She couldn't concentrate on patrol. Not when their kiss was still in her mind from last night. She remembered his firm but gentle grip on her waist as his fingers moved gently over her lower back. She remembered being pulled closer to him and losing herself in his hold. Even though vampires couldn't breathe, she swore she felt Spike's warm sweet breath on her neck. But most of all, she could still feel his soft, soothing lips on hers as their tongues entwined..
STOP IT
She had to let this go. It was a stupid mistake. Okay, maybe the same mistake twice but it ended now. Nothing more could happen between them. DONE. FINISHED. OVE -
Suddenly, Buffy's illicit thoughts and fantasies were interrupted when she heard a crack behind her. She spun round, grabbing the thing that was lurking a few paces behind and pinned it to the ground. She was about to plunge a stake through it's heart when she stopped and heard a familiar voice.
"Bloody hell love, don't be so skittish!". Buffy rolled her eyes and clambered off of the now filthy figure.
"Spike! What the hell are you doing creeping up on me like that? Oh yeah, because you've got nothing better to do than to stalk the slayer!"
Spike regained his footing and made a measly attempt to brush the dirt off of his duster. "Well it doesn't technically count as stalking if the stalkee has responded to the stalker...twice", Spike replied in an annoyingly seductive tone that Buffy loved and hated at the same time.

She turned away to carry on patrolling but Spike was there in a flash and grabbed her arm with one hand and her waist with the other. Buffy was momentarily forced to look into his sparkling blue eyes. Then they all came back. All the memories of last night and the night before in fact. Spike had now released his grip on Buffy's arm, as she wasn't trying to run away anymore. He brushed his palm across her cheek instead, as he cupped her perfect face in his hand. He edged closer to her but still, she didn't move. His lips had just brushed the slayer's when she hurled him against a crypt wall.
"I've told you before. This can't ever work. Now stay the hell away from me and my friends or so help me I will kill you!" With a swish of her hair, she ran off into the darkness, leaving Spike even more determined to win over his girl...
