Chapter 8 time to talk.

Spike walked along side Buffy with his hands in his leather jacket, Buffy looked up at him then away. She was swinging her arms around and stopped before just the cemetery and rubbed her head.

"So we need to talk."

Spike stopped and turned to face Buffy. "Yeah I guess we do."

"You know you can be a different now Spike."

"I know, I am trying to."

"Things are different between us now as well,

I want you working with me again."

"I want to." He nodded.

Spike pulled his cigarettes out of his jacket pocket and lit a cigarette.

"That's good then! Glad were clear on that."

"So we better go catch the bad guys."

"Yeah."

Spike smiled and started to walk again.

"No wait!" She called out.

Spike stopped and span his head round.

"That wasn't what I wanted to talk about, that wasn't even a talk."

Spike walked up closer to Buffy.

"This is difficult for me Spike, the things you tried to do-"

He cut her off. "And I told you, they haunt me everyday." He looked down. "Just thinking of what I could have done to you." He looked back up in Buffys eyes. "Everything I do Buffy is for you! I'm going to prove to you that I'm a good person now and hope in time that you can trust me." He took a drag from his cigarette and sighed. "You're the only one thing in my life that makes sense to me, more sense now than it did. You might hate me saying this but I love you Buffy. More than you ever will know, you're the reason why I do what I do." He rubbed his forehead. "We better now catch the bad guys."

Buffy nodded and they walked into the cemetery. "I missed you, if that means anything to you."

Spike looked at Buffy. "That does mean a lot, didn't know I could be missed."

"But we had fun right?"

"I know I did."

"And now things are different we can-"

"Be friends?" He muttered

"Yeah?" She whispered.

"Me and you will never be friends, there will always be something there but for now we can try." He smiled and walked on with out Buffy into the cemetery.

Buffy watched him and could feel new feelings for him and she started to get scared and ran off. Spike looked behind him and noticed that Buffy wasn't there anymore.

"Bloody hell." He mumbled and walked off to find some ass to kick.

Buffy walked along the streets of Sunnydale scared of these knew feelings and tried to get Spike out of her head. She then stopped and thought to her self how they could never be again even that if there was still something there. She nodded to herself and walked on down the street.
