Chapter 13
Buffy woke around 11 the next morning, and rolled over and looked at spike. His face had now started bruise but his cuts were almost heeled. Buffy walked out of the room to get him some blood to help him regenerate, pigs blood. When Buffy walked in the kitchen she saw Dawn sitting at the table looking trashed.
"Dawn what are you doing home"
"Oh I stayed home today I was worried about Spike, what made Angel do it he was a little calmer leaving the restaurant"
"Umm I guess it might have been the fact that he caught Spike and I kissing again"
Dawn looked at her sister angry "So hes on death door because you wanted to make Angel jealous"
"No Dawn it wasn't like that, I swear"
"Well what was it then"
"Dawn I love him that's why I did it, it killed me to see him like that, it finally made me realise I do want him"
"Does he know that"
"I cant tell him we were trying to figure this out remember, he knows the kiss wasn't me playing so he might I dunno, everything is so confusing, I don't want to lose him"
"Buffy, Spike has made his decision"
"And" she asked doubtfully.
"He loves you duh, I am just worried about him I don't want him hurt"
"Dawn he will be ok, I promise I wont hurt him anymore now go to work, ill look after him"
"You sure, cause I can stay help you pack"
"Oh yeah that's right were leaving tonight, umm no ill be fine ok, go make some money, then buy him a present he will like that"
"Oh ok" she said smiling "Will you be home when I get home"
"Yeah we will leave at 8 ok"
"Ok" she said running off to the shower.
Buffy walked to the fridge and got some blood out she poured it into a mug. Placing it in the microwave she zapped it for a few seconds before taking it out and walking back into her room. Buffy sat on the bed and began stroking Spikes forehead.
Spike opened his eyes and forced a smile. "Hey"
"Hey yourself, you feeling better"
"Yeah thanks to you, Buffy why" he asked trying to sit up.
Buffy helped him up then looked into his eyes "Spike we discussed this last night you were pretty beat up, like really bad even worse than with glory, you needed your strength and I have plenty so why not"
"Aren't you scared ill get a taste for it"
"No, I trust you spike, don't you know that"
Spike just shrugged.
"Spike, I trust you ok, you have to know that"
"Alright now slayer calm down you trust me, good cause I trust you"
"Good now can I ask you a question"
"I guess"
"Do you love me"
"I was going to ask you the same thing luv"
"Well" she asked
Spike began looking around the room.
"What are you looking for"
"A stake" he said with a smirk.
"Why"
"Just in case you try to stake me when I tell you"
"Spike come on I am serious"
"Ok, well yes I do love you, but ill understand if you don't, like I know last night you said something to Angel last night I am not sure what I was pretty out of it but what ever you said that was just to piss him off right"
Buffy shook her head.
Spike looked at her shocked "It wasn't, what exactly did you say to him"
" I umm I told him that I love you"
"Please tell me I am not dreaming"
Buffy began to laugh "Your not Spike, I just finally came to my senses that's all"
"Bout bloody time"
"Hey, you didn't know how you felt either" she said punching him in the arm.
"Owww" he said grabbing his arm.
"Oh shit spike" she said holding his arm "I forgot"
"Its ok luv" he said pulling her into a hug "It was worth it"
Buffy layed down on the bed next to spike "So where do we go from here" she asked.
Spike looked at her confused. "What do you mean luv aren't we going to the hotel tonight"
"No that's not what I meant, were together right so where is this going"
"Well we already live together luv is they're anywhere else to go"
Buffy layed there disheartened, "No I guess not," she said standing up "I am going to have a shower ok"
"Buffy what's wrong" he asked as she exited the room.
Buffy waved her arm back as if to say nothing.
Spike got out of the bed and walked into the kitchen. Dawn was standing there waiting for her coffee to brew.
"Hey Spike you feeling better"
"Umm no confused"
"Why what's wrong do you need to lay down"
"No I am confused about Buffy," he said taking a seat. "Buffy and I decided that we are a couple"
"That's great"
"Well yeah I thought so till she asked where we go from here relationship wise, I said we already lived together what else is there"
Dawn looked at Spike shocked "You said that to her wow and I was worried she would hurt you"
"What, hold on what am I missing"
Dawn rolled her eyes " I know you have only been going out for a few seconds but if you are serious about her, umm dum dum de dum"
"Hey don't call me dumb I have no idea what she got all angry about"
"I am not calling you dumb I am singing dum dum de dum"
Spike looked at her like she was crazy.
"God Spike, what did me and Lucas just do"
Spike looked at her surprised "Look Niblet I don't wanna know"
"God fang breath could you be any more dense hello marriage"
"What?" Spike said chocking "Buffy wants to marry me"
"I don't know eventually I guess" Dawn said taking a sip of her coffee. "Its every girls dream and its not like we haven't discussed it"
"You have" he asked shocked then realisation took over "We can't get married who would marry us, would it be legal"
Dawn put on her jacket as she was leaving "If you are serious you should talk to Will and Tara they can work it out".
Spike watched her leave and sat at the table thinking. God me married, it's not as if he hadn't thought about it, he had wanted to get married when he was alive. It's not that he didn't love Buffy he did even though they had just made it official. He would do anything to make her happy, but he didn't want to rush her. Spike went over to the phone and rang Willows number.
"Hello Willow speaking"
"Umm hey Red its Spike" he said rather nervous "Umm I have this problem that I was kinda hoping you could help me with"
"Yeah sure Spike what is it"
"Well see I met this friend of mine while I was here and he wants to get married thing is hes a vampire and she isn't Dawn said you could help"
"Sure Spike there is this women who performs ceremonies they are not legal in the real world, the demon world they are valid, that's what Tara and I did it means something to us even if its not recognised"
"Oh I was wondering about you two"
"So do you want me to contact the lady for your friend"
"Umm maybe see this friend is actually me"
"And I suppose the girl is Buffy"
"Yeah, your not going to turn me into a frog are you"
"No no not a frog, about time you to got it together, so you wanna marry her"
"Yeah I think I do"
"Cool, look I can call the lady and see what she says when do you want to do this"
"Umm as soon as possible I guess I haven't even asked her yet"
"Ok well let me know when you do ok
"Ok red and thanks, we'll be home in a weeks ok"
"Sure Spike, say hello to Buffy for me"
"Will do bye"
Spike hanged up the phone just as Buffy walked in.
"Who was that on the phone"
"Oh just some guy trying to sell me a vacuum cleaner, I told him there was no way I would be needing one now right pet"
"Right" she said walking up to him and placing her arms around his waist. "Now get back to bed I don't want you all bruised and beaten when we check into the hotel"
"Alright" he said grumbling "At least keep me company"
Buffy walked into the room behind spike and began packing her clothes away in her bags. Buffy picked up the dress from the night before and smiled.
"This dress is really beautiful"
"What?" Spike said opening his eyes.
"The dress it's beautiful thankyou for buying it for me, why did you buy it for me"
"I dunno wanted to show you that I really appreciate what you have done for me, to show you that I really care"
Buffy smiled then folded it up and placed it in her bag.
"You sure you don't want me to help luv" he said opening one eye looking at her.
"I am sure," she said stuffing his gear into a bag "Get some rest".
