Finding True Love
Rating: R
Summary: Spike has traveled around the world with his band (Children of the Night.) He has gone to beautiful places with his acting jobs. He still feels like he is missing something. He thinks WHAT ABOUT LOVE and someone to be with him for who he is and not his stardom. Buffy grew up in a small town in Texas. Where there not many things teens like to do. Just lots of cows and dirt are there to. She works at a 24-hour gas and go station. The nearest town is 20 miles away, so it's not like she can go to the mall that's an hour away to see a movie or hang out. Therefore, she buys the movies she wants to see instead of going to the movies. While driving to a concert, Spike's car breaks down. He walks to the store where Buffy works at to use the phone.

Chapter 1
A plane lands at DFW airport in Dallas, Texas. It's hot and there were no people in the terminal. Spike was so tired, all he wanted to do was sleep for a week, but he knew it was impossible. Wesley, Spike's manger informs him by his cell phone that the next gig is in three days in Houston some three hundred miles south of Dallas. He decides to drive down there so he can have some time to himself and drive at his own pace. He thinks (I been around the world and back but I can't find one thing to enjoy. With all the gigs and acting jobs, I'm never home long enough to have a relationship with anyone. Yet girls throw themselves at me all the time and I have more money than Donald Trump. So why am I not happy?) He thinks. Therefore, he rents a car and starts the trip to Houston in the early morning.
Buffy is a girl who grew up in a small town in Texas, where they don't have movie theaters or malls. All they have are cows and lots of dirt, oh yeah they have lots of gossip too. She works in a 24-hour gas and go station along interstate 45. God, the nearest town is twenty miles away. However, that town only has supermarkets and Wal-Mart, no place to go for entertainment. If you wanted some fun you have to go all the way into Waco, and that is more than hour away.
***********************************************************************
Spike is driving a long making good progress. He should make it in time so he can get a full days rest before he has to go on stage. His thoughts are only on the music, so when his car starts to die he doesn't notice. He is to busy singing (Rock of Ages) when the car just stops. He starts to yell at anything that with in a 10-mile radius as pulls off the highway. He yells and kicks the car as if it can hear him rant and rave. He reaches for his cell phone but it's dead. Looking around he sees a small store a cross the highway, so he goes towards it saying, "Maybe they will let me use their phone since mine is dead to call for help. Note to self remember to always charge up the phone before leaving" Spike says to himself.
When he walks up to the store, he sees a bus and many people sitting down in front of the store. Others are coming and going in cars and such. As he goes into the place, he starts to notice that people are staring and whispering about the way he's dressed. As he walks by, he smiles and continues to walk into the store. Once inside he sees the woman behind the counter. He sees a beautiful girl behind it. All of a sudden, he feels a tightening in his pants. Trying to ignore the feeling in his pants he starts to yell as he approaches the counter. "Where is the bloody phone in this place? I need to call for help with my car." He thinks that the entire store full of people is stupid." He gets up to her at the counter and reads the persons her nametag. It says Buffy (Who would name their kid Buffy? They must have really hated her.) He thinks to himself. She ignores him and keeps cashing out people.
He decides to become a pain, so she will pay attention to him. She finally says to know one special. "If you are talking to me then you need to stop being a pain or you can leave." as she continues to work. He thinks (How dare her, does she not know who I am?) When all the customers have left to go where ever they go. She turns to him and tells him "I know who you are and I don't give a damn, if you are the freaking King of England. NO ONE WALKS IN HERE AND YELLS AT ME TO DO THEIR BIDDING" she tells him in a stern voice. He is totally blown away by her canter and the way her voice monks him. She looks at him with disgust on her face.
"If you are so worried about your car there's a pay phone in the back. But of course that is too good for a famous singer/actor like you, right?" He just stares at her and tilts his head to the side. He looks at her with some amusement and wonder.
"Sweetheart I just want to use the bloody phone, my phone is dead." As he pulls his phone out of his pocket to show her he comes closer to where she stands. "My rental car broke down across the highway and up a little bit. If you are so much against the idea of me using your phone then call me a bloody tow truck yourself. Then I can get out of your way before I have to wring your pretty little neck." She thinks he thinks my neck is pretty wow. Spike watches her as she listens to what he is saying wondering what she will do next. Oddly, he astonished by her reaction to him. Buffy starts to laugh at his flaring temper.
"So it is true you do have a wicked temper. Why I am soooo scared of you now. I guess I'll just have to take you home with me it being: now how did you say it? Oh yeah, with it being bloody three in the morning. Are you stupid? Or maybe it's all those drugs you taken or maybe it's the drinking you do that have rotted your brain?"
Spike is so mad he is having trouble thinking straight, so he walks outside for a fag. When his temper is under control, he goes back inside and asks, "Are you going to call that tow truck?" Buffy looks up to meet his eyes "Nope"
Now he is seeing red "Are you telling me you will not call me a tow truck?" Spike growls at her.
She just laughs, "Is your hearing going too. If I call Xander, the person with the tow truck, this early he will serve me to his cows for breakfast. Just wait ten little minutes and I will take you to my house until later in the morning so you can call him. I don't live in a big mansion but I call it home, if you want to stay for a couple of hours." Spike finally calms downs enough to see that she just trying to help him. He notices that people are looking at him with funny looks and commenting that some people think that they are so special that good manners don't apply to them. He gives them dirty looks as they pass by him and let them continue talking. Then he sees Buffy, at least he thinks that's what the badge said her name was, trying to get his attention.
Spike walks to her and she whispers, "Just come to my house I'm not one of those crazy fan of yours, so you don't have to worry. Then later I will make sure you get your car fixed first thing tomorrow. People here don't like strangers in this town; I know I grew-up here." He steps away getting the message, just don't act superior to the customers. After that little talk he had with Buffy, he talks to gents and flints with the women. They seem to relax around him finally.
Later, Buffy calls Spike to come on over her shift is over and she wants to leave. As Buffy is walking to her old beaten up car she looks around making sure, no one can hear her.
"Are you crazy? You can't walk into a small town store yelling at all the people around you, giving them orders as if they are one of your personal staff. I know you were mad about your car but that is no reason to act the way you did. You needed to use some grace in this town. I know that you aren't the big bad you portray, but they don't. All they see is the image you give off; I am the big bad rock star.
Spike says, "How do you know that this all on the outside? You never know I might just be the Big Bad and all that rot." As Spike is walking to her car in the parking lot, he sees an ugly rusty car. "This is your car. Do you think it can have more dents in it?" he jokes.
She just tells him please get in the car so they can talk in private. Once in the car, she picks up her cell phone and speed dials her friend Xander.
Ring..Ring...Ring "Hello" Xander answers.
"Get your lazy ass up to the store there's a car up the road from it that needs to be fixed," she says to him.
"Can't this wait until later in the morning? Ok, I going don't get your panties in a knot. What kind of car is it, do you know the make and model," he asks.
"I don't know. What kind of car is it Spike?" He tells her that it's a small red car. That's all he noticed when he rented it.
"It's red and parked up the highway from the store is all I know; it's also a smaller make of car." Buffy tells him. Xander wines about the time and it looking like rain, so she tells him. "Look you get up there and fix it or I will come tell Willow what they called you in preschool."
She turns so she can see him out the corner of her eye while talking to Xander, she finally says to Spike, "He'll fix your car real quick for you that I can promise you" as she put down her phone. Spike is amazed that she treats him like she known him all her life.
"Do you really know who I am Pet?" he asked. She looks out the corner of her eye and smiles. "Yeah I know who you are, but you are just a person aren't you. I mean so what if girls cum in their pants when you talk and sing, you still get up and have to live a life just like the rest of us right" Buffy says. "Just because you are a big star doesn't make you different then me."
Spike thinks (maybe this is the one who don't care that my name is, Spike actor/singer and will see William Marsters.) He says "Bloody hell woman were do you live we been on this road for what seems like forever."
Buffy takes a big deep breath and lets it out. "Look if you will shut up we could be there by now, but no big bad William Marsters thinks he can order up a car to take him anywhere. Shut the hell up before I put you out right here." She says as her temper gets the best of her.
"You wouldn't do that pet, would you?" Spike looks wide eyed at her. He can't tell if she is kidding or not but he shut up.
"No it's not in my nature to be cruel to the animals around. They are poor defense animals I couldn't do that to them." She points to a dirt road that leads to a small house. "See that small house right off the dirt road?"
"Yeah, what does that have to do with me, is it something important or special" Spikes sighs.
"Well that's been where I have lived for a couple of years now and were you will be staying for the night." Buffy explains.
Spike looks at the small house with pity in his eyes; it was so broken down and so ugly that he couldn't see anyone living there. "You're joking right? You can't live there; it's so small and run down. Are you really sure you live there?"
"Why, do you say that because the house looks bad or is it just not a mansion?"
"No it just looks so run down and I don't think anyone should have to live like that." He says knowing that he has hurt feelings.
