I tossed and turned all night long and barely got any sleep. I felt so bad for making Spike stop, but I just...wasn't ready. I was, for all intense purposes, a virgin and I just felt that I should get to know who I am before I gave myself to Spike...or anyone for that matter. I watched Spike sleep at one point during the night. He didn't sleep long

Things are awkward afterwards, I get Fred some breakfast, bully a demon into fetching for us. Can tell she's embarrassed about last night. Probably just glad it never went any further. Not with me at any rate. What do I have to offer her anyway? I'm dead, have a pesky drinking problem and an highly combustible in sunlight. Why do I keep doing this to myself?
We head back into the sewers, hardly speaking to each other. I don't know what to say to break the tension, and she seems happy just to let things lie. Better not to make a big deal out of nothing right?
"Spike...we should probably talk..." I turn around, unsure about what she wants to talk about, but before I can say a word she yells for me to look out, and tackles me out of the way, just in time to see a big metal pipe with ( ... )

He snarled in my ear, "You're gonna taste great, bitch." I saw a piece of wood on the floor by his foot as he started to go to my neck, so I stomped on his foot, elbowed him in the stomach, turned and kicked him in the junk, and when he bent over I chopped him as hard as I could in the throat. He fell over backward and I grabbed the piece of wood. Jumping on him I jabbed the wood in his chest before he had a chance to looked shocked.
I turned around and saw Spike fighting with the other one. He wasn't in trouble, but I didn't want him to end up that way, "Spike!" He turned and I tossed him the wood.

I try to get leverage to either knee him in the gut or elbow his back but it's tougher than I'd bargained for.
Then I see the other vamp go after Fred, he has her by the hair.
"Oh, balls!" I yell, trying to push the big guy off of me to get to her. Then the vamp she's with doubles over in pain and I know what she's done. Good job! I chuckle at that, and concentrate on my own attacker. He pulls back puzzled at my laughter which gives me the just enough room to get in two jabs to his ribcage. He stumbles back with a grunt, then takes a swing at me. I duck under the arm easily, he's strong but not as quick as I am.
"Spike!" I turn in time to catch the piece of wood Fred chucks at me with my right hand. I start to play with it, spin it in my hand and grin cockily at the vampire who now looks a less sure of the fight ( ... )

Look at her, grinning, face all aglow with the rush of the kill. She walks towards me, her eyes bright and pulse racing in her slender throat. Reaches up to touch my cheek and kiss my lips.
I hold stock still, closing my eyes and savouring the moment, not wanting to break it. Not wanting to make her panic, like last night.
"Sorry...I just...it was something I felt like I had to do."
She's sorry? Christ woman, I wish she'd do more things like that to be sorry over. Just looking at her blush is enough to make me want to throw caution to the winds and pull her into a clinch with me again. But I daren't do it. She's not ready. Tread carefully, Spike.
"Say something...please? It makes me nervous when you look at me like that...among other things." "You've gone all rosy in the face. I like that." I mumble, just to say something. Sounds a bit silly, but I can still feel her lips pressing against mine. Hard to focus on coherent sentences right now ( ... )

"And back there, that was just...you handled yourself well, Fred. 'Spose that earlier lesson stuck, eh?"
I shrugged, feeling the tension ease, and smiled, "Well, I had a pretty good teacher." I turned and started walking back down the sewer, in the direction we were heading before. "So what is this watcher's council thing? Why do they care so much about you and Cordy and the rest of them?"
He was walking next to me now. I could tell his eyes were alert to anything in the sewer...probably didn't want another surprise attack. I wanted to stop and push him against the wall and make him tell me if he like the kiss and if he did to do it again. But, I just didn't think that would go over so well.

I glance down at her. Was she still the same Fred we used to know? Maybe not. But it was her soul in there and not something else inhabiting her body like big Blue.
I make a show of keeping a look out for more trouble but what I really want to do is kiss her again. See if I could make her blush again. But then we get to the steps of the basement.
"Uh, well. I guess we'd better go on up and check on the others." I lick my lips and wonder if I should just do it, lean in and - god I'm acting like I was on a date with her. Fool.
I turn around and head up the steps, trying to hide how stupid I feel.
