Chapter Eighteen

Buffy knew she should have knocked. She should have but she didn't. Now she regrets not doing so. Seeing Spike and this girl, whoever she was all over each was just too much to take. It's not like she and Spike were ever an 'item'. However, she'd never admit it to anyone but she always had a little crush on him.

"I-I-I am so s-sorry." Buffy stammered out feeling her cheeks becoming red.

Spike was too shocked to say anything. He never expected her to walk in in a million years.

"I-I know I should have knocked. I'm sorry for uh...disrupting you."

"Don't worry bout it. You're Buffy right?" Amy asked standing up and straightening her clothes.

"Yes."

"I'm Amy. Amy Madison, we'll be working together."

"Oh, well um... I really am sorry. I should go." With that Buffy left Spike's trailer. She was practically running to get away that she bumped into someone and fell to the floor.

&&&&&&&&&&&&& meanwhile...

After Buffy left, Amy turned to Spike and asked: "Hey, is she like your girlfriend or something?"

"No why do you ask?"

"I was just wondering. Anyway, I should go. I have to be in make-up in five minutes. We can rehearse another time."

"Huh? Uh yeah sure. Whatever." Spike had zoned out again. Amy smiled a knowing smile. She knew that even if he didn't admit it, Spike did feel something for Buffy.

It's time for damage control. Amy thought to herself as she headed out. After all, how can there be hope for him and Buffy if she thought Spike was with her.(Amy)

Spike on the other hand just sat in his trailer. Thinking.

You stupid pillock! Couldn't you have said you were rehearsing for a scene? No no it must be too hard for you to say it. Idiot! Spike thought as he mentally slapped himself.

He knew he liked Buffy. He liked her a lot. But now he had messed things up. He should run after her and explain after all it wasn't real. The only thing stopping him was fear. Fear that if he did explain, then what would that say to her. What would it mean? After all, he knew how he felt but what if she didn't feel the same way. He didn't think his heart could take the rejection.

So he just sat there. Thinking.

&&&&&&&&&&&

meanwhile...

After make-up Amy went looking around trying to spot Buffy and try to explain to her what happened especially since it was just a big misunderstanding. Plus she wanted them to be friends.

When she did find Buffy, she was talking to a guy she was all too familiar with.

"Parker?" Amy asked

"Hey lil' sis!" Parker said as he saw his sister. He went up to her and gave her a big hug.

"What are you doing here?" Amy asked.

"I work here. I'm one of the cameramen." Parker said

"Really? How come you didn't tell me? When did you get in from New York?"

"The other day. I wanted to surprise you."

"Well you did."

"Cool. Anyway, did you meet Buffy over here?" Parker asked as Buffy moved closer to them.

"Yes we have met. How did you meet?" Amy answered and asked.

"Well, let's just say we bumped into each other, literally. Anyway, sis I gotta work. But first, Buffy shall we go?" he asked offering his arm out for her o take.

"Um, yeah sure." Buffy linked her arm around his.

"Where are you going?" Amy asked

"I'm just going to show Buffy how a camera works sis. Geez, take a chill pill."

Buffy and Parker walked away.

Amy felt a bit worried. With her brother here that complicated things. She knew her brother was a playboy and just used girls. But she couldn't just right out and say that to Buffy.
