*That night*

As Spike lied on that familiar yellow couch he couldn't help but let

his mind wonder back to that morning. The day's events replayed themselves

over and over into his mind, eating away at him. His mind yelling at him,

telling him that he should have grabbed the moment- seized the day! He

tried to shake it away but it wouldn't let him.

He closed his eyes but all he pictured was those damn emerald eyes.

Her curves gently fitting each turn of her body. That black tinted hair

that felt like heaven to touch. He sighed and opened his eyes only to see

Faye standing before him. "What's wrong Faye?"

"Nothing... can't sleep" He smiled and she invited herself to sit

beside him on the couch. Noticing what she was doing, Spike slid closer to

the side of the couch to allow her room to sit. "Why can't you sleep?"

She smiled noticing that he had made room for her and lied down beside him

so that she could look into his eyes again.

"Every time I close my eyes I keep seeing shades of deep red." He

smiled knowing she was talking about his eyes.

"Why are we doing this Faye?" Spike stared at her. His voice was low.

"What you mean" She responded, pushing some of his hair away from his

eyes with her fingers.

"We haven't argued in 7 days Faye... and everything is so calm." She

laughed a little and moved her hand away from his face.

"I've been in bed for 6 of those days." He laughed and slid a little

closer towards her body. Wrapping his arms around her waist she allowed

her body to relax and let herself enjoy the warmth of his body. Looking at

her he noticed that her eyes were starting to flutter closed.

"Faye.do you want me to carry you back to bed?" Closing her eyes

fully, she placed her hand on his cheek and left it there.

"I don't want to move." She uttered.

"Yeah... me neither." Looking down at the girl in his grasp, Spike's

eyes closed themselves with that final thought that had been stored down so

far into his head, "I think I'm really in love this one."

*I can't be losing sleep over this, no I can't and I cannot stop pacing

Give me a few hours and I'll have this all sorted out

If my mind would just stop racing

This cannot be happening

This is over my head but underneath my feet

Because by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat

And everything will be back to the way it was

I wish it was just that easy

I am waiting for tonight

Then waiting for tomorrow

And I am somewhere in between

What is real and what's just a dream

Would you catch me if I fall out what I fell in

Don't be surprised it I collapse down at your feet again

I don't want to run away from this

I know I just don't need this*
