` Spike flipped through the pictures of an old Sunnydale High yearbook. He was looking for Buffy's picture. He sat in the library wondering if she was wondering about him. The way she danced with him the other night had to mean something right? Finally he came to her picture. She looked so. . .hot.
"Hey Spike" Buffy said. He quickly shut the book and looked at her.
"H-hey" he said.
"Whatcha looking at" she said as she sat next to him. He looked at her. She wasn't wearing leather today. She was wearing a light blue frilly skirt that was sequined with blue shiny beads. She had on a white tank top with a blue jean jacket over that with the sleeves rolled up. Her hair was curled.
'Uh. . .just. . ." Spike tried to make an excuse.
'Oh, the yearbook, let me see" she said and took the yearbook and turned to her picture, Faith's was right afterward. "God I looked awful that day didn't I? 'No you looked amazing' he thought to himself. He couldn't believe he had a crush on her and he hadn't even known her for forty-eight hours yet.
'Um. . .no, you looked fine" he said.
"Well thank you, even though I know you're just being sweet, not that I mind though" Buffy said.
"Uh. . .hey don't you have a boyfriend or something, where was he the other night?" Spike asked.
"Oh, I asked, he said that he had too much homework" Buffy said, Spike scoffed. "What?"
"Oh nothing, it's just that. . .you know if I had a girlfriend as hot as you I'd never let her out of my sight" Spike said. Buffy smiled at that.
"He's just not into-" Buffy commenced.
"Having fun?" Spike asked, raising an eyebrow at her.
"That's what my sister said too, you sure you two aren't the twins?" Buffy smiled.
"So, how long have you two been going out, you and Riley I mean?" Spike asked.
"A year and a half. My family moved here from L.A., well my mom, Faith, our little sister Dawn and me anyway, after my parents go divorced, when I was in the eight grade. Then I started dating Parker. He seemed sweet, he acted sweet, but he wasn't, he dumped me for someone who would sleep with him" Buffy said.
"Oh so you haven't. . .?" Spike asked.
"No, god why does everyone think I'm some kind of slut?" Buffy asked.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you luv" Spike said.
"It's okay, anyway. . .god you don't care do you, why am I telling you this" Buffy chuckled.
"No, no, go on" Spike said.
"Okay, I was devastated, I thought I loved him, it was at the beginning of my sophomore year, Parker and I had been going out for two years, after that I thought I'd never get over it, then I met Riley, people say that we don't fit together, but I just. . .I like that he's sweet, I don't want to get hurt again" Buffy said.
"So, are you just dating him because you feel safe with him?" Spike asked.
"No, not exactly, I love him, I do, I just. . .yes I guess a part of me wants to keep that safeness, but I'm not using him or anything" Buffy said. "Anyway, enough about me, what's your story?"
"What makes you think I have a story pet?" Spike asked.
"Everyone has a story" Buffy said. Spike sighed. Should he share his life with her? She did with him.
"Okay" he said. "Well I moved here because my parents got divorced."
"You too huh? It sucks doesn't it?" Buffy said.
"I guess, but in some ways it's better" Spike said.
"They don't fight anymore" Buffy said.
"You can get some sleep knowing that no doors will be slamming or glasses will be breaking" Spike said.
"Everything's just. . ." Buffy said.
"Better" Spike and Buffy said at the same time. They both smiled.
"I guess we have something in common luv" Spike said.
"I guess we do" Buffy said. "So, what about you? Have any exes you regret dating?"
"A couple, Drusilla for one" Spike said.
"Drusilla? What kind of name is that" Buffy smiled.
"I thought I loved her, did actually she just. . ." Spike said.
"Just what?" Buffy asked.
"Was bleeding crazy" Spike said. Buffy smiled. He looked at her. She was beautiful. The way she smiled at him. She was like an angel. He got lost in her eyes. She had beautiful green eyes. He just stared at her. She soon got a weird look on her face.
"What?" she asked, afraid that she had something in her teeth or something.
"Uh, nothing, nothing, I just zoned out there for a moment. Look Buffy I was wondering-" he began, but Riley came up and interrupted.
"Hey Buffy" he said with that holier than thou smile.
"Riley, hey" Buffy said and kissed him. 'Sodding wanker' Spike thought. "You remember Spike right?"
"Uh yeah, sure, hey" Riley said.
"Hey mate" Spike said.
"Buffy, tonight, do you want to do something?" Riley asked. 'Say no, please say no' Spike thought.
"Sure" Buffy said. "Like what?"
"Anything, as long as I'm with you" Riley smiled. Spike rolled his eyes. God this bloke was a real pansy.
"Okay, pick me up at seven" Buffy said and got up and kissed him on the cheek. "All right I have to go, see ya Spike, bye Riley.'
"See ya" Spike said.
"Bye" Riley said and Buffy walked away. Riley stood there for a second uncomfortably before "excusing" himself and leaving. Spike sighed. God he hated that guy. He didn't even know him and he hated him. Partly because he was so boring and good. And partly because he had Buffy. He sighed and got up. He put the book back and left the library. He wished he had a friend he could talk to about his feelings for Buffy. He certainly couldn't tell any of the guys she hung out with. They were her friends, not his. He began walking down the hall and then stopped when he saw a flier for a band that read: New band member needed. Must have singing or guitar abilities. Must have the look also. We are a rock band. If you think this is for you meet us at the gym at 3:00. A band, maybe that would get Buffy to notice him. He took the flier off the wall and folded it and put it in his pocket. He would go to the auditions this afternoon and hopefully make the cut.
Three o'clock came quickly and Spike walked to the gym. He had been in a small band when he was in England called Torture Chamber. This band, Dingoes Ate my Baby seemed less punk, and more rock. Spike didn't mind the change though. He waited until it was his turn. He auditioned and then waited for the four guys, Devon, Oz, Xander and Tommy to review. He came a little late so he didn't see the people who came before him. He just hoped that they weren't as good as him.
"Okay, we have picked two people to be in the band, we need another guitarist and a singer, so, for the singing part we have chosen, Spike Giles" Devon said. Spike tried not to show much emotion. He didn't want them to think he was weird. He just nodded thankfully.
"And for the guitar part we have chosen. . .Riley Finn" Xander said. Spike's eyes widened. 'What? When did he try out!' Spike thought.
"Thanks to the rest who tried out, better luck next time" Oz said. Spike and Riley went up to the stage.
"Hey Ri, man I didn't know you had such a talent for the guitar" Devon said.
"Well I really didn't have an interest in it before, but I thought it would be fun, and I thought Buffy would like it" Riley said.
"Spike, welcome to the band man" Oz said.
"Thanks" Spike said. He looked at Riley and as usual he had that holier than thou smile on his face. Spike cringed when he saw that smile.
"We'll start practicing tomorrow at five o'clock okay fellows" Tommy said.
"Cool" Riley said, trying to sound band-ish, but it didn't sound too good coming from him.
"Fine" Spike said, coyly. He walked away. Spike went home afterward and there was a car in the driveway that he didn't recognize. He went inside and there sitting with his dad was Buffy with Faith, their mom and their sister.
"William oh good you're home, you know Buffy and Faith I presume" Giles said.
"Uh, yeah, hey" Spike said.
"Hi" Buffy smiled.
"Uh, This is Joyce Summers and Faith and Buffy's younger sister Dawn" Giles said.
"Nice to meet you both" Spike said.
"Come, sit, chat" Giles said. Spike went over and sat next to Buffy on the love seat. Faith was sitting in the laz-e-boy chair and Giles, Joyce and Dawn were on the couch. "So Joyce you were telling us why you moved to Sunnydale." Joyce began talking, but Spike didn't hear. He was leaned back in the love seat and he had his head cocked just enough so that he could look at Buffy without her noticing he was staring at her. He would hear bits and pieces of the conversation, his father telling them stories of England and it became too much for him, sitting next to Buffy that he excused himself and went to his room. He turned his stereo up so that he didn't hear anything that was going on upstairs. Soon after he heard the door open and someone come downstairs. He turned down his music and looked towards the stairs to find Buffy coming.
"Hey" she said.
"Hey, what brings you down here?" Spike asked, lighting a cigarette.
"Just wondering why you skipped out so suddenly, is something wrong? You don't mind us stopping by do you?" She asked, coming closer.
'Not at all pet, just don't like the boring small talk is all, my pop tells the same bloody stories to everyone, they get old after a while" Spike said and puffed on the cigarette.
"Yeah, same with my mom, I think that before you have kids they give you this manual that tells you, A) how to embarrass you children as much as possible, and B) how to tell the most boring stories that no one cares about but you" Buffy said. Spike chuckled. "You know, those thins will kill you, plus they turn your teeth a really gross yellow color."
"Hmm, is that right" he smirked, puffed it one more time and put it out in the tray. "There, better?"
"Much" she smiled. "I hear that you made the band, that's great."
"Yeah, I guess, your honey made it too you know" Spike said.
"Yeah I know" Buffy said, not to impressed.
"What's wrong?" he asked as she sat on his bed, he back against the wall, his against the headboard.
"I don't' know" she sighed. "It just seems like. . .Riley's only doing this to impress me, this isn't him, h-he doesn't like this sort of thing, being the band type. He'd rather-"
"Write a thousand page essays and suck up to the teach?" Spike asked. Buffy looked at him.
"No, he just. . .he's safe" Buffy said.
"Yeah, you've said that, if I share my opinion, you promise not to get mad?" Spike asked.
"Sure" Buffy said.
"You two don't fit together, you should be with someone like-" he began, but was interrupted by Faith coming down the stairs.

"Hey, is there a party going on down here I don't know about?" she asked.
"Nope, Spike and I are just-" Buffy began.
"Finished" Spike said.
"O-kay" Faith said. "Well mom, Dawn and I are leaving, you want to come with or. . ."
"Oh yeah, I have to go home and change, Riley and I are going out tonight" Buffy said and got up. "It was nice talking to you, and congrats on the band."
"Thanks" Spike said.
"See ya Spike" Faith said and she wrapped her arm around Buffy's shoulder and they walked up the stairs.
After arriving home Buffy went upstairs to change. She put on a long black dress that was strapless. She did her hair and Riley came to pick her up, promptly at seven.
"Hey, you look nice" Riley said.
"Thanks" Buffy said. He opened the car door for her and she got in. He took her to a very nice restaurant. One that he could never afford. They talked, they danced, and he took her home, kissing her goodnight, so tenderly. She walked inside the house. Her mother and Dawn were already asleep, but knowingly Faith wasn't.
"Hey B, have fun?" Faith asked. She was sitting on her bed reading a book.
"Yeah, it was nice" Buffy said and undressed and got into her pajamas.
"So what did you guys do?" Faith asked.
"We ate, we danced, that's about it, it was nice" Buffy repeated and climbed into bed, turning off her lamp and closing her eyes.
"Buffy" Faith said. This surprised Buffy. Faith never called her by her full name. Not unless she was talking about her, or she was concerned.
"What?" Buffy asked.
"Are you okay, you seem disappointed, did you think that tonight would be the night?" Faith asked.
"No" Buffy tired to cover, but her sister knew her all too well. "Yeah, kind of, I shouldn't of thought that though, when Riley makes up his mind about something, it's made up."
"Why do you want him so bad? I mean you could have pretty much any guy you wanted" Faith said.
"I don't just want sex Faith, I want someone to want me, someone who loves me, someone who I love, I just wished Riley found me desirable" Buffy said.
"I'm sure he does, he just. . .wants to wait" Faith said.
"Maybe, but I don't, I'm ready, and I just. . ." Buffy said. "I don't want to talk about it anymore all right, I'm tired, I want to go to bed."
"Okay, see you in the morning" Faith said and turned off her lamp and they went to sleep.
Spike stirred in his sleep. He was dreaming. He rolled over once, and then again.

*Spike's dream*

"Spike. . .I want you, please" Buffy begged and he kissed her furiously. She backed up towards his bed. He was surprised at her actions. "Take me Spike, I need you." He pulled her top over her head and she did the same to his. She laid on the bed waiting for him to ravage her.
"I want you too Buffy" he said. He captured her mouth in another fiery kiss and she let a low moan escape from her moth and into his. And just as he was about to devour her completely he woke.

*End of Spike's dream*

"Oh bloody hell" he groaned, wanting to fall back sleep. Wanting to see how it ended. Wanting her.
Buffy was dreaming also. A smile came over her as she curled up.
"Mmm" she said in her sleep. Someone was kissing her. Kissing her with love, with tenderness.

*Buffy's dream*

The man, whom she didn't see lifted her up to his height. He captured her lips so lovingly. After the kiss ended he planted her back on the ground. She looked up at him with lust in her eyes. she wanted him.
"Who are you? Riley?" she asked. She wanted to desperately to see his face. It had to be Riley. Who else could it be.
"Not Riley luv" a deep English accent came from the shadows. Buffy gasped at the sound of the familiar voice. And she awoke form her slumber.

*End of Buffy's dream*

"Oh my god. . .Spike?" Buffy whispered. Did she actually have a romantic dream about him. She hardly knew him. She was in love with someone else. She was in love with Riley. She sighed and laid back down, feelings of confusion and anxiety filling her soul as she tried to drift back to sleep.
