So, is Buffy going to end up having to save Spike from Cleo-the-Brute? Good story.

I like the Buffy-logic in this one: you had sex with me a bunch of times so you should get me a bunch of towels. Yes. He lives in a mansion, for Pete's sake. Just because he's a cold-blooded killer doesn't mean he shouldn't get his girl some towels. And ugh! the whole toothbrush thing? Don't even want to think about it.

uh oh...that could be bad...ominous ending to the chapter...poor spike, didn't know what he was getting himself into, did he? lol...

Haha, "on a Need To Be Kept Completely In The Dark Basis". So Xander-appropriate.

Also, this made me giggle maniacally, and that's always weird when you're all alone:

Buffy and Xander crept closer to the New Age Meditation and Happy Feelings Worship Center, hugging the late afternoon shadows. Buffy stepped with care as they approached the building, placing her boots so as not to rustle leaves or make other noises that might alert the vampires inside.

Xander tripped over a stick and crashed into a steel garbage can.

But it's not just about the funnies -- the story has me hooked too. I'm dying to see what happens next.

Strong and horny, that's our guy! A bit all over the place too! Definitely not thinking things through, Fun!

Hey Char, great chapter. I'm loving this so far, question is, how far can Buffy keep the relationship on the sly?

spike been enjoying this too much. someone is going to mess it up. very good read, thank you.

Buffy and Spike are just too funny when they are together. And for him to keep calling her 'wifey' just makes me laugh. Great plan on getting rid of the minions. Loved the chapter.

lol, no, my bday is next month - you used it for the journal entry last chapter ^.^ (*sigh* and just realized this week i won't get a tat this year because of my rash)

And wonder how mad Spike'll be!

Wow what an amazing story hope you update fast

"Okay. I did. Come back to bed."

Giggle. Vintage Spike. Admits it, but just bulldozes on to what *he* wants.

Loved the Xander/Buffy interaction, too.

But I sense that some serious trouble is a brewin' *bites fingernails, waits for update!*

Oh I wonder what Cleotus is going to do.

loved it.
