*g* At last Spike isn't a grumpy patient. And Buffy is well prepared. *gg*
And enjoying the sight too.
*grins* Tipsy Buffy was fun. How goes the saying? Drunken ones and children tell the truth. Even it Spike didn't like it all (kid).
Spike got his own lesson (I don't know how good he'll remember it; how good it felt to simply be there with Buffy).
~ Enjoyed the update, some calm for the moment (eh before the storm, huh?)

Author's Response: Giggles - nothing like taking care of someone who isn't feeling well to bring about the other side pf poeple, huh? HAHAHAH - you're right about the saying, *winks*. ANd of course yes, it it the calm before the storm, giggles. Thanks for the review darling - smooches.

awww...spike and buffy are adorable together tehee :)
can't wait to see what happens next!!
p.s. love the title ;)

Author's Response: LOL - glad you liked the title and of course enjoyed the chappy - couldn't help changing the dynamics of their behavior towards each other for a bit. Thanks for the review hon, huggles.

Oh that is so good,

Author's Response: Hee hee, again, glad you enjoyed it. Smoochies.

Fantastic start!

Jet lag must have zapped most of his brain cells, too. He just kept digging himself in deeper.

Author's Response: Hee hee, that they did - no brain cells left after dealing with Buffy. Glad you enjoyed it hon - thanks so much for the review. Hugs.

Awesome chapter!! Loved the response to Buffy waking up next to him and Spike realizing that maybe he didn't just want to shag her. Theres sure to be more fireworks in the next chapter. Absolutely Brilliant!!

Author's Response: Yeah, you can imagine her horror after waking up and not remmebering a thing - I know I would freak out. As for more fireworks - yup, you can count on it, *winks*. Thanks for the great review darling - hugs.

brilliant as always. love the banners.
poor Buffy seems such an innocent. hope spike doesn't ruin her. more soon please

Author's Response: Giggles - yes, she definitely was innocent when she was tipsy - but it makes things interesting when they misinterpret one another. As for Spike ruining her? Nah, he'll get to her many times throughout the story, but she'll come back tougher every time. Thanks for the review hon - hugs.

"The last thought that ran through his semi-conscious mind before dozing off was that he’d never spent the night with a woman before, not even after having sex. But the sensation of spooning the woman in his arms, knowing it was Buffy... well, he couldn’t help but think it felt kind of… nice." -- And slowly, he grows a bit as a person. Would never imagine them sailing smoothly, but these baby steps are wonderful. Amazing chapter, looking forward to the next.


Author's Response: Ah yes, he is human after all, just tightly bundled under the big bad persona, hee hee. It's true it won't be smooth sailing, but that's just the way they make it to their spuffy ending. I'm so glad you enjoyed it sweety and thanks so much for the great review - smoochies.

‘wee-willy-winky’

LOL. SO FREAKIN' FUNNY!!! i almost fell out of my chair when reading that line. lol. awesome.

okay...does buffy realize that she pretty much did the exact same thing with him the night before when she put his head in her lap and ran her fingers through his hair. it had nothing to do with him being sick....okay maybe a little bit. then again, spike still is trying to get into her pants. he's an ass but i knew that. and i keep forgetting that he's younger than her. that explains a lot. lol.

great job. give the muse a big wet kiss for me. more soon.

Author's Response: Hee heee, wee willy winky - she's nooooooo idea. Well, she did let him sleep on her lap, but she had no (drunken) idea he would have them fall asleep together. A bit different, but the results paralleled each other didn't it? Smooches right back at ya babe and thanks for the awesome review.

I am thoroughly enjoying reading about Buffy and her extreme denial! I mean, come on, how can anyone deny being attract to that gorgeousness???

I can't wait to see where you take this and to see the two fo them grow closer and closer and closer...

Great story!

Author's Response: Heee, and she is in denial, but rightfully so given the circumstances of him being her boss and then roomate. But they'll both come around - in their own way, *winks*. Thank you so very much for the review sweety - huggles.

I've been behind on this story. shame on me. I should be punished....by spike....lol.that would be fun. lol. at first I feel sorry for spike and then i remember that he's only trying to get into buffy's pants at the moment and then he's an ass again. hopefully, not for long. great job. kisses for you and the muse.

Author's Response: No worries hon - I'm just glad you read and enjoy it. LOL - yes, SPike is quite the ass and his transformation will be slow - but of course that's the fun part of writing it all!!!! Thanks for the great review darling. Hugs and kisses.

Love, love, love the story. The build up is slow, tantalizing, and a sweet agony as only you can do. You have a way with our characters, especially to make a love/hate relationship. The sweet but quite feisty Buffy will tame the arrogant, womanizing Spike, and I can't wait to see how they slowly find their way to each other. As usual great job and many thanks
Hugs to you , Debbie

Author's Response: Oh yes, the build up is going to be slow - it wouldn't be realistic if it weren't - setting aside Murphys' Law and how it seems to plague their intertwined lives, lol. I think you'll enjoy the trip on their road to love, *winks*. THanks for the review hon - huggles.

Sweet! :) Buffy was a good nurse :) She really treated him nicely. The scene in the hot tub was so funny, Buffy and alcohol are very unmixy ;) Looking forward to read more, as always :) *hugs you tight*

Author's Response: Oh yes, she went above and beyond to make sure he got better - quite the contrast from her previous behavior, but then again, that's what guilt can do, hee hee. I'm so thrilled you enjoyed their weekend together my friend - hugs you tight back and thanks for the review.
