Claire woke the next morning to find Spike with his arms wrapped around her with his chest pressed against her back. She slowly slid around to face him she seen he was just lying there watching her while stroking her arm softly. She said weakly "Hey" "Hi pet, did you sleep well?" she turned onto her back and said "Yeah, last night was great" she leaned up and kissed him on the lips. "Mmm, yes it was pet." He turned onto his back as well so she laid her head on his chest. "Spike" "yes luv" "Do you trust me?" "What do you mean luv?" he asked turning on his side to face her. "Right" she got up and took a ring out of her jean pocket and gave it to him, he looked at it puzzled. "What do I do with it?" he asked. "Well, you put it on and follow me outside." She said getting up and putting on her thong bra and jeans she looked at the remains of her boob-tube and smiled. "Well pet, encase you haven't guessed I'm a vampire which kinda means no Sun." he told her. "Of course I know you're a vamp but that's not the point the point is do you trust that this ring will stop you spontaneously combusting? Cause I think it will and if you trust me you'll come outside and see." "So if I really trust you I have to put on this ring and follow you out there but still knowing that I may well burst into flames." He didn't look convinced. "Yes. And if you don't trust me that much to believe what I say then I think last night was a mistake. It was great. But I don't like going to bed" she looked at him then finished, "or floor, with guys who don't even believe what I say." She put her trainers on and went towards the door. "mmm" he said to himself. "Well I'll just be outside in the sun if you decide to come out. Ok. If you're not out in 5 I'll go round to Angel's see how much he trusts me." She waved and walked out. He looked at the ring and started to put on the rest of his clothes. *Oh bloody hell! Well may as well. at least she'll know I trusted her before I combust* he put the ring on and picked up his shirt and opened the door.
Spike just stood there unable to move, feeling the warm light all over his cold body. It was a wonderful feeling he opened his eyes to find Claire looking at him. "Are you glad you trusted me?" she asked smiling at him. "Big time pet, but how did you get this?" He asked closing his eyes again. "I made it myself; I'm not just a slayer with a pretty face you know." She said matter-of-factly. "Wow pet, anything else you can do that I should know about." He smiled. "No, not really unless you count I'm a witch who graduated from Harvard." She took his hand and made him walk with her through the grave yard he just realised how beautiful it looked in the sun. "Pretty impressive. So where are we going?" he entwined her fingers with his just walking letting the sun beam own on his bare chest. "I always thought you would look great in the sun... oh yeah we're going to Angels" she said just watching him in the sun. "What are we going to the poof's for?" not saying it with an angry tone like he usually did when mentioning Angel. *wow he's not even bothered about mentioning Angel. I don't think anything could take out of this mood.* "Well I have to give him his ring cause I think he's spent long enough out of the sun as well." He just looked down at her and smiled in conformation.
Spike decided to stay outside in the sun while Claire went into give Angel his ring. Claire took the stairs to Angel's room knocked and went in. he was still asleep when she went in. she crawled on top of him and straddled him. She kissed him lightly on the lips and run her hands over his firm chest. He woke up and flipped her onto her back so he was over her before he even opened his eyes. "Wow. Calm down big guy it's only me." She smiled innocently at him. He moved off her and back onto his back. "Sorry it's just when beautiful women come in and straddle me when I'm sleeping I get a bit jumpy." He looked over at her and smiled she smiled back. "So what brings you here?" he asked she turned to him and propped herself up on her elbow. "Well, I came for two reasons. One do you trust me and two if you do then" she pulled a ring similar to Spike's from her pocket. "Go outside with this on." "I do trust you but, you do know that it's sunny outside right and I don't want to burst into flames." He smiled at her while saying this. "I know but if I told you that you wouldn't combust would you believe me and go outside." He looked and studied her face for a minute then sighed. "Yes." He looked at her before getting up and putting on slacks and taking the ring from her. He put it on and braced himself, he opened the porch curtains and stood there dumbfound when he seen no flames on himself. He stood there for a good five minutes before turning and facing her. She walked up to him and opened the door. Took his hand and led him out to let him stand in the proper light. "Where did you get this." He closed his eyes. "Made it myself." She let go of his hand. "Well I've got to go Spike's waiting. Bye." He turned around and grabbed her arm. "What! Spike has one as well?" He looked a bit disappointed. "Oh my god I knew the rivalry thing was a big deal between you to, But God Angel. He was fine when I said I was coming to give you yours." She looked slightly pissed. He took as deep breath. "Right I'm sorry maybe I over reacted but it's just its Spike in the daylight!" her face didn't change. "What the hell's wrong with that no different from Angel in the sunlight." She started to walk away but she was stopped when she found Angel's hand was still holding her arm. "Right. Ok I won't say anymore about it. I'm sorry." He looked at her with his deep brown, which made her go weak at the knees. She smiled instantly. "It's ok really." She let out a breath she didn't realise she had been holding. "So we're ok now?" he asked looking at her again with his brown eyes, she thought she would fall over, when Spike came in. "Hey luv, peaches. Oh "he lifted Claire up spinning her around and putting her back down. "It is a great day all thanks to my lil slayer." He said smiling broadly. "Well peaches if you don't mind me and Claire are going out." He took Claire's hand and entwined their fingers and led her off. "Have fun in the sun peaches." Claire looked back at Angel and waved before walking out the room. *She is so great! Well she's Spikes now........ Oh damn. Anyway even if she wasn't with Spike there's still that stupid gypsy curse.*
"Where are we going?" Claire asked excitedly. "Well luv, we're going to have a good time in the sun. Ah here we are." He stopped in the middle of a park where there is a picnic with food and drink and a huge rug under a tree. "Spike, it's beautiful." Claire said sitting down. "Only the best for you and everything you've done for me pet." He sat down himself opening the champagne and pouring them both a glass. He leaned back against the tree pulling Claire into his chest. They stayed like this all afternoon eating drinking laughing and just lying in the sun. When night started to come Claire and Spike were lying flat on the rug. Claire was lying on Spikes chest with his shirt on. "It's been a great day Spike, thanks." She finished the sentence by leaning up and kissing him. "No luv, it was you who should be thanked for the ring and for everything." He pulled her close to him and hugged her. "To bad it had to end with us fighting vampires." Claire sighed and watched as the stars started to appear.
Claire and Spike were walking in the cemetery. They hadn't seen many vamps, when all of a sudden three came out of no-where. "You, Slayer come with us!" the biggest one said in a ruff tone. Spike stepped in front of Claire and pushed the bigger vamp back. "I don't think so mate." The big vamp picked Spike up and threw him into the nearest tree, where he vamped out and lay like that. Claire came up kicked the vamp in the back of the knees and put a stake in his back. The next vamp charged at her, but she moved and he fell into a tree with a loose branch sticking out. Once he seen how easily his brothers were dusted the other one tried to run but Claire threw her stake which caught him in the heart and he turned to dust. Claire ran over to Spike he was vamped out. "Hey, come on it'll be ok." She said stroking his face. "Yeah pet." His face fell. She picked it back up and kissed him tenderly while he was still vamped. He pushed her away and said, "Don't touch when I'm like this..." he said hanging his head. "Like what? Oh vamped... I barley noticed." She started kissing him again and felt his face return to normal. When he pulled away she seen he had a big cut on his fore- head. "Spike, you're hurt. I'm taking you back to mine to get cleaned up." Once they reached Claire's they went up where put stuff on Spike's head to make him feel better. She then put him in her bed and went to get a drink of water when she came back she seen that he was asleep. *He looks so hot when he sleeps just like..........Angel. God why do I always think of him, I think I've thought of him enough the last hundred or so years. Mind you that wasn't by choice though going to hell was a lot of good that did.* She sighed. *right I think I'll go over. mmm that could work.*
Angel was sitting in the bath. *God why do I always think of her. She's not been off my mind since the night she came.* he was lying in the bath with his eyes closed still thinking of Claire when he was suddenly aware that she was there in the bathroom with him. "What are you doing here?" he asked smiling still not opening his eyes. He opened them when he felt her get in the bath with him. "Well I thought I could help you with a problem." She replied, slowly moving her hands up his firm legs. She could feel him beginning to harden. "Claire, what are you doing, one your with Spike and two the curse." He said pushing her hands away. "Well who exactly said I was with Spike, sure I've slept with him but we're not exactly a couple. And second who cares about the curse. Trust me it'll be fine." She slid her himself up to his end of the bath and straddled him massaging his neck and whispering in his ear. He wrapped his arms around her. "Trust me.........." She said before kissing him passionately, he moved his hands round to her belly button and up to her breasts and started caressing her nipples eliciting a moan. She felt him harden again and eased her self onto him. They started moving in perfect rhythm meeting each other for every thrust. They had both reached for their peaks when they let go falling in pure ecstasy. When it had finished Claire felt him tense and start to scream. "Claire run its happening." He repeated this over and over. Claire got up made magical chains appear on the wall where she tied his arms. Claire wrapped a towel around herself but turned around when she heard the laughter of Angelus. "Ha-Ha. Oh, I can't believe all it took was an old hot friend and now I'm back. Thank-you kitten, it was good of you to let me out now maybe you can let me out of these chains." He said tugging at his bonds. "Sorry babe, but I only brought you here to give you a proper soul, sorry. But after this you won't be coming back" she said picking up the paper on the chair. "Well, that's so nice do you really think you'll mean more to the soul than Buffy even if you give him a ground soul or not?" Angelus asked distracting her. "No. I don't but I'm not doing this to mean more to him than Buffy I'm doing this cause I'm his friend." She started to get the place set. "Friends. Yeah who have the occasional shag when you're with Spiky, how is my grand-childe anyway. It would have been so nice if he could stop by so I could....." he was cut off by Claire. "Leave him out of this." She sounded angry. "Don't get angry kitten I wouldn't tell our secret, just to say hi and catch up." He smiled his famous angelic smile. "Always did like to say hi, then rip peoples throats out." Still smiling. "You have been doing your homework, what book did you get that from?" his smile never leaving his face, his eyes never leaving hers. "Ha. A book half the murders and tortures you committed aren't even in the books. No I witnesses it first hand." Still setting up her eyes never once left his. "Oh yes how did you do that go back in time." His smile grew bigger. "No, in hell." His face changed into a more serious form then back. "Hell, you don't know what hells like. You couldn't imagine what it's like." This time it was she who smiled. "No of course not that's why I was there for 400 years. During that time I was raped tortured killed and mentally abused. Or so they thought about the mental part. But something kept me ground, something stopped me seeing what they were doing to me for sometime. I still felt the pain but I wasn't as bad as it could be. Instead of seeing what they did I seen everything you and Angel did. And also what Spike did. That's what occupied my thoughts for 400 years. But you know that's in the past so, back to now." She got the last of the things laid out. Angelus smiled wider. "What's so amusing please share Angelus, I shared with you." He laughed to himself. "Oh, well the souls kind of upset about this new found information also why would someone like you end up in hell." Still laughing quietly to himself. "Well, why don't you ask the man that put me there?" Claire murmured some words and a screen appeared. "Hi William. How are you? Mmm (laughing quietly) stupid question when your in a hell dimension. I'm so rude Angelus William, William Angelus. So William why don't you tell my friend here why I was out in hell. "sh...She wwwas put in hell to save her family. Shshe made a deal with me if I don't kill her family she would go to hell. So I put her in hell promising I wouldn't harm her family. But one of my minions killed her family, so she was realised and her friend put me in his home-made hell dimension. Quite funny really how is old Dennis anyways?" he asked now sounding cockier. "I didn't bring you here so you could ask question, I brought you to answer one, now you've done that bubye." Claire murmured another thing and William was gone. Well now you know I was telling the truth. Oh well Angelus you've worn out your well come so I guess Angel's coming back." She waved at him before chanting. She closed her eyes and didn't open them till she heard Angel's voice. She walked over to him and un-chained him kissing him lightly on the head. "It's ok. Angelus is never coming back again. I gave you a proper soul no happiness clause." Claire pulled him to her and hugged him; Angel looked up at her and smiled gratefully. Claire helped him out of the bath and into his bed she sat and watched until he fell asleep.
Claire woke the next morning to find Spike with his arms wrapped around her with his chest pressed against her back. She slowly slid around to face him she seen he was just lying there watching her while stroking her arm softly.
