After about twenty minutes they arrived at the restaurant. Spike stepped out of the car then held his hand out to Buffy to help her out. Buffy saw his hand shaking and grabbed hold of it and held it tight.
"Its ok, what are you worried about"
"Nothing, nothing" he said giving her hand a squeeze. I am only going to dinner with my sire.
The group made there way into the restaurant and to the table were Cordy and Angel were already sitting.
"Hey guys glad you made it" Cordelia said enthusiastically.
"Hey" Buffy said giving a short wave.
Spike just nodded at her and looked nervously at Angel.
Dawn went up and gave Cordelia a hug while Lucas went up and shook Angels hand. Dawn took a seat next to Cordelia while Lucas sat beside Angel already engaged in conversation. Buffy and Spike sat in the last two chairs thankful that they didn't have to sit next to either of them. A waiter came to the table giving them three menus then promptly left. Buffy grabbed a menu and opened it up between her and Spike. Dawn grabbed one and shared it with Cordelia, while Lucas and Angel were already deeply involved in the menu.
Buffy looked over at the menu then looked at Spike "So what are you going to have?" she asked.
Spike looked at her and smiled. "I dunno love it all looks good" he then leaned closer and whispered "But not as good as you"
Angel hearing the conversation looked up and scoffed "Hes going to eat, FOOD"
Buffy looked at him like he was crazy. "Umm yeah Spike eats all the time" Buffy turned back to the menu. "Well I am having the Spiralli Calabrese, you"
"I dunno I was thinking the lasagne"
"Well I am having steak" Angel announced loudly puffing out his chest.
Buffy rolled her eyes at him please is he trying to act macho. Lucas saw Buffys look and tried to smooth things over.
"I'm a chicken man myself"
Everyone looked at him and started laughing.
"Umm what I meant was I am having the chicken," he said embarrassed.
"That's ok honey" Dawn said grinning. "I'm going to have the same, I like chicken men"
The waiter came and took their orders then there was an uncomfortable silence.
"Umm Spike" Cordelia began "How did you end up. umm in Sunnydale again, I am assuming that's where you arr umm staying"
Spike looked up at her and smiled, he knew what she was trying to ask. "Well I had to come back for the Little Bits wedding couldn't miss that"
"Why did you leave?" Angel asked smarmily
"I didn't leave per say, I moved on there was nothing in Sunnydale for me at the time, leavings not my thing, its yours"
Buffy looked anxiously between Spike and Angel but luckily for her Cordy started talking again.
"Oh umm so you came for Dawns wedding, what made you stay?"
"Yeah I came down for the Little Bits wedding, rushed down and all so I didn't have any where to stay. It didn't really bother me at first cause I was only going to be there for a few days but buffy offered me a room at her house for as long as I want. You know it being empty and all, well except for her"
A glass was knocked over at the table and Spike looked over to see Angel wiping up his mess. "So what you just imposed on her and stay did you" Angel asked gruffly.
"No like I said she asked me to stay as long as I want" Spike replied happily "Buffy and I went out on a case and had a lot of fun together. That night, while talking in my room she asked me to stay in Sunnydale and work with her, you know as a team"
"So are you miserable in your little crypt Spike" Angel quipped only to happy for Spike to be miserable.
"No, like I said, I'm living at Buffys, my room there is great, Buffy repainted her mums room black for me, I have even got my name on the door" he said matter of factually.
Cordelia saw the rage in Angels eyes and tried to change the subject. "Buffy that's a nice dress where did you get it"
Buffy looked down at her dress and smiled "Yeah its beautiful isn't it, I had nothing nice to wear tonight I was just going to borrow something off of Dawn. When I got out of the shower tonight and went into our room there it was lying on the bed, Spike bought it for me, isn't he sweet."
Angel was about to stand up and confront Spike when the food arrived.
"Spike it's a really nice dress you really have some taste, where did you get it"
Spike grabbed a fork and took a bite of lasagne before answering Cordy question. "It was in this little shop Lucas took me to," Spike said.
"Oh Cordy you'll love it I'll have to show you some time" Dawn said happily.
Buffy began digging into here meal while watching Spike trying his.
"Is your lasagne ok Spike" Buffy asked.
"It's alright"
"Here try some of mine its great"
Spike stuck his fork into her pasta but came up with nothing; he tried again but still nothing. Buffy shook her head.
"Here" she said digging her own fork in and offering it to him "open up"
Spike opened his mouth and bit the pasta off the fork. "Mmm not bad" he said
"Do you wanna swap" she asked.
"Nah that's ok your enjoying it"
"Its ok I don't mind" Buffy picked up her plate then Spikes and swapped them.
Buffy cut a piece of the lasagne of put it in her mouth "Yum this is nice, you have no idea what you are talking about"
"Yes this meal is very nice" Dawn said digging into her chicken.
The rest of the meal proceeded with to many dramas. The group was enjoying tea and cake when Buffy looked around the group.
"This is really nice you know all sitting here enjoying a meal, families coming together"
"Umm families" Cordelia asked.
"Well yeah, Dawn and I and Angel and Spike, old and new friends, its nice"
Lucas looked confused for a second then spoke up "Oh that's right, Spikes Angels grandson of sorts"
"Were not family," Angel said glaring at Spike.
"Take it easy Angel, Buffy was just saying its nice to have us all together here, she lost a lot of close people in her life, its nice to get together with people who you consider family" Spike said finally standing up to Angels abuse.
"I'm sorry" Angel said sarcastically "But who gave your permission to talk"
"No one" he yelled standing up. "But I guess no one gave you permission to be a prick yet you are one, I'm sorry Buffy" he said turning to her. "But I'm leaving, I am not going to stay here and watch him ruin a perfect evening, I'll see you at home"
Spike stormed out of the restaurant while Buffy watched in horror. Buffy threw her cup down and stood up quickly causing her chair to fall back. She was pissed. She had been civil all night and had even layed off Spike, not pawing him all night to rile up angel yet he still went off the deep end
"I hope you have a good doctor Angel," she said sarcastically.
"Why you gonna kick my ass" he said tempting her.
"No" she said composing her self "So he can remove the pole that's up your ASS"
Buffy then stormed out of the restaurant after Spike. She felt so bad for putting him through that, spike wasn't the one who was supposed to be in pain. Buffy found him outside leaning against a wall.
"Spike, thank god I thought you left" she said running up to him.
"I'm sorry Buffy I just couldn't put up with that anymore, you were trying to be nice and he was prick"
"Its ok Spike you don't need to apologise, I do, I shouldn't have put you through that I am sorry. I was only thinking of my self and how it would effect my life and not yours"
"You don't need to worry about me I was the one who agreed to it"
"Yeah but you wouldn't if I hadn't persuaded you"
"You didn't persuade me to do it"
"Whatever spike that's not the point here spike, the point is I did something to hurt you and that wasn't right, I should have thought of you first"
"No you don't Buffy"
"Yes I do," she said
Buffy then leaned up and kissed him.
After about a minute Spike pulled away
"Come on Buffy, don't do this now its no time for fun and games, ok, lets just go home"
Buffy gazed into his eyes "I am not playing spike and this is the right time" Buffy reached up and began kissing him again. This time Spike snaked his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss.
At that moment Angel and Cordelia decided to storm out of restaurant. Cordelia was trying to calm him down but Angel was fuming. Angel looked up and saw Buffy and Spike kissing.
"Oh that's it' he said storming over to them
"Angel no" Cordelia yelled.
