Chapter 14: Mistakes?
A week after what happened outside the coffee house, Buffy hadn't spoken to Spike. Without saying anything they had both decided the Sunday tutoring session wouldn't be happening. When she had gotten home Angel was gone but that hadn't bothered her, she was still flying on cloud nine from earlier. She had thought about it constantly for the past week.
It was now Friday, finals were over and it was the last day of school, they would get the results of their finals in a report card that day in their class. Which had only twenty minutes left to go. Buffy was nervously twiddling her thumbs, when Willow leaned over to talk to her.
"I can't believe summer vacation starts today." she said excitedly in a hushed voice, almost bouncing in her seat.
"I know, I'm so glad I'm back here and get to share it with my bestest friends." She replied.
They were interrupted by the sound of the teacher clearing his throat.
"Okay everyone, there's only a few minutes left, so I'm going to pass around the reports." he announced. Buffy suddenly became nervous again as he walked up and down the aisles handing out the envelopes. When he reached her she thanked him quietly, turning the envelope over in her hands.
Standing at the front of the class again the teacher looked at the clock.
"Ok, well the bell's about to ring so, have a nice summer." as he finished the sentence the bell rang and everyone jumped from their seats muttering wishes of a good summer to the teacher before rushing for the door.
Buffy and Willow ran towards their lockers where Xander was already waiting, a grin on his face.
"Hello ladies, how are my two favorite girls?" he asked.
"Good." they replied together. When they had removed their things from their lockers the started for the door.
"So how'd you do on your finals Xand?" Willow asked her friend. "Not as bad as I expected. I passed at least. I got 5 c's and a b- but hey, better than usual" he answered good naturedly,. Xander knew he wasn't a great student but he didn't let it bother him. He was a good person "How about you two?" he returned.
"Willow smiled proudly, "All A's" the others groaned but congratulated her. They just weren't surprised. As they walked towards the school gate they looked towards Buffy expectantly .
"Well, I told my mom I would wait until I got home to open them." she said apologetically. Willow and Xander just shrugged, accepting it. As they walked through the gate they heard a car beep its horn and turned in the direction of the sound. Buffy smiled at the familiar black car, moving closer to it, Spike's head popped up over the roof with a smile
"Hey luv, how'd you do?" he called out to her. She knew he meant the finals and she just shrugged.
"Don't know yet," she called as she approached "told mom I'd wait until I got home." Spike pouted.
"But I want to know now." he demanded walking over to stand on the pavement next to her.
"Stop being a baby and be patient." she teased upon seeing the pout.
"Fine," he grumbled "but I'm driving you home," he turned to the others "you guys too if you want" he offered.
However, Willow and Xander could see that they had to talk so they shook their heads 'no'.
"Thanks anyway." Willow gave him her usual friendly smile, he returned it as he went back to the drivers side.
"Alright then, jump in goldilocks." he motioned to Buffy to get in the other side, which she did while she called goodbye to her friends.
"Hey Buff, Bonze tonight." Willow reminded her.
"Definitely, see you then." she waved as they walked away.
As Spike began to drive an awkward silence overtook the car. It drove both of them crazy, neither regretted what happened, but both thought the other did. Soon it all became too much.
"We need to talk." they said simultaneously, the both chuckled slightly.
"You first." he told her.
She sighed. "Look Spike, I know you think what happened last week shouldn't have happened but..."
"Wait a minute," he cut her off "I think you mean you think that."
"No, I don't regret it." she disagreed.
"Well neither do I."
This stunned both of them, they couldn't fully believe how wrong they had been about how the other would have felt about the week before.
"But," he continued "I don't want to hurt Drusilla. I do like her. I don't know what to do."
Buffy's heart sank but she could understand where he was coming from. "I know, and I know he's not the greatest guy in the world but I do care for Angel."
That seemed to decide it for them both.
"So we keep trying the friends thing." Spike finally concluded.
"Yeah," she said softly. They pulled up in front of her house. She got out and went round to Spike's side, popping her head through the window. "Gonna come in, share the news with us?" she asked, genuinely wanting him to be there.
"I don't think..."
"I want you to." she insisted.
"Ok." he smiled as she stood back and he got out. He followed her into the house, but Joyce wasn't there She looked around finally finding a note on the fridge.
"Buffy, had to go to the supermarket and run some other errands. Be home soon. Dawn at a friend's house. Mom. X."
"Sorry," she turned to Spike looks like we're gonna have to wait a while." then she noticed the pout was back. She sighed as she realised just how cute he was when he did that. And truth was she really wanted to know how she had done. The envelope in her pocket was burning a hole their, she didn't want to wait. She pulled it from her pocket smiling sheepishly.
"I wanna know now too." she peeled back a bit of the seal "Ok here we go, cross your fingers." she ordered, he did as he was told while she tore into the envelope pulling out the piece of paper.
Spike jumped when she let out a scream, well an excited yell.
"Oh my god." she yelled thrusting the paper in his face .
He looked it over and then let out a whoop of his own "This is great, luv." he congratulated.
"I can't believe it 4 A's a B and a C. Oh my god, Spike this is all because of you." she thought she had done ok but not that well. She was so excited that she threw her arms around him in a tight hug. She felt spark surge through her at the contact.
When they pulled away she gazed into his eyes and saw the same passion and love as the week before. And just as the previous week she couldn't help it, she kissed him. And he didn't hesitate to respond. Probing her mouth for entrance.
"I want you." she gasped pulling back slightly.
"You've got me." he declared..
She pushed his coat off his shoulders as she walked backwards to the stairs. She pried their lips apart to run up them and waited for him at the bedroom door. As soon as he was there his lips were on his once again. She pulled him into the room, leaving him to kick the door closed. Before he knew it she had his shirt over his head and his belt almost undone. There was no going slowly, this was pure want and need. He slipped her tank top over her head trailing kisses along her neck and shoulders. She moaned, tangling her fingers in his hairs for a moment before going back to undoing his belt. She pulled it out and then undid the button and zip of his jeans. They fell to his knees and she pushed him onto the bed. Kneeling in front of him she pulled of his shoes and the slid his jeans off the rest of the way. She kissed up his chest and neck until she reached his mouth and kissed him soundly on the lips. He pulled her to a standing position, he pushed down her skirt and the skipped off her thong, relishing the look of her once again. She pushed him backwards, kissing him softly along his cheek bones. Those had always been her favourite feature when she looked at him. So sharp and they made him look incredibly sexy. She crawled up his body, straddling him. She took his penis in her hand, pumping it a few times before placing It at her entrance and sinking down on it.
"Spike." she gasped.
She began to thrust up and down slowly at first, quickly picking up in speed. As always their rhythm was perfect. They just fit so well together In every way. He moaned as she bounced on him. She felt like every time she was with him it just got better and better. She was so close already, just the fact that it was him almost being enough to send her over. Spike could feel how close they both were and flipped them over, pounding into her furiously.
"Buffy," he breathed "god, love you... so bloody much."
"Love you too." she said through a moan.
He moved his hand between them and began rubbing at her clitcircling it with his finger. Buffy moaned and gasped as she moaned against him, her legs wrapped around his waist to pull him deeper. He thrust a few more times, they looked into each others and then they were coming together. Moaning each others names as they did.
As they came down slowly he kissed her softly, then rolled off her. They lay side by side for a moment. Not saying a word. But that couldn't last, the perfection of it couldn't last.
"What are we going to do?" she asked quietly, wrapping her arm around his waist as she turned to him.
"I don't know," he responded kissing her softly on the head "I don't know."
They didn't think much as they were soon asleep in each others arms, feeling for now like they were the only two people in the world."
