Chapter 5

Sunnydale - The Bronze

Buffy wasn't sure she made the right decision, bringing Spike along. He had on, instead of his all black look, a dark blue shirt and his usual black pants. He also wasn't wearing his duster, so, to Buffy, that just made him look even sexier than he already was. If that's even possible. She thought as she sat down at a table with him, Willow, Xander and Dawn. A slow song came on and she just knew he was going to ask her to dance soon.

"I'm going to get a drink. Anybody want anything?" Xander asked. He took drink orders and went to the bar to get them. Spike stood up and turned to Buffy.

"Care to dance, luv?" He asked her holding out his hand to her. She looked at Dawn who gave her a 'GO! You know you want to' look. She turned back to Spike and stood up.

"Sure, why not." She took his hand and let him lead her out onto the dance floor. She put her arms around his neck while he put his hands on her hips.

Xander returned with their drinks and looked around for the missing two.

"Where'd Spike and Buffy go?" He asked handing Dawn her Coke.

"Over there, and don't even think about going and breaking them up." Willow told him as his mouth gaped.

Buffy was moving closer to Spike with every sway of their hips, until her body finally found his and they melted together. She brought her head down and laid it on his chest and he wrapped his arms around her waist. She closed her eyes and breathed in his sent and lifted her head back up to look in his eyes. He gave her a lopsided smirk and tightened his hold on her. God, doesn't his know what that smirk does to me? She decided it was time for her to make a move. She pulled his head down and captured his lips with hers in a semi-passionate kiss.

"What is she doing? Has she completely lost it?" Xander asked standing up.

"Sit down Xander." Willow said pulling him back down. "You are not messing up the rest of her night. If she wants to kiss Spike, let her kiss Spike." She took a sip of her drink and watched him put on a pout.

Spike pulled away from Buffy, who looked at him confused.

"Your friends are watching. Don't you care?" He asked looking over at the table where they sat. He noted that Xander was obviously pouting.

"No. Should I?" He leaned back down and kissed her harder and more passionately. "Spike." She said breaking away from him. "If we keep going like that, we won't be able to stop. And personally, I don't want all these people having a free porn show. Especially not Dawn." She told him, breathing heavily. He smiled and kissed her forehead.

"It's looks like our drinks are ready. Let's go and join your friends, shall we?" he took her hand and led her back to the table. Dawn was grinning wildly. "Dawn wipe that stupid grin off your face. You look like a maniac." Spike told the youngest Summers girl. She took her drink and finished it off.

"Want another one? Good. I'll go get it." Xander said getting up and leaving the table before Dawn could answer.

"I'll go talk to him." Buffy said. She got up and walked over to the bar where Xander was sitting and sat down next to him.

"Buffy what are you doing? Have you completely forgotten what he tried to do?" Xander asked calmly as he turned to look at her.

"No Xander, I haven't. But he knew what he was doing was wrong and he stopped himself. He felt bad enough about it to go away and come back with a soul. He's won back my trust and he's really trying hard to win back yours. Give him one more chance. I have." She didn't move her eyes away from his as they sat there in silence. He finally turned away and sighed.

"Alright, I'll give him another chance. But did you really have to kiss him in front of me? I mean come on Buff.ew?" He grabbed Dawns drink and walked back to the table leaving Buffy laughing at the bar. She shook her head and followed him back. "Here you go Dawn." Xander sat down and handed her her soda. "You know, since it is summer vacation, I think we should go on vacation. Of course that all depends on how well the potentials do tonight." He suggested.

"Oh yeah? Where to? LA?" Spike asked as Buffy sat back down next to him and laced her fingers through his.

"Yeah, maybe we'll run into Neala and Branna. I can't wait to show Branna how good I've gotten with the sword." Dawn said excitedly.

"I wonder if they told Angel yet. I wish I was there to see the look on his face if they did tell them." Willow put in. Spike laughed as they image of a shocked Angel filled his mind.

"Yeah, that would have been funny, wouldn't it?" He said between laughs.

"You know, a vacation doesn't sound so bad. I think we should do it. We'll go to LA and see if we can find Neala and Branna. And even if we don't we can always stay with Angel. He does live in a hotel after all." Buffy told them. They all, even Spike, nodded in agreement. "Good we'll leave right after sunset tomorrow. Willow when we get home, call Cordelia and let her know we're coming, but tell her not to tell Angel. What he doesn't know wouldn't kill him."
