Chapter 16
Spike drove down the dark road towards the campsite using the directions Willow had given Buffy. Buffy was now asleep, resting her head on against Spike leg. He had told Buffy that they should leave while it was still daylight but she had wanted to wait till Angel was up before she left. Spike had no problem waking Angel up like he had the last couple of days but Buffy had insisted on letting her sleep. That meant all day he had to listen to Buffy and Cordelia talk wedding stuff. For two girls who had never been married they sure knew a lot about it. Not that he minded Buffy was happy, really happy, and that's what he wanted.
Spike took one hand off the wheel and placed it over Buffys and the ring. It had now been officially two days since he had proposed and he loved every minute of engaged life. Spike knew that this constant happiness would be short lived. Buffy had not told her friends that she was engaged, let alone that she was with Spike. When she had rang the gang she had just told them that she was brining a guy up and to organise a cabin for them to share. Spike hadn't been pissed that she hadn't told them he was actually glad. He knew facing her friends would be hard at least if Buffy got to talk to them face to face first then things might be different.
Spike was a little unsure on how his little bit would take it. He knew she was always trying to set them up. Telling him that Buffy was looking for him when she wasn't, walking out of the room when it was just the three of them. Dawn was a big part of Buffys life and he was worried that she wouldn't accept it, that maybe she should have been consulted first. He knew that Buffy had wanted to talk to here about where he would be sleeping once they got home so hopefully things wouldn't be to full on for her.
Xander and the rest of the gang would be a whole different story. Xander was an arrogant prick and would be the hardest to break if he was able to be broken at all. The demon chick probably would care either way and would be good to get her on his side so that way she could persuade Xander. Spike was sure about the two witches Red and Glenda. He didn't think they hated him or was totally in love with him either, it was sort of neutral. He figured if he promised that he wouldn't hurt Buffy while under one of their truth spells then he should be ok.
Spike saw the turn off for the campground and thought about waking Buffy up but then decided against it. He wouldn't need her help with anything all he had to do was find their cabin. Buffy had written the number down along with direction and told them were the key would be hiding. Spike began to drive between the cabins and realised how badly his car would stand out. Finally finding the right cabin Spike stopped the car outside and got out of the car. There were lights around the site so he was easily able to find the key. Spike opened the door and turned on the light inside before turning back to the car for Buffy. She was still sleeping so Spike left her and grabbed some of their bags out. Walking inside the cabin Spike noticed it was rather large especially for a cabin. The was a double bed over in one corner and a single one by the bed. It also had a few basic things like a sink and a fridge and a mini stove that formed a kitchen, along with a table and a few chairs. Spike walked over to the double bed and dumped their stuff next to it, it was now time to get Buffy out. The fact that the car door was open and there was a slight breeze now flowing through the car didn't same to faze Buffy. Spike decided to let her sleep and leaned over inside the car and tried to get her out with out disturbing her. He did but no without hitting his own head on the doorframe of the car. Spike had carried Buffy almost all the way to the door when she woke up. She sleeps through wind and coldness, the radio but she cant sleep through being carried.
"Spike what are you doing" she asked groggily.
"Carrying you over the threshold" he said smugly
Buffy was startled by his remark and tried to sit up in his arms
"What?"
"Hey it might be awhile before I get to this for real so I am practising"
Buffy relaxed back into his arms and allowed her self to be carried in.
"There me lady that wasn't so bad" he said before dumping her on the bed then walking out
"You better not do that on our wedding night" she said trying to sit up. "hey were are you going" she asked standing and following him.
"move the car"
"but dawn said we could park it in here"
Spike opened up the door to the car and got it. "I know but luv, the desoto is a dead give away, get it dead" he said smiling.
"ok but hurry back"
Spike smiled. "don't worry luv I'll be back, that ring wasn't cheap you know"
Buffy walked back to the bed and flopped down on it tomorrow was going to be a hard day. She wasn't exactly sure what she was going to tell her friends. For starters Spike was human, and huge important fact had slipped her mind. She figured they would flip over her and Spike but him being human oh god what was she to do.
Spike walked into the cabin and chucked his keys on the table. He saw Buffys worried expression.
"What's up luv"
"oh just you know tomorrow the worlds gonna end, but at least I was happy right"
"It will go fine Buffy" he said laying on the bed. "your too stressed and I know the perfect way to relieve it"
Buffy looked at Spike and saw the smile on his face.
"Oh really and hows that"
"Well I don't believe we have truly celebrated this engagement yet I believe someone didn't want to do it in Angels place but where not there now"
"Gee I don't know" she said like a virgin before pouncing on him.

Authors Note: ok sorry for the shortness but its either short chapters or long ones with those stupid ~*~ things in them. Ok so two chapters in 2 days is good right, so that means as usual not any for like maybe a weeks. A WEEK you scream, hey I am sorry but I am going to be busy planning my 20TH birthday. Omg 20 you say, yes 20 I cant believe it either, although it might be because I look like a 16 year old. So yeah if you don't see any chapters till after the 20th (*yes I turn 20 on the 20th*) that's why.
