Together Again

Spike woke up and looked around and then saw Buffy sleeping next to him on the couch. She was turned side ways and had her head on his shoulder and hand across his stomach. With his free hand he touched her to make sure she was real. She was indeed real. Spike stroke her hand and then moved his head a little and looked at her sleep and smiled. He closed his eyes and relaxed again. A few hours later Spike woke up with no Buffy. He jumped up and found her next to window. She turned around instantly when she heard him jump up.

Spike: (He mumbled) Thought you left.

Buffy: No...I told you I wouldn't.

Buffy thought he would want to talk about why she left next and braced herself.

Spike: So...want to get some breakfast? (He got up and Buffy was in total shock)

Buffy: Uh...well it's lunch now. (She was still in shock)

Spike: Come on. I know a great place.

(Buffy stood still for a moment and then moved to the door with him)

Restaurant: Spike and Buffy got some coffee and ordered. Spike kept looking at Buffy, which mad her uncomfortable. Buffy kept looking inside her coffee cup and around the restaurant, trying to avoid his stare. She thought the way they were just going out to lunch after yesterday was very odd. She was bugged by how he didn't ask her where she was or why she left.

Buffy: (She looked at Spike finally) Okay, what?!

Spike: Nothing (He just smiled)

Buffy: Why do you keep look at me funny then?

Spike: You hair's a little longer. (He said looking at her hair)

Buffy: (Looks down) A little. (Then looks up at him and then points to his hair) Your bleach is coming out. I can see your roots.

Spike: Yeah well I got to rebleach.

Buffy: (After a pause) What are you doing?

Spike: (Confused) What?

Buffy: This...not bringing up that I was gone. It seems you just want to forget it.

Spike: I do want to forget.

Buffy: Spike, we have to talk about this...I've been gone for a little over a month and—

Spike: 46 days...9 hours...39 minutes. (After he glances at his watch)

(Buffy looked amazed)

Spike: Pet...I'm anger but I can't seem to let it out somehow...I'm just too happy to have you back. (He thought for a moment) You are staying right? (He was worried about her answer)

Buffy: For now...yes...but I don't know after that.

Spike: Okay. (He seemed a little disappointed)

Buffy: How'd you get my address?

Spike: I didn't know where you were.

Buffy: (Looking perplexed and pulled the tape player out of her purse) Then who gave me this?

Spike: (Seeing the tape player) I gave that to Xander for Christmas.

(They both just realized what happened)

Spike: Does that tape show I'm a bloody wimp?

Buffy: (Smiles and shakes her head at his embarrassment) No...it shows a man who is heartbroken for a girl, and the girl is stupid for leaving him and wishes she could make things better.

Spike: (Smiles) Well...the guy thinks the girl is not stupid. He has been longing for her.

Buffy: (Flirting) Really?

Spike: (He smiles and then gets serious) (Softly) I missed you. (He looks down)

Buffy: I love you.

(Buffy just decided to say it and not hold back anymore. Spike looked up quickly)

Spike: You do?

Buffy: (Nods) Do you?

Spike: How could you ask me that? (Takes her hand across the table) You know I do.

Buffy: (Tilts her hand and plays with his hand) Might be more convincing if you said it.

Spike: (Takes his hand and places it on her cheek so she is looking at him) I love you Buffy Summers. You are the best thing that ever happened to me.

Buffy: Same here.

Later....Spike and Buffy are walking next to each other down the sidewalk of NYC.

Buffy: This has been quit a day...thanks for showing me around.

Spike: Yeah...it's probably the first time I actually felt alive in a while.

Buffy: I better get back to my hotel...its late.

Spike: No (Grabbing her hand) stay. You can sleep in my bed and I'll take the couch.

Buffy: No it's alright I'll be fine.

Spike: I insist Buffy.

Buffy: (Smiling) Insisting huh?

Spike: Yeah... (Stares at her with loving eyes) The day I met you Xander wanted to play a game and we had to do one amazing thing this summer.

Buffy: What did he do?

Spike: He picked up you and brought you into my life.

Buffy: And what was the amazing thing you did?

(Spike leaned forward and took his hands and put then on her waist and lips close to hers)

Spike: (Whispering) I can't thing of anything amazing then falling in love with you.

(Buffy looked teary and instantly leaned in and they had a passionate kiss right there in the middle of NYC)

(A car pulls up and honks its horn. Buffy and Spike part and turn and see Xander)

Xander: Well...well...well look what we got here.

(Buffy laughs and buries her head in Spike's shoulder)

Buffy: Hi Xander.

Xander: Hey Buffy. What do you guys say to the Xandman?

Buffy: Thank you Xander.

Spike: (Spike puts his arm around Buffy and they walk towards the car) Yeah thanks whelp.

Xander: No problem Captain Peroxide.

Spike: So where you heading?

Xander: I don't know...maybe on a little trip...might be adventurous. What to come?

Buffy: You know me, wild girl...I'm in.

(Buffy opens the back seat and slides and so does Spike right next to her)

Spike: So where we going that is so adventurous.

Xander: Oh it's in the far off land... (Buffy and Spike look confused. Xander rolls his eyes and gives up) Pizza Hut.

Spike: Ah...where the Holy Grail is huh?

Xander: Exactly.

(Buffy and Spike roll there eyes and look back at each other and kiss)

Xander: Don't mind me you two...just call me Dr. Lovvvveeee.
