Chapter: Five
Spike was getting ready for his dinner and movie date at his
apartment with Carmen. Setting up the table with the Chinese food
reminded him of the short time he and Buffy had tried to live
together. They always had little dinners at home; Buffy never
cared for fancy dinners or expense excursions. "I'm happy as long
as I'm with you," she would always say. They were so happy but
she broke their happiness. "Apparently you weren't happy with
me," he said as he shook the thoughts of Buffy out of his head and
continued to set things up for his dinner. He had asked Carmen to
come at six thirty since it was October and the sun would be
setting sooner. He dressed quickly and was surprised when he
heard a knock at the door. "I guess Carmen's early," he said to
himself as he edged toward the door. "I'm coming!" He said as he
lit the candles and turned off the lights. As he opened the door,
showing his famous smile he gasped at who was standing there.
His smile turned into a frown as he became angry, yet irritated at
the same time. "What are you doing here?" He asked.
~*~
After they had finished discussing this new threat in town,
everyone left except Buffy, Dawn and Willow. "You should go
talk to him now," Willow again urged her friend. "Yeah, I guess
you're right. But what about dawn?" Willow smiled at her friend,
"Don't worry Buff, she can hang out with me. Maybe we'll get a
movie, give you and Spike some time to fix things." Buffy sighed.
"Yeah, I guess you're right again. I will see you later Will," Buffy
said as she went out the door, into her and Dawn's car and drove to
Spike's apartment. While driving in her car, different scenarios
were playing in her head of what he would say when he opened the
door and saw her standing there. Scenario 1: Spike opens door . .
.sees Buffy and slams door in her face. "Think positive thoughts,"
she told herself. Scenario 2: Spike opens the door, pulls her into a
kiss, then try's to bite her. 'More positive, but a little morbid,' she
thought. Scenario 3: Spike opens the door, says he loves her, and
pulls her into an embrace. "Much better," she said. So lost in her
thoughts, she didn't see the stop sign up ahead and almost crashed
into another car. "Watch where you're going, you blonde bitch!"
The girl in the car she almost hit yelled at Buffy. Buffy was in
shock until the car behind her honked its horn and snapped Buffy
back to reality. She drove away from the stop sign, and then pulled
into a gas station to calm her nerves for a moment. After that, she
continued on towards Spike's apartment, nervous and running
scenarios in her head. Though this time being more cautious
toward the rode that lay in front of her.
~*~
Spike was surprised to find Dawn standing before him. "Hi Spike,
can I come in?" She asked. "Actually I uh," but before he could get
out his words Dawn had already walked into his apartment. "What
are you doing here?" Spike asked, again annoyed that she had
ignored his question the first time. "I'm here because of Buffy."
Spike looked at dawn confused, "What'd you mean you're here
because of Buffy?" Dawn sighed. "Is everything okay with you
and her?" She asked with genuine concern in her voice. "What do
you mean is everything okay with us? She didn't tell?" He said
shocked at Dawn not knowing. "Tell me what? Spike, I'm worried
about Buffy. She disappears, than shows up like nothing happens.
Then when I mention your name, she runs away in tears. What did
you do?" Spike smirked at her accusation, "Its not what I did. Its
what she did. I suggest you go talk to your sister and make her fill
you in." Dawn looked confused. "Why can't you tell me?" She
asked. "Because I'm busy at the moment," he said, rushing Dawn
out of his apartment. "And I cant have you around when my
company arrives," he said as he pushed her out the door and shut it
in her face before she could protest. "That was rude," Dawn, said
on the other side of the door as she left Spike's apartment and
hopped into the cab that was waiting for her. Someone else pulled
up as Dawn drove away in the taxi.
~*~
Carmen was on her way to Spike's apartment when some crazy
blonde bitch almost drove into her car. She was in a good mood
because she was going to put her evil plan into place to kill the
Slayer and live happily with spike. "It's a perfect match," she said
to herself since they were both vampires. Well she was half, but
her demon side is what kept her able to walk out in daylight, which
was the only thing they didn't have in common. Carmen would
soon have everything she wanted or there would be hell to pay . .
.literally. But first things, first her date with Spike. Then, she
would kill the Slayer just like her other victims and nothing would
be able to stop her. She was three blocks away when she heard a
weird noise coming from the side of her car, so she pulled over.
"Shit," she said when she saw that she had a flat tire. She got back
in her car and drove to a gas station she had passed earlier. "What
a great time to have a flat," she said sarcastically as she tried to
change her tire.
~*~
After Spike slammed the door on Dawn, he began to think about
what Dawn had said about Buffy. She had said that Buffy was
back, and that she broke into tears at hearing his name as if he was
the one who had cheated then left her. His thoughts were
interrupted by a knock at the door. "I'm coming!" He said as he
reached to open the door and was again surprised that the knocker
wasn't who he expected. "Willow what are you doing here?" He
asked shocked. Just like Dawn she walked in without being invited
and ignored his question. "I asked, what are you doing here?" He
said, clearly irritated. Willow sighed, "Is Buffy here?" Spike was
confused. "Buffy, here," he laughed at her question. "That's not
funny," Willow said, clearly not amused. "I'm serious Spike. She
was coming to see you." Spike shook his head, "Buffy hasn't been
here. But Dawn just left a minute ago." Willow seemed delighted
at his statement. "She was? Oh thank god. I was so worried. Buffy
left me to watch her and she up and disappeared. This is such a
relief," she said as the worry lines on her face disappeared. "Well
glad to help. But you should leave now," he said rushing her out
and slamming the door before she could say anything like he did to
Dawn. But Willow didn't take it offensively. She smiled to herself
because of what she noticed set up in Spike's apartment. She
figured it was for Buffy and as she drove away in her car another
visitor for Spike pulled up, got out the car and took the elevator to
his apartment. Spike once again heard a knock and hoped it was
Carmen and after having two sudden guests who weren't Carmen,
he wasn't going to be shocked if it wasn't her, but he was happy
that it was. "Carmen luv, I see you finally made it." She smiled
seductively at him as she walked in and he closed the door. They
ate, and then Spike was going to set up the movie, when Carmen
had to go to the bathroom. He was just about to sit down when
someone knocked on the door. "Who the bloody hell is it now?"
He said as he went to open the door and when he did there was
yeah you guessed it, Buffy standing there, giving him a weak
smile. Spike was hit with so many emotions at once. Love, hate,
confusion and many more. "What-What are you bloody doing
here?" He asked, standing there shocked worse then ever.
~*~
Buffy was day dreaming so much she got lost but at least she
didn't get into another almost accident. She finally found her way
and decided to take the stairs, trying to slow herself from getting to
the point where she would be facing him. She reached his door,
apartment number 13 and raised her hand to knock. "Who the
bloody hell is it now?" She heard from the other side. She started
to turn away, but it was too late seeing as how Spike had already
opened the door. She gave him a weak smile, as he said, "What are
you bloody doing here?" She didn't know what to say. She could
not only see anger but pain in his eyes when he opened the door
and saw her there. "Spike, I'm so sorry. I was so stupid to hurt you
the way I did. I never meant to hurt you Spike. I love you, please
take me back," Buffy blurted out all at once, tears flowing down
her cheeks. Spike was taken back by what she said. He didn't
know whether to kiss her or hug her or turn her away. He could tell
she was being sincere by what he saw in her blue eye. He knew he
had to find his answer deep down in his heart and he only looked
there for a second before he knew exactly what he had to do
