wicked-angel3: Thank you! I probably wouldn't have noticed that if you hadn't have told me. I fixed the last chapter, and I'd be so greatful if you could forget I did that, lol. I was just trying to fit Xander and Willow in. Sorry.
Thank you to everyone else who reviewed, I'm glad you guys like it!
Buffy opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Spike staring back at her. She snuggled into him, and yawned.
"What time is it?"
"Time we should be getting you up luv. School," he said.
"But the bed is so comfy," Buffy said. "Do we have to go?"
Spike smiled down at her. "'Fraid so. C'mon," he said, lifting her up into a sitting position. "I'll go make you breakfast."
"Do you have time?" she asked.
He glanced back at her alarm clock, it read 7:15am. "Plenty. You get up and get ready, and I'll have some food downstairs waiting."
She kissed him gently before pulling away and jumping off of the bed.
Buffy walked out of her second class that day just as the bell rang for lunch. She headed over to her locker, a bit surprised when she saw Faith standing there. Opening her locker, she threw her bag in and closed it, facing her twin.
"What's up?" she asked.
"Nothing B, I was just gonna wait for you to go meet the guys."
"Um...Actually I was thinking of going with Spike," she said. "But, you can come."
"And be the third wheel? I'll pass," Faith said, before starting to walk away.
Buffy grabbed her arm. "Don't be mad Faith. I just want to eat lunch with Spike today."
"Who said I'm mad B? You're going with Spike, and I'm going with Angel."
"Well I just...Don't want you to be upset," Buffy said, dropping her grip on her sister's arm.
"I'm not," she said, starting to walk again, but stopped and turned. "Oh yeah, and Giles wants to see you tonight. So don't make any plans with your new boy toy."
Buffy frowned at her sister. Why was she so mad? Did it have to do with the fact that the guy who wanted Buffy dead, didn't want her dead too? 'Why would she be mad about that?' Buffy thought. 'I'd be happy.'
Buffy jumped when she felt someone wrap their arms around her waist from behind. Turning in his grip, Buffy smiled up at Spike.
"People are going to start to stare," Buffy said.
"Let them," he said, leaning down to kiss her.
"Spike..." she said, wriggling out of his arms. "If people know, then..."
"Buffy, I'm starting to think maybe you don't like me like I like you," he said. "Why do we have to keep this a secret?"
"Spike, you know that if my dad ever found out..."
"I don't think this is about your dad luv," he said. "But until you figure out if you want to be with me or not, I'm not going to just hang around, and only be with you in the shadows."
"Spike please..."
"No Buffy," he said. "You have to make a decision. I...I love you. And I don't want to keep that hidden from the world. I wanna be able to stand on the roof tops and tell everyone that I love Buffy Summers."
"Why can't you just understand?"
"I'm trying to Buffy, I want to. But I won't sit around and wait for you to figure out whether or not you love me too."
Buffy could feel tears forming, but sniffed them back. 'He loves me?' she thought.
"Think about it," he said, turning to leave.
Buffy went to speak, but no words came out. 'God, could this day get any worse?' she thought. 'Great, now I'm going to lose the one guy I actually think I'm in love with.'
Later that day, Buffy was in her room reading, when she heard someone scream downstairs. Shocked, and concerned, she jumped off her bed and hurried down the steps.
When she got to the bottom, she saw Faith wrapped in Angel's arms, and realized, that the scream hadn't been a scream of terror or fear, but a scream of excitement.
"So nothing is happening between you two, huh?" Buffy said, interrupting their kiss.
Faith pulled away from Angel and looked at Buffy. "Maybe a little something something...Not that you should be one to complain B."
"I'm not," Buffy said, raising her hands. "Won't dad kill you when he finds out you're here?"
"Pops isn't home," Faith said. "He's gone for a week, along with Darla."
"What? Why?"
"'Business'," Faith said. "Probably just want to shag in private."
"Faith," Buffy said. "I don't think Darla's really in the 'shagging' mood."
"What do you mean?" Angel asked.
"Didn't you see her this morning? She looks kinda sick...Last night she was throwing up in the bathroom..."
"Do you think it's serious?" he asked.
"I don't know. I'm not a doctor," Buffy said. "Anyway, I'll leave you two alone to continue with the smooching."
Buffy turned around and headed out towards the backyard. She stopped in the doorway when she heard voices outside. Poking her head out, she saw Spike standing by the pool, Drusilla in front of him.
"Spikey, I want us to be a family again," she said, reaching out for his hand.
"No Dru," he said, stepping back.
"Do you love her William?"
"Do I love who?" he asked.
"Buffy," she said, growling like a dog. "She wishes to take you from me."
"I'm not yours to be taken from Dru," he said. "And besides, Buffy doesn't want me."
"Then why do you follow her around like a little, lost puppy without a home?" she asked, moving closer to him. "I can take you in, puppy."
Buffy rested herself against the wall inside. She took a deep breath, and could feel her heart breaking. She didn't want to lose Spike. She loved him. But if she didn't tell him that, what would stop him from going back to Drusilla? She had to tell him.
