Chapter 2: Secrets and Dilemmas.
Spike sat, lonely, on the balcony of the Bronze, feeling bored, and wishing someone would help him out on his little dilemma with the Slayer.
God too many dilemmas.
*Outside Buffy’s house*
OK, so he stalked her a bit... Behind the tree of her house, waiting for any sign of her, and this time he got lucky.
Well for him.
She dragged him from out of his space behind the tree, he smiled bashfully and let his William side out for a walk, ''Hi Buffy.''
Buffy just gave him a blank stare, anger filled her eyes, and she spoke, ''Don't take this the wrong way but...''And then she socks him in the nose.
Spike growled and held his nose, ''Ow!'' Releasing his nose, and slightly getting annoyed, dragging the William back in.
Buffy put her hands on her hips, not in anyway impressed by his presence, ''What are you doing here? Five words or less!''
Spike opened up his cocky side and counted with his finger, ''Out...*Pinkie finger* for...*Ring finger* a...*Middle finger* walk...*Index finger* Bitch *Thumb*.''
Buffy sighed, obviously pissed off, ''Out for a walk at night by my house. No one has time for this, William.'' Spike gave her a hurt look for saying his real name, and paused for a long moment.
Before saying, ''On your merry way, then. You know, contrary to one's self-involved world-view, your house happens to be directly between parts... and other parts of this town. And I would pass by in the day but I feel I'm outgrowing my whole "burst into flame" phase.'' There. He'd stuttered it out. But at least he told her. It was a lie. But hopefully it would save him a great deal of getting another smash in the nose.
Buffy just looked behind herself, something keeping on her mind, ''Fine. Keep going, I cut you a break.''
Spike chuckled, ''Oh, yeah. Okay, let me guess... you won't kill me? Woo... the whole crowd-pleasing threats-and-swagger routine. How stunningly original. You know, I'm just passing through. Satisfied? You know, I really hope so because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard and I never really liked you anyway and... And you have stupid hair!'' He turned away a hurt expression she couldn’t see, and stalked into the night, heading to the Bronze.
Not seeing the expression on Buffy’s face; A little bit perplexed. She looked down at the base of the tree and noticed a dozen or so cigarette butts where Spike was standing. Having no time to worry about it now, Buffy heads off to the factory.
*End of flashback*
He wanted to tell her everything.
But he knew the results to that little urge.
Pain.
Ignorance.
Insults.
Heartbreak.
Less trust than normal.
He'd tried everything to get his mind off of her, Fighting, Drinking, heck! Anything just to stop him ; the big bad, from being love struck by the hero.
But his emotions were too strong to get her off of his mind. He felt stupid, she didn't care about him, he knew that for sure she would be disgusted with him tell all of her mates, and they wouldn't understand either.
The Bit would though, she knew him more than anyone else ,she would visit him as well, and they'd just talk, or he'd tell her stories, or the other way around.
He loved her, but in the friendly sense; they'd understand each other as well.
Even if Dawn went on and on about Jessie McCartney way too much.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buffy gently laid the monk down on the broken floor, it wasn’t the best place to rest in peace but that wasn’t the main thing on Buffy’s mind.
The monk had told her what the Key was alright. Or to rephrase, who the Key was. Buffy stood up, head turning in sight of anything tall, with fake blonde hair, and dressed in the sluttiest red dress. But no sign.
So she ran.
And ran.
She couldn't go back to her house, but knew only one place close enough, she ran down the cold cemetery, avoiding the parts where there were most vampires.
Spotting out the exit gate, Buffy headed out to go through them, racing past the familiar Crypt in question.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
''Buffy!!! Buffy!!!'' A heard of voices alarmed her as she walked into her own home, the Scooby’s rushing to her asking her if she was OK.
''I'm fine... Where’s Dawn and Tara?'' Buffy asked, a frown appearing on her face, her eyes turning to Willow and Giles.
Willow sat down on the couch patting a place for Buffy to sit down to relax on, she looked up and gave Buffy a nervous look, ''At my Dorm...I didn’t think you'd mind...Giles will you get some Anticipant and some bandages?''
Giles nodded and disappeared into the Kitchen.
''So Buff... What is it this time? Freaky demon dogs? Vampirism disasters looking for a new Butt Monkey? Red- eyed Zombie Bunnies?''
''BUNNIES?!? No! No! Xander!!! Please no! No Bunnies... Please lord, no bunnies!'' Anya screeched, frightfully jumping onto Xanders lap, causing Willow, Buffy, Xander and Giles to look at her in shock.
Xander touched her cheek and said softly, ''No, Anya, just me being sarcastic - no demon rabbits, OK?'' He assured her.
Anya just nodded , '' Yes...Well you're going to pay by giving me multiple orgasms, like you did yesterday!'' She gave him a playful shove when Xander looked nervously around the room, ''You know! With those outfits you brought from the little Sex Sh-''
''ANYA!!'' Xander yelped, a horrified look paled onto his face, looking back to his friends he saw a mirrored reflection of his own embarrassment.
''N-Now we're past the sex talk - which by the way I am blocking from my mind - Buffy what actually happened?'' Giles asked, handing the band-aids to Willow.
''Well...'' Buffy paused. Should she tell them? It seemed there was no going back now, she couldn’t just tell them it was nothing and that she ran into a nasty Vamp at the factory.
Sighing, Buffy told them everything about what happened, from the annoying fake blonde, to the saving the monk and having a little chat about the 'Key'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spike drunkly stalked out of the bronze, a bottle of beer in hand, as he walked through the wet path he spotted an annoying sight of Riley’s sand coloured hair heading to a familiar spot in a dark alley way.
Spike swung the beer tohis lips and drank deep. After draining the bottle he placed it onto a crate next to his feet and followed Buffy's coin-opparated boy down the Alley.
And that’s when he remembered what was behind the door that Riley suddenlt knocked on, looking around to see if anyone was watching him.
Riley was either going to kill the whole set of Vamps that where in that dark building... Or about to get a suck job from a female vamp.
And not sexually.
*FUCK!* Spikes mind screamed, Riley was going to get half of his blood drank. By the way he was acting, Spike knew that Buffy didn't know.
