ENDING FIVE
"God, I'm probably going to regret this but.... I wish that Buffy would tell me how she really feels about me."
Melina gasped at Spike and then smiled, she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, then held her forehead to his, their noses touching, their eyes closed and replied, "Done."
Buffy had, had enough of this, she stormed over to Spike and the girl sitting at the table, even though she didn't know why she was so angry.
"I need to talk to you." Buffy didn't understand why she all of a sudden felt compelled to tell Spike what she felt about him.
"Spike my work here is done." Melina whispered into his ear, she kissed his gently on his lips and then gave Buffy one last look before she left.
"Yes Buffy?"
"There so much that I want to say but I don't ..." Buffy began.
"Just say it Buffy."
"Fine" She paused swallowing hard before she continued. "Spike I know that I was pretty cruel to you the other day and well .... I ... I just wanted to tell you that you were right about somethings."
Spike waited for her to continue.
"We do have something here. God I can't believe that I'm saying this. You're right, it's not pretty but it is there." She drew a deep breath and continued. "It's just that, you and me would be more complicated that me and Angel. And Angel and I were complicated, enough to last a lifetime. No matter what feeling I may have for you they can't ever see the light of day. And I won't lurk in the shadows anymore. My heart been stomped on, stepped on and kicked. I really can't go through that right now. I'm sorry."
Buffy turned to leave, but Spike grabbed her arm.
"Fine then, a dance. It's all I ask."
Buffy passively agreed as Spike led her to the dance floor. As soon as the song began to play Spike wondered if Melina had requested it for him.
What's it gonna be
Cuz I can't pretend
Don't you wanna be more than friends
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go
Have the right to loose control
Don't let go
Buffy kept a safe distance from the vampire not wanting to give the wrong idea.
I often tell myself
That we could be more than just friends
I know you think that if we move to soon
It would all end
I live in misery when you're not around
And I won't be satisfied 'till we're taking those vows
There'll be some lovemaking heartbreaking soul shaking
Oh lovemaking heartbreaking soul shaking
Spike smiled as the words were sung clearly reflected his
feelings.
What's it gonna be
Cuz I can't pretend
Don't you wanna be more than friends
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go
Have the right to loose control
Don't let go
I often fantasize
The stars above are watching you
They know my heart and speak to yours
Like only lovers do
If I could wear your clothes
I'd pretend I was you and lose control
Buffy moved closer toward Spike resting her head on his chest.
There'll be some lovemaking heartbreaking soul shaking
Oh lovemaking heartbreaking soul shaking oh yeah
What's it gonna be
Cuz I can't pretend
Don't you wanna be more than friends
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go
Have the right to loose control
Don't let go
Running in and out my life has got me so confused
You gotta make the sacrifice
Somebody's got to choose
We can make it if we try for the sake of you and I
Together we can make it right
Buffy swallowed hard as the words of the bridge resonated in her mind.
What's it gonna be
Cuz I can't pretend
Don't you wanna be more than friends
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go
Have the right to loose control
Don't let go
I said that you've got the right to loose control yeah
Don't let go
Don't let go cause I can't take it
Spike rested his chin on top of her head.
What's it gonna be
Cuz I can't pretend
Don't you wanna be more than friends
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go
Have the right to loose control
Don't let go
Loose control yeah
What's it gonna be
Don't let go
Don't let go
As the song ended Spike could hear her heart pounding in her chest. She looked up at him confused and walked back toward the gang who looked absolutely flabbergasted at the Slayer.
Spike smiled to himself and whispered to himself, "I'm not giving on you Buffy."
The End.
