Darn you and your well placed cliff hangers. So was going to go to bed after chapter five... and there is just NO WAY I can leave it there when chapter six is just sitting waiting for me. Really do love it.

Author's Response: HAHAHAHAH, i'm evil, what can I say? I do hope you enjoy ch 6, *winks*, explosions are going to happen. Thanks for the review boo - kisses.

Good that she didn't read Angel's letter :)

Author's Response: Yup, he's beneath her - cheating bastard, lol. Thanks for the review hon. Hugs.

I can't believe I missed this update... I haven't checked the updates on TSR for 48 hours and I almost missed this new chapter!! I LOVED LOVED LOOOOOVED it!! I could start a list of all the things I love in your fic but it would be too long, I love the plot, I love your writing, I love the way you make Buffy and Spike play and talk, I love your unique style. Seriously, I don't think you realize how many people love your work. You receive a lot of reviews but that's only a little part of your readers. I can't wait for more!!!!!! please update TE soon too ;)

Author's Response: Giggles, I'm so glad you liked it. I'm blushing all the way down to my toes over your sweet compliments. Honestly, I prefer to remain humble and keep my nose to the grind-stone, try to get better as a writer. I'll never be a Stephen King, but I do hope to keep people entertained. I'm still in shock and awe over the reviews, it is a lot and people have been absolutely wonderful about taking time out of their hectic day to not only read, but leave me a thought or two. I appreciate it more than words could possibly express. I do hope to update TE and LFL as well soon, but the muse has been particularly fickle lately. Not only that but I have some things going on right now in RL that are demanding more and more of personal time unfortunetely. I won't abandon the stories, I just have to pace myself I suppose. Thank you form the bottom of my heart for such a lovely review. I'm at your service to entertain and I do hope you enjoy the next chapter - as more than just sparks fly, *winks*.

*g* Didn't take Buffy long to notice that Spike let her in peace... and she doesn't like it.
And Lindsey opened his mouth too wide when it came to Buffy. He didn't see this fist coming *grin*. Possessive much; and he didn't even notice? But Buffy did. Lol.. and some daydreaming too.
Go Buffy :) After how Angel treated her good way to 'answer' the letter.
And perfect cliffhanger indeed :-D
Looking forward to Buffy giving Spike a piece of her mind :)

Author's Response: Giggles, nope, she doesn't appreciate it at all. I'm glad you enjoyed the much needed pounding of Lindsey - such a creep... and it brought out Spike's jealousy and protectivness, squeeee, I luv me some growly possessive Spike. He was very pleased she tore up that letter cuz he knows Angel doesn't deserve her. I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the chapter sweety and that you didn't mind the cliffie. Thanks so much for the review, smooches to you.

She;'s JUST going to give him a piece of her mind?
(pouts)

Seriously, when will you be posting again? And, don't say NEXT week because eek...I can't wait that long!


Author's Response: Oh yeah, she's going to give him a piece of her mind alright. My promise to you... I WILL post this weekend - no later than Sunday. Up until this exact moment in time, I haven't been able to confirm with my beta's whether it's suitable of not to post, and as such, it is at present at this time. Now I'm set with the task of polishing it up a bit and then posting. I am sooooooooooooooo very thrilled you enjoyed the chapter sweety, and I do hope you like the next... you simply MUST let me know. Smooches to you darling.

Oh Girl!!!! I tell you what, this was freakin' AWSOME!!!!! You can practically feel the sparks flyin' between these two. I don't think there is any way for you to out do yourself, but I KNOW the next xhapter is goin' to be HOT!!!!! Kuddos as always for the amazin' work and thank you ever so for lettin' me be apart of this ;)

Author's Response: Giggles, oh yeah - major sparks flying next chapter - gauranteed. Thank so much for all your awesome help - couldn't do it without ya babe, smoochies.

I can't wait...I can't wait.....I can't wait!!! But I'm gonna :(

Author's Response: LOL, well thank you sweety. If all goes well, I should be posting over the weekend. Smooches to you.

Can't wait for what is coming next! Hurry, hurry, please!

Author's Response: Thanks hon - I hope to update over the weekend. Hugs.

ERRRRR U HAD TO END IT THERE, NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love this story so much and am soooo happy u updated. omg i cant believe that he said she was his, how cute. also im so glad that shes starting to realize that she wants him as well. i really hope that they talk things through and that they get together. also i hoep that everything works out and that they end up happy and together. please update as soon as u can, im DYING to read more and see wat happens next. thanx

Author's Response: I know, I am sorry sweety. But at least this way I can make next chapter as long as I want to - and I do hope next chappy makes up for my leaving this chapter like this. LOL, well, let me put it this way... as far as them becoming a couple, they realize theyr're attracted to each other, but as far as talking it out... not gonna happen. At least not right now with the way their relationship (if you can call it one) has been over the last 9 weeks. It's going to be a bit of a road before the fluffy spuffy type stuff happens - until then, it's a love/hate relationship. Hopefully, if all goes as planned - I'll be updating this weekend sweety. Thanks for the review and don't worry about a thing, it's all spuffy in the end, it's the ride to get their I'm developing. Smoochies to you.

i can't believe he said her name out loud after thrashing lindsey!! LOLL. and the bit about the letter...absolute genius. i rarely find a fic where i like spike and buffy equally...this one takes the cake! tehee...can't wait for more!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response: Oh wow, thank you so much hon. I'm uber glad you enjoy both characters... and here I tried to make everyone hate Spike in the beginning. I hope you enjoy next chappy as well - should be posting this weekend if all goes as planned. Hugs and kisses to you.

Ah, so that nap has to wait......hee he heee

Author's Response: Giggles, indeed. i do hope you enjoy the argument up ahead - you know how explosive our couple can get. Thanks for the review hon, smooches.

At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to like this storey. As much as I appreciate the men and women who put their lives on the line for our country... the thought of joining the military completely freaks me out. But I love your writing, and it totally won me over. :) I love this storey, and I can't wait for you to update! More? Please?*

Author's Response: Awww, I'm very pleased that you gave it a chance then. I realize it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but aside from the Army life - there's a spuffy tale to tell, and for that I'm glad you chose to read. The military isn't for every one, but for those who can, I salute and am proud of my own service. Thank you so much hon, for the lovely review, I'm glad I could win you over. I do hope you enjoy the next chappy - it will be a hellavu ride, *winks*, promise. Hugs and kisses. I should be updating this weekend if all goes well.

lmao. I cannot tell you how much I loved this chapter. The only complaint I have is the cliffhanger ending. ;) Update soon!

Author's Response: I'm glad it brought a smile to your lips hon... I am sorry for the cliffie, but it just had to be. I promise an update soon. Thanks so much for the lovely reivew, smoochies.
