I can’t believe I’m actually doing this! I have to be losing my mind! Spike had been repeating the same thing in his head from the moment he left his house. He still couldn’t comprehend how in the world Willow was able to talk him into going on a blind date. I’m 28 bloody years old! I don’t go on blind dates anymore! This isn’t high school.
Waiting fidgety for the elevator to stop, He looks down at the scribbled note in his hand Apartment B21.
The elevator comes to a stop and the shaft's doors open. Taking a deep breath, he steps out and walks a short way down the hall before finding the apartment. Guess this is it. Putting the piece of paper in his pocket, he switches the flowers to his right hand and knocks on the door.
A few moments later, a young woman around 24 dressed in a tight blood red blouse and a black satin skirt, answers the door. Bloody hell. Spike suddenly felt like he was a lost teen age boy trying to ask a girl out for the first time. She was breath-taking. Not at all what he had expected for being the leftovers of his friend.
Being the sucker that he was for smiles, he was immediately drawn to her pink pouty lips; lightly coated in clear shimmery lip gloss. Her smile was adorable and friendly and coy all at the same. He felt himself lose his voice at that moment. Her golden blond hair was pulled back into a messy bun held up by matching red chopsticks, with several loses strands left in front falling playfully into her stunning green eyes.
“Wow you’re gorgeous… I mean you look gorgeous… not to say that you aren’t but…” The girl blushes and giggles putting him at even further loss for words.
He suddenly realizes that he was not acting himself and need to bring ‘Spike’ back forward.
Trying to regain composer, Spike closes his eyes and runs his fingers back through his bleach blond locks.
Once again, with a friendly and bashful smile he extends his hand out to her. “Hi, I'm Spike”
Still with a childish giggle, she smiles and shakes his hand “I'm Buffy”
Still feeling slightly out of body, he hands her the roses. “These are for you.” Her smile widens and he, at that juncture, feels his knees weaken.
“Thank you… um come in” She turns and walks into her apartment.
Pull yourself together mate! Spike follows her into her neat cozy little home and watches as she walks into the kitchen to get a vase for the flora. Her black satin skirt hugging her hips and shifting just right as she walks. She had body any Greek goddess would be jealous of. He refocused his attention to a black and white picture on the wall, knowing all to well that he had to look away before he got to excited.
She walks back out with a somewhat mischievous smile. “So Spike…”
He turned back to her with a charming smile. “So… Ah… Willow did tell you that it’s been a while since I’ve done this right? So you’ll have to forgive me… I’m a bit rusty”
Buffy laughs lightly “Yea she did. And don’t worry I suck on first dates too…”
Hearing here comment Spike’s mind wonders and he simply raises eyebrow and grins expectantly. “Really now?”
She catches on an immediately looks mortified. “At first dates! I suck at first dates!... I mean… I’m obviously not good at these”
Instantaneously, Spike finds himself and adjusts easily into his persona as she beings to blush feverishly.
“I’m… ah… I have to ah finish getting ready… just make yourself at home.”
Having fun he grins “You do that luv, I’ll be here… lingering…” He was sure to let his voice emphases his word.
To his satisfaction the light flush in her cheek increases. “Um… ok…. I’ll be back” She turns quickly and walks down the hall to her room.
Chuckling lightly, Spike watches her walk away in a flush. Yeah, mate, you’ve still got it.
