Chapter Two: "Confessions"

Buffy was sitting on the couch sobbing and Spike was holding her while she poured her heart to him.

"Spike ever since you were little we've had a special bond. You're my best friend. But lately over the past 2 years something else has been there. I've looked at you in a different light. William." The fact that she called him by first name caught his attention.

"I love you. I love you. I love you!" Spike remained holding her. He felt the same way but he didn't know what to say.

"Buffy-Love, I-"

"Spike I'm not expecting you to say you love me to-"

"Buffy I love you." She almost fainted when she heard those words come from his mouth.

"But when- why- Spike?"

"It's me Buffy. I love you I always have, I just thought you didn't love me the way I love you but now you do." He stopped talking and put on his cocky grin.

"I'm sorry I just had to tell you it was eating me alive. Oh, Spike I love you so much." He touched her face and she nuzzled against it.

"Kiss me Spike.please." She sobbed. She felt his soft lips on hers and she felt limp. He looked at her with those blue orbs and she lost herself.

"Buffy-Love?"

"Yeah, I'm on this planet.I think.I'm going up to my room.you can by in 10 if you want." He smiled and pulled her back down on the couch and kissed her hungrily.

"Oh how I've missed you!" He replied. He finally let her go and she silently went upstairs.

She closed the door to her small bedroom and got into her lace panties and bra and some cute duck pajamas that make her look like she's twelve. She put her hair in pigtails to pull it all together. She now looks like she's 12. She giggled as she felt cool hand on her neck.

"Mmm.I love backrubs." She smiled. She turned around and went into the bed.

"Come here." She pointed to the bed and Spike came to her and lay beside her.

"Can we cuddle tonight baby?"

"Baby? I don't fancy that pet, call me Spike or something besides wanker poof or baby. But yes love, we can cuddle."

"Ok sweetie." She smiled and he took of his shirt. She touched his abs and laughed.

"I've never seen your abs Spike. They are beautiful." She put her head on his chest and sighed. They fell asleep like that and dreamed of each other's love.
