Buffy sighed, shed been working for almost 12 hours now because the new guy hadn’t shown up for his shift. ‘Double time at the double meat, what could be better?’she asked herself.
“Give me a number 3 and next time try to pay attention when a customer comes in instead of having a blonde moment.” A gruff voice snapped at her. She’d been so zoned she hadn’t even seen the man walk in.
That was it. She lost her cool. She was tired of strangers being rude to her and she didn’t care if she lost her job anymore. “What’s your problem?” she seethed and looked up into the most brilliant blue eyes she’d ever seen. Eyes that where clouded with anger.
“Pardon me?” Her attitude had shocked the man, who did she think she was?
“Do you get off on being rude to people you don’t know?” He was clenching his jaw now and Buffy could tell he was royally pissed but she was on a roll. “Should I supersize it for you sir, I’m sure you’d like your meal to be as big as your ego is.”
“Who the fuck do you think you are? You don’t know me.” He growled.
‘Wow that sounded sexy’. “Oh no? You don’t think you’re better then me because I have to serve you? You don’t think it’s okay to talk to me like I’m nothing because I get paid minimum wage to make your supper. It’s my job right? It’s okay to treat me like shit because I’m paid to take it? Well I’ll tell you something” she said as she tore her hat off and he noticed how soft her hair looked for the first time “You can go fuck yourself along with this place.”
Just then her manager stepped out and she was red in the face.
“Miss Summers your fired.”
Buffy looked at the girl and snorted. “In case you didn’t understand what I meant by telling this place to go fuck itself I’ll say it real slow for you. I (long pause) Quit!. This place doesn’t even use real meat in it’s doublemeat patties.” She said loud enough for everyone in the restaurant to hear. The manager gasped and turned pale.
She took off her D.M.P shirt revealing her skin tight black tank top and her golden skin and stormed out.
Spike stood there frozen as he watched the fiery girl walk out. ‘Bitch’ he thought to himself but he couldn’t stop the small smile from coming to his face. ‘S’ been a long time since someones had the balls to stand up to me, who’d have thought it would have been a tiny lil blond chit with a hot body?’
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffy took another shot, it burned all the way down. What the fuck was she gonna do now? She had no income now. She had a few months rent saved up in her bank account but what would she do then.
She put her head in her hands and sighed. She’d just moved here two weeks ago after leaving L.A and her asshole father behind, in search of independence. Sunnydale had seemed like a nice town but it was boring. There was nothing to do and way too many cemeteries for her liking. She decided that she’d start looking for a job in the paper tomorrow, tonight she was gonna get smashed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“What do you mean you’re quitting?” Spike roared into the phone.
“I cant handle your temper anymore blondie bear”the girl yelled back.
“So were over then too?”he asked hopefully, truthfully he had hated dating Harmony but he had nothing better to do.
“Yes.” –click- The line went dead. ‘Well at least I’ll have her out of my hair’ Spike thought gratefully. He dialled a friend who worked for the paper to collect on a favor. He’d need to have an add put in the paper for the morning. He couldn’t afford to not have a bartender for the small bar he ran. It was too popular a place and he needed someone stat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffy woke up and ran to the bathroom. ‘Jack why? I thought we where friends’ she thought as she threw up several times.
5 coffees later and newspaper in hand Buffy started to search the paper. Their was only one add she could respond to.
“Bartender needed for the Club Apocalypse. Female. Age 21-25 pref. Phone 555-6969 for interview.”
She dialled the number.
“’Lo?” A sexy british voice answered.
“Hi, I’m Buffy Summers. I’m calling in regards to your add in the paper.” His voice sounded familiar but chances where she’d served him at some point in the last two weeks considering the doublemeat Palace was quite popular in Sunnydale.
“Great, can you come in for two o’clock?” Her voice sounded familiar but he couldn’t’ quite place it.
“Sure, I’ll see you then.”she said happily and hung up the phone.
She’d done a lot of bartending while living in L.A and was really good at it too. She’d heard about the Apocalypse from some co-workers, well ex co-workers now. They had told her it was a really wild place but she’d never gone. She was saving as much money as she could to buy a house. Something she could call her own, something she could finally call home. It was gonna be hard work but she was up for it. Her mom had left her a large amount of money when she had passed but Buffy would only have access to it when she turned 25. She was only 23.
When Spike heard the dial tone he smiled. The chit had a very seductive voice. He couldn’t wait to meet her and if she was pretty, he couldn’t wait to fuck her. He winced at his own thought. ‘When did I become such a prick and a womanizer?’ he asked himself. ‘Probably after Dru cheated on you and Cecily fucked with your head’ he thought supplying himself with the answer. Girls could not be trusted, they could be fun, they could be useful and they could be fucked. That was it.
Buffy walked into the darkened club and looked around while her eyes adjusted to the dim lighting. She had worn black leather pants with a red halter top and her hair hung past her shoulders. She had curled it slightly and had put on dark make up. She figured if she wanted to work here she should dress more sexy then usual. Looks made good impressions and looks made good tips.
Spike looked up from the table where he’d been pouring over some papers and sucked in his breath. There was a girl standing in the door and the light framed her from behind. Her hair shone like gold and she had the body of a goddess. She looked like an angel. ‘Shut up William you ponce’ he mentally chided the poet in him. The person he had been before turning into Spike.
He got up and walked over to her. “Hi, you must be here for the inter…”he stopped short when he saw who it was. Buffys eyes widened and fire sparked in her eyes when she saw his face.
“You.”they both exclaimed at the same time.
Let me know what you guys think and I’ll try to post again tomorrow!
