Chapter 3:

Spike

I sigh with relief when the bloody chick flick finally ends. I gaze at the blonde head laying on my shoulder. I nudge her gently but she doesn't move. She must of fell asleep during the movie. I am surprised I didn't notice but my mind kept wandering to just wanting to kiss her passionately to having just a friendship.

I nudge her again and she moans.

"Buffy, luv, wake up." I whisper in her ear gently.

"No." She mumbles circling her arm around my waist.

"No, bastard, die." She mumbles incoherently. Must be some dream, I wonder. Then I hear the name Angel come softly out her lips. Then it dawns on me who she is dreaming of. That bloody bastard!

I shake her more roughly to wake her out of her nightmare. She immediately shoots straight up and looks up at me rubbing her eyes.

"Must have been some nightmare pet." I say with concern.

She looked at me and blushes and then looks away. "Well some parts were," she looks back at me. "Others weren't." She mutters.

"What parts weren't?" I ask curiously. She playfully tickles my ribcage.

"That sir is none of your business." She says in a ladylike tone.

I look at her and smirk. I stretch my arms out to awaken my stiff muscles. "Well I am off to bed pet, night." I pat her knee and start walking up the stairs with her behind me.

Before I can walk in my room I hear her sweet voice behind me.

"Spike, umm, this will seem awkward but can you stay with me tonight." I barely heard her cause she was whispering.

"What did you say?" I ask.

She blushes deeply and mumbles' nevermind and walks quickly into her room closes the door behind her.

I do the same and walk into my room taking my tee shirt and pants off. As soon as I lay my head on the pillow memories come rushing forward.

Bloody hell! Where the hell is Dru? I look around the dance floor after my dance with Buffy. First of all I was hoping Dru wasn't around to see me kiss Buffy. And now that I can't find the bloody git I am getting a little nervous.

I walk out the double doors of the dance floor to outside the school to have a smoke. I grab my smokes and lighter out of my inside jacket pocket. I look at the suit I have on. Bloody penguin suit. I can't wait till this is over and I can welcome the feel of my leather duster.

Before I could light my smoke I spot a girl in a maroon dress. It immediately registers that the owner of that dress is Buffy. I walk over to her to find her head between her legs and the sound of her sobbing.

I sit down quietly next to her. She lifts her eyes to me. "Leave me alone." She whispers hoarsely.

"I don't think I can pet." I pat her on the back. "Tell me what has you out here and not in there?"

She looks at me eyes wide. That's when I hear the high pitched voice of my girlfriend.

"Spike." I turn around to see Dru standing there with her hands on her hips glaring at Buffy. What shocks me the most is the way I see Buffy shooting daggers at Dru.

"Where have you been?" She asks hands still on hips.

I got up and took hold of her hands. "I should ask you that question." She looks towards me and Buffy nervously. Why is she nervous?

"I wasn't feeling good, can we please leave honey?" She asks with pleading eyes.

"Of course." I say a quick goodbye to Buffy and walk Dru to the limo to go home.

I snap out of my thoughts of that night. Bloody Dru and her impeccable timing. I get out of bed knowing I will not get sleep tonight and walk downstairs to the kitchen.

When I make it to the entrance of the kitchen I am surprised to find Buffy sitting on a stool near the counter. I walk towards her back and whisper in her ear.

"Hey pet."

Startled she turns to look at me and smiles. Then she looks me up and down and blushes. I look down at myself and realize I am only in my bloody boxers. Oh well.

"I couldn't sleep." She groans and lays her head on the counter her hands behind her neck massaging what looks like a sore spot.

I gently put the length of her golden hair over one shoulder and replace her hands with my own.

Buffy

Oh god his hands feel so good. I shiver under his touch, not from cold but the pleasure of his hands and warm breath massaging my neck. I realize the little moans I hear are coming from me. I sigh contently enjoying this moment.

"Bloody hell you smell so good." I hear him mumble.

Then I feel his lips on my neck brushes gently on the skin then suckling gently on my tender spot. I moan in little breathy puffs my mind reeling. I try to think about what is happening but all I can think about is his lips on my neck. Hi arms encircle my waist pulling me off the stool. I turn around and gaze into his eyes dark pools of blue meeting my hazel eyes that I am sure are just as dark.

He looks hungrily at my lips and I stand on my toes and tilt my head to the side as he leans in closer. His lips brush mine in the sweetest kiss I have ever known. I respond back my tongue caressing his bottom lip seeking entrance. He grabs me by the shoulders and pulls me away.

Now I am hurt and confused.

"Spike." I gingerly place my hands on his shoulder. He pulls back like I am on fire. He turns around. I try searching his eyes for a sign that will tell me what's wrong.

"I can't, we can't." He mumbles. Looking at me guiltily.

"What, why can't we?" I ask still confused.

He looks at me like a lost puppy and my heart sinks at his next words.

"Dru."
