Pairing: Spike/Xander
Rating: R for this chapter just to be safe
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my original characters and the plot
Summary: 'Sometimes love takes the long route and the important thing is to wait.'
A/N: Inspired by the line from the song Center of Attention....."I will wait a lifetime and I will wait for you,"
