London Lovers

Chapter 1

Walking along the shops with her best friend, Buffy Summers couldn't help but feel that everything that had happened in the past two days were properly over, and shopping in the mall with Willow was definately helping. Pushing through the shopping crowd with her many bags she had got within the past hour and giggling with Willow about some embarassing situation she had gotten herself in, Buffy got a bit lost in what Willow was saying too much so she did not pay attention to where she was going. Suddenly she felt a hard chest go smack into her causing her to drop her bags and the contents to go falling out all over the floor.Buffy quickly bent down along with the other person to collect her bags.

Buffy: " i'm so sorry..i really wasnt paying attention to where i was going..." Buffy started to apologize.

Guy: " No problem pet..happens all the time.." The stranger spoke helping buffy to pick up her belongings and smiling genuinely. Buffy frowned not sure of what he meant. Realizing he just sounded like a complete idiot infront of her he chuckled nervously.
Guy: " i meant girls ..falling on me ..happens all the time..." He explained now looking at her n smiles nervously. " nevermind" he continued. Buffy however noticed this and smiled looking right back at him suddenly feeling herself getting lost in his blue eyes.

Buffy: " i should go..." remembering that Willow was waiting for her and gets up.

Guy: " right yes..you know i believe these are yours.." He said handing her some underwear that had fallen out of her bag when she hit him.

Buffy: " oh...right thanks.." she replied grabbing them and shoving them in the bag quickly feeling herself getting red. The stranger quickly gave her a smile and started to walk on, leaving Buffy to link arms with willow and walking off.

Willow: " wow now that guy is hot! and british!" Willow blurted getting excited. " go ask for his number because believe me the way he was looking at you im sure he would love to go out with you" She continued ignoring the weird look Buffy was giving her.

Buffy: " yea the only reason he was interested was because of the underwear i just brought ..probably only wants to get them off me" She replied remembering what had happened with Angel two days ago.

Willow: " Buffy you have got to forget what happened with Angel i know it hurts because he finished with yon the fact you wouldn;t sleep with him but not all guys are like that , some of them are genuine and he was definately one of them, he couldn't take his eyes off you" Willow explained to her saddened friend and stopped walking.

Willow: " wait here ok" She requested leaving Buffy at a bench with the bags before walking the opposite way to find the stranger. The stranger however was now walking towards Willow having pondered over whether he should go and talk to Buffy again, to find the blonde's friend coming towards him.

Willow: " hey ..im Willow and my friend that bumped into you is Buffy and i was wondering ...if i could give her your number?" The stranger smiled at this as that was what he was coming over for.

Spike: " yea sure im Spike...and that was actually what i was coming over for to give your beautiful friend my number" He replied handing his number over.

Willow: " right thanks " Willow smiled and ran back over to Buffy handing her the card.

Buffy: " What's this?" Buffy questioned wondering where her friend went off to.

Willow: " Its Spike's number that guy you bumped into" Willow answered turning away from her.

Buffy: " Willow!! ..oh no what am i supposed to do now? " Buffy asked panicking. Willow now turned back to her and answered.

Willow: " Just call him and don't tell me you don't want to i know you liked him by the way you kept staring into his eyes" At this point Buffy felt like killing her friend but decided that maybe Willow was right, she shouldn't not go out with a guy because of Angel, she shouldn't be punished for something he couldn't accept. Smiling Buffy then dragged her friend up to the food court.

Sitting down with their lunch, Willow kept on and on at Buffy trying to get her to text Spike and was really happy at how she set her friend up with someone who might actually be worth dating. With a final sigh Buffy gave in to Willows nags and got her phone out texting Spike.

Buffy: " hey its Buffy ...the girl that knocked into you earlier ..again sorry i just got one question why are you interested in me? " With one push of a button the text was sent along with a giggle from Willow. Waiting for a reply Buffy tucked into her chinese takeaway secretly thinking that their is no way that Spike is going to text back. Within 5 minutes she got her unexpected reply not even noticing how quickly she grabbed the phone and how desperate she must of looked to Willow who just smiled and asked what he had said. Buffy read out the text to Willow.

Buffy: " hey thats ok and why wouldnt i be interested in you , your beautiful any guy could see that" Smiling to herself Buffy started to think that maybe it wouldn't be so bad going out with this guy and went to send another text to start up a conversation. Looking over Buffy's shoulder Willow noticed Spike sitting a couple of tables behind them and smiled when she saw that he was looking in Buffy's direction. Getting up and out of his seat Spike headed over to their table and stood behind Buffy watching what she was typing in her text.

Spike: " No its got nothing to do with the underwear that you had brought yourself" he answered whispering in her ear making her jump in her seat. Looking over at him

Buffy: " if you say so" she said making Spike smile at her stubborness.

Spike: " so whos the lucky guy then?" He asked not being able to take his eyes off her.

Buffy: "no guy" She answered " its just a bit of retail therpy" Spike nodded as Willow joined in.

Willow: " she got dumped" Buffy shot her im going to kill you look before changing the subject.

Buffy: " so Spike ..you here alone?" She asked.

Spike: " no my girlfriend's just in the toliets" He joked. As he sat down and started up a conversation with Buffy, Willow decided to get up and leave them to it, neither Buffy or Spike noticed as they were too busy talking and never breaking eye contact.
