Chapter 6
Dawn raced out of the room with Spike following fully intent on stopping Dawn. Buffy had finished dialing the number was waiting for it to pick up. Dawn and Spike crouched at the top of the stairs out of view.
"Hey Dru its Buffy"
"Umm do I know you" Dru asked.
"Buffy" she said again. "As in Summers"
"Oh Elizabeth hey, what's with the name"
"I decided I needed a change plus it's only shortened anyway, remember when Angel called me that"
"Oh yeah, I think so. So why you calling, you said you would call when you got settled in"
Buffy smiled "Well that's the thing I have got settled. I have a job and even a place to stay"
"Wow are you serious that is so great, how did you swing that"
"Well see I met this guy"
"Really is he cute"
"Dru he could be a stalker and you are asking if he is cute"
Spike frowned he only heard half the conversation but it was the half he didn't like. Buffy thought he was a stalker and there was that weird thing about her friend not knowing her. Spike stood up to leave but Dawn stopped him.
"So is he a stalker then" Dru asked annoyed.
"No, he's not a stalker"
"So is he cute"
"Dru"
"What that's all I want to know"
"I'll tell you later don't you want to know where I am staying"
Dru sighed. "Ok, I suppose I want to know what kinda place your living in"
Buffy smiled. "Ok well its really nice. Like I said I met this guy. His name is Spike"
"Spike" Dru, cried. "What kind of name is that? That's like the underwear guy from Notting Hill"
Buffy sighed. "His real name is William, I don't know how he got his nickname but I think its cool. Anyway I met him on campus he was the only person who talked to me. Everyone was looking at me like I was some freak and I was so wishing I was back home"
"Riley" Dru stated
"Ok well it wasn't that bad. So yeah I was looking at the campus notice board. There was like nowhere to live and the jobs were even worse, then Spike came up. I thought that maybe he was trying to hit on me but he was so nice. He told me there was an opening at the gallery where his father worked and he offered to drive me there"
"You didn't go did you" Dru asked surprised.
"Yes Dru I went. I know it was stupid but I had my alarm if anything went wrong and he seemed so nice"
"Just because he seemed nice doesn't mean he isn't an ax murderer"
"Dru he's not an ax murderer ok. He's a really nice guy. So anyway I went to the gallery and the owner interviewed me. Joyce was so nice, that's her name by the way, and she like gave me the job on the spot"
"Really that's great"
"I know but the best thing is she offered me a room at her house"
"Really wow maybe I should move there"
"Yeah its great. So I am living with her. All I have to do is work a few extra hours over time and be home to look over her daughter"
"Baby sitting Yuk give me the street anyday"
Buffy shook her head "No Dru it isn't baby sitting shes like 15. Joyce doesn't like leaving her home on her own. She just wants me to be here when she's not and it's late. It's actually kinda cool. She's really nice; it's like having a sister. It also gives me someone to talk to"
"So what's the house like?"
"Well its two story but it's not like huge or anything, nothing like home. That's what makes it so perfect. There's only Joyce, her daughter Dawn and me. No males and no maids, talk about sweet"
Dawn looked at Spike "maids" she mouthed to him.
Spike just shrugged his shoulders.
"Ok so enough about the happy family. Is Spike cute?"
Buffy sighed, "Ok yes Spike is cute"
Spike smiled and Dawn gave him the thumbs up sign.
"But not in the traditional cute way" Buffy added
Spike frowned and went to leave but Dawn shook her head at him.
"Traditional cute, what are you talking about" Dru asked.
"Well you know the, Tall, dark and handsome. Like Angel, traditional cute. Like what the fortune teller tells you"
"Yeah cause I would think Angel is cute, he's my brother. So dish what does he looks like"
Buffy thought for a second. "Ok well he's isn't tall but he is taller than me. He's got real pale skin"
"He's not a Goth is he" Dru asked
"No he's not a Goth, well I don't think he is, but he does dress in black. At first he was kinda scary looking but he's really sweet and gorgeous. Not to mention his eyes, they are so blue you lose yourself in them. I mean I have never seen eyes that blue. He's got this full tough guy thing happening but once you see those eyes you know he's going to be nice"
"Really can I have him?"
"No you can't have him"
"Does that mean your going to jump his bones" Dru asked eagerly.
"No I am not going to jump his bones" Buffy sighed.
"Why not you are obviously attracted to him"
"Yes I am attracted to him but I was attracted to Angel and look how that turned out. And Riley, ok I was never really attracted to him but look how that relationship turned out. Dru I am not ready for anything now. I don't really think it's appropriate to get into a relationship right now either"
Spikes mood had now turned. He really liked this girl but now she wasn't interested because of the past. She wasn't even going to give him a chance because of a couple of wankers. Spike got up and walked back into Buffys room.
Buffy heard a noise from up stairs and turned to look. Dawn quickly scuttled back.
"I better go Dru I left him upstairs with my stuff"
"Hey he might be going through your underwear. So go, so you can offer to model them."
"Dru" Buffy cried out in surprise.
"Just go I'll talk to you later"
Dawn quickly retreated back to the Buffys room and saw Spike sitting on the bed glumly.
"Hey don't worry about it. You just have to convince her that you're worth a go. Now act natural she's coming back"
Dawn picked up a shirt and turned to the mirror seeing how it looked on her.
"You like that shirt" Buffy asked coming in through the door.
Dawn looked at Buffy through the mirror.
"Yeah it's nice"
"Keep it" Buffy said sitting on the bed.
Dawn turned around surprised. "No I can't do that, its yours. I was just looking"
Buffy shook her head "Nah seriously keep it" she said getting up and walking over to the mirror. "Its looks better on you"
Dawn handed Buffy the shirt.
"Really I can't take it"
Buffy took the shirt from Dawn. "It looks crap on me cause its green"
Buffy held the shirt up. "See the green makes my hair look green and sick" she then held the shirt in front of Dawn. "But the green looks good with brown hair so keep it" she said laying it on Dawn.
Dawn smiled. "You sure"
"Yeah I bought three of them. I only bought the green cause there were three colors. I have a red and a black one that look better on me"
Dawn looked at the top and realised that the tag was still on it. Dawn's eyes bulged out when she saw the price.
"You have three of these," she stammered.
"Yeah so take it. It will give me some room in the cupboard. That way I can go shopping here and fill it up"
Dawn nodded then pulled the shirt over the one she was wearing. Dawn's new shirt had three quarter sleeves and was off the shoulder. Her other shirt was pocking out of the top.
"Oh just wear a strapless with it. I tried to just pull my straps to the side but the shirt moves to much"
Buffy then realised that Spike was in the room.
"Oh sorry I should save the girl talk for when your not here"
Spike shook his head. "Nah I went through the whole adolescent stage, I know all about bras and periods"
Buffy and Dawn burst out laughing.
"I mean with Dawn" Spike added.
The doorbell rang and Spike jumped up. "I'll get it," he said trying to avoid any future embarrassment.
