The End and Beginning
Chp. 30
"Whew I'm so glad we got out of there." Buffy exclaims as she and Spike walk out of the office and away from the dreaded research.
"I don't really mind the research, Pet, but I'd rather be out there kickin' some nasties arse, than lookin' at some old, and musty books." Spike chuckles, "We're more of the slash'em trash'em types anyway."
"Yeah, we are, baby, but I think we should at least try to help them with. It's just that it's so boring, and monotonous. It always takes like forever to figure just one little thing out, and then it hardly ever makes any sense when we do find something. Then it's on to OH LOOK! More research."
He pulls her to him, hugging, and laughing quietly in her ear. "Yea, baby I know it seems that way, but you gotta do the research to get where you're goin'." He catches her ear, which now has the earrings he bought her in them, between his teeth, nibbling it slightly and playing with the back of the earring he finds there, with his tongue.
"We need to get that amulet to Wills and see if she can figure anything out from it." She says and then hisses as he starts on her ear. Under her breath she says, "Room, now!" where he's the only one in the room that can hear her.
"Luv, we just left the room, not fifteen minutes ago and now you want to go back." He lets go of her. Turning her around and chuckling, at the unrestrained desire in her eyes, his eyes turn a dark sapphire, and he smiles down on her.
"Oh, Yes." She answers, as she grabs his hand and drags him upstairs.
Hell he could really care less that she's about to rip his arm off, as she drags him after her. He's already getting hard just from the thought of what will happen when they get back to the room. He stumbles on the first few steps as she drags him up them. This slows her down enough for him to regain his balance. "Pet, slow the bloody hell down or we're gonna be headin' to the emergency room instead of the comfy bed in the room, 'cause my legs gonna be broken from fallin' back down these bloody stairs."
She slows her pace as they reach the last few steps. Finally at the top without any injuries, they run into Dawn. Who's returning to the lobby, from her room.
Dawn notices her sister and her ex-vamp sorta, and smirks. "Hey Buff, Spike."
"Hey Dawnie, where are you headed?" Buffy says, to her not so little sister.
"Oh, I'm just going down to make sure Xander and Andrew don't kill each other, over that video game. See if I can't play a little too."
The couple looks at her stunned.
"What, it's totally boring around here. I just want something to do." She says in explanation to the stunned looks. "If we went back to the law firm I wouldn't be bored then."
Buffy gets the hint. She smiles at her sister, who is slightly red in the face. " We'll see. I'm sure we'll end up back there eventually. I know you want to see your new boyfriend," she says in a tone that could be called teasing.
Dawn hangs her head, and stomps down the stairs in complete and total embarrassment now.
Buffy turns to watch Dawns little tantrum and giggles at her. "She's so easy."
"Pet that wasn't very nice." Spike chuckles.
"What? She always teased me about my boyfriends; I think turn abouts fair play. Plus, it was funny."
"Yea, Luv, it actually was. Still not nice though."
"What would you know about nice?"
"Hey, I'm always nice to the people that matter to me, except the whelp."
"Xander matters to you?"
"He matters to you don't he? So yea he matters, just not as much as the rest of you soddin' Scoobs."
"Are you sure you're Spike and if not. Where the hell is he?" She turns to him and starts running her nails over his t-shirt clad chest. She looks up at him and melts as she looks in his smirking and raised eyebrow expression. "There's my Spike, he just got lost for a second, didn't he?"
She looks back down and Spike senses the change in her mood and tenses up. Lifting her chin up to search her eyes, he sees the tears pooling in them. He tilts his head. Wiping away one lone tear that has run down her cheek, he whispers, "What's with the water works, Swee'art?" He hugs her to him. "Is there something I can do?" He hates to see his goddess crying, it breaks his heart. He wipes another tear from her face with his thumb and raises it to his mouth, kissing the salty wetness off with his lips.
"You already have." she whispers and takes his hand in hers, leading him back to their room.
He shuts the door behind him and soon as he turns around, she's in his arms, sobbing, and clutching onto him like he's her lifeline.
He gently pushes her off his chest, still holding her by the arms, he stares into here eyes intently and ask "What's wrong, baby? What did I do?"
"It's just, it finally hit me."
"What finally hit you, Pet?" He says, hugging her back to his chest, cuddling and patting her back in a comforting way.
"You're here and after what happened. . . I thought that I'd never see you again. That hurt more than you could ever know. The last thing I said to you was sooo the truth and you didn't believe it, you really broke my heart, even more than Angel did when he left me, more than when Riley did. I showed you exactly what I felt for you and it hurt, it hurt so much."
"Oh Sweet 'art. I know exactly what you felt in that moment. Remember it happened to me too. I loved you and you said I couldn't, because I didn't have a soul. Then I went and got one, because I couldn't stand the thought that you couldn't believe me when I told you. You died and I didn't think I'd ever set eyes on you again. My heart was broken for 147 days, Pet. Then after you came back, it broke my heart that they had pulled you out of heaven. That whole year my heart was broken, I couldn't take it, and although I did try to make it better for you it always seemed to make it worse, though. I loved you so soddin' much, still do, but I just wanted to make everything alright for my goddess."
He then smiles trying to lighten up the mood, he smirks and says, "Plus you know it's gonna take more than death to get rid of me. You should know that by now."
She looks up at him and smiles, and then giggles, " Even when I wanted you gone, you just wouldn't leave." She states, wiping her tears on his shirt.
He leans down to place a chaste kiss on her lips. "See I'm a persistent, bugger. You brought me back this time, though."
"Actually." She starts to say.
"No, Luv, if you hadn't thought of it, I wouldn't be standin' here, holdin' you in my arms, like I am. Now would I?"
"Well, no, but."
"No buts, Luv."
"You. . . You were the one that had my back through the whole thing, and when I seen the. . . What that amulet was doing, I knew in that split moment. When I took your hand, I knew that I loved you and that you weren't going to get out of there. I had to tell you, because I wanted to know that I returned your love. You left me just like all the others, and I couldn't let you. I think I've always loved you in some way or other. I just couldn't admit to myself and definitely wouldn't admit to anyone else. You were the enemy, I couldn't love you or just wouldn't let myself."
*Oh, Jesus! She's crying again* His grip tightens, crushing her to him even more.
She looks up at him, eyes glistening with unshed tears, and breathes out "Spike oxygen, it's a good thing."
He looks down into her red rimmed, hazel eyes and chuckles. He loosens his grip slightly.
As he chuckles Buffy feels it through her whole body. It makes a shock of pleasure run through her. It feels damned good.
"Sorry, Pet." He whispers against the top of her head, then kisses it and loosens his grip more to lean her back and look directly in her hazel orbs. He sees her love for him in them, and smiles.
As he looks in her eyes, she leans in and kisses him passionately, and with all the love she can put into a kiss.
As she kisses him, he can feel that love running off of her in waves and they wash over him, bathing him in the light of his golden goddess.
(God I know that ending was kinda cheesy, but I think it got my point across at least I hope it did. Any way I want to thank five-bird for her review and everyone else that has reviewed, girl you have one amazing story going on there, keep it up. Also want to apologize about the updates being few and far between, but there's only like two or three more chappy's for this part of this story, then a little pov piece that goes with it then a whole new story for this verse. Then I started another post- Chosen fic that has a surprise to it. Hope everyone liked this chappy will try to update next week sometime, if not it'll be Saturday. Hang in there. I promise that they'll be up. Also this chappy bout as angsty as I can get for some reason.)
