Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I don't own a thing…except the plot at this point.
Sensing someone behind her, the slayer didn't even move from her spot atop the headstone.
"You know what I decided tonight?"
Angel smiled at his girlfriend, knowing she had sensed him the same way he had sensed her enough to find her.
"What's that beloved?"
Buffy looked at her boyfriend and smiled.
"Headstones are not comfortable seats."
Angel headed over to his girlfriend, sitting down and pulling her into his lap so she was a tad bit more comfortable.
"So in the next couple of years if we move in together, you want to cross headstones off the list for potential furniture?"
Buffy glowed at the mention of them moving in together.
"No headstones. Nice big comfy chairs and couches."
Angel chuckled.
"Okay beloved."
The two sat in silence before Angel felt his lover shiver.
"Cold?"
Buffy nodded.
"A little bit."
Angel took off his duster and draped it over his girlfriend's shoulders. Buffy put her arms through and then snuggled into her boyfriend's chest.
"Thanks."
Angel kissed the slayer's forehead and smiled down on her, knowing that she truly was the love of his life.

The slayer climbed into her window and smiled as she heard her mother just walking in the door from a very late night at the gallery.
"Buffy! I'm home!"
Buffy quickly put her pajamas on and bounded down the stairs.
"Hi mom!"
Joyce smiled at her daughter.
"Hi honey. How was your night."
Buffy smiled.
"It was good. Mom, can I talk to you for a minute?"
Joyce nodded.
"Sure, let's go up to my room. I'd like to get my work clothes off. We can talk there."
The two Summers women went into the main bedroom, Joyce went into her bathroom while Buffy sat on her mom's bed.
"So what's going on sweetheart?"
Buffy sighed, it was time. Angel and her had been dating for almost a year now, her mother needed to know about it.
"Mom, do you remember my history tutor?"
Joyce racked her brain, but then remembered the young man who she had been introduced to very briefly a few months after they had moved here.
"The young man with the dark brown hair right?"
Buffy nodded, then remembered her mother couldn't see her for the bathroom door was shut.
"Yeah, his name's Angel."
"Okay, what does he have to do with what your going to tell me?"
Buffy sighed.
"Well, he's not just my history tutor."
Joyce walked out of her bathroom, now clad in her nightgown.
"And what is he?"
Buffy inwardly cringed, Angel was a lot of things.
"He's also my boyfriend."
Joyce sighed.
"And how long has this been going on for?"
"Since last year."
Joyce quirked her eyebrow.
"So you lied to be Buffy Anne Summers?"
Buffy quickly shook her head.
"No mom, we weren't dating when you met him. He seriously was just my history tutor."
Buffy once again inwardly cringed. She hated lying to her mother, but she knew it was important. Her mom had enough on her plate right now without finding out that her daughter fought the forces of evil every night.
"He's older than you."
Buffy nodded.
"I know."
"Does he treat you well?"
Buffy couldn't help a dreamy look that graced her face.
"You have no idea. Mom, he's so sweet. He notices things without me telling him, like when I'm cold, he automatically gives me his jacket. He sometimes surprises me at school, and the way he always knows what I need. Whether it's to hit him (Joyce snorted), for him to hold me, or if I need a shoulder to cry on, he's always there."
Joyce smiled, she could tell that her daughter truly loved this man.
"Does he have plans for Christmas Eve?"
Buffy shook her head.
"No, I don't think so. Why?"
"Well then you have to invite him over when your friends and Mr. Giles come over, I need to get to know this man who has captured my daughter's heart."
Buffy smiled and launched herself into her mother's arms.
"Thanks Mom! I'll go call him right now."
Joyce hugged the blonde before releasing her to go call her boyfriend. She laughed out loud as her daughter raced towards her room, an extra bounce in her step.
'Ahh…Young Love.'
TBC! Okay, this was a really short chapter, but oh well. It has B/A fluff in it and it's cute. So there! Sorry it is so short. The next chapter should be the Christmas party, but that doesn't say much. It SHOULD be, so review and you'll get the next part! READ AND REVIEW PLEASE!
