Chapter 10
The next morning Buffy woke around 11, Spike was still sleeping next to her so she decided not to disturb him. Getting out of bed and walking into the kitchen Buffy saw Dawn and Lucas cuddling in the kitchen
"So I am guessing you guys enjoyed your time alone"
Dawn and Lucas looked up shocked.
"Oh hey Buffy didn't realise you were up, have fun last night"
"Oh yeah defiantly"
"Cool what did you do"
"Well" Buffy began "We saw this hideous movie but it was so funny how pathetic it was, anyway we finished watching the movie so we decided to walk around L.A. and guess who we met".
"I dunno don't make me guess" Dawn whined
"Angel and Cordy"
"Oh god"
"Yeah I know that's what I thought I so wasn't ready to deal with him and his smarminess so Spike came up with a plan"
"And that was"
"We were fully kissing when Angel came up to us"
"Umm maybe I should leave you girls to talk" Lucas said leaving the room.
Dawn smiled then turned back to her sister "Buffy" Dawn said hitting her sister "I thought we discussed this"
"Ouch dawn, Spike kissed me, well I asked him to so he did"
"Buffy you have got to stop doing this"
"What Dawn, it was for fun, Spike almost died of laughter at Angels reaction.
"Which was?" Dawn asked.
"He looked like he was going to explod" Buffy spluttered out through laughs.
"Buffy"
"What it was fun cant I have fun"
"Yeah but at the expense of others"
"Look Dawn I didn't hurt him, I just wanted him to see that I have gotten over him I do have a life without him, no matter what he thinks"
"Ok its just, you know I have to live in L.A with them I don't want things to be awkward"
"Look Dawn tonight me and Spike will behave, Spike promised not to start anything, and we won't be all over each other"
"As opposed to the way you have been acting lately" Dawn said with a smile.
Buffy smiled but ignored the question. "So where are we going tonight"
"I dunno some Italian place, Cordy picked out, Lucas knows where it is so he'll drive"
"Ok, so what are you going to wear, oh god what am I going to wear, do you wanna go shopping"
"You can just wear something of Dawns luv no need to go all out"
Buffy turned around to see Spike standing behind.
"I guess," she said turning to Dawn giving her a hopeful smile.
Dawn looked over at Spike strangely. Spike nodded her head at Dawn.
"Umm yeah I guess," she said not sure of what Spike was up to.
"Ok guess it looks like I am staying home"
"Well I am going back to bed" Dawn said yawning "It's not natural to be up this early on a Sunday"
"Ok Dawn" Buffy watched Dawn leave. "They are so cute they can't be apart for long".
"So what do you wanna do today luv"
"I dunno got about four or five hours to kill, what do you wanna do"
"I can't believe I am saying this but I don't wanna watch T.V"
Buffy laughed "Yeah me either that's all I have done recently"
"I've got a pack of cards in the room wanna play something"
"Sure" she said moving over to a table and clearing the things off it. Spike walked off to their room and came back a few moments later with a deck of cards.
"So luv hows about a game of strip poker" he asked suggestively.
"In your dreams buddy"
Spike wiggled his eyebrows "Every night babe"
Buffy opened her mouth in shock.
"Haa haa got ya slayer, so what do you wanna play, I could teach you to play normal poker, I swear all clothes stay on"
"Umm alright, but just because I'm learning it doesn't mean in the future we are going to play it your way ok" she said smiling.
Spike chuckled "Ok slayer"
Over the next few hours Spike tried to teach Buffy how to play. After a few hands she soon figured out how to play but still couldn't win one.
"Spike you have to be cheating"
"How am I cheating"
"Well you must be unless you taught me wrong.
"How long did it take for you to figure out I was cheating"
Buffy looked over at him shocked then reached over and slapped him on the arm. "What was the use in teaching me if you are just going to cheat"
Spike looked hurt "Because its half the fun of it"
Dawn came out of the bedroom wearing a robe and had a towel in her hair.
"Hey guys what ya doing"
"Well Spike decided to teach me poker" Buffy said annoyed "But he didn't show me how to cheat which seems to be the object of this game"
Dawn laughed "Don't worry Buffy he only cheats cause he can't win"
"Hey" he said annoyed.
"Don't hey me cheater, go take a shower" she said pointing to the bathroom. "I need Buffy to help me with my hair"
Spike saunter off while Buffy got up and went into Dawns room. Lucas was fixing his tie and couldn't seem to get it right.
"Alright Dawn what do you want me to help you with"
"I want to curl the hair in my pony tail but cant seem the to reach it can you do it"
Buffy grabbed the curling wand and began winding strands around it. After 10 minutes her hair was done and Dawn looked pleased.
"Thanks, but maybe you should get Spike out of the shower"
Buffy nodded and walked out of the room to the bathroom.
"Hey fang breath you better not be using up all the hot water"
Spike suddenly opened the door and walked out only wearing a towel.
"Showers all yours luv" he said giving her an evil grin.
Buffy walked in and shut the door in his face.
Spike walked into his room and quickly got dressed, he looked through Buffys things but after not finding what he was looking for he walked to Dawns room.
Spike knocked on the door.
"Dawn can I come in"
"Yeah Spike" she said trying to put her lipstick on.
"Hey Dawn have you got a pair of black shoes the silly bint didn't bring any"
"What makes you think she is going to wear black shoes Spike she doesn't even know what's she wearing"
At that moment Lucas walked over to Spike and handed him his shopping bag.
"Thanks for looking after it for me"
"What's that" Dawn asked intrigued.
"It's a dress for ya sister now do you have any shoes"
Dawn walked over to her cupboard and after a minute she pulled out two pairs.
"Here take you pick"
Spike looked at them for a second then picked a pair of high heeled strappy glittery ones.
"Thanks Little Bit I owe you one"
Spike grabbed the shoes and went back to the room. Spike pulled the dress out of the bag and layed it on the bed, he then pulled a matching shawl and layed it next to it. Spike lastly placed the shoes on the floor and went to a drawer and pulled out a pen and paper. He quickly wrote a note then grabbed his jacket and walked out of the room right into Buffy.
"Hey" she said smiling. Buffy looked over Spike; he was wearing his suit from the wedding with the same blue shirt that matched his eyes. However, he still looked gorgeous.
"Hey" he said trying to block her view of the room. "Umm there is something for you to wear on the bed"
"Ok" she said walking into her room and shutting the door. Buffy looked on the bed and was shocked over the dress. It was a one shouldered black dress knee length pinched on one side and a sequined flower on the strap. Buffy picked up the dress and the note fell on the floor. Buffy bent down and picked it up then sat on the bed to see what it was.
I hope you like it, although its beauty is nothing compared to you
Luv Spike.
Buffy looked from the note to the dress to the note again. Tears sprang to her eyes, it really was beautiful. Buffy quickly changed into the dress, applied a little lipstick, and ran a quick brush through her hair letting it fall over her shoulders. Buffy sat on the bed put her shoes on, grabbed her shawl, and headed out into the lounge room. Dawn and Lucas were sitting on the couch while Spike was standing talking to them. When Buffy came out Spike stopped talking and starred at her. Dawn looked over at her and smiled.
"You look great Buffy, you ready"
Buffy nodded then walked over to Spike and placed a delicate kiss on his cheek. "Thankyou I love it, its beautiful". Buffy looped her arm in his and walked out of the apartment.
