Antonio came to see me the other day. I was trying to sweep up the merchandise and broken glass when he came in. I didn't even know he was in town, so you can imagine my surprise. Then he started talking to me about Spike, and how he couldn't believe that I would choose to be with Spike rather than him. Well, I didn't know I had chosen! Antonio's the one that left town abruptly and never called again after that big mess at Willow and Tara's reception. A woman has needs, you know. Of course, had I known that Antonio felt more for me than he had said when he was here last, I may not have slept with Spike in the first place. Then again, I've always admired the way that Spike is so nicely shaped. Not to mention I'm not sure I want a conventional human relationship anymore. I thought I did when I was with Xander, with all the things that go along with it like marriage and children. Or possibly without children, I granted a lot of wishes to women in labor who had been left by the father of the children they were currently giving birth to. I could have that with Antonio, if I didn't want to rip his entrails out and strangle him with them right now, that is.
Then Antonio went on to explain how sorry he was that he has been harrassing Spike for the past few weeks. Apparently he's been trying to get Spike to give me up so he can have me. I would've been flattered if it wasn't for the sending demons and other vampires after Spike part. I'm not just another of his possessions, you know, and I told him so. He got angry then and had the nerve to actually slap me! Me! Does he not know who I am?! I used to destroy men like him for doing less! Which reminds me, I hope he doesn't summon Astraeia. She's bound to accept his summons, since he could be considered a scorned man.
And when was Spike going to tell me about all of this? Unless he was trying to be noble and didn't want me to worry about him. Which would be sweet, but unlike Spike. Perhaps Spike doesn't realize that the demons and vampires that have been after him lately were hired by Antonio? At least I know it wasn't him that sent the demons to rob my shop, I asked him and he said "No, that would not accomplish anything". Well, I told him he could go right back to Italy, because I was not going to stop having sex with Spike just because he decided that he wants me now. Besides, I have more important things to do, like get my shop back together and open, not to mention tracking down who sent those demons to rob it in the first place.
