okay....first of all, who did riley think he was in this chapter??? i mean, he really pissed me off while i read this. how could buffy conclude that the reason why spike couldn't pretend with her was because he thought she was a bad lay??? insecure much! poor buffy! oh, and spike lying about why he was at the restaurant? not good at all!!!! bad spike!!!!! lol. loved it though. something tells me that this is going to get bad before it gets better. however, i am completely okay with that. i know that these two are going to stop being so stubborn soon enough and give into what their hearts really desire. please post soon. great job.

Author's Response: LOL, RIley doesn't think, that's his problem. I made sure that all the tiny 'clues' in the story depicted a possible ASS of a boyfriend - which of course she had to dump. Well, a lot of girls unfortunetely, Buffy included, would ASSume the worst of themselves first. Buffy just happens to be dumb enough to cling to the idea. Spike/William didn't necessarily lie about why he was at the restaurant, he just didn't tell the whole truth. He did have his dinner after all. I wanted to be sure that William remains an upstanding man, despite whatever Spike moments may possess him. Things will get better from here, but there still will be more angst - just not in the next couple chapters, promise. Thanks so much for the review sweety, I love hearing from you, your such a wonderful author whose opinion I value highly, *hugs*.

Wowwee... misunderstanding all around. I'll be looking forward to your promised feel-good chapters. *grin* This story is fantastic. :)

Author's Response: Teehee, yup, had to make things worse before they could get better, and oh baby, what I got planned is sooooooo not what people will expect, BUT, they will enjoy immensely. Thanks for the review hon, I'm always thrilled to see you coming back and enjoying it.

Just realized I hadn't reviewed the last few chapters-- my bad. This story is absolutely great. I loved this scene with Riley, and growly possessive Spike stepping in to make sure his damsel was not harmed. I can't wait until Buffy figures out how William really feels about her-- that may change her tune really quickly. ;) You did a great job of ratcheting up the tension on this chapter. Post soon, please!

Author's Response: Oh, that's okay hon, I'm just glad your still here and enjoying it. Ya know me, I couldn't resist making things all screwed up first before going in to fix it, lol. Glad you liked it too. I love me a possessive Spike for sure, I would have loved to have him punch Riley out, but seeing as that was his place of employment, and William is a thinker, I thought it best not to. Hope you like next chappy once it's ready. Thanks for the awesome review sweety.

Holy cow, so not what I expected, but loved it just the same. God Riley can be such an ass. Buffy is such a moron too, can't she see Spike cares for her? Ahhhh, update soon please.

Author's Response: Yes, Riley is an ass for sure. As for Buffy, she always had a knack for ASSuming the worst, lol. Thanks for the review hon.

Author's Response: Good, I'm glad your enjoying all aspects of the plot, especially the angst, which is pretty mild in my book. Making up will be the best part. Thanks for leaving a review hon, I'm always happy to see a new reader come aboard.

Utterly fab! So glad to see a post, though sorry to hear you were feeling poorly! .

Personally I think you did an awesome job of their confrontation. The decision to have Spike leave instead of hashing it out was smart. Buffy's emotions running so high after the ugly scene with Riley coupled with the shock of seeing Spike there would have had any discussion of their relationship come out sideways. I love how he left her with that one word to consider after she had calmed down. Great instinct with that one!

Feeling the Oz love. I am a sucker for Oz.

Ya know, despite you stating this is a somewhat quasi-angsty chapter, it is still so much fun. Dishing out the good stuff without some build up would have left this a bit too fluffy and god...this has been a winner right from the starting gate. Frankly, if you hadn't said this was your first fic, I would have assumed you have been writing under another for so long. You have tapped both Spike and Buffy's insecurities so well, and though it's AU, I can still see the canon personality traits that we know so well.

Okay, so the size of Spike's "assets" were never actually mentioned in canon, but damn girl...we all KNOW that you got it right. *snerk*

Thanks for the update. Can't wait for more - natch.

Cheers!
Nina

P.S. I have actually started integrating the phrase "my inner slut" into daily conversation. I think it is catching on.....*grins*

Author's Response: What an awesome review, thank you so much. I'm better now from the flu - thank god, that was a bad one that went around. Glad you liked the confrontation, and no, no fluff in this one, that will come later - well in the form of romance anyhow. Yeah, the whole situation really threw Buffy for a loop, turning into bitch of the year, lol. Poor William/Spike, he just knew there wasn't any getting thru to her, so what else could he say except that she was wrong. Yu[, I'm a sucker for Oz myself. Nope, I swear on the bible this is my first fic. I only hope my writing is getting better every few chapters, I can't wait to delve into writing another story. I did rely a lot on the canon personalities, it was helpful, so I'm glad you enjoy that aspect. LOL, oh girl, you know Spike is packing - even if it's not 9", it's got to be a biggie. Heehee, using the 'inner-slut' phrase, too funny. Thanks again for the stellar review sweets.

Whoa! When Buffy jumps to the wrong conclusion she sure jumps wholeheartedly, her interaction with Spike in the car was so sad. I'm really enjoying Buffy's conversations with her inner slut. Loved the scene in the restaurant, Riley dumpage is always fun. Oz was a pleasant addition to the chapter. I liked how he seemed to be playing matchmaker for William and Buffy, makes me wonder if a blind date could be in the offing. Wonderful update!
~ Congratulations on your new nominations!

Author's Response: Doesn't she though? Yeah, Riley dumpage is always fun. Ya never know, there may be a blind date in the works, we'll see. Thanks for the lovely review, and for the congrats on the noms, I'm so thrilled someone liked it enough to nom me.

people are insecure idiots. i feel so sorry for buffy believing that she is not good enough and spike for believing the same thing. also, they need to think before they speak. hopefully buffy can convince spike that she did not really mean what she said even though it is out there and cannot be un-remembered.

Author's Response: LOL, well you know our couple, a tad stubborn and hot-headed. I think you will definetely enjoy the manner in which they make-up. And no it (initially anyway) be with sex. I can hardly wait to see what you think of it, when I get it posted. Thanks for the review hon.

WOW, what a great chapter ... and a super long one too !!! Thank you for that. And you cranked it out while doing battle with the flu ! You are one tough cookie.

I have to admit, I could not figure out how out how you were going to address the Buffy - Lorne, Lorne - Spike, Buffy - Spike aftermath of the last encounter/fiasco. And of course you made it all look like a walk in the park . Great job!!Not to mention the dumpage of Riley all at the same time.

I adore OZ (ever see the movie "Without A Paddle"? See it !!!) And I love him in your story. Cool that he and Willow were trying to set up William and Buffy all along (one of your readers had that one pegged ... not me) Great addition to the plot though.

I think that this angsty chapter was awesome (that coming from a self proclaimed "angst wimp") It was real /believable... not contrived. What you created here is really going to cause the make up to be even sweeter.
Funny how William thinks Buffy is so together and he is inadequate. And at the same time Buffy is a bit of a self doubting mess after all. Perfectly orchestrated and executed.

Talk to ya soon. Hugs, kimmie

Author's Response: Hi hon, glad to see you enjoyed the chappy. Yes, it was a bit of a challenge to bring myself out of the whole I dug - thank karbear57 for that, she really helped a tremendous amount. Oh yeah, loved Without A Paddle, I'm such a sucker for Oz. Willow wants to see her friend happy, and of course whatever makes Willow happy Oz will help her with - that and he genuinely likes William. Glad you enjoyed the angst, I did try to tone it down, it could have been worse, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Thanks so much for the awesome review sweety, it always makes my week to hear from you. Talk to you soon.

Congratulions on the nominations :) And this might be your first story but you definitely are off to an unbelieveable start--you're probably goign to end up with more reviews than any other story on the site :D

and sorry my review isn't all that god, I've got a really bad migraine today and I'm not thinking too well...mae I'll remember to email you or something (but b/c of the headache I might also forget I ever said this ;))

Author's Response: Well thankyou, I'm not sure about getting more reviews than other stories, sooooooooo many talented authors here, but it's definetely awesome people have really taken notice of my baby here, makes me feel good.

AWESOME!!! You should have let Spike just one punch; after Buffy left of course. Love Oz's place in this story, he is so sweet. Riley is just a jerk, enough said.

Looking forward to next chapter, then. Buffy is stubborn and hopefully she heard some of what Will said. I am glad that he got to see her break up with Riley or that would have been double-angst.

Author's Response: She's stubborn alright, but she'll get a wake up call soon, promise. Yeah, couldn't resist William seeing her dump the jerk, had to make his evening somehow - aside from the fact she bit his head off later. Thanks for the review hon.

Still thrilled. Expected Spike was Oz's friend, but not the big blow up at the restaurant, nor how Buffy would interpret Spike's abrupt departure. But looking forward to things getting back on the Spuffy track.

Author's Response: Glad you liked it hon. Yeah, I know the whole Spike and Oz being friends thing would be no surprise, but I couldn't resist. It may come in handy. We'll back on board with the spuffy luvin soon though, promise. Thanks for the wonderful review.
