A/N: Just letting you ALL know before you read, I HAVE changed my pen name to fantaisieponz...Why? Eh, I was getting a little tired of that name so I made up a more eccentric and original one. Well, enjoy this chapter, though I'm not very confident about it....(and yes, fantaisie is supposed to be spelled that way, it's not fantasy. lol that's not a typo XD)

Spike lay on his head, his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling.

'I can't have feelings for Faye.' He thought, 'I'm incapable of developing feelings for anyone. Not since Julia died. But for some reason, Faye is different from all of the women I've come in contact with.' Though he told himself over and over again, he couldn't fight the fact that he was. He was, slowly but surely, falling in love with Faye.

KNOCK KNOCK

Spike was immediately pulled from his thoughts by the sound of knocking at his door. He shook his head wildly to try to gravitate his mind back to reality. "Uh, come in."

Jet walked into Spike's room, slowly closed the door behind him.

"What's wrong, man? You haven't left your room all day and its 5:00. I'm all lonely out here. Camilla's gone for a case."

Spike sat up, rubbing his eyes. "I don't know. Just not feeling up to par today."

"Why not?" Jet asked, sitting on Spike's bed, happy that he was actually clothed this time. "Tell me."

"Nah, it's nothin'. All I need is a loosey."

Jet nodded, as he watched his friend miserably pull out a cigarette and lighter from his nightstand.

"It is….Julia?"

"Yeah. Yeah." Spike quickly, though solemnly, answered as he looked at Jet. "Yeah, it's….I've met someone. And…" Spike looked down at his lap, shaking his head. "I'm developing strong feelings for her. Feelings that…make me wanna leave Julia's memory behind."

Jet smiled, clapping his hands together. "Whoa! When do I meet her?"

Spike looked back up at Jet and chuckled as he placed the cigarette between his lips and lit it. "I've gotta make a phone call, if you'll excuse me."

"Say no more." Jet responded, standing and quickly leaving.

At the sound of the door closing, Spike grabbed his cell phone from his nightstand and dialed Faye's number.

Faye was walking out of the shower and about to get ready for her first date with Kennedy Hershlag, her bass playing crush. As she exited the shower, and glanced at herself in the mirror, all she could think about was Spike and her theory about his supposed jealously. In reality, she didn't really think that he was jealous. She was just teasing. But what a thought. He and she. Together. She adored Spike as a friend, but loved his as something more. Something that, when she thought about it, it hurt her severly. She knew that Spike could never love her back, for he didn't seem as if he were capable of even liking her in that special kind of way.

RING RING

Faye jumped as she heard her cell phone abruptly ring. She ran into her bedroom, grabbed her phone and flipped it open.

"Hello?"

"You sound like you're in a rush."

Faye quickly recognized that sultry, sexy voice. Spike Spiegel.

"And what do you care?"

"What cha doin' tonight? I was thinkin' we can go to dinner."

"Why Mr. Spiegel? Are you asking me out on a date?"

"No." Spike responded flatly.

Faye's heart sank. "Oh, well, I'm busy tonight anyways."

"Oh?" Spike was surprised.

"Yes, in fact, I am. Kennedy Hershlag and I are going out to DeNaso's at 7."

Spike fell silent. He couldn't believe that Faye was actually going to date this guy. "Ah…okay. Well, go have a good time with your jaaazz man."

"I will." Faye responded, hanging up the phone.

As Spike placed his cell phone beside him, his heart dropped. He couldn't let Faye date this guy. Faye was his and she was to be off limits from ANY guy.

"JET! WE'RE GOIN' OUT TONIGHT!"

"So what's the occasion?" Jet asked, as they parked in DeNaso's parking lot.

Spike looked down at his watch it was 7:09. They were in there. "Just wanted to hang out with my best friend." Spike gave Jet a toothy and suspicious smile.

Jet cringed at his friend's strange behavior. "Fine." He pulled the key out of the ignition and the two men exited the car.

Spike looked around to suspiciously just in case the couple in question were late for some reason or another.

"What are you lookin' for?" Jet asked, as he watched his partner twirl around and stare.

"Oh, nothing. Ha ha."

Jet winced at Spike's continued peculiar behavior.

The two friends entered the super fancy restaurant to see an extremely long waiting line.

"Damn. We got here too late." Jet said, scratching his head.

'No! I've gotta find Faye.' Spike thought. "No!"

Jet turned around to look at Spike. "No what?"

"N-no. I don't wanna leave. I've been having the mood for DeNaso's for a while."

"I…didn't say we had to leave."

Spike gave Jet a confused look, then soon masked it with a huge, creepy smile. Jet jumped at the strange smile his friend gave him. "You're freakin' me the fuck out, Spike."

"Cheers, to a beautiful night. And an exquisitely beautiful woman."

Faye giggled at Kennedy's toast. "Cheers."

Faye sat across from the handsomely suited Kennedy in a long white gown. All of her hair was pulled back into a bun and she wore silver dangly earrings. Her left wrist was draped with a large diamond bracelet that one of her ex boyfriend's bought her as a gift. Her neck was dressed in a beautiful silver necklace. All and all, she was flawless.

Kennedy grabbed Faye's hand, which was resting on the table. "Oh, Faye. The minute I saw you, I knew that we would be together." Faye smiled at Kennedy's corny flattery.

"Oh, Kenn-"

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Faye Valentine and…the Jaaaazz man."

Faye's eyes shot up to see none other than Spike Spiegel standing over Kennedy.

"SPIKE!" Faye yelled.

"How ya doin', Jack." Spike leaned over Kennedy's chair as he looked at the baffled bass player.

"It's…Kennedy."

"Oh, hi Faye." Spike looked at a fuming Faye.

Faye looked down at her lap. "Spike, what are you doing here." She tried to stay as calm as possible.

"Oh, well, Jet and I came to eat of course. You didn't think I'd come all the way here to spoil your date, no do you?" He did, alright.

Faye continued to stare at her lap and shake her head.

"Sir, you're making Faye pretty upset. I think you should-"

"Now, wait a minute, man. Nobody tells Spike Spiegel who he's upsetting. You're fine, aren't you Faye?"

Faye exhaled through her nose once more before slamming her napkin onto the table and marching out of DeNaso's glass doors.

"FAYE!" Spike called after her, watching as she stormed out of the restaurant.

"HA! You're crazy, Spike!" Jet barreled over, laughing hysterically as if he'd seen the funniest thing in his life.

Kennedy slowly turned around to look at the man who'd just ruined his date.

"Hold on, Jet, I gotta go smoke." Spike ran out of DeNaso's without another word.

"What's up with that guy, eh?" Kennedy asked Jet, who was too busy laughing to even pay attention to what he was saying.

Kennedy rolled his eyes. "I see."

"Faye! FAYE! Stop! Wait!"

Faye stopped in her tracks and swung around to look at the obnoxious man following her.

"I can't believe you did that, Spike! You humiliated me!"

"I'm sorry, really, I am."

"No!" Faye turned around and crossed her arms around her chest. "I finally find someone that I'm attracted to…other than you…and you try to push him away from me." Faye felt a single tear roll down her cheek as she felt that it was time to confess. It was time confess how she really felt about Spike.

Spike slowly walked closer to her and placed his large hands atop of her shoulders. "What…what do you mean?" He whispered.

Faye whipped around to look at Spike. "I….I love you. And…I have for a long time…and…I know that you don't want to return to feeling, but…."

Spike placed his index finger onto Faye's soft lips. "Shh…" He took Faye's hand in his, brought it up to his lips and kissed it, gently. "I believe…I believe I've fallen for you as well."

With those small words, Faye's entire world lit up. Her frown slowly turned into a smile as Spike thumbed at the tears on her beautiful, porcelain cheeks.

With that, he cupped her face in his hands and bent down slightly, awaiting their lips to meet.

As their lips touched, Faye began to cry even harder, knowing that the man she'd crushed on, the man she'd loved. He loved her back.

They slowly parted with smiles on their faces. They gently met foreheads as they stared into each other's eyes. "I wanna go back to your place." Spike breathed, knowing exactly what he wanted to do.

"A little forward, aren't we?" Faye responded, returning her lips to his.

"Dammit. Where the hell did Spike go. SPIKE! SPIKE!" Jet passed by the corner of DeNaso's, looking through the darkness.

What he saw almost made him pass out. Faye and Spike embracing, lovingly and entered a cab together.

Jet stared in total disbelief as the cab drove off into the night.
