SUMMARY: In the previous two installments Xander confronted Buffy with things that should have been said a long time ago. The slayer finally stated to look at her Xander shaped friend in a different light. She found that he was indeed her soul mate all along. So, after a rather angsty talk, they had this wonderful encounter. So what happens now?
A BUFFY\ XANDER MOMENT, THREE.
After their kiss one thing is forever clear. Buffy and Xander belong together. Gees, if everything in life were this clear living would be quite easy. Bell's ringing, birdie's singing, the whole nine years. The clarity of the moment is amazing. Tears pour down both their cheeks as they stand, stunned, before one another. The moment is much more than either of their young lives can handle. Somebody way up their had it planned. There is definitely a B\X faction among the Gods and they're taking over baby!
They slowly and methodically entwined their fingers. The goose bumps play tag up and down Buffy's back as her body starts to fully react to just who it is she has before her. This is her soul mate and always has been. Certain parts of her have been lying dormant waiting for her to realize it. Mayor internal upheaval to say the least.
As for Xander, he has been here for a long time. Being in love with Buffy is old hat for him. But having her look at him the way she is right now is another matter. And tasting those sweet, pouting lips as he just did is way different. The chill bumps are having their own party up and down his body. Give these two room. Their love is large!
For a few minutes all the other realities of their lives are out there somewhere. Never before have two people been more into each other. Our spoken word lacks the phrases to adequately describe it. But...let us not forget. Our two heroes are not a normal couple in love. They live on the Hellmouth and nothing is ever normal here...or easy. Buffy makes a move with her mouth to re-visit the heavenly spaces of Xander's lips but the boy takes a step away from her and lowers his head in sadness.
Buffy is shocked to say the least. "Xander, God, what are you doing?"
"We can't Buff."
"We can't...just watch me!"
She makes another move toward him but he does the same thing.
"Xander, what the hell are you doing?"
"We can't, Buffy."
"Look, I love you Xander...and you love me. Now show me more of what I've been missing."
"We can't be together right now and you know it."
"I do?"
All of a sudden it hits Buffy. He's talking about her.
"Xander, I know you're talking about you and...Anya. But don't try to tell me you don't love me. That what we did back there was fake?"
"Stop it, Buffy!"
The slayer sees Xander is very upset. She lowers her voice and approaches him.
"Okay, Xander, I know you're going with her. But, unless I'm totally reading this wrong, you and I just had a once in a life time type moment."
"Of course we did Buffy. It was the happiest moment of my life."
"Well then lets just forget everything else right now and go over to your place!"
Xander gets very serious. He gives her a look she doesn't like at all.
"I can't believe this Xander!"
"I can't do it Buffy. I go with her. I wouldn't do it to you and I'm not going to do it with her."
Buffy walks away a few steps shaking her head. Then she turns around.
"You wouldn't do it to me. Is that suppose to make me feel better, Xander. Because if it is, it's not working. Do you love me, Xander or are you just bullshitting me?"
Buffy starts to walk away again. Xander sighs then catches up to her. He looks at her warmly searching her eyes for understanding.
"Buffy, come on. Tell me you understand what I'm telling you."
Although the slayer understands it in her head she is not going to let him know.
"What I see is a stud who can't make up his mind which one of his harem he wants to be with!"
"Buffy, everybody knows I love you and that I always have. One of the reasons I love you is because of your kindness and compassion. I'm going out on a limb here but I think deep down you understand what I am saying. I want to be with you and you know it. But Anya has been loyal to me and I can't drop her like this. I have to do this the right way."
Buffy walks away very frustrated.
"Yea, whatever!"
Xander watches as Buffy walks away. He can't believe what he just did. The blonde Goddess finally recognizes that they are soul mates and always have been but, instead of being headed to his house for probably the best romantic encounter two people have had this century, he stands here watching her go away frustrated.
He screams out to no one in particular.
"I hate this stinking town!"
`~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Buffy goes back to her dorm Willow is waiting for her. The Witch looks at her with eyes widened. When Buffy doesn't immediately spill the beans Willow gets forceful.
"Okay, Slayer, out with it. What in the world was that all about?"
"I told him."
"You did, wow...and?"
"He was shocked."
"But, does he still love you?"
Buffy has to laugh. "Willow I have never seen Xander with a more contented look on his face. It was like he won something he never thought he had a chance to win."
"So... hugs and kisses and tears?"
"One of the first two lots, of the third."
"You mean you didn't go over his place?"
"Willow!"
"Come on Buffy we're not kids anymore."
Buffy has to sit down to tell her the rest. "I was certainly up for it. But, he wouldn't do it."
Now Willow has to sit down. "Now wait a minute. I was sort of shocked when you finally fell in love with Xander. But it is beyond shocking to believe he turned down a chance for he and you to...you know?"
"He said he can't because he goes with Anya and it wouldn't be right. She is loyal to him and he isn't going to do it this way. He's going to do it the right way. If it were the other way around he wouldn't do it to me either."
"Do you believe him or do you think he just can't make up his mind."
"Well, Willow, and swear you will never ever tell him this. But I actually do believe him, and one of the reasons I fell in love with him is because of things like that. Anybody else would have just jumped my bones. I think it hurt him as much as it did me when we didn't go to his house. I could feel him staring at me in desire as I was leaving."
Willow agrees. "Buffy, I'll bet you it took every bit of strength he had in him to turn you down."
They both share a laugh. Willow asks.
"So, what now?"
"Well every chance I get I am going to let Xander Lavelle Harris know that I am very impatiently waiting for him. And I intend to pour it on thick."
Willow asks a question which the slayer knows should be asked.
"Buffy, what about Anya?"
"I know, Will. She helps us... and really loves Xander. I really don't know what to say. I only know I love Xander. And I know he loves me. Willow when we kissed I almost literally passed out. He put so much into it. It was like he saved it up for years. I know he has feelings for...her."
"Buffy, it is part of being human to accept hard things sometimes. Tara and I will make sure we are there to support her. Buffy, honestly, now that it has happened. You two really belong together. I really believe that Xander fell in love with you the first day he met you and has never stopped. This is like a dream come true for him."
"I hope you're right, Willow. I really do."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
But, as the slayer said, until Xander takes care of business she fully intends to let him see what he is missing. She gets Willow to invite Xander to lunch at the school. She plans to really play dirty. She brushes her long blonde hair out, tying a dark green bandanna to part of it. She knows this particular look drives Xander bananas. She wears a dress which really highlights her dips and curves. She stands in front of her mirror giving her ensemble the final touches.
"I hope he's ready for this." She has to giggle to herself. "Just showing the poor boy what he is missing!"
When Buffy sees Xander walking down the hall way she non-chalantly strolls out from the other end. When The boy sees her his mouth falls open. He is speechless and she knows it. Xander dodges other students trying to get to her. She passes him without looking at him at all. He follows her into an empty class room. She tries to act surprised.
"Xander, what are you doing here?"
He is so taken in by this Goddess in front of him he doesn't suspect he was set up.
"Buffy...ah...oh God, Buffy, I can't help it."
He takes her in his arms, reaching for her lips. Buffy playfully stops him.
"Now, Xander, remember what you said."
"I know but....well I...oh, hell, I don't know what I'm saying half the time."
He reaches for her again and she doesn't object. This is the Hellmouth and Buffy or Xander might die tonight during patrol. This intensity must be fulfilled, this level of desire must be answered, they have to take each other's lips.
After about five minutes of the deepest kissing either has ever felt something hits Xander.
"Wait a minute." He looks Buffy up and down from toe to toe.
"When did you ever dress like this just for class?"
"What are you talking about? How would you know how I dress for class?"
"Buffy Anne Summers, I major in you and you know it!"
Busted! The slayer smiles that sweet heart breaking way of hers but Xander will have none of it. But he can't help but laugh.
"I don't believe it. You and Will...you set me up, didn't you?"
"Hey, stud, this is the big leagues, get use to it!"
Buffy saves face by brushing pass Xander and leaving. She does one more sexy shake of her blonde curls and walks back down the hallway. Xander calls after her.
"You brat!"
She holds up her hand as if to dismiss him. Xander shakes his head and talks to himself.
"God, that woman turns me on!"

Next and final part...what about Anya?
