Buffy, Joyce Summers said looking at her daughter with sympatric eyes. Your Father, Dawn, andI as well as the OConnells are going to be gone for an entire week.. We all just prefer that you and

Angel stay in the same house in case something should happen, she explained as she zipped hermidnight black suit case.Nothing is going to happen, Buffy stated flopping down in her fathers brown leather chair next toher parents King size bed. I dont need him, she said firmly. All he ever does is saying horriblethings about me, and treats me like a little kid. Im just as old as he is Hello Angelus OConnell is aegotistic jerk, she pointy stated.Buffy and Angel had grown up together. Joyce Summers and Mary OConnell had been bestfriends while attending University of New York, both on Art scholarships. They had ended upmarrying two best friends Hank Summers and Harry OConnell. After college both Joyce and Maryhad gotten job offers at a Commercial Company designing Ad Campaigns in Los Angeles. Hankand Harry having took Business in college started up their own Computer Company, which turnedout to be very successful. Then two years after both family moved to LA Buffy and Angel had beenborn, both two months apart. Angel had been born first. Ever since they could talk Buffy and Angelnever got along. One would always say or do something that bugged the other one, therefore,causing an argument. They had some of the same friends and that didnt always go over well fortheir friends.Buffy, Angel, is staying here for the week, while we are in the Bahamas. Now I want you to studyfor your finals, and treat Angel with kindness, Mrs. Summers instructed smiling at her husband ashe walked into the room.Why? Buffy asked. Hes always mean to me, she stated again. Daddy, cant you just write me anote saying I cant take my finals and then I can go with you, please, she begged giving her fathera little puppy dog look, that usually got her what she wanted. However, this was one time thatlooked didnt work.No, Buffy, Mr. Summers said smiling down at his oldest. Youll just have to get along with

Angelus, he said. Speaking of which, Mary, Harry, and Katie are here, Mr. Summers told his wifeas he took her huge black suitcase in his hand. They are ready to go, are you? he asked his wife.Yes, I am, Mrs. Summers answered. You have the plan tickets, right? she asked her husband.

Got them right here, Mr. Summers answered as he padded his dark green dress shirt. Buffy,Angelus is here too. I want you too show him to his room, please, Mr. Summers said turning to hisdaughter.Fine, Buffy said not liking the idea, but obeying her father never the less.Thats my girl, Mr. Summers said giving his golden blond head, green eye daughter a hug. Takecare and well be back on Saturday, so dont kill Angelus, he said with teasing in his voice.I wont, Buffy promised. Easier said then done. she thought to herself as she gave her mother ahug as well.

Hey, Shortie, Angel OConnell said when he spotted Buffy behind her parents as they came downthe stairs.

Angelus, Mr. OConnell said in a warning tone. You be nice to her this week, got it? he askedfirmly making it clear that Angel better mind his manners.,Yes, Sir, Angel said simply. Ill be really nice to her, he said giving Buffy a fake smile.Sure hell be nice to me. So nice Ill never want to let him go, Buffy shot back sarcastically.Lets go before they let their claws out, fourteen year old Dawn Summers said standing besidethirteen year old Katie OConnell.Have fun, Angel said waving his parents, little sister and the Summers all out the door.

Buffy smiled and waved to them until they were in their cars and on their way to the airport.Shutting the door, Buffy gave Angel a quick annoying look before turning to go into the beautifuldecorate living room. She flopped down on her soft red recliner and grabbed the television remote.

Angel came in and flopped down beside her on the matching loveseat, Arent you suppose toshow me to my room, or is all the dye you use to dye your hair infecting your memory, he teasedearning a glare from Buffy.Look lets get something straight here, you stay out of my way and Ill stay out of y ours, Buffysaid simply turning off the television. Ill show you too your room, she said getting up.Lead the way, Miss Slayer, Angel said using his nickname for Buffy. Ever since they where little

Angel had thought of Buffy as an outgoing person therefore Slayer fit her, not to mention she hadslayed a few hearts since she hit purpety.Dont call me that, Guardian Angel, Buffy shot back using her nickname for Angel.Youre in a good mood I see, Angel said. What? Are you on you Period? he asked laughing.Heres your room, Buffy said annoyed already with Angels comments about her. Ill fix supper atseven if you want anything else then fix it yourself, she said before turning and heading back

downstairs.

Jerk, Buffy thought as she stirred the homemade Chicken Noodle soup she had made. Why hecant go annoy someone else is completely beyond me.Hey, Slayer, said Angel as he walked ten minutes later as he walked into the red and whitekitchen to find Buffy fixing dinner. Whats for dinner.Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup, Buffy replied shortly.Its not poison is it? Angel teased earning him a smack on the arm from Buffy. Just kidding, hestated as he rubbed his shoulder.Then kid less, Buffy said turning to the stove to put the soup on it to cook.How are you and Spike doing lately? asked Angel as he sat down at the Summers white kitchentable.We broke up like a month ago, Buffy answered softly.He finally woke up, huh? Angel teased. He and Spike William had been friends in middle and

grade school, but when Spike started dating Buffy last year Angel saw him less and they just driftedapart.Shut up, Buffy snapped all of a sudden. For your information I dumped him, she stated turningwith her hands on her hip to look at Angel. He cheated on me with Drusilla Crazy bones. No onecheats on me, she pointed out before turning back to the stove.Sorry, Angel said kindly surprising Buffy.He never apologizes to me, Buffy thought as she added seasoning into the soup. What is he uptoo? she wondered turning to look at Angel, who at the moment was setting the table. Whats hedoing?I can feel her looking at me, Angel though as he sets the table. Shes kind of cute standing therecooking, he suddenly thought causing him to shake his head. What am I thinking? This is spoiledbrat Buffy, Im thinking about.Thanks for setting the table, Buffy said brushing a piece of her long curly golden blonde hairbehind her ear.No problem, Angel said.

Buffy placed the now cooked soup on the table and the two ate it in silence.

PART 2Monday:Angel, time for school, Buffy yelled knocking on the guest room door.Buffy had on her blue and yellow cheerleading uniform for the game that day. She had curled herhair in spiral curls and had put it up in a blue hair tie. She was in a hurry to get to school to talk toher best friend and fellow cheerleader friend Willow Rosenburg before class started. However,since Angel had over slept and he was suppose to be giving her a ride this week it didnt look likethat was going to happen.

Angel OConnell, get your butt out of bed right now, Buffy firmly yelled through the door. If youdont Im coming in, she threatened.When she got no answer after standing there for five minutes, she opened his door and marchedright in, Angel, I saidOhoh... Mysorry, Buffy said when she noticed she had walked in on

Angel getting out of the shower. Her face turned a beat red as she turned her back to the towel onlycovered Angel, Sorry, she apologized again completely embarrassed.

Angel smiled at her embarrassment, Its okay, he said making Buffy feel a little less embarrass.

Girls tell me I have the cutes birthmark on my, he started to tease.Finish that sentence and I will so kick your butt, Buffy threatened.Are we embarrassed, Slayer, Angel said coming up from behind Buffy turning her around to facehim.Buffys blush got bigger when she noticed she was looking down and had caught a glimpse on hisprivate area. Her head shot up and her emerald green eyes met Angels chocolate brown ones.She felt her breath catch all of a sudden as Angel smiled down at her.Kiss me, her mind yelled, Angel, Ill wait for you outside, she said confused with her last thought.Had she really just wanted him to kiss her? N o, it was just the position they were in. Ill meet youthere, she said still blushing before backing up to the door, and rushed out of it.

What is wrong with me? Buffy asked herself. Hes my enemy.Buffy shook her head to clear her thoughts before heading downstairs to watch television while shewaited on Angel to get ready. Fifteen minutes later Angel came into the living room wearing hisfootball jersey and blue jeans pants.

Ready? he simply asked, causing Buffy to look up at him.Lets go, Buffy said grabbing her back pack. You know it took longer for you to get ready then itdid for me, whats that about? she asked in a teasing tone as she opened the front door andheaded out followed by Angel.Someone used all the hot water, he said giving Buffy a pointed look as they got into his black1964 Mustang convertible.Poor Baby, replied with amusement in her voice as she got in. Are you as Hemery Highsquarterback ready to kick some Blair butt, asked Buffy refering to Hemerys rival the Blair Bears.Theyre a tough team, Angel confessed, but were better, Angel stated sound cocky. I have twofinals today and then I get to practice until game time, he confessed. The coach had managed toget him and the rest of the team out of their classes that they werent taking finals in that day, sothey could practice.I have one final, but the cheerleaders and dance team get out of their classes too. So we canpractice our routines, Buffy said strangely feeling comfortable having a normal conversation with

Angel. This is weird, she thought.Hows cheerleading? asked Angel as he pulled into Hemery Parking lot.Its good, Buffy answered. Angel, did we just have a normal conversation? Buffy asked wantingto make sure she just didnt image it.Yeah, yeah we did, Angel said surprised himself.Just then the bell rang and the two took off in opposite directions.

Have you killed Angel yet? Willow Rosenburg asked Buffy later that night as the cheerleaderswere stretching for the game in fifteen minutes.No, strangely we had a decent conversation on the way to school, Buffy told her red headed bestfriend. He even apologizes last night about Spike and I breaking up.Weird, Cordelia Chase, the Co-Captain of the cheerleading squad said sitting down beside Willowand Buffy.Tell me about it, Buffy agreed as she bent stretched her legs by standing up and starting to dohigh kicks. It was probably one of his better moments. Ten bucks say that by later tonight hell be

back to Buffy your short Whats wrong Buffy can get a date I mean seriously if Angel ever reallydid change it would be a miracle, she stated simply.Or it be because he was in love, Willow said sharing a smile with Cordelia.Angel, it love! Buffy exclaimed. Give me a break Willow. If he ever loved anyone outside hisfamily it would totally shock the heck out of me, she said finishing her high kicks. Come on, shesaid grabbing her pom pons, its time to go out on the field to do the Spirit Dance with the DanceTeam.Willow and the rest of the cheerleaders followed their leader down the steps and out onto the field.

Angel, Charles Gunn yelled into Angels ear making the Quarterback jump.What? he asked turning towards his best friend. Did you say something? he asked.I asked how things were going staying with Buffy. Have you chocked her yet? he teased. He knewthe cute little blonde got on his best friends nerves. He just wished that they would both wake-upand see why they really were fighting all the time.No, not yet, Angel asked placing a smirk on his face, but its only been a day, Im sure by the endof the week Ill want to choke her though, he confessed.

Poor Angel, Xander Harris, other one of Angels friends said patting him on the back. It must berough having to stay with such a hot girl, he joked.Shes not hot, Angel stated. Beside if youre not careful someone might tell your girlfriend thatyou think her friend is hotter then she is, Angel pointed out as the coach yelled to the team to lineup.Cordelia knows I love her, and that I think Buffy is hot, Xander confessed aa put on his helmet.Does she like it? Gunn asked.No, Xander answered earning him laughs from his friends.Lets go kick butt, Gunn said loudly earning yeahs from the whole team.

That was a great game, Buffy said later that night as she rode home with Angel.Hemery had dominated the Blair Bears 49 to 21. She had never cheered so hard in her life. Buffyhad been really impressed with Angels playing, he was good there was no doubt, but tonight it justseemed like he was trying to prove something, she just didnt know what.You played better then I have ever seen you play, commented Buffy when the silence started to

bug her.Thanks, I just had a lucky night, Angel said, surprised that Buffys comment could actually makehim feel good inside. What is the matter with me? he asked himself. Looked like Spike was tryingto talk to you at half time, he said referring to the bleach blonde ex-friend.He wanted me back, but I said no, Buffy explained.Why? I thought you loved him, Angel curiously said as he pulled into the Summers parkinggarage.Like I said no one cheats on me. Plus I dont love him, she confessed truthfully. It was just acrush, and him cheating on me with Drusilla, who by the way he is still seeing, just woke me up tothat fact, she explained.He wanted to two time her with you, after he two time you with her? Angel asked in disbelief as heand Buffy got out of his car and headed inside.Pretty much, said Buffy turning on the lights in the kitchen as Angel locked the door to the garage.He thinks he a gift to woman, like we should all bow down and kiss his feet because he might do

something sweet once and then boom back to being a jerk, she ranted opening the cabinet thatheld the glasses.Is that how you see me? asked Angel suddenly as he sat down at the kitchen bar.What? Buffy asked turning around in disbelief. Angel, II see you as...As what? Angel asked shocked that a part of him cared what Buffy thought of him. When did thishappen? the other part of him demanded. The morning, the other half confessed.Buffy looked down at her shoes in deep thought. What should I say? Should I tell him hes mean,rude, and bossy to me all the time? She asked herself. Or should I tell him how badly I wanted himto kiss me the morning?Buffy? Angel prompted standing up and walked over so he was right in front of Buffy.I dont know, she said looking up at Angel now with confusion written all over her face. I dontknow, all I ever know you to be to me was mean, and now I, she began but stopped.You what? he asked suddenly very interested.Nothing, Buffy said suddenly and turned away from him.Grabbing her water Buffy headed out of the kitchen and up to her room.

What am I thinking? She wondered. I cant feel that way about him. He would never return thefeeling.

PART 3TUESDAY:It was just a surprise that he did that! Buffy exclaimed as she and Willow walked into their fifthperiod History class.Are you sure he didnt get replaced by a pod person or something else? asked Willow equal asshocked as Buffy. When Buffy had first told her what Angel had done the morning it shocked theheck out of her.


5/11

He told me I looked beautiful, Will, Angel has never said that and actually sounded like he meantit, replied Buffy as she flopped down in her seat by Willow. Hes definitely not a pod person, Buffystated as a slight blush graced her cheeks. Not after what I walked in on again the morning shethought shyly to herself.This time Angel had been in the shower, and when Buffy went to open the curtain to see if she hadaccidentally left the water running, lets just say she got an eye full. Not to mention an overwhelming urge said to jump into the shower with him.

Then maybe something changed, suggested Willow as she looked up noticing Angel, who wasacross the room talking to Xander, stealing looks at her best friend.Like what? Buffy asked not sure what Willow could be talking about. I havent noticed anythingelse besides me around him, and no one changes that fast, she pointed out.

Angel, Man, she going to catch you looking, Xander pointed out when he noticed his friend keptstealing long glances at Buffy Summers. You know the way youre looking at her makes mewonder, if you really do hater her or if its the other way around, he said slyly causing Angels headto snap back around at his last comment.I do not like her, like that, Angel stated firmly. I just happen to wonder what she is telling Willow,he said simply. Liar, a voice inside Angel said. You cant get over what happen the morning. Youwanted to pull her into that shower with you the minute she looked up at you with her cute littlegreen eyes, it said.Hey, Gunn said walking over to his two friends. Hows it hanging? he asked.Good, Angel, is bitten by the lust bug for Buffy Summers, but then we already knew that, Xander

joked earning a laugh from Gunn and a death glare from Angel.I do not like her, stated Angel firmly for the second time that day. Turning around Angel sat downin his seat determined to pay attention to class and to ignore his urge to look at Buffy in her tightlittle black tank top and short black skirt that had rose designs all over it. She looks like an angel.How come I have never noticed that before? he wondered, and then metal smack himself forthinking such a thing.His inter thoughts stopped the minute the teacher came into the room and started class.

After school Buffy once again caught a ride with Angel home. It was a silent ride home. Then it wassilent as the watched television for two hours. Finally feeling like she was going to lose her mind ifsomeone didnt talk soon, Buffy decided to talk.Angel, she said shutting off the television. Can I ask you something? she wondered.

Angel turned to look at Buffy in wonderment at the idea that she wanted to ask him something,Sure, Shoot, he simply answered.

First off Im sorry about walking into the shower on you again, she started as a tinted blushstained her cheeks at the memory of his nice hard body came into her mind. Second of all whenyou told me I looked beautiful the morning, and then last night when you wanted to know what Ireally thought about you, why did you want to know? she asked curiously brushing her hair backbehind her ear, it was a nervous habit she had, when she was nervous. Right now, she wascompletely nervous about what Angel was going to say, and she couldnt quite figure out why.I, Angel stuttered. Just tell her the truth, a voice inside his head yelled. What if she doesnt likeme? another part of his mind wondered.Why is he taking so long to answer: Buffy wondered even more nervous now then she wasbefore? Is it really a joke, does he really hate me? she thought as a wave of sadness washed overher. Please, dont let him say that, a part of her begged.I care what you think, Angels voice said pulling Buffys attention back to him.You do? asked Buffy surprised, while her insides sighed in relief. Its not a joke!I do, Angel said getting up the courage to stand up, and walk over to where Buffy was sitting onthe love seat. I care what you think a lot, actually, he finished sitting down beside her.

Why? Buffy asked as a smile started to light her face. I thought you hated me, she pointed outturning to look Angel straight on.I dont hate you, I know you hate me, but, Angel started to explained.I dont hate you, replied cutting Angel off. In fact, she said taking a deep breath and gathered hercourage, I like you, she confessed. I dont know when or how that came to be, but I do.I dont know either, Angel spoke up, but I like you too, I like you, in the I like to take you out fordinner Thursday night since, he explained courageously taking Buffys hand into his. That is if youwould like too, he added his voice full of hope.Buffy was a taken back at first, learning that he was feeling the same way she was floored her, butshe was happy, in fact, she was ecstatic, I would love to go to dinner with you Thursday night, she


6/11

answered smiling.Thats great, Angel said sighing a sigh of relieve. After school Thursday well come home andchanged and then Ill take you to any rest rant you want to go to, he offered a smiling adoring hisface as well.Okay, Buffy agreed shyly. I bettergo do my homework now, but Ill be back downstairs later,she said starting to stand up, but at the last minute she turned around and planted a kiss on

Angels cheek, before standing back up and heading to her room.

I cant believe I am going out with him, Buffy thought later that night as she and Angel sat on thelove seat watching Knotting Hill. It was one of her favorites and after listing reasons why theyshould watch it, one being it was her favorite, and two being Angel thought Julia Roberts was hot,she finally convinced him to watch it with her.Hey are you cold? Angel asked Buffy when he noticed her rubbing her arms.A little, confessed Buffy lifting her head from the arm on the love seat to look at Angel. It getspretty cold in here sometimes, Mom thinks its always hot in here and so does Dawn so Daddykeeps the tempter on median, she explained sitting up.Come here, Angel said motioning for Buffy to scoot closer to him.Okay, said Buffy softly as she crawled over to Angel so she was right next to him.

Angel pulled him into his arms the minute she was in reach and held her in his warm embrace, Isthis better? he asked a blushing Buffy.Much, Buffy managed to get out before she felt his lips decent upon hers.

A shot of happiness went through them both as Angel held Buffy closer to him, and the kiss heated

up. Both were extremely surprised at these rune of events. Just last week they were calling eachother every hurtful name they could think of, and now they were clinging to each other and kissinglike they had been together forever.Angel, whats happening? Buffy asked as they pulled slightly apart so they could breath. Whatshappening between us? Just last week I could stand to be near you, and now thats all I want, sheconfessed running her hands through his soft short brown hair.I dont know, replied an equally surprised Angel. All I know is that it feels right. It feels right tohave you in my arms rather then pushing you away, he explained.It feels right to let you hold me, said Buffy softly moving her hands from running through Angelshair down to his neck. When your lips touch mine, it feels like Im floating and Ive never felt thatway before, she said as Angel laid her down on the couch so he was on the side of her.I know the feeling, Angel replied before once again brushing his lips with her soft little pink lips.Buffy and Angel continued to kiss and caress lovely until he early hours on the morning.

PART 4Wednesday:Angel and you," Willow squealed the next day at school as the cheerleaders were warming up forpractice.Yeah, Buffy replied with a goofy grin on her face. Will, it was so amazing. The way he held mewas and the kiss oh my goss! Buffy exclaimed.Buffy Anne Summers youre in love, Cordelia stated with a laugh. She always had a feeling thatBuffy and Angels meanness towards each other was just their way of flirting. Willow and she had abet on how long it would take Buffy and Angel to realize it. Since Willow had bet they would betogether by freshman year and then sophomore year, that left Cordelia with Junior and Senior year.Hah, Willow owes me thirty bucks she thought happily.I think maybe I am, Buffy agreed with Cordelia. I dont know when it happened, but I just want tobe with Angel now, she empathized lighting up like a Christmas tree.Come on Juliet, we have to start practice now, Cordelia teased as she, Willow, and Buffy stoodup.

Okay, but lets practice down by the football field, Buffy said hoping up and taking off beforeWillow or Cordelia could say a single work.Our little girl is all grown up, Cordelia joked looking at Willow.Its so sad, Willow teased back before following Buffy down the stairs.

Angel, are you alive in there? Gunn asked as wiped the mud off his face.It had rained last night and the football field was a big pile of mud and grass. The football team wasplaying a game of scrimmage to get them ready for their game against the San Francisco Pioneersnext week. Yet Angels attention wasnt on the game, rather it was on the tiny blonde that keptsneaking smiles at Angel when he wasnt looking. Gunn knew something happened last night, but


7/11

Angel hadnt gone into details of it as of yet.Yeah, sorry, Gunn, I was just, Angel said turning to his friend.Ogling Buffy, suggested Xander walking up to his friends. Whats going on between you two. Allday both of you have been smiling at one another, you chose to sit by her in all the classes youhave with her, and you havent said one mean thing about her all day, Xander pointed out. Whatthe what? he asked determined to get to the bottom of this mystery.Nothing, Buffy and I are going to dinner tomorrow night, and we kissed, Angel said simply before

taking off in the direction of his coachs command.What? Gunn and Xander yelled as they followed him.Talk, Gunn ordered the minute Xander and him caught up to Angel.

Angel continued to tell them the short version of what had happened between him and Buffy lastnight.

Ive missed you, Buffy said throwing her arms around Angels neck the minute he walked up to hiscar after school that day.Really? he teased wrapping his arms around her waist.An hour is just to long, Buffy pouted before breaking into a smile when Angel gave her a kiss.Well I see opposites do attract, a familiar British voice said interrupting Buffy and Angels kissage.Spike, go away, Buffy told her ex-boyfriend. Drusilla was looking for you fifteen minutes ago, andshe was mad. What you do sleep with another girt? she asked not really caring if he did or not.No, but if youre offering, Love, Spike said as he started to walk over to where Buffy stood still in

Angels embrace.Not going to happen, Angel said protectively. Spike, back off, and go find your crazy girlfriend,he instructed simply.OConnell, why dont you go jump off a cliff, and get your hands of my girl, Spike replied withbitterness in his voice.Im not your girl, Buffy stated simply. I never will be your girl again, and tell you the truth, I am soglad were broken up because now I have a winner, when youre just a loser, she said beforesnuggling into Angels arms.Dont expect me to take you back, when hot-shot football player breaks your heart, Spikesputtered out.Not going to happen, replied Angel as he lead Buffy over to her side of the car.Oh, shut up, Spike said before turning and taking off in a huff.That was fun, Buffy said with a wicked smile. Now lets go home and Ill fix this Italian spaghetti Ihave been dying to try, she said as her and Angel got into his car.

Lets, Angel said still grinning form the look on Spikes face. Sure at one time they had beenfriends, but Spike had turned into someone Angel didnt want to hang with.I love you, Buffy said quietly as she laid her head on Angels shoulder as he drove home.She said it so quietly and so unexpectedly Angel wasnt so sure he had heard her right, and whenshe didnt repeat it or say anything else except snuggled closer to him. He was pretty sure it washis imagination, and let it go for now. He had something to tell her, but it would be tomorrow nightwhen he did.

PART 5Thursday:What about this outfit? asked Buffy after school Thursday.She was standing in her room with Willow and Cordelia. They had come over after school to helpBuffy pick out a perfect outfit for her date with Angel that night. So far they had went through haveher expensive warobe and had found nothing that they could agree on. When they had arrivedhome, Angel told Buffy they had reservations at six, which gave her three hours to decide what she

was going to wear. Buffy had told him that would be no problem before giving him a sweet kiss onthe lips. Willow and Cordeila had had to pull her away from Angel just to get her to go pick out anoutfit. Once Angels and Buffys lips had touched Willow and Cordelia was pretty sure they wereforgotten.How about your black spaghetti Gucci dress, suggested Willow as she pulled out the dress inquestion.Do think hell like it? asked Buffy as she handed Cordelia, who was now curling her hair, a hairbrush. I want him to like it, she pointed out hopefully.Like it, or love it? Cordelia teased her friend.Love it, confessed a happy Buffy. I cant believe Im going out with Angel, she thought happily. I


8/11

am the luckiest girl in the world.Hell love it, Willow confirmed handing Buffy the dress. It shows off your legs, and just a barehint of your back, she pointed out to her smiling friend. Willow couldnt help the smile that adornedher face seeing her friend so happy about a date. True, it was a little weird that this her friend wasgoing out with Angel, but she always knew that sooner or later Buffy and Angel would wake up andfind out that all their fighting was really flirting.Okay, Buffy, your hair is done, Cordelia said laying the silver brush down.

Cordy, its perfect, Buffy said as she looked into her mirror to see what her friend had done.Cordelia had curled all of her hair in spiral curls and then clipped the curls around Buffys face backwith little baby black berets. Buffys golden hair shined as the light hit it, and it fell in waves of spiralcurls.Now go get the dress on, Cordelia instructed in her firm voice.Okay, Buffy said as she got up.Once Buffy was in her bathroom changing, Willow decided to go see how Angel was coming along.

Hi, Willow said walking into Angels room as he was tying a tie. You need help with that? sheasked.

Angel looked over at Buffys best friend with a pleading look, Please, I can not tie a tie, heconfessed as the red head took the tie from him and began to tie it. Is Buffy almost ready? heasked wondering about his little blonde girl.She is getting ready, Willow replied. Were are you taking here? she asked as she continued totie the knot in the tie.

I am taking her to Antonios, the little Italian restraint on Maine, Angel answered. Shell like it,right? he asked suddenly, as the thought that Buffy might not like Italian hit him.Shell love it, Willow assured him finishing up with his tie. She loves Italian and she loves it whenguys hold her hands before dinner, Willow told Angel.Really? Angel asked grabbing his wallet. So how do I look? he asked.You look handsome, Willow said truthfully. Buffy is going to love it.

Angel wore black dress pants with red dress shirt and matching black tie.Sir, your lady awaits, Cordelia said sticking her head in through Angels doorway.Have fun, Willow told Angel before falling Cordelia out of Angels room.This is it, Angel thought. Time to go get your girl, he thought smiling to himself.

Buffy, you look amazing, Angel said breathlessly as he saw Buffy walking down the stairs towardshim. That dress looks amazing on her, he thought.Thank you, you do as well, Buffy said returning the comment. Shall we go? she asked taking

Angels offered arm.Yes, Angel said smiling.Bye, Will, Bye, Cordy, Buffy said to her two friends as Angel swept her out the door and to his car.

Angel, this is beautiful, Buffy said impressively as looking around the beautifully decorated redand white restaurant.Im glad you like it, Angel said taking Buffys hands into his. You know, when our parents andsisters come home, theyre going to have quite a surprise, he pointed out kissing one on Buffyshands.Yeah, they will, said Buffy softly as she melted at Angels action. Im happy about it though, sheconfessed. Im happy that were not fighting anymore, and that I have you.You always will, Angel promised her, as long as you want me, he added when Buffys face lightup.Hows forever, does forever work for you? Buffy asked moving her chair closer to Angels.Forever, completely works for me, answered Angel gently before pulling Buffy softly to him in asweet kiss.Only when the waitress interrupted them with their food did Angel and Buffy notice anyone but eachother was even there. Each took turns feeding the other as the candle light on the table flicked andsoft Italian music played in the background.This is completely perfect, Buffy happily thought as she feed Angel one of her pieces of seasonchicken. My friends were right, I am in love. I am in love with Angel OConnell.Now is a good time to tell her, Angel decided as he brushed Buffys cheek lightly with his indexfigure.Buffy, I have something to tell you, began Angel in a kind loving voice.What is it, Angel? Buffy asked curiously. You can tell me anything, she stated sweetly.


9/11

I love you, Angel confessed. I have for a while now, it just I didnt think you felt the same way,and it you dont I understand, but I need you to know I love you, and I would really like for you to bemy girlfriend, he confessed pulling out something from his pocket.Buffy smiled as tears of joy fell down her face, I love you, she replied overjoyed.

Its Saturday, weresuppose to be able to sleep in late, he complained pulling the purple knitted blanket over the bothof them.

Angel, Sweetie, not that I wouldnt love to stay in your arms the whole day, but our parents aregoing to be home in less then a hour, Buffy pointed out as a smile adorned her face.What? asked Angel as he opened his eyes completely. Theyre not supposed to be home untilfour, he said sitting up.Its three now, replied Buffy laughing. We slept most of the day away, she said indicating theclock above them. If we dont get up and clean a little, my parents are going to have a heart attackcoming home to see all the movies and snack foods that we left in the living room last night, sheexplained as she moved out of Angels warm arms so she could get up.Do I have too? Angel asked in a cute little boys voice, giving Buffy an adorable smile that meltedher heart as she looked down at him.Yes, you have too, answered Buffy offering him her hand. I have to make my bed, she pointedout. We messed it up last night, with all the snuggling and kissing we did, she said playfully. Notthat Im complaining, she added sweetly.You better not be, Angel growled playfully as he got up out of Buffys bed, and pulled her to him.If I remember right youre the one who didnt want to go to sleep right away, and youre the one

who insisted that I sleep in your bed with you, he teased happily.It was storming out last night when we left The Pit, Buffy said. I dont like lighting and thunder itscares me, she explained giving Angel her little girl pout. Having you holding me made me feelsafe, she played on.Just as the couple was about to kiss, the front door opened downstairs, and voices could be heard.Buffy, Angel, the voice of Buffys mother yelled up the stairs. Are you two home? she asked.Theyre back, Buffy whispered giving Angel a slow and gentle kiss.Buffy, Angel, Mrs. Summers yelled again.Coming, Mom, Buffy answered pulling away from Angel, who was wearing a big smile.Are you two both still alive, Buffys little sister, Dawn yelled up the stairs.Oh yeah, replied Angel taking Buffys hand into his as they walked out of her room.The couple smiled at their families when they walked into the living room to find both the Summersand the O Connells sitting down, and talking.Hey, Mrs. OConnell said when she notice the couple walk into the room. How did your finalsgo? she asked smiling as she noticed that her son held Buffys hand.

They went good, Buffy replied feeling herself being pulled down into Angels lap as he sat down.How was the trip? she asked leaning back into Angels arms.Whats going on? Katie, Angels little sister, asked curiously looking at her brother and Buffy.What do you mean? asked a smiling Angel.Youre holding my sister, Dawn pointed out the obvious, and shes grinning like a complete andtotal dopey girl, she said.We had a great week, answered Buffy simply. We did great on our finals, and we found somenew stuff out, she added turning to share a smile with Angel.Such as? Mr. Summers asked his golden blonde daughter.That we dont hate each other, Angel explained.That we really, really care about each other, Buffy added.So much so that we are in love, Angel finished simply.Well Ill be, Mrs. Summers said grinning at her daughter and Angel, Mary, we were right, shetold her best friend.I knew we were, Joyce, Mrs. OConnell agreed.What were you right about? asked a confused Mr. OConnell as he looked at his petite wife.Two people cant fight and say they cant stand each other as much as Angel and Buffy said theydid unless, there was something behind it, Mrs. OConnell explained to her husband. The thingthat was behind it was that both liked each other and didnt know how to tell the other.Mom, how did you know that? Angel curiously questioned his mother.It comes with being a mother, Angel, answered Mrs. Summers. We know a lot more then youthink.Speaking of, Mrs. OConnell said looking around. Angel, I am sure you helped make this mess inthe living room, why dont you clean it up while Joyce and I decide on what to have for dinner, shetold her son.
