"You...you....vampire!" she spit the word out.
Spike stopped and turned to her, his eyes lit with amusement. "Ooohhh....that one hurt. Cut me deep, Red."
"I can't believe your nerve! I have to face them tomorrow with them thinking that you....that I....that we...." her face turned red.
He started to laugh. "Yes pet? That we what?"
"UGH! You make me so mad!" She turned and started to walk away from him.
Spike was startled to see her leaving. No one walked away from him. He hurried to catch up to her.
"Now kitten....I helped you. You wanted to say No...I could see it...I heard you say the word....I just gave you that extra push."
She turned to him, her eyes blazing "PUSH? PUSH? You told them that I was going to have sex with you! You may find that real funny, but I'm the one who has to face Buffy tomorrow."
"Well, I never said it was perfect, but it did work. I never thought I'd see the slayer speechless. She's not too bad that way."
"Fine...laugh at my expense. I don't care. I'll be the one embarrassed tomorrow. I don't know why I'm so upset. Hell, its not like they believed you anyway."
"Why wouldn't they?" Spike asked curiously. "I thought I was convincing. Regular oscar caliber performance." he said cockily.
Willow rolled her eyes. "Look at you...now look at me. Why would they think you'd ever want someone like me when you could have anyone? Puh-leez. They aren't that stupid."
"Wait....Why wouldn't I want you? I'd say it would show good taste on my part. You're much better than that slutty slayer."
Willow smiled. "Thanks. You don't have to say that though. I know what I am."
"You must not see what I see. Anyway, what are we doing tonight?"
"Huh?"
"This evening? Our "date"? We have to do something. Knowing that bitch, she will probably be trying to find something to convince herself that it was a lie. Sorry, but I am not about to give her the satisfaction. So, what are we doing luv?"
Willow stopped walking and looked at him. He was serious. He actually wanted to spend the evening with her. She couldn't believe it. Of course, it was just to get back at Buffy. She wondered if she should play along. The only other option was to give her friend the ammunition to embarrass her thoroughly.
"OK. Why don't we....." she gnawed on her lip as she tried to decide.
She didn't know. What would a hundred plus years vampire think would be Friday night festive?
Spike watched her teeth bite her lower lip and felt himself harden. (Bloody hell, what the fuck did I do? How can I keep up this 'Let's be chums and screw over the slayer' act all night when all I really want to do is throw her to the ground and fuck her into oblivion? Me and my big mouth)
"I know. Let's go play miniature golf. That will be fun." Willow said, nodding.
It was the only safe choice she could come up with. Her usual thoughts about Spike centered around her and him and naked flesh....hot, wild sex....somehow, she didn't think he'd find that idea too good.
Spike groaned. "Golf? Is that the best you can do? I should have left you with them..."
"Hey now there....Golf can be fun. What? Are you scared that I'll beat you? Ahh...isn't that sweet. Big bad vampire scared of losing to little ol' me. Poor vampie..."
"You're on, Red. I'll whip your cute little arse. Lead the way."
"Better watch out. I'm good at this. It may be just be YOUR cute little 'arse' getting the whipping." Willow smirked, turning and heading towards her car.
Spike watched her walk and smiled. "You can whip my ass anytime sweets"
he said too soft for her to hear. He hurried to catch up. He had to show Miss Thing who the God of Miniature Golf was.
Fate smiled. His work was done for the evening.
Humming to himself, he watched as they argued playfully and got in the
car. Yes, things were progressing fine here. He may get that vacation sooner
than he thought. Yes, he had been right about those two. Perfect for each
other. Ooops, he'd better get going. He had much more to do before dawn,
and he really wanted to check back up on them later in the evening. Make
sure everything went as he imagined it would. Now, he had to check on one
of his favorite children, Latisha....He had some things planned for her
that couldn't wait. He waved his hand and disappeared.
