Part 5
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Buffy sat at her desk the next morning talking to her father Giles on her cell phone as she looked over her designs that Angel was going to model today. She had to admit to herself she couldn't wait for Angelus to come in today. Last night had been wonderful, and the kisses, Wow!
"Buffy, are you listening?" asked Giles noticing his golden blonde daughter had been quite for the last ten minutes they had been on the phone. He had been telling her some wonderful news.
"Sorry, Dad, I was just thinking," admitted Buffy blushing at what she was just thinking about. "You were saying?" she asked turning her full attention back to her father.
"I was saying that Jenny and I should be home next week, and we would really like you and Dawn to come to dinner one night. Mind you I want you to make sure Dawn brings that new boyfriend of hers," he insisted. He loved both his daughters dearly and if any man planned to ever marry then or even date them he wanted to meet them. In his opinion no men would ever be good enough for his little girls, but in the end it wasn't his decision to make. "I also want to meet the young man in your life," he added with a knowing smile. His daughter hadn't said anything about a man in her life, but he knew her to well to know that she was thinking either about her work or a new man in her life.
"Who told you?" asked Buffy surprised that her father knew about Angelus. "Did Dawn tell you?" she asked looking up when she heard her door open and Faith and Willow both walked in.
"Hey, B," said Faith flopping down into one of the chairs. "Red here is being a pain once again," she complained.
"Faith, she's on the phone, you think you can keep that trap of yours shut for five minutes until she gets off it?" snapped Willow sitting down in the other seat in front of Buffy's desk.
Buffy rolled gave them both a wait look," Daddy, can I call you back, I have a problem I have to sort out?" she asked her father kindly.
"Of course, I love you and your sister," he said in a fatherly tone.
"We love you too, Daddy. Tell Jenny I said hi," replied Buffy before handing up the phone. "Now what are you two fighting about now?" she asked giving two of her top model's a smile to hide the head ache she knew she was going to get from these two.
"Faith, ruined my photo shoot the morning," accused Willow giving the brunette a dirty look. "Just because she doesn't look like the prom queen type doesn't mean she has to ruin it for the rest of us," she argued.
"Well, Will, I why don't we…," said Buffy, but she was interrupted by Faith's comments.
"I don't want to model the evening gowns. That's not my scence, but when little miss princess here takes my photographer, and sends me the crappy one, then that does piss me off," Faith shot back returning Willow's evil glare.
"I did not steal your photographer; he volunteered to work with me. Mine is working with Angelus today, so I needed another one. It's not my fault that everyone else thinks you're a little slut, and doesn't want to work with you," yelled Willow upset. She couldn't stand Faith, she never could. Ever since they where children Faith was always blaming her for stuff that she herself brought on.
"Watch it," threatened Faith standing up," or you're not going to be working for a while," she said walking over to where Willow sat.
"That's enough," yelled Buffy fed up with Willow and Faith's arguing. "You two are acting like children, instead of professionals," she said in a harsh tone causing both the models to sit back down and look at their boss. "I will not put up with your bickering," she told them flat out. "Willow, you have the evening gown line, Freddie, is your photographer today and he will be for the rest of the week. Faith, you are working with Ben on school girl uniforms. Willow, you are on the first floor, Faith, you are on the third. Stay away from each other," she pointed out walking around to the front of her desk. "If I hear of you two fighting one more time, I will pull both of you off the shoots and give them to two models who can handle a professional working ship. Any questions?" she asked crossing her arms giving both models a look that just said 'don't push it.'
"What should I tell Warren?" asked Willow in a small voice, as she referred to her photographer.
"Tell him that he has the rest of the day off and Freddie will be covering your shoot. The evening gown shoot should be done by today, and at the latest early tomorrow, and then you have the rest of the week off. Faith, the school uniform shoot just started today. Gwen Electric is the model working on it as we speak, let Ben know that I have put you on the shoot too. That is schedule to be done by next Monday, and then I want you to take the rest of the week off," she told the two girls.
"Okay," replied Faith calmly. She didn't want to see her boss get any angrier. Buffy was a friend of both her and Willow's but both of them knew when not to push her, and at that moment one more complain and she had a feeling her and Willow would regret it. "See you later, B," she said getting out of her chair and headed out the door.
Buffy took a deep breath and walked back around her desk to her chair. Sitting down she began looking at her daily schedule, when she noticed that Willow was still sitting in the chair," Willow, do you need something else?" asked Buffy trying to calm her voice down. Willow was one of her closet friends, and she didn't like yelling at the red head, but Willow need to learn to act more like a professional.
"I'm sorry, Buffy, I didn't mean to make you upset," she apologized. "I know putting up with Faith and I probably am not easy for you, and at times you want to choke us both," she said understanding her boss/friends view pointed.
"Will, I know you and Faith don't like each other, and I can understand why," admitted Buffy looking up at her friend," I just wish you would get along long enough to work," she explained with a sigh. "You two are my friends, and I hate to see you fight as your friend, and as your boss it upsets me because this is my company and when my model's fight that doesn't speak highly of them or me," she added changing her tone to more of a calm one.
"I understand," replied Willow giving her friend a smile. "So I hear that you and Angelus went out last night," she said changing the subject.
"We did," said Buffy glowing at the thought of Angelus. "Will, he is so incredible. He took me out to eat and then ice-skating, and he held me. Then his kisses," she gushed.
"You really like him, don't you?" asked Willow a smile adorning her face as she watched her friend light up like a Christmas tree as she talked about Angelus.
"I do," answered Buffy truthfully," and he seems to really like me. Dawn told me the morning that Andrew was telling her how Angelus came home last night with a smile on his face and told Andrew how wonderful I was, and how he looked forward to seeing me today," she rambled happily closing her day planner Buffy was about to add a commented when a sight made her smile even bigger and her mouth to close.
Willow noticed her friend's quietness all of a sudden. Following the direction Buffy was looking Willow was too surprised to see Angelus O'Connor standing in the door way holding a box of fancy white chocolate candy. Willow decided that was the time to make her exists.
"Bye, Buffy," she said getting up, and headed out the door closing it behind her.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Hello," Angelus said with a sexy grin walking over to where Buffy was sitting with an equally sexy grin. "I hope I didn't interrupt anything," he said in a husky voice that made Buffy feel all warm and tingly inside.
"Not a thing," replied Buffy standing up so she was facing Angelus. "It's so nice to see you," she admitted before Angelus engulfed her in his big strong arms.
Snuggling into his arms, she felt at peace. It still amazed her that this big strong handsome man could make her feel so safe, and cared for. He was rubbing her back in a smoothing motion that made all the frustration she felt that day leave her body. Closing her eyes Buffy gave a little sigh of happiness before moving her head to look up into Angelus warm inviting face.
"You look like you have had a bad day, "he commented softly brushing his figure gently down Buffy's soft silky cheek. "How about I order lunch for us, and then I give you a back massage?" he asked lovingly. He was shocked on how strong of feelings he had for this tiny goddess in his arms. It upset him that she looked upset, and all he wanted to do was make it all better.
"That would be wonderful," confessed Buffy before giving him a slow lingering kiss.
This kiss like their other kisses held so much in it, that it shocked the both of them. Buffy's arms tightened around Angelus's neck as she felt his warm gentle tongue enter her mouth and started to play with hers. The feeling inside her started to heat up and she felt him move his hands from the top of her back to the middle. She squealed a little when she felt him pull her up against him. Their lips broke apart briefly so they could breathe, but they did not lose contact for a moment. It felt good to be holding each other, neither wanted that feeling to end.
"I've missed you," confessed Angelus softly as he took to kissing Buffy's long slender neck.
"I've missed you more," Buffy said lightly, moaning a little at the sensation that Angelus was creating in her. "Angel, that feels…," she said softly. "Don't stop."
"Never," replied Angelus in a husky voice as he once again claimed the tiny goddess lips.
'She feels like home,' thought Angelus as he felt Buffy's tiny little hands dance across his back in a sensual pattern. He could just image how those hands would feel else where, but they still weren't ready for that. Angelus knew he was suppose to leave soon, but now that he had met Buffy he didn't want to be anywhere else but in her arms loving her in every way he could.
Buffy was felt like she was floating as Angelus lowered her to the floor of her office and moved his kisses back to her neck, right to the sensitive spot where her shoulder met her neck. They weren't up to making love yet, but making-out was as equally fun, in her opinion, especially when you had someone like Angelus kissing you, loving you like you where a goddess.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Hello, Dawn," said Andrew spotting his girlfriend walking up to him.
"Hey," replied Dawn giving him a kiss before sitting down on the cement bench in their favorite spot, at the Sunny Park. "How's work going today?" she asked leaning back into Andrew's inviting arms.
"Great," Andrew answered handing her, her salad he had picked up for her. "We just nailed other account," he explained. "How was your day in court?" he asked referring to the case Dawn had taken on last month concerning a Computer company who was getting accused by the government of being a monopoly, that threatened other business.
"It went well, Mr. Zuzu, the owner of Computer Corp. has decided that he wants to settle for a sum of 1.2 million dollars, his partner Mr. Wesley, however, doesn't believe that they have done anything wrong and doesn't want to settle," explained Dawn opening her salad.
A cool spring breeze blew as the two started to eat their lunches from Marti's, a locate burger joint. Dawn loved spending time with Andrew, and with her sister coming home last night and telling her how wonderful it had been to be with Angelus last night, Dawn realized how much she missed Andrew.
"So my cousin tells me that he had a wonderful time with your sister, and that he is thinking about staying longer for that reason," said Andrew taking a bite of his Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato sand which. He had to beam when he though about how excited happy Angelus was last night when he had come home. Angelus had gone on and on about how great Buffy was and how he had never met anyone like her.
"I know," replied Dawn looking up at her boyfriend. "Buffy came home last night and completely told me that she was falling for Angelus, and she was going to see him again today," explained Dawn happy for her sister. "Which, considering Spike's back in town, I am glad that Buffy has someone who she likes and likes her in return," stated Dawn, looking up at her boyfriend who was now giving her a shocked look.
"Spike's back in town?" he asked surprised that Dawn hadn't told him about this earlier. He had heard horrible stories about this man who did nothing but hurt Buffy and treat her like dirt, and still claimed to love her. He had been taken back when Dawn said if Spike ever tried to hurt her sister again, she would make darn sure Spike never saw the light of day.
"Yeah," answered Dawn getting a discussed look on her face," and apparently he already tried to approach Buffy, but Angelus was there to make push him away. Like I told Buffy if he hurts her, I will make sure that boy never reproduces again," she added meaning what she said. "He hurt her to many times to count, and she seems to be happy with Angelus," she pointed out moving so she was in Andrew's lap.
"I know my cousin will keep her safe," Andrew assured his girlfriend earning a smile from her. "He protects the people he cares about no matter what the cost, and I can say with confidence that he cares for Buffy a lot," he said pulling Dawn's lips to his, giving her a softy gentle kiss.
Being with Dawn was always a great experience. She was smart, funny, and caring. Not to mention beautiful. All qualities he looked for in women was bundled up in this amazing woman in his arms, and he didn't plan on letting her get away from him. She was his soul mate and he knew.
Dawn snuggled into Andrews' arms before giving his cheek a quick kiss. Filled with happiness Dawn relaxed in her boyfriend's arms. He was so enduring to her. She had had her share of losers, and 'I'm stuck on myself' boyfriends, but Andrew was different. He was warm, and seemed to like her for her, not because she was beautiful or because her sister was Buffy Summers, World Famous Fashion Designer, it was just her in his eyes and she loved knowing that.
"I love you," said Andrew softly kissing Dawn's forehead as his right hand ran through her long baby soft brown hair.
"I love you," replied Dawn back just as softly snuggling even deeper into Andrew's embrace. She truly did love him, and that made her happy inside. She hadn't known what love from someone other then her family was for a long time, and it was a nice feeling to have back. She only hoped that Buffy and Angelus felt the same way about each other as she and Andrew did.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"That little witch," yelled Spike to no one in particular. "How dare she move on?" he demanded looking into his rusty mirror. "Doesn't she know that we belong together?" he angrily asked his reflection.
He loved Buffy Summers with all his heart and soul. He didn't understand why she didn't feel the same about him. Sure he had done something that she didn't approve of, but the dumb 'Bit' had done stuff too. She wasn't as perfect as everyone thought she was, and now she was with some other guy, in his arms, kissing on him, this thought just made Spike madder and madder as he thought about it.
He had to find some way to get her back. He had tried talking Riley into helping him, but his old friend had turned him down telling him not to go near Buffy, she was happy, and that the person she was seeing now treated her a lot better then Spike ever did. At first Spike couldn't believe Riley was talking to him that way. They had been friends forever, but Riley had told him, that he had changed and unless Spike changed himself he didn't have a pray to have a woman like Buffy, and he never would have Buffy again.
"Oh, poor Spiky," taunted a voice of cruelly.
"Shut up," snapped Spike at the voice.
"Spiky, can't have the girl he loves," the voice continued. "Poor baby, he should move on," it added wickedly.
"I don't want to move on," he cried out grabbing his head as a headache came on.
"Then don't," the voice said simply," but be warned she doesn't love you, and if you continue down your path of destruction, you're going to do something you'll regret, something Buffy will never forgive you for," the voiced concluded.
"Leave me alone, Sister of mine," snapped Spike turning to the voice, which belonged to his step-sister Darla Masters.
The blonde gave her brother a wicked smile before moving away from the wall," She doesn't love you, Spike. The sooner you accept that the sooner you can move on to a normal life with someone who returns your feelings. Like I said if you hold on to these feelings any longer, their going to consume you and you will regret it," explained Darla harshly. She loved her step-brother, but she had been down the same road he was on now, and it didn't end in goodness for her. She spent ten years in jail for what she did because she could let go, if Spike didn't watch himself he would suffer that same fate. Although the two had never really gotten alone Darla did not wish to see her brother suffer any more jail time.
"Let go, Spike," she said one final time before leaving the room.
