Chapter 3-

Spike fell asleep as soon as the plane left the airport. He was exhausted. He began dreaming about his angel once again. Same dream as before, but this time, he got a little closer to making love to her. He unknowingly began to stroke himself and a little moan escaped his mouth, all the while he was sitting in first class. The flight attendant had gone over to Spike, tapped him on the shoulder lightly, and just about the time he slide into Buffy, he was awaken by, “Sir, please keep it down.”

“Huh? What?” He asked half asleep and dazed.

“Sir, please, would you kindly stop what you’re doing.” Spike looked down, as his erection bulging. “Oh!” He quickly realized. “I’m so sorry.”

“It’s quite alright,” She blushed. “Please be careful next time.”

“S’pose I shouldn’t be doing that in a public place.” He chuckled, with embarrassment.

“Would you like anything?” She asked, changing the subject.

“A spot of tea would be nice and possibly a sandwich if ya have it.”

“I’ll be right back sir.” She walked away with a smile plastered on her face. She returned with a tray and his tea. She’d brought him chicken, salad, and a vegetable.

“I only asked for a sandwich, but thank you.”

“You’re welcome Mr. Preston.” She smiled and walked away.

As Spike was eating, he began to wonder what their meeting would be like. He hadn’t seen her in five years, and hoped that she was a beautiful as that day. He wondered if she’d remember him, or even care to remember him. And when he was finished, he began to think of the song ‘Everything’ by Lifehouse.

/ /you're all I want, you're all I need
you're everything, everything//

The words he thought of over and over again. That was exactly what he wanted to tell her. The way he felt about her all the time. He just hoped he could say it.

The flight attendant took the tray away when he was finished. Soon the plane was at JFK landing. He was nervous, but it was well worth it. He departed the plane when it was time; he picked up his luggage, and headed out to the car that had been waiting for him. The driver was going to take him back to his place, but he told him to go to the Summers’ Bookstore on 3rd avenue.

Before Spike knew it, the driver had pulled up in front of the bookstore. He hesitated a few minutes and then got out of the car.

“Stay here.”

“Yes, sir.”

Spike opened the door to the car, and stepped out as a brunette young lady opened the door to the bookstore. She looked familiar to him, but figured she had one of those faces. He shut the car door and entered into the bookstore. Spike looked around. It hadn’t changed at all since the last time he was there.

No Buffy yet.

The girl that he saw walk in was behind the counter and he overheard them speaking.

“I thought maybe he’d show up here, so I left work early to see what would happen.” Dawn told Willow.

“I’m excited for her. I can’t wait to see what Spike looks like after all these years.”

Well, well, the chits are talking about me.
He stepped up to the counter. “I’m here to see Ms. Summers. Is she available?”

Dawn recognized him right away. She started elbowing Willow. “Dawn, stop, what is it—“

“It’s him,” She whispered. “It’s William.”

Willow sat straight up. “Oh...OH!” She quickly realized.

Spike chuckled and asked, “Is she here?”

Xander recognized that voice; he stepped out and said sarcastically, “Oh, it’s Mr. Preston.”

“Xander,” Willow chided him.

“I’ll get Buffy.” He walked away.

“What’s up with the whelp? Jealous much?”

“No. No. He’s just worried about Buffy. That’s all. She’s been in some bad relationships recently, and he just wants to make sure you’re not going to hurt her.” Dawn replied. “That’s all!”

“I’m not gonna hurt her. I’m not like those guys.” He said sincerely.

“I know, but he’s just like our big brother.” Willow said. “He’s got a big heart. He just wants to make sure we’re all gonna be happy.”

Xander knocked on Buffy’s office door.

“Yeah?” She answered.

“Can I come in?”

“Sure.” Xander opened the door and sat down and sighed deeply.

“What is it?? Anya, Cordelia, or Fred?”

“No, they’re fine, and I’m not dating Cordelia or Fred anymore. I dumped them a few weeks ago. I’m in love with Anya anyway.” He beamed with happiness.

“Well good. When ya gonna pop the ole question?” Buffy jokingly asked.

“Oh, I dunno know...Hey, when did this become about me?”

Buffy gave Xander a questioning look. “Was it supposed to be about me?”

“Yes, he’s...he’s...here!” Xander finally said not so enthused.

“HE’S WHAT?” Buffy kicked the chair out from behind her, as she rose to her feet. “I’m not ready. No. I’m not ready. Tell him to go away.” Buffy began to freak out, pacing back and forth. Xander couldn’t help but laugh at his friend.

“Buffy, I’m sure he’s tired. He’s had a long trip. Just go out there, say hi, or whatever, kick him out preferably.”

“Xander!”

“What?”

She walked out to the hallway. Checked herself over to make sure she looked good, and proceeded out into the front room. Xander followed.

There he was, beautiful as ever. She took a few deep sighs before walking towards him.

“HI!” She says entering the front room.

“Hi, yourself, beautiful!”

Buffy couldn’t help but blush. She couldn’t bear to look into his eyes right then. She knew she’d be mush looking into his blue eyes. She looked everywhere else, before he tilted her chin up, to look into her eyes.

“Hi!” Buffy looked into his blue eyes, felling like mush. Oh my god. He looks so good. Oh, I wish we weren’t so far apart. It was hard on me. I had bad relationships. I kept comparing them to you, my dream guy. My Angel. My Blonde god. I finally have you here, and I don’t want to let you go. Not ever!! I love you!

“Hi!” He smiles as he holds her hands, looking into her eyes.
She looks even better than I had always imagined. She looks just as good in white as she does in all black. I finally have you in within my grasp, and I don’t ever want to let you go. My Angel. You don’t know what I went through not having you in my life. I don’t want to let you go, not ever! I love you!

No words where needed. Everything that they wanted to say, they said it with their eyes. Just then a young brown haired man, wearing a flashy suit, walked into the bookstore, oblivious to the couple in the center of the room. They were also oblivious to the flashy man walking by them.

“Hello ladies...Have I got a story to tell you!” He says gesturing with his hands.

“LORNE!” Willow gritted her teeth.

“Huh? What? What did I do?” He asked confused, walking over to Willow, Dawn and Xander. “What’d I do?” He whispered.

“Look.” Willow pointed.

“Oh,” He whispered as he looked over at Buffy and Spike. “It’s the guy...aww!”

“YES, now shush you!” Dawn chided as she pointed at Lorne like a teacher telling her student to behave.

“Yes ma’am!” He said as they watched on.

A few moments had passed and Spike began to get the feeling they were being watched. He looked around the room at the whisperers. Buffy never once took her eyes off of him. Spike, then turned back at Buffy. “I think we’ve got an audience. Whatddya say we go some where a little more private?”

“Where do you have in mind?” She asked with a raised eye brow. Not once looking over at the peeping toms.

“How about my place?”

“Sounds good to me!” They turned and left the store, not once looking back. The door closed behind them.

Xander left the front room, obviously pissed at Spike. It wasn’t that he was jealous, he just didn’t trust him. He knew guys like that, guys that are only after one thing, sex. Buffy already had that with Parker, and he didn’t want to see her go through that again. Dawn was ecstatic. She was so happy that her sister finally got to be with the man that she had so much longed for. Willow was just as happy! It even gave her the courage to call Tara, and ask her out, but before she could do that, Lorne jumped right into his story. “So, anyway, I was working today, and this couple came into have a reading done on them, and it turned out that the girl was actually guy.”

“What? The boyfriend didn’t even know that his girlfriend was a guy?” Dawn asked incredulously.

“Well, apparently not!” He chuckled.

“So what happened?” Willow prodded him to continue.

“When I was doing the reading, I stopped. I hesitated at saying anything. The boyfriend asked me what the problem was. I didn’t know if I should make something up, but the girl looked at me, and read me like book. She knew what it was. As I was ready to break it to him, gently of course, she put her hand up to stop me.”

“And?” Dawn said, impatiently.

“And, she took off her wig...and...and,” He started laughing, “She took of her clothes to reveal herself.”

“Oh my god!” Willow whispered.

“Tell me about it. The boyfriend looked to me, very shocked...As he got up, he kicked the chair. It went flying out the window. Glass shattered all over the place.”

“Wow, what a day Lorne!” Dawn exclaimed.

“You don’t know the half of it...The boyfriend looked back at his girl-boyfriend, and said, ‘How can you do this to me? We were going to get married. I loved you, but don’t expect me to turn gay for you!’ Then she said, ‘I’m getting the surgery done in a few weeks. Please don’t leave me. You’re everything to me. You’re all I want. You’re all I need. Please, you’re everything to me.’”

“Then what happened?” Dawn asked curiously.

“He kissed him.” Lorne said matter-of-factly.

“Aww that’s a sweet story,” Willow gushed.

“Yeah, I guess true love seems to be in the air.” Lorne agreed.

“Hey, I thought you said this happened today? Why didn’t I see the glass when I came in?” Dawn wondered.

“It did. It happened this morning. I’ve been busy all day long. The glass repairers came with new glass and the lettering was added this afternoon.” Lorne stated.

“How did you get it to happen so fast?” Willow asked.

“Honey”, He drawled. “I know people that know people that know people!” He smiled as he looked down at his watch. “Oh, boy, I had better get back.” He started for the door and turned before going out the door. “Dinner. Tonight. My. Place. I won’t take no for an answer.” He walked out of the door before the girls could even answer.

“He always does that.” Dawn grimaced.

“Yeah, that’s Lorne for you.” Willow joked.
