Fire and Passion



"well umm well..." Tara said starting to recover from her shocked state.

"Guys, I think we all need to talk" Buffy said calmly, very curious as to what

was going on.

"alright then..Buffy, luv, go get dressed and Willow, Tara and I will go make us some

Coffee and we'll meet you in the living room.." Spike said

Buffy nodded and walked into her room as he, Tara and Willow started down the stairs.

When the three reached the kitchen, Spike finally spoke.

"what is going on her witches?"

"Well you see spike, I did a spell to see the future, cause I wanted to know what would

happen to willow and I found out something" Tara said

"Yea and?"

"and I will tell you when Buffy comes down" Tara said sternly

Spike glared at her a bit and then went to making the coffee, thanking whoever that it

was night and he didn't have to avoid the kitchen window. he had already burnt himself a

bit earlier. finally after Tara, willow and spike had brought the coffee into the living room Buffy came down.

She sat down next to Spike on the couch and waited for someone to start. when no one

did she began.

"I don't know how you knew about this will, but I might as well tell you what happened,

that is unless you already know?"

"no I don't know the whole story, all I know is what Tara told me" Willow said looking

down to the floor.

"Tara? how the hell do you know?" Buffy asked

"about a week before Sweet's arrival I did a seeing spell. I wanted to know what was

gonna happen with willow and then I took a peek at yours Buffy..." Tara said ashamed

"oh, well umm I don't know what to say?" Buffy said "I suppose I should be angry but

I am not. not sure why though"

"Buffy I'm sorry, its just that when I noticed that you were distant and not your self,

I wanted to know why, I never found out you were heaven, until the thing with sweet

but please believe me I had the b-best intention"

"I know Tara." Buffy said calmly

"Anyway, about the powers' Buffy, what the fuck is going on" spike said breaking the

awkwardness.

"Well, earlier I was having trouble falling asleep, so I wrestled with my mind for awhile

until I made my decision about you and I" she said addressing Spike and then winking.

"and then suddenly I fell asleep and found myself in a room, bathed in white. Turns out it

was a meeting room of oracles or something. anyway I meet this guy named Doyle, who

I had met when I to meet Angel at thanksgiving 2 years ago, he died awhile back and the

powers' turned him into an oracle. anyway, we start to talk a bit and whistler arrives and

tells me some things" Buffy paused and then began again "and then asks me if I love you

Spike, I told him I didn't know..."Buffy told the rest of the story as the others listened

attentively. when she finished everyone was quiet.

"wow" willow said

"yea" Tara echoed.

"Joyce is ok with us?" Spike said obviously in a small state of shock.

Buffy, Tara and Willow laughed. Buffy leaned over and kissed Spike lightly on the lips.

He smiled at her in a bit of surprise and was about to speak when Tara did first.

"Buffy, there is something else, you and Spike have something that you never have had

before, am I correct?"

"yes, I never came out and said it, and I never really thought about it but...we have...

fire, and passion, its what made me decide to try this thing with you Spike. That night in

building was so passionate, it was the most....."

"I know luv, you don't need to say it" Spike said smiling.

"Building?" Willow and Tara asked at the same time.

"Long story, that, no offense, you too don't need to know" Buffy said and then laughed.

"Buffy, your...well how do I say this,...you again" Willow said overjoyed to have her

friend back to normal.

"I know will, I found a reason to live" Buffy said smiling at Spike, who's eyes were dancing

with delight.

"that's good Buffy, its great to have you back" Willow said getting up and hugging Buffy

After a few more minutes of conversation, Willow and Tara went upstairs, to go finish

packing Willow's stuff.

"well Buffy, looks like your stuck with me" Spike said smiling with a smirk.

"yea I guess so" Buffy said leaning in to him more, and pulling him into a passionate kiss

and then the phone rang. Spike growled a bloody hell and reached over and answered it.

"Hello"

*pause*

"Wow, well if it isn't the great poof, how's it going" Spike said indifferently, receiving a

light smack from Buffy.

*pause*

"what am I doing answering Buffy's phone you ask?" he said smiling at Buffy who just

tried to contain a giggle, knowing very well what Angel's reaction was.

*pause*

"Do you wanna talk to her, she's right here next to me, all snug and warm" Spike said

handing the phone to Buffy, laughing as he did.

"Hello Angel"

"Buffy, what is going on?" Angel said almost angry

"Nothing why?" she answered

"NOTHING? Spike just answered your fucking phone Buffy, and your right there!"

"So?" she said laughing as Spike began to kiss her neck.

"whatever Buffy!!!" Angel said obviously greatly annoyed.

"Not that I mind Angel, but why are you calling?" she said trying to very hard to suppress

a moan as spike nibbled on her ear.

"Its Cordy" Angel said getting right to business.

"what about her?" Buffy said a bit concerned.

"She had a vision, about you" Angel said

"uhuh??? and?"

"You were brought before the powers' and shown something were you not?" Angel

asked his voice suddenly emotional. Buffy looked at Spike and he stopped nibbling on

her neck.

"Angel, they told me, and at first I was upset, really upset actually, but now I am as much

over it as I can be. considering..." she said, starting to get upset. Spike noticed it and pulled her to him and kissed her hair not saying a word as she continued to talk to Angel. He knew that they needed to talk and he wasn't about to stand in the way. He wanted and needed Buffy happy.

"Angel, I have to come to LA in the next couple days, I'll come by and we can talk about

this then alright?"

"fine, why do you need to come to LA?"

"I have to do some business, concerning my mom" she said slightly sad, remembering what

her mom had said.

"oh, well then I'll see you then" Angel said quietly.

"ok, bye"

"bye Buffy"

and she hung up.

Spike looked at her, not saying a word, and after a minute kissed her forehead.

"I love you Buffy" he said finally.

She looked up at his face, that was full of worry and smiled slightly.

"I know..." she said quietly " I love you too Spike".

Just as he was about to say something. Dawn came through the front door. Just as Willow and Tara were leaving.

"Later Buffy, Spike..Dawn! hey we were just leaving see you later, Buffy I'll call you in the morning" Willow said in the door frame.

"your leaving willow?" Dawn asked.

"Yea I moved out..." Willow answered. She smiled at Dawn, gave her hug and left.

"So guys, what's up?" Dawn asked as she sat down on the chair across from Buffy and Spike.

Buffy and Spike looked at each other, and then Buffy spoke.

"Not much, How do you feel about you, me and Spike going to LA?"

"really Buffy?" Dawn asked surprised.

"Yea, really" Buffy said smiling at her sisters' enthusiasm.

"COOL!!" Dawn said jumping for joy "when do we go?"

"Tomorrow night" Spike said.

"ok cool" Dawn said still bubbling with enthusiasm."why are we going to LA"

"Dawn, we need to tell you something...." Buffy said

End Chapter 5.
