A/N: First off, I'm well aware that a lot of what happens in this story is
ahead of what happened in the actual show. I know that a lot of this took
place in season 5, but I'm changing it to the way I want it. And second,
sorry it took so long to get this next chapter up, I've been working on my
other story.that one is time consuming...
On to the story!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Buffy looked at Riley who was sitting before her.
"I'm sorry...I didn't mean it Buffy. Really."
Buffy raised her eyebrow.
"I was drunk. Really drunk. I'm never like that. You of all people should know that."
"You were drunk at 9:00 in the morning?"
"Well, technically I was still drunk from the night before."
"Why were you even drunk at all?"
"The guys thought it'd be fun to go to a party so we went. I had way too many beers and got drunk."
Buffy sighed and sat further back into her seat.
"You think I'm lying." It was a statement rather than a question.
"I don't know what to think."
"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?" He leaned forward.
"Is it true?" Tears were in her eyes.
"Is what true?"
"What Spike said?"
"And you believe him?"
"He hasn't given me a reason not to."
"He's evil Buffy. He'll do anything to be with you."
"Stop avoiding the question."
Riley got up and began pacing. He didn't say anything, he just paced.
"So you're not going to answer me?" Buffy asked, realizing that his silence told her all the answers that she needed.
Riley looked at her with a sad expression.
"I'm sorry." His voice was a pleading whisper.
"You made your bed. And I'm not in it anymore." Buffy looked up at him, the cold in her eyes froze him.
"What about Spike? What is he to you?"
"He's an ally. He's my friend.."
"And your not sleeping with him." His calm voice was forced. He really didn't want to yell.
"No... I haven't recently."
"So you have.. slept with him?"
Buffy nodded and twisted her hands together. The conversation making her uncomfortable.
"Yeah."
"When?"
"During Willow's spell."
"Were you ever going to tell me?"
"I don't know. Maybe. It never seemed relevant."
"So cheating on me isn't relevant? It isn't important?" His voice began to get higher.
"Riley..what's done is done. I can't take it back. So let's not punish me for doing that in the past. I can't change it."
"Do you think we have a chance at ever being together again."
"No...Neither one of us trusts the other enough."
"Yeah." Riley whispered.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Cheese stick?" Xander offered to everyone in the room with him.
"I'll have one!" Willow reached her hand out towards Xander. He tossed it to her.
They all sat in Giles' bathroom, waiting for the 'conversation' to be over with.
Willow sat on the toilet seat.
Spike was leaning up against the bath tub.
Xander and Anya were across from where Willow sat.
And Giles was near the door.waiting for any indication that it'll be ok for them to depart the bathroom.
"Do you think its safe to go out?' Anya asked the group. The floor was getting uncomfortable.
"Well, I don't hear yelling anymore. That's a good sign." Willow said hopefully. At this point she didn't really care whether or not Buffy stayed with him, she just wanted to get out of the bathroom.
"Its been five hours...I'm hungry." Anya complained.
"Well, you could have eaten the cheese stick." Xander commented.
Spike sighed.
Giles shifted to put his ear closer to the door.
"I think they're done." He announced.
Without warning Buffy opened the door. Giles fell to the ground with a graceless thud.
Buffy stepped back quickly, not wanting to get landed on.
"So its over. And you and Riley are.." Willow asked curiously.
"We're over. I guess. He really wasn't good for me, you know." Willow nodded at her statement.
Xander got up off the floor and then helped Anya up.
Anya quickly marched past Buffy, headed to the fridge.
Giles had pulled himself up and had gone towards the living room. Willow followed close behind.
Spike approached Buffy slowly. Her head was down.
"You ok luv?" Spike drawled, coming close enough to almost touch her.
A sob hitched in her throat.
"Why?"
"'Why' what pet?"
"Why is it that every guy I'm with finds a way to leave.or hurt me."
Spike softly touched her shoulders.
"First I sleep with Angel, he goes evil, becomes good again, and then leaves me. Parker never calls the next day. He had already moved on to the next freshman to fuck. And then Riley with his cheating on me. What am I doing wrong?"
"You 'aven't done anything wrong. It's just the blokes that you've been shacking up with. Not necessarily the greatest people on earth."
Spike pulled her in for a hug. Just holding her.
She held him tightly.
"So there's nothing wrong with me?" She mumbled into his chest.
"Not a damn thing. You're perfect."
He held her a little tighter. She softly cried into his chest.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"What do you think they're doing in there?" Willow asked Anya and Xander.
"They're probably having sex." Anya said, a knowing look covered her face.
Xander groaned.
"It doesn't sound like they are having sex. It sounds like Buffy is crying."
"She's probably just whimpering. I bet Spike has the ability to make women do that." She smiled brightly and turned on the TV.
Willow and Xander began watching the tiny TV as well. Hoping that Anya was wrong.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A/N: *sighs* Ok..as much as I'd love to write a Spike/Buffy sex scene I don't think I'm ready to make my writing abilities reach that far. So unless you write it for me you'll have to do without. Hope you liked this one.. I'm not sure about how much longer the story'll go. I suppose as long as I have ideas for it there will be new chapters. Thanks for the reviews and the support. It makes me want to continue with it.
On to the story!
