That night Riley went home, he paced his dorm for a little the kicked over
and a table
"How could she want him over me, he's done something to her, that's it, it must be some kind of spell, I cant go to Willow cause she will go to Buffy, think Finn think" He said banging the wall with his fist, then he looked down at an advert in the paper it read
Angel investigations
We Help The Helpless
"Angel, Buffy told me he hates Spike, that's it, but I don't want to ask him for help, but it is for Buffy" He said walking to the phone
"Hello Angel investigations we help the helpless" Cordelia cherry voice said
"I need to speak to Angel, its about Buffy"
"This is Angel" Angel said
"Its Riley Finn" Riley said
"What do you want, Buffy come to her senses and dump you"
"She broke up with me but..." Riley started
"So your calling me because you need some comforting" Angel said sarcastically
"No I'm calling about the reason she broke up with me"
"Why she finally get sick of you"
"Spike"
"Spike"
"Yeah Spike, William the bloody, she's with him"
"She cant be... what has he done her" Angel growled
"I don't know, I would have dealt with it myself but I just thought..."
"I'll be right there" Angel said hanging up Riley smiled and put down the phone
*~*~*~*~
The next night Buffy and Spike were patrolling, when they'd finished Buffy and Spike held each other a couple of blocks from the dorm, she didn't want to let go of him
"You know, Willows not there, she's staying at Tara's tonight" Buffy said into his chest
"Yeah you mentioned that" He said
"So you could you know, stay over and..."
"We talked about this, I'm going home pet" Spike said
"Don't you want to stay with me" She said looking up at him
"Not particularly, got a nice vampire bird waiting for me back at the crypt" He joked
Buffy instantly backed away with tears in her eyes
"I'm kidding luv, of course I want to stay with you, but ..."
"See but, you're going to go off and have sex with some vampire slut" She said frantically
"No I'm not, I'll even call you later ok, lets just go our separate ways tonight yeah"
"You promise you'll call me" She said walking to him again and putting her arms around his waist
"Promise, and I'll let you talk to Tina as well" He said laughing
She just slapped his arm and grabbed the back of his head pulling him down for a kiss
"Bye" She said with her eyes still closed
"Speak to you soon" He said before walking off
*~*~*~*
In the car Angel and Riley watched as she kissed him
"See, does this look right to you" Riley said
"Are you sure he has done something to her"
"Well no, but it has to be"
"What just because she dumped you, maybe she just realised you were a moron" Angel said starting the car to follow Spike
"No, something's wrong" Riley said
"Well while find out right" Angel said stopping the car and getting out to walk as Spike entered the cemetery
*~*~*~*
Spike walked to his crypt, and realised all his head was saying was
Buffy-Buffy-Buffy-Buffy-Buffy-Buffy-Buffy-Buffy-Buffy-Buffy
He couldn't get her out of his head
"Stupid slayer, get out of my head" He said
Spike put his hand in his pocket and pulled out Buffy keys, Spike shook his head then carried on figuring she would come pick them up tomorrow
Then all of a sudden he heard something behind him, he turned round to see what it was, no one was there, he shrugged and turned round and was met with a fist in the face
*~*~*~*~
Buffy got to her dorm and realised all her head was saying was
Spike-Spike-Spike-Spike-Spike-Spike-Spike-Spike-Spike-Spike
She still couldn't get him out of her head, she smiled at the thought, but couldn't help but want to share the news with everyone other than her mother and Dawn
She dug in her bag for her keys,
"Oh crap, Spikes got them, I'll go to Willows and..." She stopped and thought "Or I could just go and get them from him, and maybe he would come back with me and... grr get a grip Buffy" She said shaking her head and walking back to the cemetery
*~*~*~*~
"Well well back in town I see" Spike said shaking his head from the punch
"Not for long just got to deal with a certain bleached pest that has done something to Buffy"
"I haven't done anything to Buffy" Spike said
"Oh yeah right" Riley said
"You called him, now that is low, needed mommy Angel to rub your bruised ego, fact your bird wants me and not you" Spike said laughing at Riley
"Shut up" Riley said running to Spike and pinning him against a wall Spike pushed him off but Angel grabbed him and pinned him
"Now you listen to me, you lift what ever spell you have got on Buffy and leave town" Angel growled
"I haven't got a spell on Buffy"
Buffy rounded the corner and heard the commotion and heard Spikes voice and started to jog
"Oh yeah, so what's your game you playing be with her till she trusts you then you kill her" Angel said
"No ..."
Buffy came round the corner and gasped at what she saw, she started to walk towards the scene when she heard Angel scream
"SO WHY ELSE WOULD YOU BE WITH HER" Angel shouted
"BECAUE I LOVE HER" Spike screamed back
Buffy gasped at what Spike had just said
Riley, Angel and Spike all froze when they spotted Buffy
"GET OFF ME YOU BIG APE" Spike screamed pushing Angel away glancing at Buffy then running off
Buffy wanted to go after him but knew she had to deal with this first
"What the hell are you doing here Angel" Buffy said
"I got a call you were in trouble" Angel said
"You called him" She said looked at Riley
"Well yeah, I thought he had done something, like a spell or something" Riley said in his defence
"So just because I dump you, you think Spike has done something to me" She said getting angry
"Well yeah"
Buffy started laughing
"Spike has done nothing wrong, I am with him because I love him and that's the only reason, not because of some spell"
"You love him" Angel asked
"Yes I do"
"But its..."
"Don't say the words 'but its Spike' Angel because I'm fully aware who he is and I know that I love him, I will always love you Angel but you left me, Spike is here for me, and I want to be with him" She said
"Buffy are you..."
"Yes I'm sure"
Angel nodded and walked towards her
"If he ever hurts you, I will hurt him ok"
She nodded and smiled and he walked away
Buffy looked at Riley and shook her head and walked away
"Buffy" He called
"Leave me alone Riley, get it through your thick scull its over, just get over it"
She said walking in the direction Spike went in
*~*~*~*~
Spike sat in the park with his head in his hands
Buffy saw him and walked towards him
"Hey" She said softly
"Leave me alone" He said getting up
"Spike come on"
"No I'm leaving bye Slayer" Spike said walking away
"Why are you leaving and why are you all of a sudden calling me Slayer again" She said walking towards him
"BECAUSE... because it wasn't supposed to happen this way" Spike said turning round to look at her
"What are you talking about"
"I thought maybe if we were together, you would get me out your system, we could move on and I could piss off to somewhere that's not here and get my chip out but I ..." Spike cut him self of looking down
"You've what" Buffy said hopefully
"Nothing just go Slayer" He said trying to walk away but Buffy grabbed him
"STOP CALLING ME THAT AND TELL ME" Buffy yelled
"BUT I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU OK" He yelled back
Buffy smiled slightly but couldn't understand why he was so angry about it
"Why are you so mad about it" Buffy asked
"Because it wasn't supposed to..." Spike started before Buffy cut him off by putting a finger to his mouth as she knew what he was going to say
"Its ok Spike, just say it again, please, I need to hear you say it" She said steeping closer to him
Spike took a deep breath and looked in to her eyes
"I love you" He said
"Oh Spike, I love you so much" She said launching herself into his arms and kissing him
"I know baby, I know" He said in to her mouth
"So can you come home with me now, id really like to show you something" She said seductively reaching behind him and grabbing his ass and pressing herself against him
"Ok, you've talked me in to it" He said smiling and taking her hand and walking to the dorm
"How could she want him over me, he's done something to her, that's it, it must be some kind of spell, I cant go to Willow cause she will go to Buffy, think Finn think" He said banging the wall with his fist, then he looked down at an advert in the paper it read
