Chapter 9: Meet the parents

Spike dragged all the bags into the boot of Giles' car. They were borrowing it to get to LA as his car had gone.

He came back into the house to say bye to everyone. Buffy had just been hugging everyone and Dawn

had left a little treat for them all.

Spike: Bags are packed

Buffy: Good

Giles made his way towards Spike and took him to one side.

Giles: Promise me something, will you?

Spike nodded.

Giles: Good... do not under any circumstances let Buffy drive my car, got it?

Spike: Got it, loud and clear

Spike was just about to walk off when Giles Shouted him.

Giles: And when you get back there'll be a job waiting for you

Spike's eyes lit up with joy.

Spike: Really? i mean, you want me to work with you and Andrew?

Giles: Yes... your human now and you need to earn a living... can't expect Buffy to keep up, now can we?

Spike: Good point

The men shook each others hands and Spike shouted the girls.

Spike: Girls, come on, if you wanna get there for 5 PM then you better get ya Summers asses into the car!

He chuckled to himself at his comment. Dawn and Buffy walked down the stairs and straight to the car.

He followed them and got into the drivers seat and put his seat belt on and ordered the Summers women to do so too.

The three of them waved good bye to their friends. "these next two weeks will be fun" Buffy thought.

Spike put on his favourite band Gunns 'n' Roses, Buffy and Dawn snorted their noses at it.

Buffy: Don't you have any GOOD music?

Spike: This is good... just you don't like it, silly, silly girl

Buffy: Girl?

Spike: Woman

Buffy: That's better

Dawn was munching on a bag of potato chips and she had just thought of something.

Dawn: Spike, do you have a last name?

He choked on his own saliva.

Buffy: You okay, honey?

Spike: Yeah, and yup i do... not sure i want to share

Dawn pouted and he saw it in the mirror.

Buffy: We're waiting

Spike: It's... Kingston

Dawn: William Kingston, catchy

Buffy was tapping along to the tune when Spike noticed.

Spike: Thought is wasn't good?

She just shrugged it off and Spike carried on driving.

'Welcome to Los Angeles, the city of angels' the sign read as Spike drove in.

Spike: Which way now, buffy?

Buffy looked out the window.

Buffy: take the second left, then straight down the road, then take the right and it's number 45

Spike: Rightie o

The car was pulled up outside the house. Spike stared at how nice the garden looked with all the flowers and everything.

The girls and Spike got out of the car and he grabbed the bags out the boot and headed towards the door.

Buffy knocked as hard as she could and Jane answered.

Jane: Girls! o come in, come in

Jane hugged both Dawn and Buffy.

Jane: How have you been? lets start with you, Dawn

Dawn i've been good, school is wicked and well Buffy has been soooo different

Buffy: i have?

Spike: Yes sweet heart you have

Jane couldn't believe it, British?

Jane: You must be the man Hank has been going on about for the past three days, William is it?

Spike: it's a pleasure

He planted a kiss on her cheek.

Jane: Hansome and polite not something you find every day

Dawn giggled at her step mom saying that about Spike, especially if she had seen them last night "Ewww" Dawn thought.

Buffy: Anyway, where's dad?

Jane: Just gone to get some shopping, shouldn't be long...why don't i show you to your rooms, you can unpack your stuff

Spike: Good idea

They all went upstairs and Jane showed them to their rooms. She showed Dawn to her old room and

then showed Buffy and Spike to theirs.

Jane: I hope it is to your liking

Buffy: It's great, thanks

Spike: Yeah thanks a lot Mrs Summers

Jane: Oh Will call me Jane please

He brushed his hair to free his waves.

Jane: i'll let you unpack dinner's at half 7

Jane smiled to herself as she walked away. Spike sat on the bed while Buffy unpacked their things. the way she

moved was like a dance, her little, tiny butt in really tight jeans made him think things he shouldn't be or should he?

She stopped moving and turned to him. She sat on his lap and placed her hand on his chest. His heart was beating steady.

Spike looked into her pretty hazel eyes.

Spike: What you thinkin'?

Buffy: nothing much just want to enjoy these two weeks is all, being all normal and with you here thats what's gonna top

it off

She leaned in towards him and planted a soft kiss on his rosey pink lips. She saw his lips curve into a smile.

Spike: Come on missy we better get ready for your dad

Buffy: yah huh

She hopped off his lap and all the way down the stairs.

Hank pulled his car into the drive and took a look at the car outside it.

Hank: Nice

He opened the door to see his eldest daughter standing there in a pretty purple dress with her hair shining so much

it was almost like the sun. Hank dropped the shopping and gave Buffy a hug. She returned the hug and almost squeesed him.

Hank: Working out have you? Buffy it is so good to see you

Buffy: I have and i am glad to see you too... been meaning to call

Hank stroked his daughter's skin.

Hank: Your the picture of your mother

At that moment Dawn came running down the stairs.

Dawn: Dad! ( giving him a hug ) missed you so much

Hank: Like wise... you've grown into a proper little lady haven't you?

Dawn: excuse me? i am taller than Buffy

Buffy: Are not

Dawn: are too!

Dawn pulled tounges at Buffy.

Hank: Anyway, where is that boyfriend of yours?

Buffy: He's just getting himself ready, said he didn't want to make the wrong impression

Then the Summers women all got a shock of their lives when Spike walked down then stairs in a pair of black jeans and a nice

dark red shirt and he also smelt heavenly. He walked over to Buffy and gave her a quick peck before she introduced him.

Buffy: Dad this is William, William this is my dad

Hank looked Spike up and down before he spoke.

Hank: Well i can certainly say you look decent, nice to meet you

Spike: Like wise Mr Summe- Hank With that they all went to the dining room for dinner.
