Summary: AU. Buffy and Spike have a crush on one another, but there are a few problems! Buffy and Spike POV.
Please read and review! ;o)
A/N: Just so you know and there isn't aren't any problems or confusion, when it's either Buffy or Spike POV, there will be a title either saying 'Buffy' or 'Spike'. I'm not the best with the British terms, but I hope its okay! ;o)
Buffy
First off, I just found out that my long-term crush, William Liam is soon going to be my stepbrother! I just can't get over it! That sexy…god…is going to be living in the same house as you, my brain screamed! I'm excited but nervous. I mean who wouldn't be, you know? It's almost like incest to have a crush, scratch that, be in love with your own stepbrother. But I can't help but want him…
William, a.k.a. Spike, is the greatest thing that walks this earth! Well at least he is to me. Anyway, he has bleached blonde hair that looks sexiest when he's run his hand through it and it's in those little curls. His scarred eyebrow from a fight is also a sexy asset on him…and that body! My body practically sings whenever I see the muscles ripple under his usual tight black tee, with his long leather duster whipping along behind him.
Sometimes, I wonder if he's ever had a crush on me, but I doubt it, since he is a year ahead of me and already in college- I start my first year at UC-Sunnydale this fall. Still, I have my doubts about ever hooking up with him, so usually when I feel down, I go and complain to my three best friends; Willow, Anya, and Cordy.
I groan and pace back and forth in my room. I gaze at the wall next to me, inspecting the Dingoes Ate My Baby poster on my wall. They are my favorite band, which Spike just happens to be the lead singer of! But more importantly, on the other side of that wall is Spike's new bedroom. He's going to be here for the rest of the summer, until school starts up again in the fall. A lot can happen in a couple of weeks, right?
I hear a knock on the door. I quickly look at my appearance and stare at my reflection. I look like I am glowing, I think to myself. My long blonde hair hangs in curls around my face; my lips are painted a light red and looked full and pouty. My face is flushed and my hazel eyes are brighter than usual. I am my mother's maid of honor so she picked out only the best dress for me - which I have to admit, looks perfect. It's an off-white, flowing strapless gown and on the hem of the gown there are silver beads, and sparkles imbedded in between. The color is perfect because it shows off my evenly tanned skin. I smile at my reflection.
I heard the knock again and this time the door is opened, with a pair of the bluest eyes I've ever seen staring back at me.
My heart skips a beat when I realize it is Spike who is staring at me. I can't take my eyes off of him and I feel myself blush while his gaze roams my body. When his eyes travel to my lips, I unconsciously darted my tongue out to wet them… wait, was that a moan I heard from him? I decide it probably wasn't and smile at him.
"Hi Spike." I am surprised now at how coolly that came out, how sensual it sounded.
"Hey pet, wanted to let you know, it's time to go." He gives me a sexy grin and holds out his arm. I graciously take it and smile again, and we descend the stairs together.

Spike
It's finally bleeding over, I think to myself, as I run up the stairs to my room to get out of the stuffy suit my father got for me. I throw on my usual black pants and shirt, along with my duster and go out the back porch of my new home for a smoke. 'Not like the old man will mind' I think to myself. I hope he is having a bloody fun time on the honeymoon, the old dog.
I reach into my pocket and pull out my smokes, grabbing one and lighting it, taking a nice, long drag. Don't get me wrong, I am happy the pops moved on with another woman. I just hate being away from him, because ever since me mum died, he's never really left me alone. Now I sound like a sodding git…Man, you're twenty one years old!
I turn around and gaze up at my new home. "Not so bad, better than an apartment.." I mumble to myself. Then my gaze travels to her room. Joyce's daughter, my stepsister now. I always had a bloody crush on her, and it only got worse tonight when I saw her, she looked so friggin' beautiful, it was unbelievable.
I remember back to only a few of hours ago at the reception, when the best man and maid of honor danced. The feel of her in my arms and thinking it felt so right.
Ahh, bloody hell! What are you thinking you stupid git, I yell at myself. She's your bleeding stepsis now, nothing can come of it. Nothing!
Just the thought of me and her being alone for a whole two months is a temptation. I'm just glad she doesn't have the slightest idea that I have a crush on her, I tell myself.
I hear an enticing voice call my name.
"Hey Spike." I turn around and see Buffy staring back at me with an expression of boredom on her face. God she looks beautiful in her sweats and white tank top, I think to myself. I see her blushing. Why is she blushing? I wonder. Then I realize how intensely I am staring at her.
"Yes pet?" I ask.
"I'm bored, and hasn't anyone ever told you how bad that is for you?" She says pointing to my smoke that I forgotten about it. I immediately flick it to the ground watching it simmer until it goes out.
"Yeah well, can't resist the temptation sometimes." I drawl and watch her blush again.
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to watch a movie with me?" Of course I say yes, how could I resist those pouty lips that look like they taste like strawberries? I might just get myself a taste test…
