My apologies for the hiatus. There were many things keeping me busy, but I
hope you guys are too upset. Anyway, I don't know if any of you watch the
show, or if you have and haven't heard, well, the sucky WB is planning on
having season five as Angel's last show. For all of you out there who love
Spike, please sign the petition at Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoy this chapter.
Chapter Eight
Buffy couldn't believe what was happening. It was all to much. She never intended for it all to go that far. To be put in the man's will, for goodness sake! Now she had a hard decision to make, and it had to be made nevertheless. Expose herself as a fraud, or run away.
"Damn. Wish I had a camera bout now to take a picture." She opted to run away. As she hurriedly packed her bags of possessions in which did not belong to her, the door to her room abruptly opened.
"Sorry to barge in, pet. But I was wonderin' if- hey, what's going on?" Buffy was awe struck to see Spike accompanied by a large bouquet of roses.
"What are those for?" She asked, completely ignoring his question. He looked nervous for a moment before further entering the room.
"Oh, um... these are for you. Kind of a congratulations for being, um, more so in the family?" He asked more than stated. In actuality, he bought them because he was so relieved that she was in no way involved with his brother, not after their money, and because he now felt officially guilt free in liking her.
"Oh, thanks." She said before turning around to finish packing. Spike brushed off the fact that she didn't take the roses and placed them on a dresser.
"No problem. Where you headin' off to?" He asked, taking in the packed suitcases. Buffy finally stopped her movements, turning and facing him uneasily.
"Spike, I- I can't stay here. It's not right."
"You're more than welcome here. My father adores you and the baby. He- we want you to stay."
"No, I... Don't you see? This is all too much. It's like taking advantage and-"
"Really, it's not. My father's not daft, you know. He's fully functional. Stay here with us. You'll be safe and taken care of. You and Faith both." He pleaded.
"Look, I can't explain. Well, actually I could, but it'd be really bad. I'm sorry, but we have to go." Spike stared at her intently before completely exploding, waving his arms about.
"Bloody hell, woman! Are you completely around the bend?!"
"What? I'm not sure what that means, exactly, but it sounded insulting."
"Are you insane?"
"Excuse me?" She asked, incredulous.
"I mean, you have everything here; a home, a family who cares for you-"
"You think I don't know that? You think I'm leaving for shits and giggles?" She asked rhetorically, nearly on the verge of tears.
"No. It's just, I'd like us to get to know each other better and... Just think about it, okay? Weigh your options a bit, and I'm sure that you'll see that staying here is the heavier side. Ya know, cause there's more for you here." He said as he lightly grasped her hand. She gazed into his eyes, wanting to believe that staying was the right choice, but knew the answer already in her heart.
"All right. I'll think it over." He smiled at her then. Instead of replying, he merely nodded and left her to her thoughts. No sooner had he left was she sitting at the desk, writing her good bye letter. When she was finished, she got her baby and her bags and left for the train station. Little did she know she was being followed by a kind man with blue eyes.
A/N: Okay, it's short. No surprise there. The next chapter should be out like tomorrow, cause now I have to go to class. Anyway, please review, and sign the petition so we can save Angel! Or, write to Joss or whoever so the show can be moved to UPN. Come on, it just got really good!!
