Buffy stepped out of the car and followed spike into his house. It was pretty small but really cozy and lived in. There were rumors passed around that Spike lived on his own because he killed his parents. She knew that his parents were in england and very much alive because she had met them before. His parents were rich and paid for him to live here in Sunnydale on his own.
“Luv are you hungry? I have pizza, and macaroni. And that’s about it because I have to go shopping.”
Buffy smiled at his attempt to be kind to her. She was not used to Spike trying so hard to be he friend. He usually kept his distance so that she could hang out with her close knit group. He was of a further knit but still there.
“Pizza would be nice, especially if it’s cold. Thank you.” Alright so we got through the awkward what will break the ice part of whatever this is.
“Back in a few pet. Oh, do you want a beer?”
“No thank you. I don’t drink when my dad is in town.” “gotta stay on my toes or my ass” she muttered barely audible but Spike had heard her.
After eating Spike sat down across from her and looked her in the eyes.
‘God is she beautiful’ he thought “What happened to your arm?” Spike said out loud.
She sighed and stood up. “Is that why you brought me here? To ask me something I have already told you about nothing happened and even if something did do you really think it is any of your business? Nothing happened” she said again but gentler because Spike looked hurt. Though she felt bad about lying to him she was more afraid of what he would do to her if she told someone.
“I have to get home.” She said suddenly. “Now.” Fear coursing through her body she couldn’t help but tell Spike “it’s not that I don’t want to tell you. It’s that I can’t. He’ll kill me.” The last sentence was said with such rejection and pain that Spike wanted to go over to her and hold her and tell her everything was going to be okay and that she had nothing to worry about because he was going to protect her. But he could tell he was starting to break her shield by telling him that she was afraid of someone. That was some comfort to him.
Spike saw her mood change from fear to compassion as she said, “Spike, thank you for caring so much but if you really felt anything for me you would take me home right now before I am late.” Back to fear and in a whisper she said, “oh god, what if he’s already there?” she broke into tears and threw her arms around him. He hugged her back and felt her trembling. She was truly scared, of what or who, he still didn’t know.
They got into his car and he sped her home parking across the street he looked at her and could tell she was anxious to get in the house and yet afraid of whatever she had to face. She calmed down considerably when she saw there was no car in the driveway, and looked at Spike though he was the first to speak.
“Buffy, I know that you are afraid of something and that you don’t want to anybody. But I swear whatever you tell me I won’t repeat to harris, red, or Rupert. Come on luv, you can tell me anything and I will always be here for you. That is my promise to you, pet.”
Buffy sat in contemplation for a moment and then looked at him. “You promise not to tell anybody?”
“Yes pet, I give you my word over everything I love.”
“Alright, for the past few weeks, my…. Oh my god he’s here.” She screamed terrified. She unlocked the door of the car and ran out before even finishing her sentence. As she was running to the door he came up behind her and grabbed her arm yanking her to face him. Spike saw the pain in her eyes and by the way she rigidly. He threw her into the house and followed slamming the door.
‘Bugger’ Spike thought what was he supposed to do? Was it him who she was afraid of? He came out about 10 minutes later and left. Spike went up to the door and rang the bell. There was no answer but he knew she was still in there. He tried the handle which was unlock. ‘A miracle.’ He thought stepping into the house.
