What a good nurse Buffy is! hehehe!

Bold Spike, thinking of Buffy whilst she was in the shower *slaps his perfect arse!* lmao

MMMMMmmm, hot tubs are always of the good!

"Wee-Willy-Winky" What a great name for it! tehehehehe

Oh no, a drunk Buffy may not always be a good Buffy! Poor thing will regret this thats for sure!

I would love to be sore in all the wrong places for Spike anyday of the week!

Great update! am loving it all to pieces, can't wait for the next update tho!



Author's Response: Hahhahahah, leave it to SPike to have a moment of weakness and a quick wank. And of course drunk Buffy is always hilarious - the truth just spilling from her lips witout a second thought, lol. I'm so theilled you enjoyed this update darling, I truly am - thank you so much for the wonderful review. More to follow soon - hugs.

Brilliant, simply brilliant as always! I enjoyed Buffy taking care of her English patient. *lol* It was too funny to read how Spike milked the situation for all it was worth and how Buffy keeps denying anything he makes her feel. *giggles* She's so much in denial... almost as much as he is, that he still sees her only as shaggable.

And the time they spent in the hot tub? Pure genius, really. Buffy is too funny when she's drunk. *giggles* Don't they say children and drunk tell the truth, she certainly did, even if it sort of hurt Spike. ;)

Double guh over Spike's very hot intermission with himself. *wipes drool* And I absolutely adored the way they fell asleep in the couch and Buffy's reaction to waking in his arms and I'm so looking forward to those little tidbits you promised for the next chapter. If you can't tell, this is my favorite chapter, so far. ;) Love you, sweets. *smooches*

Author's Response: Oh yes, and you know SPike's personality - he'd milk it to the very last drop, hee hee. ANd drunk Buffy is always hilarious to write, giggles. Lots of truth rolling out of her mouth without even thinking.
Oh yes, I had to have a little 'self gratification' scene with Spike - he wants her after all, giggles.
Squeeee - glad you liked this chappy the most - it really was the most fun to write thus far - and thank you for all your help carino - it wouldn't be the same without it - luv u boo.

Love it.

Author's Response: Thanks sweety - glad you enjoyed it. Hugs.

Uh-huh... Spike was at Buffy's place? The carpet did suffer already...
Great update again :) I had fun reading what happened when they both had rented the same place and Buffy's revenge / bad conscience. And Buffy seeing Spike in a different light even before he let her stay.
That opens even more opportunities for Murphy's law to strike ;-)

Author's Response: Giggles- you know me, throwing in an evil twist to get them cohabitating. Yeha, she feels bad about him being sick, but he did sort of derserve it. SHe'll take good care of him though, I promise. And yes, Murphys' Law has yet to wreak more havoc on them, *winks*. Thanks for the review dalring - smooches to you my friend.

That is quite a twist. And now they're living together, too. Glad Spike is being a bit understanding. Always more fun to be had, can't wait for the next update.

Author's Response: Giggles - it was the only wasy I could think to get them living together, snickers. ANd yeah, Spike isn't all heartless, I promise. I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the chappy and thanks for the review darling. Huggles.

Wow, what a way to get them into that 24/7 state - and Mr. Trick - bloody brilliant as well as using the Mayor from btvs as the real landlord. Update soon please, dying to see how Buffy will play nursemaid. Awesome chapter.

Author's Response: THanks hon - I couldn't resist using a couple other minor characters for this particular chapter. ANd of course Buffy will be nursing Spike back to health as promised - hope you enjoye that chapter once I post it. Thanks again for the review sweety - hugs.

Fabulous chapter. Anyone who gives up watching Blood Ties to work is in serious trouble. Hehe. I can't wait to see how they go having to work and live together. I really liked the softer side of Spike we got to see in this chapter too.

Author's Response: LOL - god I love me some Henry and BT. MMMMMMMM, they BETTER bring it back next season. GLad you liked Spike's softer side - he's in there, just hard to coax out sometimes. Thanks for the review babe - hugs.

I am enjoying the fun in this one as much as your "In the Army Now".

Author's Response: YAY, I'm so glad you are. There are definetly some parallels between the two stories, but of course this setting is so very different and I have tons of tricks up my sleeve for it too, *winks*. Thanks for the review hon, huggles.

And another classy banner!

Sorry I'm reviewing so late today...getting over a weekend bug.

Served him right to get a cold, as much of an ass as he's been since he showed up. And they got scammed! I was wondering how you were going to stick them in the same place. (And by Trick, LOL) Wilkins is the landlord...ha ha ha..... Now, I'm just waiting for the realities of living in the same space to hit......the habits we all have at home. Who
s the sloppy one, and who takes out the garbage.....he's already thrown out her food in the fridge, so that's one boundary already crossed....let's see, wet towels in the bathroom, leaving the seat up.......I have a feeling Buffy has a lot of training to do of spoiled little rich boy!

Can't wait to see how the weekend goes with Nurse Buffy and the English Patient.

Author's Response: Aw, I do hope you're better now - getting sick sucks. Hee hee, he did kind of deserve that cold after being so mean to Buffy, but she'll nurse him back to health regardless - they both do have soft spots despite what they put each other thru. LMFAO - on your comment over whose the sloppy one vs the neat one - bet you know the answer to that already. ANd I'm glad you liked how I 'Tricked' them into living together - I couldn't resist, just couldn't. Thank you so very much for the awesome review and I think you're going to like the next chapter even more, *winks*. Hugs you tight.

I FREAKIN LOVE LAMBRUSCO!!!!! God, it's the best drink...get drunk in no time at all! And Blood Ties....mmmmm Henry....but he's not as good as Spike. Very sneaky getting them in the same apartment, evil Mr Trick! Or should I say "Mrs Trick?" Uh huh. I'm so glad you updated! And that is sooo cool you liked Toccata in Fugue! I absolutely love that piece! It will definitely be interesting to see what goes on while Buffy is playing 'nurse' to Spike. And gah, I LOVED that scene where he's curled up on her chest and she's watching him....my stomach went flip flop! UGH! MORE! Oh and thanks for updating too... forgot to mention that :D

Author's Response: OMG - yet another thing we share... I love Lambrusco too. Ahhhhhhh, Henry goodness - irresistable in my opinion, he's a hunka hunka burnin luv. YAY, I'm so glad you liked the update and oh yes, toccata and Fugue is my fav piece to play on the piano - love me some Bach and of course baroque in general. Oooooo, got the flip-flops in the tummy goin when he was in her lap huh??? THen you're going to LOVE the next chapter, *winks*. THank for the review babe, luv ya my sista.

I'm guessing the friendliness and acts of being civil toward one another will not last too long huh? Oh and poor Spike with being out in the freezing cold. Will we soon find out why Buffy is ...well the way that she is to guys like Spike? Sensing there is more to her story.

And being roomies? Hahaha...that has potential for disaster all over the place. Two thick headed people thrown together by the forces of nature to live in an apartment could only lead to two things....sex...or a whole lot of yelling and on the verge of killing.

And who thinks there home life is going to splash on over to how their work life is? I do, I do, I do!!!

Author's Response: That's a pretty safe bet - but they will adjust, I mean they have to, but the adjustment period will be a tad bumpy, *winks*. As for finding out about Buffy - you bet, her 'story' will come out soon as to the reason why she is the way she is. Oh yes, their life will splash over into their professional life - it can't be helped, LOL. Glad you liked tha chapter hon and thanks for the review. Hugs you tight.

Im absolutely loving this story. The humour, the UST, the banter. More soon pretty please.

Author's Response: THat's awesome, I'm so pleased you're enjoying every aspect of the story - I particularly love writing comedy. Thanks so much for the review hon - smooches to you.
