Their lips were inches apart…Buffy hesitated. Spike pulled his head back to look at her. "Buffy…I understand if you don't want to kiss me…I know it is going to take awhile before you trust me and I am ok with that. But Buffy believe me, I think I might be falling in love with you…your all I can think about, you're in my head, in my dreams…Buffy to me you are everywhere." Spike looked at the shocked expression on her face and hung his head down. "I..I.. am sorry…I…I didn't mean to…" He stopped as he felt Buffy's hand under his chin as she lifted his head up.
Spike stared at her; she had tears coming down from her eyes. She then crashed her lips onto his. Letting go all of her emotions as she cried into the kiss. Spike kissed back with equal force before they had to part for a breath. Buffy looked into Spike's eyes, she opened her mouth to say something, but she was interrupted by the door being crashed open. Buffy turned around and her eyes went wide as she saw her father standing at the door. He had a beer in his hand; he took a large drink of the beer and went towards Buffy. "Get in the house." He said through gritted teeth. Buffy took one last look at Spike, fear etched across her face, before turning around and going into the house.
He said nothing to Spike; he just turned around and followed Buffy into the house. Spike felt that something wasn't right he went around to the back of the house and hid so that he could see in the kitchen were he saw Buffy sitting down at the counter. She stood up as her father came into view at the window, Spike saw Buffy slowly shrinking down as her father screamed at her. Spike saw him throw down the bottle of beer on the counter and it smashed, a part of the glass flew up and cut Buffy across the cheek. She immediately screamed and started crying harder. Spike heard her father scream, "Stop crying you filthy bitch!" Right before he hit her full force and she fell to the floor.
It took every once of strength Spike had to not run in and attack her father. He saw Buffy head upstairs and her father went into the living room. Spike looked at the tree he was hiding behind and then at the window a ways above it. Spike shrugged and started to climb up the tree to Buffy's window. As he got closer to the window he heard her crying making his own eyes brim with tears. He made his way to the window; it was open so he crawled in. He saw Buffy with her face down in her pillow. He slowly approached her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
She immediately sat straight up and turned around expecting to see her father, she relaxed when she saw it was Spike. She then started to try and cover up the large gash on her cheek. Spike pulled her hand away. "No need to hide it luv, I caught the show from the window." Spike said tears brimming his eyes as he saw the blood and cut on her cheek. "Do you have a first aid kit?" Spike asked.
"Uh…yea but it is in the bathroom." Buffy said. Spike walked out the door and creeped over to the bathroom and grabbed the first aid kit. He heard the TV on so he figured it was safe. He quickly walked over to Buffy's room and locked the door behind him. He sat next to Buffy on the bed and got to work cleaning up the cut on her cheek. She winced in pain as Spike cleaned it up.
"Sorry pet this is going to sting a bit, but we don't want you to get an infection." Spike said as he smiled at her. He then put a large band-aid over it. "There we go." Spike said as he closed the first aid kit and put it on her bedside table.
"Thank you Spike, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been here." Buffy said. She scooted over on the bed and patted the spot next to her. "Will you just stay with me tonight, I need someone…. not someone, I need you." Buffy said looking straight into his icy blue eyes as he stared into her emerald green ones.
Spike nodded and placed an arm around her waist as she laid her head on his chest. Buffy sighed and Spike could start to hear her rhythmic breathing so he guessed she was asleep. Spike knew that he was not going to get much sleep. He kissed Buffy on the top of the head and watched her as she slept….
A/N: Sorry it took a bit for me to review I have had a lot of things going on at my house. But I am going to finish this story if it is the last thing I do! (Spuffy rocks!)
