Chapter 19
Spike walked back to the hotel with a skip in his step. Angel had said yes, he couldn't believe the wanker had said yes. He had hoped that he would but it still hadn't sunk in that he had. Everything was falling into place. A month ago Spike was half way around the world living on his own still pinning for the love he never got. Now she was his, she loved him. Spike walked into the hotel and went up to his room. Spike went into the bedroom and took his duster off. Deciding that his duster wasn't the best place to be keeping the rings he took them and hid them in his bag.
"Where have you been?"
Spike turned around quickly.
"Umm Buffy I didn't know you were there"
"Yeah well I am here where have you been"
Anxiously Spike looked around his plan were working out so well he couldn't have Buffy find them out now.
"I was in the lobby"
"I didn't see you"
"Well I didn't see you either it's a big place" he said hoping she was buying it.
"Oh, ok, you shouldn't be out for to long your not healed properly"
Spike sighed. "Buffy I am almost healed just a few bumps and bruises all the worst is gone"
Buffy twitched her mouth. "Yeah I know, I just worried, took me so long to figure us out and I don't want to lose you just yet"
"That's ok pet, I feel the same way, you wanna watch tv that way you can keep an eye on me"
Buffy smiled then walked over to Spike and put her arms around him.
"yeah that would be nice"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Spike woke up stiffly. The muscles in his back seemed to have seized up and he wasn't sure why. They only did that when he slept on weird surfaces like when he used to sleep in his crypt. Spike managed to open his eyes and soon realised that he had fallen asleep on the couch with Buffy. Buffy was fully stretched out on the couch which explained Spikes soreness. The dam girl had taken up the whole couch leaving him to sit and one end slightly sloughed. Although he hated to wake her he knew he would have to do it if he was going to be able to walk that day.
"Luv, wake up"
"No Spike I am to comfy"
"Yeah well my back is killing me"
Buffy sat up quickly. "Sorry Spike, you ok"
Spike stood up and stretched his back. Much to the delight of Buffy.
"Errugggh, Yep" he said finishing his stretch.
Spike turned around and looked at Buffy. God shes beautiful he thought. She was still in her clothes from the night before and her hair was all messed, but she looked natural.
"I am going to go have a shower alright, wanna work out a few of these kinks"
Buffy nodded and watched as he walked to the shower. Buffy sighed then flopped back down on the couch.
Spike got in the bathroom and turned the cold water on. He wanted a cold shower to calm himself down. He had to ask Buffy to marry him with in the next to days but he wasn't sure how to do it. He was actually chicken. He knew he would have to do it sometime but the time was now and he didn't know. He didn't know if he should get down on one knee or just blurt it out. Taking her to a nice restaurant didn't seem like a good idea, still recovering from that. The movie experience wasn't the best either. Sure the after movie entertainment had been good but he needed something else. Spike stood under the shower and let the cool water wash over him. Once he felt calmer her turned the hot water on and turned around to let it work on his muscles.
"Spike can I come in"
"Yeah" he yelled not even thinking about any complications.
Spike saw the light shine through the misty bathroom as Buffy walked in.
"Everything alright luv"
"Yep"
Spike began to rotate his shoulder as best he could in the shower still trying to get his muscles working. Spike noticed that the steam was quickly exiting the shower and turned to see what had happened. Buffy had happened. She had the door open and stood there smiling at Spike before she entered the shower and shut the door behind her.
"Umm Buffy" he stammered. "What are you doing"
Buffy was nervous, she wasn't exactly sure what she was doing, she had just wanted to be closer to him.
"Taking a shower" she replied simply
She then leaned forward and kissed him passionately on the lips. Spike was shocked to say the least.
Buffy pulled back and smiled at him. "I just wanted to be close to you that's all"
Spike smiled and put his arms around her. Buffy became a little nervous, she had just wanted to join him in the shower, she hoped he didn't think it was more.
"God, I just feel like a stupid teenager having a shower with her boyfriend for the first time" she said nervously.
Spike noticed her edginess. "That's ok luv, I am here to shower don't know about you"
Buffy sigh with relief. She knew there was a reason why she loved this guy.
~TBC~
Authors Note: ok that wasn't as raunchy as you probably would have wanted, I just don't want to piss any one off and get my story kicked off. If I end up submitting it to another site that allows NC17 then I may go back and rewrite it but until then, everything goes on behind closed doors. Don't worry they didn't have sex . YET.
