"Spiiiike! stop............Please Spike!" I'm running after him but
he won't stop. I heard Buffy and him talking and
if I did'nt hear it with my own ears I would never have believed
it...... Dare I start hoping?

Oh boy, now where did he go?

" Oh....oh....danm!....I lost him!"

*sigh* I might as well go home, my parents are away for 6 months and
I don't feel like going back to Buffy's.

I wonder who it was they were talking about? The looks on their faces
when they saw me was really weird. I did"nt
hear all that much of their convesation but from what I did hear made
me wonder if it could be me. Hmmm lets see,
I came in the front door of Buffys and that's when I hear her voice.

"What!....You have a cheek! You call out her name when it should have
been mine and instead of saying ' I'm sorry
Buffy, let me explain ' you say 'I can't do this anymore Buffy '.

"Buffy I told you before any of this started that I was in love with
her."

"I know!....I know you did Spike but I need you, you make me feel,
you....."

"No Buffy, anyone can do what I'm doing. I'm just convenient coz I
know the circumstances that got you here."

"Please Spike, don't do this, I''ll do anything you want."

"The only thing I want is her, Buff, I love her with all my undead
heart."

"Not that long ago you said you loved me!"

"*sigh* We've already had this out, I told you it was this bloody
chip! If I can't get you one way I'll get you another,,
Blah, blah, blah..you know that old saying."

"Yeah I know but it's just..........What has she got that I have'nt?
What could she possibly give you that I can't? Nothing
that's what! You don't even know if she loves you back.."

"She does."

"What? How do you know?"

"When I catch her looking at me I see the look in her eyes, there's
no mistaking THAT look."

"Crap! You mean the look you HOPE  you see."

"There's no hope about it, it's there."

"What about me?"

"Go to you Watcher Pet, tell him everthing, you know he'll help you."

"*sigh* Yeah, okay....Do you really love her Spike, I mean I know you
say you do but....She can't  get hurt like that, not
again. I don't think she could survive another blow like that."

"I love her more than anything or anyone I've ever loved before, I'll
love her forever, I'll...."

"Willow!"

"Exactly."

"No Spike, Willow's behind you!"

"......OH SHIT!"

"Hey guys, what's going on?"

"Red...I ummm.........gotta go, bye!"

".....Could he get any weirder?"

"Wills go after him."

"What?"

"Willow go!"

"Okay, okay, sheesh."

And that brings me right back here. Hey! Where's my house keys? Oh
don't tell me I lost them when I....Yay here
they are.

"BOO!"

"AAHHHH!........SPIKE!.............That's not funny...... stop
laughing Spike!...... I hate it when you do that, Goddess you
scared me half to death."

"Sorry Pet, I could'nt  help myself."

"Try harder next time."

"So Pet what did you want?"

"Huh?"

"Oh very smart Red......you were calling after me."

"Oh yeah I was....."

"Well."

"Well I heard you and Buffy talking and.....you know."

"No."

"I ahh........I heard you telling Buffy you loved someone that was'nt
her and then you stopped coz Buffy saw
me andd you said...you said...well you know what you said and then I
said hi guys what's going on and
then you said Red I umm gotta go and you ran off and Buffy said to go
after you and so I did and when I
was running after you I started to hope prehaps that....."

"Hope? You started to hope prehaps what Red?"

Oh Goddess ummmm."

"Yeesss."

"Spike."

"Yes Pet."

"Please don't make me say it."

"Say what Red?"

"Please."

"Please What?"

"Please let me be the one you love Spike."

"......Why would you want that Willow?"

"Because........Cause I ummmm."

"Red!"

"Oh Goddess! okay, I love you Spike, I mean I really love you. I have
for awhile now and I was gonna say
something before bu..........."

Oh my.......he's kissing me and it's....it's....MMmmmmmmmm.

"WOW!"

"That's one way of putting it Pet and yes, it is you I love...I love
you very much Willow."

"Oh Spike, I think I'm gonna cry."

"Bloody hell, don't do that Red!"

"*sniff* Do you really love me Spike? Really?"

"Yeah Baby really."

"I love you too."

He's holding me so tight and his face is buried into my hair. Oohhhhh
he feels so right against me.

"Pet lets take this inside."

"Okay."

Now where's that key again?

"You need to invite me in Pet."

"I invite you to come in Spike..........and stay forever......."

"Anything you say Red anything you say!"

The End
