Chapter 3

Buffy was dancing at the Bronze later that night and she was really getting into it. She attracted a group of guys who were now dancing around her. Her friends were sitting at a table and watching her, some with their mouths open. "That is a very seductive dance she's doing." Xander said which then caused his girlfriend, Anya to slap him on the head. "Ow, what was that for?" He asked as he rubbed his head.

"You're not supposed to be checking out other girls, Harris." Xander shrugged.

"I didn't mean anything by it." Anya just glared at him and turned away and Xander knew he would be asking for it later. Spike shook his head and had to smile at the couple. They were always entertaining to watch.

"Do you guys think Buffy's okay?" Willow asked. "She's never acted like that before." Spike shrugged as he looked out on the dance floor.

"She's been pretty tired lately. She probably just needs to have some fun." He said and Anya smiled as she watched Buffy.

"Yeah, also looks like she might be a little drunk." Spike looked at Anya and then back at Buffy.

"Bloody hell, weren't you lot watching her? I only stepped away for a few minutes. You know how she is when she has alcohol in her." They all didn't know what to say when Xander grabbed Buffy's glass of coke and sniffed it. He pulled his nose away when it smelled funny.

"I'm guessing that she flirted with the bartender and had him put something else in her soda. It doesn't smell right." Spike rolled his eyes. He then stood up.

"I better get her out of here before she does something she might regret." He stated as he made his way over to Buffy, trying to get through the crowd of guys. He grabbed her and turned her to look at him. "I think we should go, pet." She gave him a big smile.

"Spike!" She exclaimed as she hugged him. "Have I told you how much I love you?" Spike really wished she wouldn't say that when she was drunk. She pulled away from him. "The room is spinning." She said and he wrapped his arms around her and was about to leave when one of the guys stood in his way.

"Hey, we're not done with the girl yet." Spike rolled his eyes.

"I think you are, mate. I'm getting her out of here." The man wouldn't budge.

"Maybe she doesn't wanna go with you. We were having fun with her." He said as some of his friends laughed. Spike grew angry as he thought about this man putting his hands on Buffy. He just gave him a smile.

"I hate to do this, but you leave me no choice." Spike said as he raised his fist and punched the guy in the nose. The guy yelled as he held his nose and Spike used that to his advantage to get Buffy out of there. They got outside and Buffy started to laugh.

"That was so cool. He was a jerk anyway." Spike nodded and tried to keep walking when Buffy stopped to look at him. "You're my hero." She said and Spike had to smile at that. He just stood there as Buffy raised her hand and touched his face. He didn't know what she was doing, but he was too mesmerized to do anything about it. He closed his eyes at her touch and when he opened them again he saw her eyes staring right into his. She then started to giggle and was about to fall as he wrapped his arms around her again and continued to walk to his car. She continued to laugh. "You're very pretty." He heard her say.

"What every bloke loves to here." He mumbled as he finally got to his car. He let her in and then went to his side of the car. He got in also and headed to his house.
