AN: This is a story my friend and I wrote during the final season of Buffy. The Point of veiw changes a lot. So try and keep up.

The sun felt warm on my skin. It bathed me. It made my blood boil. My eyes shut tight because they stung from so much sunlight. I fell to the floor and cried.

"Are you okay?"

"I don't know if I'll ever be okay!"

2 Weeks Earlier

I was sitting in the magic shop conversing with Anya about what the plans for the wedding were when he walked in the door. It was evening, so it didn't surprise me that he was here. I wanted to run up to him and kiss him, but we hadn't revealed our secret yet.

"What are you doing here?" Anya asked.

"Just passing through."

He looked at me with a knowing look, and I couldn't help smiling. I knew why he was giving me that look, but I didn't return it.

"Well then, I'll just pick up what I came for."

"What is that?" Anya asked.

"I want some bea sprouts. I have a pesty ghost that won't leave me alone!"

"I'll help you," I said before I knew it.

"Okay," Anya said hesitantly.

I got up from my stool and walked over to where we kept the bea sprouts. Naturally, he followed me there. I could feel his eyes wondering over my body. I turned and stared him in the eyes. His hand glided over my shoulder down to my thigh.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome," I said quietly, quickly diverting my gaze from his.

"So are we really going to get rid of ghosties?"

"Only if you want luv, 'cuz I know there are other things we can use these bea sprouts for," he grinned and had a suggestive look on his face

I blushed and pushed him out of the way and started to go towards the door.

"Hey Buffy!" Dawn and Willow had just walked into the magic shop.

"Hey Dawn, Will. What are you guys doing?"

"Oh, we're going to the movies, do you want to come along?" Dawn said.

I looked over to where he was standing, looking at me with a look that said "do-you-really-want-to-go-to-the-movies?"

"Uh, I was going to help Spike get rid of a ghost."

"Oh, can I help?"

"No!" I shouted. "What I mean is, that ghosts are scary and dangerous. I think that this particular ghost is a job for just me and Spike." I said rather quickly. Spike gave me this look that said "Good job," but at the same time said "I want you." It was a look that I gladly gave back.

"Buffy," Willow started. "Ghosts really aren't that hard to take care of. I'm sure Spike doesn't even need your help. He's a vampire, he can surly get rid of a ghost."

"Not this one," he spoke up. "This one is a bloody nuisance. The slayer is definitely needed to take care of his..his..his…"

"His extra bloodiness," I finished quickly.

"Whose extra bloodiness?" Xander said as he came up from the basement with two boxes.

"Spike has a ghost, and he needs Buffy to help him get rid of it." Willow said.

"Oh, does Spikie need a girl to take care of his problems for him?" Xander said in his usual teasing way.

"No, who said that I needed the slayer. She volunteered." And with that he walked out the door.

"So are you really going to help him or come to the movies with us?" Dawn asked.

"I'm going to help him." I said confidently.

Dawn and Willow looked at the clock and realized that they were going to be late for the movie.

"Well, we'll see you later then.'' With that, Willow and Dawn left.

I walked out the door and noticed that Spike was standing against the wall.

"I knew you would come out here, luv," he said swaggering over to me.

"I know I shouldn't, but I just can't resist your charms," I said as he put his arms around me.

"Well then, let's go take care of that ghost."

I love the way she looks when she sleeps.

"What are you staring at?" Buffy asked.

"You," I said.

"Well stop it, you're giving me the creepies." She said in that way I love.

"You want to know something? I love the way you look when you smile, cry and when you sleep."

"I love you too."

Wow, I thought, I still can't get over the fact that she tells me she loves me. If the others knew about this, I would literally be dust right now.

"Can I tell you a secret?" Buffy started with a seductive look.

"Is it something good?"

"Oh yeah, I want to tell everyone about us."

"What!" I was stunned. "Do you really mean it?"

"Yes, I think it's time."

We kissed passionately for about a minute then I pulled away. "Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure. We should go inside and tell Xander and Anya right now." She said absolutely serious and a look of content.

The Magic Box was bright and you could see that all of the Scoobies were sitting in there, obviously Dawn and Willow decided against going to the movies.

"Okay, let's do it," I said confidently. I reached out and grabbed her hand and opened the door to the Magic Box.
