Chapter 5 - Angel?
A
week has passed since Buffy and Spike had sex for the first time.
Nothing has gone wrong, Cordelia came back for her stuff, the visit
was as nice as possible. She was happy for the two and Spike forgave
his former lover and his friend.
Buffy hasn't heard from Angel
and she had moved into Spike's room.
They knew their
relationship was moving fast but they weren't about to stand in the
way of destiny considering all the rocky relationships they have had
in the past. They figured they deserved some happiness in their
lives.
"Buffy? Where are you?" Spike called from the
kitchen. He just got home from the bar and was grabbing coke from the
fridge.
"I'm in the bedroom, sweetie!" Buffy yelled back to
him.
He walked into the bedroom to see her making the bed and
picking up various things off the floor.
Spike came up behind
her, wrapped her arms around her in a hug and kissed her on the top
of the head. They smiled.
"I missed you so much." He said
squeezing her a little more and resting his head on top of hers.
"I
missed you too." she smiled as she leaned back into his embrace.
"What do you want to do to today? I don't have to go to work
until nine."
A smiled formed on Buffy's lips. "Lets rent
Romeo and Juliet, the one with Leonardo Di'Carprio." Buffy said
excitingly and kind of jumpy.
"Sure." Spike said not really
wanting to watch a chick flick but figuring they both needed a chance
to wind down from their hectic week. Buffy and Spike
walked into the movie rental store holding hands.
When the walked
in they saw the categories.
Action.
Romance.
Horror.
Drama.
Classics.
TV.
Adult....
and the list
continued.
Buffy dragged Spike over to the romance section and
looked at all the movies staring back at them.
Buffy quickly
found her desire, grabbed the tape off the shelf and dragged Spike to
the counter.
Spike smiled at her control.
At the counter
Buffy grabbed some movie candy and so did Spike.
They bought
their candy and rented the movie, then left for their home.
"There has never been a story of more woe than that of Juliet and
her Romeo"
"That's so sad." Buffy cried.
They just
got done watching the movie and the end credits were rolling.
"I
know." Spike said patting her back, comforting her.
"I highly
doubt that that would really ever happen in real life, I mean two
lovers dying at the same time. It just sounds like some fantasy world
that would never happen to anyone who wasn't in a movie." Buffy
said criticizing the movie.
"Well stranger things have
happened." Spike said as he kissed her. "A lot stranger things."
Buffy snuggled next to Spike. He stroked her hair and then
glanced over to the clock.
"Buffy, I have to get ready for
work." Spike stood up off the couch.
Buffy pouted jutting out
her bottom lip. "Why?"
"We need money to keep this
wonderful castle going and we have to pay our loyal servants."
Spike laughed
Buffy stood up. "Spike?"
"Yes?" He
asked as her faced her.
"Should I get a job? I mean can you
afford all this with bar tips?"
Spike smiled. "If you want to
work I'm not going to stop you. It's not like we live in the
forties. I inherited a lot from my grandpa though."
Buffy eyes
widened. "Cool."
"I knew you only loved me for my money."
He said smiling
Buffy laughed. "See you later."
Spike said kissing Buffy and then walked out of the house heading for
his car.
Spike was now gone and Buffy looked around the house
thinking of something to do.
"And what to do now." She said
with her hands on her hips scanning the room.
Figuring she hasn't
been online in a while she walked to Spikes office that was next to
their bedroom. She walked down the hall, opened the door and sat down
at the computer desk.
Waiting Patiently for the computer to start
up Buffy tapped her fingers on the wooden desk.
BANG!
Buffy
quickly stood up and looked around.
Nothing.
She quietly
reached into the drawer of the desk and pulled out a knife.
Cordelia
had called a few days back warning Buffy and Spike of Angel. She told
them to place various weapons around the house for easy reach. She
knew what Angel was capable of and didn't want to the couple to get
into that mess. Even thought the break up was messy she still cared
about the two.
Holding the knife in her hand she stepped
towards the door.
She didn't know what to do she was just scared
out of her mind when she heard footsteps walking down the hall.
Her
uncontrollable shaky hand tightened on the knife. She shut her eyes
trying to control the fear. She opened her eyes and reached for the
door. Before she got to it the door swung open.
There stood a man
in all black clothes and an evil glint in his eyes.
"Angel?"
Buffy
asked tilting her head. "Hello Buffy. Miss me?"
