Chapter 6

AN: Alright I really didn't want Angel in this story but he's needed and sorry it's taken me this long to update. Anyways it's two weeks later, Buffy's adjusted to school and her job at the Crashdown. It's Saturday night and Buffy has taken Michael on a quick patrol.

"Wow," Michael said dusting off his hands as he staked his first vampire. "That was," he began not able to find the words.

"That's what I said the first time I staked a vamp too. Come on," she said pulling him out of the cemetery.

"How come you've never taken me before," Michael asked.

"Let's get outta here," Buffy said giggling as she pulled him towards Pete's Bowling Alley.

"Where we going," Michael asked as she pulled him into the alley.

"Shh," she said pressing them against the wall and pulling his head to her lips. Bringing her mouth to his ear she whispered, "Someone's following us."

"Ah," Michael said inhaling her scent, causing her to shiver. Cupping her cheek in his hand, Michael pressed a kiss to her lips.

Buffy grasped at Michael's shoulders as he deepened the kiss.

The person drew closer as Michael's hands gripped at her hips, pulling her closer to him. "You know," they said as they stepped out of the shadows. "This isn't really the place you should be doing this."

Buffy pulled away from Michael with a deep breath. "Why are you following me," she asked him.

"Didn't anyone tell you it's not safe to be alone at night," he asked.

"I'm not alone," Buffy said with a glance to Michael. "Besides I can take care of myself.

"Really?"

"Really," she said flipping over Michael and resumes a fighting stance. "Now who are you?"

"You're spry for one thing," he said. "Though I thought you'd be taller."

"She asked who you were," Michael said stepping beside her.

"Isn't this cute," his eyes flashing with jealousy.

"Answer the question," Buffy said folding her arms in annoyance.

"I'm a friend," he said tossing her the cross.

"Maybe I don't want one," she said catching the cross.

"I didn't say I was your's. Be careful St. Vigeous is tomorrow night," he said turning away and walking into the night, his coat billowing behind him.

"Well isn't he a ball of sunshine," Michael said turning towards her. "What's in the box?"

Buffy opens the box and shows Michael. "I guess it's time to talk to Giles."

"I guess so," Michael said pulling her into his arms. "Let's get you home," he said dropping a kiss on her lips and leading her out of the alley. "Is Giles still awake at this time?"

"Probably not, but I'm gonna wake him up anyway. We need to know what's going on."

"Is it just me or did that guy give you the creeps?"

"Yeah, it was weird. I'll ask Giles about him," Buffy said leading him down Giles' street.

"How do you know where Giles lives?"

"I told you he was my watcher, that and I kinda broke into the principal's office and looked it up," she said with a shrug.

Michael pulled him towards her. "What else do you know," he asked dropping a kiss on her lips and pressing her against the wall of the closest building.

"Nothing. Wasn't really looking for anything else," she said pulling him in for a kiss.

Michael pulled her hips against his, deepening the kiss.

"Michael," Buffy moaned as his lips moved across her jaw and down her neck. She wrapped her hands around his neck and pull his head away. "Don't leave any bite marks, it's too hot for a turtleneck."

Michael chuckled. "Don't want you hiding them anyway," he said bringing his lips back to her neck and biting gently.

Buffy pulled away again. "Well whose gonna explain them to my mom? Don't really want her castrating my boyfriend," she said arching her hips against him with a moan.

Michael growled and kissed her hard, throwing all the passion he was feeling for the small blonde who stole his heart so fast.

"Slow down there Mikey. Don't want our first time together against the wall of some building," she said pulling away.

Michael took a deep breath, willing himself to calm down. She was right. She deserved better than this. "God you're right, I'm sorry," he said turning away.

"Hey," she said turning him back to face her. "It's no problem, I mean I liked it," she said placing a kiss on his lips.

"You deserve better than me," he said his fears slowly creeping in.

"Don't start that. As far as I'm concerned, there is no better than you and I swear to god if you suggest I be with someone like Kyle or Max, I will hit you," Buffy said grabbing his shoulders in her hands. "Now listen to me and listen to me carefully, I like you okay? I like the way you make me feel. Do you know how you make me feel," she asked grabbing his hand and placing it over her heart.

Michael felt is speed up against his hand as he pressed it against her chest.

"You make me feel safe and calm. You make me feel like I can do anything. God I wish you could see how I see you," she said running her hands up his arms.

"Probably the same way I see you," he said taking her hand in his and leading her down the sidewalk.

"You gonna add more to that or are you gonna be Mr. Cryptive," she asked following him.

"No, not yet anyways. When is your mom leaving town," Michael asked.

"Um, end of next week. Why?"

"You wanna go to the dance with me," Michael asked.

"I'd love to," Buffy said giving him a quick kiss. "The dance is next isn't it?"

"Yeah," Michael said with a smirk.

"You're up to something aren't you Guerin," Buffy asked with a smile.

"I'm not telling Summers," Michael said returning her smile.

"This is Giles'," Buffy said leading Michael up the walkway and knocking on the door.

"Yes," Giles said opening the door. "Miss Summers, Mr. Guerin. What can I do for you?"

"What's St. Vigeous," Buffy asked.

"Oh dear," Giles said removing his glasses and pulling a handkerchief out of his pocket and began cleaning them. "Come in," he said putting his glasses back on and stepping to the side.

Buffy and Michael walked into Giles' and stood to the side. "So you gonna make with the splainy so I can go home," she asked.

TBC.... Any suggestions for what should happen after St Vigeous
