Hi. This is my first fic so if I suck, tell me and I won't right anymore. If you like it, tell me and I will right more.

Chapter One: A perfect attraction

Buffy Summers sat in her living room reading Cosmo and sipping herbal tea. She loved her life! She had a lovely house, a loving fiancé, wonderful friends, the list was endless and she loved it.

Her fiancé; Angel Hawthorn, had proposed to her a couple of months ago and she was reading an article in the magazine about how a woman had managed to achieve the 'perfect wedding.'

"Perfect wedding" she chuckled to herself, taking another sip of tea, "I should send an article about how I have the 'perfect life'"

Her thoughts where disturbed by a knock on the door. Sighing she put her magazine and tea down on the glass coffee table and went to answer it. Her best friend: Willow Rosenberg was stood at the door holding a pamphlet and smiling.

"Hey Buffy" she said in her usual cheerful tone,

"Hey!" Buffy said, "Come in, would you like some tea?"

"Sure. I've got some great news to tell you! Oz proposed"

"Oh! Congratulations Will!" Buffy pulled the redhead in for a hug before switching on the kettle and the two of them sat on the sofa where Buffy had been sat earlier.

"So, tell me everything! I wanna know every significant detail of how it happened!"

"Okay, well it happened last night actually. I was gonna call you but Oz and I where kind of well...busy. The first clue was when he took us back to the Mexican restaurant where we had our first date. Then just after we'd finished eating he went to the bathroom and after about ten minutes I was getting kinda worried but then y'know they have that stage there where all the Mexican singers go up on?"

"Yeah"

"Well, the next thing I know he's up there with his band and they sing this really romantic song, which is weird for them but anyway, they finish the song and then Oz goes up to the microphone and says in front of all the people, 'Can you see that beautiful red haired girl over there? I brought her here tonight for a reason' then he looked right at me and said, 'Willow Rosenberg, Will you marry me?"

"Oh wow!"

"I know. So have you and Angel set a date yet?"

"Not exactly but we're hoping to get married about June time"

"My mom and dad got married in June. Oh! By the way" Willow showed Buffy the pamphlet she was holding,

"My friend Anya said that when she got married to Xander, she went to this cute little bridal shop in Santa Monica. You remember when I showed you the pictures and you said you loved the dress, it was from there"

"Really? This is great Will thank you"

"You're welcome" she looked at her watch, "Oh shoot I gotta go. I have a hair appointment in like fifteen minutes. So call me later okay?"

"Okay" Buffy said, the two of them got up and went to the door,

"Bye Willow"

"Bye"

"Hey sweetie" Buffy said as she opened the door for Angel,

"Hey" He said, swooping her into his arms for a kiss, "I missed you at work today"

"Yeah? I missed you too. Ooh! Willow and Oz are getting married!"

"I know. He told me that he was gonna propose last night"

"Oh. Well, anything interesting happen at work today?"

"Not so much. Actually I have something to ask you"

"What's up?"

"Well, y'know my younger brother; Spike? I think you've met him"

"I think so. Peroxide blonde hair?"

"That's the one. Well, anyway he got evicted today"

"Oh no"

"Yeah. He rang me today to ask me a favor but I said I'd have to check if it was okay with you first...do you mind if he comes and lives with us until he finds a new place?"

"Sure. We have a lock on our bedroom door don't we?"

"Yeah"

"Perfect"

Buffy and Angel were having dinner when they heard a car pull up outside their house,

"That'll be Spike" Angel said and Buffy swore she detected a hint of dislike in his voice when he said his sibling's name, there was a knock on the door and Angel got up to answer it.

"Angel. Sorry bout this mate I won't be here long" Buffy heard Spike's English accent,

"It's okay. Come in" She heard the front door close and the two brothers came into the dining room,

"Spike. You remember Buffy don't you?" Spike walked closer up to the petit blond and brought up her hand to kiss the back,

"How could I forget?" He said and Buffy found herself giggling like a schoolgirl, she quickly stopped when she saw the extremely annoyed look on Angel's face and proceeded to glare at Spike, who had his trademark smirk wiped across his chiselled features.

"Spike" Angel came up to his brother and placed a hand on his shoulder, pulling him away from Buffy, "You should unpack"

"Oh come on I've not been here five minutes I don't need to unpack yet" Spike took Angel's unfinished glass of red wine off the table and guzzled the whole lot down, he noticed the glares he was getting off the couple in front of him,

"Alright, alright I'll go unpack" He gave Buffy one last sexy smirk before going back upstairs.

The next morning Buffy and Angel were sat at the kitchen table when the phone rang, when Angel rushed to answer it, Buffy frowned as she heard the conversation,

"Hello this is Angel...Oh hi babe, listen I can't talk to you now Buffy's waiting in the kitchen...Yeah? Well that's great I'll come round to your apartment tonight and pick it up...I love you to, bye"

Buffy felt tears form in her eyes when he hung up the phone and came back into the kitchen. Was he really cheating on her? She decided not to ask about anything until she was more certain about what was going on.

"Shouldn't you be going to work now?" she asked, waking Angel out of a daze, 'probably thinking about her' she thought,

"What? Oh, yeah" he came over and kissed Buffy softly on the lips, "I love you" he whispered,

"Love you too" He smiled and walked out of the door, as soon as it closed she heard Spike coming down the stairs.

"Mornin' luv" he said and Buffy forced a smile, he looked at her for a second before going to the fridge and taking out a bottle of water and gulping it down,

"Angel gone to work?"

"Yeah" she said, her voice breaking slightly before turning back to the newspaper she was reading.

"Anyway I'm going out; I'll be back around four"

"Okay" Buffy said without looking up, as soon as he went out she burst into tears.

Buffy had fallen into a light sleep on the sofa when she was woken up by the sound of the front door opening, she looked at her watch, it was a couple of minutes past four, Spike was home. A couple of minutes went by before he came into the living room and sat on the sofa with her, a beer in his hand.

They watched T.V in an uncomfortable silence before Spike finally spoke up,

"Okay, it's been bothering me since this mornin'. What's wrong?" Buffy shifted in her seat,

"What? I'm fine"

"Oh so you just cry for no reason then"

"I'm not crying"

"You were trying not to this morning, and I can tell by your make up that you've been crying since then too" Buffy took a deep breath and sighed,

"I'd tell you, but I don't trust you to keep your mouth shut"

"I'll have you know I am great at keeping secrets" Buffy looked at him and saw that he was serious,

"Alright I'll tell you but don't tell anyone. Got it?"

"Fine"

"Okay. I think Angel is...is having an affair"

"What?"

"I don't know for sure but this morning I think he was on the phone to another woman" Buffy tried to hold it in but couldn't, and began to sob again. She was surprised when she felt Spike's strong arms around her, and was even more surprised at herself for not pulling away.

"I try...I really do but maybe it's not enough. Maybe I'm not sexy enough for him or something..." Spike shushed her,

"No, don't be stupid. You're beautiful, any man would be an idiot to cheat on you" Buffy practically melted at his words, sure, angel had told her she was pretty and lovely looking, but no man had ever told her she was beautiful before.

"You really think so?" she whispered, looking up into his eyes, his arms where still around her and he was stroking her hair,

"I do. You may not realise it but you're a stunner Buffy" 'what the hell are you doing you nit?' Spike thought to himself, 'coming on to your brother's fiancé is illegal in some countries!'

"Don't be silly" Buffy said, leaning closer to him,

"I'm not,"

"What else am I?" Buffy found herself asking, and cringed when he raised an eyebrow at her, but continued anyway,

"You're smart, you're sexy you're..." Spike took a deep breath as she leaned closer to him still,

"I'm what?" she whispered, still looking into his eyes,

"Perfect" Spike said and Buffy unconsciously slid her arms around his neck. As she leaned closer still, there lips brushed ever so slightly and Buffy closed her eyes, suddenly wanting him badly.

She melted as Spike began to kiss her lips softly and moaned into his mouth when the kiss was deepened. She slid onto his lap and straddled him, grinding herself into his hardness as their tongues danced with each other.

The kiss finally broke when air became an issue and Buffy gasped and pushed herself off the sofa,

"Oh my God" she said to herself, she had just totally made out with another man! Her fiancé's brother!

"Oh my God" she repeated,

"Oh Great," Spike said, sarcasm dripping from his voice,

"What?" Buffy looked up and scowled at Spike as he smirked,

"You gonna run upstairs now and pretend that that never happened?"

"I was upset and you took advantage of me! Of course I'm gonna pretend it never happened" She was so angry at him, at herself for allowing him to kiss her. Glaring at him, she ran upstairs.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Honey, are you okay?" Angel asked Buffy as they lay in bed,

"Fine" Buffy lied, "Why you ask?"

"No reason really, you just seem a little bit quiet that's all"

"Oh, well really I'm fine, I'm just gonna go and get a drink of water"

"Okay"

Buffy got out of bed and padded along the hallway. Why? Why had she kissed Spike? Oh God, what if he told someone! What if he told Angel? She didn't care what time it was, she needed to talk to him.

Taking a deep breath, she knocked lightly on the door to his bedroom, when there was no answer, she gently pushed the door opened and let herself in.

Creeping up to the bed, she noticed that Spike's top half was exposed, his pale skin almost glowing in the moonlight that was shining through a gap in the curtains. He was thinner than Angel, not in a bad way; he was also quite a bit shorter than Angel so it was a good balance. All in all Buffy had to admit he had one of the most gorgeous bodies that she had ever seen, and that was just the top half. Buffy couldn't help but imagine what...no! wait! She was not going to go down that road, not again! She was here to have a stern talk with him, that was all.

"Spike" she said, shaking him awake, he looked at her with an annoyed look played across his features as he sat up.

"What do you want luv?"

"I think we need to talk about what happened earlier" he raised his eyebrows,

"Now?" he looked at his watch, "Buffy, it's almost one O clock in the morning; can this not wait until Angel goes to work?"

"No, well, yeah I guess but I just don't trust you not to tell him"

"Gee, thanks luv"

"Spike, don't act like that"

"Act like what? Angel's my brother and it was one kiss. It meant nothing to me and nothing to you and I don't want Angel finding out either"

"Really?"

"Really. I'm not scared of him or anything but I've been on the receiving end of Angel's fist more than enough times and I have no desire to repeat the experience"

"So you're not gonna say anything?"

"I'm not. Now, I don't about you but I'm tired and I'm gonna start house hunting tomorrow so can you..." he gestured towards the door and Buffy smiled and stood up,

"Goodnight Spike" she said as she walked out of the room,

"Goodnight Buffy"
