Okay, I just wanted to say that this will be a fluffy chapter. I hope it would be to everyone's liking. The next chapter won't be as fluffy, but I have to get things moving. This whole story basically takes place during the summer. Thanks for the reviews so far!

Chapter 5

A few weeks went by and Buffy couldn't remember ever being so happy before. Her birthday was coming up and she was dating Spike. Still in secret, but she was relieved that nothing bad has happened. Dawn has even covered for her a few times. She hasn't told him that she loved him yet, but she felt it every time she was with him. He hasn't said it either, but she knew he had to feel the same way she did. They were at the apartment that he was staying in for the summer and were busy making out on Spike's bed. Buffy pulled away when breathing became an issue. He then started to trail kisses down her neck. She moaned and held him tighter. They haven't gone any farther yet. Buffy wanted to give herself to him on her birthday. She knew she was ready and she wanted him to be her first. His hand went under her shirt and she really hoped he would be able to wait until her birthday. Spike then pulled away to see the flushed look on her face. He smiled as he kissed her lips again and Buffy was kissing him back, with just as much passion. He pulled away again and rested his head against hers. "God, I love you." He whispered and Buffy's eyes grew big as she looked at him. She was surprised that he would be the one to say it first.

"Do you mean that?" She wondered and Spike didn't even hesitate before he answered her.

"I mean it. I love you, Buffy. I felt it the moment I first saw you." She started to feel tears in her eyes as she responded.

"I love you, too. I've never felt like this before." She told him and he nodded as he caressed her cheek.

"I know what you mean." No more words needed to be said after that.

Buffy's birthday finally arrived and she was bored out of her mind. Her parents were having a party and it didn't even feel like it was for her. They invited all of their friends and Buffy hardly knew any of them. She just couldn't wait until it was over, so she could meet up with Spike. Tonight was the night that she would give herself to Spike completely. Her parents thought she was spending the night at Willow's, who would cover for her if they actually decided to call. The guests finally started to leave and Buffy couldn't be happier about that. She got everything that she would need and left her house. She met up with Spike, who was waiting for her across the street. They then got in his car and drove to the apartment.
"It's not much, but I hope you like it. Happy birthday, love." Spike said as they were sitting on the bed in his room. Buffy opened up the box that he gave her and gasped at what was inside.

"Spike, it's so beautiful." She said as she pulled out the silver, cross necklace.

"So, you like it?" Buffy turned to look at him.

"I love it." She said as she gave him a kiss on the lips. "Could you put it on me?" She asked and Spike nodded as he took the necklace from her and put it around her neck. He smiled at her.

"Beautiful," he commented and she smiled in return. She then grew nervous about what she wanted to say next.

"Spike, my parents think I'm spending the night at my friend's house." Spike nodded and had a feeling that she told her parents that, but he wasn't expecting the next thing she said. "I think I'm ready to take our relationship to the next level. I want...I want you to make love to me." She said the last part quietly and Spike felt his breath catch in his throat. "I want my first time to be with you." Spike looked into her eyes and had to make sure that it was what she really wanted.

"Are you sure, Buffy? I don't want you to think that you have to do this. There's no hurry." He said and Buffy nodded.

"I want this." Spike couldn't deny her anything as he started to kiss her lips. He laid her gently back on his bed and got on top of her. He slowly removed her clothes and she helped him with his. Spike took in the sight of the beautiful girl on his bed and still couldn't believe that she was his. She told him that she was put on the pill and he was relieved because he realized that he didn't even have any condoms. He wasn't expecting this to happen so soon. He gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"This will only hurt for a second, love." Buffy nodded and took a deep breath. He kissed her again as he slowly slid into her. He pulled away to look at her face and could see the pain that she was in. Tears started to fall from her eyes and he kissed them away. "It's okay, sweetheart. It will get better." He said as he let her adjust to him, he then started to move slowly. She closed her eyes and let out a moan. "Does it still hurt?" She opened her eyes at his question and shook her head.

"Not anymore." Spike nodded as he started to move a little faster. They were both soon brought to release and Spike then pulled out of her. She winced a little as he lay down next to her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to his side.

"You alright?" He wondered and Buffy gave him a smile.

"Yeah, that was amazing." She told him and he placed a kiss on her nose.

"You're amazing." He whispered and she blushed a little.

"Only because you make me feel amazing." It was Spike's turn to feel touched.

"I love you so much, you know that?" He told her and Buffy nodded.

"I love you, too. More than anything." He gave her a sweet smile at her declaration.

"That works out nicely then." He replied as they both got more comfortable and soon drifted off to sleep.
