Kiss and Tell

There was a knock on Spike's door. He moaned and ignored it, hoping who ever it was would go away. But they didn't, there was another knock.

"Fuck off!" he yelled sleepily. The door swung open and a fully dressed Buffy marched in.

"Wake up!" she commanded. "We need to go soon."

"But it's still dark," Spike protested.

"I know it's still dark you idiot," Buffy replied angrily. "We're going to watch the sunrise."

Spike moaned again, rolled onto his back and went back to sleep. Buffy jumped on the bad. She was going to have to use her last resort. She placed a soft kiss on his forehead.

Spike's eye flew open. Buffy wasn't sure if it was a look of shock on his face or terror. Or both.

"I'm sorry," she whispered before running from the room.

Buffy didn't even make it to her bed; she collapsed on her bedroom floor, sobbing.

A few minutes later a fully dressed Spike peeked his head round the door; surprised to see the petit blonde crying her eyes out. He sat down next to where she was lying.

"What's the matter, Pet?" He asked.

"Nothing." She replied, not even looking up at him.

"I don't think this is about nothing," he wasn't convinced.

Buffy looked up him slowly, her eyes were red from where she was crying. She took a deep breath breathe and finally said, "I think I'm in love with you and always have been and I hate myself because of it." She looked back at the floor, so not to see the expression on his face.

Spike's jaw dropped. She was in love with him! Buffy! Buffy the total bitch was in love with him! He didn't know what to say. He knew he didn't love her but he liked her.

"I can't say that I feel the same way," Spike started but Buffy cut him off.

"I get it, you still hate me." She looked right into his eyes. He felt some part of his insides melt when her eyes looked into his.

"I didn't say that," he corrected her. "I can't say I feel the same way about you, yet. I really loved spending the day with you yesterday and would love to go to the beach with you today." Buffy nodded, blushing slightly at the way she had behaved. "Why do you hate yourself for loving me?" Spike asked, suddenly realising what she had just said.

Buffy sniffed. "Because we're meant to hate each other. I'm meant to hate you like I used to. But know I have all these feelings and there all wrong- " Buffy was cut off by Spike's lips. He kissed her in exactly the way she had kissed him earlier.

"Feeling's aren't always wrong, there just unexpected." He stood up and turned towards the door. "Are we going to the beach or what?" He held out his hand. She put her hand his and he pulled her so she was standing.

Buffy grinned from ear to ear as they walked towards her car, still holding hands.
