Chapter 11: Maybe some day
Buffy and Spike were sitting in the living room of her dad's house watch something about whales on the TV
When Spike said something.
Spike: I love you... Buffy Anne Summers
She tried to avoid eye contact with him as she heard those three small words. He was desperate for a reply,
but she said something to him that he'd never expect to hear.
Buffy: i know you do...
"go on say it!" Spike thought
Buffy: But i'm not sure if i'm ready
Of course she loved him just the fact that she said it and he never believed her hurt her and she didn't want
to put herself and her feelings in that position unless she was sure he'd believe her.
She planted a soft kiss on his lips and got up.
Buffy: We better get to bed, busy day tomorrow
Spike: i guess
They got to the bedroom when he just took his clothes off and slept in his boxers, not even kissing her good night.
Buffy, Dawn and Jane were at the mall. Buffy was looking so miserable her little sister was worried,
so when Jane went to the toilet, Dawn and Buffy sat on a bench next to the fountain and the slayer pulled
out a box and opened it.
Buffy: You think he'll like it?
Dawn: Way much... are you gonna ask him to marry you?
Buffy choked.
Buffy: No, it's just a gift... lost his other skull ring when he turned to dust
Dawn: so what is really bothering you?
Buffy sighed as she replays what Spike said to her, the fact he was still hurting from being in hell and being rejected.
Buffy: Confusion is all
Dawn: Eh? Confusion of what?
Buffy: Well when Spike was all beam of sun in the hell mouth... i said something to him and he didn't-
Dawn: believe you? still don't get what confusion has to do with it
Buffy:...i said that i love him, REALLY love him, non of this pretend stuff... but i don't know if i want to get back
into that with him after him saying that he doesn't believe me, maybe some day i will
The teen's eyes glowed when she heard her big sister admitting something that she has never done before. Buffy knew
his feelings were genuine but she just wanted to be sure first, in case she let him down.
