AN: Song lyrics: "Home" by Saliva, "Such a Lovely Lady" by Don Williams
The three of us stood at the door in shock. Then Faith punched him in the nose. "Oh dear girls come into the house. Let me help your father up." She went over and helped him up. He dusted off his nice work jacket.
"I said get your things girls, you are coming home with me!" Now it was my turn. I stepped up and hit him again. This time he stumbled backwards, but was caught by two teenage guys behind him.
"Watch it mate, almost knocked us over." My eyes connected with him. His eyes were an amazing blue; his hair was bleach blonde with the most gorgeous face. I could tell he was well built, but not too much. He had on a tight black shirt with black pants. "Hey pet that was quite a hit."
"Oh… well he had it coming." I then snapped back to reality and looked at the man standing in the door way. He was holding his face, and his nose was bleeding from faith's hit. "You need to leave. We have our own life."
"I won't leave without my daughters. Now get your stuff and let's go. I want you to meet your new mother."
"She won't be our mother. Just because you marry some girl a couple years older than Faith and Buffy; then have a kid does NOT make her our mother!" Dawn yelled then ran upstairs crying. She slammed the door to her new room and we heard the lock.
I looked back to my dad, and then realized the two guys had never left. They had been standing there the whole time. "You left along time ago, and we've done just fine. So just leave again."
"You three are my daughters; this won't be the end of this." He stormed back to his yellow convertible and drove off.
"Do you think if we move in he will get me one of those?"
"Maybe, why don't you go see. Lord knows he is only being selfish and doesn't really want us."
"Yeah you're right B. Probably just needs some babysitters for his new brat." We laughed knowing it was true, then Faith went to check on Dawn.
"So how'd you like the show?"
"Sorry luv, we didn't mean to stare."
"We were just on our way to the basement to practice with Matt. Wanna come listen?"
"Actually that sounds kind of appealing. I'll be down there in a minute. I need to get out of my pajamas first." I said picking at the pick top I had on.
"Ok you do that; we'll be just down those stairs over there."
I nodded and watched them disappear into the basement. "Wait I didn't get their names…" I thought aloud and was interrupted by Faith.
"Don't worry slayer, looks like the blonde is into you. This is ok cause I kind of like the other one."
"Figures you would like him. He looks nice, but yet you feel the need to corrupt him." She hit me playfully then I picked my bags up and went to my room.
I put my stuff away into the dresser and put on some regular clothes. I decided on some tight jeans and a red tank top. I slipped on some of my other slippers and made my way down to the basement. It was loud with Matt's guitar plugged into his AMP, the one Faith liked was playing drums, and the blonde was playing the bass guitar. They all stopped as the light from the door opening poured into the room.
"Hey you must be one of the Summers girls living with us. Mom didn't say you were here."
"Yeah my name is Buffy. My twin is Faith, but she doesn't look anything like me. And then there's Dawn, she's thirteen."
"Well come on down. We won't be playing anything else right now, just going over the lyrics 'William the poet' wrote."
"William?"
"Listen I'm no poet so back off Matt. People call me Spike." Our eyes locked but we were interrupted by Matt.
"Excuse me you two love-birds, but we have another introduction. This is Angel. He's really good at the drums, but unfortunately a little shy."
"Yet I get more girls than you Matt."
"Can it or we'll get someone else to play drums. It's not that hard to replace someone who only bangs sticks on a hollow box."
"You are just jealous, because you're the only lead guitarist without a girlfriend."
"Ok anyways, can I hear the lyrics?" I interrupted them before the tension grew.
"Sure thing pet." Spike took a folded paper out of his hands and started to sing it. His voice was amazing.
I'll be coming home
Just to be alone
Cause I know you're not there
And I know that you don't care
I can hardly wait to leave this place
No matter how hard I try
You're never satisfied
This is not a home
I think im better off alone
You always disappear
Even when your here
This is not my home
I think im better off alone
Home
Home
This house is not a
Home
Home
This house is not a home
By the time you come home
Im already stoned
You turn off the TV
And you scream at me
I can hardly wait
Till you get off my case
"Wow that was really good Spike. I would have never guessed you were the writer type."
"Hey wasn't that written after you and Dru…?"
Matt's words were cut off by Spike's glare. "I can see you aren't the one to always say the smart thing." I gave Matt a playful smile. "I think I'm going to go upstairs and fix something to eat. Um Matt can you show me where some food is?"
"Well I could help you, Matt is busy anyways."
"Ok… but it is his house."
"Well his mum is like my mum. This house is just like mine, except I don't live it in. She's been so nice to me since my parents left me."
"Oh I'm sorry about your parents… but I mean you look like you're doing well."
"Thanks, you have been the first in eight years to not give me sympathy and just compliment me on my life."
My stomach growled softly, but was heard through the silent basement. "I guess that's my cue to go get some food." I walked up the stairs and Spike followed.
"What would you like? We have Cap'n Crunch cereal, things to make a sandwich, leftover pizza…" He looked at me and noticed my confused face.
"Um do you guys have any popcorn and peaches?"
"Popcorn and peaches? I heard the city girls were crazy… but ok if that's what you want."
He looked in the fridge and brought out a couple peaches and diced them up. Then cooked some popcorn and handed me both. "Thank you very much. Care to join me for some TV?"
"That sounds like it'd be fun, just let me go tell them I'm going to do something else and continue without me." Spike opened the door and yelled down to them, then turned around and headed back towards me.
"So what do you want to watch?"
"I was hoping we could catch the last half hour of… Passions?"
I looked over at him and laughed. "You can't be serious! You watch Soap operas?"
"It's not funny! Now give me the remote." I leaned away from him, but the arm of the couch stopped me from going any further. He reached over my head and tried to grab it, but I put my hand above my head. He leaned a little farther, but collapsed on top of me, but was still going for the remote. We were both laughing too hard to realize our position, or the people surrounding us.
"You aren't getting the remote."
"Oh really?" He raised an eyebrow, which was totally sexy!
"Yes really, I can take you any day!" He reached farther and tickled my sides, taking the remote from my hand. I was breathless and still laughing. "That's. Not. Fair!" I had to breathe in between each word, his piercing blue eyes then caught mine and we were speechless.
He put his hand beneath my hand, propping it up; he leaned down and was going to kiss me before Faith cleared her throat to get our attention. I tilted my head to see Faith, Dawn, and Aunt Loraine standing in the living room around us. "Not to interrupt this or anything B., but Riley is calling from L.A."
Spike got up and helped me into a sitting position. "Ok I'll get it in your room." I got up and looked back at Spike who just winked at me.
"Hello?"
"Hey Buffy its Riley."
"Oh hey, um what made you call here?"
"Just wanted to make sure you guys got there ok. I was going to ask if I could come down and visit this weekend."
"Riley we just got here; I mean our things aren't even unpacked."
"I know, but I miss you."
"I miss you too, but Riley you know that we could never be more than friends. We tried that before remember?"
"Yeah… ok well I'll talk to you later then. Bye."
"Goodbye Riley." I hung up the phone and stared at it. I knew Riley was a nice guy, and wouldn't hurt me if we got together, but right now I had to figure out my feelings for Spike.
"Hey B you alright?"
"Riley wants to be together again… but im not sure if I want to."
"Well it looks like you've already made a move with that guy down there. What's his name anyways? You do know it right?"
"Yes I know it, his name is Spike."
"Right, so B., the innocent girl is getting with Spike?"
"He's just called that, his real name is William. And he's really nice."
"Then to Hell with Riley, go for Spike. Besides, then you can hook me up with the other hottie."
"You mean Angel?"
"Is that his name? He's cute; I guess the name isn't too bad."
"Alright, well I'm going back downstairs, is Spike still here?"
"Yeah he's talking to the crazy woman."
"She isn't crazy Faith."
"Fine, he's talking to Aunt Loraine."
"Ok then I'll be down there." I walked out of the room and saw Spike sitting on the couch talking to Aunt Loraine. I hid in a shadow and listened to their conversation.
"I'm just saying Spike… Buffy has been a troubled girl for some while. She might be a little wild for you."
"I know, I was there when her father came, and I know her mum died. Matt told me. I don't really care. I think I like her."
"Well if you're sure." Then Aunt Loraine left and I continued down the stairs.
"Hey there." He looked up at me and smiled.
"That was some gathering, huh?"
"Yeah didn't expect the whole family to be there." I admit that Faith usually found the wrong moments to walk in, but this was the worst. He nodded in agreement.
"Well shall we continue?" I made my way over to the couch and sat down, looking down at my hands nervously.
"I'm not sure this is such a good idea Spike. I mean I've been through al-"I was cut off by his fingers being pressed against my lips.
"Its ok luv, I understand." He leaned and kissed me lightly, then pulled away. I quickly kissed him again, and then deepened the kiss. This time Matt came out.
"Hey Spike get off my cousin!"
"Matt just leave us alone!" I yelled not realizing it right away. Matt's face wasn't laughing anymore. And I started laughing.
"Are you ok Buffy? My mom said you were a little crazy, but wow!"
My head snapped around to glare at him. "I am not crazy! I'm sorry I snapped at you, but we have already been interrupted."
"Well this is my house, I'm sorry your parents don't want you, doesn't mean you can rule me around." I got up, and looked out the window; it was sunset now and figured I would take my anger out on the local vamps.
I went into my room and locked the door. I could hear Spike telling Matt to back off just a bit. Silent tears rolled down my face as I searched for something to wear. I picked out some red leather pants and a black shirt. Then I grabbed my little bag with a couple stakes and money. After sniffling up the tears I walked out of the room.
"Hey B. you ready?" I heard her from behind, and then I heard a laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"Why don't you turn around and see?"
I turned around and saw Faith standing there… with red leather pants and a black shirt. "Guess it's a twin thing."
We laughed and went into Dawn's room to say goodbye and that we'll be back later. As we left Dawn's room Spike was standing at the door waiting for me. "Where are you going Buffy?"
"Faith and I were just on our way out to…"
"We're just looking for a good time, right B.?"
"Right… a good time."
Spike gave me a hurt look. "Not that kind of good time though."
"It's alright pet, you don't have to save yourself for me, and it was just a kiss anyways."
He walked past me and down the stairs. I quickly followed and caught up with him. "Spike I meant that I don't want that kind of good time. I'm fine with just kisses." He smiled and leaned down for another kiss. He was such a good kisser!
"We should go now, before it gets too late and we can't have any fun."
"Right, I'll talk to you later Spike." We left and Faith pulled out a map.
"This is sad, we are the slayers, and we don't need to use a map. Shouldn't we have like special senses to lead us where we need to be?"
"I wish that's how it was Faith, but let's not concentrate on that, and let's concentrate on that vamp!" We both ran into action as Faith kicked him in the jaw and I punched him. He fell to the ground and I staked him. There were a few more coming at us, but they were quickly dusted.
Couple Weeks Later
"This place has a lot of vamp action, wanna go party?"
"You bet, but shouldn't we check in with Aunt Loraine, she seems the type that would like us to check in."
"Fine, but then it's out on the town for us." We walked back to the house and found it full of noise.
"Mommy I don't want to go to bed!"
"Joyce you will march your little butt down that hallway and go to bed!" Joyce stomped off to bed and Matt was in the kitchen with the stereo blasting. "Matthew turn that noise off!" Matt went to the basement, slamming the door behind him.
"Hey Aunt Loraine, we just wanted to check in, but we're going out again. Dawn knows our cell… so later." She just looked at us then turned around and went off into some room.
"I guess that was an OK." Faith said sarcastically and we headed out. As we got to the front yard, Angel and Spike were waiting. "What are you two doing out here?"
"Waiting for Matt."
"I don't think Auntie Loraine would appreciate you making her little boy sneak out." A twig snapped behind us, so I of course got into fighting stance.
"It's ok Faith, now let's go party. Have you guys been to the Bronze yet?"
"No we haven't had the chance to go yet."
"Well then you don't tell the crazy woman I'm out and I'll take you two girls to the bronze."
"Sure, sounds like it could be fun." I said trying to keep the mood light. We walked off into the dark; Faith was by Angel's side talking about drums and the high school we would be attending. Spike was behind the group. I noticed this and joined him. "Why with the loneliness?"
"I just have a lot on my mind, pet."
"Hmm I understand. Should I stay or should I go back with the others?"
"It's up to you, I don't mind the company."
"These last couple weeks well it's… I'm just wondering, is there an 'us'?"
"Do you want there to be an 'us'?"
"Yes I would, do you?"
"Well I don't see the harm in it." He grabbed my hand and we continued walking. We got to the Bronze and it was full of young, energetic teens. "Over here luv, it's where we usually sit." We came to a table that had a few guys already there, and a couple girls.
Angel, Faith, and Matt were there too. "So I guess there needs to be some introductions. Buffy and Faith, this is Wes, Gunn, and… well I don't know the other guy. And the first girl is Cordi; the other is Darla, and Dru."
Spike glared at Dru, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to talk to you Spikey. I love you, please don't leave me again."
"Dru I didn't leave you, you left me! Besides I have someone else now." Spike wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer.
Dru walked off and pushed into me on her way. Then Matt, Angel, and Spike left behind the stage to get ready to perform. About fifteen minutes later they came out. Spike took the microphone to speak. "This first song is dedicated to a new person in my life, whom is very special to me." His eyes were right on me, and all the girls were jealous.
Last night I came home and found you there
You with your pretty eyes and shinin' hair
Look at you, you're the kind of woman men stop and stare
Such a lovely lady to be mine.
Such a lovely lady should be somewhere else
It seems to me, the likes of me, isn't hard to find.
Sometimes going home, though it's not fair
I stop and have a drink or two, to see who's there
But when I do you're the kind of woman
I just leave them there
You're such a lovely lady to be mine.
Such a lovely lady should be somewhere else
It seems to me, the likes of me, isn't hard to find.
Last night I came home and found you there
You with your pretty eyes and shinin' hair
Look at you, you're the kind of woman men stop and stare
You're such a lovely lady to be mine.
Such a lovely lady to be mine...
The song finished and tears formed in my eyes. They played a couple more songs, and then got off. Spike walked up to me and took my hands in his. "Spike that song was amazing!" I kissed him lightly, and kept my arms around his neck.
"Well it was just for you. Would you like to dance?" I looked around and saw Faith getting a little tired and realized it was pretty late.
"Actually I think I'm going to head home now. It's late and I have to be up early tomorrow. It will my first day at Sunny Dale High."
"Don't worry, you'll be getting plenty of sleep in that boring place, luv." I laughed and we walked over to Faith, telling her it was time to go. Spike drove us home in his new Camero.
We came to a stop in front of the huge house and Faith got out. But I remained in the car with Spike. "So pet, tell me the truth. Did you really like the song?"
"Of course I liked it! Especially since it was for me."
"Oh is that right?" We laughed, but my facial expression soon turned serious when I saw my father walking up to the car.
"Dad what are you doing here?" Spike looked over at my window which was open and saw my dad slapping my face.
"Get out of the car Buffy!"
"Leave me alone!"
He opened the door and pulled me out by my hair, I could smell alcohol all over him, and cigars. "You are coming home with me Buffy, get Dawn and Faith now!" Spike had gotten out and walked me to the house, while my dad followed close behind.
"It's about time you come in B." Faith hopped off the kitchen counter and walked over to me. "What happened to you? Your face is all red." She then looked back at the doorway to see our dad standing there. "He better leave before I do more than bust his lip and nose."
"Is that a threat Faith? Because I can send you right back to Juvenile Hall young lady!"
I blocked Faith before she could get to him. "It's ok I'm going to go get Dawn and we will just go home with him." I winked as I passed her and went upstairs into Dawn's room. She was sleeping and the phone was right next to the bed. I went over and picked it up; I called the police and told them what was happening.
I closed dawn's door behind me quietly and looked over the banister at the 'family gathering'. "She's getting into some regular clothes; she didn't want to leave in her pajamas. I'm going to just get a few things from my room." I started to walk off, but my father called me back.
"I have plenty things at the house that I'm sure will fit you. Shirley is just your size."
"Is that because she's my age?" He glared at the comment, but blew it aside.
"Just hurry and get some things, will Dawn be ready soon?"
"Let me go check." I walked back into her room and found her awake and crying. "Dawnie what's wrong?"
"I'm not stupid Buffy! I hear dad down there! What does he want with us?"
"I don't know Dawn, but I need you to be very quiet and go inside the closet and lock it ok?" She nodded and did as I said. There was a knocking on the door.
"Buffy it's me Spike. How's the Bit?"
"She's fine, just finishing up will packing and getting dressed."
I opened the door, but quickly shut it behind me. Spike's arm wrapped around my shaking body. "Why doesn't he leave us alone?"
"I have no idea pet. Did you call the cops?" I nodded and he just held me tighter. Soon the police cars would be heard, and the lights were flashing in our window. They came in and questioned Spike, Faith, and me. My dad got arrested and was taken to the police station. A couple hours later Faith fell asleep in Dawn's room and I was on the couch with Spike in the living room. I had an ice pack on the face, even though I healed fast with my slayer powers. It was just to convince Spike I was a normal girl who bruised easily.
"I think I better go Luv. Your Aunt Loraine will get mad if I'm here too long." Spike got up, but I took his hand in mine pulling him back to the couch.
I scooted over with my legs over his lap and my arms around his neck. "Please don't leave." I kissed him and the kiss was deepened, but we both pulled away breathless. "We. Can't. Do. That. Yet."
"I know… I'm sorry."
"It's ok. Let's just go up to my room and sleep ok?" He said ok and we headed up to my room. I crawled under the covers and he did the same. I lay on my side and he spooned my shape; his arm draped around my waist and I could feel his breath on my neck. "I love you Spike."
I felt his breath stop and his pulse quickened. "I love you too." I smiled and then fell asleep. "Buffy, luv, let me show you how much I love you." I turned and faced him. I guess he saw the look of nervousness and surprise on my face. "Or if you're not ready."
"It's just that I've only known you for a couple weeks…"
"You don't have to, I understand completely." I looked into his icy blue eyes and knew this was love. But how? It was so soon and so rushed. Then again my parents fell in love at sixteen and marriedat seventeen. Though they didn't last forever…but I wasn't going to let that happen.
"I want to." He smiled and leaned down to kiss me. The kiss deepened with passion and love. Soon we were both stripped of our clothes and making love. It was painful, since it was my first, but knowing it was Spike made it better.
To be continued.
Well here's the second chapter! Please Read and Review!

"Yes I know it, his name is Spike."
"Right, so B., the innocent girl is getting with Spike?"
"He's just called that, his real name is William. And he's really nice."
"Then to Hell with Riley, go for Spike. Besides, then you can hook me up with the other hottie."
"You mean Angel?"
"Is that his name? He's cute; I guess the name isn't too bad."
"Alright, well I'm going back downstairs, is Spike still here?"
"Yeah he's talking to the crazy woman."
"She isn't crazy Faith."
"Fine, he's talking to Aunt Loraine."
"Ok then I'll be down there." I walked out of the room and saw Spike sitting on the couch talking to Aunt Loraine. I hid in a shadow and listened to their conversation.
"I'm just saying Spike… Buffy has been a troubled girl for some while. She might be a little wild for you."
"I know, I was there when her father came, and I know her mum died. Matt told me. I don't really care. I think I like her."
"Well if you're sure." Then Aunt Loraine left and I continued down the stairs.
"Hey there." He looked up at me and smiled.
"That was some gathering, huh?"
"Yeah didn't expect the whole family to be there." I admit that Faith usually found the wrong moments to walk in, but this was the worst. He nodded in agreement.
"Well shall we continue?" I made my way over to the couch and sat down, looking down at my hands nervously.
"I'm not sure this is such a good idea Spike. I mean I've been through al-"I was cut off by his fingers being pressed against my lips.
"Its ok luv, I understand." He leaned and kissed me lightly, then pulled away. I quickly kissed him again, and then deepened the kiss. This time Matt came out.
"Hey Spike get off my cousin!"
"Matt just leave us alone!" I yelled not realizing it right away. Matt's face wasn't laughing anymore. And I started laughing.
"Are you ok Buffy? My mom said you were a little crazy, but wow!"
My head snapped around to glare at him. "I am not crazy! I'm sorry I snapped at you, but we have already been interrupted."
"Well this is my house, I'm sorry your parents don't want you, doesn't mean you can rule me around." I got up, and looked out the window; it was sunset now and figured I would take my anger out on the local vamps.
I went into my room and locked the door. I could hear Spike telling Matt to back off just a bit. Silent tears rolled down my face as I searched for something to wear. I picked out some red leather pants and a black shirt. Then I grabbed my little bag with a couple stakes and money. After sniffling up the tears I walked out of the room.
"Hey B. you ready?" I heard her from behind, and then I heard a laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"Why don't you turn around and see?"
I turned around and saw Faith standing there… with red leather pants and a black shirt. "Guess it's a twin thing."
We laughed and went into Dawn's room to say goodbye and that we'll be back later. As we left Dawn's room Spike was standing at the door waiting for me. "Where are you going Buffy?"
"Faith and I were just on our way out to…"
"We're just looking for a good time, right B.?"
"Right… a good time."
Spike gave me a hurt look. "Not that kind of good time though."
"It's alright pet, you don't have to save yourself for me, and it was just a kiss anyways."
He walked past me and down the stairs. I quickly followed and caught up with him. "Spike I meant that I don't want that kind of good time. I'm fine with just kisses." He smiled and leaned down for another kiss. He was such a good kisser!
"We should go now, before it gets too late and we can't have any fun."
"Right, I'll talk to you later Spike." We left and Faith pulled out a map.
"This is sad, we are the slayers, and we don't need to use a map. Shouldn't we have like special senses to lead us where we need to be?"
"I wish that's how it was Faith, but let's not concentrate on that, and let's concentrate on that vamp!" We both ran into action as Faith kicked him in the jaw and I punched him. He fell to the ground and I staked him. There were a few more coming at us, but they were quickly dusted.
Couple Weeks Later
"This place has a lot of vamp action, wanna go party?"
"You bet, but shouldn't we check in with Aunt Loraine, she seems the type that would like us to check in."
"Fine, but then it's out on the town for us." We walked back to the house and found it full of noise.
"Mommy I don't want to go to bed!"
"Joyce you will march your little butt down that hallway and go to bed!" Joyce stomped off to bed and Matt was in the kitchen with the stereo blasting. "Matthew turn that noise off!" Matt went to the basement, slamming the door behind him.
"Hey Aunt Loraine, we just wanted to check in, but we're going out again. Dawn knows our cell… so later." She just looked at us then turned around and went off into some room.
"I guess that was an OK." Faith said sarcastically and we headed out. As we got to the front yard, Angel and Spike were waiting. "What are you two doing out here?"
"Waiting for Matt."
"I don't think Auntie Loraine would appreciate you making her little boy sneak out." A twig snapped behind us, so I of course got into fighting stance.
"It's ok Faith, now let's go party. Have you guys been to the Bronze yet?"
"No we haven't had the chance to go yet."
"Well then you don't tell the crazy woman I'm out and I'll take you two girls to the bronze."
"Sure, sounds like it could be fun." I said trying to keep the mood light. We walked off into the dark; Faith was by Angel's side talking about drums and the high school we would be attending. Spike was behind the group. I noticed this and joined him. "Why with the loneliness?"
"I just have a lot on my mind, pet."
"Hmm I understand. Should I stay or should I go back with the others?"
"It's up to you, I don't mind the company."
"These last couple weeks well it's… I'm just wondering, is there an 'us'?"
"Do you want there to be an 'us'?"
"Yes I would, do you?"
"Well I don't see the harm in it." He grabbed my hand and we continued walking. We got to the Bronze and it was full of young, energetic teens. "Over here luv, it's where we usually sit." We came to a table that had a few guys already there, and a couple girls.
Angel, Faith, and Matt were there too. "So I guess there needs to be some introductions. Buffy and Faith, this is Wes, Gunn, and… well I don't know the other guy. And the first girl is Cordi; the other is Darla, and Dru."
Spike glared at Dru, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to talk to you Spikey. I love you, please don't leave me again."
"Dru I didn't leave you, you left me! Besides I have someone else now." Spike wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer.
Dru walked off and pushed into me on her way. Then Matt, Angel, and Spike left behind the stage to get ready to perform. About fifteen minutes later they came out. Spike took the microphone to speak. "This first song is dedicated to a new person in my life, whom is very special to me." His eyes were right on me, and all the girls were jealous.
Last night I came home and found you there
You with your pretty eyes and shinin' hair
Look at you, you're the kind of woman men stop and stare
Such a lovely lady to be mine.
Such a lovely lady should be somewhere else
It seems to me, the likes of me, isn't hard to find.
Sometimes going home, though it's not fair
I stop and have a drink or two, to see who's there
But when I do you're the kind of woman
I just leave them there
You're such a lovely lady to be mine.
Such a lovely lady should be somewhere else
It seems to me, the likes of me, isn't hard to find.
Last night I came home and found you there
You with your pretty eyes and shinin' hair
Look at you, you're the kind of woman men stop and stare
You're such a lovely lady to be mine.
Such a lovely lady to be mine...
The song finished and tears formed in my eyes. They played a couple more songs, and then got off. Spike walked up to me and took my hands in his. "Spike that song was amazing!" I kissed him lightly, and kept my arms around his neck.
"Well it was just for you. Would you like to dance?" I looked around and saw Faith getting a little tired and realized it was pretty late.
"Actually I think I'm going to head home now. It's late and I have to be up early tomorrow. It will my first day at Sunny Dale High."
"Don't worry, you'll be getting plenty of sleep in that boring place, luv." I laughed and we walked over to Faith, telling her it was time to go. Spike drove us home in his new Camero.
We came to a stop in front of the huge house and Faith got out. But I remained in the car with Spike. "So pet, tell me the truth. Did you really like the song?"
"Of course I liked it! Especially since it was for me."
"Oh is that right?" We laughed, but my facial expression soon turned serious when I saw my father walking up to the car.
"Dad what are you doing here?" Spike looked over at my window which was open and saw my dad slapping my face.
"Get out of the car Buffy!"
"Leave me alone!"
He opened the door and pulled me out by my hair, I could smell alcohol all over him, and cigars. "You are coming home with me Buffy, get Dawn and Faith now!" Spike had gotten out and walked me to the house, while my dad followed close behind.
"It's about time you come in B." Faith hopped off the kitchen counter and walked over to me. "What happened to you? Your face is all red." She then looked back at the doorway to see our dad standing there. "He better leave before I do more than bust his lip and nose."
"Is that a threat Faith? Because I can send you right back to Juvenile Hall young lady!"
I blocked Faith before she could get to him. "It's ok I'm going to go get Dawn and we will just go home with him." I winked as I passed her and went upstairs into Dawn's room. She was sleeping and the phone was right next to the bed. I went over and picked it up; I called the police and told them what was happening.
I closed dawn's door behind me quietly and looked over the banister at the 'family gathering'. "She's getting into some regular clothes; she didn't want to leave in her pajamas. I'm going to just get a few things from my room." I started to walk off, but my father called me back.
"I have plenty things at the house that I'm sure will fit you. Shirley is just your size."
"Is that because she's my age?" He glared at the comment, but blew it aside.
"Just hurry and get some things, will Dawn be ready soon?"
"Let me go check." I walked back into her room and found her awake and crying. "Dawnie what's wrong?"
"I'm not stupid Buffy! I hear dad down there! What does he want with us?"
"I don't know Dawn, but I need you to be very quiet and go inside the closet and lock it ok?" She nodded and did as I said. There was a knocking on the door.
"Buffy it's me Spike. How's the Bit?"
"She's fine, just finishing up will packing and getting dressed."
I opened the door, but quickly shut it behind me. Spike's arm wrapped around my shaking body. "Why doesn't he leave us alone?"
"I have no idea pet. Did you call the cops?" I nodded and he just held me tighter. Soon the police cars would be heard, and the lights were flashing in our window. They came in and questioned Spike, Faith, and me. My dad got arrested and was taken to the police station. A couple hours later Faith fell asleep in Dawn's room and I was on the couch with Spike in the living room. I had an ice pack on the face, even though I healed fast with my slayer powers. It was just to convince Spike I was a normal girl who bruised easily.
"I think I better go Luv. Your Aunt Loraine will get mad if I'm here too long." Spike got up, but I took his hand in mine pulling him back to the couch.
I scooted over with my legs over his lap and my arms around his neck. "Please don't leave." I kissed him and the kiss was deepened, but we both pulled away breathless. "We. Can't. Do. That. Yet."
"I know… I'm sorry."
"It's ok. Let's just go up to my room and sleep ok?" He said ok and we headed up to my room. I crawled under the covers and he did the same. I lay on my side and he spooned my shape; his arm draped around my waist and I could feel his breath on my neck. "I love you Spike."
I felt his breath stop and his pulse quickened. "I love you too." I smiled and then fell asleep. "Buffy, luv, let me show you how much I love you." I turned and faced him. I guess he saw the look of nervousness and surprise on my face. "Or if you're not ready."
"It's just that I've only known you for a couple weeks…"
"You don't have to, I understand completely." I looked into his icy blue eyes and knew this was love. But how? It was so soon and so rushed. Then again my parents fell in love at sixteen and marriedat seventeen. Though they didn't last forever…but I wasn't going to let that happen.
"I want to." He smiled and leaned down to kiss me. The kiss deepened with passion and love. Soon we were both stripped of our clothes and making love. It was painful, since it was my first, but knowing it was Spike made it better.
