So Spike what are you planning for tonight," Cordelia asked as they walked to the jewellery store.
Spikes hand was lightly shaking as he followed Cordy down the street. "Umm I don't know, I am so nervous, I am the big bad I don't get nervous, but I am. She's probably going to say no anyway"
"Yeah if she's stupid"
"I wish I had your confidence"
"Its going to be fine so what's happening tonight then" she asked eagerly.
"I was going to take her out to dinner, its not the most original thing but that's all I got, know anywhere I can take her"
"No it's a great idea, I heard of this great new place called Amore, you'll love it"
Spike started laughing. "You do know, what you said right, you said its called love you'll love it. If its called love then it's the perfect place then"
"Good, now are you telling Buffy that your taking her out cause she's probably going to need something to wear"
"No" Spike shouted. "I don't want her to know, I'll tell her at the last minute, I bought her a dress in Sunnydale, I have been looking for the right time to give it to her"
"That's so sweet' she said smiling then she quickly frowned. " How do you know its going to fit?"
Spike put on a cheeky grin "I have been watching her body for the last 5 years, it'll fit"
Cordy cringed "ewww I so don't wanna know. So if Buffy is sorted what about you"
"What about me" he asked irritated.
"We need to fix you up"
"We bloody well do not"
Cordy stopped in the middle of the street and put her hands on her hips.
"Do you want to marry Buffy or not"
Of course he wanted to marry Buffy but what extremes would he have to go.
"Yes" he said defeated.
"Good" she said grabbing his arm and pulling him into the jewellery store. "Cause after this we are going to the hairdresser"
Cordy ran from case to case Ohing and Ahhing pointing at rings she liked. Spike just stood in the doorway shocked at the idea of going to the hairdresser. The elderly shopkeeper walked over to the excited Cordy.
"Can I help you mam" he asked
"Umm yeah were looking for an engagement ring"
"Congratulations" he said.
Cordelia looked up and started laughing. "Oh its not for me its for him" she said pointing to Spike.
The shopkeeper looked at Spike confused.
"It's for me girlfriend," he said walking over to them. "She's 'elping me pick one"
"Oh" the shopkeeper said finally understanding. "Well the lady here has picked the right case, this is where we keep our traditional wedding and engagement rings although we have a great range of other rings that would be appropriate for the occasion"
Spike looked down at the case, Cordy was right they were nice. Big diamonds or clusters of diamonds, but nothing that would suit Buffy. They would all get caught or destroyed if she slayed in them and he didn't want her to take it off. Spike frowned unhappily at the case.
"Is there a problem sir"
Spike shrugged.
"Well they are nice but my girlfriend is very active and well she'd get them caught"
The shopkeeper nodded. "Yes I understand, well like I said we have many appropriate rings, ill show you some inset rings. That means the diamonds are sort of pressed into the gold"
Spike nodded and headed over to the case with Cordy glumly following. She liked the rings with the huge stones. Spike smiled as soon as he got to the case and saw the rings. There were only a few rings like the man described but they were good. Spike saw a flash of greeny, blue and took a closer look.
"That one"
The shopkeeper frowned a little. Spike looked between the shopkeeper and Cordelia and saw the disappointed look on both their faces.
"What" he asked
"Nothing really, its just yeah there is a diamond in the middle but there are other stones in it" Cordy said frowning.
"Sapphire and emerald dear"
"I like it, can I take a look at it"
The Shopkeeper pulled out the ring and handed it to Spike. "Its called family, parents usually buy it for their daughter for graduation. The coloured stones are seen as the parents and the Diamond is the daughter"
"Its perfect" Spike said happily.
"Are you sure" Cordy asked.
"Yep, I am the sapphire, Buffys the emerald"
"So who is the diamond" Cordy asked.
"Dawn, she's what brought us together"
"Do you really want her on the ring though"
"Wouldn't have it any other way, she's my family"
Cordy smiled "You really love them don't you"
Spike looked at her with a goofy grin "I'd do anything for them"
"Ok we'll take it then, now come on we need to get you to the hair dresser"
"What"
