stars flash signals from me to you, do you see them
The very first thing I tried to do this morning is try and ignore Spike and Ava when they were making googly eyes at each other all throughout breakfast. Spike made waffles for us which he's only made me once in the ten years that we've been living together and even then I think it was my birthday. It didn't take a genius to figure out what exactly had gone in the sand while they were gone. I'm trying really hard not to be bitter. I just miss him so much.
After breakfast Spike went to bed to catch some sleep and Ava and I went upstairs to check the machine and emails to see if we had any appointments or clients for the day. I really was hoping that the courier would come by with our big fat check from Gwen. After all that Ava had been through and Spike along with her I thought that Ava definitely needed some retail therapy. Plus, Spike asked me to take her out to buy plant type stuff. I'm sure there would be other things to buy besides plants while we were out.
Checked the messages and got the one from Xander about inviting Spike, Wes, and I to Sol's surprise birthday party. I guess I could go but I knew that Wes wouldn't be coming unless of course he somehow mysteriously showed up before the weekend. Spike I wasn't sure on but maybe Ava would go with me if Spike wasn't in the party mood. I'm sure that he'd go if Ava wanted to go then I'd be fifth wheel or third wheel or whatever it's called when you are the third instead of the fifth in a couple like situation. I called Xander back and left a message on his voice mail since he didn't answer letting him know that I was for sure a go. Wesley was a no go. Spike was a maybe and I asked if Ava could come to since she said that she'd want to go.
After hanging up on that call I checked my email and saw there was a message from Gwen. She said that she had already deposited all of the money into our business account. I went to our bank account website and looked at the balance in our checking account. Holy shit! I didn't think that I had ever seen so many zeros in my life. She paid us a little more than we bargained on. Actually five million dollars more. Went back to the email from her and there was a p.s. at the bottom that I had missed. P.S. Due to the mess up on my part I put some extra in there for Wes if you want him to have a cut when he gets back from his "business trip/vacation." Or keep it for yourselves, I'll never tell. I almost couldn't wait until Spike got up so I could tell him the news. I told Ava and it was pretty much lost on her since our money was completely foreign to her.
Then I called Cordy at her office to see if she had time to go shopping with us and to find out whether or not she was going to the shindig. I hoped she was. I didn't want to be one of the only people from this "world" to be going. That is, if Spike wasn't going to go. And, maybe she'd have an idea what we could get Sol as a present. Since I hardly knew her. Cordy probably hardly knew her but she was always better at thinking up present ideas than I was. I left a message for her to call me when she got in.
Then, on impulse, I called Buffy's cell phone. There was no answer. So, I called Tara.
