Author's Chapter Notes:
Thank you to everyone who is reading and reviewing this story. It really is what keeps me writing! I just wanted to again warn everyone that this is not a fluffy love story. There is a lot of angst and there will be times when you may not like Spike very much, but this is a Spuffy story and though there may be times when it may seem it wont end that way , please trust me and keep reading!
AN* Please review and let me know your thoughts.



Buffy moaned and threw a pillow over her head not wanting it to be morning yet. The last two days had been horrible. She wasn’t ready to face another day watching Cordelia follow Spike around like a puppy dog, finding any excuse to paw all over him. Over the past two days her presence at the mansion was constant. Spike had completely ignored Buffy. He won’t even look at me she thought unable to believe he was the same person who had laid there caressing her just two nights before. The worst part was that while Spike had completely ignored her Cordelia was acting like she was suddenly everyone’s best friend, talking and laughing like she were actually human.

Riley had called her a couple times but she had politely refused his invitations. She just wasn’t up for company right now. Buffy didn’t even bother to change out of her tank top and boxer shorts as she wandered into the kitchen. She froze when she noticed that Cordelia and Spike were in there talking to Jenny. “Well good morning or should I say afternoon” Jenny smiled.

“Morning” Buffy mumbled walking to the refrigerator and grabbing a bottle of water.

“So Buffy since Cordelia and William will be dining out tonight is there anything special you would like for dinner” Jenny asked.

Buffy looked over at Spike who was fully engrossed with some random spot on the floor. She smiled to herself “Don’t worry about me tonight, I have a date” she lied.

Spike’s head immediately shot up. For the first time in two days he looked directly at her. “Oh is it with Riley?” Jenny asked excitedly.

“Yes” Buffy smirked.

“Who is Riley?” Cordelia inquired.

“He is a friend of Xander’s, he is very polite and handsome” Jenny gushed.

“He’s a bloody tosser” Spike murmured.

Buffy smiled as everyone else ignored Spike’s comment and continued to question her about her date.

“You know with Joyce not here, I kind of feel responsible for checking this guy out” Cordelia informed her.

“I a…I’m not sure what time he is picking me up yet, I told him I would call him back today” Buffy promptly explained.

“Oh I have a great idea!” Cordelia exclaimed “Anya has been dying to go out with Xander. How about Monday, the six of us all go out to that new little Italian restaurant? Spike and I could play ‘mom and dad’ and check him out”
Spike immediately started violently choking “What?” he finally managed to croak out.

Buffy was horrified when she first heard Cordelia’s idea. But after Spike’s reaction it she couldn‘t resist…
“Wow Cordelia that sounds really great! I’ll talk to Riley about it tonight.” she smiled returning to her room to call Riley.


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


After calling Riley and asking him to go out that night, Buffy decided to kill some time and try to calm her nerves, Buffy decided to go down to the basement and work out. She didn’t have to worry about Spike being down there as he had been staying up in Cordelias room and she hadn’t seen him in the basement for two days.

The more she thought about Cordelia’s dinner invitation, the less appealing it seemed. Sure she could make Spike mad, but the thought of seeing them out together as husband and wife made her stomach turn.

Tired from her workout, Buffy decided to go shower and get ready for her date. Lost in her thoughts she wondered out of the gym and towards the stairs when she felt someone grab her arm. “We need to talk” his voice was tight.

“Yeah, because that got us so far last time…” Buffy said trying to pull away.

“What the hell are you thinking? Why the hell are you going out with Captain Cardboard?” He said pulling her closer to him.

“It’s none of your business what I do or who I chose to do it with.” Buffy spat.

“It is if you do it to get back at me”

“Don’t flatter yourself” Buffy said narrowing her eyes at him.

“I mean it Buffy, don’t do anything stupid because of me” Spike warned.

Buffy was fuming “You know what Spike, while your concern for my virtue is touching I thinks it’s a bit late.”

“What did you want me to do Buffy? Tell Cordelia Sorry I can’t work things out with you because I want to keep on fucking Buffy.” Buffy tried to look away, she didn’t want him to see the tears in her eyes, but he refused to let her. “Then what? Are you gonna be my pen pal while I spend the next ten years in jail? I don’t think you realize how vindictive she can be, not just to me. She would call your mum and take great pleasure in making you look bad too Buffy.”

“If you’re done I have to get ready for my date” Buffy said yanking her arm away and running up the stairs. When she got to the top and opened the door he grabbed her arm again and backed her into the wall. His face was only inches from hers. “Please don’t do this Buffy. I‘m doing what I have to do” his voice rough and pleading. His eyes were so blue she was sure she could get lost in them.

“Spike… where are you?” They both heard Cordelia yell.

He looked up at Buffy. He could just shut the door and stay here. He wanted nothing more than to take her down to his room, worship her body and beg for her forgiveness, but he didn’t. He backed away and lowered his head. He couldn’t bear to see the look in her eyes “Yeah, can’t keep your wife waiting.”

Buffy ran to her room and slammed her door. She couldn’t stop the tears from falling. She wasn’t sure if she was crying because she knew things were over between her and Spike or if it was because she would be stuck there the rest of the summer having to see them together. She thought about what he had said. She would die if Cordelia found out and told her mother. Buffy didn’t think her mother believed she was a virgin. She had come home early and caught her and Angel making out on the couch one night. The very next day she had marched her to the doctors and put her on the pill, but this was different. She was starting to wonder if she would have been better off spending the summer in Iowa.

After her shower, Buffy stood in her closet trying to decide what to wear. She didn’t want to dress sexy and give Riley the wrong idea, but on the other hand she had purposely asked him to pick her up at six because she knew Spike and Cordelia’s reservations weren’t until seven. Finally she decided on a modest black skirt that fell just above her knees and a lavender blouse, that was casual but fitted to accentuate her curves. After curling her hair and applying light make up, she put on her black strappy heals and paced back and forth across her room.

When she heard the doorbell ring she tried to rush to the door to answer it but Spike was right there already opening it. “You’re not supposed to seem so anxious” Cordelia whispered in her ear “you have to learn to play the game and make them chase you.”

Buffy couldn’t help but feel annoyed that she would have the nerve to try to give her relationship advice, but she was too engrossed by the two men at the door to bother to answer. “Riley hi” Buffy beamed nearly shoving Spike out of the way.

“Gosh Buffy you look real pretty” Riley smiled.

Buffy could feel Spike’s eye’s on her, but refused to meet his gaze. “I was just saying we probably wouldn’t be out too late.” Riley said seriously.

“Oh nonsense it’s summer, have fun” Cordelia instructed.

Buffy smiled and turned directly to Spike “Great, then don’t wait up” she said and pulled Riley out the door.

An hour later Buffy was bored to tears. Riley was nice and all but he was just so polite and serious. Every time she joked around or made a sarcastic remark, he just looked at her like she was reciting the dictionary. Towards the end of dinner he took Buffy’s hand “Hey there is a new club in town called The Crypt, Xander said it was fun do you want to try it out?”

Uh-oh here it comes Buffy thought. “Well I cant Riley, I’m not old enough to get in” she smiled shyly.

“Oh it’s not a twenty one and older club, you just have to be eighteen to get in.” he informed her.

“I know, I guess we never discussed my age. I’m sixteen Riley” Buffy confessed.

Riley’s eyes grew a big as saucers “Oh wow I never thought to ask, you really don’t look sixteen.”

“I’m sorry Riley I guess I should have told you.” Buffy actually felt bad.

Riley squeezed her hand “Don’t feel bad Buffy, I’m only twenty. You are very mature for your age. I would still like to spend time with you while I’m in town. If you want to spend time with me that is,” Riley smiled.

“Sure Riley” as friends Buffy added to herself.


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


Pacing back and forth across the pool deck Spike couldn’t help but wonder what the hell was wrong with him? He should be upstairs fucking his wife silly, instead he had complained about being tired and had been down here pacing waiting for Buffy to get home for nearly three hours. He couldn’t get the images of that big oaf clumsily fumbling with his Buffy in the back seat of his car. Tosser probably couldn’t find a clit if he had a map not that Spike wanted him to even try to find it. Letting out a primal roar he lit a cigarette and opened another beer. He had to stop thinking like that, she was not his. It was over! It had to be.

Pulling up to the mansion, Buffy was so relieved to finally be home. Riley had insisted they take a drive and talk. Instead Buffy had fallen asleep. Now she couldn’t wait just to crawl in her bed. After rushing over to open her door, Riley insisted on walking her all the way to the door.
“Well I had a really nice time tonight,” Buffy lied.

“So did I Buffy, I feel like I really can talk to you”
Buffy would have laughed out loud at that statement if he hadn’t immediately grabbed her started kissing her. When she gasped he took it as an invitation to shoved his thick tongue in her mouth. She was just about to push him away when the front door opened “Just what the fuck do you think you’re doin?” Buffy looked up to meet Spikes furious eyes.
