I watched her silently from my seat on top of the courthouse. Did she know how much I cared about her? No, she couldn't. For I had just adimitted my feelings for her. I whispered my thoughts into the dark night and let the wind take them away. Yet she still played in the moonlight. Silently allowing the light breeze to move her long hair.
"Love?" said out loud, causeing her to turn and look up at where I watched her from above.
"What is it, Baby?"
"Come here Dru. We need to talk."
I watched her as she climbed up the fire escape and unto the roof. Her skirt blowing in the wind.
"Spike, we only have an hour till sun-rise ."
"I know."
I put my arm around her as she sat down beside me.
"Shouldn't we be heading back to the grave yard?"
"Later, Right know I have something I need to tell you."
"What is it?"
Before she could turn her head away from me I pressed my lips up to her's. Her eyes went wide for only a second before she relaxed and kissed me back.
Of course I had kissed her before and she had kissed me back before, but this time was different.
I pulled away slowly.
"Let's go home love."
"Ok, baby, but what did you want to tell me?"
"That I love you."
"Realy?" she said as she took my hand and led me off the roof. All I could do was nod.

While we were on our way back to the graveyard, Drusilla stopped walking and sat down on a park bench for no reason.
"Love, come on. we've only got fifteen minutes till sun up."
"Spike? Can I stay with you in your coffin while it's day light?" She sounded almost ashamed at her words.
"Dru, silly. You stay in my coffin everyday." Why would she ask me that?
"That's not what I mean. I meant could we........mabey......." she stopped and started playing with the lace on her skirt.
"Dru? Mabey what?" she wasn't thinking what I thought she was thinking, was she?
"...mabey...stay in there........'together'." she looked up at me. Her eyes begging me for understanding.
I sat down next to her and pulled her into a hug.
"You mean you want to sleep with me, Right?"
"Spike, I understand if you don't want to. It's just that I love you too and I can't stand this feeling I have inside. I just want you to love me."
I laughed inside. She was defenantly rambling again, like she did soo many times.
"Sshhhhhhh....." I pressed a finger up to her lips. "Anything you want, Love."
I leaned in to kiss her, but as soon as our lips toughed the sun broke the horison.
"SPIKE!!" she screamed as she felt its warmth.
Without thinking I picked her up in my arms and ran towards the cemetary.
"Almost there, Love. Almost there."
Jumping over the fence, I pushed open our tomb and layed her inside.
"We were safe, safe from the rising sun. No more worrys my love."
It was then that I noticed that, scene I had put her in the coffin before me, I was leaning over her. Instead of the way we usally slept in the cofffin. With her head rested on my chest.
"Do you still want to do this?"
She closed her eyes and kissed me. I guess I can take that as a yes.
I alowed her to deepen the kiss untill I became soo weak I was glad to be laying down.
"Dru............" I couldn't finish.

When I wroke up the next night, it was like it was all a dream. She was laying on top of me with her head on my chest like she always had. The only differnce was that this time her arms were around my waist and coffin smelled of blood and alters.
"Dru...I love you."
"I love you too, Baby."


A.N. The blood and alters thing was from the book 'Lost Souls' by Poppy Z. Brite. In the book blood was well....blood and the Alters was semon. Hey give me a break! It was a vampire book!
