Late Night Swim


"So you really did all of that? How could you kill all of those innocent
people?" an amazed Buffy asked. Spike shrugged. "I dunno pet. Back then
it was fun to me." Buffy nodded. "And it isn't fun anymore?" she asked.
"No not really." "Ya know what me and my old friends used to do before I
was the slayer? We used to sneek out to somebody's house who had a
pool and go swimming in it in the middle of the night," Buffy smiled
at the memory. Spike looked confused. "Now why would you do that luv?",
he asked. "I don't know. Because it was fun. Wait, you've never done it?"
Spike shook his head. "Well that's gonna change tonight. Come on."
"Wait where are we going?" Spike asked as Buffy grabbed his hand and
began to pull him out of the cemetary. " We're going to go find a pool!


"Buffy are you sure about this. I mean I really don't like
the idea of just going and jumping in some stranger's pool," Spike whined.
"Stop being a baby Spike. OH! There there's a pool. Come on," Buffy
exclaimed as she went running towards the backyard of the house. A
pouting Spike soon followed.


As soon as they got to the backyard, Buffy checked to see if the family
was home. " Yes they're not here!" she yelled. "Wonderful Pet. Do I
really have to do this?" Spike asked. Buffy nodded. "YES!" She pulled
off her leather jacket, cardigan, socks, and shoes. Spike sighed and
pulled of his duster, boots, and socks. "Well, are you getting in or
not luv?" he asked. Buffy frowned. "It looks cold," she whined.
Spike was by her side in a few steps. "Oh. I'm sorry," he said, putting
his hands on her shoulders. He leaned down so his head was near Buffy's
ear. "I'm sorry pet but you'll have to deal with the cold," he whispered.
Then he picked her up in his arms and tossed her into the pool.


Spike laughed as Buffy came up for air, her hair all in her face and
her mascara running down her cheeks. "YOU ASS HOLE!" she yelled,
brushing her hair back. "I'm sorry pet, I couldn't resist." Buffy
pouted. "Well would you at least help me out of here?" she asked.
Spike walked over to the edge of the pool and held out his hand.
Buffy grabbed him and oulled him in.


"I should have known I couldn't trust you," Spike muttered. "Well ya
did bleached boy. Now let's just swim." With that, Buffy dove under
and swam to the other end of the pool. "Oh no. You're not getting
away that easily,"Spike growled. He quickly caught up to Buffy and
grabbed her hands. "You are so getting dunked for that one Slayer."
"Spike, no. Please don't,"Buffy pleaded. Spike grinned at her and
pushed her head under the water. When Spike finally let Buffy up,
she was not pleased. "That's it. You're dead," she yelled. Then she jumped up
and tackled him.


After Buffy tackled him, Spike grabbed her around the waist and
held her still. "Now are we done pet?" Spike asked. Buffy nodded.
"Good then," he said, but he didn't let go of her. Buffy shivered and
Spike ran his hands up and down her waist. GOD SHE'S BEAUTIFUL Spike
thought as he stared at Buffy. GOD HE'S GORGEOUS. WAIT, THIS
IS SPIKE! OH BUT HE'S SO HOT AND HIS EYES ARE SO PRETTY. Buffy thought
as she stared into his icy blue eyes. "Spike I...." Buffy started.
Spike cut her off by putting a finger to her lips. "Can I just do
one thing before you say anything?" he asked. "Anything," Buffy
whispered. "Thank you,"Spike whispered back. Then he bent down and
kissed her.


Buffy stiffened at first but soon relaxed and looped her arms around
Spike's neck. She couldn't help but get lost
in the feeling of his cold lips against her warm ones. He held her
as if she was a delicate piece of crystal and she would break if he
wasn't careful. But she honestly didn't mind. Riley had been rough when
he kissed her, but when Spike kissed her he was sweet and gentle.
When they finally broke apart, Buffy couldn't help but sigh. "What
are we doing?" she asked. "I don't know Luv. But I have a feeling that
it's right," Spike replied. "I think it's right too. But what will
everyone say?" "I don't know what they'll say, I don't really care ,"
Spike said. "Honestly. I feel the same way," Buffy replied.


Spike grinned and kissed Buffy again. "Come on. We should get you out
of here. You look like you're freezing," he said. Buffy nodded. The
soaking wet Slayer and Vampire got out of the pool and put their
jackets and shoes on. Then hand in hand they walked back towards
Buffy's house.


The End
