This is my first Fan Fiction. EVER. Please go a little easy on me! While I appreciate all feedback/reviews, I would appreciate NO flaming. Constructive Criticism is very welcome though!
Nothing of Buffy belongs to me. I only greatly admire the story & producers. That being said, however, THIS STORY, is all MINE!
Joyce is soaking in the bathtub, waiting for dinner to be done. Dawn & Buffy said they would cook her dinner since her headaches have been horrible today. She looks at the clock on the bathroom counter, and sees that it is reading 3:30. The girls haven't been home from school very long at all, and already they are bickering. This is going to be a long night. She thought to herself.
As she smells something burning, she gets out of the bath to see what is going on. My kitchen better not be on fire. She thought. "Girls, I am so not in the mood for the bickering & arguing tonight. If you can't agree on what to make for dinner, I'll do it, or order a pizza." She said strictly.
As she turned around to go get her hair brushed, someone knocked on the door. She opened it, and it was Giles. "Well, Joyce, You are just the person I wanted to see. What do you say dinner & a movie tonight?" he asked, while sniffing the air. "Are the girls cooking dinner tonight?" he said with a smirk.
"How did you guess?" she said with a stifled giggle. Oh God, what this guy does to my insides! He is just so incredibly handsome & sweet! "Dinner sounds great. I'm not even sure what movies are playing, but with how I have felt today, how about dinner & a movie at home? Your house or here. Your choice!"
"I just got a new TV so we can watch it there. I will jot home & shower & be back here around 5. Sound okay with you? Where would you like to go for dinner?" He replied.
"Where ever you choose is fine with me. I'm not picky when it comes to food, as long as it's not charred!" She laughed.
"Well, no worries, We can figure it out in a bit then! I'll be back." He said as he rushed out the door.
She is so pretty. So down to earth. So loving. Oh bloody hell. I may just be in love. Giles thought as he drove home.
"Girls, Giles and I are going to go to dinner & then to his place to watch a movie. Why don't the two of you just order a pizza? My treat! Invite the gang over and maybe have someone grab a couple new movies on the way over?" Joyce said nervously, as she laid a $50 on the table. "This should feed everyone."
"Mom, are you sure you feel okay? We can stay home & be quiet if you would rather sleep the pain off tonight?" Dawn asked, worringly.
"DAWN! Need a word with you please!" Buffy insisted.
They walked upstairs to Buffy's room & closed the door. "Are you serious Dawn? Do you not notice how happy and giggly mom gets when Giles is around? She totally has the hots for him!"
"Oh, well I hadn't really noticed! That's kinda gross, but cool, because Giles is – well, Giles! He's pretty cool." Dawn replied.
"Do you want to call everyone and tell them to be over here around –" Buffy cut herself off.
"MOM! What time are you and Giles leaving so I know what time to have everyone show up!" Buffy yelled down stairs.
"Yeah, Buff, that's going to help her headache go away." Dawn said sarcastically.
"Giles said he would be here around 5:00, so that should give you girls enough time to shower & get the pizza ordered and call everyone! Buffy, may I have a word?" Joyce replied.
"Sure, Mom, One second?" She asked as she turned back towards Dawn. "You call everyone & tell them to come over. Xander & Anya, Tara & Willow, Spike, Riley & a couple of friends of yours if you want to, so you don't feel so left out! I'll call the pizza in, I know what most everyone likes on their pizzas, what they don't like, well, they can pick it off!"
Buffy and Joyce went to Joyce's room to pick out her outfit. " Two Things Buffy; 1- Are you sure you are okay with Giles and I going to dinner & a movie? And 2 – Please don't let things get too out of control. I know how you've been acting when Spike is around –" Kind of like I act when I am around Giles, Joyce thought silently. " so if both he and Riley show up, I would appreciate it if you can keep them from tearing the house apart! Keep things in line for me, baby. If anything gets too serious between anyone, protection. You know there is some in my bathroom!"
"MOTHER! Why do you have condoms in your bathroom? Wait – No, do NOT answer that! I do not want to know that. I will make sure Spike and Riley do not act like jealous children & if they do, I'll just dust Spike! What do you mean, you've seen how I have been acting when Spike is around, am I really that noticeable? Oh God, do you think Riley has noticed? And mom, I am completely happy with the idea of you and Giles dating, or being friendly. I love Giles! He's a great guy. Absolutely perfect for you! I love you mom, and if you are happy, then I will be happy for you!"
"Thank you baby doll! Yes, you are noticeable around Spike. Buff, if he makes you happy, baby then go for it. So what, he's a vampire! You still deserve happiness! Things have been stressful between you and Riley for a while now, it seems. YOU deserve happiness also! Do not do anything you would regret if those two get out of line, though! I can see the love in your eyes for him. Be happy Buffy! Be smart! After the pain I saw you go through with Angel, you deserve happiness!"
"Thank you mom. Now, you get dressed, I'll call the pizza order in. Yell if you need anything!" Buffy said sweetly. She stopped when she got to the door, "Oh and Mom – Are you sure YOU can handle having Spike around? I want to take things slow with him, but he's all I dream about, all I think about. He has helped me with so many fights, that no one knows about. He could have killed me so many times, and he hasn't. I really hope he feels the same way about me. How do I tell Riley?"
"You will think of a way, sweetie. Now go get that pizza ordered, I have a date to get ready for!" Joyce replied.
Buffy got all the pizzas ordered & went back upstairs to find out from Dawn who all would be coming tonight.
"Did you get ahold of everyone? Who all will be here?" Buffy questioned Dawn.
"Riley has something going on with the initiative starting at 7 so he said he won't be able to make it, everyone else will be here though." Dawn replied.
"Okay, I am going to go catch Riley before he gets things started, did he say where he was?" Buffy asked?
"I think he was still at the dorm, but he didn't say." Dawn replied.
Buffy opens the door to Riley's room, and finds him layed across his arm chair, eyes closed, with a vampire biting his wrist. Sucking his wrist.
"What the hell are you doing Riley?" Buffy yelled.
"Bu-Buffy, what are you doing here? I thought everyone was going to be at your house for pizza and movie tonight?" He asked guiltily.
"Well, we are, but honestly, I came over here so I could break up with you. I'm interested in someone else, I was going to say it a lot nicer, but after seeing you cheating on me, screw that! You get it like this. Riley, it's over. Don't call. You made it plain right there what you feel for me. NOTHING! Good-bye." Buffy said and left suddenly.
"Oops, well I guess we shouldn't have come back here then?" Riley asked the vampire.
Jump to Buffy walking back to her house, sobbing.
"Damn him! I was supposed to be the one to break his heart. Not the other way. Oh well, I guess once I talk to Spike, maybe I will break Riley's heart!" Buffy said aloud, to no one.
Buffy is stopped by a car going real slow behind her. She turns around. There is a black DeSoto with blacked out windows & dented fender. Oh it's Spike! she thought as she opened the door.
"Oh, Luv, what's the matter?" he asked as he pushed the door for her. "I was just heading to your place, jump in and I will give you a ride."
"Well, I went to Riley's place – thanks for the ride by the way – to break up with him, because I have feelings for yo- someone else – and what do I find? Him letting a vampire suck his arm dry. I thought he loved me, How could he do this to me?" Buffy cried.
"Oh Buffy, I'm so sorry. Do you want me to go bite him and do him in?" Spike said with a smirk.
"No! Don't do that, he would probably just like it, and I can't handle him liking it from you. Spike, I – " Buffy stopped.
"What is it luv?" Spike asked questionably.
"I just don't understand why I can't get a good guy. Angel was good, but what could I do with him? We couldn't have sex or anything because he went evil, then wanted to kill me. Riley cheated on me. Maybe I'll pull a Willow and go gay." Buffy said with a slight laugh.
"Oh, please pet, don't do that! I think you just need a little monster in your man." Spike said as he winked at Buffy.
"Wh-What do you mean? You're with Drucilla or Harmony aren't you? Do you know a 'good' guy who has a little monster in them then?" She asked, seriously.
"Of course I do luv, You're lookin' at 'im." Spike said, as he brought a hand up to Buffy's face & stroked her cheek with his thumb.
Oh my lord, he is totally hitting on me. Buffy thought.
"Spike – Since I first saw you, I thought you were gorgeous! Then you tried to kill me, so of course I had no other choice but to fight back. But after I got to know you, and once you found out about this chip, I felt so bad anytime I would hit you, but you seemed like you liked it." Buffy said, still confused.
"Oh, Pet, it turns me on when you're rough like that. I don't like the bloody taste from myself, but hell yeah, total turn on! I have wanted you since I first saw you. Honest. Buffy, Can I ki-" He said.
"Spike, if you ask me if you can kiss me, I will stake you right here & now. Just shut up and kiss me. NOW!" Buffy interrupted.
She leaned towards him, as he leaned towards her, and their lips brushed. She put her hands behind his head & fiercely pulled his mouth into hers. He was about to pull away, when she stuck her tongue in his mouth.
"Oh – Buffy – You Taste – So Good." Spike stammered out in between kisses.
"As do you, Spike." Buffy replied. "But we can't let this go to far. It's 4:30, they're going to wonder where I'm at. Let's head over to my house, and while on patrol tonight we can talk about this a little more?"
"Talk – Smalk." Spike said as he fiercely kissed her again. "Yes, that would be best. If we don't go now, I'm not going to want to go!"
They drove in silence, her head on his shoulder, holding hands, the rest of the way to Buffy's house.
"Until we figure out what this is between us, can we keep it just between us?" Buffy asked before they got out of the car.
"Of course, my luv. I'd do anything for you!" Spike replied, as he looked at Buffy lovingly.
As Joyce and Giles are leaving the resturant, they discuss which movie to watch.
"Anything is fine with me. I really like classics, but of course, it's your house, you choose!" She said.
"Nonsense. You are the guest, you should choose!" Giles said as he grabbed her hand!
I don't even want to watch a movie when we get there. Giles & Joyce thought at the same time.
As they opened the door, Giles said, "I am going to go get some wine," as he motioned to the TV and movie case. "You choose the movie!"
Joyce moved to the TV and movie case, and just grabbed the first thing that she saw, which so happened to be her favorite, Dances with Wolves. She sat down on the couch and pushed pause while waiting for him to come back.
About 30 minutes into the movie, Giles put his arm around Joyce and pulled her towards him.
"Joyce, I have to be honest with you, I'm not nearly as interested in the movie as I am in you. I have wanted you for as long as I can remember. You are so beautiful, caring, & loving & I want to get to know you a lot better." Giles said, lovingly.
"Oh Rupert, I feel the same way." Joyce replied, as she leaned in to kiss him.
"What say we forget about the movie then?" Replied Giles as he deepened the kiss.
"Mhmm." Mumbled Joyce.
She started unbuttoning his shirt, and rubbed her hands all across his chest. He started undoing her shirt, and unclasped her bra, and started stroking her breasts.
"Bedroom?" Giles asked.
"Definitely." Joyce huskily replied.
"Call if you need anything Buffy – We can be at the cemetary in no time!" Xander yelled as Buffy left to go patrol.
Oh, I won't need anything. I'll have Spike with me. She thought silently.
"Okay guys, see ya later then!" Buffy yelled as she took off at a jog. Jogging pants, tank top & running shoes. Couldn't be more comfortable!
Thank you so much for reading! There will be more! I can't just leave y'all hangin' with this ending! Please, review Chapter 1!
