Rating: PG-13, maybe an NC-17 (if I can actually write it)
Pairings: B/A (eventually), X/A, C/D, W/O G/J Some couples might not be mentioned in the story but these are the way the pairings should be.
Distribution: Anyone I send it to is welcome, if you want it take it, just let me know first, it gives me a happy to see my work.
Disclaimer: Obviously, I don't own anything even relating to BTVS or ATS, please don't sue, like you even would after reading this crap.
Author's Notes: I realize now that the beginning of this story could resemble that of "Advantage" by Cat. I just wanted to say that I had begun this story at least a month before Cat began to post her story, it is just by coincidence that we are writing about the same thing. The only reason it has taken me so long to post this story is that I wanted to edit it and make sure that it wasn't a piece of crap first.
Author's Notes 2: All of you who have sent feedback, I just want to say Thank You so much. You guys are the reason I'm still writing this story!
Now, onto the story!
"So. How was the date?" Willow asked with a grin on her face. Her best friend had just walked in the door from her first date ever. From the smile on her face, Willow could gather that the date went very well.
"It was." Buffy paused. "Amazing!" She walked over to her living room and plopped down on the couch, Willow followed her and took a seat on the chair across from her.
"Come on woman! Give me details!" Willow cried excited that her best friend had the time of her life.
"Well. First we went to The Palisade. Very nice but very pricey. We talked for a while, you know usual stuff. But, oh my God Willow! I was so embarrassed! I actually told him that I was a virgin! I was like, God, just stick a moron sign on my forehead right now!"
"That bad?" Willow asked sympathetically.
"That bad." Buffy stated. "But he didn't rub it in my face, he was a perfect gentlemen." Buffy said, smiling at the memories.
"So what happened next? That must've taken what, an hour? You've been gone at least four hours, what'd you guys do next?" Willow asked, scooting forward to the edge of her seat.
"Well." Buffy stopped and smiled.
"You didn't!" Willow said, shocked that her friend would give it up on the first date.
"No no! Willow calm! Deep breathes. You didn't let me finish!" Buffy stated, trying to calm her friend down. "I told you, he was a perfect gentlemen. After dinner we took a drive up to Lover's Cove. We sat there for a while just talking, then he decided it would be a good time to go for a swim. You know what he did? He dunked me!" Buffy said, still shocked. "But, I forgave him and we just drove home." She smiled again.
"So I guess the big question of the night is, did he kiss you?" Willow pried.
A small blush crept it's way onto Buffy's cheeks as she answered a small, "Yes."
"Oh my God!" Willow exclaimed, "how was it, how many times? Tell me everything!" Willow said, rushing out her words so it was hard to listen to her.
"Calm Willow!" Buffy exclaimed, sitting forward and resting her hands on Willow's shoulders to settle her down. "We kissed at the beach when we were just sitting on the rocks, then also in the water, and then once more before I came into the house." Buffy finished, a huge smile spreading across her face.
"I'm so excited for you! Are you guys gonna go out again?" Willow asked.
"Hopefully, he said that he'd call me. Oh Willow, I like him so much!" Buffy said, sinking back into the couch.
The girls spent the next half hour discussing the date before heading up to bed. The last image that went through Buffy's head before she fell into a peaceful oblivion was that of Angel clad only in boxers. That image sparked the fire for many erotic dreams that night for Buffy.
At nine in the morning, Buffy was still sound asleep, a pleasant smile gracing her face. All of a sudden a shrill ring broke the morning quiet. Buffy thinking it was her alarm clock, hit the offending object, consequently breaking it into several large pieces which scattered on the floor. She buried her head back in the pillow and tried to fall into another deep slumber. When she kept hearing the sharp noise she quickly sat up, sleep in her eyes. Trying to figure out why her alarm clock was still making noise even though it was thoroughly smashed, she knelt on the floor and started to tear all the pieces apart. After two more rings, Buffy finally realized that the noise wasn't coming from her broken alarm clock which now needed to be replaced, but the phone. Automatically, Buffy launched into a search for the phone which she had managed to bury somewhere in her room.
"Please don't hang up, please don't hang up." She began to chant, desperately searching through the pile of clothes the lay in the corner of her bedroom. If she didn't find the phone soon she wouldn't know who called. She didn't have an answering machine because she found that all the messages would be from annoying paparazzi asking for a photo shoot or an interview.
After throwing aside a small tan tee shirt, Buffy was graced with the site of her phone resting on a pair of jeans. She offered a sigh of relief as she pressed the "talk" button.
"Hello?" Buffy asked, hoping to hear the voice from her date the previous night.
"Buffy?" The voice asked, confirming that it was truly Angel.
"Yeah. Hi Angel." Buffy smiled, trying to fight back a yawn but failing miserably.
"Hey there Love. Did I wake you?" He asked, remembering his dreams from last night which consisted of mostly Buffy in her underwear swimming in the ocean.
"Yeah but no big deal." She replied stretching her tired muscles.
"So, whatcha doin today?" He asked, praying she didn't have any plans.
"Well. Hmm, let me think." Buffy said, pausing to make it seem like she was in deep thought. "Oh that's right, I have nothing to do today. What about yourself?"
"I was thinking about taking this really great girl that I went out on a date with last night out for lunch. Then maybe out again tonight."
"Really?" Buffy asked, then began to tease him. "Do you think she'll say yes?"
"I know she will." He confidently replied.
"Aren't you the cocky one!" She laughed.
"You'll just have to wait and see." Angel replied, smirking.
"Oh god." Buffy replied, closing her eyes and shaking her head at his last comment. "So anyways," returning the conversation to it's original track. "I would love to go to lunch. Just tell me where and when."
"Well, how bout the pizza place on 3rd at 11:30. Sound good?" He asked.
"Sounds perfect." She replied, writing down the time and place so she wouldn't forget.
"I'd pick you up and take you but filming for my new movie doesn't get out till eleven and I want to take a shower so I look my best for you."
"Oh no problem. Don't worry about it. So I'll see you at 11:30." She stated.
"Yeah, see you then. I can't wait."
"Me neither." Buffy agreed
"Bye."
"Bye." Buffy hung up the phone, a smile transfixed on her face.
Noticing the time, Buffy sprang out of her seat on the bed and bounded into the shower. A half hour later she entered her room, smelling clean and fresh, wearing her pink bath robe which had been a birthday present from Xander when she was twenty.
'Oh my God!' Buffy thought. 'Today is Friday! I'm supposed to go to Xander's house tonight for dinner. Damn! That means no date with Angel tonight. Crap then I'll just have to tell him at lunch.'
Buffy spent the next twenty minutes trying to find the perfect outfit for her lunch date.
'Let's see.' She thought to herself. 'It's Angel so that means I have to wear something nice, it's pizza so that means comfortable, it's sunny outside so that means something cool, and it's a public place during the day so that means no sex vixen.' "Damn" She said sarcastically.
After searching for a few more minutes Buffy found the perfect outfit. She chose to wear a white spaghetti strap shirt with a pair of khaki shorts which were short but not indecently short. With the outfit she slipped on her favorite pair of Dr. Marten sandals and some peach lip gloss to complete the outfit. Satisfied with her appearance she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen for a small breakfast. Grabbing an apple she sat down at the kitchen table across from Willow who was reading the paper still in her Smurf pajamas.
"Morning." Buffy said cheerfully.
"Morning." Willow replied.
"You'll never guess who called and invited me out for lunch." The smile that was still on Buffy's face began to grow as she talked to Willow.
"Hmm." Willow appeared to contemplating her answer. "Could it be that handsome man who took you out last night?" She smiled.
"Yes!" Buffy squeaked. "I'm meeting him at the pizza place on 3rd! I can't wait!"
"I can tell." Willow laughed, shaking her head at her friend's behavior.
"But I have an hour and a half before I have to meet him so I think I'll go run some errands, maybe go food shopping. You know I'm going over to Xander's house for dinner, I'm sure you could go too."
"I'd loved to but Oz gets back from L.A. today so I'll be going home tonight. You know, it'll be the first night that we'll be home alone in our house as a married couple. I mean the first night you slept over and then last night I slept over here while he had his gig in L.A."
"Oh, I understand. You're right it should be just you guys tonight. Well I'll see you maybe later today or tomorrow." Buffy said, walking over and giving Willow a hug before grabbing her keys and heading for the door.
"Bye." Willow called out before she heard the door shut behind her best friend. 'I hope this is the one for you Buffy.' She thought to herself.
