Chapter 5
The next morning Buffy woke up at 10 and layed in her bed. She needed time to think about what had happened last night. She was having a great time with her friends and Spike even if he couldn't dance to well. The kiss was the problem, she thought he had gotten over that by now. The thing that worried her more is that she didn't object to it, she could have pushed him away but didn't. If he hadn't said sorry she wouldn't have been mad at him, it had been a long while since she had been kissed like that. That was the problem she really liked it. She thought all those years of missing him was about losing a friend maybe it was more. Buffy finally decided to get out bed and go downstairs for breakfast. When she got to the kitchen she saw Spike was already sitting at the table with a mug of blood in his hands, he was looking into the mug as if it were the most fascinating thing he had ever seen.
"Must be some interesting blood, can I see" she said walking over to him trying to act cool.
"Huh what umm no just thinking"
Buffy picked up his mug and saw that it was empty. "You want a refill," she said pulling out the last of the blood.
"Yeah I guess"
"Whoops, almost out, well I'll get you some more today" she said handing him the mug. "I am going to be out all day ok, I've got some food shopping to do and some errands to run and I might go see Will and Tara as well so I'll be home late ok"
"Yeah sure, you want some money"
"Nah that's ok you still have guest status for a few more days. Oh if you get bored there is a list of jobs I have been hired to do, everything you need to know is on the list just take one of the cards by the phone when you collect the cash ok"
Spike nodded and Buffy walked outside and got in her car and drove straight to Will and Taras. She really needed to tell someone about what happened and she didn't think Xander would understand, not to mention he had just warned her Spikes crush. When she got there she banged on the door.
"Will, Tara are you home" she called desperately
Tara came to the door. "Hey Buffy what's up is everything ok"
"I so need to talk to you guys is Will here?" she asked walking in the door flailing her arms
"Yeah come in shes in the lounge room, umm why are you in your pyjamas still"
Buffy looked down at her self then shook her head, she hadn't changed. Buffy walked in and went up to Willow raking her hand nervously through her hair.
"Buffy what's wrong"
"Spike kissed me" she blurted out then sank down on the couch.
"What" both Willow and Tara asked shocked.
"He kissed me" she said a little more relieved she had finally got it out.
"Where, when" Willow asked pulling a chair over to Buffy and sitting on it not wanting to miss any juicy bits.
"Last night at the Bronze after you guys left, everything was going great we were slow dancing then he kissed me"
"What you do," Tara asked intrigued
"I just let him kiss me, I completely melted"
"Then what happened"
"He apologised, he said sorry and that it should never have happened"
"Well that's good right" Willow asked "He knows it was wrong, what's the big deal"
"Did you miss the part where I said I completely melted"
"Well hello an extremely hot guy, according to anya, kissed you, you were bound to be phased"
"I'm scared he will leave" Buffy blurted out
"What" Willow and Tara asked confused
"He was all weird, kept trying to apologise, we agreed to forget about it, but I get this feeling hes going to leave. You should have seen him this morning I don't know how long he had been sitting there but I am guessing awhile. He just looked deep in thought, when have we ever seen Spike thinking, guys what if he leaves "
"Buffy what are you saying, you really want him to stay don't you"
Buffy looked up at them sincerely "I really missed him I didn't realise how much till he got back, I couldn't bare it if he left so soon, I cant let him leave on bad terms again"
"Well does he know this, he probably thinks you hate him or something I mean what was your reaction when he apologised"
"Umm I walked away, I just got so annoyed that kiss really awakened something in me and he called it a mistake, I don't hate him Willow"
"Buffy do you care for him" Tara asked finally understanding
"Would you guys hate me if I did"
They both shook their heads
"When he kissed me it felt right you know, I just melted, I dunno maybe it was because I was so hot from dancing and his lips were so cold" she said drifting off thinking about the kiss
"Buffy if you care about him and want him to stay show him that you care do something for him".
"He knows I want him to stay I said he didn't have to pay for the blood I am going to buy today because he still has guest status for a day or to more"
"Buffy more than that, if you seriously want to make something of this you have to show him you at least like him, do something nice for him"
Buffy thought for a moment then smiled "Ok thanks you guys," she said getting up and hugging them. "I gotta go do something nice"
She then stopped and turned around "Umm can I borrow some clothes
* * * * *
Buffy headed out and went to the supermarket. She did her usual food shopping then headed over to the butcher.
"Umm hi I am after some pigs blood"
"Yep how much do you need"
"Umm a lot see my grandmas got this old recipe and she making this huge banquet whole family reunion thing, you know all the rellys from the old country coming over and all".
"Sure, I'll get you as much as I've got"
"Cool"
After collecting almost 10 litres of blood, Buffy packed everything in her car. It was getting late almost 5 o'clock and she still needed to make one more stop.
"Hi I wondering if can help me I need some black paint"
"Yep sure, what do you need it for"
"Umm a dark room, you know photography, it needs to be completely dark no light at all I need to do the windows and the walls.
"Ok I think I've got what you need right here"
After buying the paint and all the supplies Buffy headed home, it had just got dark and Buffy hoped Spike wouldn't be there. Struggling into her house with all her bags Buffy looked around.
"Spike, Spike are you home"
When no reply came Buffy quickly chucked half of the stuff in the fridge and headed up to Spikes room. She quickly changed and covered his room in old sheets and quickly set to work. She firstly painted the windows making sure that no sun would get in. She then started on the ceiling and then the walls it was almost 4 in the morning when she had finished Buffy used the last of the black paint to write Spikes name on the door. She waited for it to dry before placing a note over his name.
You can't sleep in here tonight sorry, You can use my room if you want I'll be sleeping in the lounge, I'll explain later, don't go in. Buffy.
She then locked the door and headed to her room. She covered the windows and changed into some fresh pyjamas. Walking downstairs and into the kitchen Buffy grabbed some of the blood placing it in a mug and returned to her room. Placing the mug on the bedside table she grabbed an extra pillow and blanket and headed back downstairs to sleep. Just as the sun rose Spike came in the door. He placed the cash on the table by the telephone. Heading up stairs he was about to open the door when he saw the sign. What he thought shes trying to get rid of me already just bloody great. Spike headed to Buffys room and flopped down on her bed. He turned his head to the table next to him and saw the blood. He smiled and quickly grabbed it and drank it before settling in for the night.
