"Spike, make the ringing stop" Buffy said covering her head with the pillow as he reached over her and grabbed the phone.

"'lo, Xander, what's up?" he said speaking half- asleep into the phone "12:30, got it I'll be there, sure mate, I'll bring pizzas, okay bye mate" he then hung up and laid back down as he covered himself,

"what's at 12:30?" Buffy mumbled

"practice" he said as they faced each other,

"thankyou, for last night",

"it's okay", "Spike" she said as he looked at her

"you weren't a rebound, and it wasn't like you were just there, so I had to.I wanted to, because it was you, it had nothing to do with Angel" she said as her hand softly caressed his face, he then reached forward and kissed her slowly as she moved closer.

"William, get up, breakfast is ready!" Giles said as they pulled apart,

"be down In a bit dad" he said and went to kiss her again,

"Tell Buffy to join us too, since she is up there" he once again screamed out as Buffy laughed,

"Yes dad...get here" he said and kissed he slowly,

"Spike, look, we can't get together right now"Buffy said pulling away slowly

"oh" he said looking away,

"it's not that I don't want to, I do really, I do" she said, "but", "I just broke it off with Angel yesterday, or he broke it off",

"I understand.we can still kiss though, right?" he asked her

"yes" she said and kissed him,

"William Giles, get your bloody arse down here and eat your breakfast!",

"that is why I hate him"Spike said lying back on his bed and getting fustrated

"how are things going?" she asked,

"we still argue, once a week over pointless things, even if we have nothing to argue bout we still argue",

"let him in, in your life",

"not ready pet",

"it's been four years William",

"god, you first named me" he said looking at her with a shocked face,

"Don't change the subject...he is the only family you got",

"not really, your mum is like a second mum to me and I have Dawn as my little sis, then there is you",

"I meant family as in blood related, the whole genetic thing" she said "plus if I'm like a sister what we are doing...very wrong"

"Nothing with you could be wrong, so far from were I am sitting this looks pretty good" he said and kissed her

"Spike"

"Ye" he asked her

"Keep it quiet for awhile?"

"Okay, bu there were people who saw us last night. not to mention our friends"

"I meant from our parents, Giles doesn't know what we did in this room last night, cos you know I always sleep over...if our parents find out"

"we'll keep it quiet" he assured her

***********

"Glad you could both join me" Giles said as they both sat down. "Buffy, your mother called she was unaware of you spending the night, she said you usually let her know",

"I know, it was too late by the time I decided to stay I guess" Buffy said as Spike smirked at her and continued to eat,

"how did your band 'poodle ate my baby' do last night son?" Giles asked,

"Dingoes",

"excuse me",

"the name is 'Dingoes ate my baby'" Spike said and continued to eat as Buffy broke the silence,

"well, I can tell you that they did great last night, I am a very satisfied fan" Buffy said as Spike winked at her,

"I might come to your next performance then" Giles said as Spike coughed,

"dad, this place is for a younger crowd.plus you wouldn't like the music",

"how do you know that",

"trust me I know" he said.

"fairenough, did you 2 get any sleep last night, I mean the neighbours were making this racket"

"racket?" Buffy questioned

"I slept like a baby...the satisfied kind" Spike said as Buffy felt a hand on her leg

"you must of been dreaming last night Giles, cos for one I heard no racket" Buffy said and took Spike's hand off of her

"well you both mustn't of been home when it started" Giles said "well I am off to go do some grocerie shopping, behave William"

"Spike" he interuppted as Giles left

"do you mind?" Buffy said

"habit" he replied

"funny" she said sarcastically as they heard the front door slammed

***********

"So, my place tonight, movie night with the gang, mum is out so we are on Dawn duty.OH MY GOD",

"what?"

"I am her slave," she said as he laughed,

"Why's that?" "She said yesterday that by the end of the night we will kiss or something, and if she was right I had to be her slave for a whole day or was it week, god I have to clean her room" Buffy said as Spike looked at her with an amused look "what?"

"you betted on me" he said singing it out as she blushed "so, I take it that I am always the topic of conversation in the Summers home?"

"I know" she said "so, will you be there tonight",

"yeah.if you want I can tell the boys not to mention the kiss, while you'll tell the girls not to and then you can win your side of the bet, I mean like she wouldn't think anything happened you usually sleep over anyway",

"true" she said "but I think it'd be best to let her win, otherwise it will come out one day" Buffy said "just so you know, you are always the topic of conversation in my house, she mentioned you after Angel left",

"what'd she say?" he asked crossing his arms across his chest,

"that you love me, and that you'll never hurt me or something" she said her cheeks turning a shade of red,

"I like how the Bit thinks" he said with a little smile on his face,

"love yourself much?" she said,

"too much actually" he said and reached forward to kiss her lightly on her forehead "see you tonight luv" he then walked in the house and closed the door.

*****

"I come baring Junk Food" Xander said walking in the lounge and holding the bag up in the air proudly,

"oh god, you have got to be kidding me" Cordelia mumbled

"hey Xander" Dawn said shyly,

"hey Dawnie, how's life treating you kid?" he asked her,

"good, but I'm not a kid" she said and sat on the couch next to Willow as they shared a bowl of cheeto's,

"hey Xander, where's Spike?" Buffy asked walking in the lounge and sitting in the lounge next to Dawn,

"uh, he was going to be a bit late, something came up, he said he'll still come",

"what happened?"

"Not sure, he didn't say anything really, he was in his own world when I was speaking to him on the phone that's for sure" Xander said laying out the junk food on the small table as OZ snatched the mm's before Cordelia could go near them,

"Hey!" she said "that is so not fair",

"Sweetie you have just got to be much more faster next time" Xander said patting her on the head and sitting on the single couch as she hit him.

"Okay guys, calm down, we have a child in here so the rules are, no fighting, no tongues, and no spoiling the movies if you have watched it, remember some people haven't seen it yet " Buffy said while putting the video in the player and sitting down as the doorbell rang, "pause it Dawnie, I'll be a sec" Buffy said and walked to the door as she opened it,

"miss anything?" Spike asked,

"No, just in time" she said as everyone reached over to look at the door,

"that's good" he said and kissed her,

"looks like the tongue rule has been broken already" Dawn said loudly as Buffy moved away "

go make yourself comfy, does anybody need anymore drinks, before we watch the movie?"

"Yep, I do" Xander and Dawn said as Buffy walked in kitchen.

"Hey lil' Bit" Spike said as he sat next to her as Willow moved on the floor next to OZ, and Cordelia moving in between Xander's legs.

"Hey Spike," she said "can I just give you a big hug for making Buffy happy" she then hugged him,

"happy, ey?"

"Yep it's great you are finally together" she said "and ofcourse to have a slave"

"not official in that area,"he said as Buffy came in and sat on the otherside of Dawn,

"okay movie time" she said and grabbed the remote

"heard the rules Spike?"

"Lets see.no talking bout the movie, no kisses, no touchy feelies, and no fighting" he said

"smart ass," she mumbled and un paused the video.

By the end of the second film Dawn was asleep against Spike's shoulder, as well as Willow.

"Buffy, I'm going carry her upstairs" Spike whispered as she turned her head quickly to face him,

"what was that?"

"Dawn, she's sleeping, I'm just going to take her up",

"okay" she said as he got up and lifted her up in her arms and went to leave,

"thanks" she said as he stopped and smiled then continued to walked off.


THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS AS YOUR REVIEWS KEEP ME WRITING, I'L TRY GET ANOTHE CHAP OF CAN WE FORGIVE & FORGET BY NEXT WEEK AS THAT ONE I HAVE JUST STARTED, BUT THERE WILL DEFNENTLY BE ACOUPLE OF CHAPS OF THIS STORY.

I WEEK LATER

"Mum? Mum?" Buffy said as she walked through the kitchen entrance to find the room completely empty, when by now it should have Dawn and her Mum eating breakfast.

Buffy then spotted a note on the table as she picked it up and read it;

Buffy,
I have been called in for a business trip

This weekend in New York, should be home on Sunday night, Dawn will be at Janice's all weekend, so you can go out and have a great time with your friends instead of having to worry about your sister! Have a nice Weekend Sweetie

Love Mum

She put the note down and opened the fridge as the phone started to ring, "hello?" she said picking up the receiver,

"Buffy, good you're up me and Cordelia will be over in a sec" Willow said and hung up as Buffy looked at the phone and put it back down,

"should I change or should I just stay like this? Survey says.stay like this, me cannot be bothered" she mumbled as she finished off her yoghurt and placed it in the sink,

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1" she said as the doorbell rang.

"Hey" Buffy said opening the door as both girls just walked right through and sat in the lounge, "if I knew you were coming over to just sit, I would've made you both stay home" she said,

"we need to talk with you" Willow said ignoring Buffy's comment,

"I agree.okay, last week you kissed Spike and went home with him, we decided to not bother you about that.but it's been a week we want details and second, what the hell is going on with you two, have you like spoken at all about your situation?" Cordelia said a little too quickly,

"okay.what?" Buffy said confused,

"In 6 words.we want gossip, every little detail" Willow said.

"Okay" Buffy said after a moment "where do I begin",

"start with last Saturday night" Cordelia said.

Buffy sat down and looked at both girls,

"we are waiting Buffy" Willow said,

"well you saw what happened that night we kissed",

"but you also went to his house.what happened there?" Cordelia asked,

"we talked most of the night" she started,

"talked?"

"Well I talked he listened the usual friends stuff",

"you are lying" Cordelia said "you both had sex, admit it now",

"that obvious",

"please, he so wanted to screw you last weekend, but disappointed when Dawn and all of us were around",

"look, that night meant a lot to the both of us, but I told him that we had to keep it hush hush... meaning that I just got out of a relationship",

"how'd he take it",

"I guess he was okay, he was making a face that he couldn't read.so we both decided, nothing serious just kissing friends for now",

"so that explains the kiss last weekend" Willow said,

"wait how come there are no kisses at school",

"well, we aren't an actual couple and Angel is around.I'm just not ready for the public outing just yet" she finished,

"have you both talked this week",

"he calls me every night to see how I am, and to say goodnight, that night isn't mentioned though",

"Buffy, do you have regrets?" Willow asked her,

"no I don't.he was sweet the whole time, it was a first time ever which I had felt alive, I mean Angel was like part of the cast from Gone in 60 seconds, and he'd be asleep, with Spike afterwards we just talked all night except for the second round" she said "he is a true friend, and I know that this may sound a bit corny, but he sang me to sleep after I told him that I couldn't sleep",

"oh my god" both girls said jealousy in both there faces.

"And I told him the next day, that he wasn't a rebound, he was there as my friend, I tried to tell him that I loved him, but he would of thought that they were the same feelings as his, but mine are not the same, but I know that one day I will" Buffy finished,

"you better hope as hell you will, I mean don't break his heart" Cordelia stated.

"I can't believe he sang to you" Willow said with a dreamy look on her face

"I hate Xander" Cordeilia said "actually Xander and singing don't mix, so I'm okay with it"

*********

"Okay Mate, let's start from the top" Spike said to Xander while adjusting the microphone stand,

"no",

"and why the bloody hell not?"

"We would first like to know, what is going on between you and Buffy",

"a real man doesn't tell",

"pity, I'm not a man, I'm still a teenager" Xander said,

"good points from both sides, but I have to agree with Spike, we need to get started" OZ said,

"you do realise that she has probably told Willow and Cordelia by now" Xander cut in "yep, they are at Buffy's right now talking probably about...gee I don't know, your man hood I guess",

"what!" Spike said,

"yep.and we are stuck here with Mr Perfect Gentlemen who won't even put one word in",

"you think they are talking about my manhood?" Spike asked OZ with a very worried look on his face,

"With girls you never know" OZ answered for him,

"good news boys, practice is bloody well over" Spike said grabbing his jacket and walking out the door to his car.

"Do you think we could at least get a bit of info in on what is going on?" Xander asked Oz

"No!" Spike said "anyone up for a ride to Buffy's place, you know pay the girls a nice visit before any secrets come out, before I mentally kill the girl that she is" he said mumbling the last part.

******

"Spike.hey" Buffy said opening the door to see Spike, Xander and OZ on the other side,

"sorry to bother you, but the lad's wanted to visit their ladies",

"nice covering up with that" Xander said "hey Buffy", Xander and OZ walked through the door and into the lounge room.

"Luv, before we go in there, can we talk for one moment?"

"Sure is something wrong?"

"What do those girls know?" he asked as a smile went on her lips,

"don't like the look your giving me luv, what'd you say?" he said

"Enough, by the way it's nothing bad, and the look is because you look so cute when you are totally freaked out" she finished and then walked into the lounge as he stood there,

"nothing bad.not bad" he said,

"come on Spiky" Buffy said dragging him into the lounge.

"So Buffy, what's happening tonight, I hear from my Cordelia source that Mummy Summers is out of town and that there will be no Dawn duty" Xander said,

"Gee what a powerful source you got there" Spike mumbled as Buffy hit him,

"Cordelia is right mum is out of town, and I have the house to myself" she answered,

"okay then do you guys want to hang or go out",

"I'm working tonight at the karaoke joint, if you all want we'll go there tonight at least when I drop off I can join you" Spike said.

"Okay, so it's settled, we meet here at 9pm, and we'll meet you there I take it?" she asked Spike as he nodded.

"The four of us are going to get going, go home, relax you know the usual" Xander said as the four of them stood up,

"I should get going too, I'll take you boys home, and the ladies, if they don't have the energy to walk down the street" Spike added.

"Funny, ha ha ha ha" Cordelia said as the four of them walked out of the house,

"I'll see you later" Spike said to Buffy,

"don't I get a goodbye kiss?"

"well.if you insist" he said as she walked closer and kissed him,

"Spike! Let's get going before I graduate" Cordelia said,

"bye" he said and walked off.

Hey peeps...look just want you guys to please review my story, let me know if I should keep going or if i should stop, cos ur the readers and ur opinions matter the most!!!

CHAPTER. 6

"Oh, look over here, aren't we Mr. Serious" Xander said walking up to Spike,

"as long as I get paid, Mr Serious doesn't care" Spike replied as Cordelia and Buffy walked over to them, "what is that?" Spike said pointing to Buffy's outfit,

"oh, do you like, I picked it out for her" Cordelia said,

"Beauty of a pick there" he muttered,

"actually, I like my style of clothing and what I have chosen, thankyou very much" Cordelia said,

"dude, how many times have I told you, never put down her fashion, it's her future" Xander said in a semi- joke semi- serious voice as Cordelia hit him,

"Where's Willow and OZ?" Buffy said ignoring Spikes comment,

"they're inside" Spike mumbled,

"Can you two go inside" Buffy said as Cordelia and Xander walked inside.

"So.what's wrong with what I'm wearing",

"it's too revealing" he said,

"I dressed like this when I was with Angel",

"well me and Angel are different," he said "he might of liked what you use to wear, but I'd at least make sure that'd you cover a bit, wouldn't be surprised if Angel chose your clothing for you",

"Spike, you have no right to tell me what to wear.you're not my boyfriend, you have just.god I hate you" she said,

"true, silly me how could Spike over here forget" he mumbled and leaned against the wall,

"don't ruin tonight for me, I'm going inside, I'll see you later" she said,

"Buffy.I'm sorry",

"whatever" she said and walked off.

"So is that how it happens" he said "I'm not her boyfriend, looks like I'll be having some fun of my own tonight then"

**********

"Gee, all my questions have been answered, now I know why you Spike are the lead singer" Cordelia said as Xander walked off the stage and sat down.

"Buffy, are you okay, why no smooches with Spike" Willow whispered as Buffy watch Spike talking to a girl over at the bar,

"what can't we not sit together at all for once with out everyone asking questions, it's not like we are a couple Will" she said as she saw the girl passing her phone to Spike as he put his number in and kissed her,

"come on Spike, you go up" OZ said encouraging him as he got back from the bar,

"I think I sing enough",

"no, you don't" Cordelia said,

"show the blonde from the bar just how well you sing" Buffy said,

"fine.might actually dedicate this one to you though" he said and walked to the stage as he picked his song.

Met a girl, thought she was grand,
fell in love found out first hand,
Went well for a week or two,
then it all came unglued
In a trap, trap I cant grab,
never thought I'd be the one who slipped
Then I started to realise, I was living one big lie

Spike then pulled a chair and sat next to Buffy and continued to sing as she avoided his gaze.

She fucken hates me,
trust
She fucken hates me,
lalala
I tried so hard and she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away

She was Queen for about an hour,
After that, she got sour
She took on a helping hand
No sign of her, no feeling bad, no

In a trap, trap I cant grab, never thought I'd be the one who slipped

Then I started to realise, I was living one big lie
She fucken hates me,
trust
She fucken hates me, lalala

I tried so hard and she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away

"Please Spike, stop" Buffy pleaded

"Just gettin started luv" he said

That's my story, as you see
Learned my lesson & so did she
Now it's over, and I'm glad
Cos I'm a fool for all I've said
She fucken hates me, trust

She fucken hates me, lalala

I tried so hard and she tore my feelings like I had none

And ripped them away

He knew he was hurting her, but only if she knew that what she said made him feel the way he was feeling,

La la la la la la la la la la, trust

La la la la la la la la la la, trust

La la la la la la la la la la, trust

La la la la la la la la la la, trust

She fucken hates me

"So, I take it that you hate him?" Xander said as Buffy got up and walked outside as Spike sat down and skulled his beer as they all looked at him,

"what? Was my voice bad?" he asked as Cordelia hit him on the back of the head.

"You are a complete asshole" she said and went to go after Buffy,

"hey, I was singing what she told me herself," he said stopping Cordelia,

"I think you should go and apologise to her",

"for what?"

"For embarrassing her, that's where I would start, Spike, you are suppose to be in love with her",

"I am" he said "I was just basically singing what I felt, I mean, we fought she said she hated me, but yet I'm still the fool",

"Spike, why did you kiss and give a girl your number",

"hey me and Buffy aren't even official",

"go talk to her.now" Cordelia said as Spike looked at the others,

"fix damage control, before damage control then doubles between the both of you" Willow said putting on her resolve face, which ofcourse Spike knew not to object to,

"fine" he said and walked outside.

"Thought you'd be kissing your new girlfriend" Buffy spat as he sat next to her,

"I was just upset with you," he said as she muttered something,

"what was that luv?" he asked

"I wore this outfit for you, I thought you would like it" she said,

"I do, but you got to know this, you don't have to dress up to impress me, I love you already" he said as she just sat there "Buffy, I'm sorry about just now",

"I deserved it, I mean, I know what I said, but I shouldn't of said it in the first place, so I forgive you and I'm sorry" she said,

"forgive you too" he said quietly,

"so.you gave her your number?",

"nope, it was actually the local butcher shop, just wanted her off my back" he said "why, are you jealous?" he asked her with a smirk on his face

"Of you, whatever" she said,

"you are so jealous" he said as she wouldn't look at him,

"I am not",

"go on, admit it, you are so jealous, because you miss having your little hands on my tight little body" he said,

"could you love yourself much?" she asked him,

"love you too much to love myself" he replied as they sat there for the next minute in silence.

"Come on just admit-" Spike was then cut off with Buffy's lips on his.

CHAPTER. 7

"I'm going to change into some more comfy clothes," Buffy said as the gang walked into her house each one of them exhausted,

"would you like some help?" Spike asked from the bottom of the stairs,

"not that comfy" she replied

"tease" he joked and sat in the lounge with the others,

"you my friend got off very lucky" OZ said as Spike just nodded,

"so, what's going on?" Cordelia asked,

"don't bother asking, the man is too much of a gentleman" Xander said as Spike smirked,

"Well, Cordelia" he started,

"hey! That is so not fair dude" Xander said,

"Buffy will probably tell her anyways," Spike said defending him self as he continued "basically same situation as before, kissing mates",

"you don't want that",

"what am I suppose to do, I am not going to force her into a relationship, I will just stuff up my chances completely" Spike said "best I leave things the way they are, and hopefully it will just happen,"

"whatever" Xander said,

"hey!" they all said as Spike looked at Xander confused, "look, Spike, you have finally gotten what you wanted after 4 years, 4 long years.you're aim is to keep it that way, maybe keep it further, let her know what your intentions are, that you will be there for her & not what Angel was there for" Xander finished as Buffy walked in the room.

"Anyone up for pizza, I have this huge junk food craving" Buffy said sitting on Spike's lap,

"I think you should take pizza off your diet luv" he said as she faced him, "kidding luv" he assured her and kissed her,

"asshole" she muttered and kissed him,

"do you want to order a pizza for 2, I mean if you want we can go" Xander said,

"funny" Spike said,

"I thought it was hilarious" OZ said taking his eyes off the TV,

"well, I don't care, I am ordering for 6" Buffy said reaching over for the phone as Spike got a perfect view of her rear right in his face,

"guess my delivery arrived early" he said,

"you mind?"

"Actually, I don't" he said and pinched it.

**********************************

"Yummy, yummy, yummy I got food in my tummy" Buffy sang as they all ate in the kitchen,

"& I don't think I can eat no more" Cordelia finished

"I can" Willow said grabbing another piece as Buffy fed Spike a bit off he piece as he kissed her.

"eww, pizza breath",

"eww.don't you have that" he asked her

"shut up" she mumbled and fed him more of her piece,

"never knew pizza could be so romantic" Xander said putting another piece in his plate,

"well it does come from a very romantic country" OZ said,

"I would love to go to Italy one day, or even Paris, the most romantic city in the world, wonder what makes it so romantic",

"could be the amount of pornography films filmed each day" Spike replied as they stared at him,

"oh, guess I said that out loud, anyway, it's not like I know, I mean, do the French make pornos? Who knows",

"Sweetie, babbling a little" Buffy said,

"oh, so I'm sweetie in this little mix",

"yes" she said and looked away.

"So, what are everybody's plans tomorrow" Cordelia asked,

"Me and OZ and having dinner at my parents house tomorrow" Willow said,

"gee, I wouldn't even dare to dine with Cords parents",

"they freak me out already, I mean if Xander came over my dad would ask him question after question of what his intentions are about his little girl" Cordelia said as they all laughed,

"one intention is to ravish her" Xander said and kissed Cordelia as Buffy watched them, deep inside thinking if that could be her and Spike one day.

"So, Buffy, what are your plans" Willow asked,

"well, Dawn comes home tomorrow morning, so it looks like I'll be home watching her, and also a lot of studying and homework" she finished,

"want to come shopping? I mean we can take Dawn" Cordelia offered,

"I am due to spoil myself" Buffy said "sure why not, I'll study at night",

"What about you Spike",

"you know the usual Sunday, Father & Son bonding" he said with fake enthusiasm "hopefully another splendid game of golf",

"hmm, interesting",

"actually, it's a pretty good game, enjoy winning" he said.

"Which reminds me, Soccer practice is on.Spike, are you trying out this year" Xander asked,

"well, you can count me out" OZ said,

"don't know",

"why not, you love Soccer" Buffy said as he just shrugged his shoulders,

"don't really want to be on a team with Tall, Dark & Forehead" he replied,

"Oh is that what it is" Buffy said as Xander nodded in agreement.

"Now what do you need to say" Spike said,

"well Angel got Captain last year, and I knew that you were dying for that spot" Buffy said,

"not true",

"is Spike, you were actually planning his death last year",

"hey!" Buffy said,

"what, like it matters now, you're not together",

"but we were then" she muttered as Spike put his pizza down,

"fine, to prove that I am no wimp, I will try out for the team and also for captain, Xander come into the lounge with me for a sec" Spike said and walked off as Xander followed him.

"What's up?"

"We are going to get that Bloody Ponce injured",

"why so you can be captain",

"not that.for hurting Buffy, if I can't punch him in the face, since Buffy told me not to, then I can just injure him, and get Captain it will kill him" he said,

"it might risk you getting Captain" Xander said as Spike just looked at him,

"me? No, no" he said "anyway, I thought you wanted to pay him back",

"Xander buffy is also your best friend, you have known her longer then me, she is like your sister.need I remind you, he cheated on her after four years" Spike said,

"what's the plan?" Xander asked after a moment "because, now I don't mind damaging him enough that I wont be aloud to play",

"well, don't let anyone know, and I mean it, don't say a word to Cordelia, you know that she has a mouth like one of those bloody Hoovers" Spike said "plus, I don't want Buffy to know that it is a set up, that is why you are going to do it, if I did, she would know that it was planned",

"right no telling" Xander "what about OZ?"

"He can know, just tell him, no telling",

"you got it",

"I'm just sick of him getting and being better" Was all Spike said.

(Flashback) - 1 year ago-

"Buffy, wait up" Spike yelled running up to her,

"Spike, hey" she said,

"happy birthday" he said passing her a wrapped parcel as she accepted it

"thanks" she said,

"you can open it now",

"I was going to anyway" she said and unwrapped it "my god it's beautiful" she said looking over and the painting, "did you do this",

"uh- yeah, I was at the beach one sunset and it looked amazing, and beautiful, so I decided to paint it and give it to you, since you are amazing and beautiful" he replied finally letting his feelings out,

"I love it" she said as Spike smile turned into a frown, welcoming his new arrival,

"happy birthday gorgeous" Angel whispered in her ear as he held a ring in front of her,

"Oh my god, this is so beautiful, god, Spike looked",

"bloody amazing" he mumbled,

"god, Angel thankyou so much, this is the best gift ever, oh god, how do I have to make up for this present" Buffy said as Spike just walked off.

"& Right now, I know that he is stuck in her head.I need him totally out of the picture, I can't be with her if she still loves him" Spike said as him and Xander sat there,

"knock knock" Buffy said from the entrance,

"hey" Xander said,

"I just came to say that we are on sleepy mode, so when your ready Xander, Cordelia would love to go home",

"sure, I'll just go in the kitchen" he said and walked off.

"Are you okay?" Buffy asked him as Spike stood,

"dandy" he replied "I'm going to get going too, I have golf tomorrow",

"true, you don't want to sleep in now do you?" she asked,

"and upset poor daddy, not bloody likely",

"Spike" she said stopping him,

"yes luv?" he replied

"one day, I will forget about him, and one day you will be the person who is on my mind, I know that you will, so sure that I know is because, when Xander and Cordelia had that moment before, I wish it were us, freaking about meeting or having dinner with our parents, the boyfriend, girlfriend stuff" she said "I want to have that with you, but like you said, when I love someone else, I can't, when I am with you, I only want to love you".

"Well, I can let you know right now, that you saying every bit of those words, has made my night complete" he said as she stepped closer to him,

"oh, but the night isn't over, it finishes with that goodbye kiss" she said as he put his arms around he and pulled her close,

"so, now we are still just mates who like to kiss",

"yep" she said and kissed him slowly.

"I hope it turns to something more" he wispered in her ear and then left
CHAPTER. 7

"I'm going to change into some more comfy clothes," Buffy said as the gang walked into her house each one of them exhausted,

"would you like some help?" Spike asked from the bottom of the stairs,

"not that comfy" she replied

"tease" he joked and sat in the lounge with the others,

"you my friend got off very lucky" OZ said as Spike just nodded,

"so, what's going on?" Cordelia asked,

"don't bother asking, the man is too much of a gentleman" Xander said as Spike smirked,

"Well, Cordelia" he started,

"hey! That is so not fair dude" Xander said,

"Buffy will probably tell her anyways," Spike said defending him self as he continued "basically same situation as before, kissing mates",

"you don't want that",

"what am I suppose to do, I am not going to force her into a relationship, I will just stuff up my chances completely" Spike said "best I leave things the way they are, and hopefully it will just happen,"

"whatever" Xander said,

"hey!" they all said as Spike looked at Xander confused, "look, Spike, you have finally gotten what you wanted after 4 years, 4 long years.you're aim is to keep it that way, maybe keep it further, let her know what your intentions are, that you will be there for her & not what Angel was there for" Xander finished as Buffy walked in the room.

"Anyone up for pizza, I have this huge junk food craving" Buffy said sitting on Spike's lap,

"I think you should take pizza off your diet luv" he said as she faced him, "kidding luv" he assured her and kissed her,

"asshole" she muttered and kissed him,

"do you want to order a pizza for 2, I mean if you want we can go" Xander said,

"funny" Spike said,

"I thought it was hilarious" OZ said taking his eyes off the TV,

"well, I don't care, I am ordering for 6" Buffy said reaching over for the phone as Spike got a perfect view of her rear right in his face,

"guess my delivery arrived early" he said,

"you mind?"

"Actually, I don't" he said and pinched it.

**********************************

"Yummy, yummy, yummy I got food in my tummy" Buffy sang as they all ate in the kitchen,

"& I don't think I can eat no more" Cordelia finished

"I can" Willow said grabbing another piece as Buffy fed Spike a bit off he piece as he kissed her.

"eww, pizza breath",

"eww.don't you have that" he asked her

"shut up" she mumbled and fed him more of her piece,

"never knew pizza could be so romantic" Xander said putting another piece in his plate,

"well it does come from a very romantic country" OZ said,

"I would love to go to Italy one day, or even Paris, the most romantic city in the world, wonder what makes it so romantic",

"could be the amount of pornography films filmed each day" Spike replied as they stared at him,

"oh, guess I said that out loud, anyway, it's not like I know, I mean, do the French make pornos? Who knows",

"Sweetie, babbling a little" Buffy said,

"oh, so I'm sweetie in this little mix",

"yes" she said and looked away.

"So, what are everybody's plans tomorrow" Cordelia asked,

"Me and OZ and having dinner at my parents house tomorrow" Willow said,

"gee, I wouldn't even dare to dine with Cords parents",

"they freak me out already, I mean if Xander came over my dad would ask him question after question of what his intentions are about his little girl" Cordelia said as they all laughed,

"one intention is to ravish her" Xander said and kissed Cordelia as Buffy watched them, deep inside thinking if that could be her and Spike one day.

"So, Buffy, what are your plans" Willow asked,

"well, Dawn comes home tomorrow morning, so it looks like I'll be home watching her, and also a lot of studying and homework" she finished,

"want to come shopping? I mean we can take Dawn" Cordelia offered,

"I am due to spoil myself" Buffy said "sure why not, I'll study at night",

"What about you Spike",

"you know the usual Sunday, Father & Son bonding" he said with fake enthusiasm "hopefully another splendid game of golf",

"hmm, interesting",

"actually, it's a pretty good game, enjoy winning" he said.

"Which reminds me, Soccer practice is on.Spike, are you trying out this year" Xander asked,

"well, you can count me out" OZ said,

"don't know",

"why not, you love Soccer" Buffy said as he just shrugged his shoulders,

"don't really want to be on a team with Tall, Dark & Forehead" he replied,

"Oh is that what it is" Buffy said as Xander nodded in agreement.

"Now what do you need to say" Spike said,

"well Angel got Captain last year, and I knew that you were dying for that spot" Buffy said,

"not true",

"is Spike, you were actually planning his death last year",

"hey!" Buffy said,

"what, like it matters now, you're not together",

"but we were then" she muttered as Spike put his pizza down,

"fine, to prove that I am no wimp, I will try out for the team and also for captain, Xander come into the lounge with me for a sec" Spike said and walked off as Xander followed him.

"What's up?"

"We are going to get that Bloody Ponce injured",

"why so you can be captain",

"not that.for hurting Buffy, if I can't punch him in the face, since Buffy told me not to, then I can just injure him, and get Captain it will kill him" he said,

"it might risk you getting Captain" Xander said as Spike just looked at him,

"me? No, no" he said "anyway, I thought you wanted to pay him back",

"Xander buffy is also your best friend, you have known her longer then me, she is like your sister.need I remind you, he cheated on her after four years" Spike said,

"what's the plan?" Xander asked after a moment "because, now I don't mind damaging him enough that I wont be aloud to play",

"well, don't let anyone know, and I mean it, don't say a word to Cordelia, you know that she has a mouth like one of those bloody Hoovers" Spike said "plus, I don't want Buffy to know that it is a set up, that is why you are going to do it, if I did, she would know that it was planned",

"right no telling" Xander "what about OZ?"

"He can know, just tell him, no telling",

"you got it",

"I'm just sick of him getting and being better" Was all Spike said.

(Flashback) - 1 year ago-

"Buffy, wait up" Spike yelled running up to her,

"Spike, hey" she said,

"happy birthday" he said passing her a wrapped parcel as she accepted it

"thanks" she said,

"you can open it now",

"I was going to anyway" she said and unwrapped it "my god it's beautiful" she said looking over and the painting, "did you do this",

"uh- yeah, I was at the beach one sunset and it looked amazing, and beautiful, so I decided to paint it and give it to you, since you are amazing and beautiful" he replied finally letting his feelings out,

"I love it" she said as Spike smile turned into a frown, welcoming his new arrival,

"happy birthday gorgeous" Angel whispered in her ear as he held a ring in front of her,

"Oh my god, this is so beautiful, god, Spike looked",

"bloody amazing" he mumbled,

"god, Angel thankyou so much, this is the best gift ever, oh god, how do I have to make up for this present" Buffy said as Spike just walked off.

CHAPTER. 8

"Buffy, I'm home, wake- Oh my god!" Dawn said as she ran out of Buffy's room,

"oh shit" Buffy said getting off of Spike and putting her robe on as she ran after her before Spike could react,

"Buff- oh no, no, no" ha said putting his pants on and grabbing his jumper as ran down stairs to see Dawn on the couch,

"Dawn, I can explain" Buffy said,

"you had a guy over, when mum was out of town" she said,

"are you going to tell mum?" Buffy asked sounding a little scared, as Spike somehow couldn't breath, both the older teens were waiting for the 12 year olds response.

"Look, let's say that never happened" Spike suggested

"what the whole you banging my sister",

"actually she was on top-"

"Spike!" Buffy said.

'God these two, they are so hopeless' Dawn thought trying to hide the laughter and smile on her face as she played along, but couldn't help it so bursted out in laughter,

"you little brat" Buffy said,

"as if I would tell mum" Dawn said "you have got to learn to close a door though.don't you have golf with your dad",

"uh, it was this morning.decided to drop by" Spike said as his face got a shade darker.

"well, Buffy told me that when I got home we were going to go shop with Cordelia",

"Dawn!" Buffy said,

"actually, I should get going, I'll see you tomorrow",

"Question, are you too like finally together?"

"No, we are like.uh",

"kissing friends" Spike finished.

"So, basically" Dawn said standing up "you are just sex mates",

"Dawn!" Buffy said,

"you could say that" Spike mumbled,

"Spike, please, a child is present" Buffy said facing him as he nodded,

"Buffy I learn all about Sex. Education at school",

"did your sis look satisfied pet?" Spike asked her as Buffy hit him,

"more than with broad shoulders" she replied as Spike smiled,

"you, you taught her to call him that?" Buffy asked,

"yeah, tell big sis what else I taught you lil bit" Spike said.

"UMM, Peaches, Ponce, Poof",

"this is unbelievable.you can go now Spike",

"true, I have satisfied you for today, so my job is done" Spike said and stepped back as Buffy tried to hit him.

************************

"OH! I like this one" Buffy said picking a nice baby blue top from the rack,

"very nice" Cordelia said,

"so, are you like shopping for clothes that would impress Spike more, because you use to always do that when you dated Angel" Dawn said,

"did I just hear my name" a familiar voice replied as the 3 girls turned around.

"A-Angel, hi" Buffy said,

"hi Buffy" he said "Cordelia, Dawn", they both turned back and walked off, "guess they don't like me" he said walking closer as she couldn't move still shocked that he was in front of her,

"so, you haven't been at school for the past week, why not?" she asked me,

"thought I'd get out of your hair it was the least I could do after I hurt you" he said "how have you been, any guy in your life, I shouldn't ask that",

"no guy" she said very quickly,

"so there is a guy",

"nothing serious.nowhere near it" she assured him "how's that girl Darla",

"uh, didn't quite work out, she preferred for me to be kind of taken, rather then just hers" he said,

"oh" she said,

"enough about me, so who's the guy, do I know him?" he asked as Cordelia walked over,

"Buffy we need to go, I'm meeting Xander in 10 minutes",

"oh okay" she said "I have to go, I'll see you around",

"at school tomorrow, just si you know there are still feelings for you" he answered for her "bye Buffy, bye girls" he then walked off.

"I didn't tell him" Buffy said,

"about?" Cordelia asked,

"Spike, he asked me if I was with anyone one, I said no, and he said so there is a guy, I said yes but know one serious",

"Buffy, you still love Angel don't you?"

"Yes, I do",

"well all I have to say is.tell Spike",

"I can't, it'll break his heart",

"better then lying to him saying that you don't love him" she said as Dawn walked over to them,

"god, how can you talk to that guy, after what he did" Dawn asked her older sister,

"he isn't with that girl anymore.I'm afraid she wanted him when he had a girlfriend" Buffy said ignoring Dawns last comment as the three girls walked over to the car and got in.

"Buff just promise me that you will tell Spike" Cordelia said "or better yet figure out what you want",

"your right, I have got to tell Spike, and tell Angel, then I need to decide what or who I want" she said as Cordelia drove out of the mall's parking lot.

******************************

"Buffy, what brings you by?" Spike asked opening the door,

"hi, can I come in?"

"Sure" he said stepping back so she could come in. Buffy walked into the lounge and sat down.

"So, what's wrong?" he said,

"how do you know if anything is wrong, I could've just come over for a little roll in the sack",

"hello Buffy" Giles said waking in through the lounge toward the kitchen as Spike smirked,

"and you didn't happen to see my dad's car?" he asked her,

"fine.I'll get to the point, I sort of bumped into Angel today" she said,

"oh" was all he said and sat down "so.how was the great poof",

"so, you're okay with me running into Angel",

"well yeah, I mean, it's not like you're going to get together with him" he sais as she looked away, "right?" he asked.

"Spike, I still have feelings for him" she admitted,

"ofcourse you do, I don't expect you to not, I mean 4 years is a long time.who am I kidding, I hate the fact that you do" he said,

"he broke up with the other girl he still has feelings for me" she said,

"are you going to get back with him, after he hurt you, cheated on you.and after he promises that he wont ever cheat on you, what you're just going to get back together with him?" he asked her getting angrier,

"I don't know Spike".

"Do my feelings mean anything to you" he asked her "I mean seriously, it's bad enough that right now as I wait for you to make up your mind, I feel like a rebound guy.but yet I know deep down that it's probably going to end up getting nowhere",

"Spike",

"you'll go back to him, and you'll get hurt again, and again, and again, and when you've had enough, you'll come back to me, and expect me to be your night in shining armour, but no, even though I might be your best mate, I won't be your shoulder to cry on",

"Spike",

"not if you choose him" he said and walked off,

"Spike, just stop.are you saying that I choose Spike, then our friendship is over",

"oh, I'm sorry pet does that hurt you, am I hurting your feelings" he said sarcastically

"no, you must love to get hurt",

"that is not fair",

"oh but dragging me around is" he said "I thought you actually had some brains, guess you didn't, just leave" he then walked off.

*******************

"Cordelia" Buffy said running in the girls room as her and Xander broke apart,

"umm, Buffy, kind of a private moment" Xander said standing up straightening himself,

"I am a bad person" she said and started crying,

"it's okay we were only kissing" Cordelia said,

"yeah Buffy, I mean don't cry about it" Xander assured her.

"I told Spike that I had feelings for Angel" she said and broke out crying even more,

"oh no" Xander muttered, "how'd he take it",

"he basically said that if I choose him, Angel, the friendship is over",

"so, are you actually considering that" Xander asked her,

"I don't know" Buffy said,

"you don't know, Buffy I was hoping you'd actually say no" Xander said, "give her a break, she dated the guy for 4 years",

"true, but he hurt her once it doesn't mean that he won't hurt her again" Xander said in the same sarcastic tone Spike did only 10 minutes ago.

"Okay.do you want to lose Spike as a friend?" Cordelia asked Buffy,

"no, I don't",

"But yet, you want Angel" Xander added,

"so, what about your feeling's for Spike" Cordelia asked her,

"there are feelings, but not love" she said.

"Well, the guy doesn't expect for you to be in love with him yet" Xander said "but, I do know and he knows.actually we all know that you will love him one day.would you like to know why?" Xander asked sitting next to her,

"why?"

"He will never hurt you.and you know that, I am going to go",

"okay" Cordelia said as Buffy just sat there.

"I'll see you both at school tomorrow.oh yeah good luck with all that Buffy" he then walked off as Cordelia sat down and let Buffy cry on her shoulder,

"we can call Willow, the dinner should be over",

"good Idea, I need Willow" Buffy added,

"want my advise",

"please",

"do what you think will make you happy, and not something that will hurt you in the end, Angel may still have feelings, but I know that when he was cheating on you, he had feelings, and that didn't stop him"

Chapter. 9


(3 DAYS LATER- THE DAY OF SOCCER TRYOUTS)

"God, you can cut the anger on this table with a knife" Cordelia muttered as Buffy sat across from Spike, neither ofcourse saying a word to or looking at one another,

"Willow, I was wondering if after we eat we can go to the library, study for that history test, and also tonight after school" Buffy asked,

"sure, but this is the 3rd night in a row, are you sure that you are up to a.3rd night in a row" Willow asked her,

"well, school is important, especially my last year and all .plus don't have any plans tonight",

"uh Willow, us guys are playing at the Bronze tonight" OZ reminded her,

"oh, I forgot.Buffy",

"it's okay, I know how to study on my own" she said,

"I'm sorry, it's just boyfriend and all, got to support him, he promised to thank me on the first album, or when they get a Grammy" Willow said as Spike and Xander looked at OZ,.

"So I have a dream.so what, plus a Grammy, now that is big",

"sorry to burst your bubble mate.but I won't be around next year.so you'll have to find another lead singer",

"okay, registering new information.loading.Verifying.okay.what?" Xander said,

"You could say that I got accepted somewhere.overseas" Spike said ignoring Buffy looking at him,

"no way, where?" Willow asked,

"London" he said finally facing Buffy "dad had this idea to head back there.for good, wouldn't mind going back"

"Do you know when you are leaving?" Cordelia asked after looking at Buffy,

"day after graduation, well that's what dad has planned if I do go" he said standing up and grabbing his tray "I'm off, got these soccer tryouts" he then walked off as Buffy watched him walk out of the cafeteria,

"I am going to go study, you coming Willow",

"sure" she said "where are you guys going to go?"

"Well, I am trying out too, and Cordelia is going to watch and so is OZ" Xander said.

"Okay, well good luck" Willow said and ran after Buffy.

*************

"Buffy.are you okay?" Willow asked her,

"fine.considering that I am a very bad liar," she said and slammed her head on the table "ow.and stupid" she then rubbed her head.

"So, he is leaving.for good",

"good luck to him.I have to stop lying, let's just go and watch them try out I can't just sit here and study after receiving that kind of news" Buffy said standing up and placing her books in her bag as Willow did the same.

SOCCER TRY OUTS-

"Hey Spike" Xander said running over to him,

"yeah mate",

"are we still on with the plan",

"nope, I am over it, I'll get Captain the hard way" he said as he noticed Buffy and Willow sit down as Angel walked over to her, "or maybe I can just kill him, and not worry about going into jail" Spike added as Xander looked over to where Spike was staring,

"so.still not talking",

"no, don't think that would be a good idea if she is going to date him again.you know if we were together I reckon to get her to love me, I should cheat on her" Spike said sarcastically as Xander just stood there "I've given up, he wins, if she wants to get hurt then she doesn't deserve me that's for sure, and plus London, a place where I have been dying to go back for the past 4 years" ,

"god, you have guts",

"what?",

"look at that girl, look closely, what you're doing leaving, is being a coward, you love her, you leaving is letting them both know that 'hey, you can take her, because I give up, and I don't fight for a girl, who I am in love with'",

"shut up Harris" Spike said facing him,

"no, I don't have to.but fine go ahead give up.I don't know what you are thinking, but I do know that you will win the girl in the end, but-",

"Harris, I am bloody warning you",

"or what, are you going to hit me for being right, go for it" he said stepping back and holding his arms out in defeat,

"trust me, you bloody don't want me to hit you" he said stepping closer to him,

"well, I can fight back" he said.



"Hey guys, what's going on with Xander and Spike?" Willow asked as they all stood and walked over.

"Xander, I don't want to hit you" Spike said "but from this point on, I want you to stop telling me what to bloody do.I am leaving for London after graduation",

"why, cause leaving solves everything",

"yes.it bloody well gets me away from her" Spike said pointing to Buffy as she walked over with the others and stopped as she heard what Spike said,

"nice to know that William" she muttered,

"am I missing something" Angel said to Cordelia as she shushed him.

"Why do you want to get away from Buffy, Spike" Angel asked stepping up,

"I wouldn't come any closer if I were you Nancy Boy" Spike said,

"answer the question, what has she got to do with you leaving",

"oh, don't you know" Spike said turning to look at Buffy "didn't you tell him about our little week together",

"Spike was the guy, who meant nothing to you, nothing serious" Angel asked her,

"yes" she said quietly,

"meant nothing to you?" Spike said "is that right",

"Spike I-" she started,

"okay people who are trying out line up, others sit down please" the Soccer coach said walking over as Spike turned and walked over to line up and Angel stood next to him.

"So, you and Buffy.do yourself a favour and leave, stay the hell away from her" Angel said facing Spike as Spike also turned to face him,

"are you saying I don't have a chance and you bloody well do",

"well, I do, I mean she loves me.not you",

"you know what, Buffy is not my priority at the moment, getting Captain is so shut your trap" he said and turned back around to listen to the coach,

"doubt you'd get Captain, not with that bad knee injury" Angel said and went to kick his knee, but Spike being quick moved away and trip Angel as he fell to the ground,

"not bloody likely mate.and guess what, it looks as though you have competition with the whole Buffy thing, you might not know but I have 3 months to get her to fall in love with me" Spike said "& so far I can tell you, she does enjoy having sex with me",

"though don't you get it.you were her rebound guy, she came to you because she knew that you loved her, and that she didn't have to beg" Angel replied as he stood up "now, I better get back to training hard, me being this year's senior Captain and all", he then ran off as Spike and Xander looked at each other as Xander nodded.

"See Buffy, so far so good, no punches, just a little trip" Willow said,

"for now" she said as she saw Xander accidentally knock into Angel as he fell as Spike tripped over Angel but stepped right on his knee in the process.

"Oh God" Buffy said as Angel grabbed his knee as Spike tried to help him up.

"You okay mate?" Spike asked,

"That was on purpose.Ow",

"what are you talking about" Spike asked checking his knee out "look you fell, I tripped and stepped on you, my fault that you are in my way?"

"No, but, oh god, this is bad" he said as Spike pulled him up,

"doesn't look good",

"sorry about that.I got a little dizzy back there" Xander said running up to them,

"it's okay" Angel said as the coach ran up to him,

"what happen, is your leg okay",

"I think it's the knee coach",

"great, down one good player this year" he mumbled "Harris take him to the nurse and stay there, don't worry you are on the team, given you are a senior",

"yes coach" he said and took Angel towards the building as Spike smiled.

"Nice one" Buffy said as Spike and her looked at each other as he nodded answering her question and walked off.

"What?" Cordelia said confused,

"nothing" Buffy said.

*****************


"Spike?" Buffy said sitting up from her desk as he walked in her room,

"I know, last person you'd expect to show up" he said,

"you are right there" she mumbled "I take it that whole injury thing was your idea",

"That obvious" he admitted,

"so...what does bring you by?" she said,

"oh, yeah, the reason I came, firstly I am not going to hassle you about why you didn't tell Angel, so I'll just hassle you in the future, now, in 3 months I'm leaving, you've got til then to prove why you want me to stay or if you want me to stay" he started "Buffy, I love you, and I plan to at least try get you to love me before I go",

"we'll see" she said.

"Is that how you're going to look at this.I mean, hello?"

"How else can I look at it" she said,

"look, the other night you told me that you will one day love me.is there still a chance?"

"Yes.there is, but who knows, all I know is that one day we will be together, and we will be happy" she said "look, can we talk about something else, cause over the past week this is all that we have been talking about",

"sure." he said "actualy no, cos I have nothing else to talk to you about-"

"Spike, just shut up and kiss me" Buffy said walking about to him

"or I could do just that" he said to himself as he grabbed her and kissed her.

*******************

"That was he best conversation ever," Spike said as he got off of Buffy trying to catch his breath,

"I agree.know one can know about this though. It will be all just confusing" Buffy suggested as he nodded,

"True, too many questions" he agreed "what if they ask questions...I mean you can shut me up by kissing me, but they can't do much"

"Just don't listen, be a gentlemen"

"pft...you are so going to tell the girls" he accused as she giggled and faced him

"I might, but you have no idea what they are like" she defended her self

"Have yo met Xander at all...Please tell me Spike, Please!" Spike said as Buffy laughed at is attempt to talk american "hey!"

"Worse American accent by far" Buffy said as he kissed her

"Buffy"

"yeah?" she said as he grabbed ahold of her hand and interlocked them,

"tell me to stay" he said

"Spike-"

"I don't want to have to leave you" he interupted her as she covered his mouth with hers

"stay" she said and kissed him again as he moved away

"say it again"

"stay" she said as he smiled and kissed her as her bedroom door opened

"ahh!"

"Dawn, get out!" Buffy yelled as the youngest Sumers slammed the door
