Buffy walked into the cottage to be greeted by her parents.
"Where have you been Buffy?" Her father asked.
"I was out. I got a job!" She said in excitement.
"That's great sweetie." Her mother said pulling her into a hug.
"Thanks mom."
"Who drove you home?" Her father asked.
"Huh? Oh that was Will, I met him at the mall and he showed me around. Then we went to his sister's beauty salon its called Becky's Beauty Salon, you heard of it? Well I got a job there." Buffy said.
"But Buffy you know this town inside out, why would you need a guy to show you around?" Her father asked.
Buffy looked to the ground. "Well he was really hot."
"You went around town with a man that you don't even know because he was hot? Do you know what he could have done to you?" Her father asked.
"I know but he didn't, he's nice." Buffy said.
"Its always the nice ones." Her father said.
"What would you rather me go for? A guy that steals and drinks, does drugs and wants sex?" Buffy stumped her dad.
"Well.I just.no." Her dad said. "Just go to bed sweetie, we'll talk in the morning."
"Fine, goodnight." Buffy said before going up to her room. She forgot to check the messages because the kiss Will had given her had effected her differently then any other kiss she'd received from a boy. She soon fell asleep with the thought that this trip might not be so bad.
~*~*~*~
The smell of pancakes filled the cottage and Buffy walked down to the kitchen in her teddy bear pajamas. She took a seat around the table and took a pancake off the plate and on to hers.
"Hey mom. What time is it?" Buffy asked cheerfully.
"Morning Buffy. 9:00." Her mother answered.
"Crap, I have to get ready. I start work in soon and." The doorbell rang. "Shit that's probably Will. I'm not ready." Buffy said in a panic.
"Go invite him in, I'm sure he can wait." Her mother said.
"Okay." Buffy said as she made her way out the kitchen and to the door. She opened it and Will just looked at her. "Sorry, I'm not ready. Come on in you can wait in my room." Buffy said, pulling him inside.
"Thank you luv." He said.
"Hello." Buffy's mother said as Buffy and Will passed the kitchen.
"Ello." Will said.
"I'm Joyce, Buffy's mother. Its nice to meet you."
"Same here." Will said.
"Okay enough chit chat I'm going to be late on my first day. Come on Will." Buffy said, dragging him up the steps and into her bedroom. "You can look around I have to get a shower."
"Alright." Will said sitting on her bed. He picked up a picture of Buffy, a red headed girl and a brown haired boy. He traced over Buffy's figure and before she went into the bathroom that was joined to her room he asked. "Who are they?"
She turned around and went over to see the picture. "Oh, that's Willow, Xander and me. They're my best friends back in Sunnydale."
"Oh." He said and she disappeared into the bathroom. Pretty soon after she appeared back in the bedroom in nothing but a towel. Will's jaw dropped when he saw her. He wanted to just throw her against the wall and.
"Will? You okay?" Buffy asked when she noticed him staring at her.
"Huh? Oh ya pet, fine." He answered.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" She asked looking through her clothes to find an outfit.
"I'm not staring." He said. "I'm admiring."
His comment made her blush and she continued sorting through her clothes. She pulled out a short black skirt and a red halter-top. "Too sluty?" She asked. 'What am I thinking asking him that am I that stupid? Now he's going to think I'm a slut. Nice job Buffy.'
"I like it." He said.
"Really?" She asked, looking at it.
"Ya." He said looking away because if he looked at her in that towel one more time.
"Hey can you check and see if there are any messages?" She said, knocking him out of his dirty thoughts yet again.
"Sure pet." He said as he looked over at her machine and indeed the red light was flashing. "Ya you do."
Can you check it? I have to change." Buffy said before going into the bathroom.
Will pushed a button and Willow's voice came on. "Hey Buff, its 9:00 here so that means 10 there right? Yes well you are either out or there ignoring me. How was the mall? Meet any cute guys? Bet that's what your doing, some cute guy huh? Am I right? Well if I am be sure to send your bestest friend Willow a picture so I can approve. Not that looks are every thing but they are something. Well I have to go, Oz and me are going on a date. See ya, don't forget to call me! Love ya bye." The message was over just as Buffy walked out of the bathroom.
"Who was it?" She asked.
"Some Willow person." He said.
"Shit I totally forgot to call her last night!" Buffy said. "Damn she's probably out with Xander and Cordy and Oz and I'm not there and I want to be."
"Sorry." Will said, sounding apologetic.
Buffy looked confused. "Why are you sorry?"
"Because you can't be with your friends."
"Really? But it's not your fault. If I hadn't of met you then this would be the most boringist trip." Buffy said, sitting next to him.
"So does that make me the guy luv?"
"Huh?"
"You'll find out when you read Willow's message. Later, you're going to be late." He said grabbing her wrist and taking her out the door.
~*~*~*~
"That's another one for me. How much money do I have?" Buffy asked as her customer walked out of the salon.
"Well that makes 5 so you have around 95 dollars." Will's mother said.
"Great now I can get the skirt." Buffy said. "And only a days work."
"Its almost lunch time. You can have the rest of the day off, the rest of us need some money too." Becky joked.
"Thank you so much." Buffy said.
"No problem, how are you getting home?" Becky asked. "I could drive you."
"Uh Will is coming to get me and we're going to go get something to eat." Buffy explained.
"Like a date?" His mother asked.
"No, just two new friends that are going out for food." Buffy said.
"Right.well looks like he's here. See you tomorrow Buffy." Becky said as Buffy walked out the door and hopped into the car.
"Hey Will." She greeted.
"Hello luv. How was your fist day?" He asked.
"I made 95 dollars." She said waving the money in his face.
"Going to buy us lunch with that?" He asked jokingly.
"Maybe.but first can we go to the mall I want to get this skirt. Its so awesome you have to see it." She said.
"Can't wait." He said turning up the volume on his stereo.
"What is that?" Buffy asked staring at the place that awful music was coming out of.
"That is Metallica." He answered.
"Can you turn it off?" She asked.
"What luv?" I can't hear you!" He yelled over the music. He heard Buffy sigh and knew he'd won.
~*~*~*~
Buffy and Will walked into the store Buffy had visited before. She went over to where she had saw the skirt and pulled it off the shelf. Without saying anything she took it into the dressing room to change. Will sat in one of the chairs that were arranged around the store. He smiled at a couple store clerks that walked by and was happy when Buffy walked out. The quicker she was done the quicker Will could get the hell out of there.
"What do you think?" She said spinning in a small circle, the short denim skirt barely above her knees.
"Nice pet." Will said.
"Really Will do you like it?" She asked.
"Yes luv it's very nice. Can we leave now?" He said impatiently.
"Ya ya. Just let me change out of this and pay." She said before disappearing behind the curtain. A young girl, around sixteen sat down next to Will.
"Hey." She said.
"Hello luv." He said politely.
"What's up? Trying on clothes?" She laughed.
"No, just here with a friend." He said. He wasn't quite sure to say girlfriend or not.
"Cool." She said. They sat in silence until finally Buffy came out. She looked at Will then the girl and felt a bit of jealousy.
"Are you done?" Will asked Buffy.
"Ya, come on Will. I'm hungry." Buffy said, as she started to walk away.
"So you're name is Will." The girl said. "I'm Nicole, maybe I'll see you around sometime."
"Ya, around." Will said before joining Buffy at the cash register. The two made it out of the store in silence but when they got to the car Buffy had questions.
"Who was she?" She asked.
Will looked at her. "Just a girl pet no need to get jealous."
"I'm not jealous, watch the road." She said.
"I am. Where to?" He asked.
"You're the local, I'm just a tourist." She said.
"How about Al's dinner? Its not very fancy but it is a place to get food." He said.
"Alright." Buffy said, staring at the car in front of her.
"You mad luv?" He asked.
"Why would I be mad?" She said.
"Because I was talking to that girl and since then you sound mad." He said.
"Well I'm not okay? I'm just.a bit.I'm just not in the mood to talk right now." Buffy said.
"Okay luv but if you want to."
"I don't." Buffy cut him off.
"Okay. I like the skirt." He said, trying to make Buffy cheer up.
"Really?" She said, making him see his plan had worked when a big smile appeared on her face.
"Ya, it looked great on you." He said.
"Thank you." Buffy said.
"Where have you been Buffy?" Her father asked.
"I was out. I got a job!" She said in excitement.
"That's great sweetie." Her mother said pulling her into a hug.
