A few minutes earlier Dawn had broke away from her parents and walked towards the fence where he stood, leaning on the wooden rails as she came to rest next to him.
"Hey." Dawn looked in the direction his eyes were fixed on.
"Hey." Angel sighed at her.
"Didn't think I'd see you here. Watching my sister and Spike again? It's starting to become a habit." Dawn smiled at the sight of Buffy and Spike walking hand in hand along the beach.
"Just opening my eyes a little." Angel kept them firmly fixed on the couple.
"Angel, I know what you're thinking and he wouldn't hurt her." Dawn watched as Buffy ran off up the beach and then back to Spike again.
"You don't know that Dawn." Angel watched Spike saying something to Buffy and her pulling a face at him.
"Spikes in love with her and besides she wouldn't let him." Dawn smiled as Buffy finished drawing on the beach with a stick.
"She's lost to me isn't she?" He felt sick as Spike grabbed Buffy by the waist and span around on the beach.
"Face it Angel, your relationship was doomed. She can't be with someone that she can't have all of, it would kill her." Dawn watched them with a broad smile on her face.
"Have they?" Angel sighed and turned his back to them to face Dawn, she could see the pain written clearly across his features.
"No, just kissing. Buffy would tell me." Dawn watched Angels face closely.
"Her friends won't like it."
"But her family do, besides they'll come around, I hear they didn't like you either." Dawn saw her parents walking towards them.
"You're very insightful for a teenager Dawn." Angel leant his head back and looked up at the stars.
"I'm thousands of years old Angel." Dawn smiled as he turned to face her with a confused look. "I was mystical energy called the Key, these monks made me human and sent me to Buffy for protection. Everything in your head about me, lies. But I am her sister, you know, and she feels that too. Sisters know each other, I know she loves him even if she doesn't see it yet." Dawn touched his hand and smiled.
"Contact me if she needs anything." Angel handed her a card and then disappeared into the crowd.
"Who was that Dawn?" Hank leant against the rails where Angel had been.
"Buffys ex. Just stopped by to say hey." Dawn turned her attention back to her sister and Spike.
"They certainly are in love." Jane smiled.
"Slayer." Spike breathed as he held her in his arms, her feet dangling a foot off the ground.
"Vampire." Buffy wrapped her arms about his neck and smiled a true Buffy smile.
Spike crushed his mouth against hers hard and she responded immediately, wrapping her legs about him she pulled his head tight to hers and kissed him deeply.
The whole world dropped away as Spikes tongue sought Buffys, she tackled it and let the kisses turn gentle. A feeling in her stomach rose up and she felt warm inside. Spike softly moved his lips against hers, brushing them delicately and quickly as he pulled her closer to him.
"Spike." Buffy caught his eye and he could see that she wanted to say something but looked scared.
"Shh… No need pet." Spike smiled and then silenced her by pressing his mouth back against hers, he saw it in her eyes and that was enough for now, even if she didn't know it was love.
Buffy liked the feeling of his mouth on hers, it was comforting and made her lips tingle in a good way. She was melting inside and felt sure she would slip from his arms into a pool on the floor. Spike held her tighter as though he knew what she was thinking and let his tongue slip into her mouth softly tangling with hers as it went.
She shifted her weight in his arms and Spike fell backwards into the sand, Buffy looked at the ground and saw they had fallen into the middle of the heart. Giggling she leant forward and pressed her mouth back against his, feeling his hands run up her thighs Buffy felt suddenly flushed.
Sitting back she smiled down at him and let her fingers slip into his. Spike grinned at her and wriggled his hips mischievously, at which point Buffy looked up at the promenade and saw Dawn standing there with their parents.
"Not again." Buffy groaned and slumped forward onto Spikes chest.
"What?" Spike sat her up with him and then splayed his hands out behind him for support.
"Summers voyeurism." Buffy giggled and Spike turned his head to see Dawn waving at him with a big grin on her face.
"Maybe we should head back to somewhere a little more private." Spike arched a brow and Buffy slapped his arm as she stood up.
"Come on Spikey, let's face the music." Buffy pulled him up off the sand and stole one more kiss from him before he picked up their stuff.
Slipping her hand back into his she smiled up at him. "Never did thank you that time for forming a truce with me that lead to me sending Angel to hell and running away and you having a whale of a time in Brazil."
"No need to, I'm already thankful inside." Spike kissed her softly on the lips again.
"Me too." Buffy slipped her arm around his waist and let his hand come to rest on her shoulder. "I never should have let you go after you kidnapped Willow for a love spell."
"Why not love?" Spike cast a glance down at her with a look of intrigue on his face.
"Because you would have made one hell of a rebound guy after Angel, but then I think I like it better this way." Buffy smiled up at him. "I like boyfriend you rather than rebound guy you, you don't suit the role of the rebound."
"Think I'm more of a steadily growing love interest personally."
