PROPOSITION

Buffy closed her eyes and sat in front of her laptop computer waiting for the words to flow from her mind, to her finger tips, and to her computer.

"His arms wrapped around her" Buffy began with a smile, typing as she spoke to the empty room. "Causing her heartbeat to quicken slightly. He always seemed to have that effect on her." She stopped, paused as she reread what she'd just written and deleted it.

"This story is crap" she groaned to herself. She had set the whole day aside to write at lease one chapter and so far nothing.Why was this so hard? She was creative and full of ideas…only not right now. All she could think about was the great after date kiss she'd almost had with Spike that had been interrupted by Dawn's cry of pain as she twisted her ankle somehow.

"Okay" she reprimanded herself. "This is getting ridiculous. Just write something. Something good. Something captivating. Something not about Spike and how hot he is and how unbelievably sweet and smart and funny and…Off topic." She rubbed her eyes. "Let's try this again. Um…it was a cold crisp night as Elizabeth walked into the most popular club in town, the Bronze." She stopped once again. This was all too familiar but for some reason her hands continued to type even without her narration.

"The smoke was dense, the music loud, and the mob of people were restlessly dancing, free from all burdens of the world. They seemed lost in the quick beat and fast tempo.

Elizabeth walked in with her friends completely unaware of the fact that the man she'd been waiting for all her life was there. The man that would change her world was just feet away with some friends."

Buffy was enticed. She couldn't stop writing. She wrote about meeting Dawn and about Willow only she changed there names. In reference to Spike, she called him William. It was weird, writing about herself. She was familiar with the character and therefore didn't have to really search for the personalities and such. She was comfortable with them and she knew that that was something she could easily portray to her audience.

A knock sounded on her door. Disgruntle, she walked over and opened it only to be faced with those amazing blue eyes of the man she'd been thinking about all day. "Hello pet" he said smoothly.

"Spike" she said surprised.

"Are you gonna invite me in or should we just stay here?" he asked after a moment. She blushed and moved aside causing him to smile. He loved getting under her skin.

"So what brings you to my humble abode?" Buffy rushed over to the computer and closed the screen.

"Well…" He began nervously as he crossed and uncrossed his arms. "I was wondering, that is if you wouldn't mind. I mean…" he sighed. "Do you wanna go out with me sometime? Without Dawn that is."

Buffy went from shocked to happy. She was temporarily at a loss for words. "I-I'd love to."

"Really? You're not just saying that?" he sounded genuinely relieved.

She nodded with a smile. "Yeah, I'd like that."

"Well, good. How's tonight sound?"

Buffy pretended to think about it. "You lucked out. I'm free tonight." And most other nights actually she silently added.

"Great! See you then." He walked over to her door and opened it but stopped in the doorway. "I'll pick you up at around eight okay?"

Buffy nodded again. "Perfect."

He flashed her one last grin before he left. Looks like Elizabeth is going on a date she smiled to herself.
