Sorry if you guys thought that was the last chapter. I wouldn't end it like that. I have about 10 more chapters to go. It's still not that long of a story, but it's not that short either. I have plenty more Spuffy goodness and drama to deal with in this. Sorry if ya'll wanted Cordelia to go all bitchy and fight with Buffy, I just couldn't do it. I do actually like Cordy and I don't really like it when she's the bitch. Parker will be back though, all I'm gonna say. A little time has passed from the last chapter; I needed to get things moving. I hope you guys like it!
Chapter 11
Buffy smiled when she opened her door and let Spike in. She didn't even get any words out as his lips crushed hers in a passionate kiss. She was breathless when he finally pulled away. "Wow, we should say hello like that every day." Spike smiled as he closed her door.
"I think we do." Buffy agreed as they moved to the living room and prepared for another movie night. They've been dating for a few months now and things couldn't be better. He kept his look and the name, but he went back to being the sweet guy that he always was. He decided he didn't care all that much about being popular and started sitting with them at lunch again. Cordelia actually took the break up pretty well. What surprised everyone though is when she suddenly started to date Xander. No one could have seen that one coming. She was still pretty popular, even though she has been hanging out with them more. Willow started dating Oz, who is in a band and she's pretty happy about it. She never had a boyfriend before and she still couldn't believe that a musician would be interested in her. Everyone was just full of surprises lately. The weirdest of all would have to be about two weeks ago when Buffy's mother, Joyce started to see Giles. Buffy and Spike were beyond shocked when they walked into her house to find them in a serious make out session. Not to mention severely scarred for life. They tried not to let it bother them though and just wanted the adults to be happy. It wouldn't ruin what they had with each other. They would just appreciate it if they never had to walk in on that again, so the adults have been extra careful. Buffy and Spike are still only in the making out phase of their relationship. Buffy has had a lot of bad sexual experiences and this is the first time that she's been in a real relationship that didn't involve sex. She knew that William was a virgin and that he was probably scared of taking their relationship to the next level, so she would wait for as long as he needed. She was finally in a real relationship and she didn't want to do anything to ruin that. Buffy was resting her head on his shoulder and trying not to fall asleep as the movie ended. Spike looked at her and kissed the top of her head. "I think someone should get to bed." He whispered to her and Buffy shook her head.
"Not sleepy." She replied as she let out a yawn and he had to smile at how adorable she was.
"Look sleepy to me. Come on, pet. Up you go." He stated as he pulled her off of the couch and noticed that she wasn't really cooperating, so he then picked her up and carried her up the stairs and into her room. She didn't even protest and just rested her head against his chest. He placed her on her bed when they got to her room and covered her with the blanket. He was about to walk away, when he felt her hand on his arm.
"Stay with me." She said and all he could do was nod, even though it probably wasn't a good idea. He lay down next to her and wrapped his arms around her. She moved closer to him and rested her head back on his chest. They were both quiet, until she decided to break the silence. "Will?" She whispered and he looked at her.
"Yeah, pet?" Buffy closed her eyes before she answered.
"I love you." She whispered again and Spike smiled. He would never get tired of hearing that.
"I love you, too." He noticed that she was asleep and placed a kiss on her forehead. He then made himself more comfortable and also drifted off to sleep.
Spike walked into his house the next day with a smile on his face, which quickly vanished when he saw his uncle waiting for him. "I'm glad you decided to come home." Giles said and Spike shrugged as he ran his fingers through his hair.
"I was at Buffy's. Sorry I forgot to call, didn't think it was a big deal." Giles took his glasses off to clean them before placing them back on.
"I understand that you're not a child anymore, William. You may be 18-years-old, but that doesn't mean I don't worry about you and that you shouldn't call me when you are out all night." Spike nodded and started to feel guilty.
"You're right, I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on staying, but we ended up falling asleep after the movie. Won't happen again." Giles nodded and accepted his answer.
"I should hope not. You know I think Buffy is a lovely girl, but I don't like the idea of you being alone with her when Joyce is out of town." Giles explained.
"We didn't do anything, uncle. I promise we only slept." He replied.
"I believe you. I just want you to be careful." Giles told him and Spike nodded.
"I know what I'm doing. Think I'll go upstairs and get more rest. Didn't get much last night." Spike said as he walked to the stairs, when Giles stopped him.
"I thought you said that all you did was sleep." Spike smiled as he looked back at his uncle.
"It's hard to focus on sleeping with Buffy next to you." Giles smiled at his nephew's obvious feelings for the young woman.
"You really love her, don't you?" Spike felt a little shy at the question, but he couldn't deny it.
"More than I ever thought I could love anything. She's a bloody angel. I'm still finding it hard to believe that a gorgeous girl like her could want me, even before my change. I was so stupid to think that I could ever want anyone else. This one is it." Giles was a bit surprised and had no idea he felt that strongly for Buffy.
"Don't you think it's a bit soon to be thinking that?" He wondered and Spike shook his head, without any hesitation.
"She's my entire world, there's no way I would ever give her up. This is the one that I'm going to marry, when that time comes. I'm not in any real hurry." Giles sighed in relief.
"Well, that's good to know. I'm glad you're happy, William. You definitely deserve it." Spike gave his uncle one more smile before he went up the stairs. Giles watched him go and had to let a smile of his own form on his lips. His nephew was all grown up now. Soon he would move out, get married, and have a family of his own. Giles then took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling. "I hope you're proud of your son, my dear sister. He is really growing up to be a fine young man." Giles stated as he looked back to the stairs. He smiled again knowing that he was somewhat responsible for the way William turned out.
