Buffy and Spike walked away from the table hand in hand. Buffy had a large grin on her face as Spike gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
They went around the side of the school and found a vacant park bench so they went over and sat down their hands interlocking immediately. Spike and Buffy stared at each other smiling the entire time, neither one thought that there could ever be a happier moment in their lives.
Buffy rested her head on Spike's chest as he wrapped his arm around her and gently caressed her shoulder. Soon both of their eyes were closed and they silently thanked God for how lucky they were.
They heard a gasp and opened their eyes and looked up to see Cordielia, Harmony, and Drusilla. Drusilla had a smug look on her face as if she knew all along this was going to happen the other two looked like they were about to die.
"Do you realize what this could do to your rep!" Cordelia started to scream. " We would have to kick you out of our group….aren't you embarrassed to be seen with her? Why would you give up being with us for her? Don't you understand how dire this is? You know what we will just act like this never happened and if anyone says anything we will deny it." Cordelia went to grab Spike's arm but he pulled away and stood up furious.
"You know what Cordelia there is something I have wanted to say to you from the moment I met you. You are a Bloody Bitch! You think that everyone wants to just hang out with you and no one else when really we cant bloody stand you. You see this woman…" He said pointing to Buffy. " She is greater than you will ever be, you all treat me like an object while she treats me like a person and I love her." He said on the verge of tears but he shook them away. "Now if you don't mind I am going to go away so me and Buffy can be alone."
Buffy stood up and followed him around the side of the school where no one could see them. Buffy looked at him in shock at what she had just heard. Spike turned his head down. "I'm sorry I said I love you but Buffy believe me when I say it is true God I think I have always loved you.." He said as tears started coming down both of their faces. "I was just scared, but now I am not and I will always be here for you." Spike said as he stared deep in to her emerald eyes glistening with tears.
She stared back into his Sapphire eyes and saw that every thing that he had said he had meant and she knew in that instant that she had fallen in love with him.
"Spike.." Buffy said trying to get the words out.
"Yea?" He asked
"I love you." With that Spike looked up and looked into her eyes once more and saw it there in her eyes, he crashed his lips onto hers and they became lost and the only thing left was the two of them.
