The fight scene was fantastic, I loved Spike and Buffy's dialogue during it. As for Buffy's behavior... I can't really blame her, I tend to go with the silent treatment myself when I'm mad. Can't wait to find out who Spike and Buffy meet. Wonderful chapter!

Author's Response: YAY, I'm glad you enjoyed the fight scene. Giggles, Buffy's dialogue was fun to write and of course she left herself open for a few remarks as well. LOL - I go for the silent treatment myself as well - tends to get the point acorss quite well. Glad you liked the chappy hon and thanks for the great review. Hugs and kisses.

Another bang-up couple of chaps (well, not to Buffy, but Spike got bangin in so that counts for something). I love how upset Buffy got because it was Harmony. I actually kinda like Harmony (in the series at least, cause she really didn't KNOW she was a slutty, brainless twit - she thought was was cute and sweet and everybody loved her - poor thing, she was so confuse - I though she was a kick in Angel, trying so hard to be good, but too dumb to realize what an odd little twit she was). Sorry, I got off track (I think I'm getting famous for that??!!).

I think Spike is starting to grow up a bit in this. I don't think his time with Harmony had quite the affect he thought it would, not on him and not on Buffy. And poor Buffy, so confused herself and only Willy realizes it (Spike is beginning to, but he's still a bit stunned that she doesn't want him in her bed - if only he could read minds!).

I'm really looking forward to the sparks you promise in upcoming chaps - I'm sure these two are gonna continue to rub each other the wrong way, but oh what fun when they finally rub each other the right way!

A stunning job as always my dear. Thank you for continuing to share your awesome talent!.

So hubby back to work? Hope you enjoyed your time together and had some wonderful romance and family time. I'm visiting my sweet grandson this weekend and while he was kinda stand-offish at first and didn't really remember me - he warmed up quickly and wanted to go with gramma when I left. I'm holed up in a hotel tonight so had some time to read a bit. I'll see him for about an hour again tomorrow and then it's a five hour drive home. Sorry again - I'm rambling.

Hugs and squeezes to you my friend.

Author's Response: LOL, you are too funny firl, nope, no banging except for Harmony, ick!!! sHE WAS RATHER A FUNNY CHARACTER, ESPECIALLY ON aNGEL, SHE MADE FOR LIKE THE COMIC SIDE KICK - A CLUELESS ONE AT THAT. , oops, stupid caps button, damnit. Anyway, Spike is just now starting to grow up but it's in the early stages - poor boy has a ways to go. Sleeping with Harmony backfired on him in more ways than one and you're right - only Willy is able to see things for what they are. I kinda like writing him as the good guy, it's fun. And yup - more sparks to come, you can always count on that, *winks*. Hubby is back at work - poo - but it has to be. I'm so glad you got to see your precious grandbaby, its a shame you have to drive that far, but I know its worth it. Hugs you tight my darling and thanks for the awesome review.

yay good chapter!

Author's Response: Giggles, thanks so much sweetheart - hugs.

I love how she showed her jealousy, certainly gave him something to think about. I was so happy to read your update, (actually read the last 2) always picks me up. I have had my dad in the hospital for the past 2 weeks, not going to well, so I REALLY appreciate the escape, I needed it.
I am sure you and your hubby and family had a wonderful time together, I am happy for you. I am sure you cherished every minute.
Love the story, puts me in their world and I can feel their fire........so hugs to you and a big thanks
Debbie

Author's Response: Oh yes, she left him with something to think about alright - how he processes it is another ball of wax, lol. I'm sorry to hear about your dad sweety. I can empathize with you as my own father is not doing so well these days and has an upcoming major surgery. I'm glad I could at least provide you with a fun pick me up escape from that. My prayers are with you sweety and thank you so much for the review - hugs you tight then hugs you tight some more.

OH that was good, I can't wait to see how they make up.

Author's Response: Hee hee, thanks boo - and yes, they'll make up... right before things blow up again. Hugs and kisses darling.

She doesn't want him? Uhuh, right...and I'm really just a hobbit masquerading as a chick. Sure. As for Spike, he's just a downright rude, egotistical bastard and dad-darned it...I like it. Gives me chills when he gets a gruff voiced and whispers naughty lil tidbits in her ear. (Wish it were me he was so hot and bothered for. **sigh**)

Loved the chapter! Looking forward to their makeup and the upcoming angst! I love drama and very rarely get the right dose of it from most writers. Which is something I NEVER have to worry about with you, dear. You feed my angst addiction very nicely!!!

Author's Response: HAHAHAHHHA, that hobbit comment was frickin hysterical, rofl. As for Spike, yeah, there's something about a bad rude man that although its soooooo wrong, it feels sooooo right. WOW, I'm absoutely honored by your compliment darling - that touch of angst.... it's always necessary, I just hope you enjoy it when it comes sweety - thank you sooooooooooooo very much for this review. Hugs you tight.

Love it that Buffy and Spike .. are doing the martial arts rough and tumble... and of course he would "get off" on that..

Hasn't quite learned yet that the things that work so easily with the Harmonys don't necessarily work with Buffy.. He knows she is interested... but she's not going to "fall" for him until he stops and tries to know Buffy the person..

Can't wait to see who will be visiting next week...

Enjoyed as usual..

Author's Response: LOL - oh yes, he gets off on a spot of violence when coupled with a half naked Buffy. He's pretty much a dumb bunny when it comes to Buffy when compared to other women, but he'll learn, albeit slowly, but he will. Hope you enjoy the next chapter as much as this one darling and thanks so much for the review. Smoochies.

Pleased that it was her turn to be surprised, he gave her a curt nod. “Jujitsu.”
“Oooo,” she drawled, tasting the victory that would soon be hers. “This is so on.”

I loved this bit! Go for rolling around on the floor "wrestling." And whoa, Buffy has the silent treatment down to an art form. And heehee, she locked him out again. Glad they sort of made up, though. Great chapter!

Author's Response: HAHHAHAH, glad you liked that part - I was thinking it be funny if they were on even ground for this - makes it more interesting. Yup, that silent treatment always gets to men, funny how that works, huh? Thanks for the fab review hon and again, congrats on your well deserved awards you've won. Hugs you tight my friend.

Would be fun seeing Spikes reaction if Buffy sleeps with another man in their home :).
Buf what was funny too was the fight scene :)... and what can I say... typical Spike. Hes horny as hell when he has Buffy under him.
Looking forward your next update and I'm curious which people they will meet!

Author's Response: Wouldn't it though??? Hee hee, he'll get something much worse than that, trust me, *winks*. Not saying Buffy is going to be bad, but she does something to really piss him off unknowingly, hee hee. I'm so happy you like the chapter hon and next update will of course come next weekend - thanks for the review, smoochies to you.

Ah.. Buffy got her opportunity to get some steam off, fighting Spike. ~ But she still doesn't see why she is reacting so strong to Spike sleeping with another woman.
At last they have some rules now.
Have a great weekend yourself!

Author's Response: Giggles, she sure did, of course it did little good until they sat down and talked. And yes, she's clueless, queen of denial, lol. GLad you enjoyed the chapter sweets - thanks for the review.

All the ways I want to know what happens next. Glad Willy figured out what Buffy's secret is. Course she's got it bad. Is there any other way. Can't wait til she figures it out. Looking forward to more!

Author's Response: Hahhah, and I think you'll enjoy the next chapter, or at least I hope so. Yup - they both got it bad, now if only they can get it together. Thanks for the great review hon - smoochies.

I have been so bad about reviewing lately - RL is just totally kicking my ass these days. But I wanted to jump in and let you know I'm really enjoying the sparks flying all over the place!

Can't wait to see how the confrontation will go after Buffy's discovery of the dreaded Harm in her kitchen. I know you'll make it a humdinger!

Author's Response: Oh don't worry about it hon - I'm just glad to see you here and still enjoying it. RL sometimes is a pain in the butt, I know. I do hope you enjoy the little confrontation they'll have on Sat. morning, it will be full of fireworks, *winks*. THanks for the great review my friend, hugs you tight.

Hey ya, great chap as usual. I really hope Buffy gets to have some bedroom fun with someone else just as Spike has. Its a pet peeve of mine that Spike always sleeps around but Buffy idosent get any fun. Make Spke jealous for me, go on, you know you want to.

Author's Response: HAHhahahahha, I'm glad you put your trust in me. Spike will get his, it just comes in the form of something he doesn't expect, *wink wink*. As for Buffy bedroom fun, wellllllll, not exactly in her character makeup for this fic, but she will make Spike jealous and it won't actually be with the intention - which will drive him even more nuts, giggles. Glad you like the update deary, thanks for the fab review. Kisses.
