Til there was you

Chapter 5 (sorry it took so long)

The stake was inches away from Spike's heart when Angel's eyes widened and his stake fell to the floor and tumbled away. Angel looked down at his leg and there was an arrow in it. Angel got out of the lock he was holding Spike in and they both turned to see who had shot the arrow.

Buffy was standing there holding a crossbow.

" Sorry I was late" Buffy said as she walked towards Spike keeping the crossbow aimed at Angel.

" That's ok luv, me and Angel here were just playing." Spike said as he smirked towards Angel. Buffy and Spike slowly kissed. Knowing that Angel was watching them.

Buffy turned to face Angel and punched him " That is for you leaving me"

She then kicked his stomach hard. " That is for coming back and this.." She said kneeing him in the balls. " Is for Spike."

Angel was now on the floor. One hand holding his crotch and the other holding his stomach.

" Why Buffy? Why do you love him?" Angel said looking at Buffy. She didn't answer but instead kicked him while he was down, grabbed Spike's hand and walked off.

Spike and Buffy walked in silence to the magic box. When they got there, everyone was still seated around the table. Everyone fell silent as the entered.

" Ok" Buffy said as she slowly sat down with Spike next to her." I guess you guys want to know everything, firstly me and Spike are together so deal with it, get over it and move on. And I'm late because I ran in on Angel about to dust Spike so I kinda had to shoot Angel in the leg with a cross- bow." Buffy said as she did alittle smile and looked at everyone.

" Well, congratulations for shooting Angel" Dawn said. Buffy suddenly turned to her with a glare.

" If it wasn't for you we wouldn't be in this mess" Buffy said still glaring at Dawn.

" We've been through this" Dawn replied.

" Well Buffy, I like Spike alot more than Angel so I'm glad your sticking with Spike" Xander said. Everyone agreed and nodded their heads." And since when did you like Spike?" Xander asked.

" I never did like him, I went from hating him straight to loving him. I kinda skipped the just like part" Buffy said. Spike was so shocked at the mention of these words.

Later that night: Buffy's house

"Shut up" Dawn yelled listening to them loudly make out in the kitchen." We should get the kitchen sound proofed or something" Dawn said muttering to herself.

In the kitchen neither of them had heard Dawn and were still making out against the fridge. Buffy pulled back to catch breath.

" I love you" Spike said softly to Buffy.

" Thanks" Buffy said as they went back to kissing.

Later that night Buffy and Spike were in bed. Buffy had her head on Spike's chest and was playing with Spike's fingers.

She then turned so she was facing him and started kissing him. Spike tilted her head and looked at her. He slowly licked his lips and then slowly and softly bit into Buffy's neck. He had marked her as his. She didn't feel any pain instead she felt pleasure.

Outside in the cemetery Angel and a young blond man were having a secretive talk.

" I will destroy anything that gets in my way of Buffy, that you can be certain about.

Spike is the one in the way so I want you to give him a slow and painful death" Angel said with an evil grin.

" Er but sir, If I will, wouldn't it be easier to cast a love spell on Buffy-"

"No! I refuse to put any spell on her, anyway why would she need a love spell, she already loves me, she's just confused that is all" Angel said while pacing back and forth.

" Ofcourse, When do you want me to do it, I will be able to torture him better than any spell I know of. I can play with the light." The vampire grinned at the thought.

" Fine ,you do it then as long as you do a good job. You will get paid but it better be good. The slayer is protecting him at the moment, So we should wait a couple of nights and it would be so much easier. In the mean time I will have a talk with them when they come to patrol." Angel said as he started towards Spike's cemetery.

Spike and Buffy left the house soon after Spike had marked her. She slowly walked to the cemetery with Spike's Arm around her shoulder and her arm around his waist.

When they got there they simply walked around in circles for abit.

" Lookey what I've found." Angel said coming out from behind them.

" What do you want?" Buffy said irritated.

" Well, I came to apologise. I was being so stupid. I'm just jealous of what you've got together. I'm so sorry." Angel looked Buffy in the eye.

" Apology accepted but no more funny stuff with Spike or me. ok?"

" Yeah deal" Angel said as Buffy and him embraced in a hug. Angel them became intrigued with Buffy's neck. It had a vampire's bite mark on it.

" What's this? Is this Spike?" Angel said.

" Yep I did it" Spike said holding Buffy.

" You marked her? as yours?" Angel had anger building up inside him.

Spike nodded. Angel turned and ran into the night. " Tomorrow night, Spike's time is up"

Buffy and Spike walked into the magic box where Willow, Xander, Anya and Dawn were gathered chatting.

" Yeah you guys ,what ya doing?" Buffy asked.

" Not much"

" Good, you guys wanna come back to mine for a movie and a chat then?"

Everyone agreed. They packed up there bags and headed out locking the door behind them. They didn't encounter any vamps, which Buffy found unnerving. When they entered the house they found a small envelope addressed to Spike.

He opened it and read it.

It said: YoUr TiMe Is NeArLy uP.

Everyone looked at each other in complete confusion.
