Maybe it's just my imagination, but the air seems a little bit fresher and the sun seems a little bit brighter today... it certainly beats hell out of anticipating some disaster waiting to happen. I walked down to the Espresso Pump before I opened up this morning; Xander wasn't at work yet ( Read more... )

I considered going downstairs just as I was (in the altogether), but I thought that might be just a bit much, depending on who Rupert's other visitor was. There was a time he would have found someone else's discomfiture as hysterically funny as I would, but his sense of humour seems to have atrophied... well, thank goodness that's the only thing ( Read more... )

Strange child... perhaps that's why I can conceive a fondness for him (that won't quit stretch to inveigling him into bed, but one can have everything). He still wants to help the girl who hurt him so much. How peculiar.

Of course, loving someone who's done nothing but hurt me for over 20 years, who am I to talk?

Sprites are a species of magickal fauna indigenous to Britain.
They were almost hunted to extinction in the 17th and 18th
centuries on the orders of the London Watchers' Council. This is
yet another instance of the Council getting things
completely arse-backwards. Demons, not
humans, are sprites' natural prey. They were part of the ( Read more... )

I wish I could just tell Rupert I still love him, sink into his arms, and let him hold me until the morning came (after we already had done, several times). It's a lovely fantasy, but I'd' be a fool to believe it could ever happen. For a few moments, when things are going well enough, I can allow myself to pretend that it's still possible. I may be ( Read more... )

Thank the gods. The little blonde Slayer did say something about Spike after all, so that I don't have to. It isn't as if I don't like a bit of the rough. As a matter of fact, I kept standing behind Rupert's chair as long as I did because I was thinking about how much I do like it, but there is a difference between being hurt for fun and being hurt ( Read more... )

Aside from being the worst-designed kitchen I've ever seen, Rupert's does have the virtue of being able to hear everything going on in the living room from it. One thing I hadn't heard Buffy mention was Spike, the vampire who brought her (the girl really *does* have a fetish for the cold ones, doesn't she?). I wondered if I ought to, if she didn't ( Read more... )

What started out as a lark at the magic shop has definitely taken a turn for the perverse. If I'm not mistaken, I think I might have inadvertently convinced a rather vacuous, though very attractive (and quite often amusing) girl who goes to the high school Rupert works at to fall in love. With me!I am on the verge of calling Rupert and pleading ( Read more... )
