Couldn’t help but wonder where the slayer was the whole time. Here we were me and Red’s former witch of a girlfriend, together in this Magic Shop and no sign of the slayer or her Scoobies. If they found us here together they would be convinced I was up to no good. Always Spike, the big bloody bad up to no good. A man can change you know. But not to

“Nice one there. Guess he didn't like that spot. Don't blame him much, all the way at the top unnoticed.”

I look down at him and then at the book. "Sometimes unnoticed is nice, quite. Sometimes it can get quite lonely." I murmur and I nervously started to chew my bottom lip before turning and putting the few books in my arms away.

“Place is looking good so far.”

I slowly make my way down the ladder and I smile up at him. "Thanks, I'm quite proud of this place s-s-so far." I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. "I j-just hope I can keep it up." And stay alive. The past few shop owners didn't live more then six months when owning this place.

I cough and look around the shop. "I'm going to sort the herbs over there." I point stupidly over to the only shelf unit with herbs. "Umm would you uh, mind doing those jars over there please? They're a bit heavier then I thought..."

He nods and we go our separate ways. I start putting the herbs up, contemplating on doing it in ABC order or by potency. I sat down and lean back against the bookshelf as I start to sort through the box nearest to me.

I look up when I hear Spike swear, I start to ask what's wrong but he continues doing his thing so I shrug it off. I sigh and bite at my lip, my mind still wondering back to the image of him kissing me.

"Get a grip, he'll never see you like that. You're always going to be 'Willow's Ex' to him, to everyone." I mutter to myself, lowering my head to look down at an herbalists book in my lap. "And It's not like you can just go up to him and say 'Spike, what's going on? Why don't you just kiss me? Don't you want too?' No, I'm quiet and shy Tara that nobody notices, I blend into the background. That's my place." I sigh and realize that I spoke all that out loud.

I gasp and look up wide eyed and I notice that Spike's staring at me. Oh god, he didn't hear me right? I'll just...oh god.

"Sometimes unnoticed is nice, quite. Sometimes it can get quite lonely."

I just listened to what she said and silently agreed. I guess the two of us were in the same spot. Always on the outside, always unnoticed. Well, that would bloody change soon. I’ll show the bloody slayer something to notice.

"Thanks, I'm quite proud of this place s-s-so far. I j-just hope I can keep it up."

I figured that she meant with all the death rate here. My crazy black goddess killed a shop owner here herself to. We weren’t big fans of this place before. I noticed how strange she acted towards me. Almost like she was holding back on something, must be going crazy. What could she possible be holding back. I listen to her orders and work on the jars on the other side.

“Oh bloody ‘ell. Stupid bugger can’t bloody stay the hell up” Of course the I dropped a jar with some eye looking thin inside. Great one. I glance over at Tara but she didn’t seem to notice, I guess I’ll have to tell her anyways. I sigh and head over towards her only to find her talking to herself.

"Get a grip, he'll never see you like that. You're always going to be 'Willow's Ex' to him, to everyone. And It's not like you can just go up to him and say 'Spike, what's going on? Why don't you just kiss me? Don't you want too?' No, I'm quiet and shy Tara that nobody notices, I blend into the background. That's my place."

Just then she looks up to notice me. “Right then, got something to tell me” I lean against the door frame with my arms crossed. “Oh one thing I wanted to mention kitten, you don’t have to worry about keeping the place. I‘m here now, don’t think any big bad will mess with you and this place now. Also” I glance over towards where I spilled the jar “Stupid bugger fell on me, hope I didn’t cause too much inconvenience to you love.” I glance back over at her as our eyes meet up “So now love you got something to tell me?”

[magick_goddess]

I stared up at him like a deer in headlights nodding dumbly when he said I didn't have to worry about keeping the place up. He'd protect me. Normally I'd smile at that, right now I'm trying to keep my heart from dropping into my toes.

"D-don't worry about t-the jar..." I stammered and got up, I looked up at him and my eyes met his. I felt my face get redder as he stared at me.

So now love you got something to tell me?”

Yes, stop calling me love, pet and kitten because it makes me lose all thought and makes me weak in the knees.

But I didn't speak. I just shook my head and tried to make my way past him. "N-no..nothing S-Spike..." He wouldn't let me pass him and stood right in front of me. Inches away from me, I could smell him so clearly. He smelled of smoke, blood and leather.

I looked up at him and didn't move. "S-spike...p-please just..." Kiss me. "L-let me p-pass..."

[got_the_spark]

I could smell the emotions written all over her. The nervous feeling coming from inside. Always knew I had that effect on girls just not gay girls. Gotta give myself props for that one.

"D-don't worry about t-the jar..."

Glad she didn’t care about the jay, didn’t think she would especially with what I just heard her say to herself.

"N-no..nothing S-Spike... S-spike...p-please just...L-let me p-pass..."

“Trying to avoid the question now are we love” I let out a slight laugh and continued to stand in her way. “Sorry pet, not letting you go anywhere till you tell me some stuff. Not that I didn’t hear most of it already”

I do have to admit this was a bit amusing. Watching her like a mouse caught in a trap trying to squeeze its way out. I place my cool white hand upon her cheek and stair deep into her eyes “Nothing to fear pet”

Right away she moved her head to the side, “Seems like you got something to fear, what can’t touch you now” She tries to walk past me again but I stop her once more. So close yet so distant. What was it with her, was there something there that I didn’t see before. I could smell the power she had, the magic she possessed, and something else. Something different then before.

[magick_goddess]

“Trying to avoid the question now are we love....Sorry pet, not letting you go anywhere till you tell me some stuff. Not that I didn’t hear most of it already”

He laughed. He was laughing at me. Yes, and he wonders why I don't tell him.

His hand touches my cheek and I lean into it for a moment before realizing what I was doing. I try to move past him but he blocks me again. He stands less then an inch away from me and everything inside me starts spinning. Taking a deep breath I look up at him. "Wh-what do you want me to say? What I f-fear are my f-feelings..." I look down and study my hands. "S-spike we are together almost everyday, we have been the entire summer...I just..." I sigh and take a deep breath knowing that I have to spit it out already. I look up at him and speak softly. "W-what are we? Friends or...? D-don't you want... W-why haven't you kissed me?" Oh god, did I say that out loud? I did. It's too late to take it back now.

[got_the_spark]

"W-what are we? Friends or...? D-don't you want... W-why haven't you kissed me?"

“Well then is that what you really want?”

I begin to push her forward “That wasn’t so hard to say now was it love” As I continue to walk I continued to push her back until she is up against the wall. I inch myself closer to her until my lips are barely touch hers. “Is this what you really want”

Such sexual tension was felt between us, I’ve felt it for a long time just figured she didn’t swing that way. Did I really want this? How would I know until I gave in. I begin to run my slender digits though her golden locks and quickly press my lips against hers. I could feel the passion spark between us as my tongue parted her lips. Within this moment I almost forgot all about the bloody slayer and her damn scoobies. I didn’t want to let go, I didn’t want to stop but I knew I had to. Slowly I ended the kiss and pushed my head back staring into those beautiful eyes of hers.

“Is that what you wanted kitten? Is that what you still want?”

[magick_goddess]

“Well then is that what you really want?”

He started stalking towards me like I was prey and I backed up until I was pressed against the back wall, he keeps moving till his body is barely touching mine and his lips were inches away. He repeated what he said and before I could respond his hand was in my hair then his lips were pressed quickly against mine.

I placed my hands on his arms and kissed him back, letting his tongue slip past my lips and brush lightly against my own. I kissed him back, running my hand down his shoulder while his hand was in my hair.

My brain couldn't comprehend what was happening and I just melted into him. I had wanted this for so long, since one of the first nights we'd fallen asleep on his couch watching an old movie. That was one of the things I liked about Spike, they drew me to him. The little things that he liked that you'd never guess he did unless you knew him.

I thought I saw stars kissing him. My mind was running a mile a minute and I could feel him being drawn to me like I was to him.

We ended the kiss and I looked up into his eyes, his emotions mirrored my own, I think. Then again I don't think I can think right now.

“Is that what you wanted kitten? Is that what you still want?”

I just nodded my head slowly and leaned back up to his lips.

[got_the_spark]

I couldn't believe what I just bloody did. Such passion such lust filled my body for the witch. What was it with her, why was I so drawn to her?

I looked deep within her orbs, I could feel myself being pulled even further in by her. She leaned back up to my lips and just stopped. With in the next second are lips were pressed against each others again. I lightly ran my digits up her arms and around her neck. It seemed as if my lips couldn't part from hers.

I ended the kiss with a soft kiss to the lips and slowly pulled back. "How do you feel 'bout me luv?"

I didn't even have to ask to know that answer but I did anyway. Suppose I wanted to hear it from her.

[magick_goddess]

I felt his cool fingers run up my arms and up to my neck as we kissed. I put my hands on his waist and smiled slightly when he lightly kissed me before pulling back.

"How do you feel 'bout me luv?"

I bit my lip and looked up at him, my eyes searching his face to see any signs of him playing some sort of mind game. I didn't find any and I looked down for a moment before looking up at him again. "I-I know I love you - as a friend and all - but lately..." I blushed deep red and looked down, unsure of his reaction but sure that I had just firmly planted my foot in my mouth. "I-I'm sorry...I umm...I shouldn't have s-said that..."

[got_the_spark]

“Don’t take it back love.” I placed my hand upon her cheek.

“The truth is I’ve been having all these weird feelings myself.” I glance down to the ground for a second then back up at her “Figured you were all for the same, well you know. Besides I’m a bloody vampire, wouldn’t want to put up with that now would ya? The whole drinking blood, staying handsome a fit forever, not being able to go out during the day. Girl like you shouldn’t have that.”

Thought I loved the slayer once. Guess I did but she didn’t bloody want me. Always was a fool when it came to love, but this, this was new and different. I had a feeling she could actually love me, love me for me.

[sexytarawitch]

I covered my hand with his and looked up at him. He looked embarrassed, he was even cuter when he was embarrassed. Even as a vampire he got this slight blushy look on his face.

I giggled at his words and shook my head as I put my hands around his waist. "I l-like boys, never f-found one that t-turned my head...till now." I murmured softly to him before kissing him lightly. "As for putting up w-with you; I-I'm a witch, I can h-andle quite a lot. The blood t-thing." I smiled. "Witch stuff too you know." I sighed and looked up at him and touched his cheek. "A girl like me isn't good enough f-for s-so-omeone like you William." I blushed and looked down, blushing slightly.

"I'm a night person and we can worry about forever later, I like how now looks." I gave him a lopsided grin and kissed him softly before hugging him to me.

[got_the_spark]

“So I caught your fancy. Imagine that.”

I continued to listen closely so what she said but one thing caught my attention; "A girl like me isn't good enough f-for s-so-omeone like you William." Just hearing her call me by my name. A name that I wanted to forget for so long but now I wanted to hear. She made me like the name again.

“William..” I glance down at the ground “Not something I hear too often anymore. I was a different man back then.” I shake my head before looking back up at her.

"I'm a night person and we can worry about forever later, I like how now looks."

“I like how it looks now too kitten. “ I kissed her back before hugging her. The warmth of her body felt nice against mine. It seems that I always looked for love. Got to say I was love’s bitch, even though I have no soul. But still I could feel, I could love. Always wanted that completion, she might actually be able to fill that.

[magick_goddess]

"William..."

He looked down and did that blushy thing again. "You're so cute when you do that." I murmured and now it was my turn to blush when I realized I said that outloud. "A man still, just a bit more evolved. Nothing wrong with that."

He hugged me back and I smiled, tangling my fingers in his hair I pulled back and looked up at him. I trailed my finger over his cheek and smiled before leaning up and kissing him. He pressed my body closer to his and I moaned softly, feeling his cool skin against mine. I felt my body respond to his and I whimpered. "Movies at my place or yours?" I murmured against his lips before kissing him again.

I pulled back and smiled up at him. "Love you..." I blushed and looked down at my toes. I mean we've said it before to each other but now it had a new meaning. For me it did, I just wondered if it did for him...

[got_the_spark]

"You're so cute when you do that."

“Oh really now love” I began to push her back with a seductive look in my eyes. “I’m cute to ya now?” I placed a light kiss upon her lips.

"Movies at my place or yours?"

“Whichever you would prefer kitten. Got nothing holding me back from either place” I give her a smile.

"Love you..."

Couldn’t believe what I just heard. Before it was all grand in a friendship way but did she mean it differently now. I place my hand under her chin and pull her face up to look at mine. “Do you mean it love” I glance into her eyes for a few seconds before I go on “I always tend to fall for the wrong one. Don’t want that to happen again. I can be a bloody sap when it comes to this stuff, always was with the poetry. Never got much respect for my feelings. Always told I was too soft that I shouldn’t be like that. Showed them.” I smile for a moment then return to having a serious face “Tara, I love you”

[magick_goddess]

He made me look at him and I looked up into his eyes as he spoke. He might be a vampire but the man was very much still alive, so was his poet heart.

I nodded when he asked me if I meant it. "Yes, so much." I smiled slightly at him. "I like where you're soft." I murmured, I started to say something else but the look in his eyes made me stop cold.

“Tara, I love you”

I bit my lip and smiled up at him. "I love you, Spike." I leaned up and kissed him, I felt him pull me closer to him and I finally broke away from his lips when I needed to breathe and I smiled at him. "My place? My couch is comfyier..." I kissed his lips lightly again and I had a feeling the couch wouldn't be where we landed.

[got_the_spark]

“Yea, your place your house.”

I kissed her again. It was like I couldn’t keep my bloody hands off of her. I stayed deeply into her eyes for a minute then placed another kiss on her lips. “Ready love?”

I interlocked my cool digits with her warm digits and headed towards the door. I let go for a second throwing my leather duster on then reconnected with her hand. Another kiss was placed on her lips before we began to head out.

I almost felt like a new man with her by my side. Strange how things can change so much in such little time. I realized that I was walking down the street holding hands with Tara, bet the slayer and her band of Scoobies would love to see that. Be shocked like crazy. The strange thing is I didn’t care. I kept her hand in mine as we continued towards her house.
