THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM SARA AND ME!!

Chapter 9

After the night of Buffy’s solo show, Spike had recovered quickly, so they had resumed working together. Things worked very well between them. The more nights they worked together, the more their feelings increased.
There wasn’t a single day where they wouldn’t be arguing over something... anything! But they always survived.
That Wednesday night their show had gone by very quickly and they had been oddly calm. They had chatted, talked with their listeners and between peals of laughter the two hours had flown.
Once it was over, they had stayed there as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
Xander was behind the window, he was about to let them know that he was leaving, but then he stared at them more carefully.
They had taken off their headphones and she had set herself comfortably on her chair, hugging her legs and putting her head on her knees. William was almost laid down on his chair as he talked and gesticulated.
Xander erased the idea of disturbing them from his mind. They were really explosive together.

That night, Drusilla had passed by the studios because she wanted to greet Buffy. The show was over, but she didn’t see Buffy around.
She reached the door of their cabin and stopped with her hand on the handle. Something told her not to get in. From the next door a brunette guy came out, as if he was trying to do as little noise as he could.
“Sorry...” she said in a whisper.
Xander turned abruptly, staring at the beautiful girl.
“Yeah? Can I help you somehow?”
“I hope so. I’m Buffy’s best friend, I was looking for her...”
“Oh, yeah, sure!” he said, lowering his gaze, almost upset. “She is still inside the cabin with Spike. If you want, you can get in, after all, the show is over...”
Drusilla looked at Xander very carefully, as he shook his hand with hers, introducing himself.
“So, tell me, Xander, where you were a minute ago... could you see them... without them noticing you? “
“Yes, sure...”
“Can I go in there, too? I need to verify something, before disturbing them...”

Xander smiled. So, he wasn’t the only one who had that impression about those two.
Dru got in and saw them as they chatted.

< Those two flames are making such a pretty fire together! > she thought.

“No, don’t tell me! I can’t believe you!” Buffy exclaimed.
“I swear that I’m not kidding!” William justified.
“So, in your first show someone made a joke on a phone call!” she said, resuming laughing.
“There’s nothing to laugh, Missy, it was so awkward!”

That made the blonde laugh even more.
“Oh, God, this can’t be true! I’d never thought I would hear the word ‘awkward’ related to you!”
“Hey, I’m a sensible guy!”
“Yes, Spike, as sensible as a road roller!”
“Hey, I’m insulted!”
She burst out laughing again and that made him smile. She was really beautiful when she laughed.
“C’mon, I was kidding, I’m sure that deep somewhere you have a sensible side, it’s just that I always thought that you were the kind of guy who makes people feel awkward and not the contrary!” she explained.
He became serious all of the sudden, moving to a ‘predator’ position as he got closer and closer to her.
Buffy gasped when he made his chair slide closer to hers as he slowly put one of her golden locks behind her ear.
“So, have I ever made you feel awkward, Buffy?” he whispered.
She stayed still as he got closer. Oh, god, what was happening to her stomach? Why did she feel as everything had been thrown upside-down?

William was just a few inches away from her, he could smell her vanilla perfume and it was inebriating him. He had just skimmed her cheek to move one of her locks... and he felt as if he was struck down by lightening.

Behind the window, Xander and Drusilla were gasping. They didn’t know what they were hoping for, but they surely risked a heart attack when the next door slammed open.

William and Buffy jumped from their chairs, parting immediately as Harmony got in.
“Hey, Spikey, I was waiting for you, but you never arrived!” she pouted as William clutched his head between his hands, thinking back about feeling awkward.
“Harm, what the hell are you doing here?”
“What? C’mon, my Blondie Bear, you promised that you would take me out for dinner and then... to your flat!” she said with a giant grin as Buffy got up roughly.
“Well, maybe I’d better go now...”
“No, wait!” William stopped her.
Harmony intervened, placing herself in front of the other blonde and stretching out her hand.
“Yes, Spike is right, wait. We haven’t made the introductions yet. Hi, I’m Harmony Kendall, and I’m Spikey’s girlfriend!”
Buffy shook her hand, forcing herself to smile.
“Nice to meet you, Harmony, I’m Buffy, the...”
“Yes, I know you, you are Spikey’s sidekick!”

Buffy’s eyes went wide. She wasn’t very happy for being called someone’s sidekick... who would be happy about that, anyway?
Harmony didn’t seem to notice that as William was almost tempted to smash his head against the wall.
“C’mon, Harm, let’s go otherwise we’ll be late!” he snapped.
They left as Buffy took her bag. A second after the door slammed open again. She jumped. Maybe someone wanted to make her have a heart attack.
“Hi, Buffy!” a male voice exclaimed, behind her back
She turned, seeing the dark blond guy whom she had met the first night.

< What the hell is his name? Maybe Richard.. or something.. well, I’ll just avoid saying his name!> she thought.

“Hi!”
“Are you done here?”
She took a look around the * empty * room to make him realize that it was obvious that she was done there.
“Sure, and you?”
“Me, too. I was thinking… why don’t we go eat something together?”
Buffy thought about that option for a while.

< If Spike can hang out with a goose, I can hang out with a .. booby!> she decided.

“Sure, why not?”
So, they left.

Xander and Drusilla were still and silent in the other room. No one had noticed them.
“I’ve known you just for a while, but I’m sure that our thoughts are travelling on the same train..”
Xander looked at the brunette a little bit puzzled. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” she went on.
“It depends.. are you thinking that you are odd?”
Drusilla ignored him and she kept staring at the former crowded room.
“I think that those two are dating the wrong people and we should intervene!”
“Whenever there’s an intervention someone gets hurt, mostly me, anyway.. I agree!”
“Fine. I’ll deal with the blonde, you’ll deal with the stockfish!”
“Ok, my partner in crime, deal!” he decided, shaking her hand.
If Anya had seen him right then... she would’ve skin him alive!

“Fine, fine...” Drusilla murmured as they left. “We are gonna make things go as the stars want them to go. We’ll take away the clouds, so the two rays of sun will meet!”

Xander kept staring at her as the walked towards the elevator.
When they got in and the sliding doors closed, he looked at her one last time.
“Well. About the fact of being odd... are you sure that you never thought about that?”
