SUMMER LOVE

By Spuffy

Chapter 2

**********************************

Buffy was the first one in the cafeteria the next morning. Since the cook still hadn't arrived it was cheerios for breakfast again. It wasn't long before everyone else was in the cafeteria too.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, I have a few announcements to make" Giles said as he stood up. Everyone stopped talking and moving.

"First of all, as you already know Parker won't be coming back this year, so there will be a new male counselor and he should be arriving around noon today. Please make him feel welcome," Giles said.

"What's his name?" Willow asked.

"William" Giles replied.

"What's the second of all?" Xander asked.

"Second of all what?" Giles asked.

"Well, you said first of all......blah blah blah. Then what's the second of all?" Xander asked.

"Oh yes, of course. 'Second of all' here are the new cabin assignments for this year. A lot of the same campers are coming back this year, but there are a few new ones" Giles said as he handed out the cabin assignments.

"The campers will be arriving at three o'clock tomorrow. Please be ready for them," Giles said.

A while later the girls were all gathered in Willow's cabin.

"So I wonder what this William guy is going to be like?" Cordy said.

"He better be hott. I mean it's about time we have some fresh meat around here" Faith replied.

"Hey you guys I think I'm going to go for a walk," Buffy said.

"Okay"

"Do you want me to come with?" Willow asked.

"No it's okay" Buffy replied as she walked out of the room.

It was eleven thirty and the sun was high in the sky. Buffy walked once around the lake and then for some reason she ended up in the camp parking lot.

'WOW' Buffy thought as she saw the hottest guy ever.

"You wouldn't happen to know what cabin I'm in?" William asked. 'God she's beautiful' he thought.

"Are you William?" Buffy asked. 'Look at those blue eyes' she thought.

"Ya, but call me Spike" Spike replied.

"Well then, Spike, I believe you're in cabin 8" Buffy replied.

"Thanks" Spike replied "And what might I ask is your name?" Spike asked.

"Buffy, Buffy Summers" Buffy replied.

"Do you want some help with your things? I could show you where your cabin is" Buffy asked.

"I can think of one thing that I could use your help with" Spike replied with a smirk.

"What's tha....." Buffy started to say, but stopped when she realized what he meant. Buffy blushed.

"I mean, I would love your help" Spike said.

Buffy helped Spike carry his bags to his cabin.

"So where are you from?" Buffy asked.

"England" Spike replied "What about you?" he asked.

"California" Buffy replied.

"Have you been a counselor here for a long time?" Spike asked.

"A few years" Buffy replied "Giles is my uncle"

"Oh" Spike said.

They heard the door open and they both looked up.

"Good William you're here and Buffy you know that you're not aloud to be in the boys cabins" Giles said.

"Sorry Giles, I was just helping Spike with his stuff" Buffy was careful not to say his 'things' again.

"I appreciate you helping him, but still you know the rules" Giles replied.

"Sorry, I'll leave" Buffy said as she got up and walked out of the room.

"Bye, Luv" Spike said.

"Bye" Buffy replied.

***********************************

"Oh my god" Willow cried as Buffy finished telling them about Spike.

"I know, he's ssssssssooooooooooo cute" Buffy said.

"And my dad caught you in his cabin?" Faith asked.

Buffy nodded.

"He has the bluest eyes ever," Buffy said.

"It looks like the virgin might not be a virgin at the end of this summer" Cordy said.

"CORDY" Buffy yelled.

All four girls burst out laughing.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in" Willow called. Giles opened the door.

"Buffy I need to talk to you" Giles said. He seemed really upset.

"Sure" Buffy said as she followed him out of the room.

"Giles, what's wrong?" Buffy asked.

"Buffy, there was an accident" Giles said.

The breath got caught in Buffy's throat.

"What happened? Is everyone okay? Who was in the accident?" Buffy asked.

"It was your friend, Mackenzie" Giles said.

"Oh my god" Buffy said "Is she okay? I have to go home and see her"

"You can't" Giles replied.

"She needs me. I have to go home, to be with her," Buffy said.

"Buffy, she was in a car with her boyfriend, they got hit on an over pass. The car was knocked onto the highway. A car on the highway hit them head on" Giles said.

"But she's okay right?" Buffy demanded.

Giles didn't replied.

"BUT SHE OKAY RIGHT?" Buffy yelled.

"She lost too much blood" Giles replied "I'm sorry Buffy, but she didn't make it"

Buffy replied reply she ran away. She ran until she didn't think her legs could take her any further. She sat on the edge of the lake with her feet in the water.

She couldn't breath; it felt like there was a knife in her stomach. Kenzie was gone. It couldn't be true. Giles was lying. He was playing some horribly unfunny trick.

"Buffy" Spike called.

"Hi" Buffy replied.

"Can I join you?" Spike asked.

"Sure" Buffy replied.

"I heard about what happen and I'm really sorry" Spike said.

Buffy didn't know why but when she saw Spike things didn't seem as bad.

"I don't know if it helps or not, but I lose my best friend was I was little" Spike said.

"Ya, it does help to know that there are other people out there that this has happen to" Buffy replied "What happen to your friend?" she asked.

"It was during the summer and my friend was a really athletic guy. He went for a swim one afternoon after he just gone for a run. It was a really hot day and when he dove into the water he passed out, went straight to the bottom" Spike started to sob at the end.

"I'm sorry" Buffy replied.

Spike looked over at Buffy and noticed that she was shivering.

"God, you're frozen" Spike said as he took off his coat and rapped it around Buffy.

"Thanks" Buffy replied.

"So, I never did ask, where are you from?" Buffy asked.

"England" Spike replied.

"That's what I thought. You know, because of the accent" Buffy replied.

"So how did you meet your friend Mackenzie?" Spike asked.

"She moved in next door, when I was in grade six" Buffy said.

"Were you two really close friends?" Spike asked.

"When she first moved in we were inseparable, it was like we were joined at the hip" Buffy said "But I guess for the last few years we've been drifting apart"

"Just because you weren't as close as you were at first it doesn't mean that you still weren't good friends," Spike said.

"I know, I'm going to miss her so much" Buffy said.

"Do you want some advice from someone who's already been through this?" Spike asked.

"Yes" Buffy replied.

"It's okay to be sad, It's okay to miss her, It's okay to cry, but don't let this take over your life. Think about it what would Mackenzie want you to be doing right now?" Spike said.

"You want to know what Kenzie would want me to be doing right this second?" Buffy said as she moved closer to Spike.

"What's that?" Spike asked as Buffy still got closer and closer to him.

Buffy was now so close that Spike could feel her warm breath on his lips. Spike decided to finish what Buffy had started. He pressed his lips to hers. She opened her mouth to give him entry and their tongues slowly started to explore each other's mouths.
