Chapter 4. Old flames

The next morning Tom walked down to the basement and threw a packet of blood onto Spikes chest. Spike woke up with a startle and looked up at Tom who was stood there with his arms crossed.
Spike sighed. "What do you want?"

"Delivering breakfast. That's only if you didn't eat last night." Tom said with an attitude.

"I had some onion things from the Bronze. No blood mate." Spike said with a fake smile. "Where's Buffy?"

"Up stairs, getting ready."

"Right then. Well I think I'll grab a shower."

"Your home is in the basement."

"This pace stinks already, I don't think I want to add to the smell list."

Tom said nothing.

"Mind if you buggar off now?"

Tom turned around and walked up the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Morning." Willow smiled.

"Morning." Tom answered and sat down.

"So you fed Spike?"

"Yeah Buffy asked me to."

"Speak of the devil." Willow said. Buffy had walked into the kitchen.

"Hey." She said and poured out some cereal for herself.

"Did Dawn get off okay?" Willow asked.

"Yup, Xander just came and picked her up."

"Well I gotta get to college. See ya." Willow said and left the room.

"Did you give Spike that blood?" Buffy said with a mouthful of cereal.

"Yeah." Tom answered.

Just then Spike walked though the basement door.

"Morning." Buffy said and smiled at him.

"Morning." He said softly to her. "I'm just off to have a shower."

"Sure." She smiled and Spike walked away.

Tom looked at Both at them and saw that there could still be a connection between them.

"So you two where just friends?" He asked her.

"What? Yeah…Sort of."

"Looks like you were more than that."

"What?" She said confused.

"I'm not stupid Buffy, something happened between you, even a fool could figure it out."

"Its past, whatever happened doesn't matter anymore. I'm helping Spike be a good person now."

"Okay." He got up and kissed her. "I'm off to work."

"Work? I thought you didn't work on Tuesdays?"

"Extra money." He smiled and walked out.

Fifteen minutes later Buffy walked up stairs to go to her room she bumped into Spike had just a towel wrapped around him and he was drying his hair with another one.

"Oh god I'm sorry-"

"It's okay. It's my fault I didn't think you come up…"

"Where's your clothes?"

"In the bathroom I just went into your room if I could find any spray."

Buffy looked at him.

"Toms body spray."

"Oh right yeah sorry." She laughed.

"Again. It's okay." He smiled.

"I have to go to work soon, but we could patrol tonight?"

"Sure." He smiled and walked into the bathroom and shut the door.

Buffy looked at the closed bathroom door and looked away in sadness and walked into her room.

That night Buffy and Spike were just on there way out to patrol and Tom walked in the front door.

"Hey where you two off to?" He asked.

"Patrolling." Buffy said

"Oh."

"Why did you want to come?" She asked.

"Nah its okay it's been a hard day at work."

"Okay, I'll see you later then." She kissed him and Spike looked away.

"Bye." Tom smiled.

Buffy and Spike walked down the dark streets of Sunnydale in silence looking around.

"Full moon." Spike said looking up at the sky.

"So it is."

"Sorry I'm just trying to make conversion."

"I know, it is still a bit hard to talk to you."

"I understand."

"Where do you go?"

"Hum?"

"To get your soul."

"Otherside of the world. Seeked out a legend went though three trials and I passed them all, so he gave me back my soul."

"And your chip came out?"

"I guess." He shrugged his shoulders. "I only found out after I hit a African man."

"After you got it, where did you go?"

"Places, Places to be alone. Things were hard they still are, but not as hard as they were and I'm grateful you are helping me Buffy."

"I believe in you."

He stopped walking and looked at her and swallowed. "Never thought I would here those words come out of your mouth." He whispered and carried on walking.

"That was before you had a soul, you have changed how you use to be. Wow you use to love to be."

"Funny what you do for love."

Buffy didn't answer.

"Anyway how are things with you and Tomas?"

"Fine. I think he is a bit annoyed with the fact I have a vampire living with me."

"Well looks like he will have to get use to it."

"Spike."

Spike stopped and looked at Buffy.

"Yeah?"

"Wanna go for a quick drink at the bronze?"

"What?"

"Do you-"

"No, no I know what you said. Why?"

"I don't know because I like to have a drink, plus there will be vamps there."

"Yeah okay."
