Dinner Party

Buffy didn't get much sleep the night before and made herself get up even though she she was dragging herself to the closet. She grabbed some clothes and made her way to the bathroom to take a shower. After being clean and dressed she headed downstairs to see the gang all dressed up and ready to leave.

"Hey B!" Faith said as she finished her apple.

"Hey. Are you guys going somewhere?" Buffy asked as she started to pour some coffee in her mug.

"Yeah. Well we thought since Spike has made his move in here, that we should celebrate with a dinner party! So I told him that you're a wonderful cook and well we're off to the store now to get some stuff. Do you want to come?" Faith asked.

"Sure. A dinner party? That sounds like fun! Well let me just finish my coffee and we'll be off. Ok?" Buffy asked. She still was avoiding Spike's eyes. Her thoughts where to much on the dream she had the other night.

"Ok. Hurry up B!" Faith replied ans walked out the front door leaving Spike and Buffy alone.

"Thanks Buffy. I mean you didnt have to agree to making me dinner all," Spike added with a little smirk.

"Well it's no problem for me! Besides you should have a proper welcome party anyway!" Buffy added as she set her empty mug down and grabbed her keys a jacket and headed out the door.

The Market

Buffy was searching around for some items and avoided Spike and Faith since they where all over each other. Buffy went to the counter and started to ask the lady in french if she could have that fish over there and continued to have a nice converstion with her.

"Buffy speaks French? "Spike asked amazed at how fluent she was.

"Well since her fiance died, she was in a depresion state, and didn't go to work for a long time, and well she taught herself some French and now is fluent in it," Faith explained.

"When did her fiance die?" Spike asked a little interested.

"5 years ago. She's been mourning for him ever since and hasn't been on a date. Well it's not my place to be telling you these things but she thinks its all her fault. That's why she has to take sleeping pills. It numbs her pain," Faith added.

"Oh I'm so sorry, "Spike said and felt depressed at what he heard. Buffy was a nice girl and for something this horrible to happen to her wasn't right.

"Yeah well arn't we all!" Faith replied. Buffy finished talking to the lady in french and continued her way around the market.

"Buffy!" Faith yelled and she made her way over to where she was.

"Yeah?" Buffy asked.

"Which do you want? Green Beans or Broccoli?" Faith asked holding up the veggies.

Spike just stode there and felt sorry for the blonde. He just wanted to say how sorry he was and wanted to do something for the pain she was going threw. He stared at her and realized how beautiful she was there with her hair tired back and smile on her face as Faith and Buffy started to talk about him.

"Um well I guess green beans," Buffy added and with that she smiled not knowing why. She had a good feeling about his Spike guy and wanted to know more about him. With that thought she grabbed a bottle of wine. This should lighten the mood. Maybe I can get an idea of who this guys is. Buffy looked over at Spike who was standing there answering his cell phone. Better make it two. She grabbed another bottle and headed to the cashier to pay.

Dinner

Buffy started dinner and was mess trying to get everything ready. She usually wasn't like this, but this was a special diner party. Well it was, becuase of the guests that where coming, well a guest. She was disorganized and was afraid she was going to burn everything! Although she was worring and messing things up the food was ready in time and tasty as ever.

Before the guests arrived she set the table with her best china and wine glasses. She was so pumped that she forgot about how she looked. She quickly ran upsatirs and put some product and styled it into soft curls. She decided to wear something sleek. So she picked a nice skirt that came to her keens and pumps that matched her green shirt. She looked in the mirror and was pleased at how she looked and ran downstairs. The food was cooking away when the guest started to arrive.

Buffy answered the door and Cordy looked beautiful as ever in a black low v haulter dress and Faith looked sheek in a white sundress. Spike followed closely behind in a casual suit that made his features stand out. Buffy wasn't aware of how he was looking at her, she was little busy herself.

"You look cute B!" Faith said as she gave Buffy a kiss on the cheek and hugged her.

"It's smells so good in here," Cordy said as she put her coat and purse down.

"Thanks. Well the drinks are in the living room. I'll be with in a second. Cordy could you help me in the kitchen?" Buffy asked and she started to walk away form them.

"Sure," Cordy answered.

"Forgetting something?" Spike said waiting for her to say something to him.

"Oh yes I'm sorry! Welcome to our home! "Buffy put a little laugh in it and showed them to the living room.

"My Buffy, you have such a wonderful house! "Spike added playing along.

"Thank you! Well we don't want our dinner ruined, so ill be back in a second," Buffy said as she and Cordy go the dinner all set up.

As they entered the kitchen Buffy was a little shaky and kind of nervous to have dinner with this guy. She knew he wasn't hers, but the thought of having him made her heart beat in a way she never felt before.

"You ok Buffy? You look a little pale," Cordy said.

"No. No i'm fine! I'm just under a little stress," Buffy replied and continued stirring and then continued her way to the living room where Faith and Spike where laughing.

"No! I told that guy he was making a mistake! He didn't know what it was! You should have been there!" Spike added as Buffy and Cordy joined them.

"You guys are having fun," Buffy said as she started to pour herself a drink.

"Yeah. Spike here was just telling me a story from one of his costumers back when he started business," Faith said as she have Spike a kiss on the cheek.

"Yeah well being in the business this long you have a few stories to tell," Spike added and looked at Buffy.

The conversation went between Faith and her job to Cordy's practice and Buffy's writings. Drinks where poured and laughter was in the air. Buffy was starting to have a good time and forgot about the dinner.

"Well this has been fun but dinner's next! If you could please sit at the table I'll bring the food," Buffy ended the converstion and headed into the kitchen. She came out moments later with food and a bottle of wine.

"The food looks delicious," Spike said as they started to serve some food.

"Thanks you. Would you like some wine Spike?" Buffy asked.

"Yeah. Thanks," Spike replied and Buffy gave him a full glass.

As they sat down the conversation continued and started to change to Buffy's work to Spike.

"Hey Spike? I read in this article that you are a famous bachelor!" Cordy said starting some converstion.

"Yeah well that happens," Spike said has he took a drink of his wine.

"Yeah you where engaged to some girl," Cordy added.

"Engaged? I'm impressed that a man like you thought about settling down," Buffy added as she to took a drink of wine.

"Yeah. I think it was Emmy Rossum, no maybe it was Cameron Diaz. No that's not it," Cordy continued to talk.

"You know you could just ask him," Buffy said as she shook her head.

"Ok. Who where you engaged you?" Cordy asked.

"Me? Angelina Jolie," Spike said quietly and took it back the minute he said it.

"Really? Her? I can kind of see it. So what kind of girl was she?" Faith asked a little jealous.

"Well we meet at a party once. She was fun and had a lot of energy. I was drawn to her at once. It didn't work out so well because of her differnces in the kinda of fun," Spike continued to say.

"Well isn't that nice," Buffy added.

As they looked at each other for a while Cordy started a different conversation since this one was dry.

"Well see Buffy was engaged once," Cordy started.

Buffy stopped her eating and didn't want to talk about this anymore and gave Cordy a look and realized it was the wine that was talking.

"Sorry that was out of line," Cordy said and the room got suddenly quiet and very distant. Once dinner was over Buffy started to clean up and Cordy and Faith helped.

"Cordy what it your problem? You just don't tell everyone my past!" Buffy said as she picked up a plate she droped out of frustration.

"I'm sorry Buffy. But come on! You have to get over it sometime and well its been 5 years. It should be out," Cordy said.

"I don't want to talk about this anymore. Lets talk about something else," Buffy added as she continued to pick up the broken plate.

"So Buffy. How did you like Spike?" Faith asked.

"He's a nice guy. But what are you doing with a guy like that?" Buffy asked.

"What do you mean? A guy like that?" Faith asked.

"He doesn't have the perfect reputation of committing. I mean he owns over 10 businesses!" Buffy replied a little angry.

"I really like him B. He's nice and caring. People can change!" Faith said.

"Well as long as your happy," Buffy ended the converstion there, not wanting to argue and was too tired to think.

Faith left the room leaving Cordy and Buffy to clean. It wasn't long before she heard laughing from the other room. Buffy couldn't handle this right now and just wanted to sleep and forget this night ever happened. Once Buffy was done with the last plate she started to make her way upstairs when she heard Faith's voice.

"Buffy!" Faith called.

Buffy started to run to her voice and found Spike on the bed clutching his chest and Faith was starting to cry.

"What happned?" Buffy asked.

"I dont know. We where kissing and he started to grab his chest," Faith said.

"I'm going to have to give him mouth to mouth," Buffy said as she went down to give him air. Spike heard this and was now very pleased that he had heart problems now. As Buffy gave him mouth to mouth she felt this shock of electricity. She felt this once before with Angel but this one was stronger and it started to scare her. She knew this wasn't a real kiss but the contact made it happen. The paramedicts arived to take him to the hospital and Buffy sat there thinking about the feeling she had moments earlier.

So? See the Spuffy is there! It's taking so long for it to happen because this love will start to bloom over time. Just like real love does. So I promise Spuffy very soon! All I need is reviews! Thanks hotspike7
