The bathtub was filling while Buffy brushed her hair out. This day was like
the never-ending day and now a bath was the only way to end it, all
thoughts of certain blonde haired people could leave her mind. She took off
her robe and checked the water, perfect she thought.
Buffy was about to enter when she heard the door knob turn, she figured it was Dawn and turned around to yell at her and saw a very, very shocked looking Spike.
"Oh My God" Spike said aloud in shock.
Buffy, however, broke that trance and started yelling at him to shut the door. Spike quickly shut it and couldn't believe what he had just seen. Oh My God was about the only thought going through his head.
***Downstairs***
Dawn hear Buffy yelling to shut the door and then a slam, Dawn smirked to herself. That's what you get for not telling me you know a rock star.
***Bathroom***
Oh my god Buffy thought. I can't ever look at him again, he saw me naked. Very, Very Naked, I'll never be able to look at him again. He wasn't supposed to be here, and why didn't he knock, oh my gosh he saw me naked.
Buffy slipped her robe on and prepped herself for talking to him, okay no big deal, I'll just act like it never happened.
***Hall***
Well it's not like I can just act like I didn't see what I just saw Spike thought to himself and he's tried to mentally sort out this debacle. All of a sudden the door opened to reveal a blushing Buffy standing there looking very nervous.
"Hi" Buffy whispered.
"Listen I'm really, really-" Spike started apologizing.
"What are you doing here?" Buffy interrupted.
Spike looked down at his shoes, "I was just wondering if you wanted to get some coffee, and that girl downstairs said I could come up and you wouldn't mind"
"Dawn, I just love having a little sister." Buffy muttered sarcastically, when a thought hit her, "I thought you said we couldn't be friends?"
"Well, funny thing happened today" Spike started and received a serious look from Buffy, "You see Wes went to check out the bookstore you guys have and he met this girl that works there and now he's smitten with her"
"Great" Buffy said with no emotion.
"And that means he doesn't care if we talk, go out, or you know, date . . ." Spike drifted off.
"I don't know" Buffy said quietly.
"How come?" Spike asked confused.
"Because, not even twenty-four hours ago you told me couldn't date and probably couldn't be friends and now that your friend has a girl you're free, feelin' the love in this room" Buffy said angrily.
"No" Spike said anger rising, "It's not like that, it's just, would you date someone your friend had feelings for and asked out first?"
Buffy thought about asking out Xander or Oz or . . .Tara, well never mind, but she wouldn't. "I guess you're right" Buffy conceded
"So does that mean you wanna go out?" Spike said with hope rising.
"I don't-" Buffy started.
"Just coffee" Spike offered.
Buffy thought about this and nodded, "Let me just go get some clothes"
***Espresso Pump***
" . . .since my mom died I've been working pretty much full time at the Magic Box." Buffy finished.
"Do you like it?" Spike questioned.
"Well I see my one of my best friends, Anya, every day, all day. Wait a minute that's not a pro" Buffy laughed jokingly, "I mean, the pay's good and the hours are flexible so I can pick up Dawn from school when Xander has to pull extra hours on site."
"But do you like it?" Spike prodded.
"I don't know" Buffy said looking into her frappachino, "I don't not like it"
"See, when I'm performing, live, I feel so alive and love what I'm doing and feel at home right where I should." Spike said trying to explain what he meant.
"I don't feel that way about the job, but you're famous so . . .and I'm just a little, small town girl of Sunny-D trying to make it. I don't have the same opportunities you do." Buffy explained her side.
"Yeah you do" Spike said, almost convincingly, "Hate to go after-school special on you but you can do anything you put your mind to."
Buffy chuckled humorlessly at this, "I don't have time to chase after silly dreams in hope of making something of myself. I have to raise a sixteen year old girl, I don't have time to mess around."
Spike's heart went out for this girl, at her age he was promoting his first album and touring, smoking, drinking, living the rock and roll life. This wasn't fair she should have a choice; she shouldn't be chained to this life because she has to raise her sister.
"But you know it's okay" Buffy said interrupting his thoughts, "I mean Dawn turns eighteen in two years and then I'll have time to explore if I feel like it you know, maybe I can go back to college and get my masters in something, who knows?"
"Yeah" Spike nodded not wanting to ruin her spirit.
"So tell me about your life, what is it like having hormone driven girls in tube tops throwing themselves at you?" Buffy said with a laugh.
"Well, you see I try not to think about it like that" Spike said going along with her story, "You see I think of them as fans who . . ." Spike continued as they talked until the shop closed.
***Buffy's House***
"You really didn't have to walk me home" Buffy said bashfully, "I can handle myself"
"I know" Spike said staring at her intently, "I was listening, black belt in karate, don't mess with Buffy"
Buffy laughed softly, "Well I had a lot of fun tonight"
"Me too" Spike agreed.
Buffy looked up at him and stared into his eyes. They were so blue Buffy noticed, like oceans, or Kool-Aid, or bright blue paint.
Buffy's thoughts were interrupted when she noticed Spike inching closer to her. His lips met hers in a soft, chaste kiss. His forehead rested on hers, "Can I take you out tomorrow night?" Spike asked nervously.
"Let me think" Buffy said with a smile, "Ok."
Spike took her hand and gave it a kiss, "See you tomorrow, seven okay?"
Buffy nodded as he walked away. I take that back Buffy thought, a bath wasn't the perfect way to end the day.
