There was silence on the other end for a moment and Spike could tell that Buffy was lost for words.

'But… you're dead.' Came her voice, sounding very unsure of herself.

'Yeah, but I'm back Buffy. I'm alive again, or at least, as alive as a vampire with a soul can be.' He tried to make their conversation a little more light-hearted than serious.

Spike could hear Buffy beginning to sob. 'Spike?' she whispered. 'Is it really you?'

'You bet luv; I want to see you again. I love you, you know that right?'

'Oh god yes Spike, I remember back in Sunnydale when you closed the Hellmouth. God, I remember our brief conversation like it only happened yesterday. I told you I loved you, but you didn't believe me. Now I have to tell you that I do love you Spike, I do.'

Spike smiled. 'I love you too Buffy, I always have and I always will.'

'Where are you?'

'I'm in L.A.' Spike replied.

'Angel's in L.A.'

'I know, I'm here with him. I got this number from him so I could call you.' Spike informed her.

'You're there… with Angel?' Buffy asked, almost as if she didn't believe him. 'But you two hate each other.'

'Hate is a very strong word luv. We just have our differences, that's all.'

'So how did you get from Sunnydale to Los Angeles?' Buffy asked.

'You remember the amulet?'

'Yeah, how could I forget. It killed you.' Buffy replied sadly.

'Not quite, luv. Two weeks after I closed the Hellmouth I turned up in the Wolfram and Hart offices, with Angel and all his people standing round staring at me. Apparently some guy named Doyle brought me back, but he turned out to be a phoney so he's gone now.'

'Okay, but how were you brought back? I don't understand.' Buffy queried.

'Well, according to Wesley, my essence was held within the amulet and was released inside Wolfram and Hart because the amulet was the property of the Senior Partners.'

'Senior Partners?' Buffy asked, clueless.

'Oh, they're some higher power that rules over this plane. Something like that.'

'You said Wesley's there?' Buffy asked. 'As in, Wesley?'

'Yeah, he's here. He's all serious and definitely not the bumbling guy you'd remember from back in Sunnydale.'

'You weren't around long enough to know him back then.' Buffy interrupted.

'Oh, you'd be surprised what I know from back then Buffy.' Spike teased. Buffy didn't respond. Spike sat in silence too, and waited for her to speak. She didn't say a word. 'Buffy?' Spike spoke to break the silence.

'Yeah? I'm still here.' Buffy replied.

'Is there anything else you want to know?'

'No, I don't think so. I can't really think of much at the moment, I'm just thinking of you and how much I miss you.'

'I thought that spot was for Angel?' Spike sneered.

'Not anymore. He's still in my heart, but my heart now belongs to you.'

'God, we're both hopeless romantics, eh?' Spike chuckled.

'We must be.' Buffy agreed.

'You wouldn't be able to come to L.A. now would you?' Spike asked cautiously.

'What, do you think I don't want to see you?'

'No, it's just I kept putting off calling you because I thought you'd hate me for what I did.' Spike answered.

'No Spike, I don't hate you. You saved the world. Sure, you went out in one of the biggest and most extravagant ways possible, but you still did a good thing and I don't hate you for that. I do hate you for not calling sooner.' Buffy replied.

'I tried, I really did. I even left to come see you but I just couldn't do it. I couldn't go through with it, thinking of how much you'd hate me or if you'd even love me like I love you.'

'God Spike, I do. Believe me when I say that I do. I'll come as soon as I can get away from Giles.'

'Oh and Buffy, please don't let on to any of your scoobies that I'm back. I don't really want everyone knowing.'

'Can I tell Faith at least? We share everything now that we're not so worried about fighting vampires.'

'Isn't she in prison?' Spike enquired.

'Nope. The Watcher's Council pulled some strings and organised for her to be put on house arrest for a couple of years. She's basically gotta stay within the premises of the Watcher's Council until June in two years time.'

'Good, she doesn't deserve prison. She's a Slayer, not a vigilante.'

'Spike, I'll come as soon as possible. I love you, and I can't wait to see you again. It's been too long.'

'I know what you mean luv; I'll be waiting here for you. I won't leave until you come.' Spike smiled and heard Buffy blow him a kiss through the phone. Then it dropped dead. The lights in the Wolfram and Hart building flickered then went off and Spike looked out the window to see it was already late in the evening.

He rushed to the doors and flew them open, seeing everyone running around in the hallways. Lorne, Gunn, Eve, Fred and Angel stood huddled just inside of Angel's office, watching all the commotion in the hallways. Spike ran up to them.

'What the hell is going on here?' he demanded.

'We don't know.' Angel answered. Harmony ran up to them and blurted out the situation to Angel.

'There's something in the building.'

Author's Note: What's in the building? No seriously, what? I don't know what I should make cause all this. Any ideas readers and reviewers? I'll be glad to write in any ideas that I like, so please feel free to review with a suggestion of what the "something" is. Otherwise, my brain's going to have to think of it.
