Chapter 17 PART 1
She wakes up encased in two strong muscular arms. Buffy opens her eyes finding Spike's blue one's staring back at her.
"How long have you been up?" she inquires.
"Long enough. You sleep like an angel."
She blushes.
"Spike, last night...last night was- "
"The best night of your life?"
She gives him an eyebrow yet shyly responds. "Yes."
"Don't have to be shy with me, luv. We know each other so well. We love each other so much. We are meant to be together," he says as peppering her with kisses.
She giggles as he blows into her ear, and she settles nicely in his arms. She absent-mindedly strokes his arm as he nuzzles her neck.
"Spike, have you ever thought about our future?"
"To be honest...I'd like some little mini me-s and you-s runnin' around."
Buffy laughs. "No not that far, silly...like next year. How about college, pursuing one's dreams?"
Spike more seriously, "Yes, actually. I have checked out the whole college bit. And do not worry, I won't end up a basement prat. I did get into UC Sunnydale."
"That's great! It's a good school!!"
"Uh yeah, I guess, "he replies modestly. "What 'bout you, pet? Got in to some big schools?"
"Well," she starts slowly, "I got into umm UC Davis, UC San Diego, UC Sunnydale, UCLA, and I'm waitlisted for Berkeley."
"...Wow." "That's..that's.." Suddenly he becomes depressed. Buffy is going to go off to some university, that's good enough for her. I guess that's best.
But his thoughts are interrupted by her lips. "Shh..you dummy! I'm not going to those places. I already accepted UC Sunnydale! Before...you know...us. I did 'cause I wanted to be close to Dawnie. I knew she was coming home for high school. But me and you being together...tat's the most wonderful bonus I could get."
Spike is grinning so hard that his cheeks start to hurt.
"You're staying. Here. For me.. and Dawn?"
"No. I'm staying for Jimmy who lives across the street- YES! For you baby! I love you."
"So you really want us to be together, for a long time?"
"I really do," she says sincerely with a small smile playing across her lips.
After a long shower, they both tip-toe downstairs, while everyone is still asleep. They creep into the kitchen, about to get some breakfast.
"Spike...do you smell something...something really good?"
"Just me baby"
Instead of starting on the breakfast, all is lost when their lips met.
They stop when they hear someone clearing their throat.
"Ooh!" Buffy stammers. "Angel! Hey! Rise 'n shine...hmm?"
Angel chuckles, and Spike is unsure. They haven't really talked after the whole incident.
Angel calmly remarks, "You guys don't have to be weird around me. Everything is cool. I got with Cordelia yesterday night."
Spike, his uneasiness fading away replies to his good friend, "Good for you mate! I knew you guys had a thing."
"Yeah. Umm...so guys what you want for breakfast?" Buffy asks with a smile.
"Waffles!" Dawn squeals coming into the kitchen.
"Dawn! What are you doing up so early? It's like 9!"
"Arghh...at school I had to get up by like 6. It was torture. So it's like I'm programmed to be up early."
She sees the guys.
"Hey Spike!" She gives him a hug. He's startled at first by her being so open, but hugs her back.
"Hey niblet."
"Niblet?"
"Sorry, something I called my neighbor back in Great Brit. few years ago. Just a bit younger than you."
"Oh. CooL! And hey...umm Angel right?"
"yea. Hey."
Angel looks around the kitchen and spots something on the refrigerator.
He reads it out loud:
Buffy-
Don't bother with the breakfast.
Open the dish on the kitchen counter.
Hope you kids have fun! Take care of Dawn for me.
Love Mom.
"Ooh. Mom made breakfast. Looks like no cooking for us today!!" Buffy said, relieved.
TBC....Sorry kids! Wanted to post more...but I'll do it tomorrow.
