Hey guys yet again I'm here to bring you another thrilling instalment of pure fluffiness, hope you all enjoy these chapters I'm working really hard to get them out ASAP for you so the least you could do is give me some reviews please I beg you....well anyways on with the story.

Ok in the last chapter:

"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!"

Chapter 8: I never knew

Buffy checked a few more items through the till and announced the price quite loudly to the little old lady that fumbled trying to get everything in to a bag and get her purse out at the same time. Staring at her she felt kind of sorry for her, she was old and probably lonely; she wouldn't wish that kind of torture on anyone. Helping the lady put a few things into her bag; the woman looked up and smiled her sign of gratitude before pulling out her purse and paying for the goods.

"Take care young one" she whispered close to her over the counter before hobbling away with her not too heavy goods. She was the last one in the queue and buffy sat down in to her chair looking through one of the shop's many magazines.

Spike stepped out of his car upon arriving at the shop o' mart and locked it. Walking slowly towards the front doors he began to wonder what it was that Claire had in mind. Why did she want him out of the house? It seemed odd and it was definitely not like Claire to keep secrets from him. They agreed to that when they got married he thought strolling through the main doors and stopping to look around for where till n.o:4 was.

Just as he caught site of till n.o:4 he was in avertedly stopped by the one and only Damon, the manager.

"Can I help you sir? You seem to be at a loss for where to start!" He looked spike in the eye and spike backed off a bit to get out of breathing distance with the man who had the most terrible breath in the world.

"Yes you can actually!" spike spoke up quite loudly and tried to make as much of a fuss as possible, he had to take this kind of crap all day finally it was more of get your own back kind of time.

"And how may that be sir?" Damon questioned

"The girl at till n.o:4 apparently said rather some nasty things to my wife and she came home more than a little upset!" he said sarcastically crossing his arms in protest. Damon eyed till n.o:4 and noticed buffy leaning down casually reading a book, looking like she didn't have a care in the world. He had told buffy off many times before because customers came in complaining about her, the only reason he didn't fire her was because of her sheer good looks she seemed to attract a lot more customers than usual. Sighing in defeat he turned to spike

"I do apologise for her sir, you see she is knew here and well you know sometimes things can get a little stressed when your knew an..." he tried to finish but was cut off by spike walking straight past him and towards till n.o:4. Chasing after him Damon stood almost directly behind spike as he stopped at the counter. Buffy kept her head low deeply engrossed in the charming delights of $4 off a case of red wine when she noticed something stop dead in front of her.

"NOW LISTEN YO..." spike started but couldn't finish as the girl looked up from her book in the same surprise as him. Spike's mouth fell open and the words were lost, he couldn't breath and didn't know what his legs were attempting to do. She stared at the man that stood before her and she also had a hard time breathing. None of them spoke a word for a good five minuets (Imagine now the song by Berlin "take my breath away" playing in the back ground). Buffy felt the tears forming in her eyes and she couldn't bare to relive what she had tried so hard to forget. Standing up suddenly she rose as she dashed out from behind the till and in the opposite direction of spike. He swung around to see her figure fading in the distance of the store and he couldn't understand why but his legs ran and ran towards her, after her...it had been so long...why was she here? How long had she been here? Was she okay? The thousands of questions now raced through his mind as he chased after her down through the store.

She could feel the lump in her throat burst and the tears flowed down her face like a waterfall, she was sobbing so hard that she couldn't breath and slowed dropping to the floor on to her knees, her hands covering her tears as if trying to keep the pain away. Spike slowed and noticed her current position on the floor, he walked to her and knelt down in front of her, touching her hands, her body for the first time 15 years; it felt so good, so smooth against his skin. He pulled her hands away from her face and she stared at the floor in front of him sobbing loudly, tears falling from her eyes like diamonds; they shone so bright and made her face look even more dazzling.

"B-Buffy..." he whispered the tears now falling from his eyes too,

"L-Look at me luv..." he whispered and held her hands in his own tightly

"I-I-I cant" she whispered and sobbed harder

"W-Why?" he stuttered fighting back the tears with no avail. She didn't reply just sat there and sobbed unable to break into a sentence.

"W-Why the hell did you l-leave" he cried releasing one hand and lifting her chin up to meet his eyes with hers. She looked at him like a lost puppy and she noticed the now so evident tears rolling down his cheeks...she'd never seen him cry before. Placing a hand on his leg she tried to calm her self down a touch and breathed hard

"I-I didn't think I could cope n-not w-with out y-you" she sobbed leaning slightly in towards him, he noticed this immediately and pulled her in close kissing her tears a thousand times over. Buffy held a warm smile now and replied to his kisses by placing her lips against his. They both shared a passionate kiss and spike continued to hold her in his arms for a good five minuets, rocking her back and fourth...knowing she was worth every single penny he had spent looking for her, knowing that she was finally safe in his arms made him feel like his soul had come back to life.

After a good ten minuets, each calmed down and stood up, noticing they had quite a crowd around them. Turning away spike took her hand and she led him in to the back where the goods where kept in the large massive room so they could be alone. Walking up to a tiny box she jumped up it and sat upon it, spike stood in between her legs with his arms around her waist. She smiled at him and he smiled back, lightly caressing the sides of her body with his thumbs. Wrapping her arms around his neck she pulled him in for a kiss and their lips met once again in their tight embrace. He pulled away first both gasping for air he looked up into her beautiful eyes and she laid her head down against his right shoulder.

"I'm sorry" she whispered and wrapped her arms around his waist, bringing him even closer to her "I can understand if you'll never forgive me for not waiting for you, spike I was so messed up...I didn't understand anything and when they took you away from me I knew I would either end up killing myself or leaving...my options were short I figured you'd rather have me alive than dead so....so I left..." she whispered in to his ear whilst kissing it lightly, he pulled back and brought his hands up to her face, gently lifting it in the direction of his. she stared him in the eyes and he let a few tears slip

"I'm so glad you didn't kill your self because you know what?" he asked

"what's that?" she smiled lightly in return

"It would have killed me too" he pressed his lips against hers. She pulled away tears now running down her cheeks too

"I love you" she whispered and clung close to his body. He held her tight and was about to reply when a sudden thought crossed his mind...what about Claire? He pulled away and turned around walking slightly away from her but still in arms length.

"B-Buffy I'm married" he stuttered turning to face her

"I-I know spike" she spoke back as the solemn face appeared once again.

"But how?" he asked curiously

"Angel..." was her only reply and his faced nodded in agreement. Shoving his hands in his tight jeans pockets he walked back over to her and she wrapped her legs around his. smiling she ran her fingers through his still golden strands of hair. It was in perfect condition; just like him. He looked perfect and felt even better than that. His eyes were still the same deep azure blue and his skin was tender and gentle.

"I've missed you so much spike, so much has happened since we last saw each other...I don't know where to start" she spoke feeling her hands into his pockets, he pulled them out and wrapped his arms around her

"then don't" spike said taking his hands and rubbing them down her back "we have plenty of time to do that in, lets not spoil the moment huh pet?" she nodded and held him close.

"Do you still love me spike?" she asked suddenly out of the blue. He didn't no how to answer and he didn't know what to say, he loved her deeply more than he ever could but it wasn't right for him to answer her that question when he was still married, so he didn't reply.

"Spike?" she asked again, and this time he knew if he didn't answer he would loose buffy forever

"I love you so much it hurts" he said taking his lips to hers once again in a fiery kiss, both of them feeling the urge each other had. Spike started to kiss down buffy's neck and all thought of Claire passed out of his mind as she responded by starting to take off his jacket.

In the background there stood a lonely girl with a name tag on that simply read "Claire" she ripped it off and threw it at the ground in a temper before running off.
