This Isn't Me

Chapter 4
Buffy came in half an hour later after finally getting off the telephone to Angel. She found Spike sitting on the couch watching T.V.
"So how did it go" he asked not looking up from the T.V.
"He agrees with Xander" she replied glumly
"Hows that"
"He thinks I should divorce Riley"
Spike finally took his eyes away from the screen and looked at her.
"And I am guessing you agree"
"For once in my unlife I actually think the Whelp and the Poof have a point"
Buffy walked over to the couch and fell into the seat. "It's not like I haven't tried, it wasn't worth the trouble" she began to rub her arm.
Spike noticed this and looked at her with worried eyes "He break ya arm"
"Yeah but it was nothing you know fast healing"
Spike nodded, a slayer breaking her arm wasn't much of a deal it would only take a few days to heal, it was the fact that Riley had done it that really pissed him off.
"So what else did the great and wonderful Angel have to say"
Buffy glared at him "He wants me to go to L.A and stay with him"
Spike sighed "And are you going"
"Why are you trying to get rid of me"
"Well slayer you know how you can be a pain" he said with a smirk.
Buffy whacked him "Hey"
"So you gonna go"
"I don't really want to, you know it would just be to awkward, but you know right now its like my only choice, cause you have all pointed out that I cant go back to Riley"
"Hey look you don't have to go to L. A you can stay here, I cant believe I am saying this slayer but I wouldn't mind your company"
"Just for a few days right"
"Well as long as you need, we worked well together, when you weren't beating me to a pulp"
Buffy looked at him slightly confused "Umm, I'll think about it"
"Good now about that divorce, it can be pricey you know, do you have any money"
"Yeah a little its in a fund Riley doesn't know about, its moms money. I told Riley that it was all used up when she was sick"
"Well we can sort that out later, first we need to make you look like your not sick luv"
"I do not look sick," she said standing up and placing her hands on her hips.
"Sure you do luv, I mean you look as pale as me, and where has all your muscle gone, you're just skin"
"Your point" she asked with a scowl on her face.
Spike got off the couch walked over to a table and picked up his wallet. He opened it and took a couple of hundred dollar notes out.
"Here luv there's a super market down the street go get your self some stuff".
"Stuff" she asked surprised.
"You know some food, women's stuff, whatever you need " he said thrusting the notes into her hands.
Buffy started laughing "Women's stuff?"
Spike looked up shocked when it suddenly dawned on him what he had just said. "No no luv not that sort of women's stuff, I meant some clothes, you know under garments" he said embarrassed.
"Thanks Spike" she said folding the money. She then looked down at what she was wearing. "Umm what am I going to wear I left my cloths on the bathroom floor they are probably all wet and dirty"
"I found a pair of sweats for you to wear last night they are sitting on the dresser"
"Thanks" she said running off into the room. After a few minutes Buffy returned wearing the grey pair of sweat pants and had now tied the black shirt up in the front. "I think I left my shoes in the bathroom"
Spike nodded.
Buffy ran off to the bathroom, then came back hopping trying to put one of the shoes on. "Umm what should I do if I see Riley"
"Hit the bastard"
"Spike, I'm serious"
"So am I" he smirked. "Look luv if your really worried here" he said picking up a mobile. "The old lady next door Mrs Weaver, she's kinda lonely, so she's taken me under her wing I would say, she gave this to me in case something goes wrong and I am not home"
"Aww has Spike become a guard dog"
"Shut up slayer she's a nice lady, just take the damn phone and if anything goes wrong call me ok"
"Alright and thanks" she said waving the money. "So where exactly is this place"
"Just head straight out the door and keep walking that way till you get to the end of the road and turn left, you'll see it"
"Thanks do you need anything, blood" she asked
"Nope just get your self some decent food, you know with some energy in it, and please get a comb, you hair looks really stupid"
Buffy rolled her eyes and headed out the door.
