I can't believe what I'm doing, thought Buffy as she sat on her bed, cross in one hand and a firm frown on her brow.
Why did I...why did I boink Spike? I mean, he's revolting and rude and ignorant...but he has that leather and the hair and the duster and....the accent and.....
CRAP I'm doing it again. I told myself over and over!
"Buff?" Dawn stood at the door in her pajamas, "Janice and I are just going to...go to bed now, ok?"
Buffy gave her sister a stern look, "Yeah. Make sure your window's bolted before anything else. Don't need any more time out searching for ya. And," she added as Dawn rolled her eyes to leave, "I was young once. I do know that sleep-overs rarely involve sleeping. Just don't blare the radio too loud. I want to actually get some sleep tonight."
"Fine."
Buffy had hidden away her cross as soon as her sister had entered the room. She took it out again and stared at it some more until she heard the faint sounds from Dawn's room.
Sometimes it's wrong to walk away
Though you think it's over
Knowing there's so much more to say
Suddenly the moment's gone
And all your dreams are upside down
And you just want to change the way the world goes round
"Oh, the little brat! Doesn't she know that love songs about me are just what are popular these days?" Buffy muttered and shut her door. Then she listened through the wall some more. It was actually a pretty cool song...
Tell me
Have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Can't you see
That's the way I feel about you and me
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Looking down the road you should be taking
I should know
'Cos I loved and lost the day I -
"-let you go..." Spike crooned as he took another swig of whiskey. Buffy, Buffy, Buffy. When would that girl learn that he was the only one she had?
I mean, she admitted to it when before they had kissed, when she was drunk! She had said that the only one she could stand to be around was the neutered vampire that cheated at kitten poker!
How many Spikes could there be?
I've really got to get ahold of myself, he mused, because this girl is going to drive me to the......well, the grave. Yeah.
This whiskey is damn great! Must be Canadian...
He let himself listen to the faint music coming from the bar and started to sing along again.
"Can't help but think that this is wrong-"
We should be together
Back in your arms where I belong
Now I finally realise
It was forever that I found
I'd give it all to change the way the world goes round
Buffy held the cross closely to her heart as she whispered the lyrics to herself.
" Tell me
Have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Can't you see
That's the way I feel about you and me, baby
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Looking down the road you should be taking
I should know (I should know)
'Cos I loved and lost the day I let you go"
Spike laid his head down on the bar counter and closed his eyes, thinking of the blonde, green eyed girl that was so stubborn that he couldn't help but love the pouting lips...
"I really want to hear you say
That you know just how it feels
To have it all and let it slip away
Can't you see
I know the moment's gone
I'm still holding on somehow
Wishing I could change the way the world goes round"
Buffy was really singing now, she hadn't felt this surge of energy since....well, since the last time she sang.
" Tell me
Have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Can't you see (Oh)
That's the way I feel about you and me, baby"
Spike smiled at his whiskey, "Man, oh man. That girl is going to make me feel like my-"
-heart was breaking
Looking down the road you should be taking
I should know (I should know)
'Cos I loved and lost the day I let
Yes I loved and lost the day I let
Yes I loved and lost the day I let you go
