*sings her own version* I waaant a maaan hooo...

Author's Response: She's excited, and who could blame her? LOL, thanks for the review hon.

Ok you have to make it better now. The bitchy Buffy is back in spades and I don't like her being mean to my Spike.

Author's Response: Okay, okay, I surrender, I'll try to fix it, I promise, lol. Thanks for the review darling. Hugs.

Oh God, what you´ve done was great and I only can hope that both of them are happy again. But they have to be!!!
And he wants to tell her everything, but she is so caught up in the situation that she doesn´t understand what he is going to do. But she said him that she loves/d him. And this has to be a good thing.
And now I want to be read the next chapter and want to know what´s coming next but I have to wait until you find time to write again. But moving to another town is a hard thing and you have to settle first. And I really wanted to write you something what I had in mind for the other one but RL is a bad one right now. But maybe we find some time to talk about this, maybe even chat some time.
Have a nice evening and smooch.

Author's Response: Oh most definetely. They're both caught up in the moment and of course Buffy doesn't think here and chooses to run instead... silly girl. She'll regret it to be sure. Oh yes, I'm anxious to chat with you sweety, very much so. My IM is imbloodyenglish I use yahoo. Let's chat soon... smoochies.

God she is so unreasonable , she wanted to find a reason to not love him and Harmony gave her one , she won't reason this out because she's afraid to , she perfers to run. Love all your fics as usual.

Author's Response: Oh yeah, Buffy is very typical runaway gal here. Stupid girl, but she'll regret it in time to be sure. Thanks for the review hon, hugs you tight.

OUCH!!!! THEY BOTH SAID SOME PRETTY HARSH THINGS TO EACH OTHER IN THIS CHAP, BUT I TOTALLY GET IT. IT LOOKS LIKE THINGS CAN NEVER BE EASY FOR THESE TWO.

BUFFY HAS ALWAYS BEEN GAURDED IN HER FEELIN'S FOR SPIKE, AND NOW THAT SHE'S FINALLY READY TO VOICE THEM, THIS HAPPENS *SIGHS*

NOW ONTO SPIKE, LOL! WELL HE HAD THE BEST OF INTENTIONS HERE, BUT YET AGAIN, FATE HAD OTHER PLANS, LOL!!! I GET WHY HE WANTS TO KEEP THINGS SECRET FOR NOW, 'CAUSE HE WANTS TO BE 'LEGIT' SO TO SPEAK, WHEN HE FINALLY STARTS A REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH BUFFY. SPIKE IS A GOOD MAN AND WANTS TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND WALK AWAY FROM THE SEEDIER PART OF HIS LIFE, BUT HE DOES HAVE A PAST AND SOMETIMES IT CAN COME BACK TO BITE YA IN THE ASS ;)

KUDDOS BABES ON A TERRIFIC CHAPPIE, AND YOU SO DON'T HAVE TO THANK ME FOR HELPIN' YOU WITH THE KIDDIES. I LOVE'EM LIKE THEY WERE MY OWN SO IT'S NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL, I'M JUST GLAD I CAN BE HERE TO HELP ;)



OH, AND IN CASE I DIDN'T MENTION IT....WE'RE GOIN' TO MEET JAMES!!!! LMAO!

Author's Response: Squeeeeee, we get to meet James but more important... PARTY time, oh yeah. No kids, staying at a hotel, tons of money and opportunity to find some trouble.... I don't know whose a worse influence here, you or me, hee hee. Thanks my friend, you always see straight on the story plot. Smoochies.

oh, my goodness! You know your very evil for ending this chapter like this right?! So to make up for it your going to update soon, right? Please!

Author's Response: Giggles, I'll do my best, I promise. Thanks sweety.

OMG! What a great chapter! Very well written. I feel so sorry for Buffy, even though it's all a HUGE misunderstanding. Eagerly waiting for another update!

Author's Response: Thank you hon, the time for angst is afoot.

Brilliant chapter IBE! Wanted to slap Buffy around the chops though - silly bint. Echoing everyonelse's hopes that RL settles down for you and you return to more regular updates. TSR imo lives by Writers like you.

Author's Response: Hee hee, slap away, she'd being an idiot to be sure. Thank you so much for the lovely review and the compliment, it made me blush a very deep shade of red. Huggles.

that was worth the wait... lovely and angsty! hope we see some more soon!

Author's Response: Thanks sweety. Yup the time for angst is now. Shit hits the fan and apints the room brown in all its stink, lol.

As soon as I read that lie Spike told her about not taking a single job since meeting her, I knew there was going to be a problem. I understand he lied to just make it easier on explaining himself since he didn't go through with the job, but it was still a lie. I understand perfectly why Buffy responded the way she did. Spike was caught in a lie - how do you now know what is the truth and what is a lie? He is keeping a secret from her, he was just caught in a lie and then tells her he has never lied to her, he wants to explain why he lied to another woman, and his profession requires him to pretend to be enamored with women. Of course, Buffy is upset, confused, and not sure who Spike "really" is. Don't blame her one bit. Spike is the one that has to finally come clean and not at this emotional time. He needs to give her time and then come to her and lay all of his cards on the table and then explain to her why it was so important to keep her in the dark for so long. That's the only way Buffy can then make her decision of wanting to be with him or not.

Author's Response: Yup, he kinda left an open door there for disaster to strike didn't he? Buffy is having a helluva time and can't be blamed, for the most part, for her intial reaction. I think I'd behave the same way in the same situation. I'm sorry to say though that things will get worse before they get better, but its all part of a bigger plan. So bare with me over the next couple of chappies hon. Thanks so much for the review, you explained her position very well and I'm happy to see you understand both their perpsectives on the way everything went down.

oh poor....well everyone. i hope they can get things resolved soon. please more soon. i can't wait for the next chapter

Author's Response: I'll do my best to update soon. I know, I went and left it on a bad note... bad dmuse. Thanks for the review darling.

I have to say that that was quite possibly one of the best chapters I have ever read, I can't believe that there was so little physical contact and that it was so very evocative and then Buffy reverts to type and believes the tripe that comes out of Harmony's mouth. That was bloody brilliant and I can't wait for more. RL has only made your writing better - if that is possible.

Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much sweety. My muse was arguing with me, trying to make me write them having sex but i couldn't bring myself to have them 'actually' do it. So I compromised by having it happen in a virtual way. Yup, Harmony has poor timing and leave it to Buffy to believe her... stupid girl. Thanks so much for the awesome review, I'm truly blushing here.
