Chapter two – Another day of bliss
2 weeks later
They had managed to sell their little apartment quite quickly. It was in such good condition and there were a lot of buyers looking for an apartment like theirs. They had already bought a house in LA. Buffy had been looking before she even asked Carlo. They had bought a 3 bedroom house near the city centre so they could find work easily.
The sound of cars screeching filled the air. With the additional noise of everyone talking it made Buffy think about how quiet her little apartment in Rome was.
Buffy and Carlo walked out of the airport holding hands. A lot of their belongings where being shipped over from Italy. All they had was a big suitcase each and Buffy hoped to buy new things in LA. Carlo had a good job and had quite a bit of money, which Buffy didn’t mind at all. Even though, before they were married, she didn’t realise he had so much money. He didn’t really show it off, which was one thing that Buffy like about him. They hailed a cab to take them to their new home. The cab ride had been quiet. Buffy had been looking out of one window and Carlo the other. He seemed fascinated by all the lights, like Rome wasn’t a big enough city already.
The estate agent had left the keys underneath a flower pot like they had arranged. They hadn’t actually been round the house physically. But they had been on a virtual tour using the internet. Buffy hoped it was everything she expected it to be.
Buffy practically ran inside the house as soon as the door opened. She left her suit case at the door and Carlo closed the door behind them. The house was dark so he turned on the lights to illuminate the entrance hall. It was beautifully decorated like the pictures they saw.
“Oh my god” Buffy said with a big smile. “This is amazing!”
“Yes I know” Carlo said with a smile and went over to Buffy and put his arm around her.
The house already had some furniture in it. They walked around the house and looked at each room in detail. Everything was perfect just how they had imagined it.
After about an hour of looking around the house. Carlo decided to go have a look round the neighbourhood and Buffy decided to call willow to check in and see what was going on.
“Oh my god Will, it’s amazing!” Buffy said as she walked around her new bedroom. She was thinking about how to decorate it.
“I should come over and see it some time” willow said
“yeah you should, cause I miss you guys a lot” Buffy said.
“I know we miss you too!” willow said
Their conversation continued for about an hour when Buffy decided she was tired and should get some sleep. Willow said she would do the same and Buffy hung up the phone.
Buffy went to her new bathroom and had a quick
shower and got changed into some pj’s. She got into their temporary bed, which was a mattress on the floor and a little box as a nightstand. She wondered where her husband was. He’d been gone along time. ‘God I hope he’s not in trouble’ she thought to herself.
Buffy had been asleep for another hour before Carlo got back. He got ready for bed and watched her sleep for while then fell asleep himself.
Buffy awoke to the smell of bacon. She licked her lips a little and opened her eyes. The bright daylight was shining through a crack in the curtains. She yawned and sat up in bed and noticed that Carlo wasn’t there.
She got up out of bed and pulled on a dressing gown out of her suitcase. She walked out of the bedroom and made her way downstairs.
She walked into the kitchen to see Carlo standing by the cooker. She smiled and rubbed her eyes.
“Hi” she said sleepily.
“Oh your awake, I was going to bring this up to you” Carlo said with a smile.
Buffy smiled at him. He was the perfect husband. “ aww your sweet.” She said and went over to him. She laced her arms around his waist and hugged him. He smiled and turned his head to kiss her on the forehead then went back to cooking.
Buffy walked over to the refrigerator and looked inside. “Hey you got food” Buffy said surprised.
“Yeah “Carlo said, “that’s why I was out so late last
night. I went to get some food. I know you, if you don’t eat you get moody” he smiled.
“Hey I do not get moody” Buffy said with a smile. “Well, maybe a little”. She pulled out a carton of orange juice and poured herself a glass. “You want some?” she asked
“I’m ok thanks pet, I’ve just had a glass” Carlo said with a smile.
‘Pet’. That word rang in Buffy’s head. SPIKE . She went off into a daydream. She had forgotten about him. How he died to save the world. She loved him, well she had loved him. But she was married now, she couldn’t love him anymore. He was gone and there was nothing she could do about it.
“Here you go” Carlo said to Buffy holding out a plate with a bacon sandwich on it. “Hello …. Buffy”
“Huh oh yeah” Buffy said shaking her head a little.
“You ok?” he asked her concerned.
“Yeah I’m fine” Buffy said with a smile and took the plate off her husband. She put it on the counter and took a bite. “Yum” she said with a smile.
Carlo smiled at his wife and started to eat his own.
