Spike sat in a chair, staring blankly off into space as Buffy explained to him just what exactly her and Faith were doing out at night. He had taken it better then she expected, and for the most part, stayed completely silent. She didn't think the realness of what had happened had hit him yet, and she hoped he wouldn't be too freaked out to still like her.
". .And that's it," Buffy finished. "Are you okay?"
"Well, I just found out the girl I like is some kind of-. ."
"Vampire Slayer," she said. "And I understand completely if you wanna-. . You know, cancel the date."
"That thought 'adn't crossed my mind luv," he said. "Just gonna take a little while to totally comprehend-. . But my feelings, they don't-. . Won't, change."
Buffy smiled, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "If you want to go home, you know, think about it, go ahead. I think I'm going to stay at Giles for a minute. Maybe the night."
"Alright luv, just don't go out wandering. Slayer or not, I still don't want you hurt," he said, standing.
"I'll try my best," she said. "But I'm not promising anything."
"Good. Never liked promises much. Tend to be broken," he said, heading for the door. "Night Buffy.
"Bye Spike."
Friday night came, and Buffy was in her room getting ready. She was nervous. Now that Spike knew her secret, the thoughts of him abandoning her were growing in her head. What guy wanted to date a girl who slayed vampires for a living? 'The kind with major mental issues,' Buffy thought, answering her own question. 'Normal guys like cheerleaders who show much clevage and who like to lay, not slay.'
"What are you getting all dressed up for Buffy?" her father asked, walking into her room.
"I have a date," she said cheerfully, holding up a shirt in front of the mirror, then throwing it back on the bed with the huge pile.
"Have I met this mystery man?"
"Um-. .Yeah," she said, then turned to face him. "Dad, can you leave? I only have half an hour."
"Don't be too late," Hank said before disappearing.
Half an hour, and many, many clothes piles later, Buffy was dressed and ready in a black mini-skirt, and a deep red halter top. Her hair was curled, and left down, pooling around her shoulders. Her make-up was kept light and natural, the way she liked it, topping it off with a coat of shiny lip gloss.
Smiling into the mirror, she headed downstairs to wait for Spike. Once in the living room, she sat down on the sofa next to Dawn.
"Buffy," she said. "Wow. You look nice."
"Thank you Dawnie. I'm going out with Spike," Buffy said, smiling uncontrollably.
"Did you kiss him yet?" Dawn asked, scrunching up her nose.
"I don't think that's any of your business," she said, standing up.
She looked to the door when Spike entered the room, a smile on her face. He looked her over, speechless because of her overwhelming beauty. But it wasn't only her beauty he was attracted to. Ever since he'd found out she'd been the Slayer, he'd only fet more attraction for her. However creepy or insane the idea of a Vampire Slayer was, he had seen it happen, and he couldn't deny it.
"Wow," was all he managed to get out.
Buffy could feel herself blushing. "Thank you," she said. "You look-. . Wow too."
He smiled. "Same old clothes," he said, looking down at his black pants and shirt. "Nothing fancy."
"Am I too-. ."
"Oh no, no. That's not what I meant," he said, walking over to her. "You look stunning."
"Gross," Dawn said, standing up from the sofa. "Get a room."
Buffy lookd down at her little sister and gave her an evil glare. Dawn ran out from the room, and Buffy looked up at Spike.
"Shall we go?" he said, taking her hand.
"We shall."
The Bronze was definitely the place to be that night. It looked as if the whole town was there. Seas of teenagers danced around the stage, while others chatted away at the tables.
Buffy followed Spike over to a table, and sat down. She looked around, and he followed her gaze.
"See anyone of importance?"
"I was just-. ."
"Trying not to make eye contact," Spike said, smiling. "'S okay pet, I don't bite." He paused. "Unless you want me to."
Buffy kicked him underneath the table and he swore under his breath in pain. "Oh, sorry. I-. . Well, forgot my strength."
"Is that possible?" he said, coughing.
"Sorry," she said again.
Spike slid off his chair, and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Make it up with a dance pet?"
She smiled and followed him over into the sea of people. /On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
Cuz you've come to rescue me
Fall... With you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you've known me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's senseless
How you never seem to care
When I'm angry, you listen
When youre happy, it's a mission
And you wont stop 'til I'm there
Fall... Sometimes I fall so fast
Well, I hit that bottom
Crash, you're all I have
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you known me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
How do you know everything I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face...
I hope it never goes away... yeah
On a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading into your arms...
So I can breathe
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you've know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me.../
