Spike was sitting in Angel’s office as he and Angel went over a new case. “I think we need to go in, right before their next feeding,” Angel said, pushing the file aside.
“Whatever you say. I need sleep. It’s been a long day,” Spike said, rubbing his eyes.
Angel stood up just as Harmony came in. “There’s somewhere here to see you and believe me, I don’t wanna make her angry,” she said.
“Tell her, to make an appointment,” Angel said, sighing heavily.
“Why? So you can keep more things from me?” A woman said from the door way. Spike’s jaw dropped as he stared at her. There was Buffy in black pants and a teal shirt. “How long?”
“3 months,” Angel said, as Buffy came in and Harmony left.
“Angel! You knew how I felt and you didn’t call me?!” Buffy flared.
“Buffy, we’re still working through a few things. We still don’t know why he’s back,” Angel said, trying to reason with her.
“Angel, it’s not important right now. I just wanna talk to him,” she said, finally looking at Spike.
“Yeah. Spike, lock up when you’re done,” he said, leaving.
Buffy turned and looked at Spike with tears in her eyes. “Spike,” she whispered.
“Buffy,” Spike said, as he went to her. He took her in his arms and Buffy clung to him with all her might. Her tears finally flowed. “I missed you.”
“I know. I missed you, too,” Spike said, rocking her. “Come on. I’ll take you up to my apartment.”
Upstairs, Buffy took a quick glance around his apartment before looking at Spike.
“You alright, Luv?” Spike asked, as he turned on the light.
Buffy hugged him again. “I’m okay now. It’s been so hard with out you,” she said, burying her face in the side of her neck.
“I know. I missed you so much,” he said, feeling Buffy relax in his arms. “You wanna take a shower before you go to sleep?” He asked.
“Alone or with you?” Buffy teased, looking up at him.
“Shower alone, sleep next to me if you want,” Spike said, kissing her head. “I’ll find you something to wear.”
Buffy finally let go of him and went into the bathroom.
About 15 minutes later, Buffy came out of the shower with wet hair and in Spike’s clothes. She went over and put her arms around his waist.
Spike turned and wrapped his arms around her. “Ready to get some sleep?”
“If that offer to sleep next to you is still open,” Buffy said, yawning.
Spike smiled. “Always,” he said.
Buffy and Spike crawled into bed and Buffy snuggled up against him. “I love you,” she whispered.
“Buffy,” he said, softly. “It’s not that I didn’t believe you, I just didn’t want you to feel like you had to say that.”
Buffy lifted her head and kissed him softly. “Lets not worry about the past anymore,” she said.
“I love you, Buffy,” Spike said.
She curled up against him and he held her tightly. Buffy rested her cheek against his chest and slipped into a very peaceful sleep.
In the morning, when Buffy woke, Spike was already awake.
Buffy kissed him. “Morning,” she whispered
“Morning,” Spike said. “What do we do now?”
“Its up to Angel. I’ll stay if you can’t leave,” she said. “Um.. Were you ever gunna call me?”
“Actually, I wasn’t entirely sure if you would be happy,” Spike said.
“As you can tell, I’m thrilled and if you ever leave me again, I’ll hurt you,” Buffy said, looking up at him.
“I’ll always be here for you. Promise,” Spike said and kissed her. “I love you,” he said.
“I love you too,” Buffy said, softly.
