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.
Chapter Sixteen
Buffy just stood there. Frozen. A million thought coming to her at once, and yet the biggest thing was that Spike was here, alive and well.
"I think this is yours..." Spike said as he stood up and handed Buffy her purse.
Buffy just looked at it then looked back up at him, looking at his face yet unable to meet his eyes.
"Buffy?"
Silence. It was as if there was no one else in the whole restaurant around them. They just stood there in silence. Finally after five minutes of what seemed like an eternity, Buffy seemed to snap out of her reverie.
"Wh-what are you doing here?" Buffy asked.
"Well, luv... I work here, technically I own it."
"You own it? Oh God, Kent."
"Don't worry he doesn't know that I know you."
"Worry..."
"You saw me last night didn't you? That's why you left." Spike asked.
"Yes." Buffy said still not meeting his eyes.
"Look, I know that having me here could be complicating and confusing but..."
"Why didn't you come back?" Buffy asked in a whisper.
"What?"
"Why didn't you come back?"
"Well, I thought it would be for the better. At least by not being near you, I wouldn't remember what... what I almost did." Spike choked out.
"What?"
"I was so stupid back then and I'm so..."
"No." Buffy said as she finally locked eyes with Spike. When they did, Spike could see the pain in her eyes along with the unshed tears. Thinking he was the cause by forcing her to remember what he almost did, Spike quickly apologized but before he could even utter sorry, Buffy cut him off and said...
"I'm sorry." And with that Buffy quickly left a bewildered Spike.
'What the hell just happened?' Spike asked himself. 'and why am I still holding her purse?'
After that Spike went to the phone and called Dawn.
*ring ring*
"Hello?" Dawn asked as she answered the phone.
"I told you she hated me." Spike said.
"What? That's not true, you exaggerating."
"Of course not. She just ran out of here so fast... I see she still hasn't lost here slayer skills."
"What exactly happened? Tell me everything."
Spike told her about what happened also mentioning the fact that he still had her purse.
"So she just said sorry and left?" Dawn asked.
"Yup. Believe you me that was... unexpected." Spike answered.
"But that also means she doesn't hate you! Think about it, who apologized her or you?"
"Her, but that could mean many things. It could mean I'm sorry I ever met you or I'm sorry I didn't stake your sorry ass when I had the chance to years ago..."
"I highly doubt it, try and remember the way she said it. Did she say it like she meant it or in a more condescending way?"
Spike couldn't forget. Her expression a while ago was pure sadness. "Well... It seemed like she meant it."
"Well, there's your ace in the hole!" Dawn said. "Told you she didn't hate you."
"Well if she didn't before we met, she does now."
"Why? What did you do Spike? What did you say?"
"I have absolutely no idea. Oh but I kinda made her cry."
"Oh you kinda made her cry? YOU KINDA MADE HER CRY?!?! What the heck happened?"
"I don't know but let me tell you one thing, whatever it was, I'm still such an ass."

meanwhile...
"Will, Will!" Buffy called as she ran inside fangfacey bookstore.
"What? What's going on?" Willow asked as she fixed some books on a shelf.
"S-Sp-spike. H-he's al-alive." Buffy said a little out of breath.
"What?"
"Spike, he's alive!" Buffy said.
"What are you sure? Where?"
"Restaurant, there him. Damn, I left my purse again!" Buffy said as she realized it.
"What? Okay what is going on? Is this a joke or something?"
"No joke. He's really alive Will. I saw him with my own two eyes!"
"Are you sure it was him, maybe it just looked like him, you know Spike, likes dark corners. After all not so good with the sunlight."
"I'm sure it was him Will. I talked to him and saw his face clearly. I mean it is morning and the sun is shining pretty bright."
"The sun?"
"Yeah, the sun, why? Oh god, the sun, he was in the sun. You don't think?" Buffy asked as she looked at Willow.
"I do think..." Willow answered.
"...that he's human." Buffy finished.
