This Isn't Me

Chapter 3
Buffy woke the next morning feeling weird. She oddly felt safe and relaxed which was usual considering she was lying in a vampires bed. Her bed at home was a scary place for her and made her dread the nighttime. Buffy got out of bed and walked into the main part of the apartment. She walked into the kitchen and saw Spike stirring something on the stove. Buffy scrunched her nose up.
"That's not blood is it"
Spike jumped in the air then turned and looked at Buffy.
"Sodden hell luv you nearly gave me a heart attack"
"Hate to break it to you Spike but your kinda already dead"
"Ha ha Slayer, very funny, so what are you doing out of bed so early" he inquired. She looked a lot healthier and happier.
"Its like 11, I am not allowed to stay in bed any later than 7 Riley's rules"
"Yeah well luv your not at your house, your at Casa di Spikes, you can sleep as long as you want"
"Nah that's ok I'm not tired any more, so is that blood"
Spike smiled "Nope chocolate, you want some it should be ready in a couple of minutes"
Buffy nodded and took a seat at the table and began to get a good look at the kitchen. It had everything in it that a normal kitchen would. Fridge, stove, cupboards, sink, sink with dirty dishes on it and a phone. Buffy stared at the phone; she wasn't allowed to use it after the last incident. Spike noticed her looking at the phone and smiled.
"Do you wanna call some one luv"
Buffy looked up shocked, she hadn't realised how obvious she must have looked.
"Umm no that's ok" she replied timidly.
"Its ok luv you can use the phone, I'm am not going to hurt you ok"
"Well I would like to call Xander he must be really worried"
"Go ahead" he said turning back to the chocolate.
Buffy slowly picked up the phone but then dialled quickly in excitement. After a few rings the phone picked up.
"Hello" came a male voice.
"Hi Xander it's me Buffy"
Spike smiled when he heard the whelps excited voice, someone was happy to hear her. He tried to ignore the conversation but it was hard with vampire hearing.
"Oh my god Buffy how are you I have been so worried, you haven't called in ages I thought something might have happened to you"
"No Xander I am fine"
"Your not going to get in trouble for being on the phone are you, I mean Riley's not around is he"
"No umm I am not at home Riley and I had a fight last night, so I am staying at Sp.., umm I mean umm a friends"
"Good Buffy you cant go back to him"
"I have to Xander he's my husband"
Spike scoffed and Buffy looked up and glared at him.
"Can you hold on for a second Xander" Buffy didn't wait for a reply before she covered the phone with her hand.
"What" she barked.
"You're not going back to him luv"
"Excuse me"
"I said your not going back to him luv, he'll kill you"
Buffy shrank back into her chair and held the phone tightly. Spike noticed the scared look on Buffys face.
"I didn't mean it like that slayer, its just how can you go back to the wanker.
"Cause I have no choice"
"Don't give me that shit slayer you have plenty of choices"
"Oh yeah like what" she yelled getting angry.
"Well umm living with the whelp"
"I can't do that hes got his own family and I don't know how to survive on my own "
Spike thought for a second then smiled. "You could stay here, just until you figure things out"
Buffy looked at him surprised "are you serious"
Spike Nodded "Well if it means you don't go back to that wanker then yeah I am serious"
Buffy looked at him for a second then turned back to the phone.
"Hey Xander it looks like I am going to stay here for a couple of days"
Spike turned the chocolate down because it was over flowing and poured it into two cups. He set one in front of Buffy then grabbed a pen and paper and wrote something down and handed it to Buffy.
Buffy looked at the paper and saw there was a phone number on it. Spike quickly exited the room giving her some privacy.
"Umm yeah Xander I have got a phone number right here"
Spike sat in the lounge room sipping his chocolate and waited for Buffy to finish. After a few minutes she came into the room with her chocolate in her hand.
"Sorry I don't have much food in the house luv"
"That's ok this is great"
"You call go ok"
Buffy nodded.
"Need to call anyone else"
Buffy shook her head.
Spike rolled his eyes "Luv I think you should call Angel"
"What why" she asked shocked.
"Cause the cape crusader is probably worried about you"
"Is that ok I mean I know you to don't get along"
"Yeah its ok luv the poof and I have come to some sort of understanding go call him."
Buffys face lighted up with a smile before she ran off in the direction of the phone.
