The next few nights were spent the same way. The two couples
at the Bronze. Willow actually began to look forward to seeing
Spike even though she knew she shouldn't. Her mother was driving
her to LA tomorrow for a computer seminar, she was checking into
a hotel for the night. Her Mom was picking her up the next day. It
was a good idea for her to be away from Spike.

Willows Mom helped her eith her luggage into the hotel lobby. "Do you
want me to go up to the room with you?" she asked. Willow shook her
head no "I'm okay, I'll see you tomorrow."

Willow unlocked the hotel room door and wentit. She put her luggage she returned to the room, it was supper time and she
ordered room service. There was a knock at the door, "That
was quick" she thought out loud.

She opened the door, and there stood Spike. He smiled at her,
"Hello, Luv, can I come in?" he asked "This isn't your home"
he pointed out.

Willow thought for a moment a voice in her head said "Don't
Willow, its Spike, Willow don't be crazy" It was Buffys
voice she was hearing. "Shut up Buffy" she thought to
herself and said "Come on it"

Spike looked a little bit shocked. Willow looked a little
shocked "What had she done?"

"I brought you something" Spike said almost shyly. He
presented her with a bouquet of roses.

"Thank you" said Willow sincerely.

"Lets go out, pet. Lets have a night out!" said Spike with
a grin.

"Okay" said Willow still unsure why she had let him in.

Several hours later they returned to the room, they had
been window shopping and dancing. Willow had to admit she
had a good time. Spike followed her into the room. She
turned to him, he kissed her very gently. She returned the
kiss, then broke it off saying, "You can't stay here,
Spike."

"I'll sleep on the floor, pet. Just let me stay." he
asked sweetly. "Callyour Mom and tell her you have a ride home
tomorrow evening. I'll drive you"

"I don't know if thats a good idea" said Willow, but she
found herself dialing her number, her Mom said it was okay,
it would save her the trip.

Spike and Willow watche tv until it got late, Willow started
yawning. Spike took a pillow and blanket and went to the
floor beside the bed. Willow went and changed into her
nightie, she climbed into the bed. "Goodnight Spike"
she said sleepily. "Goodnight luv" he replied as he tried to
get comfortable on the floor.

Willow was tired, but couldn't sleep. Spike was tossing
and turning on the floor. on your side of the bed, you can come in."

Spike was on the bed before she could finish the sentence.
She lay there for a moment wondering if she should sleep.
But it soon overtook her and she was sleeping soundly. Spike
watched her for a moment, he carefull pulled some of her
hair out of her face, and put his arm around her as she
slept.

The next morning Willow woke up to find herself nose to
nose with Spike in the bed. "Whoa" she thought and then
remembered where she was.

Spike woke up and smiled at her "Was it good for you?" he
asked her teasingly.

Willow was uncomfortable with the teasing for a moment,
then retorted "I guess not since I don't remember it!"

Spike had to laught at her reply " Touche, pet, as you know
I was a good boy. Your virtue is still intact!"

Willow looked at him with a smile. "We can change that
if you'd like thought" he said with a smile. Willow threw a
pillow at him and got up to go to the bathroom.

Willow and Spike spent another day in front of the tv. That
evening they checked out and Spike drove her home. As they
pulled into the driveway, Willow looked at him and got
serious. "Spike, this was wonderful, but it will be over
soon.I can't see you anymore."

"I know and I understand, I'll be my rude self again soon."
he kissed her gently on the lips and softly said "Goodbye,
sweet Willow"

Willow had a tear running down her cheek as she got out
of the car. She waved and smiled as he drove away. She
thought to herself bitterly "He'll be trying to kill me next
week. I am one mixed up girl."

A couple of weeks later, Willow was in bed. Therre was a tap
at the window. She got up and pulled back the curtain. "You
aren't going to fool me. I know the spell is over. Go away!
Spike." she said through the glass.

"yes, the spell is over Willow, you don't have to open
the door, but this isn't a trick. I just felt like you
should know and you probably don't care,but..." Spike was
having a hard time getting the words out.

"Spike spit it out" said Willow growing impatient.

"I miss you" said Spike "There I've said it , are you happy?"

Willow smiled at him through the glass, she nodded
her head yes.She waved goodbye to him, she went
back to bed with a smile on her face.

Spike left Willows confused, he was wondering, "What would
Druscilla look like with auburn hair? Bad Spike, thats the
slayers friend. I kill the slayers friends" He thought
ut loud. But it was no use he knew this was one of the
slayers friends that had no need to fear him, he could
never hurt Willow, not now.
