This Isn't Me

Chapter 7
Spike waved the scissors around Buffys head and watched her laugh.
"Spike I cant see your reflection so it looked like the scissors are possessed"
"You sure you want me to do this luv, I mean I have cut hair before, Drusilla made me but she wasn't handy with a stake, just the wips and chains"
"I trust you Spike, and ewww"
"Hey take that back" he asked annoyed.
Buffy laughed. "What the I turst you or the ewww"
Spike frowned, he was supposed to choose.
"I am serious, now come on cut it"
Spike held the scissors to her hair then began to move it up. "Tell me where luv"
"I want it just a little below my ear"
"Are you sure" he asked raising his eyebrows which she couldn't see.
"Yep now cut it all off"
Spike grabbed a few strands of hair then cut it. He closed his eyes and winced waiting for the Slayer to yell at him.
"Well come on fang breath keep going"
Spike looked up and saw Buffys smiling face. "Ok luv" he said grabbing more hair.
"Why are you doing this spike?" she asked.
"Cause your hair looked stupid" he said cutting off her brown long locks.
"No not the hair, well yes the hair, but just everything, letting me buy food and clothes and staying here, I mean why, your supposed to be like my arch nemesis, your like my Darth Vader" she said putting on a deep voice.
Spike laughed. "Yeah well, you know I hate you right, well I hate that wanker even more, and you can't kill your enemy if there down right"
"Why not I threatened you heaps of times, what's the real reason"
Spike sighed "Alright I'll tell you, but I am going to come off as such a bloody poof, so you cant laugh alright"
"Alright" she agreed.
"Its cause of your mum"
"My mom" Buffy asked surprised.
"Yeah, when I came back after Drusilla dumped me, your mum listened to me, remember she wouldn't let Angel in. She was a nice lady reminded me of my mum a little. If she knew I let you get hurt well I can just imagine the swinging axe"
Buffy laughed "Yeah she did like you, the axe was kinda funny too"
Spike cut the last few strands of her hair then stepped back to examine it.
"So what do you think Slayer"
Buffy turned from side to side looking in the mirror. "Yeah it looks good," she said trying to see if she could put her hair in a ponytail.
Spike looked at the back of her neck strangely. "What's this?" he asked looking at a cluster of pinpricks.
"What" she asked trying to see it in the mirror.
Spike touched the area and Buffy winced and so did Spike.
"Oh that, we think it's an allergic reaction to something, maybe a shampoo"
"I think we have found out why you are weak Slayer, these are needle pricks"
Buffys face paled "Are you sure" she stuttered
Spike nodded, and Buffy began to shake.
"Its alright luv" he said rubbing her arms. "Your alright now, we'll make sure your alright, ok. I'll take you to the hospital tonight, to make sure its nothing ok"
Buffy shook her head. "They will see my scratches and ask questions"
"Listen to me luv, it's the only way your going to get back to you ok"
Buffy nodded.
"Alright then luv, I know a guy at the hospital I'll see if he can get you in. I'll leave you to do the rest of your hair".
Spike walked out and Buffy heard him pick up the telephone. As she began to cover her head in way to much bleach, she thought about how her life had changed in less than 24 hours. She remembered how she felt when she came to and saw Spikes face. She felt relieved which oddly scared her. She had chosen to go with Spike, a vampire who may or may not still be chipped then go with her husband. The fact that Spike had helped her out was just as surprising. She honestly trusted Spike, he was so caring. She knew he loved Drusilla and saw how they were together, but this was different. He was showing genuine concern for someone he shouldn't. He was the only one who she could depend on now and the thought didn't scare her. She knew she had a place to stay if she wanted it, vampires were supposed to sleep during the day, so maybe she wouldn't see him that often. The sleeping arrangements were the only thing she found a problem, he said he would work something out, but she didn't like the idea that he had to sleep on the couch when it was his home. Buffy was shaken out of her thoughts when she heard Spike talking to her.
"So luv have you thought any more about staying" he asked from the lounge
Buffy put the finishing touches on her hair before heading out to the lounge.
"Umm yeah I have, this place seems really nice and I would like to stay if that's alright, then I'll look into a place of my own maybe"
Spike smiled "What made you make up your mind"
"I dunno, I got a bit more of a look of the town today and its nice, so are the people. Mrs. Weavers really nice, she wants us to come over to dinner one night"
Spike looked confused.
"Oh I talked to her on the way back from the shops" Buffy suddenly noticed that Spike was drawing something on the paper in front of him.
"What's that you're drawing"
Spike quickly covered it up as if not realising he was drawing in front of her.
"Umm nothing, look I am going to take a quick shower if you are done with the bathroom for now"
Buffy nodded and Spike quickly scurried away to his room then left it a few minutes later for the bathroom. Curiosity got the better of Buffy and she ran into Spikes bedroom and began looking for the picture. She began going through his drawers but only found millions of black shirts. Buffy looked around the room then looked under the bed and found what she was looking for. She picked it up and sat on the bed examining it. It was a picture of a girl. Spike walked into the room and saw Buffy with the picture.
"I guess I am not good at hiding things then huh"
Buffy looked up at him shocked "Umm yeah, shes beautiful.
Spike smirked "Your not modest are you luv"
Buffy looked at him confused "This is me"
Spike nodded "I know I am not as good as Angelus but yeah that's you"
"But I don't look like that"
"Yeah you do luv if you smiled a little more," he said embarrassed
"So you think I am beautiful"
Spikes eyes grew wide; when Buffy said the girl was beautiful Spike didn't deny it. Spike shrugged.
"Well you know you are wearing my shirt so that is kinda a turn on, and if you were a vampire, yeah I'd date you"
Buffy smiled "I am not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not"
"Well you better I just gotta live down that I called the Slayer beautiful"
Spike walked over to a drawer grabbed a shirt then left leaving Buffy still staring at the picture.
