she did a wonderful job on the pic. With any luck, it shouldn't be long before I post 'LOL's' sequel, Lessins in Love'. Thanks for the totally awesome review hon.

Date: 10/14/2006 - 04:10 pm Title: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
loved, loved, loved it more soon please.
Author's Response: I'll get right to work hon, thanks for the great review.

Loved this chapter.
Great story!
Author's Response: Thanks sweety, glad you enjoyed it.

Date: 10/14/2006 - 03:21 pm Title: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Actually, Jolynn's is Lesson of Love, so maybe not an issue.
Author's Response: Oh, LOL, I didn't see this review afterwards, ok, sorry there. Thanks again hon, your such a doll.

Date: 10/14/2006 - 03:18 pm Title: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
I thought it was very sweet and hopefully showed William that she wants more from him than just what Spike has to offer. Also, so happy to hear about the sequel to Language of Love, but wanted to make you aware (if you are not) that another fic with the sequel's title is currently being posted by Jolynn. It might be kind of confusing.
Author's Response: Good, glad you liked it, and yes, she's trying to feel him out for the real man inside, William, and she'll realize more and more how much she wants him. Oh, about the title conflict, Jolynns story is Lessons of Love, mine is Lessons in Love. Yup, I was aware sweety, I mean Jolynns work is so fab, I'm always looking for any of her updates. Thanks for letting me know though, I wouldn't want to make that kind of mistake either. Thanks so much sweety for the great review.

Date: 10/14/2006 - 03:00 pm Title: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
wonderful chapter. not too fluffy at all. she shared something that was very important and sentimental to her. that took courage to take him there. i also love 50's and 60's music. i was raised on that music. well i was a child in the sixty's. can't wait for the rest of the night.
Author's Response: Good, glad to know its more romantic than mush. Yeah, she really wanted to 'see' William and thought it would be the perfect place to take him... somewhere where he couldn't be flirty and dangerous 'Spike'. ONG, I really do love that music, particularly The Platters and The Everly Brothers. So glad you liked it and I think you'll enjoy 19 as well. Thanks for the awesome review sweety.

Date: 10/14/2006 - 02:58 pm Title: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Great chapter. You painted a very nice and romantic picture. Not too sappy at all.
Author's Response: Thank God, cuz I can't do fluff, I mean, if it gets too mushy even my muse starts to gag. Glad I could strike the right balance and that you enjoyed it. Thanks for the great review hon.

Date: 10/14/2006 - 02:29 pm Title: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
I was so looking forward to this chapter. It was just....wow. Thanks so much for a little romance for our couple. It made my day. It'll definitely help me get through the 'more angst to come'. You described the entire setting so beautifully it felt like I was there. I love the way you write. Can't wait for more updates. You do good Spuffy. Thanks.
Author's Response: Squee, so glad I could make your day. I owed to our couple and the readers alike to have a little romantic connection going on. Yes, there will be more angst ahead, but hey, it'll be a sweet ending too. I'm so glad you enjoy my writing, hopefully I'm getting better with time. Thanks for the wonderfully sweet review.
