Thanksgiving
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Hope that the story isn't moving too slow for everyone.
Have got down what is going to happen. But please review as I have no idea
if anyone likes my fic. Enjoy.
CHAPTER THREE
Xander was so mad, he had just been on the phone to Dawn who had told him about Spike asking Buffy out on a date.
Buffy had been hurt so badly by Spike, hell even he had. The one night stand between Spike had Anya had hurt him and Buffy a lot. Thankfully he and Anya had seen past it, got on with their lives. But now Spike had the nerve to bring up the past and let old wounds be reopened.
He paced the flat deciding on who to call first, he wanted to talk to Buffy make sure she was ok, but at the same time he wanted to go stake Spike. Holding the phone out infront of him he opted for Buffy he could deal with Spike later.
"Hey Buff, just thought you might want to talk." Xander said when he heard Buffy's voice.
"Let me guess my lovely little wanna be cupid sister just called to tell you about Spike?"
"Well she may have said something, anyway are you ok? Spike has a nerve god he's gonna be even more dead than he already is when I get hold of him."
"Xander calm down, god he asked me out that's all, and he may have been joking. I don't see what the issue is, you and Spike are sort of friends now. You go drink together so why are you so angry?" Buffy puzzled.
"I know but this it's not fair on us Buff. It's like I'm only his friend on the understanding he leaves all of my girls alone."
"If you want I'll come over and we'll talk. K?"
With that they agreed that Buffy would come over, maybe she could calm him down before Anya got in from work.
Buffy grabbed her coat and headed outside to her car, Spike always had a knack of turning things upside down.
~~~~~~~~
Spike paced up and down, had he blown it. After Buffy had seen him having sex with Anya he had decided to leave it let her cool off. He had never really tried this approach before but he had read in Cosmo that woman need cooling off time.
Well here he was six years down the bloody line and only just making a move. Yeah he'd kissed her a few times in that time but never made any attempt to get her back. It offten occured to him that he had waited too long.
"You bloody fool, she'll probably be round here with a stake soon." He shouted to nobody but himself. "Yeah bints probably sharpening up Mr. bloody Pointy right now."
He lay on his bed and thought back to how wonderful Thanksgiving had been until he had thrown a spanner in the works.

"Ok I think maybe we should give up on dessert after that I can't eat anything. What about you guys?" Dawn asked, the group only just managed to nod back.
"Drinks we need drinks, I'll just go make some." Buffy said trying to push herself up from the table. She walked out into the kitchen.
Spike thought that this would be a good time to try his luck, never know with the Slayer being all happy and thankful he might have a better chance.
"Spike I know your there, can't hide from my spidey senses." she giggled.
"I know pet, I wasn't trying to, just came to make sure you gave me a proper drink not bloody wine." He said as he reached over her to grab the vodka she kept in the house just for him. Smirking at her the whole time, giving her the Spike charm.
He looked down to see her gazing up at him, their eyes caught. Both of them had a thousand things flashing in their minds. For a second none of it mattered, he bent his face down and took her lips. He kissed her with all the love in the world. Then for a split second she kissed him back.
"Buffy" Dawn shouted from the dining room.
Buffy pushed Spike away, she felt lost, she felt like she was back in the ruins of the building after their first night together.
"That was nothing Spike, I'm sorry to get your hopes up but it was nothing. Let's not speak of it again." She said in an tone filled with authority.
He nodded, she needed more cooling off time.

Spike woke with thoughts of Thanksgiving filling his head. He hated to dream of that more than anything else because it had happened and he had done nothing about it. He had let her slip away.
As he became more aware that he was awake he heard what had woken him, it was the god damn cell phone Dawn had bought him for Christmas. He hated it but it made her feel safe so he used it.
"Hello." he answered.
"Spike it's me Buffy, you have to get to the hospital now."
