The satisfied vampire turned around to go home - home meaning Buffy - and bumped right into a really pissed off Slayer,
"I don't believe you two! I turn my back for 5minutes and Riley's hung from a tree by his feet! Could you be any more immature?!" Spike suddenly felt very guilty, and helped Riley down. Literally, he undid the ropes and dropped the human trying to hide his satisfaction.
"Spike! Leave him alone!"
Riley stood up and elbowed him sharply in the stomach, knocking to his knees. Buffy glared at her ex and went to see if her demonic boyfriend was alright. The vampire rubbed his midriff and allowed Buffy to help him to his feet,
"How did you know where we were?"
"Your theatrical whispering on the phone kinda gave it away."
"Right."
She glared at the men, and both knew whatever she said next she meant it, and if they crossed her they'd be puppy chow.
"You two stay away from eachother! And Riley, you stay away from me! I'm not through being mad with you for going out with that bitch Melissa Hassen!"
Riley began to stutter,
"How did y - "
"Do you think your suddenly chummy behaviour would escape un-noticed?!" Then she turned on Spike, "And *you*! You turned 203 this year! You couldn't have been any more immature if you'd tried!"
The vampire hung his head in shame,
"Sorry, love."
She grabbed his wrist and dragged him home, leaving Riley on the floor, rubbing his head.
The Slayer and her new borfriend sat at opposite ends of the couch. Spike bit his lip, she wouldn't talk to him.
"You know I only did it for you ,Pet."
She wasn't going to answer him, she just stared at the television where Romeo was currently wooing Juliet from the ground beneath her window. Spike turned to face Buffy, his arms held out beseechingly,
"Buffy love, you know I wouldn't have done anything like that if I hadn't thought it worth my attention!"
This time she answered, voice dripping with anger. She was furious,
"But you *didn't* think it was worth it! I saw the whole thing Spike! You didn't want to fight but you did to prove you were better than Riley!"
Spike mumbled to himself,
"Well I am. But she deserves better than this."
He stood up and retired to his bed in the basement, not realising Buffy had heard. She felt ashamed at herself, she knew really that Spike had done it for her. And she knew that Spike *was* better than Riley, in more ways than one.
