Chapter 24

"Hey Spike I'm home, I got heaps of stuff for the wedding" Buffy called.

Willow grabbed some of the bags off Buffy.

"I'll put some of this stuff in the kitchen so you guys can look at it later, go put your wedding dress away before Spike sees it"

Willow headed off to the kitchen with Tara and Anya following. Buffy went up the stairs to her room. Halfway up that stairs Buffy heard Willow squeal.

"You ok Wills"

"Yeah I thought I saw a mouse sorry"

Buffy shook her head and walked the rest of the way up the stairs and into her room. She quickly put her dress on the bed then went in search of Spike. She didn't have to look far as he was coming out of his room as she was coming out of hers.

"Hi Spike you miss me" she asked throwing her arms around him.

"You know I did," he said pulling her into a tighter hug.

"Your wet" she said pulling away"

"Yep"

"You have a shower," she asked.

"Yep"

"Why"

"Do you have to know everything"

"Yep" she said mimicking him.

"Well then, I am going out with Harris"

"No seriously" Buffy said laughing.

"I'm serious" oh great he thought now I have got to think of a way for her to think I am leaving the house. "Umm he has appointed him self my best man. He says its so he can keep an eye on me. I just think its so he has an excuse to go to nudie bars, that's where we are going tonight, to check some out"

"ALEXANDER HARRIS" Buffy yelled

Xander ran in from the kitchen and stood at the bottom of the stairs.

"Yeah"

"You are not taking my fiancée out to a strip bar"

"What" he asked shocked

Spike gave Xander a look and began to nod his head at him.

"Oh strip club, yeah umm no I would never take Spike there"

"You guys going out" Willow asked coming out of the kitchen. "Cool Buffy we can all try on out outfits and parade around the house"

Buffy laughed "ok Will, so where are you guys going then"

"Just out for a drink luv, then probably back to Harris' house let you girls play dress up"

"Thank you, but I want you home early"

"Ok luv, well go on and get all dolled up, I'll yell out when I leave wouldn't want to walk in on you guys"

Buffy smiled and gave Spike a kiss.

"Alright girls lets make Buffy beautiful"

Tara and Anya made their way up the stairs and disappeared into Buffys room. Buffy soon followed but Willow stopped at the top of the stairs.

"I'll come out and check on you guys then ill send one of the others out when she is ready ok" Willow whispered.

Spike nodded.

Xander walked up the stairs and placed a hand on Spikes shoulders.

"This is it I guess, go put your suit on then well let them no we are leaving so they no not to come down ok"

Spike nodded and walked off to his room feeling more scared then he had in his life.

Authors Notes" ok I am so sorry that I haven't posted earlier and that this is so short. I have been applying for a new job and had to do a few tests. I have now done an aptitude test and a dexterity test and now I have an interview on Tuesday. I have had to juggle my shifts around so I can go to this stuff so I have been working odd hours and have been to tired to sleep.

I thought I would give you this chapter now instead of having you wait for a longer one.

I am so sorry.
