Chapter 18
Spike quickly rang Willow to arrange details and give her his credit card number. He quickly, as he could, went up stairs to have a rest, maybe Buffy was right he needed to rest if he was going to heal right. Spike crawled into bed and watched as Buffy laughed at him.
"I told you, you needed to rest, want me to help you take your duster off"
Spike nodded then realised what he still had in his pocket.
"UMM NO" he yelled.
Buffy looked at him shocked.
"It's comforting, ill keep it on"
Spike nestled into bed and swiftly feel asleep. He didn't wake up until he felt Buffy kiss him on the cheek many hours later.
"Bye Spike" she whispered
Spike stirred from his sleep. "Where you going' he mumbled.
"Out with Dawn remember"
"I thought that wasn't until later"
"It is later"
"What" he said bolting up in bed.
"Hey take it easy" she said pushing him down.
"Alright luv well ill see you later, ill probably watch t.v, maybe go to the lobby ok"
"Don't strain yourself this is supposed to be a holiday ok ill be home before 12 we will hang out if your up"
Spike nodded and waited until Buffy was out of the room before getting up and changing into one of his nicer outfits. Spike snuck out of his room and down to the lobby he looked around to make sure Buffy wasn't there before exiting the hotel on route to Angels.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Spike looked nervously at Angels place. He was nervous about what he was about to do. It was going to be hard and stupid but he had to do it for Buffys sake. Buffy wouldn't be happy unless she knew that he was. Sure they had played that prank on him but that was because his opinion mattered to her and he thought she was weak. Spike walked up the steps and rang the doorbell to Angels house. After a few seconds Cordelia answered.
"Oh god Spike, what are you doing here, is something wrong, your looking better"
"Nothings wrong Cordelia, you don't look so bad your self and I am here to ask the wanker something"
"Umm is that the best idea, I mean after last time. I am really sorry about that by the way"
"Not your fault, I would have done the same thing when he was with Dru if I could have gotten out of my chair earlier".
"Umm ok" she said not sure what he was talking about. "come in"
"Umm thanks luv" he said taking one step inside the door.
"So why are you here"
"I wanna marry Buffy" Spike blurted out.
Cordelia covered her mouth with her hand. "Are you serious"
Spike nodded.
"But how" she asked confused.
"Demon type ceremony, Willow had one, it wont be official but I still want to do it"
Cordelia nodded
"So will you help me"
"What do you want me to do" she asked
"I have to get Angels permission, will you help me"
"You promise no blood shed"
Spike nodded "I'll even invite you to the wedding"
Cordy smiled. "Ok hes just in the bedroom I'll just show you"
Cordy led Spike through the house and to her bedroom. Cordy knocked on the door lightly before entering.
"Umm honey there is someone here who would like to see you, its important"
Angel looked at Cordy curiously then saw Spike.
"What is he doing here" he said indicating Spike
"He came to talk to you Angel, I think you should listen"
"Fine" he said sitting down on his bed.
Spike became nervous. "I umm I , I want your permission to umm marry Buffy"
Angel started laughing. "See now I know you are joking"
Spike looked at him sternly.
"You're not joking"
Spike continued his stare.
"No, NO" he yelled.
"Fine" Spike said calmly walking out.
"Your just walking out" Cordelia asked shocked.
Spike stopped. "You married to him you should know hes not going to change his mind"
"But I thought you loved Buffy"
'I do, but hes not even willing to find out why I even came here, I love Buffy, I just wanted to make her happy". He said walking towards the door.
"Angel" Cordy yelled "I warned you if you let Buffy get in the way of our marriage its finished. If you let Spike walk out that door without hearing him out then I am following"
"Cordy"
"Spike wait up I am coming with you"
Spike stopped with a smile on his face, this girl was amazing.
"No Cordy don't leave I'll talk to him, please don't leave, I love you"
Spike turned around and walked back into the bedroom.
Angel started closing the door then looked at Cordy. "If I close the door you promise you'll still be here when I open it"
Cordy tried not to smile "Yes"
"Ok" he said meekly before shutting the door.
Angel shut the door and turned around and looked at Spike. "Talk"
"I love Buffy and she loves me, I wanna marry her, I want to make her happy"
"So why did you come to me"
Spike looked down and began to mumble. "youtheonlyfartherigot"
"What?"
"God, you're like the only father I know alright"
Angel looked at him stunned.
"You think I am your father" he asked shocked.
"You have embarrassed me enough alright, yes, no, I don't know, I wanted to do this properly, in our day you talked to your father, then hers. I have talked to her friends, but its yours that counts for both of us"
"I'm surprised Spike"
"Yeah well don't get a big head"
"What if I say No"
"Well then I leave tell Red, Harris, Lil Bit and Jess that you said no"
Angel looked shocked. "They all know, Xander said yes"
"Jess held her breath till he said yes"
Angel smirked. "Whipped by a five year old"
"Hey look you can say no, she could say no for Christ's sake, its not like its official in the real world. But I don't care I want to marry her. If you say no I am not going to hurt you, or kill you, you'll just have to face Cordy not me. You decide what's worse"
"You know you could just go do it, its not like I would have found out"
"S'not right"
Angel stood up "Cordy can you come in here please"
Spike looked at Angel confused. Cordelia walked in and looked between Spike and Angel.
"What"
"He wants to marry Buffy"
"I know where invited"
Angel raised his eyebrows.
"So Angel your saying yes right"
Angel huffed "Yes alright Cordy I love you I don't want to lose you, you have me permission Spike"
Spike looked up shocked. "yes" he asked
"Yes alright, just leave ok"
Spike smiled then quickly walked out of the room. He stopped and turned around.
"Umm Angel, I have a favour, you will be there right" Spike asked
"Of course Spike" Cordy replied
"Umm Angel if she says yes, will you walk her down the isle"
Angel stared at him.
"Of course he will" Cordy said smiling.
"This weekend, can you come"
"3 days" Angel said still shocked
"Yeah Saturday morning, to help set up stuff, I need your wife's help on setting it up, ill have to get Buffy out of the house"
"Your not going to tell her" Angel asked
"Nope, I want her to be surprised, see you there"
Spike walked out of the house with a huge smile on his face.
~TBC~
Authors Note: ok I am sorry its been awhile since I posted but I am so screwed. My explorer has stuffed up. I can barely get into FF before it tells me it has performed an illegal operation. So basically I have to wait till I get on my boyfriends computer and upload chapters. So you might not get another lot of chapters till like next Saturday if it continues to stuff up. But on the plus you do get like three or more chapters now.
