Alone With Him Part 1

Buffy sat impatiently in the waiting room awaiting the doctor's news on Spike's condition. Faith was next to her sleeping in the chair and resting her head on her shoulder resting peacefully. Buffy glanced up at the clock and started to get very annoyed, it was already midnight. She started to drift off to sleep when a doctor woke them up.

"Excuse me miss," A tall man whispered gently shaking Buffy on the shoulder.

Buffy awoke immediately and looked at the man. He was pretty tall and quiet handsome. She was too caught up looking at him to realize what he was saying.

"Are you Buffy? Buffy Summers?" The man said again.

"Oh yeah, that's me," Buffy replied.

"Hi I'm Dr. Finn," he took out his hand to shake her's.

"Oh yes that's right, the new doctor I believe," Buffy replied.

"Yeah that would be me. So the reason I woke you up was to let you know of your boyfriends condition," Dr. Finn said.

"Dr. Finn I'm sorry but he's not my boyfriend," Buffy said.

"Oh I see. Sorry for the mistake. Oh and Ms. Summer's please call me Riley. I feel so old when people call me Dr. Finn," he stated and started to chuckle.

"Alright Riley it is," she said smiling at him. Faith started to stir and opened her eyes.

"How long have I been sleeping?" Faith asked looking up to see a gorgeous man.

"About an hour," Buffy replied.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Faith whispered in Buffy's ear.

"Total hottie over there," Faith added in her ear.

Buffy blushed a little and continued to talk with Riley. She didn't realize that while he was talking to her she was staring. She started to blush when he realized this, and continued their conversation.

"Well Buffy it seems that Spike will be fine. The heart attack earlier was because to high stress probably from the extra work he's been putting on. He's state is better now and he can walk and will be perfectly fine. Although, to be safe he will need to staying indoors and work as little as he can. I'm fully aware that he's staying here for the summer until he goes back to New York for work. He's already told me about this. He also informed me that he's living with you until then." Riley started.

"So we need him on rest for at least a week," Riley finished.

Buffy thought about this and suddenly realized that Faith was going to see her parents in Sunnydale and Cordy was going on a trip to Florida. That meant that she would be all alone with Spike in her house for a full 2 weeks. This is not good, I'm trying to avoid him remember? What am I supposed to do with him for a least a week? I do not want to baby-sit Spike!

"Sure. Well Faith and Cordy will be gone on vacation but I'll be home so I guess that wont be a problem," Buffy said. What's wrong with me? You don't want to baby-sit Spike! Why did I just agree to do that? Why?

"Well Buffy if you need anything here's my card," Riley said slipping it in her hand.

Buffy took a look at the card and smiled. House number too huh? She smiled and said goodbye to Riley and took the girls with her back home to get a good nights sleep.

The Morning After

Buffy was on her way to the hospital with Faith to go and pick up Spike. They had already called him that morning and he said not to worry that his assistant was picking him up. But Buffy insisted that she should do it making an excuse that she was going out anyway.

Once they got to the hospital Spike was already out there ready to be picked up. Once he got in the car he had a huge smile on his face.

"What?" Buffy asked a little harsh.

"Nothing, just thinking about the night I got my heart attack," Spike said tilting his head to the side.

Buffy blushed at this knowing what he was talking about. Sure it really wasn't a real kiss and yeah she was giving him CPR and trying to save his life, but still. She didn't know why she got that spark and why it had to be then and there. She was a little weird about it. Not everyday to people have sparks flying when they're giving someone CPR.

"So love, 2 whole weeks with me," he smirked.

"Yeah I guess so. I wonder what we'll do." Or what we'll do to each other. Buffy smiled and looked at Spike.

"Well I have to be in a god damn bed for a week so I guess we'll have to use our imagination." Spike replied.

The way Spike said imagination made shivers run up her spine. Faith the entire time was looking at the two in amazement. True Spike was flirting with Buffy and she could tell they liked each other. She didn't really mind though, once she got back from Sunnydale she was planning on dumping him anyway.

"So Faith when are you leaving for Sunnydale?" Spike asked.

The Next Day

"Faith hurry up! We're going to miss our planes!" Cordy yelled from the top of the stairs.

"I'm coming! Hold on a second!" Faith yelled back.

In Buffy's bedroom she looked at the clock that read 4:50.Buffy groaned and flipped over to try and get some more sleep besides the fact there was yelling going on. Finally after 15 minutes they where gone. Gone? Not good. That means it's just me and Spike in this house. Buffy started to shutter and got out of bed realizing that she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep.

She made her way downstairs rubbing her eyes and trying to find the coffee seeing that it was still dark outside. After fixing a cup of coffee the sun was starting to rise so she went outside on the deck and looked at the sunrise. She heard the sliding glass door open and found Spike.

"I'm sorry did I wake you?" Buffy asked.

"No love, don't worry. The two birds this morning did that all on there own," Spike laughed and sat down next to Buffy. He looked at her smiled. She was still beautiful even without makeup and her hair all messy.

"Would you like some coffee?" Buffy offered.

"Yeah sure. But I'll go get it," Spike said and he got up and made his way to the kitchen.

Buffy continued to look at the sunrise and started to think about what to do that day. She took out Riley's business card and looked at it carefully. Maybe I should start dating again. She was too caught up in thought to notice Spike looking at her.

"So I see the doctor gave you his number," Spike said with a little jealousy in his voice.

"Yeah, he seems like a nice guy and was more interested in me as a person rather than looks. I don't know. I want to date again, but the past is just to complicated," Buffy replied with sadness in her voice.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Spike asked.

"No. I don't think I'm ready for that yet," Buffy replied looking down at the ground.

They sat there like that for the longest time until the phone started to ring. Spike got up from his chair and answered the phone. Buffy could tell it was his work from the tone in his voice. She sighed and waited for him to get back. Before he started another conversation Buffy sat up and went inside saying she had a long day ahead of her with work.

"Buffy before you go in I'm having people come to the house today. Since I have to stay indoors and I can't go to work I have to bring my work here. If I make any noise and is distracting you in anyway I'll make them leave," Spike said.

"Oh well I guess that's ok," No it's not ok.

She went upstairs to take a shower and get ready for the day. She has to write a report for her boss anyway and wasn't looking forward to going back to work but she had too. Buffy loved the work that she did. Ever since she was little she wanted to write. Vogue was something she enjoyed but now that she was 25 the glam life of writing was starting to get boring. Buffy always dreamed to writing a book someday. She worked on it most of the time, and it reflected her life 5 years ago. Her job was simple, mostly because they only did one major project a month which meant she had the freedom of living in California and faxed most of her work in. She only visited New York once a month to get things done before the final print of the magazine went on stands.

Buffy put on some comfy clothes and started to type on her computer. She was so tired and started to rub her eyes. She put her computer screen down remembering that Spike was in the house. She got up and headed downstairs to try and get some energy by eating. One she was downstairs she heard cars outside. She looked outside to see chaos. There where dozens of cars outside and probably dozens of more people. They all seemed to be here for Spike.

"You must be Buffy," A tall blonde woman said putting her hand out.

"Yeah that's me. Why are there so many cars out here?" Buffy asked shaking the girls hand.

"Well Spike I'm afraid has many dealing matters to take care of. We heard about his bed rest and well we came down here to help him out," the blonde replied.

"That's great I guess. So how long are you going to be here for?" Buffy asked a little curious.

"Oh about a few hours I'm sure. We need to make sure he has everything before we go back to New York," She finished.

Buffy just nodded and turned around to walk back upstairs. The phone started to ring, again. Spike strolled in and found Buffy.

"Buffy I see you met my assistant Rebecca," Spike said.

"Yes I did. Spike you know I agreed to have these people here this morning its just that I have lots of work to do. I don't mean to be mean its just that they're making some noise and well its rather distracting," Buffy couldn't believe she just said that. She never did something like that. She would always let people do what they wanted even though she wasn't ok with it.

"No problem love, they'll be gone in less than an hour. I'm sorry if your work is behind," Spike turned and ordered Rebecca to more things along.

"Thank you," Buffy smiled and started upstairs.

"You know Buffy to make it up to you would you like to join me for dinner tonight?" Spike asked.

Did he just ask me to dinner? Oh my god. What am I going to say?

"Spike I thought you're not allowed to leave the house," Buffy said.

"I'm not, but maybe tonight here for dinner. Not as a date more as getting to know each other better. Please love consider it," Spike smiled hoping she would say yes.

He said just to know each other better. So it's not a date right?

"I'll consider it. If I come downstairs today or not for dinner then you'll know," Buffy smiled and walked upstairs to continue her work.

So love it? Hate it? Let me know!

Sparks are flying! Well I'm currently writing the other chapter now and if I see reviews it will be updated ASAP. So review!

Thanks,
