Buffy stood at the bathroom mirror with a towel wrapped around her brushing her hair. The bath with Spike had been nice. Just what she had needed after a long night of patroling. Lately he had been doing all kinds of little things for her and she loved him for it. Wait, did she just think that she loved Spike? She couldn't love Spike, he was a vampire! Ok ok Angel had been a vampire but he was differant he had a soul.The only thing Spike had was the damn chip the initiative had shoved into his brain. That was the whole reason he was acting the way he was, becasue of the chip.
The annoying little voice in the back of her mind told her that the chip had nothing to do with his behaviour. The only thing it did was keep him from harming humans. And besides, Angel was only good because the soul made him want to do good. On his own he was a monster. Spike was acting the way he was on his own with out a soul. That made him a hell of a lot differant than Angel. She shook her head to shut the little voice up. She didn't need thoughts of Angel to confuse her even more.
Spike's actions towards her lately had her confused. When he first came to Sunnydale he had hated her with a passion and had tried to kill her numerous times. But now he said he loved her. The thing that had her even more stumped was that she believed him. There was just something about the way he looked at her that made her believe he actually loved her. Spike was in love with her and there was nothing she could do about it. She just had to accept it. The thing that had her really going crazy trying to figure out was, that no matter how hard she tried to deny it,she was in love with him too.
