We Are JUST Friends:

CHAPTER 9:

Ford continued his game and winked at Buffy, Spike just draw her closer to him. Cordy and Xander were well aware of the tension that was building by the second, this was not going to end well. The tense ambient was conveniently broken by Willow and Oz who approached them, holding hands, fingers linked, with a look of conspiracy on their faces, Amy couldn't help but to make a joke "Oz, your fly's open, what were you doing?", they all started laughing no stop, Spike just smiled. Luckily, the tension had disappeared, for now.

But Spike still felt a little bit insecure and dragged Buffy with him to a set of swings Xander had on his house. "Do you want me to swing you?" Spike asked playfully. Buffy felt like 7 again and immediately got on one of the swings. Spike brought her back and fort, enjoining the thong that was peeking through her jeans. Buffy wasn't thinking about that, although she did notice her thong sliding up; she was so free, it was amazing what getting on a swing could do to her, she felt like a child and liberated. "We should do this more often" Buffy suddenly said, "What luv, the swings deal?" Buffy giggled, "Yeah". Spike grabbed the swing's chain and stopped it, he then kissed Buffy's neck from behind, she moaned softly. He continued causing her head to lean back, he then caught her mouth in the most mind-numbing kiss. "Buffy, I Lo-"

But life is not perfect and rusty chains do break. With a loud crush Buffy's swing lost one chain, but Spike was quick enough to grab her, he lifted her, turned her around and then they were face to face. "Thanks" she whispered "No problem" he managed to say before leaning forward and kissing her again, very softly this time. Their moment was ruined by everyone finding them, apparently chains do sound and people have ears. Ford was the first to come in. "I fell" Buffy said clumsily. "She fell" Spike admitted. Buffy and Spike looked so nervous you would have thought they were doing the nasty, but the truth is that the moment was so intimate that the interruption was really a BIG mistake. Ford was the one that broke the uncomfortable silence that had fell upon them. "Xander! You should really keep these in better shape, Are you OK Buffy? Can I give you anything?" Spike was not handling the situation anymore "Listen mate, if she wants anything her bloody BOYFRIEND will bring it to her, Got that clear?" Spike blurted out. Buffy didn't seem to pleased to be treated like this. "If I want anything I will ask it to whoever I want" She stated, she then smiled and took Ford by the arm "Come on Ford, I need something from the kitchen" She then walked away leaving a hurt and surprised Spike back.

Willow noticed the look in his Big-Brother's face and went to him, "Spike, I'm sure she's just mad about the over-protective stuff" Willow tried to comfort him. Spike just ran out to the kitchen, she was not leaving the situation at this point.

Buffy and Ford arrived at the kitchen, he cornered her and Buffy laughed, she still thought this was part of her spontaneous plan, but then Ford crushed his mouth against hers. "Ford, get off, what the hell's the matter with you?!?!?!" Ford gave her an obvious look and then moved in again. Buffy slapped him hard, and left. Spike found her at the entrance of the kitchen. "Luv, I'm so sorry, I didn't meant to be like that, it's just that I got the idea Ford was hitting on you for some reason" Buffy just nuzzled against his neck sniffing the leather-whiskey-tobacco combination she never forgot. She then looked at him, her eyes pleading for forgiveness, "You weren't wrong, he tried to kiss me in there, but I don't hit like a girl so you have nothing to worry about." Spike looked furious, he clenched his teeth, "is the poof still in there?" "No, no, no Spike, I just hit him, you don't have to" Spike smiled between his anger, "I know I don't have to, it's just that I want to" "Let's just leave it at that" she pouted and he gave in so quickly you wouldn't believe it. He then saw Willow and Oz kissing a few meters from there. "What the hell?"
