Willow gawked.
She couldn't force sounds from her mouth,
the words wouldn't budge. She
sat
staring at him, at the relevation that had been confessed, her lips
slightly
parted.
She looked beautiful to Spike. Even that
semi-stupid look on her face
made
her that more appealing.
"Me?" She squeaked.
"No. Not you." Spike chuckled. "The other
redhead that sits with me day
and
night."
"Oh. Makes sense." Willow bit her lip.
"This is a lot. A lot of
information." She looked up. "I think I'm going to throw up."
Spike frowned. "I always did have a way with the ladies."
"But...but you're a vampire..." She struggled.
"Right, pet, hence the fangs and blood-slurping." He offered patiently.
"Wow. Secret. Big one." She drew a hand
to her mouth. "I feel bad. I've
been
moaning about Oz the past month and you've had a crush on me."
"Slow down, Willow, I don't expect you
to act on it. It's a bit silly,
I
realize, me acting like a schoolboy of sorts. But I had to say it, I
couldn't help it anymore." He paused. "What happens now? You're call,
luv."
Willow looked up, a tiny smile passing
over her lips. Her stare
returned to
his.
"Well, we are under the mistletoe."
