And Angel had to watch the entire time! Yes! The interaction with Spike was realistic and in character for both of them and I'm happy that Spike did get his concerns out in the open for Buffy to reassure him. I can't wait to read the next chapter, not only for how Buffy handles Angel but for Spike and Buffy being together and I'm betting showing off Spike's romantic side. Great work!

*jumps up and down like a kid on a sugar high*  Is there going to be Angel brooding?  Please tell me there will be pouting and whining!   I absolutely love how that turned out!  Running away from Angel and then declaring her love for Spike while he looked on was a perfect way to put Spike's insecurities to rest.  She chose him over Angel when Angel was actually present which is very reassuring and pretty gloat worthy.  Wish I could see the Spike gloating, but Buffy sent him away!

Lovely story- how it should have been.  Also, I appreciate the long build up to a more physical relationship.  Maybe I'm old fashioned, but that's how it should be too.

That was very nicely done.  I'm glad Angel saw for himself the way they fight together. 
Thanks.

Oh, that was just the best chapter! Can't wait for her to get rid of Angel!

I hope Buffy doesn't muck this up - I'm sick of Spike letting her jerk him round all the time
