Spike woke to the feeling of someone stirring against him. He looked down and saw Buffy, worry and distress marring her beautiful features. Suddenly she creamed "NO", and bolted up in bed next to Spike.
Spike moved over and grabbed her hugging her to his body. "Luv, it's okay. Shh… everything will be okay." He whispered soothingly as her body was wracked with sobs.
Finally she stopped crying and pulled away. "Sorry." She whispered, wiping the tears from her face.
"No problem luv. Wanna talk about it?" He asked her.
"Just a replay of the day I sent Angel to hell." She said softly. Spike remained silent, not sure of what to say or do.
Buffy looked at the bedside clock and jumped. "Shit." She yelled as she leapt out of the bed.
"What is it luv?" Spike asked.
"Work. My shift starts in five minutes." She said running toward the bathroom. "You can stay here. The tv works, and during my lunch break I'll bring you some blood from the butchers… if you want." She told him as she combed her hair.
"No thanks. I'll eat someone later." He told her. I hate that pigs blood shit.
"Spike." She said softly coming out of the bathroom. I must be crazy. How about we make a deal." He just looked up at her. "I've read about renewable sources. If you stop killing, I'll be your renewable source." She said hopefully. After last night she REALLY didn't want to kill him, but she didn't want him to kill either.
Spike just looked at her. "Are you sure luv?"
"Well no biting. I'll container it, but yeah."
"You really are a different kind of slayer aren't ya?"
"What do you mean?'
"You have friends and family who know about your secret. You dated a vamp and now you're offering to be a renewable source for a master vamp."
"Oh, well what do you say?"
"Alright luv."
"Good, now go back to sleep if you want. I'll be back in five hours. Bye." She said grabbing her jacket and keys.
