Chapter 13. Is it love?
Buffy stopped kissing him and looked into his eyes.
"Spike." She said as tears filled up her eyes.
"What's with all the sadness pet?"
"Happy tears." She laughed.
"I'm glad they are happy tears and not sad tears." He smiled. "I think been though enough sad moments in our time."
"We have." She said softly. "So was it just me the reason you came back?"
"No."
Buffy looked confused.
Spike smiled." I forgot my leather jacket."
Buffy laughed.
"So I take it you want us to be together?" He asked.
"I do."
Spike knew in the long run it wouldn't work but he was too lost in her eyes to even thing about the future and just kissed her.
They walked down the street to Buffys house and walked in. They both walked into the living room and everybody looked at Spike.
"Spike?" Xander jumped out of his chair.
Spike smiled and crossed his eyes.
"Spike is back."
"For good?" Dawn asked.
"Well-" Buffy looked at Spike.
"For now." Spike smiled at them all.
"Great. That's great!" Xander smiled sarcastically.
"Xander!" Buffy looked at Xander.
"Sorry. You know how I feel about Spike."
"Well your going to have to get use to it."
"I guess I will." Xander said and sat back down.
"My jacket?" Spike turned to Buffy.
"Oh it's…Um I'll show you."
They both walked up the stairs.
"Do you think they are?" Xander asked.
"Who knows!" Willow said.
"I bet they are going to have sex." Anya cheerfully said.
Buffy and Spike walked into her bedroom, Spike saw his leather jacket slung over the back of her chair and went and picked it up.
"Funny how you miss things." He smiled.
"I'm glad you did forget it." She paused. "I had a little bit of you still with me." She said softly. "You're a changed man Spike and you're on my mind all the time…Even when you were evil I needed you in my life." She took a deep breath. "Your- I love you."
Spike swallowed and his eyes opened up and he looked at her. It was the words he had longed to hear and now she was saying them all he could think about was how he didn't want to hurt her.
He though his jacket on the bed. "All these years." He laughed. "Never thought I would ever here those words come out of your mouth."
"They did."
He breathed in. "I know I will never compare to Angel and I know you say you love me-"
"I do. You know how me and Angel are, you…Me and you can…We connect how nobody else can."
"I know." He smiled. "I understand you."
"And I understand you." She smiled.
He smiled at her and put his hand on her faced and brushed back her long blonde silky hair.
"I'm pretty tired." She whispered.
"Right, you get some shuteye."
"Okay." She smiled.
"If you want me…Well I'll be down in the basement." He smiled.
He walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, Xander was making a snack and looked up at Spike.
"Hey Spike! I think there are some tasty blood treats for you in here!" Xander smiled.
Spike looked at her and swung the fridge door open. "So there is." He smiled and walked towards the microwave and put the packet of blood in there.
"So are you and Buffy?"
Spike said nothing.
"I take that as you don't want to talk about."
"No I don't."
"So where did you go to?"
"LA."
"Run into any friends, Like Angel?"
"As a matter of fact I did." He said facing Xander. "He told me to come back to Sunnydale. He said that Buffy wanted me and needed me. I saw Tomas too he said the same."
"I'm not going to lie. And as much as I can't believe I'm going to say this…Buffy does need you in ways, you're her rock. Not like the rock in our friendship group. It's hard to explain-"
"I get it."
"And I can see myself that you have changed. I just don't want to believe it."
"I don't blame you, what I did…Me and Anya." Spike took a deep breath. "That was the old me."
He took his blood out and walked down to the basement to his bed. "Some things I missed, some I didn't." He sighed looking at the bed.
Hours went by and Spike sat up in bed humming to himself, he looked at the clock it was pretty late. He looked up at the ceiling and heard footsteps. He put on some pants and a black shirt and went up, he was hoping it might be Buffy. He walked into the kitchen from the basement and no sign of anybody he walked towards the stairs and heard Buffys bedroom door slam he took a deep breath and walked up the stairs and knocked on door.
"Come in." She whispered.
Spike walked in and shut the door. "I thought I heard somebody up."
"Yeah can't sleep."
"Same here." He sighed and sat on the end of her bed. "I been sleeping in a bloody shit hole for the last month I thought at least I could get a good night sleep, even if it was on that pull out bed."
"I know that bed is pretty old."
"Yeah it's all lumpy." He complained.
Buffy looked at him and laced her fingers though his Spike looked at her and swallowed. He leant over to her and starting kissing her passionately as she started to undress him.
When Spike woke up the next morning in her bed he looked around and she was know where to be seen, maybe because it was 10AM! She had gone to work and Spike had the house to himself. He pulled the covers off him and put on his under pants and walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. He looked in the mirror and again like the car reflection he couldn't see himself. He then thought if he was really want Buffy wanted, needed.
"Bloody hell I'm starting to sound like peaches." He laughed.
When Buffy came home after work Spike was sat watching Passions and quickly turned it off when he saw Buffy stood in the doorway of the living room.
"Passions?" Laughed Buffy.
"What?"
"A big bad ass vamp like yourself watching Passions!" Again she laughed.
Spike got up and smiled at her. "Timmy got married. It was a hell of an episode."
Buffy laughed. "So do you want to patrol tonight?"
"Yeah sure!" He shrugged his shoulders.
"Cool, I'm just going to grab a shower and have a bite to eat." She smiled and skipped up the stairs.
