Hey guys sorry I been so long well I bet you all hate me by now for the last chapter so I'm going to try and make it up to you in this chapter. Please don't forget to r+r all comments welcome ya know. Anyway on with the chapter ~SPUFFY FOREVER! ~

Ok in the last chapter:

"Angel... Gary and I lost our child only hours ago, he was five months old, god this is killing me" she whispered and brought her hand to her mouth to hide away her sobs. Standing up from the sofa, angel walked across to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. She continued to sob until he finally turned her around and began to kiss her on the lips passionately.

Making love into the night was what they were going to do...what angel didn't realise was...what about his flight?

Chapter 7: I remember

Angel stirred and his back ached from lying on the floor for so long. Turning to his side he noticed the sleeping figure in his arms and he laid his head back on the floor quite harshly, cursing him self for what he had allowed to happen. He was a married man and knew his wife would kill him if she happened to walk back in on them now. He also knew buffy was venerable after losing her child and would almost certainly wake up hating him for taking advantage of her. Pulling his arm out from under her he walked across the room picking up his clothes and leaving hers beside her. Getting dressed he knelt down to her and touched her arm gently, she began to stir and looked up at him curiously

"Angel w-what's going on?" she asked still a little dazed

"I-I think things got a little out of control last night, I'm sorry I took advantage of you, you were so venerable, I should have stopped it" he cooed turning away to look at something else as she sat up, her naked body now completely revealed to him. Looking around she realised where she was and what had happened, picking up her bra and shirt she put them on and stood up with a little help from Angel. Putting on her thong and her jeans she slipped her shoes on with ease. None of them spoke a word for a good 20 minuets and something suddenly occurred to angel

"Do you love him?" he asked her whilst she was doing her hair in the mirror over the fireplace. Stopping abruptly she let her hair fall around her shoulders and she turned to face him

"Excuse me?" she asked quizzically

"Do you love spike?" he asked again this time never taking his eyes away from hers. Looking down and then back up, she looked him in the eyes

"with everything that I am" was her reply. He felt a part of him ache as he wished that it wasn't true, but he knew there was some chemistry between them and nothing he could do would ever change that. Walking across to a table which sat neatly in a corner, with only one draw and a phone neatly placed a top of it; he opened the draw and pulled out a small book which had dolphins on the front of it. Opening it up he flicked through the various pages back and fourth all the while she stood there staring in wonder. Finally deciding on a page he tore out the page and placed the book back in to the draw, walking across to her he handed her the piece of paper which simply had spike written on one side

"What's this?" she asked looking at him confused, taking the piece of paper out of her hand he turned it over and gave it her back, it now revealed what appeared to be an address scribbled down, looking up at him she furrowed her eye brows and he looked around trying to fight back the tears he felt coming

"I-its spike's address his current one, I keep in touch with him sometimes. Buffy after he left prison he came searching for you and whilst he was here he jotted down his address in the hope that if one day you came to me I would give it to you, so...here it is...he's married now though buffy...I think you're too late. But if you love him like you say you do, why didn't you stay and wait for him?"

Looking down at the piece of paper she felt a lump appear in her throat and she shoved the piece of paper in to her pocket, continuing to do her hair. Angel turned away and walked in to the kitchen, after a few moments buffy slowly walked in and stood in the door way watching him as he sipped his coffee and stared endlessly out of the window.

"Angel...I think you missed you flight; bet your wife's gonna be peed off huh?" she asked quietly, not moving from her current position. He turned slowly to her and gestured with his cup, offering to make her a cup but she waved her hand as signal for no thanks.

"I won't tell her angel if that's what you're thinking, I wouldn't ruin your life like that. Maybe last night should never have happened, but I want you to know I really care about you and I'll never forget you. You're a part of me...always" she whispered but he didn't look her way

"W-Well I'll be going now so no worries? Yeah?" she spoke once again to thin air as he took another sip out of the endless coffee mug. Taking a few steps back wards she began to walk across to the front door (imagine now Paul young "Every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you" playing in the back ground) picking up her back pack she hung it over her shoulder and picked up the strap of her one suitcase in one hand, reaching for the door handle she slowly turned it and opened the door taking one last look into the house she stepped out of the front door and out of his life...forever.

Three months later...

"Buffy!!" shouted Damon her new boss. She'd moved to Greenville like she said she was going to and had decided to settle down in a nice flat off of a big estate. It wasn't much but the view was great and you weren't that far from the sea so it was fun to be that close.

"BUFFY!!" Damon shouted again this time loosing his temper and almost knocking one of stuffed toys off the shelf, waking up from her day dream quickly; buffy turned to an empty box and pretended to rummage around inside of it, when damon turned the corner.

"There you are! Didn't you here the call over the intercom?" he asked quizzically

"sorry sir, I was so busy in helping a small child find his mother again that I got completely worked up in the situation, you must have called me whilst I was outside saving the young boy from being knocked down by a car....twice!" she lied and he couldn't even tell.

"Well make sure it doesn't happen again! They need you on till 4! Move it!" he snapped and walked off. Sighing she stuffed some empty packaging into a box and walked around with the empty trolley into the goods inwards area to dump the rubbish in the bin before she got another telling off.

The day's events were full of the complete and same utter bull as every day, the same old person came into the computer hardware store to buy the same old thing, so this already massive firm could make yet more money; that they would only squander for their own benefits. Spike stood next to his manager on the shop floor looking around at all the customers, when his boss slapped his hand on his shoulder and turned to face him.

"Spike ma boy, this is THE life! Cant you just smell that fresh new customer air!" he laughed and walked away from spike. Spike simply smiled and walked in the opposite direction before he was stopped by a passing customer with a thousand questions. This day was definitely not his favourite day.

Claire took the number two buss this time instead of the number four, she was planning on doing a little light shopping before she went home for the day, they were out of quite a few things her and spike, so she really did need to shop. Stepping off the bus she walked into the store and paid a pound for a trolley, which she would get back at the end. Walking around for an hour certainly was tiring after standing on her feet all day she was absolutely knackered and now to top it all off she was stood in the queue at till n.o:4 and the girl was going slower than death itself. Finally her turn came and she handed the girl a club card which earned her bonus points at the end of each year.

"welcome to shop o' mart, we hope you enjoyed you're visit to us today" buffy repeated the same old line whilst checking the lady's things through the scanner.

"could you hurry up please!" the woman asked noticing the younger girl was taking her time examining each of her products. Looking up buffy looked the woman in the eyes

"sorry your highness!" she spoke sarcastically. Claire looked at the girl and she remembered seeing her somewhere before but couldn't quite make it out where from. Shaking her head she ignored the girls comment and paid for the goods, leaving the store in a huff; buffy just sighed and turned to the next customer.

Arriving home an hour later Claire un packed the goods and placed them in to the fridge and cupboards. Making her self a cup of tea she walked across to the sofa and sat down kicking off her shoes. She couldn't seem to get that young girls face out of her mind, where had she seen her? Then it struck her. She practically ran upstairs and pulled open the loft door, to let the stairs fall down. Climbing up she picked up a flash light at the top of the steps and climbed in to the loft. Walking across to the box in the corner she blew the dust off the top to reveal a name it read: "spike's stuff". Flipping open the lid she dug deeper through the box and pulled out a picture frame at the bottom of it, looking at it she sat back in shock and covered her mouth with her hand...it was her; the girl at the shop was the girl in the photo with spike it was buffy!

"Buffy she's....she's back!" Claire stuttered and threw the picture back in to the box

Coming down from the loft she was met by two hands around her waist, so startled she jumped back wards into his arms. Spike caught her with ease and she quickly turned to face him

"what were you doin' up there luv?" he asked looking at her shocked face.

"I ...I was looking for...t-the cat" she spoke shaky and fumbled her words. He could tell she was lying and he wasn't falling for it.

"What were you really do..." he tried to say but she cut him off. She knew there was this connection between buffy and him self and there was no choice in trying to hide it, she would do a test with him to save a lot of heart ache and shouting.

"S-Spike I need you to go down to the shop o' mart and speak to the girl behind till n.o:4 right away, she called me all sorts of names and I'm terribly upset! Go now please" she beckoned and ushered him down the stairs to the front door. He looked at her curiously but went along with it, he knew her too well she probably had a big surprise party planned and didn't want him there. Nodding he set off for the shop in order to speak to the girl who had made his wife's life a misery, he would give her a piece of his mind that's for sure...

"Buffy can you stay on till n.o:4 for a couple more hours why I nip to see my son?" Sharon asked

"Sure Sharon see you in a bit!"
