Don't kill me; I know this chapter is really short. I'm really trying, but some just come out really short when I type them. I don't even notice how short they are at first. Well, hope ya'll like it anyway!

Chapter 11

Buffy walked into her room and found Spike sitting on the bed. "Where's Dawn?" She asked as she sat down next to him.

"She's with Lorne. I was waiting for you." Buffy grabbed his hand and he looked at her. She was caught in his gaze.

"I really missed you." Spike smiled at her.

"I missed you, too. I'm sorry I never told you I was back. I didn't want to ruin your chance at a normal life and I thought I was doing the right thing, but after talking to Dawn I realized that I was wrong." Buffy looked away from him.

"What did she tell you?" Spike sighed.

"That you haven't been involved with anyone else. That you never got over losing me. I'm sorry, Buffy. I didn't mean to put you through that." Buffy looked back at him.

"It's okay, I mean I get why you didn't tell me. I'm sorry I lied to you." Spike nodded and smiled at her.

"It's forgotten." He said as he leaned closer to her and kissed her on the lips. He then pulled away suddenly. "You kissed him?" He asked her and Buffy knew what he was talking about.

"Right, I forgot that you would be able to sense that. I can explain." Spike shook his head and stood up.

"No, you don't need to. Let me guess. It was just a hello, right?" He said in a harsh tone and then walked out of the room. Buffy got up after him.

"Spike, wait!" She yelled after him, but he didn't even look back. Buffy let out a sigh. "Great, I really know how to screw everything up." She said to herself as she walked back in her room and lay on the bed. She decided to leave him alone for right now.
