Chapter 15: Broken Umbrellas and Stares
Stirring the little umbrella stick in her drink, she stood in a dazed look. Her eyes instinctively narrowed as her lips placed slowly together letting out a sigh. Thoughts of yesterday grew into her mind, and throughout the morning today, all she could do was avoid him by staying in her room acting as if she was still sleeping. She even stood in the shower longer than she normally would do, just so she wouldn't catch a glimpse of him. 'To think, that insufferable, conniving, bad excuse of a bad boy could try and force me to say-' she stop her track of thoughts. She knew what she thought wasn't true. But all she tried to do was to act like they weren't real. But deep down, all she can do was-
"Buffy!" A voice interrupted her thoughts.
Buffy suddenly shot up as her little drink umbrella broke into two as she slumped her shoulders to see Willow. "Hey Wills." A smiled try to creep upon her lips but all she could do is pout slightly.
Willow sat next to Buffy and looked at her raising an eyebrow. "Bad day?" She asked.
Buffy bit her bottom lip slightly and placed her hands onto her lap "How did you notice?"
Willow pointed to Buffy's drink. "You didn't take one sip of your drink and your umbrella thingy is broken in two." As she said that she looked Buffy intently in the eyes. "What's wrong Buffster?"
Buffy finally took a sip to her drink and stared at it again. "Nothing Wills, just a bad day."
Willow nodded her head. "Okay, I understand you don't want to talk about it."
Buffy sighed and looked at Willow. "Willow, I'm sorry, okay?" She saw Willow look at her confused. "The way I've been lately, it's just isn't me." She looked down at her hands that fell upon her lap and shook her head. "Just a lot of things have been happening, and I just hate the outcome of it all."
Willow patted Buffy lightly on the back and gave her a reassuring smile. "I think you won't be thinking like that for too long."
Buffy looked back up at Willow and gave her a weird look. "What is that suppose to mean?"
Willow's head turn to the stage and Buffy eyes followed.
There stood Spike, with a microphone in front of him staring right at her.
Buffy felt as if the world was in slow motion. All she could see were his lips moving slowly as the first thing that came out of his mouth was-
"This is for her."
She blinked out of her trance as she heard the guitar began to play. She took a deep breath and looked right at Spike.
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
Buffy smirked remembering those words she had read.
He was always there to help her
She always belong to someone else
I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door
I've had you for so many times but somehow I want more
Spike closed his eyes and opened them as he looked at Buffy. He felt as if it was only him and her there all alone, just the two of them.
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved...
Tap on my window
Knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
Buffy smiled a little and gazed at Spike who seemed to be staring at her all this time.
I know I tend to get so insecure
Doesn't matter anymore...
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want...
Buffy noticing Spike only staring at her, she began to see people glancing her way, as she let a smirk fall upon her face and she didn't care at all.
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved...
I know where you hide
Along in your car
No other things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye
Means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls, yeah
Spike strummed his guitar slowly and bite onto his bottom lip softly. His blue eyes sparkled as he looked at Buffy's beautiful smile. He loved it.
Tap on my window
Knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful...
Buffy got out of her trance and realization began to come over her. Her lips parted as her eyes began to widen. 'No...it can't be...'
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye...
As Spike's words began to sink into her. She looked back at him as the last words repeated over.
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye...
All she could do was put a smile on her face and let out a light laugh. She began to realize something and the only words that came out of her mouth.
"I'm in love with Spike."
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye...
