*PLEASE REVIEW!!!!*

Pulling the door shut behind her, she wandered out into the living area, confused as to what just happened. She took a seat on the couch and just sat and thought about it. Why did she fall asleep in Spike's arms? Why was Spike in her bed in the first place? What happened this morning for that to happen? Her head was racing with questions when she realized she wasn't alone in the living area.
"Alex! 'Bout time you woke up. How'd you sleep?" Jet asked from the kitchen. She looked over at him, emotionless and confused as her bedroom door creaked open and Spike came out, wearing only the scrappy pants he was wearing this morning. Jet caught sight of him coming from her room and his eyes went wide as his cigarette fell from his lips.
"Morning Jet. What's for breakfast?" he asked as she scratched his head through the mass of greenish-brown locks that crowned him. Jet was totally speechless, what was this? Did they… what… how… why!? He was practically giving himself a headache.
"Spike, why were you in Alex's room?" Jet tried to ask calmly, but you could hear the tension in his voice. Spike smiled.
"Sleeping. I went out to exercise and then came back and slept with Alex." He said. He realized how wrong it sounded after he had said it.
"WHAT?!" Jet roared. Alex swore he shook the entire ship. Jet's eyes went wide in disbelief.
"Well, we slept in the same bed, but we didn't actually fuck. That would be rude." Spike said cockily with a grin. Jet's eyes narrowed and glared at Spike.
"It was no big deal Jet," Alex said interrupting Jet and Spikes quarrel, "I came out and had some hot chocolate and then Spike and I talked. After that, I wanted to take a nap and he just decided to lie down with me." Jet looked over at her.
"Oh, okay Alex." He said smiling at her. He looked back to Spike who was heading for his room.
"Damn she has you whipped." He said as he entered his room and shut the door behind him.
"That son of a…" Jet growled.
"Jet, it was nothing. We just took a nap together was all." Alex chimed in from the couch.
"Meh, well I guess it's because I don't understand him." He said with a sigh. "You want some breakfast? I got fresh eggs, bacon, sausage, and some french toast." Alex stood and smiled.
"Sure, thanks Jet." She said as she walked into the kitchen and sat at the table. He got her a plate and fixed her up some scrambled eggs and bacon as she cooked herself some french toast. She sat down and started eating as Spike's door swung open. he was still wearing the pants from earlier this morning, but he held a bunch of rolled up clothes in his arms.
"I'm taking a shower." He said as he walked away.
"Don't use all the hot water, I need to shower too!" Jet called after him. Alex swallowed her food.
"Yea, I need to shower too!" She yelled as he walked around the corner. He popped his head back around with a smile.
"You know Alex, that shower is big enough for two, it'll save water if we shower together." he said with a smile. Jet looked at him angrily as Alex blushed.
"Dammit, go get in the fucking shower asshole!" Jet said as he chucked an egg at him. Spike pulled his head back around the corner and the egg hit the wall with a huge splatter.
"Jet? What's wrong? You're really pissed off today, what's up?" Alex asked as her face returned to it's regular color.
"It's nothing. Spike is just being an idiot is all. He's playing with fire again." he said with a sigh.
"This is about him sleeping with me, isn't it?" she asked. Jet looked up at her, shocked.
"Well, sort of. It's just that he's always screwing around and never takes care of his lady friends. The only one he really cared about was Julia and he can't stand the fact that she's dead." He said rubbing his temples.
"Who's Julia?" she asked as she swallowed a piece of bacon.
"She was Spike's one and only true love, or so he thought. Remember I was telling Blade about how Vicious and spike were fighting for the same girl? She was who they were fighting for." He said somewhat telling the story.
"Really?" Alex asked, listening intently.
"Yea. Spike can't get over the fact she's dead and gone and swore he would never love another." He said washing the last of the dishes. She sat and ate, pondering what Jet had told her as Spike walked back through the living area dripping wet with a towel wrapped around his waist. His mass of puffy hair was damp and hanging in his face, sticking to his skin. He looked like a totally different person.
"The shower's open." he said as he walked into his room. As his door shut, Jet turned and took Alex's plate.
"You want to shower first? I can deal with a cold shower, its no big deal for me." he said as he washed her dish off.
"You sure?" she asked as she stood. Jet nodded. "Okay, thanks Jet." She said as she went to her room and started rummaging through drawers for clothes that day. She wanted to go out and look around so she figured she should look good. From one drawer she pulled a pair of blue jeans. From another she pulled a red skintight t-shirt. She laid them out on the bed and headed for the shower. Stopping at the closet outside the bathroom, she grabbed a towel and then went to shower. As she washed herself, all the questions she was asking herself when she woke up in Spike's arms, she began to ask herself again. And what was the deal with this Julia girl? She didn't want to pry, so she decided to just let it go. She shut off the water and wrapped herself in the large, soft towel before leaving the steamy bathroom. Quietly she tiptoed though the halls into the living area where Jet glanced up at her as she walked past and Spike's door swung open. He stopped and stared a moment as she walked past and into her room. She shut the door and began towel-drying herself when there was a knock. "WHAT?!" She screeched.
"Um, can I come in?" Spike's voice asked from outside the door.
"NO! I'm getting dressed!" she yelled.
"All the more reason to. Fine, I'll wait outside until you're finished." He said through the thick door. With an irritated sigh, she quickly dressed herself and dried her hair. With a quick spritz of hairspray, she picked up her sneakers and opened the door. Spike was lounging on the couch wearing a blue suit with a cream-colored button down shirt underneath. A tie was loosely wrapped around the collar but the shirt wasn't buttoned all the way up. The top two weren't buttoned and looked good in a sloppy way. He took one look at the blond girl and said only one word.
"Damn."
"What?" she asked as he stared at her. Spike was entranced by her beauty. Her blond hair fell like locks of golden silk, the red shirt hugged her body, and the way she stood there just emitted this sense of attitude that he absolutely couldn't ignore. "God damn it, what are you staring at?" she asked again. Spike snapped out of his trance.
"Nothing. Uh, do you want to go out and walk around for a little while? Jet's planning on leaving by about three." He said still slightly dumbfounded. Alex slowly began to become aware of his interest in her through his tone of voice. She smiled.
"Sure, let's go."
