First Meetings
Buffy walks gracefully across the shore of California beach, the water splashes at her feet. The sun starts to set in the distance, she sits down and watches it go down, she gets up after it gets a little darker and walks back to her lodge on the beach.
'Hey Buffy, have fun' Willow asks as Buffy walks through the door,
'Yah it was so beautiful, I tell ya Will, if I had the chance I would never leave this place, it really helps clear your head, just walking along the shore at night, I love it' she looks at Willow who looked bored at the long explanation and smirks,' Sorry' Willow giggles,
'I agree Buffy, but you know we're leaving here soon, we have to go back home'
'Yah I know, that really sucks you know, why cant we just stay here, two best friends living in a lovely beach house on well the beach' she smiles, Willow shakes her head at her friend, ' Well one can dream cant they' Buffy says walking over to Willow, they wrap their arms around each others next and flop onto the couch.
'So what's on the tube tonight?' Buffy says picking up the TV controller; she flips through the channels looking for something decent to watch,
'Ohhh Scooby-Doo' Willow sings songs as Buffy flips onto a channel with the cartoon Scooby-Doo on,
'Yay' Buffy says she throws the controller on the seat; they lay back and watch TV.
At 11pm, Willow has fallen asleep, Buffy notices her friend asleep and budges her arm,
'Willow' she says waking her up, 'How bout you go to bed' she says helping her friend up, Willow says good night and closes her door to sleep, Buffy goes back over to the TV, and carries on watching cartoons, after 15minutes…
Knock Knock
Buffy looks up at the door and then looks at the clock,
'Who the hell is knocking at this hour?' she says getting up and walking to the door, she opens it and her jaw almost falls to the door, there was a drop dead gorgeous block standing just a few feet from her, high strong cheek bones, platinum blond hair, dressed all in black, and was wearing a cheeky grin on his face,
'Evening luv' Buffy snaps out of her daze as he speaks,
'Uh can I help you?' she asks, he grins
'Yah, could I use your phone, pet?' she smiles at the pet names he's giving her, but covers it up,
'Well that depends…' she says smiling flirtiously, he tilts his head and grins,
'Yah, what on luv' he grins at him,
'Are you a burglar?' she asks with a teasing smile, he chuckles,
'Luv if I were a burglar, I wouldn't be asking to use your phone, to find things to steal I would take one look at you and forget about everything else just take you away' he smirks, Buffy blushes but hopes it doesn't show, he chuckles again,
'Maybe I'll take you anyway' he says moving closer to her, she looks up at him into his crystal blue eyes and smiles, and then turns her head,
'There's the phone' she says biting her bottom lip, he looks in the direction he turned to and then back at her,
'Thanx pet' he says walking past her, she watches him mesmerized and starts biting her nail lightly, and swaying her body.
Willow comes out of her room and sees Buffy gawking over a guy on the phone, IN THEIR BEACH HOUSE!
'Uh Buffy? Why is there a stranger in our lodge?' she asks walking over to her, Buffy smiles,
'Isn't he gorgeous?' she says not taking her eyes of him, Willow looks at him then back at her Buffy and raises her eyebrows and wrinkles her nose,
'Ahh sure, but that still don't explain why he is in our lodge, don't he have his own phone he can use?' she says, Buffy looks at her, and smirks,
'Oh Willow, he just needed a hand'
'And you were happy enough to lend it' she says with a side teasing smile, Buffy rolls her eyes, but does say anything, her smile still planted on her lips, the man hangs up the phone and walks over to Buffy, he smirks at her gaze at him,
Thanx gorgeous, I owe you one' he says walking towards the door,
'Hey, how bout a name?' she calls after him,
'Call me Spike' he says, walking out the door, Buffy bits her nail again softly and sways her body once again,
'Spike' she whispers, Willow looks at her and rolls her eyes, then heads back to her room.
Buffy dresses up in a lose, flowery dress, her hair is down, and curled, she walks out her room and into the kitchen she grabs a bowl and pours out some cereal. Willow comes out her room,
'Wow Buffy, who all dresses up?' Buffy smiles and was about to answer when Willow butts in, ' Oh wait this has nothing to do with Spike does it?' she asks walking over and pouring a bowl of cereal out, Buffy smirks at her friend,
'Oh Willow live a little come on you cant tell me he wasn't drop dead gorgeous'
'Ok Buffy he was cute I agree but Buffy, remember Angel, he's waiting for you to come home, and not with another man' Buffy shakes her head,
'Willow I know I do remember Angel, but come on the whole point of this little get away was to you know get away… from everything even him' Willow sighs,
'Alright'
They finish their breakfast, and head to the beach, Buffy takes her towel and suntan lotion as does Willow, when they get to the beach, they lay their towels on the sand and take their dresses of, so they have only their bathing suits on, they lay down on the beach, looking out to the sea,
'Buffy?' Willow says quietly,
'Yah Will?' Buffy says lying down now, flat on her towel,
'When we go back home…' she stops, '… uh, what should I do about Oz?' Buffy looks up,
'What do you mean, what should you do, say yes, he loves you and you love him, you're great together' Willow smiles,
'Thanx Buffy, but…'
'Willow look' Buffy sits up and faces her, 'Don't be afraid, he will always love you and no matter what happens that will never change, and Willow, you're my best friend I would never lie to you, you two are meant to be' Willow hugs her,
'Thanx Buffy' Buffy pulls away from the hug,
'Now come on lets enjoy the rest of our get away' she lies back down and Willow copies her actions.
After 30minutes of sunbathing and watches the swimmers and surfers, Buffy gets up,
'Hey Will wanna drink?' she asks standing in front of her friend,
'Thanx Buff, I'll have a Bikardi Breezer,' Buffy smiles and shakes her head,
'Tsk Tsk Tsk Willow drinking, naughty naughty I should tell your mother' Buffy teases Willow kicks her lightly on the foot, and laughs, Buffy waves her arm as she walks off to the beach bar, she gets to the front of the queue finally and orders her drinks,
'Can I have one Bikardi Breezer and one Orange Twist' she asks not looking at the person taking her order, she looks up at the crystal blue eyes staring at her,
'Ello there luv' the man says, the same man that had asked to use her phone the night before, she smiles,
'Spike' she says happily,
'Naughty girl drinking at your age' he teases as he pours out her drinks, Buffy smirks, then realises what he had said,
'What do you mean my age, I aint that young, I'm 18' she moans, Spike chuckles,
'Little slow on the come back ai pet?' he hands her the drinks, she gives him the money and turns to go, 'You're a bloody hot 18 year old pet' he says from the bar, she turns back round and blushes slightly,
'Thanx' she smiles sweetly,
'You know I never did catch your name gorgeous' he says walking put from behind the bar and standing in front of her, she smiles,
'It Buffy' he smiles,
'Well Buffy enjoy the drinks' with that he goes back behind the bar and gives the other people in the queue their drinks; she smiles at him and walks off back to the beach.
'What took you so long?' Willow asks sitting up and taking her drink as Buffy sits down on her towel, her eyes were brighter than usual and she was smiling away, Willow immediately clicked and sighs,
'Buffy Buffy Buffy' says shaking her head and looks at her,
'Hey don't give me that look' she maons seeing Willow's expression,
'Oh come on Buffy, you are so head over heels for this guy' Buffy smiles,
'He's just so…'
'Cute…'
'Yeh'
'…Sexy…'
'Ahh yeh'
'…Charming'
'Oh god!' Buffy squeals, getting his image in her head, 'Willow, stop it' she moans, Willow laughs at her reaction to her description of Spike, Buffy glares at her and she stops, Buffy couldn't stop a smile appearing on her face when Willow sees it sneak through she cant help but keep laughing, unable to control herself Buffy cracks up in laughter along with Willow.
She's perfect, so beautiful, that hair that smile, just… perfect, Spike thinks as he watches the two girls laughing on the beach below the hill where the bar is, he stands where for a few minutes then turns to go back to work.
Buffy turns round feeling like someone was watching her, she furrows her eyebrows and looks up at the bar, her expression is confused,
'What's wrong Buffy?' Willow asks seeing Buffy face, she looks back at her and smiles,
'Nothing' she takes a sip of her drink and looks at the sea, 'Come on Will lets go for a swim' she says getting up and walking to the beach, Willow gets up and sneaks up behind Buffy and jumps onto her back,
'Ahh!!!' Buffy squeals holding onto Willow so she don't fall, when she reaches the water she lets go of her legs and she goes falling into the water, Buffy starts laughing as Willow surfaces with a smile on her face. Buffy holds her nose and dunks under the water, Willow looks around trying to find her, still laughing she calls her name, but she doesn't come up,
'Buffy!' she yells, then suddenly, 'Ahhh, Buffy' she squeals, Buffy had picked Willow up and was holding her legs, over her shoulders, Willow was fully out of the water and squealing, Buffy starts laughing….
Spike had gone back to the hill and was looking down at the two in the water, he smiled at them playing in the water, so carefree, innocent, loving, he thought,
'Perfect' he said aloud but as a whisper.
Buffy and Willow came out of the water a around 10 minutes alter still laughing, they went back to their towels and wrapped them round themselves, they sit down on the sand and dry off.
Next Day'Come on Will, its easy!' Buffy calls they were skating down the street, well at least Buffy was Willow was holding onto the railing all the way, Buffy turns round and starts skating backwards, watching Willow, she holds back her want to laugh, then
'Umph' Buffy skates right into a man walking down the road
'Oh sorry' she says turning round, the man smirks,
'Well well, we just keep bumping into each other ai pet' it was Spike, with a cheeky grin on his face, he was holding Buffy's arms still, from when they almost fell down from the impact, Buffy looked at him and smiled,
'Sorry Spike' she says, he takes his hands of her arms and leans on the railing,
'No worries luv kinda enjoyed having you fall into me' he says with a cheeky grin, Buffy smiles, and looks back at Willow who was still working on catching up without letting go of the railing, Buffy smirks at her friend and turns back to Spike, who was just staring at her,
'So… you work here… I mean at the bar, last night' Buffy said trying to make conversation, Spike smiles,
'Yah at the bar, it's a great place to work, you meet some amazing people, beautiful people' he says staring into her eyes, Buffy's heart misses a beat,
Is he talking about me, god I hope so, oh god look at those eyes, I could look at them all day…
No Buffy get a grip, and not on him don't even think about it, you have Angel remember that, you can't do this to him, you cant do this to Spike, you have to go back to go Angel, remember your promise,
I know but look at him he's gorgeous, look at that grin,
Buffy!!!, stop it!!,
Buffy fights with herself, she doesn't know what to do, she knows she has to leave soon, but while she's there why cant she see him its not like she's cheating on Angel she's just hanging with a new friend, yes that it he's just a friend, Buffy thinks to herself,
'You alright there luv?' Spike asks, she hadn't blinked and she was staring at him, he was beginning to get a little freaked,
'Huh, uh oh sorry, yeh just tired I guess' Buffy says finally blinking and returning to reality, Spike smiles,
'So you wouldn't be up to doing anything tonight then?' he asks, Buffy smiles, then thinks about what he said,
Wait what is he planning tonight no way I wouldn't do that eeeeewwww, gross I just met him and there's no….
'Sure' she blurts out interrupting her train of thought,
Damn, she thinks,
Spike smiles,
'Glad to hear it luv, meet me at the bar, 9' o'clock' with that he walks off down the street, Buffy watches him go,
Stupid! Her head screams at her, but she just smiles.
