Moving On: Unmade Descisions
by Rougue_Slayer
A/N: Enjoy. Please review

You can do this, Buffy thought. Just do not panic.

Buffy raised her hand to knock on the door when it was opened for her by none other than Spike.

"That is so creepy." was the first thing that came out of her mouth.

"Hello to you too,luv." Spike said softly, smiling slightly.

"Hey," Buffy was finding it very hard to keep eye contact.
"Um...I'm thinking we should talk." She started to play with her hands. Forget maling eyecontact, she was finding tit hard to talk.

"Might be a good idea since you left so fast the last tome we attempted that."

"Yeah, well I was kind of confused. Last time you...
y-you were dead and you left me and I--" Buffy just couldn't tale it. She started sobbing right there in Spike's doorway, unaware of the stares she was getting as employees walked down the hall.

"Sshhh, luv. It's alright. Come inside. Let'd sit down and talk."

Buffy nodded greatfully at Spike. "I'm sorry for breaking down like this, but I just-I don't know what to do. You and Angel really messed me up.

"Well sorry if me coming back from the dead complicated things a bit for you."

"No-Well yea, But I'm just really confused."

"Then let me clear things up for you. Spike placed his hand on his former lover' back and brought his other hand to her face. He stroked it gently, amazed at the softness of her skin. Buffy's insides tingled as his hands touched her.

"Spike, I don't think-"

"Luv do me a favor," he interuppted."Stop thinking."
He then pused up against her and kissed her hard and full on the mouth. She moaned slightly and returned the kiss. She yearned to feel something other than the cold, harsh world they all lived in.

Just when things were getting to a point neither of them was ready for, she pulled away abruptly.

"Spike I can't do this to Angel."

"What do you mean you can't do this to Angel? All last year we were all over each other and now the ponce is back in the mix and...and...why do you do this to me Slayer?"

"I'm sorry." The Lonley Slayer left felling even more confused and lost than ever before.

"Angel."

Angel looked up from the book he was reading. He didn't even see Buffy walk in.

"Hey. Did you talk to Dawn?"

"Yeahabout that. Thank you for calling her. I really needed to talk to someone. A should have called her myself. But I'm glad you called her. It really means something to me. I appreciate it."

"Dawn helped you. I just realized you needed someone. That's all."

"No. It was more than that. You're always watching out for me even though I give you hell. Why?"

"Buffy, you I'll always love you. Something like this is just another way of showing it."

Buffy looked into Angel's soft, brown eyes and a small voice in the back of her head realized something that the rest of Buffy didn't. It saw that Angel needed her. More than Spike.

"I love you too," She looked at him and smiled.

"We're gonna figure all of this out. Eventually.

"I hope so."

Buffy and Angel looked at eachother with sad eyes. They had so much to say, yet saying it would never be enough, There needed to be some action. But not now. Soon, but not now. First some answers.

"Angel how did you get ris of the curse?"

A/N: Don't ya just love cliffhangers?
