"Morning" Buffy smiled as she leaned closer into Spike's protective arms and kissed him. "Feeling any better?"
"110"
"Good than we can patrol tonight. I didn't like that Polgara Demon last night. Something that big and violent shouldn't have been right under our noses."
"We were kind of gone for a couple of weeks Luv, and than we got distracted by other things."
"You're right, but we need to pay more attention to our surroundings," Buffy noticed Spike picking up the phone. "Who are you calling?"
"Giles, I think he might be interested that you're starting to sound an awful lot like him."
"Very funny, I'm trying to be more mature and responsible like you two are always telling me and when I try I get laughed at."
"Luv, I agree we'll patrol tonight and see if anything else has popped up."
"Thanks"
"So did you have fun with soldier boy last night?"
"Demon Hunting with Riley isn't what I'd call fun."
"But I couldn't come along."
"It had a stake coming out of its arm. You honestly wanted to fight something that could dust you when you're still healing from the chipectemy?"
"Would have been nice to be invited."
"You're coming tonight okay. Now I left blood in the fridge and I have to get to class early."
"To talk to Riley."
"To find out what happened with the Polgara once it was in containment yeah. Oh don't tell me the big bad is jealous of a Psychology TA."
"Want to give me a good reason not to be."
"How about this," Buffy smiled as she kissed him. "We didn't let Angel or any of the Scoobies get in the way of this relationship and I'm not going to let the Initiative. We'll get through this I promise, but now I have to get to class and the sooner I go the sooner I'll be back here with you. I love you." Buffy smiled as she closed the door behind her.
"I wish I could believe that."
