The next night Buffy was getting ready to go out with Spike, Willow, and Xander. Buffy was wearing jeans with a white tank top and a jean jacket over it. Buffy asked Angel to go but he said he would be late because he had to work. Then she got lost in her thoughts about Spike he was so different the way he looked at her and the way he acted even the music he liked. The door bell interrupted her thoughts and she quickly rushed down stairs to the door her mom beat her to it and she opened it and saw Spike.
"Hi is Buffy ready to go?" Spike asked
"Hey I'm ready. Lets go" Buffy said looking at Spike
"Well I guess she's ready. Okay you guys have fun and Buffy not to late okay" Joyce said
"Yeah mom I will see you later" Buffy said rushing out the door
Buffy closed the door behind her and then she looked at Spike. 'Wow he looks amazing' she thought. He was wearing black jeans and a black t-shirt with a red shirt over it and his leather jacket. Buffy came back to reality and then she and Spike walked towards his motorcycle and Spike got on and gave a helmet to Buffy. She just looked at him while she held the helmet in her hands. He was smiling at her and then she looked between him and the helmet.
"What's wrong love? You know that goes on your head right?" Spike asked
"Yeah I know that. Its just that I never really rode on a motorcycle before" Buffy said and then looked down
"Hey just put the helmet on and hold tight. I'll keep you safe" Spike said
Buffy put the helmet on and she got on. She held on to Spike as tight as she could and then he took off down the street. Buffy did feel safe with him she had only known him for two days but he gave her that sense of comfort she was missing. Before she knew it they were at the Bronze and Spike had stop the bike and parked. He helped Buffy off and then they both walked inside. When they got inside they saw Willow and Xander sitting at the table with two other girls. They went over to the table and Spike let Buffy sit down and he stood by her and then he smiled at Willow and Xander.
"Hey Buffy good to see you again" Willow said hugging Buffy
"Hey Will its been forever. Hey Xander" Buffy said hugging Xander
"Hey Buff this is Cordelia and Anya. Anya is my girlfriend" Xander said walking to Anya
"Hi" Buffy said looking at the ground
"So Buffy is Angel coming?" Spike asked not really wanting to know
"He said he would try but he had work to do. So I don't really know" Buffy replied
"Do you want a soda?" Spike asked Buffy
"Sure" Buffy said locking eyes with Spike
"Okay I will be right back" Spike said not wanting to leave her eyes
Then Spike left to get the drinks and Buffy watched Xander and Anya dance while Willow went to find her boyfriend OZ and Cordelia was flirting with some guys. Buffy sat there waiting for Spike to come back she was thinking about a lot of things while she watched the people around her. She realized that she liked Spike and that she even liked him more than Angel and she didn't know what to do but she was happy about liking Spike.
When Spike came back he saw Buffy smiling which made him smile and then he went over to her and gave her the soda and they were just silent. They looked into eachothers eyes and it was a perfect moment. There was light music playing and Oz and Willow were dancing with Anya and Xander while Spike and Buffy just sat there.
"So what are you thinking love?" Spike asked
"Just something about Angel" Buffy said then she saw Spike get a sad look in his eyes
"Oh wondering where your boyfriend is huh?" Spike replied in an angry tone
"No I was just thinking about our relationship and how it has changed so much from the first time we met. Spike I have to tell you something okay" Buffy said looking down at the floor
"Sure what is it?" Spike asked still looking at Buffy
"I like you Spike. I mean I want to date you kind of like you. I know that I have only known you for two days but I just I felt something when we talked and I know it sounds crazy but its just how I feel" Buffy admitted then looked at Spike who was smiling at her
"I like you too Buffy. I really do in the lets be more than friends way I just thought you were happy with that idiot Angel so whatever. I know its only been two days but I feel the same way love. Its not weird" Spike said
Spike walked over to Buffy and he brought his hands up to her face and cupped her cheeks and placed a soft kiss on her lips. When he pulled away Buffy looked at him and then she smiled and then she moved closer to him and put her arms around his neck and kissed him again. The kiss was passionate and it made both of them feel different for the better and they both liked it. Angel walked into the Bronze and he looked around for Buffy then he saw her and Spike making out at the table Angel wasn't as bothered by it as he thought he would be.
But he knew that Buffy and Spike needed each other and he wasn't going to stand in the way. Angel went over to the kissing couple and stood there then cleared his throat so they would both know he was there. Spike and Buffy broke apart and the smile on her face turned to form a panicked face when she saw Angel.
"Hi Buffy Hi Spike" Angel said looking at the two
"I'm going to get a drink I'll be at the bar" Spike said heading off in the other direction
"Is he even old enough to buy alcohol?" Angel asked
"Well no but let him do what he wants. Angel I'm really really sorry." Buffy started to say
"Buffy don't apologize to me. I know you like Spike I got that idea last night at your house. I know that your happy when you talk to him but I just don't want you to be unhappy with me so I want you to do what you need to do" Angel said sternly
"We can still be friends right? I don't want to lose you all together Angel" Buffy said
"I will always be here for you Buffy okay remember that. Now go on Spike's waiting for you." Angel said pointing to Spike at the bar
Buffy and Angel said goodbye and then she hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. Buffy walked over to Spike and he put his arm around her and they both walked out of the Bronze. Buffy didn't know why she felt this way she just broke up with her boyfriend and now she was with another guy. Buffy liked the way Spike looked at her and how he made her feel when they were together she couldn't believe the night she had. That is all she thought about on the way home. Spike parked his bike and at home and then walked Buffy next door to her house. He kissed her goodnight and Buffy didn't notice but her mom was watching from the window and she saw how happy her daughter was. Joyce hadn't seen her that happy in a while it was nice to see an actual smile on her face.
Buffy walked to the door and unlocked it she walked inside and then she went into the living room and saw her mom sitting on the couch reading. Buffy went over to the couch and sat down next to her mom. The smile never leaving Buffy's face Joyce looked at her and she smiled back at her daughter.
"So did you have fun?" Joyce asked
"Yeah you know I did. It was great and I want to tell you something amazing" Buffy said excitedly
"You and Angel broke up so that you can be with Spike the guy who really makes you happy?" Joyce replied staring at Buffy
"How did you know that?" Buffy asked now pouting
"I saw you and Spike outside. So what happened?" Joyce asked
"Nothing Spike and I were talking and he said that he thought I was beautiful and that he liked me and then I told him that I liked him too. Then we kissed and Angel saw us and then Spike went to the bar to get a drink and me and Angel talked. Angel said that he understood why we had to break up and he actually did. He said that he saw it last night how into Spike I was" Buffy told Joyce
"Okay well I'm glad you're happy sweetheart but I'm pretty sure that William isn't old enough to drink." Joyce said giving a glaring look at Buffy
"I think he just got a soda mom calm down. Now I'm extremely tired so I'm going to go to bed" Buffy said standing up off the couch
"Okay goodnight. Oh and Buffy before I forget your dad has to stay a little while longer. He will be coming in five weeks that new case has him really busy" Joyce said
"Okay well then I can't wait to see daddy. I hope he's not too mad about me and Angel. Daddy loved Angel like a son it was weird at times I think daddy loved my boyfriend more than I did" Buffy said walking upstairs.
Buffy was in her room getting ready for bed as she replayed the events from tonight in her head. Her and Spike together as a couple she couldn't believe it happened so fast. All she knew is that Spike cares about her and she cares about him. Buffy laid down in bed and thought about Spike and how she hoped they would be happy together and then a little while later she peacefully fell asleep.
