Cha... Cha.... Changes... you know the song by David Bowie comes to mind.. not that all of the lyrics are appropriate.. A little insight into the pysche of our pair.. and love the change.. Waiting for Valentine's Day.. and I know the girl says she cannot be bought.. but the candy and DVD's have proven her wrong.. LOL

And I hope Spike can quell his hormones and let Buffy make the first "big" move.. She is almost at the point of being a tease IMHO although she wouldn't think so.. And Spike needs the patience of Job to wait for her to do so..

Enjoyed as usual..

Author's Response: Hahahahhahah - you so went there with that song, lmfao. Yeah, I think Buffy will have to rethink her 'can;t buy me' attitude after Valentine's day. Spike is a genius after all, *winks*. As for Spike waiting for Buffy to make the first move, hmmmmmm, guess you'll find out this weekend, *winks*. Yeah, she sorta of is being a tease, but it's not like she's rubbing his cock thru his jeans and running away, plus he's loving it, giggles. Thanks for the review hon - hugs you tight.

Tender Spike is so good. Delighted that Buffy has decided to end her relationship with Angel. Now let's hope nothing changes her mind. She is a stubbon one when she gets upset over something. Still would like to hear why Buffy guards her heart so firmly? Any chance we might have a visit from an ex who hurt her?

Author's Response: Yup, seems beauty has brought out the tender side in Spike's beast, or rather tamed it, hee hee. Yeah, time to give Angel the boot - the bloke just doesn't do it for her, too bad, so sad, lol. Wel, as for her ex, we won't see an appearence but you will get the back story on it, it'll come in a surprising form, that's all I can say. THere's a few more chappies to go before its revealed. I'm so glad you liked the update hon and thank you so very much for the wonderful review - smooches.

*LOL* Somehow your endnotes always act like a cliffie. Now I'm all antsy for the Valentine chapter! But but but... I know, let's not get ahead of myself.

This chapter is so tender, so sweet... and the syrupy goodness that is Spike. And Buffy is dumping Angel! All the better! YAY! I'm really rooting for Buffy too - since she's worried about not knowing if Spike just wants to bed her. Great, great one... I thoroughly enjoyed it. And thank you, IBE, for bringing this one extra early. :) Cheers!

Author's Response: Giggles, they do don't they? I should start with.... tune in next week when.... LOL. Glad you didn't mind the fluff - I figured after everything they've been thru, a little sticky sweet time was in order for them - and of course BUH-BYE to Angel, hee hee. In truth, Buffy does have a reason to be wary of Spike, I mean after what he put her through since first knowing her, but of course that's where time will tell. You're welcome for the chapter my dear and I thiank you for the review - smooches to you.
