Chapter 3

Buffy and Spike walked hand in hand to Giles’ apartment the next day.

She was going to tell her friends about them being together and she didn’t care what they thought. She was doing what she wanted for a change. Buffy opened the door once they got there and pulled Spike inside, never letting go of his hand when she noticed that her friends were all there.

Their eyes were immediately drawn to the hand holding.

Buffy decided to speak up before anyone else had the chance. “Guys, there’s something I need to tell you.” She gave Spike a look and then turned back to her friends. “We’re together now and that’s how things are going to be. This isn’t a spell and this isn’t something that just happened. We’ve been feeling this way for a while now and finally got up the courage to say something about it. I love all of you and I hope you can accept this, but I won’t be changing my mind if you can’t.”

Everyone remained quiet after that.

It was Xander that spoke up first. “Well, this is just great. Are you sure you wanna do this, Buff?”

Buffy rolled her eyes, figuring that Xander would be the first one to have a problem with it. “Yes, I’m sure. I know this is hard for you to accept, but I was hoping you would be supportive of my decision. I don’t need you to tell me that I’m making a mistake.”

Xander shook his head. “No, I’m fine with it. I just meant are you sure you want to do this now? Maybe you guys should wait a week.”

Buffy was really confused. “Huh?” she wondered.

Xander ran his fingers through his hair. “Well, I sort of bet Willow that you guys wouldn’t get together until next week. Man, I’m out ten bucks now.”

Willow smiled and walked over to him. “Pay up, mister.” She held her hand out.

Xander groaned as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a ten dollar bill. He handed it to Willow.

She smiled again and put the bill in her pocket. “It was a pleasure doing business with you.”

Buffy couldn’t believe what was happening. “Let me get this straight. You two made a bet that I would get with Spike? So, you’re not upset about this?”

Willow shook her head. “We just want you to be happy, Buffy. We all have seen how close you and Spike have gotten over the last few weeks. It was bound to happen eventually.”

Buffy graced her best friend with a huge smile and gave her a hug. “Thank you so much, Will. You don’t know how much this means to me.”

Willow returned the embrace.

Buffy pulled away after a few seconds.

“I think I have some idea.” Willow told her.

Buffy then went to hug Xander. “You’re really okay with this?”

Xander shrugged. “It’s your life, Buffy. Besides, I’m dating an ex-vengeance demon. I’m hardly in a position to judge.”

Anya walked out of the kitchen when she was mentioned. “Yes, I also promised him no more orgasms if he didn’t accept it.”

Xander blushed at her statement. “Thanks for that, sweetie.”

She smiled at her boyfriend. It was nice to be appreciated sometimes. “Don’t mention it.” She clearly hasn’t grasped the concept of sarcasm yet.

Buffy then looked at Giles, who has been quiet the whole time. Giles was like a father to her, his opinion was the most important. She grew worried when she saw him take off his glasses and start to clean them. He would always do that when he was nervous or upset about something.

He placed his glasses back on and looked at Buffy. “Well, I believe I owe your mother a twenty.”

Buffy sighed in relief as she went to hug him also.

Giles smiled at the gesture. “You are a young woman now, Buffy. You are old enough to make your own choices.”

Buffy started to feel tears in her eyes now as she pulled away. “Thank you,” she whispered.

He only nodded.

Buffy then turned back to Spike and was surprised that he managed to stay quiet through everything. She went over to him and grabbed his hand.

He smiled at her.

She smiled in return and looked at her friends one more time. “We’re gonna go for a walk.” She pulled Spike out of the apartment, without even waiting for anyone to say anything else.

“They’re probably going to have orgasms.” Anya claimed once they were gone.

They all let out a groan at her bluntness.

“What did I say?” she wondered, gazing at the expressions of everyone around her. Sometimes she really didn’t understand humans.

Buffy and Spike crashed into her dorm room later that night, their lips never breaking contact.

She closed the door and pushed him onto her bed. Buffy knew they should probably be taking it slow, but she couldn’t seem to form any thoughts at the moment. She immediately started to undress.

Spike just followed her lead.

Their clothes were soon laying in a pile on the floor as they got back to kissing.

Spike changed positions, so he was now on top of her. He looked into her eyes to see the feelings that she had for him shining through. He could drown in her eyes and be a happy man. He moved his lips back to hers and slowly slid into her warm heat.

Buffy gasped at the wonderful invasion and trailed her hands down his back.

Spike couldn’t remember ever feeling anything so amazing. He started to move faster inside of her and was getting even more turned on by the sounds that she was making.

“God, Spike,” she moaned.

Spike was just relieved that she wasn’t thinking about someone else. He would have been crushed if she was thinking about Peaches. He buried his head in her neck and started to spread kisses up and down the smooth skin he found there. “I love you,” he whispered in her ear and then smiled when he felt her shiver. He didn’t care if it was too soon to declare his love for her. He wanted her to know exactly how he felt. Spike didn’t even care if she said it back. She was with him now and that was all that mattered.

They were both soon brought to the release that they desperately needed.

Spike waited a few seconds before he moved off of her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to his side, so her head was now resting on his chest.

They weren’t sure about what to say next.

Buffy then looked up at him.

He was puzzled by the expression that she had on her face.

“You’ll be here when I wake up, right?” she wondered, the worry evident in her voice.

Spike couldn’t believe that she had to ask that. He then remembered that her last two lovers weren’t around in the morning. They were bloody wankers for leaving a woman like her. He smiled and gave her a tender kiss on the forehead. “I’m not going anywhere, love. Just rest now. I’ll still be here.”

Buffy sighed in relief and rested her head back on his chest.

He held her tighter against him and ran his fingers through her hair.

She finally drifted off to a peaceful sleep.

Spike just stayed up a while longer to watch her. He then placed another kiss on her forehead. “I’ll always be here,” he whispered, making himself more comfortable. He thought about everything that has happened and realized that this was it. This was how things were going to be from now on. Spike smiled as he gazed upon the girl next to him. He would have to get her a better ring now.

The End


Again I know this would never happen, but that was the point. I said it was really short, only something sweet that the show never would have given us. Well, I’ll just leave this to the imagination. I really didn’t know what else to do. Thanks to those that reviewed=)
