The Following Friday Night……..


“And due to my financial prowess with money, Xander and I are finally looking into buying a house. We’re going to look in Newton , Cambridge , Brookline and maybe Brighton . Due to Xander’s remarkable ability in the realm of construction and my decorating sense, our house will be a sight to behold.” Anya explained to the table

“Are you waiting for before or after the wedding?” Willow asked

“We are going to start looking now, if we find something…. then before, but if not we’ll wait until after the wedding in January. My lease on my apartment runs out in February so we still have plenty of time to look. Sounds like a plan Buffy?” Anya asked her friend who seemed to be not mentally there at the moment. Buffy didn’t respond to Anya until she loudly announced

“Hey Spike…..we’re over here!” as she waved towards the door

“Uhhh….where…..where’s Spike?” Buffy questioned as she seemed to snap out of her daze and quickly looked towards the place where Anya waved. After Buffy realized that Spike was not there and that Anya had tricked her, she turned and stated to her friend

“So not nice Anya.” Buffy said with a pout

“Well, I had no choice! I’m having a conversation about two out of my three favorite subjects, Xander and money, and you’re not listening. I have to resort to trickery!” Anya declared

“Sorry…..I’m just caught up in my own head.” Buffy apologized as she moved the boneless hot wings around her plate with her fork. Anya’s eyes widened as she looked at Buffy. A large smile erupted from her lips then she spoke

“I’m soooo stupid! How I didn’t see it before is beyond me!” Anya announced

“Uhhhh?” Buffy questioned her now extremely animated friend

“YOU SLUT! You slept with him…..didn’t you?” Anya yelled. Most of the regulars weren’t phased by Anya’s outburst, but some of the new patrons slightly jumped from it and stared at Anya. Then their gaze went to Buffy whom Anya voice addressed.

“No…..no……okay yeah…..but there was little sleeping going on.” Buffy stated as a large smile beamed from her lips and her skin flushed with the thoughts of Spike and what had transpired on Tuesday night and all day Wednesday. Anya quickly asked another question on the heels of Buffy’s disclosure

“Was it Tuesday night?”

“Yeah….. The first time….as well as the second, was Tuesday night and then there was twice early Wednesday morning. Oh…and I definitely can’t forget twice later on that morning before my attempts as breakfast. Don’t ask. Then there were several times after we came back from brunch and food shopping…….”

“Easy girl…..details later just the basic facts now!” Anya affirmed

“Ok….so the basic answer is yes….. the first time was Tuesday night after the Red Sox game.” Buffy confirmed. Anya smiled in triumphant and held her hand out towards Willow . The tips of her fingers waved back and forth in a ‘gimme’ motion. Willow pulled her wallet from her pocketbook and pulled several denominations of dollars bills, equaling about fifty bucks from it. She begrudgingly placed them into Anya’s eager hand. Anya’s smile grew as she clenched her fist around the bills and then proceeded to count them.

“What the hell is this!” Buffy demanded

“What? It’s only a small wager amongst friends.” Anya responded as she counted

“Is there any other parts to this wager?” Buffy huffed

“Yeah…..sorry. But it was too good of a bet to pass up.” Willow explained

“Fine….fine. What are the other questions?” Buffy asked

“There are only two more…..where did this initial experience take place?” Anya asked in her best lawyer’s voice

“Do you need to know specifics like which rooms, surfaces etc.or is the general location sufficient?” Buffy inquired

“No specific info needed, well not yet anyways….general location is sufficient.” Anya retorted

“Alllll….. over my apartment.” Buffy announced with a giggle and brightly flushed cheeks. Willow placed her hand out to take back the money that she had just lost to Anya. Anya pouted as she placed the stack back into Willows extended hand.

“Anya…where did you think it was going to happen?” Buffy queried

“The way you were wiggling around in your chair last Friday night, somewhere on Landsdown Street or maybe at Fenway Park .” Anya explained

“Thanks Anya……I do have some self control.” Buffy huffed

“No you don’t” Willow and Anya responded together, followed by their brief laughter.

“You’re right……I don’t!” Buffy laughed along with her friends

“The last question…….who made the first move?” Anya asked. Buffy lowered her head and tried to cover her answer with a mock cough.

“What? May you repeat your answer ADA Summers?” Willow joked

“Fine! It was me! The moment we got into my apartment I jumped on him like a big hoe!” Buffy announced. Anya started to do a little dance in her seat as she held her hand back out to Willow. Willow mocked snarled at her friend as she added more money from her wallet to the pile that now was placed before her. Willow handed Anya the money with a rough “Here”. Anya started to fan her self with the money, now in which looked about a hundred bucks. Anya then placed a chaste kiss on the money before she started to count. Buffy’s eyebrows rose at the amount of money that exchanged hands.

“Double or nothing.” Willow explained with a sulk.

“It looks like Anya is treating tonight…..thanks to me and libido!” Buffy announced as she gave a slight salute with her rum and coke. Anya went to oppose, but Willow stopped her statement with a question of her own.

“So…..I know this sound like a question from the ‘Summer Nights’ song in Grease, but was he worth the wait?” Willow inquired

“In one word or less……” Buffy asked. Both Anya and Willow nodded as they awaited a response

“AMAZING” Buffy and Spike both replied at the same time. Their responses were simultaneous even though he was miles away at Willie’s

“You said that already man.” Clem retorted to his friend that sat next to him at the bar with the dreamy look on his face.

“Well….what else do you want me to say? I’m bloody not giving you details if that’s what you’re searching for.” Spike snapped

“No…..no….well yes….I was looking for details but since you’re so tight lipped I’m not going to push.” Clem mock pouted

“Good move mate.” Spike retorted

“So you finally made a move?” Clem asked

“No mate…..she did. And it was……”Spike responded until he was cut off by Clem’s voice

“Yeah…yeah amazing. Got that memo already.” Clem joked

“So she was more than a wam bam thank you mam, I take it?” Clem asked

“Ya…..most definitely more than that. Buffy is in a category all of her own. Even surpasses my ex Dru.” Spike explained

“Already….man she must be somethin’ special.” Clem responded, based on his knowledge of Spike’s ex, the relationship they had and how it ended.

“Very. That’s why I don’t want to rush anything. Even though I already told her that I love her.” Spike admitted as he shook his head in disbelief with his own actions.

“You what!?! What….did you let your William persona take over again? Don’t tell me that you said it during sex…..because that doesn’t count!” Clem asked with widen eyes

“No and No…..I didn’t get that poncy and it wasn’t during sex. Plus she didn’t hear me. I whispered it while she was walking away. I just couldn’t help myself……and….and….she said it first!” Spike tried to explain

“What?” Clem asked with even wider eyes, which appeared to be very cartoon like. Spike proceeded to tell Clem about the incident in the kitchen when Buffy tried to cook for them. As he spoke, Clem’s eyes started to take their original position in their sockets.

“Are you sure William didn’t take over? She didn’t mean that she ‘love’ loves you….you ass! It was just an expression. Why do I have to explain this to a lawyer who moonlights as Casanova?” Clem jested

“I know she didn’t mean it you pillock! It’s just my heart doesn’t always hear what my brain has to say. And believe me…..my willie doesn’t listen to either of them!” Spike said with a chuckle

“That’s the truth for every warm-blooded male! So how are going to proceed? Don’t tell me you’re going to rush in there with your heart on your sleeve?” Clem asked with concern

“No…..like I said I’m going to take it slow. I’m going to let her…..” Spike explained

“…set the pace of the relationship.” Both Spike and Buffy stated again at the same time, even though they were miles away from each other.

“Well, I think that’s the best. Men, even my Xander, get spooked with the idea of being in a long term relationship. Thank goodness he was hit with some sense about noticing a good thing when he sees it.” Anya agreed

“’Hit’ is the operative word. I still believe she placed some spell on him.” Willow chucked

“No, no spell and no abuse in this relationship. Well if you count the occasional spanking, biting and very minor hair pulling….” Anya explained

“La…la….la….la….not listening…..la….la…..” Willow sang as she stuck her fingers into her ears like a small child that doesn’t want to listen to someone. Anya gave an exaggerated eye roll then continued.

“Anyway…..let him set the pace, but you call the shots. From what you told me, Spike seems to like to be in control but enjoys a woman who gives him a run for his money.” Anya rationalized

“Anya if she wants to have this relationship go anywhere, she can’t play games. It just ends up causing problems that in the end might destroy the relationship.” Willow explained

“I’m not suggesting playing games. I’m just stating that Spike seems like the type who might lose interest if Buffy plays a mindless girl that lets a man call all the shots. Plus, Buffy playing Miss Submissive…..so not going to happen.” Anya retorted

“Right…..so here’s my plan, let him set the pace on how fast this relationship will progress, but make sure that I don’t become some Stepford Wife….Buffybot that will agree with whatever he says or does.” Buffy explained with a decisive head nod.

“And if speaking your thoughts don’t work…..use sex. I know that when I want something and Xander claims he’s adamant that I can’t have it, all I do is give him a blow job and…….” Anya tried to enlighten Buffy before Willow ’s sing-songy voice rang over hers

“La…la….la…..not listening…..la…la…la..”

“Oh… Willow stop it! Just because you don’t like penises anymore, doesn’t mean we all don’t like them!” Anya declared

“It’s not about not liking penis, it’s specifically Xander’s penis that I don’t want to hear about! I swear I should sue you for emotional distress or something!” Willow announced

“Sorry…..won’t stand in court. You have listened and participated in many conversations that one could believe to be offensive. Yet until Xander’s name was placed on said penis, you never had an issue.” Anya stated in her formal lawyer’s voice.

“She’s right Willow , would never stand in court. You’ll just have to keep la..la..la ing.” Buffy said with a sympathetic shrug

“Yeah….well it doesn’t mean I have to like it.” Willow pouted

“And that’s the reason why you like girls.” Anya responded in a cheeky manner

“I meant that…..oh never mind!” Willow stated with a flustered tone. Then she asked Buffy “So when do you see him next?”

“We are going to have a picnic on the Common and walk the last leg on the Freedom Trail tomorrow.” Buffy stated

“Well….I don’t mean to be a buzz kill….but I was actually talking about the next time you see him in court.” Willow hesitantly asked

“Shit…..I forgot all about that. Well I didn’t…. but I pushed that in the deep recesses of my mind. We have a Pre-trial Conference on Wednesday. Hopefully this won’t cause problems with our relationship. It’s so new…..I hope it can withstand this trial.” Buffy said with a deep sadness in her voice.

“Don’t worry…..it will all work out. Just have a long talk with him tomorrow and explain to him what you just said to us. I think he’ll understand and agree to let work be work and leave it at the office.” Willow stated with optimism. Buffy looked at Willow with a hopeful smile and stated as she lifted her glass

“Alright ladies…..let’s make a toast.” Both Anya and Willow followed suit

“To me and Spike!” Buffy cheered

“To Buffy and Spike!” the ladies retorted
