Chapter 4
Buffy was talking to Angel later that night while Connor and Dawn were outside getting some fresh air. "So, I take it Connor told you about his little crush." Buffy looked up at him when he said that.
"He told you about that?" Angel shook his head.
"I figured it out with the way he was talking about you. I knew you had to be someone pretty special." He told her and Buffy blushed a little.
"I just hope he's okay." She said and Angel nodded.
"He'll be fine. I can already tell he seems interested in your sister." Buffy smiled at that.
"Yeah, that's what I was going for." They continued to get to know each other a little better. Dawn and Connor were sitting on the steps outside in silence, neither knowing what to say. Dawn then looked at him and decided to be the one to break the silence.
"So, is Spike your uncle?" Connor looked at her and nodded.
"Yeah, is he one of your teachers?" Dawn nodded also.
"Yep, he's pretty great." She said with a smile and Connor noticed the look and rolled his eyes.
"Don't tell me you have a crush on him?" Dawn shrugged.
"Maybe, is that a problem?" She asked him.
"I think all the girls at school have a crush on him." Dawn wasn't surprised by that.
"Yeah, I noticed that." Connor shook his head.
"I just think it's weird." Dawn rolled her eyes.
"Like you don't have a crush on my sister." Connor looked surprised that she knew that.
"You could tell?" Dawn nodded.
"Pretty obvious, so she let you down gently?" Connor nodded also.
"Yeah, she was nice about it. I knew I didn't really stand a chance with her anyway." Dawn agreed and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Many have tried and failed, my sister can be very difficult." Connor nodded again and realized that he liked the feel of her hand on his shoulder. She then removed it when the door opened and Buffy and Angel walked out.
"Hey, you ready to go?" Angel asked Connor and he nodded and stood up. Angel then looked back at Buffy and smiled at her. "Thanks for having us over, I hope we can get together and do it again sometime." Buffy nodded.
"I would like that, I'm glad you guys could come." Angel nodded also and put his arm around his son and walked to their car. Connor looked back at Dawn one more time before getting in the car. He waved to her before Angel drove away and Dawn smiled at that and looked back at Buffy who also had a smile on her face.
"What?" She asked her older sister and Buffy just shook her head.
"Oh, nothing." She told her as she walked back into the house and after thinking about it for a second, Dawn followed her in.
