Dawn flung her head back as she squealed loudly and jumped around before her legs went weak but Spike ran up to her before she fell.
"Won't be having you doing that too pet." Spike said softly he pull her up in his arms and headed for the front door to give her some air.
"Oh poor Dawnie, I wonder what she will say when she comes around" say Willow with worried tinge to her voice.
"Well I gather either a big hug or big slap" Buffy laughed. Spike looked over to her.
"Ha, very funny, luv." he said sarcastically. Everyone just huddled around Dawn to see if she was okay.
After few minutes Dawn was beginning to come around. She rubbed her eyes.
"SPIKE!" was the first thing she said. Her eyes were just focusing when Buffy helped her up.
"Hey Bit, your awake." Spike said putting out his cigarette.
"OH MY GOD, your alive?" she said unsure if she was seeing things.
"Yeah pet, 'm back now, and not going anywhere for along time, I hope."
Dawn ran to him and knocked him off balance but she stopped him from falling by her arms around his waste.
"I missed you" tears threatened to stream down her face but Spike wiped them away with his thumb.
"I missed you to Bit. Missed you to." he said as he picked her up and span her around.
"And we will be having non of that poncy crying game, ok?" he laughed
"Yeah sure" she smiled and hugged him tightly "Just don't leave again ...ok?"
"Your wish is my command pet" he said putting her back down to the ground and Dawn stood beside him arms around each others waists.
"Right, how about some dinner?" Willow asked.
"I won't say no" Buffy said walking in the house.
"Me too." said Xander.
"Yeah I could do with some food now." Dawn said still amused by Spike.
"After you then pet?" Spike said happily. Dawn nodded and followed Xander inside then Spike walked in and closed the door behind him.
"You know what, I even missed the great poof as well, someone to tease you know." Spike said looking at Xander.
"Well, you wont be here much longer if you keep pushing it Captain Peroxide. You fit in Buffy's ash tray." Xander scorched.
"What, and have Buffy and the Bit hating you forever? I don't think you could." Spike threw back
"Okay guys calm it down. We're going to have a nice civil dinner okay? Or is that too much to ask?" Buffy slammed the table.
"Buffy, careful you'll break the china." Willow said shocked.
"Yeah sorry."
"Right, who wants food?" Willow asked in on a tray, the bowls of soup.
"Oh great, soup" Dawn rolled her eyes.
"Hope you know Spike helped make it." Buffy laughed.
"Wow, then it must be good." Dawn smiled and went as red as Buffy's dress then looked down.
"Okay then, everyone sit." Willow ordered.
Spike pulled a chair out for Buffy and they both smiled at each other and he tucked it in after she had sat.
"Welcome luv." Spike smiled. Xander pushed Willow's chair in and was about to push Dawn's in when Spike had beaten him. Spike make a kissing shape with his lips and laughed before taking his seat next to Dawn. Willow Buffy And Xander were sat at the other side of the table. As they all tucked in to the soup.
"Hmm. This is delicious." Dawn spoke with her mouth full.
"He cooks better than Buffy." Dawn smiled spooning another in her mouth.
Buffy shot an evil look across the table at Dawn as they ate.
"What..."Dawn said. "It's true Buffy. Everything you make is either too black to see what it is or is burned tasting."
Xander and Willow looked at each other both trying not to laugh.
The first two dishes went down. A treat, first vegetable soup followed by stake and chips. After they had eaten that, Buffy had taken out the plates out and was in the process of washing them and getting the chocolate blamonge for desert when two big strong arms came around her waist.
"If you needed any help luv, you should have said something. You know I would have done anything for you." he whispered in her ears and nibbling at her neck. Buffy tilted her head back as she gave in, followed by low moan.
"Spike, stop. Not now. I have to get the dessert." she resisted.
"I thought I was dessert?" he smiled turning her around to face him.
"No you just the starter" Buffy teased.
"Oh really, then I can't wait till I get to the main course and the dessert" he said playing with a lock of her hair.
"I think I will take my main course now." he smiled locking eyes with hers.
"I think you will not" Buffy said. "We have guests."
"Stop me!" Spike said smashing his lips to hers. Buffy resisted and tried to push him away it was no use it was making her want him more touching his body. After a few minutes of tongue wrestling they broke apart at the doorbell ringing. Buffy quickly handed Spike the tray and made herself look presentable.
"But..." Spike was cut off by Buffy shoving a cookie in his mouth.
"Now go before I can't stop myself." Buffy smiled. Spike headed for the dining room as Dawn answered the door.
"Buffy." Dawn shouted. "It's for you. Someone tall, dark, and pale with sort of spiky hair."
Ok who could that be, I don't know anyone with spi...Oh god. Then it hit her. She walked to the front door and looked up.
"ANGEL?"
