Chapter Thirteen
After their truce, Buffy and Spike got along better. Buffy learned to be more comfortable in front of the camera with Spike's help after all they did have a lot of scenes together. Yet somehow, whenever they'd have a scene with Scott, Spike couldn't help but feel a little tug at his heart. It's not like Buffy and Scott were dating and well come to think of it Spike and Buffy never really dated as well. Yet now, things were different and Spike slowly realized that maybe he actually had feelings for Buffy. Feelings of more than friendship and finally it hit him: 'Was he jealous?'
Spike wasn't sure of his answer until the day that he had to shoot his first kissing scene with Buffy. He was a nervous wreck about it. What's worse was that Scott had decided to come and watch since he was free at that time. When it was time for it, Buffy and him went to their marks said their lines then he took her into him arms and kissed her. When their lips touched it was as if the whole room had faded away and it was just the two of them there. It was a perfect kiss and spike couldn't help but notice how right the feeling of having her in his arms seemed. A few seconds later Mr. Giles yelled cut and it was over.
"Well, well, well, well, Normally I would have two or three more takes till I get the perfect shot but nothing could come closer to perfection than that. So let's move on to the next scene people."
Spike went to Buffy and asked: "So how was it? Your first on-screen kiss."
"I was so nervous." Buffy confided.
Suddenly Scott was by their side. "Great job." He told Buffy. "Hey tomorrow is a free day. No shooting. Do you want to go sho..."
Spike cut him off. "We should really... um... practice and run over our lines so as not to waste time tomorrow. What do you think?" he asked Buffy.
"Um, well sure okay. That's the right thing to do especially since Mr. Giles is so hard to please."
"Yes, yes exactly. Good thinking Spike." Scott said. "Hey I think Mr. Giles is calling us over, let's go." As he and Buffy left.
Spike stood there for a while, he couldn't believe what had gone over him. He really was jealous!
"Mr. James!" Mr. Giles called as Spike went over there.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The rest of the weeks went by with a blur. Spike's feelings grew but he never acted on them especially since Buffy seemed to not feel anything more than friendship about him. No point in embarrassing himself by declaring his love. Also if he did that, Buffy might get mad and why ruin their renewed friendship.
Buffy though was feeling the same way, but she never acted on her feelings either feeling as though Spike might just laugh at her.
Time went by and pretty soon, the movie was finished and they were already celebrating the wrap party...
There was a festive mood all around. After three months of hard work of filming, the movie was done and now all they had to do was unwind. The whole cast and all the crew were there. Even some of the producers were there. Mr. Giles even brought his boyfriend Vladimir. Everyone was happy... except for two people that is. Spike and Buffy. They both had feelings for each other yet neither willing to take the first step and make a move. Neither was willing to take the risk.
Buffy was currently talking to some people while Spike was alone near the drinks getting some water to drink. Buffy saw that he was alone and excused herself. She wanted to talk to him before they separated. After all, they wouldn't see each other everyday anymore not like when they were filming.
"Spike." Buffy said as she came up to him.
"Buffy, hey! How are you?"
"Okay, how about you?"
"Oh you know, same old, same old."
"Gosh, I can't believe it's over. It seems like yesterday when I first stepped onto the set. Remember that first meeting?"
"How could I not?" Spike asked back. "You should have seen your face when you saw me. It was a mixture of hate and shock.'
"Yeah, but It got better. At least I don't hate you anymore." Buffy said with a laugh.
"Yeah, I know." Spike said looking into her eyes.
After that they both became quiet. Both of them didn't know what to say next. They just looked at each other. Neither breaking eye contact. It was as if there was an invisible force between them that made them unable to tear their eyes away from each other. Spike though: 'Well. It's now or never.' As he leaned in to kiss her.
Suddenly Scott appeared. "Hey guys, great party isn't it? Hey Buffy, we still on for tomorrow?" Scott asked.
"Uh, what did you say?" Buffy asked.
"Tomorrow, we still on right?'
"Yeah, I'll see you at lunch." Buffy confirmed.
"Cool." Scott said as he walked away.
The wheels in Spike's head were turning already though. 'Thank God, at least I didn't kiss her. I would have looked stupid. She has a date tomorrow, and if I had kissed her Scott might have killed me.' Spike thought with both relief and sadness. Relief that he wouldn't cause any problems and sad because he had to let Buffy go. There was already someone else.
"So, Spike..." Buffy began.
"Uh, I gotta go." Spike said.
"But what about the party?"
"I can't stay. Sorry luv. I have an early casting call tomorrow." Spike lied
"Oh, I understand." Buffy said a disappointment creeping into her voice.
"Yeah, well I guess this is goodbye for now." Spike said as he hugged her. Holding on to her for a little longer.
"Yeah, I guess so." Buffy said.
A/N: I know, I jumped a lot of time. I just didn't really want to deal with anymore acting scenes. Also I know the kissing part was not so nice. Take into account though that's it was the first time I have written one. Sorry it took so long. Something's wrong and I can't seem to upload. I just asked my friend to upload this for me, hopefully she'll continue to help me or else I might never be able to finish.
