Chapter three - Meeting Dru
Arriving just after the sun kissed the earth goodnight for another day. Oz parks the his van on the street just outside the park. Than makes his way to the playground and the swings to await and meet Dru. Walking through the tree and the warn path of dirt to the swing set he gets comfy on one to wait. Swinging himself back an forth slowly dragging his feet on the ground as he swung. He could feel the heat of the day still warm on the seat and chairs. Thinking to himself that he must be crazy for coming to meet with her again. Just than he felt his wolf jump and knew Dru was coming. A couple minutes later his blood started to sing that was the only thing he could call it. Without stopping the swing or turning to look at her he said." Hey Silla, what's up?"
Walking up behind him she catches the swing in her hands pulling it to a stop moving so she was pressed to his back. She put her hands on his shoulders lightly running them down his chest. Bringing them to rest over his heart. Shivering slightly as she touches him her breasts pushed into him. But not from fear or disgust but from the pleasure of it he feels his wolf stir again as well.
Dru smiles at this, feeling it too, she leans over to his ear and whispers ," Ello luv, I'm glad you come. Silla wasn't sure you would." As she pulls back she presses a lingering kiss to the side of his face. Than steps back standing upright again. Oz smiles despite himself saying again," Hey Silla, I told you I would be here so here's puppy." Standing from the swing turning to face her as he does giving her his best Oz smile.
He holds his hand out to her so she can join him on the other side of the swing set. Taking his hand she smiles at him in return. Walking around the swing as it still swung slowly from Oz getting out of it. He walks her over to one of the benches past the picnic tables they had sat at the night before. Which were on the other side of the playground from the swings.
As they walked Oz took in her grace and beauty once again. She was stunning in her black lace dress with matching suede heels, her hair was down flowing in soft ringlets. He wondered not for the first time how she glided on air as she walked. Arriving at the red hard wood and black metal trimmed bench. He walks them around to the front of it to each taking a seat. The bench was bathed in the soft light coming from the over head street lamp a few yards away.
As they got settled Oz spoke." I have to say that I really enjoyed our conversation last night it was very in lighting. So I had Giles do some research for me today, about some of the things you had told me. And the things it got me thinking about as well. Let me tell you that he gave me a shit load of books too. When the man says "Let me consult my books" he really does."
Giggling Dru says, "Yes watchers really do love their books don't they?" Oz smiles and nods." Yep. I really only know one, and met another but from what I've seen. " He just nods again. Giggling again she says," Well what would you like to do or talk about this evening than?" Oz tilts his head to the side as if listening for or to something as he speaks. "Well I'd like to hear more about your life with Spike, Angelus and Darla. But I think we should take this show on the road. We got really lucky last night that Buffy didn't make a swipe of the park. So I say lets take this shin-dig someplace that's else where and go from there. Any ideas where we can move this get together to?"
Dru growls a bit at the mention of the slayer's name as she hiss' out," Nasty 'ol slayer always takes what's not hers , Silla doesn't like her." Claming herself at Oz's look she says in more of a purr," Well dearie that depends on how much you trust me? We can go someplace pubic, or we can go to the beach or to another park? And there's always your place or mine? It's your choice my sweet?"
Nodding Oz sits thinking on this watching Dru hum softly to herself. Leaning back on the bench she looks up at the night sky feeling the warmth of the days sun still trapped in the wood against her back as she does," Isn't the sky pretty all twinkling stars and bright moon. Miss Edith told me that the moon and stars will be having a three day tea party soon. Would you like to go? She said we could if we liked."
Looking at Dru now Oz says, "Sounds like fun but I won't be able to make it. I'll be locked up in the school's library. And I guess we can go to your place if you don't mind that is?" Dru growls again at the mention that he would be locked up like some kind of animal. A growl to her voice as she speaks again," Does the lil red witch lock you up like some pet that has been bad? The slayer watching you like you were her dog? This is wrong and should not be, you should be free."
Swaying she gets a far away look in her eyes as if she's not there anymore. Oz places his hand on her shoulder saying in a soothing tone." Silla sweetie come back to puppy." Smiling gently at her as he watches her start to come back to herself after a few minutes. As he continues to message her shoulder in comfort. Purring at his touch she smiles softly at him," Sorry my sweet, it just upsets Silla to think of you in such a way."
Smiling Oz nods his understanding stroking his hand down her arm from her shoulder where he had placed it a few minutes before. He hears a purr start from deep in her chest. He smiles at the sound and how his wolf responds to it, he speaks," Listen to me Silla, Willow and Buffy don't lock me up. I lock myself up every month so I can't hurt anyone. I do it for me, for my own piece of mind, understand?"
Nodding Dru smiles." Yes my puppy I think I do . Shell we than?" Nodding again himself Oz takes Dru's hand rising from the bench hand in hand. They make their way down the paved path that winds though Weaverly Park to his van. Just as Oz and Dru had lifted the park to get in his van. Buffy came walking by the bench they had been sitting on moments before, doing her nightly rounds of Sunnydale.
Thinking to herself I thought I sensed a vamp around here somewhere. Guess not. Shrugging heading to her next stop one of the many 12 cemetery's in town Shady hill.
Oz opening the passenger side door for Dru to get in. Once she was in and settled he closed the door behind her. Walking to the drivers side he hops in putting his seat belt on starts 'er up. Looking over at Dru he's taking by her beauty again . Finding himself attracted to her, and with some surprise that his wolf was too.
" So princess where to?" Smiling at him she purrs softly, "Princess' house is a crossed town in the old section of Sunnydale just off Willis street. Do you know where that is?" Oz nods " Yep sure do." Putting the van into gear he sets out for her house. The drive would take them about 15 minutes or so to get there.
A few minutes into the drive Dru turns to him," Puppy I don't have any human food or drinks. Do you think we could stop and get some? And some blood for me as well?" Not taking his eyes off the road he nods again. "Yea there's an all night Super mart a couple minutes from here we can go there. And get everything we need, I know they sell blood there too. I had to get some for Angel once when he got injured really badly in a fight one night. It's pigs blood though? If you want human we might have to go to Willy's for that. Speaking of which does Angel know your back in town yet?"
Giggling at him she says," The pigs blood will be fine this once. And no my Angel doesn't know that I 'm back in town. Not yet anyway but I'm sure he can sense that I' m near. So it won't be long before he figures out that I'm here in town. I shell have to call him though if I plan to stay. Rules and all tha' rot but no as of now he doesn't. Why do you ask my puppy?"
Nodding Oz pulls into the parking lot of the Super mart putting the van in park shutting it off. He turns in his seat so his legs and feet where in the small aisle between the seats to face her as he speaks." I understand about the rules from what you told me last night. I was just wondering what you planned to do about him is all. Only because he's still apart of the Scooby's even though him an Buffy aren't a couple anymore, He still helps out when really needed. As will I. I mean I know he will be able to smell you on me. Cuz I can smell him on Buffy even if he has only hugged her. His scent is still on her. And I don't want to give you away before your ready to let him or anyone know that your back. That's all."
Undoing her seat belt she turns in her seat til she is seated as he is, her legs and feet in the aisle. Her legs resting between his and she is fully facing him. Placing her right hand to his cheek stroking it lightly. Oz nuzzles into her hand as a low deep rumble admits from his chest. Dru smiles at this as she continues to stroke his face and cheek. She speaks in a low sexy purred voice." That's very sweet of you to think of your Silla in such a way puppy. Thank you."
The rumble in his chest grows louder at the sound of her voice. Closing his eyes as she continues to stroke his face. Smiling brightly Dru leans forward and places a soft kiss to his lips. Oz's eyes snap open at the cool feel of her lips to his. Kissing her back letting his eyes fall closed again as he deepens the kiss. Threading his left hand into her long raven hair at the nape of her neck.
The rumble in his chest growing louder as he hears her start to purr in responce. After another minute or so he reluctantly breaks the kiss. A soft whimper coming from them both at the loss of contact. He smiles" So?" Dru smiles in return "Yes." Nodding Oz swings around making sure he doesn't hit her as he does an gets out of the van.
Walking to her side opening the door for her extending his hand. " M ' lady." Giggling Dru takes his hand as he helped her out of the van an to the ground. Once she was out he closes the door behind her. And they walk into the store hand in hand.
