Spike paced up and down the large living room of the mansion
he called home. He was thinking of the slayer, Buffy. He was
angry. Angry at her because it had been nine days since he
had seen her,and angry with himself because he knew it
had been exactly nine days since he had seen her.
"Well, I am tired of waiting. If she thinks I'll just sit
and wait till she deems me worthy of a visit, she is as
nuts as Dru. I am not her soulful Angel, I am the rude
Spike. I wait for no one!" he thought as he continued to
pace.
Buffy was humming to herself as she walked to the mansion
door. She had meant to come sooner, but she was very
confused about this situation. She had told no one about
Spike not even Willow. She didn't even know why she was
here. Yes, she did know, she had kissed Spike and she had
definitely enjoyed it.
Buffy knocked on the door. The knock startled Spike. "I don't
need bloody visitors right now. I am in a foul mood. Its
probably all that animal blood I've been drinking. Thats
another thing if she thinks I am going to give up warm human
blood" he thought as he went to the door.
He answered it and there she was smiling that smile at him.
"She is absolutely right, I don't need human blood" he
thought to himself as he found the words to invite her in.
She came in and said "Hello" sweetly as she sat down on the
couch.
Spike chose a chair across from her, it wouldn't do to let
her know how much he wanted to be with her. He was trying
to play it cool.
"How are you?" she asked.
"I'm fine Slayer, and you?" he asked cooly. He could see her
ruffle at the term 'slayer' she had made it clear that she
liked to be called by her name.
"I'm sorry I haven't come sooner. This is all very confusing
for me." She tried to explain. "You can't tell me you
aren't confused."
"Obsessed is more like it" he thought to himself. The out
loud he said "Actually I'm not confused. But I have been
busy, so I didn't really notice how long it had been." The
busy part was true in a sense, he had been busy thinking
of her.
She seemed hurt by the remark. She thought a moment and
stood up to go. "Well, I just wanted to check on you. Make
sure none of Angelus' boys had come to visit. I'll go now"
"See ya around Slayer" he said and continued to sit in the
chair.
She went for the door turned around to look at him one
more time and put her hand on the knob to go.
"Forget cool, shes leaving!" he thought as he jumped and
ran to the door.
She was startled and turned to him. "Please don't go" he
asked barely above a whisper.
"I'm sorry I didn't hear you" she said playfully.
"I said please don't go" he said boldly. Thinking "She is
enjoying this, how did she get in control here?"
Buffy smiled at him "So are we going to play nice now, or
do you want me to take my toys and go home?"
He laughed out loud. "You know bloody well, I don't want
you to go home." He thought "I don't care if shes in
control as long as she stays."
