"I'm not just going to go away luv." Spike smiled.
"Would you stop calling me that?!" Buffy exclaimed.
"We've been through this pet, you say that you don't love me, but I don't know if you're being honest with yourself."
"Get the hell out of my house." Buffy commanded him. Dawn was outside Buffy's door listening to every word that they were saying.
Spike was going to say something else to Buffy, but he turned his head and looked out the window. "Who's Viper?" Spike asked noticing it parked down the street from where Buffy lived. "I didn't think anyone in this neighborhood could afford something like that." Spike continued.
"Me either…" Buffy said, with suspicion growing in her voice.
"Should we go check it out?" Spike asked Buffy.
"I should. Stay here with Dawn, don't let her go anywhere until I get back." Buffy replied. Spike nodded, Dawn could tell Buffy was about to leave her room so she silently ran back to her own bedroom.
"Dawnie!" Buffy called as she left her room.
"Yeah?" Dawn asked stepping into the hallway wearing something considerably better than before.
"Outfit's better. Anyway hang on before you decide to go anywhere, could be a big bad lurking outside. I've got to check it out." Buffy explained.
"Okay." Dawn softly said. Spike emerged from Buffy's room as the Slayer left the house and went outside. "When did you get here?" Dawn asked Spike.
"Second ago." Spike lied. "So Little Bit, how's school been?"
"Okay I guess." Dawn lied. "Spike. What's going on with you and Buffy?" Dawn asked.
"Nothing. Why would you say something like that?" Spike said nervously.
"I, um, nothing. Just wondered you two have been spending a lot of time together lately." Dawn lied through her teeth. The vampire and the Key stood in the silence for a moment.
Buffy came back into the house with a confused look on her face, "nothing, I didn't see anyone or anything. Just that car, but no one's outside." Buffy reported.
"That's strange. Buffy can I go now?" Dawn asked.
"Where are you going and what time will you be back?" Buffy questioned.
"Janice said we'd probably go to the Bronze or something. We should be back around 11." Dawn explained.
"I'll walk you to the Bronze Dawnie. Tara and I have a date." Willow said coming out of her bedroom.
"I have nothing to do tonight so I'll make sure you two get there okay. Then I will probably go on patrol." Buffy said. She didn't want to be alone with Spike anymore than she had to; she was scared of what might happen.
Willow, Dawn and Buffy all left for the Bronze and Spike left the Summers household. They parted ways and Spike walked toward the graveyard.
Spike stood outside his crypt waiting for Buffy to come out on patrol. He heard footsteps; he thought it was Buffy, Spike looked around. When he turned back a girl with brassy blonde hair was standing directly in front of him.
"Spike?" She asked.
"Who wants to know?" Spike wondered. He quickly looked around, seeing the Dodge Viper parked at the graveyard. 'Must be hers, who ever she is.' Spike thought.
"I do. I know you know something about the Slayer and I want to know what it is." The girl said.
"I don't even know the Slayer, what are you talking about?" Spike lied.
"Yes you do I am not stupid, you are in love with her." The girl smiled.
"How did you know that?" Spike asked.
"I just told you I'm not stupid. And besides I was listening to your conversation at her house."
"That was bloody private!"
"Calm down vampire. I can help you."
"How?"
"Give me what I want and I'll make her love you." The girl smiled.
"What do you want?" Spike asked. This deal was sounding better and better to him.
"Look vampire, the Slayer is coming. If anyone asks this never happened, you were just out here smoking. I know where to find you we will talk later. Bye." The girl said getting into her car and driving to the nearest hotel as quickly as she came.
"Would you stop calling me that?!" Buffy exclaimed.
"We've been through this pet, you say that you don't love me, but I don't know if you're being honest with yourself."
