Buffy sighed and then threw herself back onto her bed. She felt so
satisfied after the evening. Just being with Spike had made her feel so
safe and secure... and loved. She really liked it. Unfortunately her
relationship with Dawn at the moment wasn't quite so happy. She'd come home
to greet Dawn who had blatantly ignored and gone straight to her room the
moment she saw Buffy. She'd thought about going in after her but she
thought it best to leave her be.
/ But should I? I don't know if she's in a huff because she wants to talk to me or because she doesn't /
She'd briefly said hello to Willow who'd seemed ok, a little pale, but otherwise fine. It was probably Tara being over with Dawn that had done it.
/ I don't know why I never saw Tara the way I do now. She's so sweet; I wish we'd connected before. It's sad her and Willow have split, but it's nice that both Dawn and I have someone to talk to. If only all of us could be happy together.... /
She turned to the board above her desk and smiled at all the happy faces in the photos that looked back.
/ Look, there's us, before all of this. Xander, Giles, Will, Oz and me. That's how it was. All we had to worry about was the next demon. What changed? /
She turned over, curled her legs up and hugged herself on the bed.
/ Did we grow up? /
She paused her thoughts for a moment and gazed out the window.
/ Maybe we did. /
***************************************
All three members of the house lay awake that night, wondering.... But each wondering such different things.
/ I don't like it when things change so much/
/ Why does she ignore me? /
/ They just don't understand my power /
***************************************
Spike was also lying awake, which wasn't surprising since he was a vampire. But he was grinning like a Cheshire cat.
/ I don't care if things are slow. I love her. I really do. I don't know why but it's different now......... It's like for the first time I'm really with her.... When I'm kissing her she's kissing me back............. I'm kissing Buffy, not the slayer. / He closed his eyes and groaned happily just thinking of her.

Feedback: Just a little update for you since I've had a spare moment. Thank you so much for the reviews! I mean it :) Every review is just one more reason to continue this. I wish I could thank all of you individually but I just don't have the time since all my free time is spent writing this! Anyway, hope you're still reading and enjoying the fic. Let's just see where we go from here then......
