Hearts Desire

Chapter 15
Buffy lay in bed looking up at the ceiling thinking about the events that had happened that night. Spike was lying next to her with his arm wrapped possessively around her. Every once in a while he would tighten his grip and let out a little growl. She knew even in his dream he was trying to protect her. Buffy held her hand up to catch the ring on the moonlight and watch it sparkle. It was so beautiful; the different colours made the ring seem more magical, like a rainbow.
Buffy put her hand down and rolled over on to her side to face spike. Buffy smiled happily, the guy laying next to her was her fiancee`, she was somebodies fiancee`. How the mind boggled. She was surprised to say the least when she opened the box and saw the note marry me. When spike put the box on the table it shocked her; in fact she actually thought the total opposite might happen, that he would dump her. She had seen way to many movies (e.g Legally Blonde) to know that guys would take their girlfriend to a nice fancy packed restaurant to break up with them so they would not make a scene. She didn't really think he would dump her but that's all she could come up with. Who would think spike would propose to her, well ok ok he did once but this was different.
Seeing the ring had actually made Buffy freeze. She had never really thought about getting married after she became the slayer. It never really came up either; most guys had a commitment phobia. She didn't know if she wanted to get married and she was worried that if she said know he would reject her. When he started talking, telling her he was never going to leave her and she didn't have to say yes made her make her decision. She loved him and he loved her. As much as the proposal would calm Buffys mind that spike wouldn't be running off anytime soon, she knew by saying yes she would be calming his mind. He was desperately seeking assurance as much as she was.
Buffy saw the happiness in his eyes when she said yes. She had never seen him so happy. Sure he had embarrassed the hell out of her but it was the worth the look of devotion shinning in his eyes.
Spike rolled over on to his back and Buffy saw this as an invitation to snuggle up to him. As soon as Buffys body touched his skin his arms came around and held her tightly to him.
He mumbled a very sleepy "I love you" before repeatedly kissing her hair then drifting off to sleep.
She could get very used to this life.

Authors Notes: ok this is meant to be short, kinda like an interlude thingy just so we know how buffy is thinking. The next chapter will hopefully be up soon. When I first posted this and Paradise I had quite a bit written up and I started putting it up while I was writing This Isnt Me. Now I am slowly wounding down on the pre written stuff so now I am liturally writing as you see it so that's why it might be a bit slow. Always looking for suggestions and if you think you would like to help me with a au fic I totally need help thanks.
