Physical & Emotional
CHAPTER TEN
It had been a week since the whole Spiderman thing and things had just got even more confusing for Buffy, Spike had given them all presents.
Well apart from her.
Tonight they were going to see Dawn, Jordan and William have dinner and talk about how cute William was. Spike was bad for it, all he talked about was how cute William was and how clever, he'd fallen head over heels for the kid. Even more so than he had with Dawn.
"Spike, you better not be habouring any gifts, Dawn told you no more." Buffy told Spike as she pushed in her gold earrings.
"Fine they can wait, but I saw these cute little boots like mine and I had to buy them." Buffy gave him a look.
"Why are you buying all this stuff? And not just for Will but for everyone?" She asked hoping this time he wouldn't just change the subject.
"I haven't bought that much, anyway they deserve it. Last year Xander and Anya bought me a discman for Christmas and I got them nothing. And it makes me feel good, see totally selfish pet."
He heard Buffy huff, he knew that all the presents were bothering her, she grumbled under her breath.
"What was that?" He asked.
"Well I bought you a DVD, and yet you haven't given me anything." Her voice louder and more urgent than before, "Bet you got Dru gifts." she quietly added so he wouldn't hear.
Spike started to laugh and Buffy pouted, she was bothered because he hadn't bought her anything. Women you think you understand them, then bang they change the rules.
"Want to know why I never got you anything?" He asked her. She just nodded like a child in a sulk.
"Well I didn't want you to think that I was trying to buy you, didn't think you'd like that too much pet. But I did get you things, I just left at my crypt so when I thought you'd like them I could give them to you. Want me to go get them now love?" Spike explained, Buffy's pout suddenly turned into a big grin as she nodded her head in anticipation.
Spike kissed her on the head and left the house.

It seemed like Spike was taking forever, Buffy sat at the dining table wondering what he'd got her. He really was the best boyfriend ever, bothering to consider how she would feel about being showered in gifts.
Suddenly a phsyical pain shot through her head and what felt like an emotional pain shot through her heart.
Images were flashing in her minds eye, images of things that had happened. She saw Spike beaten up in the alley by the police station, she saw demon eggs in his crypt. She saw him with his guest at Xander and Anya's first wedding.
The emotion was to much, she was sobbing, She felt betrayed and hurt in a way that she never had been before, but yet it felt familiar.
An image of her and Spike in the bathroom upstairs came to her, she never remembered that scene but she could feel her own fear.
Buffy was shaking as she saw Spike grab her, she knew what he wanted to do. The emotional pain, it pounded through her body.
An arm grabbed her and she was sreaming, then she realized that Spike was there asking her what was wrong.
She looked into his eyes and saw nothing but love. She wanted to ask him, maybe he could explain what had just happened. Part of her feared it was a prophecy, but she knew it wasn't she wasn't the young girl she'd seen anymore.
"Nothing, I just well I don't know but I'm fine. Come on we need to get to Dawn's"
"What about your present love?" He held a bag out to her.
"We'll do it later. Don't want to be late." She said trying to sound happy and excited, Spike saw right through it but thought it was best to leave it until later.
Buffy grabbed her coat and headed for the door, she didn't wait for Spike. The feeling of fear and hurt still fresh in her.
She looked at Spike, he would never do that to her and yet she had a slight nagging feeling inside, warning her. But at the same time a wave of relief and forgiveness washed over her.
She didn't understand it and she couldn't shake it off. Spike drapped his arm over her shoulder as they left the house, she flinched. Something was very wrong and she was going to find out what.
