love buffy being able to admit she wanted him to kiss her ( and being confused.) and the scoobies to the rescue. everyone should have such egocentric friends. very good read, thank you.

Aaaaw -- talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face! Though Buffy might learn something from it, especially when her 'friends' start interfering! Can't wait for more.

*Indignant Spike fan marches into room, slams door behind her, and glares at author. "Willow better not start sticking her stubby little nose into Spike and Buffy's relationship! I won't stand for it!" Mature reader creeps into room behind Spike fan and begins whispering in their ear. A heated conversation in whispers continues for a moment, and then mature reader waves reassuringly at cowering author, and leaves the room. Spike fan scuffs toe along floor. "And yeah, it was a good chapter. I suppose." Begins to leave room. "But you tell that Willow..." Is dragged the rest of the way out of the room by mature reader, who holds the door closed while addressing author* Excellent chappie, and I loved the scene between Spike and Buffy AFTER the kiss; the adult discussion that happened, Spike being wise and mature enough to deal with the situation in a good way; time travel and rewriting of S6 is definitely required after reading this story!!! Update again soon, please!!! *Door begins shaking and shuddering as Spike fan pushes on it in an attempt to reenter the room* Please!!!

Continuing to love it- please update soon!

If Willow had concerns about the amount of time Buffy was spending with Spike, as if it was any of her business, she should bring her concerns to Buffy, not make a note to go behind her back.

Ugh, wonder how long the two can hold out. I'm clinging to your every word. Can't wait for more!

You know that is how he really felt in S6, willing to do and be anything she needed. He merely lost track of reading her signals and it all went downhill from there because she wasn't capable of the relationship. THIS Buffy is in a healthier place.

I am worried about nosey Nellie Willow with her phone call plan. They had a LOT of nerve dictating who she could be with (and they really did). I'd NEVER treat a friend that way even if I thought she was making a terrible mistake.

Still loving this. Good angst, especially poor Spike! Love Buffy's slamme doors and indignation.

This is progressing wonderfully. I definitely like this Spike and Buffy. Ah...what could have been!! **kicks Joss in butt for millionth time**

I'd review more but the review feature here disappears on me so I can'r post. I am always reading though.

It was the right thing.

And Willow should butt the hell out.
