As Xander and Anya made their way into Buffy's house Xander held up a white box. "I brought the cake."
"And I brought the beer." Anya stated holding up the grocery sack.
"Oh thank god. I could use some." Buffy said while taking the bag and box into the kitchen. Angel just followed behind her.
"Since when do you drink?"
"Angel, things change. I've changed. And if you don't mind I have guests to entertain." She said making her way back to the living room.
"So when's cake?" That was the first thing heard from Xander's mouth.
"Well, I guess now. Only if everybody agrees though."
"Come on everybody. Agree with it. I want cake!" Xander told everyone else.
"Okay cake it is."
"I'll help you."
"Thanks Tara."
"No problem."
As the two made their way into the kitchen, leaving everybody to decide on entertainment Tara asked, "Is everything ok?"
"Yeah, everything's great. Why?"
"It's just, you seem tense. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Well I guess I am a little tensed up."
"Is it because of me and Willow inviting Angel down here?"
"No, no. It's not that. Well okay it is but it's not the only thing."
"I dunno it's complicated. I mean first he plays this really amazing song."
"What song?"
"Amazed by Lonestar. Then there was the sex and I'm not saying it was bad, no he was actually really good. But having sex with Spike is just wrong…"
"Did you just say you had sex with Spike?"
Buffy quickly covered her mouth with her hands. "No, no, I didn't just say I had sex with Spike."
"Yes you did! You had sex with Spike!"
"Yes okay, fine I did but you have to promise you won't tell anybody."
"Of course, you know I wouldn't tell anybody. Is everything okay?"
"No, not really because when I was going to talk to him Angel showed up and then there was an argument about him being here. So no, everything is not okay."
"You should go and talk to him."
"I don't think this is the best time to tell Angel about this."
"No not Angel… Spike."
At that time Anya came walking in. "Oo what about Spike?"
"Nothing!" Both Tara and Buffy replied.
"Was there something you wanted?"
"Oh we decided on a game we can all play."
"Ok sure. What game?"
"It is called 'I've Never' and it involves a lot of alcohol."
"Count me in!" Buffy replied.
