Willow lay awake staring at the ceiling. Spike's arm was around her waist, his right hand cupping her breast. He was asleep. She couldn't believe everything that had happened since Wednesday. It was amazing. She was feeling rather sleepy and new she should catch a few hours while she could. She HAD to make it to her classes today. She had cut them all yesterday. She and Spike were supposed to meet Buffy and Xander at the Bronze tonight. They were curious to know what was happening between her and the blond vamp. She, herself, was a bit curious. He had been surprisingly gentle, yet she could feel the turmoil he was going through. He had almost lost his control last night. She could feel a blush coming as she remembered how.

(I guess I'm just a hussy...) She yawned and snuggled closer to her lover, letting sleep take her.

**********

(What....Where? The library. OH NO! Drusilla....) Willow took a few deep breaths. She had forgotten that the vampiress had told Spike she wanted to meet Willow. She slowly walked to the center of the room. Spike was not there. She heard a rustling sound behind her and turned. It was Drusilla.

(Goddess, she's beautiful.) Dru was wearing an old fashioned gown and had a quizzical look in her eyes. Willow edged away from her, frightened.

"I don't bite...." a soft voice said. "Well, that is, I've all ready eaten and this is just a dream." Drusilla laughed lightly.

"Come, sit down beside me. We have much to talk about." Willow looked in the vampire's eyes, surprised to see them soften.

(She almost appears sane...) She took step forward and Drusilla smiled brightly. "Yes, sit with me."

Willow took a seat across the table from her, still a bit on edge.

Dru, sensing her fear, remarked casually, "He's quite a lover isn't he?" Willow could feel the blush start. Dru leaned forward, watching the color spread across the girl's face.

She smiled. "I knew you were the one. Miss Edith told me that it was the red head."

Willow was unsure what to say, so she spoke from her heart, "Thank you for ....well, the dreams ... Spike...and everything." Dru studied her.

"I like you. Let me tell you about the party I went to yesterday......"

The women conversed for what seemed like hours. Willow completely forgot that Drusilla was not only a vampire but the love of her lover's afterlife.

(She seems so happy. Not psychotic at all...Well, not often. If she talks about the wind conversing with her again, I may change that opinion..)

Drusilla stood and took Willow's hand in hers. She stared into her eyes. "I really do like you. You're fun. Because of that, I must warn you. Never forget who Spike is." Willow watched as Dru's eyes took on a faraway look, remembering.

"He can be so tender and wonderful....then he can be so cruel. He started out sweet with me. It was mostly to make Angelus jealous, in the beginning. After Angelus left, I discovered that Spike was just like him, in a lot of ways. He loves to play games...he likes to naughty things too....you all ready know that. He hasn't been bad to you yet...I can sense that... he loved to make me cry when he felt hurt...he'd try to hurt me too. His demon is very strong. Just know, if he hurts you, it is out of love. He does love you." Willow sat back absorbing what she had heard.

(Dru seems convinced that he will end up hurting me someway. Oh Goddess, what if she is right?) Dru watched the emotions flicker over the teenager's face.

"Willow....be happy. He belongs to you. Just don't hurt him and you will be fine. I have to go now. It was such fun talking with you. I shall have Spike bring you to France so we can go shopping. I'll buy you such pretty dresses." Drusilla leaned over and kissed Willow's cheek. "Be good to him." She said before she disappeared. Willow woke up.

(I'm hungry....) She snuck out of Spike's embrace and left the room. She hadn't eaten since the previous afternoon. She also wanted time to consider what Drusilla had told her.
