Chapter 7

Madison awoke staring up at the ceiling, the last she remembered was drinking Spike under the table. Now she had a terrible headache and couldn't remember where she was.

She was in a bed, a big bed. It had expensive silk bedding and fluffy pillows. Very comfy.

Rubbing her eyes, Madison started to climb out of the bed. She then realized she wasn't alone.

Asleep at the side of her, Spike turned, his eyes catching the sunlight.

He woke up. Madison was at the side of him, she looked spooked.

"Morning." Spike said sitting up. He had no shirt on, only pants.

"Did, we…?"

"Do anything?" spike finished off the sentence.

"Yeah, we didn't, did we?"

"Yeah." Madison looked shocked, as if she was about to cry. "We got drunk. That's it. I promise." Spike laughed slightly.

"Thank god." Madison relaxed a little now, she laid back on the bed and pulled the covers over her head.

"Oi! Get off my bed." Spike playfully said, the pair was soon both play fighting. Madison straddled Spike and pinned his arms up to the bed post. Spike soon flipped her over, their lips almost touching. Spike stroked the hair away from her face. He leaned in for a kiss whilst gently stroking her soft glowing features.

The door to Spike's room flung open. Faith stood there looking at the pair. They both jumped up and Spike tried to get a shirt on.

"Hey, Spike. Your wanted." Spike gave her an odd look. "Apparently you have a meeting today." Faith said trying to jog his memory.

"Oh, shit." Spike cursed.

"Yeah, their waiting in your office." Faith walked out leaving Spike to finish getting dressed.

"Madi, I have to go." Madison nodded. Spike flung on his dock martins and jacket and went.

"I almost kissed Spike." Madison said to herself.

Dawn opened her bedroom door, Madison was stood there.

"You rang?" Madison said in her thick Mexican accent.

"Come in."

"Wassup?" Madison asked closing the door behind her.

"I don't think Andrew loves me." Dawn blurted out.

"Okay, Dawn. Sit down." Both girls sat on the chairs in Dawn's apartment. It was big, like all the other rooms in Wolfram and Hart, the living area was painted a light blue. The curtains were a lush cream and supported by a dark mahogany pole. The room had a tall ceiling with dark brown furniture.

"Dawn, Andrew is nuts over you."

"Yeah but, he never shows it. I mean… you know." Dawn said whispering towards the end.

"You mean sex?" Madison laughed.

"It's not funny. We've never done it."

"It's okay, just talk to the guy. He maybe nervous about it." Madison put a reassuring hand on Dawn's shoulder.

"You think?"

"Yes, anyway, I think I could top yours."

"What makes you say that?" Dawn asked fixing the two of them a drink from her mini bar.

"I almost kissed Spike."

Dawn dropped everything she was doing and turned around. "What? When? How come I didn't know?"

"Relax, you're the first to know. Well expect Faith, she walked in." Dawn's mouth dropped further to the floor.

"What?"

Madison explained to Dawn how Faith walked in before the kiss happened. She also added in that she Spike ran out in a hurry. She thought that maybe she scared him off.

Spike sat in his office. He was thinking about that would've been kiss. Part of him wanted it but another part didn't, he was still getting over Buffy. How could he kiss someone else? It wasn't right or fair.

Spike held his head in his hands again, it seemed to be the only thing he was good at these days. He had lost the grant to expand on the gym and gym equipment for the slayers that was what the meeting was about. All he had been able to think about was Madison.

A knock at Spike's door disturbed his thoughts.

"Come in.2 he said, he really thought leave me alone.

Madison entered, he looked up, stunned and gazed.

"Hey." She said, her olive complexion brightening as she stood in the door way. She looked like an angel with a brilliant bright light behind her.

"Hey." Was all he could manage to say.

"How'd the meeting go?" she asked, sitting down in front of him on the corner of his desk.

"Crap. I didn't get the grant."

"It's okay; we'll find a way to get the money. And if not, we'll manage with what we have." She was always so calm.

"How is it that you are always in the right place at the right time?"

"I'm just lucky, or unlucky, depending on which way you look at it."

She said smiling, suddenly; Spike grabbed her and kissed her deeply. He pulled her onto his knee, the pairs lips locked instantly for jus a moment.

"I love you." He whispered.

A knock at his door forced Spike back to living again. He hoped it wasn't Madison, especially after the dream he had just had, he didn't want to experience de ja vu.

After several more knocks, Faith grew impatient and entered Spike's office.

"I was knocking." She was pissed.

"Yeah I heard."

Spike wasn't in the mood.

"What was that I saw with you and Madison earlier?"

"I knew that was coming."

"Then you weren't disappointed were you?"

"Yeah, well, bugger off. I don't feel like talking." Spike turned away.

"Spike, you have to talk. You love her don't you?" Faith teased.

"Sit down."

Whilst talking to Dawn. Madison had decided to take drastic measures with Spike.

Of all the people, Spike opened up to Faith, told her everything. Told her how much he loved Madison, the dreams, everything.

After talking to Faith, spike had a clear head, he knew just what to do.

Spike walked into his apartment. Madison was already there, she was taking a shower.

He laughed to himself at the sound of her humming. Whatever she was singing wasn't English, it sounded Spanish to Spike.

"Madi?" spike called out.

"I'll be a minute." An echolike voice called out from the bathroom.

"Spike will you bring me a towel?" Madison called out.

Hearing Spike open the door she turned off the water and threw back the shower curtain.

Spike's face dropped. He handed her the towel half wanting to pull her towards him and, well you know. He couldn't believe it, Madison, the girl he thought he loves, was standing in his bathroom. Naked.

She had an incredible body, Spike thought. He was disappointed when she wrapped herself in the towel.

"Thanks, was getting rather cold."

She got out of the shower and stood in front of Spike. Her crystal blue eyes spoke to him, they were so clear and light. Like looking into an ocean. Before Spike knew it, he was kissing her. Their bodies grew closer together.

"I love you so much Buffy." Spike whispered.

Madison pulled away, she was hurt.

"Buffy?" she half screamed, tears filled her eyes.

"Madi, I'm so sorry. I didn't." spike pleaded moving towards the slayer.

"Get out!" she screamed repeatedly before throwing him out. She fell to the bathroom floor crying.

Spike banged at the door, begging for her to come out.
