CHAPTER FOUR

"Ok ya big poof I'm gonna ask you one more time, where is Buffy?" Spike demanded knowing that in his now human state he wasn't very threatening to the vampire before him.

"And I'm going to tell you one more time, William, I will not tell you where she is." Angel said in a low menacing tone.

Spike had heard that tone of voice before, it was a warning that he should stop right there and leave Angel (or maybe Angelus would be more appropriated) alone. Most people would have listened, but then again Spike wasn't most people. He had never bowed down to Angel and he wasn't about to start now.

However Spike did know when to stop, it was simple he had given Angel chance upon chance to tell him where Buffy was himself now the only thing left to do was to go behind his back.

"Fine but you tell me this, she is alive and well?" Spike said lowering his head fooling Angel into thinking that he had won.

"Yes Spike she is very much alive and well, that is the reason I won't tell you where she is, she needs this." Angel explained hoping that the younger man would understand.

"Maybe." Was Spike's only answer as he left the room, smiling.

CLEVELAND

Dave was stood by the CD player in Buffy's living room flicking through the few Cd's she had and by the look on his face Buffy could tell that he wasn't impressed.

"You don't have many." Dave observed pointing to her collect.

"Well no, we er, we had a fire at our last home took out all my stuff." Buffy lied.

'Great way to start Buffy lying to the guy already' she thought kicking herself. This was not the was she wanted to start her new life as a young single twenty-something, she hadn't wanted to lie.

"Well love were gonna have to introduce you to some proper music." Dave stated, "Ever heard of The Smiths?"

The puzzled look on Buffy's face answered the question for him, "What are they like British?"

She looked at the man in front of her, he sure was sexy. This could be fun Dave was wild and not in the 'you're a creature of the night' kind of way. She watched him dance to the music he'd just put on, he really didn't care and he also looked like he'd be great in bed.

Buffy stood and approached him.

Dave watched her walk towards him, 'this is too easy' he thought 'I'd thought she'd give me a bit of a chase.'

"Dave I've had a great evening, I'd like to do it again." Buffy said in a low seductive voice.

"Yeah, breakfast would be nice." Dave said with a cheeky boyish grin.

He leant down to grab her, to kiss her, to get her into bed. Buffy let him kiss her on her lips but stopped it there. "Goodnight David."

Dave couldn't believe what he was hearing, she was telling him goodnight as in he wasn't going to get to stay over. It had been a good few years since a woman had done that to him, and god did it make him want her more.

"Ok then I'll call you." He said in a state of shock as Buffy handed him his coat.

Buffy leant up kissed him on the cheek and showed him the door.

"Go Buffy!" She said to herself as the door closed behind him.

'Yay me, I just totally left that guy wanting me! I knew that I'd be suited to this dating for fun thing!' She thought as she danced around the room.

"What's with you?" Dawn asked when she came home and saw Buffy sat of the sofa with a grin a mile wide.

"That guy I was telling you about, Dave, well he just left." Buffy said smiling to herself.

"And that's a good thing why?" Dawn asked not following her sister's logic.

"Because I know that he's defiantly coming back."

"Cool." Dawn said as she made her way upstairs to her own living quarters.

Dawn wondered if Buffy still thought about Spike, or even what her real feeling towards him had been. Spike died to save them all and now Buffy was dating again which was good but at the same time not good for the memory of Spike.

'I wish you were still around' Dawn said to Spike even though she knew that he wasn't there but she still hoped he could hear her.
