Only Time


Buffy woke up and felt completely safe and sound in Spike's loving arms. Then she realized exactly what she had done. She had slept with Spike.
"Mmmmhhh..." He moaned beside her.
"Oh my God." She mumbled and started to get dressed.
"Slayer....what's wrong?" Spike woke up.
"Spike...this....shouldn't have happened, I'm so sorry to drag you....hell....to drag me into this" Buffy said angrily.
"Bloody hell Buffy! Don't you ever make up your mind??" Spike yelled suddenly.
"You did this! If you hadn't attacked me then this never would have happened!!" Buffy yelled back.
"BUFFY! We made love! Don't you get it? You just don't do that with anyone!" Spike said getting pissed off.
"You're not anyone, you're a neutured vampire, and you don't even deserve for me to stake you" Buffy snapped.
Spike let out a growl and got up, gathering his clothes on. He stopped beforing heading out into the night.
"You know what Slayer. You're like they say, different, but not by meaning in the better way. You use people Buffy, you toy with their emotions and I won't see it happen to me luv, please, stay away from me until you know what you really want." Spike turned on his heel and Buffy watched him disapear.
"Wait.." She whispered, but he was gone.

Spike sat on his bed below the crypt and felt the tears well. He wanted so bad for Buffy to need him. He needed her to need him.

Who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time...

And who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time...

(interlude - no lyrics)

Buffy kicked at the punch bag and kept wiping the tears from her eyes. She wondered why she was trying not to feel for Spike. Why?

Who can say why your heart sighs,
As your love flies?
Only time...

And who can say why your heart cries,
When your love dies?
Only time...

Spike stared up at the stars from the roof of his crypt and remembered his night with Buffy earlier that night. She had touched him so lovingly.

Who can say when the roads meet,
That love might be,
In your heart.

And who can say when the day sleeps,
If the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart...

Buffy choose to wear a silky white shirt and black flairs. She pulled her hair up and made her way to the graveyard. To kill him, to make sure she would never feel this way again.

Who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time...

And who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time...

Spike looked up and saw Buffy on the roof as well. He almost smiled, but froze when he saw the stake in her hand.
"I'm going to make this stop Spike. I'm sorry, but I can't live like this." She raised the stake.
"Live like what?" Spike didn't back away, if she had a good reason not to be with him, he wanted to die.
"Spike, I don't want to be pushed away from my friends for falling in love with you. It's you or them." Buffy replied sadly.
Spike felt more tears, "Buffy, luv, you dont have to choose. Just give me a chance, I'll show the world to you right here and now."
The rain began to poor hard. A demon jumped onto Buffy, knocking her to the ground.
"Buffy!!" Spike jumped from the roof and watched the demon run away.
"Are you alright luv?" Spike kneeled beside her.
She looked absolutely terrifed. Spike pulled her against him and rocked her back and forth, the rain soaking them both.
"I won't hurt you Buffy, one chance luv, please." He whispered.
Buffy's lips touched his and he knew that they would be okay, but only time would tell.

Who knows?
Only time...

Who knows?
Only time...
