Title: The Bet
Summary: Buffy is the outcast at Sunnydale High. She's like by no one, except for her best friend Willow. Once upon a time Buffy used to be friends with the most popular guy in school, Spike Giles. But that was before he got his spotlight. Since then the two have barely spoken, and cant stand the sight of one another. Until Spike makes a bet with his friends that he can get Buffy to fall for him. What he doesn't plan, is that old feelings are brought back and he starts to fall for his childhood friend. The future of the existence of the two's relationship all relies on if Spike can keep the bet a secret. Will things turn out the way he wants? Or will he lose everything that makes him truly feel happy again?

.:a/n:. I was planning on having her forgive him in that chapter, but I was busy and that, so I decided to end it there and put up what I had. Sorry. Lolly6, yeah, I remember that but even though she said it, she kind of pushed the thought away when she started to fall in love with him . . . I don't know, I probably screwed up, lol.

Buffy sat on her bed, her face damp from tears. 'Why am I crying over a stupid bet? Is a bet really worth risking what we seem to have? He gave up his popularity, and "friends" for us, isn't that proof enough that its real?' Buffy sighed. 'If it wasn't for the bet in the first place, I wouldn't have realized how I really felt about Spike. Should I trust my heart, and believe his words? It must have taken a lot of courage for him to tell me himself. It's better than me hearing from another person. God, I love him so much. And I know he feels the same. I can't lose this. I cant.'

Spike heard the doorbell rang and jumped up from his comfortable spot on his bed. Quickly, he came down the stairs and opened the door to find Buffy standing in front of him. He was surprised. He didn't expect her to want to see him for a long time.
He just looked at her, and didn't say a word. She looked to the ground, then back up at him, knocking him out of his trance.
"Buffy, come in," he said, moving to the side. "What are you doing here? It's only been . . ."
"A few hours, I know. Soon, but I've been thinking. Its not like it didn't hurt to find out that I was all a bet. But I figure, if you hadn't had made the bet, we wouldn't have realized our feelings and I'd still be looking for that one, when he's right there and I don't even know it. I can't lose you Spike. Not after all of this. I love you," Buffy said.
"I love you too pet," Spike said, hugging her. "Are you staying?"
"I-I don't know."
"My mum wont be home till late, and my da' went off for awhile, so you don't have to worry about them."
"I wasn't going to," she said. "I'd like to stay, thanks. We could continue what we were doing earlier."
"Kissing?"
"I was thinking more along the lines of cuddling," Buffy said, taking her jacket off.
"Cuddling is good," he said. "Would you like anything to eat or drink?"
"Could I have some water? Kind of thirsty."
"Course. You can go to the living room. I'll be right there."
"Thanks," Buffy said, watching as he walked away. She turned to her right and walked into the nicely decorated room. The walls were all a light pink and the furniture was around the same colour tone. 'His mom's work,' she thought. 'Always pink.'
"There you go," Spike said, entering the room and handing her a glass of water.
"Thank you."
He sat down on the sofa, and she sat down next to him. She rested her head on his chest and he wrapped his arm around her waist. He grabbed the remote control and turned on the television.
"Are you comfortable?" he asked.
"Very. And you?"
"As long as you're in my arms, yeah, I'd say I am."
