Author's Chapter Notes:
My first story in a long while. I've been gone for a period of time so bear with me I know this chapter isn't particularly long, but I thought I'd ease myself back into things. Hope you enjoy.
"Fucking bitch!" Spike yelled in frustration as he hurled his glass at the wall, making it shatter into a million tiny pieces.



He had just gotten back to Sunnyhell, and already the Slayer was mucking everything up for him. The stupid bint had actually had the nerve to almost laugh in his face when he ran into her at that frat party last week.



"Lose a bet my ass." The vampire growled, as he recalled Buffy's insult in regard to him dating Harmony.



Sad thing was, he had sent the blond vampire packing that night, and told her to hit the road. Didn't matter anyway, the idiot had already told the Slayer about the Gem of Amara. Now, Spike had to be extra careful. He knew Buffy would do everything in her power to stop him from getting his hands on the gem.



Exhaling slowly, he tried to calm himself, and decided to go for a walk. Maybe that way he would stop thinking about the woman that plagued his every thought recently.

Buffy was enjoying her patrol tonight. She'd been so busy and stressed with school that she hadn't really had a chance to decompress. She stopped for a moment to stretch and enjoy the cool night breeze, when she suddenly felt a presence behind her. In an instant she was facing the biggest pain in her ass and his trademark smirk.



"Out for a walk, are we, Slayer? Should be more careful ya know, this time of night, wouldn't want any nasties getting a taste of you, now would we?" he asked in a half teasing, half sarcastic tone.



"What's the matter, Spike? Harmony busy painting her nails or something?" she retorted with an inward grin, knowing it wouldn't take much to set the vampire off. That was the one thing she definitely loved about Spike... fighting him in any way, was never boring.



"Wouldn't know, pet. Haven't seen the bird in nearly a week. But enough talk about her. Haven't you missed me, luv? Come now, give us a kiss." Spike taunted as he extended his arms in an over the top fashion.



Buffy saw that he was trying to goad her, and refused to give in.



"Yeah... sorry, but I have about a million things that I have to go do right now like brush my hair and decide what I'll wear tomorrow." She replied in an uninterested tone.



"What could you possibly want to do more than me?" the vampire made his double meaning inescapably clear as he raised a scarred eyebrow and tucked his tongue behind his teeth.



"Spike, there isn't anything that I wouldn't rather do than you."



That seemed to be the thing that finally set the vampire off as Buffy realized she must have hit a nerve.



Withing an instant he was a breath away from her, staring her down.



"Is that right, Slayer?" he gazed at her with a deadly gleam in his eyes. "Well then, let's see what we can't do to change your mind about that."
