This Isn't Me

Chapter 15
The rest of the meal went pleasantly well. The deafening silence may have had something to do with it. When Spike finished his food he stood up and took his plate to the sink and then turned and grabbed Buffys and Angels.
"If you to want to go in the lounge and talk you can, we will discuss business tomorrow Angel alright"
Buffy looked suspiciously between Angel and Spike then shrugged and walked into the lounge room. And of course Angel followed her like a puppy. Spike roughly washed the dishes; almost braking Angels plate in the process. He was pissed off and that was putting it lightly. Sure he hated Angel and he hated the fact that he had asked him for help, but it wasn't for him it was for Buffy. The bastard had only steeped in his house for five minutes before had started yelling, the surprising this was that it wasn't at him. Spike thought for sure as soon as Angel got there that he would be knocked unconscience and Angel would steal Buffy away. When he had heard the arguing coming from the bedroom he was pleased, he knew the sleeping arrangement would piss Angel off. The thing that worried Spike more was that Buffy would be majorly pissed that Angel was there.
When Spike finished cleaning the kitchen he decided to linger trying to eves drop on their mushy conversation but all he could hear was a the dull hum of his refrigerator. Spike decided to face the music and walked in the lounge. What he saw aggravated him. Angel and Buffy were on the lounge. Angel was sitting on the right and Buffy was laying down with her head on a pillow in Angels lap. Spike walked over to the couch and realised that they were watching a movie, a repeat from the night before, Monty python.
"Umm I am gonna go out for awhile ok"
Buffy turned around and looked at Spike surprised. "No Spike, come sit and watch, its Monty python, were up to the part I saw last night come on"
Buffy moved her feet off the seat and patted the place beside her. Spike moved around the couch and sat down. He noticed that her feet were now squished, and she was unable to get conformable. Spike picked up her feet and rested them on his leg. Buffy looked over at Spike and smiled at him before stretching her legs out fully. Spike moved around for a minute trying to figure out where to put his hands. At first he kept them at his side then tried to rest one on the side but finally he layed them in his lap, on top of Buffys feet. Buffy wiggled her feet under Spikes hands and Spike took this as a note to take his hands off. Buffy looked at him and shook her head, Spike put his hands back on her feet, and she smiled then turned back to the movie. Spike turned his attention to the T.V and began to slowly rub Buffys feet, he heard Buffys heartbeat beat a little faster and smiled. As the movie was winding up Angel shook his thoughts of the movie away and began to pay attention to the girl almost a sleep in his lap. He noticed that her heartbeat was a little fast and began to worry that he had done something. He looked over her then realised that her feet were in Spikes lap and that he was massaging them. Spike was touching Buffy and he wanted it to stop without angering Buffy too much.
"Hey Buffy can you get off, my leg has gone numb and I didn't think that was possible"
Buffy sat up and stretched. "Oh well I thinks its time for bed anyway, you gonna stay Angel"
Spike nodded at Angel.
"Umm yeah I guess, where should I sleep"
Spike kicked himself for even thinking it but he knew it was the only appropriate thing to do. "You can share with Bu."
Buffy cut him off "On the couch, it's really comfortable to sleep on, Spike why don't you go to bed and I'll set Angel up here"
Spike looked at Buffy surprised, shrugged then walked to his room.
Buffy looked around the room and grabbed the throw rug off the couch. She placed it on the couch seats picked up the pillow she had been lying on and handed it to Angel.
"Well I better go to bed to ok, you know where everything is if you need anything, if you wanna go out take the keys by the door ok"
Before Angel got to speak Buffy was out of the room and into her bedroom with Spike.
