Oh god.. such an amazing chapter, really did not want it to end!

so for starters, you had me crying at the beginning because it was just that goddam cute!

and then i started worrying about the end of the story again cos i hate the idea of it finishing, which btw, you pretty please have to start writing another story after this one cos i know its gonna finish eventually, and you're like my favourite author so id be so devs if i didnt get my regular update from one of your oh-so-amazing stories.

and... where was i? oh yeah, then i just got angry cos the chapter finished and i was like pulling my hair out cos all i wanted to do was read more and i was like ahhhhh! omg the frustration! like shit, i cant believe the suspense can get me so hyped up LOL.

and now im thinking i reaaaaaally should be studying right now cos i have huge assignments due like all this week, but your stories are just soooo amazing that i cant help myself :) hehehehehehe..

PLEEEAAAASSSEEEEEEE UPDATE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON? kay? okay. sweet.
xxxxxxxx

Hee...I really like hearing that. ;)

Sorry about making you cry! But at the same time I'm glad it just made you feel something. That's always a bonus in my book. ;)

Haha, you worry too much, gorgeous. I can tell you it's going to be about 30 chapter long, that's my estimation. I'm currently writing chapter 29, if you're curious. ;) And you just made my day, saying I'm your favourite! :D That makes me want to squish you to death with hugs. I have started a new story but I don't even know when I'm going with it. But I'm sure I'll come up with something once I'm done focusing on this fic. Don't think I could live long without reviews. lol

LMAO!!! Were you drinking coffee, hyper lady? ;) I totally get you though because it makes me completely agitated when I read a fic I like and have to wait for an update. It's a bitch! lol

Oh yeah, tell me about it. Assignments are the nightmare of every student. I handed in one today and one is up tomorrow. Someone should slay them, don't you think?!? *g*

Haha, it's a done deal. ;) I promise more very soon, as in either tomorrow or on Friday. Thank you for being your usual darling self!!! :D *smoochies*

OK, it's now official, this is now my favourite chapter so far!!! :) I loved Buffy kissing Spike after he admits that he does love her and the description of Spike being "confused and dizzy and absolutely clueless as to what he should do next" was beautiful in its simplicity.
 
“I don’t understand. Why? Why would you love me?” - Probably one of the most painful things anyone could hear the person they love say! I can understand why Spike would be so ticked off at his "selfish bastard of a Grandsire" considering he would be the most guilty of making her feel so inadequate and unlovable. And I adored Spike's response of "And if there’s any man stupid enough to not realise then I say… their loss.” Isn't he just the most perfect man!!! :)
 
I loved the description of Spike behaving like the "perfect gentleman", he can come and help me get undressed any day!! ") And that scene where they're laying on the bed had me going all gooey inside with all the sweet kissing of different body parts and shy confessions! I especially liked Buffy's "I trust you" - one of the most important things in any relationship!!!
 
Hurray!!! Spike finally recovered his precious DeSoto!! He must be a very happy vamp! He's got his girl, his "baby" and his leather duster!! All is right in Spike's world! :)
 
Buffy's revelation of "She didn’t want him to leave" nearly broke my heart. :( How many women in the world have felt like this when the man they love has to leave for one reason or another? And poor Buffy must feel like if Spike leaves now she'll never see him again!! The way you described how "she had come to need him, to want him by her side, always making with the innuendos and naughty touching, smiling in a way that made her heart jump in her chest. She had come to crave the things he made her feel, talking to him and just being close enough to touch him" had me looking for my Spike pillow to cuddle (hey, if I can't have the real thing I can pretend can't I?!). :)
 
My absolutely favourite part in this chapter had to be Spike stopping the car to dance with Buffy! That guy is so sweet you wouldn't need chocolate in your life if you had him, except, of course, in the situation where you would be adding chocolate to certain parts of his anatomy!! ") I totally melted when Spike reveals to Buffy that his strongest desire since his dream was to "Just have a dance with you. Your body against mine, bathing me in your scent, your skin at my fingertips". What girl could resist such a statement!!
 
The desperation felt by both Buffy and Spike as they got closer to Sunnydale was wonderfully written and the description of Buffy clutching "at the back of his T-shirt before letting him go" was extremely powerful in its imagery!
 
And then we have the lovely car scene at the end!! Buffy was quite revealing with her comment about her friends not noticing her having been missing for a few days! You'd think that being such *close* and *good* friends she would think they would have at least called her to make sure she was OK. Clearly, Buffy either doesn't have much faith in her friends or she has an extremely low self-esteem!!

Spike's comment about "painting each other's nails" had me in stitches!! That vamp has watched too many 70's and 80's movies!!! And then his remark of "I’d be hot for you even if your tits got all saggy" nearly had me dying of laughter, with Buffy's revenge of touching him quite seductively in his rather sensitive area being the icing on the cake!!! And having Buffy's plan backfire on her was just brilliant, especially since it was due to Spike's "sexy growling noises" which would set any girl off into a deep swoon!!! Spike's self-restraint was admirable and how he stopped himself from crashing his car I'll never know!! I can only imagine his disappointment when Buffy took her hand away, although I'm sure he'll get her back for it (much to Buffy's delight and enjoyment I'm sure!!). ")
 
I look forward to reading the next chapter to see how things will develop between our two lovely blondes once they arrive back at Sunnydale (unless there's an unexpected and very hot diversion on the way!!) and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that in either case they'll find a wonderful secluded spot perfect for hours of enjoyment of the loud and enthusiastic variety!! ")

Please update soon as your story is one of the highlights of my day every time I discover a new chapter!! :)
It is? Wooo! :D I am massively tickled by that!
 
I’ve always thought that for being a strong fighter and champion, Buffy was insecure as a woman. I mean, to deal with Angel turning evil and saying all that stuff to her, that had to have messed with her head. Especially considering it was her first time. So here comes Spike to tell her she is worth loving and just how incredible she really is. :) So yes, he is the most perfect man. ;)
 
Haha… he can make it his career! :D Undressing women and taking care of them when drunk/hung over. At this point they trust each other, which as you said, is very important in a relationship. As important as passion.
 
Spike now has all his goodies! :D He is indeed one happy vamp.
 
I didn’t mean to break you heart. Sorry! :( Buffy is falling hard for him so the idea of another man leaving would be just too much. But we know Spike wouldn’t do that. He wouldn’t get two miles away from Sunnydale before he’d had to turn it around and blast back in. We know he can’t stay away. Not even he supposedly hates her. ;) Oooh, Spike pillow!! Can I have one of those?? :D
 
Hee… I very much enjoyed writing that romantic part. :) What can I say? I’m sappy. And look who’s naughty?? ;) Now you went and planted the idea of licking chocolate off Spike’s skin into my mind. *swoons*
 
Thank you!!!! *blushes* How did you know I love compliments? ;) They make my heart all tingly.
 
Such a great observation! I put her doubts about Scoobies not missing her on purpose. After high school, they pretty much started to drift apart, especially in S4. So it was really about that, pretty much.
 
Hahaha… maybe he wished he and Buffy would paint each other’s nails? ;) His could use a new coating right about now.  I’m SO happy you laughed at that line!! But Buffy’s plan did backfire on her, didn’t it? She forgot to take into account Spike’s response would very much get her hot in return, not to mention the feel of his body under her questing hands. ;)
 
There’s definitely coming home part coming up and confrontations are going to be inevitable. I just hope you’ll like it! I tried to write it all as in character as I possibly could so we’ll see. :) And of course, some good old Spuffy loving is coming (pun intended) soon as well.
 
Awww, that makes me so happy!! :) Thank you so much for always being so awesome!!! I really appreciate it. :)
