Brrr. She thought as she sat on her back porch, her mom and dad had been fighting again and she really didn't want to be in there when it was going on. She heard the shattering of glass and her mothers muffled cry. "Get the hell up woman!" Her dad screamed at the top of his lungs.

Buffy let out a whimper and finally burst into sobs as she heard her mom scream. "You ok luv? Buffy turned up her tear stricken face to look at the man who had spoken to her. Her eyes widened when she realized that it was Spike Giles the man of her dreams.

"Spike?" Buffy looked at him confused "wh…what are you doing here?"

"Well god you were cryin so I came to see if you wanted some company, but a bloke can take a hint when he is not wanted, I guess I will just…." He turned around to leave.

"NO!" Buffy yelled, a little to anxious, he looks back at her and raises an eyebrow. "I…I just need someone to stay her with me."

"Ok pet" he grinned as he made his way over next to her. He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. She heard glass shattering once more. Spike felt the hot tears begin to fall on his t-shirt and he held her tighter in his muscular arms. How can things feel so right here and yet so wrong when I am in there? She glanced at the house. Then leaned into Spike closer. She lifted her head to look into his icy blue eyes as he leaned down to kiss her, their lips were just inches apart…

"Buffy, wake up" She slowly lifted her head up, damn just when things were getting good.

"Thanks Xand, really wanted that" She said as rubbed the back of her neck.

"How are ya feelin?" Xander asked.

"Peachy with a side of keen….and possibly a splitting headache." As she rubbed her neck again.

"O please don't tell me you were dreamin about Captain Peroxide again!" Xander looked at her obviously annoyed. " Buff, he is a waste of time and a know at all jerk, he doesn't deserve you."

Buffy looked at him with eyes of adoration, Xander was like big brother to her and always was a little jealous of her crushes. Buffy didn't understand why, she wasn't exactly much to look at, she had her sunshine blonde hair back in a ponytail, her fairly large glasses, she never wore make up, and never went tanning so her skin was very pale. "So what if I did Xander, what are you jealous?" Buffy smirked

"I think he is Buff" Willow said, Buffy turned to her, Willow had been Buffy's best friend since as long as she could remember. Willow was beautiful she had nice tanned skin, long red hair, and was never seen without make-up.

"No I'm not!..I…I…am just concerned for Buffy, don't want her to go and get hurt." Xander smiled at Buffy.

"I think I can take care of myself Xander but thank you for your concern." Buffy said. She glanced over at the table straight ahead of them. There in a group were 'The Cordettes' the most popular people in school and not to mention the hottest. Buffy took a second to stare at each of them. There was Anya Jenkins, Cordelia Chase, Liam O'Conner (Angel), Drusilla and Harmony Kendall, and last but certainly not least William Giles (Spike).

Buffy stared at Spike a little while longer until Drusilla came up behind her and said Take a picture it'll last longer." And the group went away snickering. Buffy just rolled her eyes and looked back to her friends.

Xander sighed "Give it up Buffy" as she saw Spike drape his arm over Drusilla.

Buffy glared at Xander then her expression softened, "yea your right Xand, I guess Spike won't notice someone until they have a hot bod." She sighed well we'll have to see what we can't do about that….
