Teardrops On My Guitar by SpuffyGirl729

Buffy pulled away when oxygen became an issue. She kept her eyes closed as she leaned her forehead against Spikes. “That was amazing,” she whispered. “Yeah it was.”

Buffy let out a small giggle. “I meant the song!” Spike chuckled. “It’s your song.” he whispered as he brought his hands up to hold her face. Buffy finally looked up at him, her eyes were glistening with tears.

“Buffy, please forgive me. I love you so much. Nothing happened with her I swear. I need you baby. Please if you could just give me one more shot I’ll show yo...”

Spike was cut off when Buffy smashed her lips upon his. Spike returned the kiss eagerly, still holding onto her face for fear she might disappear. Spike broke the kiss and looked Buffy directly in the eyes. “I love you.”

Buffy smiled and said, “Good. Because I really love you.” Spike let out a sigh of relief and brought Buffy in for a tight hug.

“I’m sorry I wouldn’t listen to you,” Buffy said as she pulled away. Spike shook his head as he put a strand of hair behind her ear. “Shh. Don’t worry about it, kitten.”

Spike looked behind Buffy and chuckled when he saw all their friends staring at them with questioning stares. “Think we should get back to the Calvary pet. They look like they might burst of they don’t know what’s going on.” Buffy looked back and laughed.

They both walked back over to the group with smiles on their faces. When they reached the table Willow couldn’t contain herself any longer. “So??? Are you guys back??” she asked excitedly.

Buffy and Spike exchanged a smile before turning back to the group and nodding as Spike put his arm around Buffy’s shoulder. Everyone at the table cheered and smiled all except Angel.

He and Spike hadn’t spoken since the day he showed up at Spike’s house. Angel stood up and walked over to the couple. They both looked at him, unsure of what he was going to do. He looked Spike up and down then said, “You understand why I did what I did right?”

Spike nodded his head. “She’s my little sister,” Angel explained. Spike smiled. “I wouldn’t expect anything less. I’m sorry too,” Angel nodded with a little smile before they exchanged a brief, but very manly, hug.

Buffy watched the interaction between the two males and couldn’t help but smile. Her smile soon faded when she heard a familiar voice from behind her. “My Spike. I loved the song you wrote about me!” Buffy turned around sending death glares at Drusilla.

“That song wasn’t for you,” Spike stated as he took Buffy’s hand. “It was for Buffy.”

Buffy gave the brunette a smug smile as she latched onto Spike’s arm. Drusilla looked between the two and smiled. “My Spike knows he doesn’t belong with sunshine, he belongs in the dark, with me.”

As she spoke, she raised her hand to caress his cheek. But before she could make contact Buffy stood in front of her blocking any attempt. “Don’t even THINK of touching my boyfriend!” Buffy stated angrily.

Drusilla smirked and said, “ And what are you going to do about it princess?”

Buffy looked at her, shrugged her shoulders, then swung back her fist, and punched Drusilla right in her nose. Spike’s eyes went wide in shock as he watched Drusilla fall to the ground clutching her nose. Everyone around them crowed around and stared in shock as Spike started to laugh. He brought Buffy’s right hand up and kissed it while Drusilla watched.

“Stay the hell away from me, stay the hell away from my friends, and stay the hell away from boyfriend!! Or I will kick your fucking ass!!!” Buffy screamed. Everyone around them cheered and clapped as Drusilla stood up, clutching her nose and ran out of the Bronze.

“Stay away from my boyfriend.. Bam! Bitch goes down!” Darla exclaimed as she punched a pillow. “Bam!! Buffy super bitch!” Everyone laughed at Darla’s actions. They were all back at Buffy and Angel’s house getting ready to watch a movie. “How’s your hand?” Willow asked.

Buffy lifted up her hand to inspect it. She shrugged and said, “It’s starting to bruise a little and it's still sore, but it's ok.”As she spoke, Spike then picked up her hand and kissed it again. Buffy looked back at him, smiled, and gave him a kiss.

Spike was sitting on the floor with his back leaning against the couch with Buffy in between his legs. She snuggled closer to him as Angel turned the lights off and the movie began. Buffy closed her eyes and smiled as she felt Spike begin to kiss her neck. “I really missed you pet.”

Buffy snuggled closer and squeezed his arms. “I missed you too.”

Buffy looked out the window as she rode with Spike in his car towards the beach. The radio played softly as she watched the scenes of outside pass by. She brushed a piece of hair away from her face as it blew in the wind.

Buffy looked at Spike when she felt him squeeze her hand. Their fingers were intertwined and she couldn’t help but notice how perfect it all felt. Spike gave her a smile which she returned before looking back out the window. Buffy listened as a love song played on the radio. A thought sprang to her head as she turned the radio down.

Spike looked at her confused. “Something wrong baby?”

“No, I was just thinking,” Buffy stated. “About?” Spike asked as he glanced at her before looking back at the road.

“We don’t have a song,” Buffy said with a pout. Spike smiled. “Baby our song is every song out there! No wait, there isn’t a song out there worthy enough to be our song!” “But I want one!” Buffy whined. “Look at that lip!” Spike exclaimed. Buffy giggled and looked down to hide her blush.

“I’m serious Spike! We need a song!” Spike chuckled and nodded his head. “Ok, ok! How about we go back to your house and I’ll slam the screen door a couple times and we can make that into our song!” Buffy playfully slapped him on the shoulder and turned back in her seat. “You’re a loser!” Spike laughed and shook his head.

After a couple more minutes of staring out the window a smile crept onto Buffy’s face. She let go of Spike’s hand as she went into the glove compartment to grab a pen and a napkin. Spike smiled when he saw she was writing.

“So are you going to tell me what song you’re singing tonight?” Spike asked as he and his girlfriend slow danced on the dance floor. Buffy smiled, bit her lip and shook her head. Spike let out a groan and put his head back.

“You know, it’s not good to keep secrets pet. Especially from me!” Buffy laughed.

“You’ll hear it soon enough!!” Buffy exclaimed. Spike smiled and leaned in to give his girlfriend a kiss.

“Now it’s time to start off our Karaoke Night! Our first singer tonight has become a local favorite, everyone put your hands together for Buffy Summers!!!”

“Gotta go!” Buffy said as she gave Spike one last kiss before rushing to the stage. Spike stood there as his friends approached him. “So, she tell you what she’s singing yet?” Xander asked as he held Cordelia close. Spike shook his head. “No,” he explained as the music started. “But I bet it’s great.”

Buffy grabbed the micro phone and smiled into the crowd. As the music started to play she swayed her hips to the music, locked eyes with Spike and started to sing.

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says baby is something wrong?
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song
And he says...

Our song is the slamming screen doors,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real low
'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again


***

A huge smiled formed on Spike’s face as he listened to the lyrics Buffy wrote. He laughed and clapped cheering his girlfriend on as she moved around the stage, singing, dancing, and looking beautiful.

***

I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day
Had gone all wrong and been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said...

Our song is the slamming screen doors,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real low
'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again

***

Buffy danced around as the crowd cheered. She looked over at Spike who was smiling and clapping. ‘I love you’ she saw him mouth. Buffy’s smile grew bigger as she brought the micro phone up to start singing again.

***

I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song...
Cause

Our song is the slamming screen doors,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real low
'cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date "man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again

***

The crowd cheered and clapped as Buffy thanked them and walked off stage. She walked up to her friends who were clapping and smiling. Spike wrapped his arms around her waist as she asked, “So? What did you think of our song?” Spike smiled and brought her close. “It’s perfect.”

Buffy smiled and kissed his lips. “I love you,” she whispered. Spike smiled, he couldn’t imagine being any happier. “I love you too.”
