What I Like About You

Chapter 21 - Goodbye

While everyone was working Spike and I sat in my room. I loved how I didn't have to work and Spike obviously liked it too. I haven't talked with Faith since before the incident and I still had no idea what she could have been up to. It didn't bother me at all, yet I am still curious.

Spike and I sat on my bed; with his hands tangled in my hair he was on top kissing. Fully clothed, he had one leg between mine with his other on the side. We were completely wrapped up in each other, our lips never leaving the others. Spike's hands were roaming all over my body and mine over his. Surprisingly a knock came to the door. Spike jumped off me so quickly we were both surprised about how fast he had moved. The door opened to reveal an unfamiliar staff member that I had never seen around before.

Spike tried to look stern he pointed his finger towards me, "...and never do it again."

I just mocked his tone, "Yes sir."

The lady started to talk to me. Since I had never seen her before, I didn't know her name.

"You're Buffy Summers, correct?" she asked as she looked down to the clipboard in her right hand.

"I'm here to tell you that you've been released." My eyes widened just as much as Spike's.

"What?" I asked completely confused.

"Someone named..." She took another look down at the clipboard then continued. "Faith Wilkins confessed to the murder so you're free." she said with a smile.

I honestly didn't know how to react to this. I mean yes something bad happened but something wonderful came out in return. Spike, our baby, and I were happy that Faith had taken the fall to help me out but where did that leave me? I had no apartment. Faith most likely sold before she confessed. I also won't be so close to Spike. I mean what if he finds someone else why I'm not here? What if we lose touch? I just really don't want anything like that to happen. I was in love with him and I didn't want to leave the comfort that had grown with this place.

"You're going to need to pack, you can leave today." The lady told me as she snapped me out of the thoughts with some of the big questions I really needed answered.

I just simply nodded, the lady left not realizing that Spike didn't leave with her. I had no emotion on my face as I just sat staring into space. He came to me and sat next to me on the bed. He gently and slowly brought his hand to my back while he tried to look into my eyes. I lifted my head and looked at him. Those blue eyes of his could melt away all your problems.

"You're fee, Luv. What's the matter?" he asked as he saw the fear, happiness, and confusion in my eyes.
"I... I just don't know if I want to be." I said as I rested my head on his chest.

I sat on my bed with my suitcase on my lap. Glory was on the right of me and Spike on the left. Darla was sitting behind me has she hugged me.

"We are going to miss you." Darla said as she hugged me again.
"I'll miss you guys too." I said, placing my hand over Darla's as she hugged me again.

"We'll definitely miss you, Buffy." Glory said with a smile that we rarely see on Glory.

The two left to leave Spike and me alone. After they went through the door. Spike turned to me.

"God, I love you so much." he said leaning his forehead against mine.

"I love you too." I said gently capturing his lips with mine. This kiss was slow, caressing and gentle.I hated it.

It was basically him saying 'goodbye'. He pulled away and pulled out a â€slip of paper from his pocket. He had recently put his number on it.

"Here, this is my cell number. Call me tonight after you get back. OK?"

I nodded and took the paper from him. I licked my lips. I loved how he tasted like tobacco. Usually this disgusted me but with him it didn't taste so bad.

I was led down the hall by one of the cops. Before I knew what hit me I was passing Faith. She stopped.

"Faith." I said with a smile. We hugged then Faith handed me a pair of keys.

"What's this?" I asked confused. The key for the apartment, which is paid up for the next 6 months and the key to my car. "I gave her a hug.

"I got in for only 10 years." I smiled sympathetically.
"I love you, Faith."
"Love you too, B."

When I got home I dropped all my bags and looked around nothing was different. I quickly walked over to the phone and brought it to my ear till I heard a dial tone then I called Spike's cell phone.
"The person you are calling is busy at the moment. Please try again later."
After that I just sat on the couch
