The alcohol fueled heat building between Spike and Buffy is very entertaining, and I'm enjoying her opening. Her upbringing sounds oppressive, and the idea of her marriage to Angel being nearly arranged is intriguing. Buffy won't be able to wriggle free from her family and Angel easily.

I'm loving this brassy, opne Faith. This made me laugh: “I’m classy, what can I say! Now drink up, B, and then I want to hear your story.” Yeah, she's loaded with class!




Author's Response: You're dead on, Buffy's family and lifestyle aren't going to be that easy to wrangle free from. I'm happy the chemistry between the pair is sizzling for you, and so glad you like my Faith! She's a classy broad for sure. :) Thanks for reviewing!

Love this story and these are good questions, giving an excellent insight into Spike and Buffy's history. I am really looking forward to your next update - can't wait. Fab chapter.

Author's Response: Thanks, Sam! They're definitely bringing out the good questions, no boring, "Do you have any pets?" At least, not yet, who knows if they'll run out of topics. :) So glad you're loving it!

Oooh this is just plain old ENJOYABLE!!

Spike and Buffy are really opening up which gives me a real jolly! It gives such an excellent background on both our heroes. Good questions too.

And Spikes appartment is only a few meters away you say? *hopeful smirk*

Hope you update soon!

Have a good flight!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review and the well wishes! So glad you're finding the story so enjoyable. Yes, yes, Spike's bedroom is just a short walk away. *wink* I have no ulterior motives for that decision. None. At. All. Update as soon as I can, thanks so much for all your support Heidi!

I love watching the way Spike is trying to get to the core of Buffy. And trying at the same time to make her see that she is stronger than she knows.

Author's Response: So true. He's definitely seeing something within her she can't see herself, and his gentle nudging is going to do far more for her than her family ever did.

Now that my houseguests are gone, I'm catching up on reading and reviewing. I loved these last two chapters. I mean, really, Spike didn't have to spend that much time with her at all, and yet two strangers managed to find something they like about eachother in the process. And yay - love an automatic possessive Spike. More soon please sweety. Hugs you tight.

Author's Response: Glad to have you back, hope you had fun with your houseguests! Spike is definitely going far above and beyond any sort of call of duty, and the connection between the two will definitely keep getting stronger. Possessive Spike is Hot Spike, at least to me. :) So glad youre enjoying, IBE, more ASAP! Hugs!

I love the way Spike and Buffy are slowly getting to know each other with the questions. I can't wait for more of this story, I'm so hooked! :)

Author's Response: 20 Questions is definitely a great way to get to know someone, without all those awkward pauses like on a first date. So happy I've hooked you, Pet, thanks so much for the feedback!

Still loving it! Buffy is settling in very nicely with her new friends... I was surprised at first that it was Faith and not Anya with Xander, though. Nice to see Faith and Xander, they definitely could work, especially without all that "she tried to kill him and is evil" baggage. :)

Author's Response: Yay, glad you're still loving! Buffy is definitely fitting in seamlessly with this crowd, despite their vastly different life experiences. Yeah, once you get rid of Faith's, well, psychosis, she's a pretty fun chick, yeah? Thanks so much for reviewing!

I really can't get over how much I am enjoying this story! Spike and Buffy certainly do seem to be getting close, and things can only get more interesting with alcohol involved!

YAY! Please update soon!

Author's Response: I'm so happy you're enjoying it so much! Alcohol is definitely, what's the phrase, a social lubricant? They'll start to relax even more around each other and that's allllways fun. :) Updating as soon as I can, thanks for the review!

I do love this story though I want more 20 questions.

Author's Response: Definitely more 20 questions over the course of the night, they have lots to learn about each other. Glad you love it, thanks for the review Nicka!

I do want to hear the story but I'm afraid of where this is heading (the morning after) and the angst if it's not good......

Author's Response: There's a bit of a bumpy road ahead, but don't worry, the angst isn't too much to deal with, or at least I hope not. They at least have a few more hours of fun togethr before the sun comes up, don't worry about it till then. :) Thanks for the review!

Whenever I see that you've updated, it brings a smile to my face :D . I loved this chapter, and I love the pace of the story. I can't wait for the next installment.

Author's Response: Oh, I'm so glad I can make you smile! Good to hear the pace is working for you, I was afraid it might be too slow for some people. Next installment as soon as I possibly can. Thanks so much for your feedback, Mark!

First I thought she might get too drunk, do the wild thing, and then blame Spike for it. Now I'm thinking Spike's gonna have one sick Buffy on his hands.

Author's Response: She'll be okay on both fronts, just has to slow down a bit on the drinking and maybe get some food in her. Sick Buffy would NOT be fun, as we all know!

I don't know how many questions each have, but I can't wait to hear more. I smell big trouble now that we know Hank works for Angel's dad. Don't suppose Buffy leaving his son at the alter is going to go over to well with the old man. I look forward to more of this story when you get a chance to settle in. Good luck on your adventure.

Author's Response: They both still have plenty of questions to go, the night is far from over! Definitely trouble brewing with the business connection between Buffy and Angel's families, not good for her. Hopefully internet is easy to come by once I get moved in, can't wait to hear what you think of what's to come! Thanks for the well wishes and the review!

This is something that Buffy really needed. I really do hope that she can let loose to see what is really out there. She mad ea decision to leave the wedding, now she has a chance to really look at things. Playing 20 questions is going to be great for her. And really what is Spike going to do once the night is over?

Author's Response: Good points, all. Buffy definitely needs a night of no responsibilities and no regrets, but when the night's over it's definitely up in the air as to what will happen. Well, not to me, but to the characters. :) Thanks for reviewing, letitia!

OMG! You and your nasty cliffhangers! How am I supposed to sleep now? Ughh... This chapter was awesome - love the little bit of touchy-feely they've got goin' on as the night and game progresses. I also am a huge fan of the whole Spike-watching-Buffy-dance part of any story...very, very nice. On pins and needles about the tale Buffy's about to tell...it can't come soon enough. ATB, Melissa (an internet cafe, halfway around the world - you do know how to make a girl jealous! - have fun!)

Author's Response: Definitely don't mean to deprive you of sleep, sleep is precious! What can I say, I like to leave you wanting more, make sure you all come back to read. :) They're definitely heating up with the touchy feely and the sexy Spike watching. Buffy just has to explain the whole "I was in a wedding dress" thing then they can get on with their evening. Hopefully. Thanks for reviewing, melissa, always love to hear what you think!

OH I see Spike is going to be protective of her, by the looks of it, do I see them going away together.

Seems like she was pushed to Angel, wonder what the family will say.

Author's Response: Definitely getting protective, our Spike is. Quite the chivalrous man. As for going away, you'll just have to wait and see! Poor Buffy was definitely pushed towards Angel, and no one is happy with the days events. So excited to hear what you think of what's to come, thanks for the review!

i've gotta agree with the 'stupid, blind and stupid' assessment. poor spike!
ugh! beginning to see how much pressure buffy was under, and how difficult it's still going to be to deal with her family. fortunately, spike will be there to help. :) and faith to kick asses.
thanks for this!


Author's Response: Definitely a ton of problems for Buffy ahead, but yes indeed she does have Spike to lean on, for now. And Faith as her bodyguard, she's set to go! So glad you're enjoying still, thanks for the review!
