Hearts Desire By Natalie Elizabeth

Chapter 10

Authors note: ok so I did let that one bad review really get to me. I wasn't sure about writing the story cause I thought it would be really corny and crap. And to have some one confirm my beliefs well it kinda shook me in to not writing. So ill do my best to write this chapter but I don't know how its going to go.

Buffy and Spike walked into the hotel, it was darn now, and Buffy didn't feel like testing out Spikes strength just yet.

"Your back already" Cordy asked glumly

"Yeah the slayer was tired"

"Hey" Buffy protested. " We drove all night, soon will soon creep up on you and I'll laugh when it does"

"Cordy made up two rooms upstairs Buffy if you are tired" Angel said still trying to get on her good side. Testing Spike was supposed to make Buffy forgive him for well, sniffing. She still seemed slightly annoyed though.

"No I didn't" Cordy stated

Angel looked at Cordy angrily. "Cordy I asked you to set up the rooms"

"Yeah I know I only set up one"

Angel glared at Cordy while Spike tried to hold back a laugh.

"Thanks Cordelia" Buffy said trudging up the stairs.

"Well I am going on a case Cordy" Angel didn't really want to witness anything Buffy, Spikeish and hoped they would be asleep when he got home and wouldn't have to see/hear any of it. "You coming Cordy"

"No I think I will stay"

"What?" Angel asked furious. "You were begging me last night to let you come on this one, now you don't want to"

"Yeah I think I'll stay in and do my nails"

"Whatever" Angel said fuming out of the hotel.

"You really pissed the peaches off," Spike said with a smile.

"Well you better appreciate it" Cordy said grabbing him by the arm and dragging him off to the office.

Once they were in there, Cordy shut the door and pushed Spike onto a chair. She then proceeded to sit on the desk to have a feel of authority.

"Hey, what are you doing" Spike asked a little afraid of the cheerleader.

" 'Bout what" shit was has peaches gone and done.

"Buffy"

"Look" he said standing "I am not about to listen to another lecture, I don't really care what peaches thinks"

Spike got up and was about to leave when he felt him self being pulled back.

"Just sit down and shut up for a second" Cordy said throwing him in the chair. "God what is it with you to, talk about family trait"

"Hey" Spike protested.

"Will you shut up already, I am trying to help you"

Spike softened a little. "Alright so what do I need `elp with"

"Buffy thinks you are going to leave her" Cordy blurted out.

"What?" Spike asked shocked

"You, run off, leave her all alone" Cordy spoke in short quick sentences.

"You can't be serious, Buffy knows I love her"

"Angel loved her"

"But I am not Angel"

"But, your still a guy and well that girl has issues"

Spike began to rub his eyes. "She knows my hearts desire was to be with her, other wise I wouldn't be human right now"

"Yeah but then you wanted to turn Drusilla human"

"That wasn't serious, hey she wants to turn Angel human" he said jealously.

"Yeah but she was only with Angel for like what 2 years, you have been with Drusilla since way before those clothes you wear were out of style, and Giles was the first to suggest it not her"

"But she went along with it"

"Out of obligation" Cordy yelled. She was starting to get really annoyed with him. "You telling me if this happened under different circumstances, you wouldn't want Drusilla to at least know so you could help her"

Spike slumped in his chair defeated. The cheerleader was right. He knew deep deep deep deep down inside that not telling Angel wouldn't be fair.

"You need to show Buffy you really care"

"But I do" Spike whined.

"Well she needs assurance, you dope"

"Well what the bloody hell can I do"

Cordy jumped of the desk. "I don't know you the one who is older than bread, I am just the informer, what would you do as a vampire, then translate that to human"

Spike thought for a second. "Well that's obvious, a claim" a smile grew on Spikes face. "I'll ask her to marry me"

Cordys eyes widened with shock "what" she squealed.

"A claim, marriage, why didn't I think of it before"

"Oh no no no" Cordelia rambled "that is so not what I meant"

"But its perfect, and she doesn't even have to say yes, I mean yeah I want to marry her, I just never thought of it as in it actually happening"

"I am confused," Cordy said plonking down in another chair. "You really want to marry her, but it doesn't matter if she says yes"

"Exactly"

"Huh"

"Yes, I want to make her mine, but if she says no at least she know I am in it for the long haul"

"Oh, ok" she said finally understanding

"Thanks" Spike said getting out his chair and walking out the door.

"Oh god Angel is so going to kill me"
