Chapter Eight: A Reward

~*~*~*~

She didn’t remember who hit her yet. It was a blur to Buffy, but she had mentioned Riley threatening her that night.

A week has passed since Buffy had woken up and she smiled every time she did awaken. She had begun to stand up from her bed and walk around the room, although she wobbled around like a toddler learning how to walk because of weak strength. Doctor Gunn had mentioned that it would be hard for her to walk so soon, but she would be like new in a few months.

Just as she walked to the window, she wobbled, causing her to trip backwards. Spike quietly sprang toward her, catching her in mid-air. She giggled, watching the blonde’s expression every time she tripped. His cheekbones sharpen as he grinded his teeth together and then couldn’t help but smile at the woman in his arms.

“Sometimes I wonder if this is a dream,” he whispered as he sat her down on the hospital bed. Buffy licked her lips in confusion; her eyes never leaving his as he sat down.

“What do you mean?” Spike mellifluously glided his hand over her cheek, triggering the unusual shivers down her back.

“I wonder if being here with you is a dream, or a gift Cordelia left me here on Earth,” he answered inaudibly, and leaned in to capture her lips with his. As they parted, Buffy couldn’t help but smile with a shimmer of tears swaying down her cheeks. Spike cleared the tears with a single slither of his thumb.

“You are such a wonderful person, Spike…” Buffy breathed out and leaned her head on his shoulder. Spike gently rubbed his head on the back of her head, savoring the moment as much as possible. He kissed her forehead devotedly, wrapping his arms around her in a passionate embrace.

“Spike…” Buffy whispered as she sat up, staring into his dark cerulean eyes.

“What is it?” he leisurely tucked a strand of her dirty blonde hair behind her ear.

“I’ve been wanting to tell you this for a while, but the moments haven’t been that great and all,” she calmly stated, breathing out a laugh. “I think I’m falling for you…”

Spike’s jaw dropped… he knew that this moment would come at any moment. He craved it for a long time. He stared at her for what seemed a couple of minutes without mentioning anything. He cupped her cheek, a smile curving rapidly on his lips.

“I’ve waited for this moment to come,” he thought out loud, resting his forehead against hers. “I never thought that I would get over what happened, but you helped me. I love Cordelia… but I’ve fallen in love with you.”

“I love you, Spike… I love you so much…” Buffy returned the smile, wrapping her arms around him as tears sprang from her eyes.

“I love you, too Buffy… I love you since the moment I saw you,” he whispered in her ear, and parted from her, gazing down into her emerald orbs.

“Promise me that you won’t ever leave…you’re much more valuable to me than anything in this world…” she whispered, resting her head against his chest as she glued herself to Spike like it was her lifeline.

“I promise…” he breathed out and tightened his grip. Buffy lifted her head, smiling widely as she parted from the blonde.

“Does this consider us a couple?” she asked timidly, a slight shade of red covering her cheeks. Spike nodded as he took her hand in his.

“Yeah, I think it does…” he answered as he leaned in, brushing his lips against hers.

Little did they know that Riley was standing at the door, listening to their conversation. He swiftly turned around and walked out of the hospital, knocking someone to the ground in the process.

As the two parted from their kiss, Buffy suddenly widened her eyes as a memory came to her.

“What’s wrong, Buffy?” Spike asked, concern drifting in his voice.

“I just remembered who hit me.”
