"What?" asked Buffy innocently.
"What the hell are you doing?" yelled Spike. "Are you drunk? Cause you almost let slip to your friends"
"So?" she asked.
"You know what? I used to think I had you sussed slayer, but you've surprised me today more than you have in my entire life" said Spike until he thought of something. "Unless…"
"Unless what?" asked Buffy intrigued.
"No, it's impossible" he sighed.
"What?"
"Unless you do love me, but we both know that's not true"
"According to who? My friends?" she asked.
"Surprisingly no". He silently damned her as he prepared for what he was about to do. 'Not again' he thought.
Spike:
They say around the way you've asked for me
There's even talk about you wanting me
I must admit that's what I wanna hear
But that's just talk until you take me there
If it's true don't leave me all alone out here
Wondering if you're ever going to take me there
Tell me what your feeling cause I need to know
Girl you gotta let me know which way to go
Cause I need to know, I need to know
Tell me baby girl cause I need to know
I need to know, I need to know
Tell me baby girl cause I need to know
My every thought is of this being true
It's getting harder not to think of you
Girl I'm exactly where I want to be
The only things I need you here with me
If it's true don't leave me all alone out here
Wondering if you're ever going to take me there
Tell me what your feeling cause I need to know
Girl you gotta let me know which way to go
Cause I need to know, I need to know
Tell me baby girl cause I need to know
I need to know, I need to know
Tell me baby girl cause I need to know
"I need to know Buffy" he sighed, glancing at the others as they walked into the room. "I mean, I know you don't love me, but is there any chance that you might someday?" he asked her.
Buffy looked at his innocent face and couldn't help but laugh a little at the irony. Spike broke down; he really thought she might for a minute. 'Stupid git' he thought. 'Of course she doesn't love you, and she never will either'.
"Well, at least you didn't run away this time" sighed Spike as he turned to head for the door.
