Poor thing with her almost kiss. Pretty sure she'd be happier if she just let their little fling develop. At least she seems to be adding a good bit to his depths. Love that he's trying so hard to know her. Great chapter.

Author's Response: Oh, she'd definietly be a lot happier giving in, but the cost of 'afterwards' wouldn't be worth it for her, not with how Spike is right now. He's got some growing up to do until he deserves it, *winks*, but it'll happen, I promise. And he does want to get to know her better - but of course, that's part of the reason how and why he redeems himself and changes his ways, *double wink*. Glad you enjoyed the update daer, thank you so very much for the fab reivew - kisses.

Dang it! Stupid thing lost my first review.

Ah, competition.....but since Buffy lives with Spike, Angelus stands very little chance. And of course, she saw the type of guy he was right away.

Snooping Spike again......but he got her to open up...some.

Have a feeling Buffy blames herself for Riley cheating because Riley couldn't get her off. Something stupid like that, because it's obvious she was made to feel all at fault.
Does she have friends besides Cordy? And outside of work? It seems that Buffy lives a very lonely, solitary life. As Spike pointed out, she has the time.....has she at least spent it with girl friends over the years? (Noticed they'd both been cat people.)

Uh-oh, and now Spike has changed their plans to one room........such a dick! When he's impulsive, he really sticks to serving #1 still....I know you're not going to deal with the real-life issues this whole thing would cause, but he should still *think* about Buffy's honor besides his own libido. He's already gotten to know her more as a person than any other woman.

Author's Response: Giggles, mena dn their hormones, always vying for territory - gotta love it. Yeah, the Riley thing - which will come out much later in the story - is a sad, sad thing and no fault of Buffy's at all - Riley's an ass imo - always has been. As for Buffy's social like??? No, she doesn't have much of one b/c of the long hours she works. SHe has Cordy and Willy and some friends she talks with from back home in CA every month, but she's a busy career gal - sad, I know. Hee hee, as for SPike changing their room arrangements, it actually turns out well despite his dirty little 'out for me' attitude, *winks*. You'll see next week, I promise. Thanks so much for this wonderful review, I simply adored it and am please you're enjoying ML so much. Smooches to you sweetheart.

Woman, you do NOT have to worry about review answering! In fact, don't! Have a fabulous time with your husband and neglect us until you have time again. :) Love how this fic is going! It's just hilarious and cute. I especially loved after the "let it rot" line when Buffy thought "And ewwww!" Cracked me up. Have a fun 8 days!

Author's Response: Awwww, thank you darling, really. He'll be here a week from tomorrow, but I do always try and take the time - like when he's in the shower to answer reviews. I'll get cuaght up after he leaves if I can't get to them all but yes, I will definitely enjoy my time with him thank you - and thanks for the fab review. Hugs you tight.

I so loved this chapter! The beginning scene with the introduction of Angelus (I already hate him btw, he's even worse than Spike could even dream of being), loved that Spike already knows Buffy enough to think she would never fall for Angel's ploys. And even though he knows that, he couldn't stop being jealous when he read of her appointment with Lorne. That was priceless. I adored the scene with the pics, how they could stop being antagonists and actually got along for a little while, until of course, Spike messed it all up again. I can't wait for the trip to Florida, I'm sure it'll be memorable. *weg* Fantastic update, darling. Love you tons! *besos*

Author's Response: Awwwww, thank you mi hermana, you know how much I love you and of course could never do without your help. Yup, Angelus is indeed worse than Spike could ever be, but jealousy still baounds - ahhhhh men. Hee hee. Giggles over the as waxing - my twisted sense of humor coming out. As for the FLorida trip - oh my, lots of fun to be had in the sun, *winks*. THank you for everything carino - luv u - smooches.
