Proof

Summary: It's 7 years after Season 6. Buffy's no longer the slayer and Spike has never come back. Sorry not so good with summaries.

Author Notes: It would be great if you could feedback me. It's my very first fanfic so please be nice and thank you to those who have given me feedback. They give me the motivation to continue my story. Sorry about the conversation parts, I'm not so good with that yet. I tried my best though to make this chapter a little longer.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except maybe a few original characters but they're pretty easy to spot.

Angel'sAngel: Good things come to those who wait...

Chapter Fifteen

As Buffy reached her apartment, all Buffy could think about was Spike. She couldn't believe he was there in the flesh and most importantly... alive after all these years. She was so distracted that she left her purse in the restaurant. 'Not wanting the chance to see hi again, Buffy just had their apartment manager open the door for her with the excuse that she left her keys inside and locked herself out. 'I guess I'll just get it tomorrow.' Even as Buffy laid down on her bed and shut her eyes, all she could see was him.

'O God' Buffy thought "I need to call Willow.' Buffy was reaching for the phone when she looked at the time: It was only ten o'clock! 'I can't call her now, she might still be with Oz.'

'I guess I'll just call her tomorrow...'

The next morning...

"Hey Buffy." Dawn sleepily greeted. Dawn came home pretty late last night after finally convincing Spike to talk to Buffy. She even gave him the address of the gallery.

"What? Oh, um hey." Buffy said a bit distracted, no doubt Spike was still on her mind.

"So how was your date? When I came home I kinda noticed you were here already."

"It was okay."

"So are you going to see him again?"

"I don't know Dawn. What's with all the questions?"

"Nothing, I was just wondering that's all. So you going to the gallery today?"

"Yes. Lot's of things to do with the opening so near and all. You have rehearsal?"

"Yup."

"Okay, well I'm going to get dressed cause I have to go. I have to swing by the restaurant I went to last night anyways."

"Why?

"I left my purse."

Buffy went to her room and got dressed. It was a busy day today for her what with all the furniture coming today and all. She'd have to be there and sign for it all. As soon as she got finished dressing Buffy went to get her bag, said goodbye to Dawn and headed to the restaurant.

As soon as Buffy left, Dawn called Spike.

*Ring Ring

"What?" Spike mumbled sleepily as he picked up the phone.

"Spike? Is that anyway to answer the phone?" Dawn reprimanded.

"What? Oh sorry bit. I just got home a few hours ago and finally went to sleep a few minutes ago."

"Oh sorry, anyway Spike get your ass out of bed and go to the restaurant."

"Why? I've just been there."

"Buffy's coming."

"What? WHAT?"

"Yes, she is. To get her purse."

"I told you that you should have just brought it home last night."

"And what have her find out that I was there, that I knew you were alive? No way she'd kill me."

"Oh it's okay for me to die?"

"She'd never kill you Spike, she never has and she never will."

"Fine fine I'm going."

"Hurry up. She's already got a head start on you and if you don't hurry you might miss her."

"How can I hurry up if I'm still talking to you on the phone. Plus Bit, I think I can beat her. After all I live on top of the restaurant."

"You do? That is so cool. At least you can avoid the sun."

"The sun? Why would I want to avoid the sun?"

"Duh, cause you're a vamp." And that's when it hit Spike, he never told her was human.

"I'm human." Spike said it so softly and quickly that Dawn almost didn't catch it.

"What, how?"

"It's a long story, which if you want me to catch your sister should be told another time."

"Okay okay bye."

"Bye."

After Spike put the phone down, he started thinking about Buffy. 'Buffy here, and I'm supposed to meet her. God she still hates me I shouldn't go.'

But then another voice inside his head spoke up and said: 'suck it up Spike. It's time.'

Spike decided to follow and got dressed. Five minutes later he was downstairs, her purse on the bar table and drinking coffee the sunlight illuminating his face while waiting with his back turned for her.

Spike felt the door open as cool air rushed in.

"We're still closed maam." A waitress said as Buffy walked in.

"Oh I know. I was just looking for something. My purse, I left it here last night."

"Oh well, I'll go ask the other servers if they've seen anything."

"Thank you." Buffy said as the waitress went inside the kitchen.

"It's with me." Spike said as he turned around.

"Spike?"

"Hello Luv."

A/N: They've met! They've met! It's time for a parade! : ) Sorry it took so long; Something was wrong with f.net and I couldn't upload for days! This should've been up last week. I actually still can't. I just asked my friend to help me out. Hopefully, the problem will be solved soon.
