***Los Angeles***
"Wes I gotta leave, L.A.'s driving me fucking crazy, Dru royally fucked me." Spike yelled to his manager Wes.
"William I know-" Wes started.
"It's Spike" Spike yelled, "And no you don't fucking know! Everywhere I go there's someone looking at me! I go to get a cup of coffee and read the paper and there's more bullshit that Dru is telling to every fucking person who will listen!"
Spike, the lead singer of America's number one band Blonde Hands, was going through a very public breakup with Drusilla Collins, England's favorite model.
"Wes you have to get me out of here I can't take it anymore, I just can't take it anymore" Spike said desperately.
Wes nodded, "Fine, you're not on tour for a couple of months, and yeah that's fine"
Spike put his face in his hands and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God" he muttered.
***Sunnydale***
Buffy woke up early in the morning and went for a jog. She took her shower, as usual, when she got home. Then she woke up Dawn and made her breakfast.
Soon after Dawn came down for breakfast her roommates Tara and Willow joined Dawn for breakfast while holding hands and kissing each other's temples.
Buffy told the three good bye and headed to the Magic Box. She worked at the shop that her uncle, Rupert Giles, and friend Anya owned. She had worked there since her mom died a year ago from a brain aneurysm and needed extra cash and something to take her mind off of everything. Plus now that college was over she needed a steady job. All of her friends had them, Xander was a construction worker, Tara and Willow worked at a pet shop, Cordy worked at the new clothing store Lucky's in downtown Sunnydale, and Oz worked at Guitar World.
Luckily her mom left her and Dawn enough money for hospital bills, household stuff, and Dawn's college tuition to UC Sunnydale. Dawn was starting when the summer was over and was extremely excited.
This was her morning every morning; this was her life. She lived in a town called Sunnydale where nothing happens, ever. And Buffy was sure nothing was gonna change anytime soon.
***Two Weeks Later***
"So Buff," Xander started, "how was the movie"
"Splendid," Buffy deadpanned, "I can't think of anything better then sitting through another Arnold Schwarzenegger come back"
Willow chuckled, "Why did you even agree to go with Riley then?"
"I don't know," Buffy, sighed, "Guess Sunnydale's infamous boredom got the best of me"
"You could have gone shopping with us," Cordelia said.
"Bored not desperate, Cordy" Buffy said as she sat down and Cordelia shrugged.
Buffy, Xander, Willow, and Cordy were all at the Magic Box helping Buffy with customers and what not. Anya had a date with her boyfriend Oz and begged Buffy to handle the shop alone today and then Buffy begged the gang to help her handle the shop. She won them over by promising pizza goodness and a movie marathon at her house after work.
"Buff," Xander said pointing to the backroom as Cordelia kissed his neck "me and Cordy are gonna go to the back room to . . . find something, yeah find something."
Buffy rolled her eyes at the two and with that they were gone. Xander and Cordy had been going out since their junior year at Sunnydale High and are completely in love. All of her friends were in serious relationships. Willow and Tara started dating during their first year of college and have been going strong since. Anya and Oz began dating their sophomore year of college after Oz finally got over the whole Willow being gay fiasco. Buffy dated this guy named Angel until about a year and a half ago when he decided to transfer to Harvard to study law. Since then Buffy dated a couple guys casually, one of those being Riley Finn, possibly the most dull man in history. We're including all dead presidents here. Nothing serious though, just a boring old romantic life.
The bell on top of the magic box door rang and a tall man with sandy brown hair entered. Buffy thought he was kinda cute, in a smart 007 kind of way.
"Hi can I help you?" Buffy asked greeting the man.
"Yes" the man, said, "my friend said you carry the Orb of Thesulus which I hear makes a marvelous paperweight."
"Well your friend would be right" Buffy said as she walked towards the orb, "Any specific color? We got red, blue, and clearish silvery color-thing"
"Blue would be nice, please" the man kindly said.
"Sure let me ring this up for you" Buffy said. As she did so she couldn't help but notice that this man was cute and he didn't have a tan line on his ring finger, which was good. Maybe she should seize the day and ask him out. She glanced over at Willow who as usual read her thoughts and gave her a goofy smile and the thumbs up sign and Buffy glared not so menacingly at her.
"So you new in town?" Buffy questioned.
"Yes actually I just came here from L.A.," the man said with a smile as he grabbed his bag. He thought the girl in front of him was cute; definitely his type but he could use a new friend in town.
"Big change of pace" Buffy commented.
"Yes I suppose it is," he said with a halfhearted smile.
"What made you come here?" Buffy questioned, wanting to learn more about the new man in town.
"Job conflicts" he said as he shifted his weight on his feet.
"Oh," Buffy said deciding she was gonna go for it, "You know me and my friends are having pizza and a movie at my place tonight and if you wanna come, you could you know."
"I wish I could but I have to keep my roommate, boss, company tonight" Wes said regretfully.
"Oh" Buffy said disappointedly.
"However if you wouldn't mind two people . . ." Wes trailed.
"Your friend is welcome" Buffy said happily.
"That sounds good then," Wes smiled.
"Yeah, so here are directions" Buffy said as she scribbled some down on paper, "And come anytime after 7"
"Sounds great" Wes said as he started walking off, "by the way my name's Wes"
"Buffy" she responded dumbly.
***Spike & Wes's Apartment***
"I'm not going over to some random chit's bleeding house" Spike shouted at Wes.
"Come on Spike" Wes prodded, "If you are serious about making a new life here you should make some friends and this is the perfect opportunity"
"Bloody hell" Spike grumbled, "If this chit turns out to be a fucking psycho, you're responsible for my death"
"Yeah, yeah" Wes said excitedly. He hadn't had a girlfriend in a long time.
***Buffy's House***
Buffy was setting up the pizzas and movies while her friends looked at her while laughing. "Xander get your feet off the table" Buffy yelled.
Xander moved his feet quickly while Cordelia laughed at him, "Scared of a girl Xander?" Cordy taunted.
"Cordy clean up that spill" Buffy shouted at Cordy and she quickly obeyed. At this Xander laughed and received evil glares from both Cordy and Buffy.
"So Buffy" Willow said casually as she patted Tara's leg, "you're not overly uptight tonight for any specific reason are you?"
"No, no why would I be." Buffy said calmly.
"She's got a hot guy coming over," Dawn said as she entered the living room, "I saw her actually move the laundry from the couch which she would never do for you guys, so that means hot guy comin'"
"Dawn aren't you supposed to be going over to Janice's" Buffy said as she shooed her out the door.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm going" Dawn said as she waved good-bye to the others.
"So Buff, we're not clean couch material." Xander said as he shoved some popcorn in his mouth and put his feet on the table.
Buffy shot him a nasty look, "Get your feet off the table and it's his first time over and I want the house to look not like a total slob lives in it."
"But total slobs do live in it" Willow giggled.
Before Buffy had time to reply the doorbell rang and she ran to the bathroom to check herself in the mirror and then ran to the door to open it.
The door opened revealing Wes and a very, very hot looking man.
"Hi" Buffy stuttered.
"Ello Luv" Spike said as he grabbed the trembling girl's hand and kissed it.
Wes pushed past the two who were obviously smitten with each other and entered the house slightly annoyed.
"Oh, Hi Wes" Buffy said never taking her eyes off the blonde man.
"Hi, this is my friend Spike" Wes introduced him.
"Buffy, my name." Buffy said as she troubled herself with putting together a complete sentence, "Yeah Buffy is my name."
Spike chuckled at the girl; he had never seen anyone prettier. She was the complete opposite of Dru in an amazing way.
Buffy finally broke out of her trance and introduced the two to her friends. "Okay guys this is Wes and Spike" she said pointing between the two. "Wes, Spike, this is Xander, Cordy, Willow, Tara, Oz, and Anya."
Spike and Wes waved at the slightly overwhelming group of people. "Holy shit!" Cordy yelled breaking the silence.
"Sorry" Xander said as he patted Cordelia's hand, "She forgot to take her medicine this morning"
"Shut up Xander," Cordy said as she slapped him on the chest. "You're the lead singer of Blonde Hands! He's the lead singer of Blonde Hands. Did you know you're the lead singer of Blonde Hands?"
Spike shifted nervously, "Uh . . .yeah. Kinda hoping you didn't though"
"How can you not?" and Spike motioned to the other confused faces around the room, "Oh them, they know absolutely nothing about music. Take no offense"
"Uh, thanks luv" Spike said cautiously throwing Wes a look saying crap. Spike really wanted to keep his being in Sunnydale on the down low. However, with people like Cordelia the chances were slim to none.
***Later That Night***
The night had gone relatively smooth. Buffy and Spike snuck glances at each other the whole night. Her, Spike, and Wes were the only people not making out during the movies. It was a bit uncomfortable, probably because Buffy was sitting in between Spike and Wes. Wes was supposed to be her date. Well, not really but he was date-like. And she was totally attracted to his friend, best friend according to the duo. She was so screwed.
"You know what I'm gonna go get something to drink" Buffy whispered as she walked into the kitchen and put cold water on her face.
"Hey" Spike said startling Buffy.
"Oh, hi" Buffy said awkwardly.
"I was just wondering if I could get a glass of water?" Spike questioned.
"Yeah sure" Buffy said as she carried out the requested task. She handed them the glass and there hands brushed against each other and sent shivers down both their spines. This caused both to let go of the glass and cause it to break.
The two both bent down at the same time repeating sorry to the other. Buffy looked at Spike when she realized he wasn't picking up the glass anymore, instead he was looking intensely at her.
Before either of them knew what was happening they were kissing. It was the best kiss either of them had ever had, ever.
"What happened? I thought I heard something bre-" Wes said as he walked into the kitchen causing Spike and Buffy to pull apart and look at him shocked at their own actions.
"Oh God" Wes said.
