AUTHOR'S NOTES: Hi just thought I'd let everyone know that most of this
chapter will be flashbacks to explain the relationship Buffy and Spike had
and then how Buffy and Angel got together. I think that it'll take more
than one chapter but I'll clearly label the flashbacks so it doesn't get
confusing. Enjoy.
CHAPTER FOUR - 'The Saga.'
~~~ FLASHBACK ~~~
"So I hear that a certain blonde has really fallen for you." Cordy said as she finished off painting Buffy's nails carefully watching for her friend's reaction.
Buffy's head shot up, "Really. I mean what he's only known me like three days. But what did he say?"
Cordy smiled she knew Buffy too well, " Angel said that he wanted to ask you out on a date."
Buffy screamed a girly scream that could only come from a cheerleader, "I totally knew he liked me. So when's he gonna ask me?"
She couldn't contain her excitement about the prospect of Spike asking her out, she had liked him straight away. With those sorts of looks what girl wouldn't fall head over heels straight away but it wasn't just that he was funny and had a rebellious edge to him as well.
"I dunno he'll probably call you or something." Cordy said whilst drawing love hearts on her English file that said 'Cordy and Angel 4eva'.
Buffy scrunched her brow for a second, "How did he get my number?"
"Duh I gave it to him, I so knew you were into him even though you never said anything. And why didn't you say anything, I'm meant to be you best friend?" Cordy asked.
Before Buffy could answer the phone in the landing started to ring and she jumped up to answer it, "Hello."
"Hello may I speak to Buffy please?" The soft English voice on the other end asked, it kinda sounded like Spike but it was too soft for him.
"It's me." Buffy answered wondering what other English person could possibly want with her.
"Hi pet it's Spike." He said reverting to his usual accent.
"Oh I wondered who it was then you sounded really different." Buffy commented.
"Well I thought it might be your mother and I had to make a good impression with her if a I want to take her daughter on a date." He said casually dropping the invite in.
A huge smile formed on Buffy's face she tried to remain calm not wanting to sound like an over hyped idiot just because he'd ask her out.
'Be cool, be breezy' Buffy thought as she opened her mouth to reply, "Well don't ya think you should be making a good impression with the daughter?"
She heard Spike chuckle at the other end that was a good sign she'd made him laugh with her wit and sarcasm.
"I'm hoping I already have." He stated lowering his tone again so it sounded husky.
~***~
Buffy returned to her bedroom floating on cloud nine and Cordy knew straight away who the mystery phone caller had been. Cordy was so pleased with herself for persuading Spike to call at a time she knew she'd be there so she could be the first to hear all the details.
"So then Miss Summers who was that?" Cordy asked in a teasing tone.
"It was Spike." Buffy cooed.
"And?"
"Tomorrow night he's taking me out for dinner!" Buffy squealed as she grabbed on to her best friend.
"This is so good I mean your going to be seeing one of Angel's friends this is gonna work out so well for everyone!" Cordy squeaked joining in the excitement.
"From what I've seen so far I'm not sure I'd describe Angel and Spike as friends." Buffy said commenting on the hostile atmosphere between the two men every time they'd been together.
"True, Angel doesn't really like Spike, but there still hang together because Lindsay is good friends with both of them. It's just a personality clash." Cordy said not wanting to repeat what angel had actually said about Spike.

The next evening Buffy was sat on the friendship swing outside of her house waiting for Spike, she wanted to keep things casual so she decided against the formal mom introduction for their first date.
She tilted her head down so that she could give her self the once over she'd decided on tight blue hip jeans and a red sleeveless top. 'You look killer' she said to herself as she saw Spike approaching.
"Hi." She greeted him with a bright smile.
"Hi love." He said glancing over her perfect figure.
"Shall we go?" She asked hoping to get him out of the way before her mom or younger sister Dawn heard the male voice and came out to be have a look.
"Yeah course you'll have to excuse me if I get this date stuff a bit messed up we don't really do it so much in England." He explained as they headed down the path.
"So what do you do?" Buffy enquired thinking it quite strange that couples didn't really date.
"Well if you like someone you hang with them and there friends for a bit and then just ask them if they want to be your girlfriend."
"Oh, cool."
~***~
Buffy was having such an amazing time with Spike she found talking to him really easy and he was so interesting. Not to mention gorgeous. But all good things had to come to an end and now was there time to end the evening.
"Thanks for walking me home Spike." Buffy said as her heart was pounding all she wanted to do was kiss him but she couldn't that was to forward.
Normally guys would try and kiss her at the end of a date but Spike had already told her that he was very unaccustomed to American dating rituals.
Spike looked at the beauty in front of him he didn't want to do all the dating crap he just wanted her to be his right now but he had learnt that it didn't happen like that in America.
"Look Buffy I really like you but I don't like this dating stuff. So what you say about us just getting together like boyfriend and girlfriend right now?" He asked praying that she'd say yes.
Buffy nibbled on her bottom lip and thought for a second, "Yeah that sounds good, but you still have to take me places."
"Course." Were his last words before grabbing her around her waist and pulling him to her for a deep kiss.
TBC.
