Part 8

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

            "Giles, have you seen the morning paper?" asked Jenny Summers walking into her the bedroom of the hotel they were staying at.

            Giles Summers looked up at his new wife and smile," I haven't had the chance too, why is there something wrong?" he asked taking the paper from his dark hair beauty.      "Look at living section," instructed Jenny, knowing that once her husband read that article they would be on the flight back to America sooner then they had planned.

            Giles did as his wife instructed and opened it up. What he saw both surprised him and scared him.

            'Famous Designer Hurt'

            Los Angeles-Fashion Designer Buffy Summers was attack in her home late Saturday night, by her ex-boyfriend. According to reports, Miss Summers was at home by herself at the time of the attack. Her ex-boyfriend, William Hunter, who goes by Spike, hurt Miss Summers knowing that she had a restraining order again him. No one from Miss Summers business or herself has made any comments on these aligations.

            The new man in her life, the world famous model Angelus O'Connor had nothing to say when he was approached. All he would say was Miss Summers was doing fine, and she had no comment.  Mr. Hunter could not be reached for comments and his step-sister Darla would not comment.

            "What the bloody hell?" demanded Giles feeling anger over take him. That monster had hurt his little girl for the last time. He was heading home, this minute. "Jenny, call and change our flight," he instructed his wife standing up from their bed. 

            "I already have," answered Jenny closing her cell phone. "I had a feeling you would want to go home after reading the story. I have also tried to reach both Buffy and Dawn but neither one is picking up," she added answering her husband's first question before he asked it. Sometimes it scared her how well she new him. Her and Joyce had been friends in their earlier years, and when Giles appeared and told her of Joyce's death, she was sadden greatly. Over time, feeling developed between Giles and herself and the rest as they say was history.

            "Have you seen my brown jacket?" asked Giles as he threw his clothing into his suit case. He wanted to get home as soon as possible to check on Buffy, and make sure Spike never came near her again.

            "On the bed," responded Jenny as she too started to pack.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

            "How are you feeling?" asked Angelus to the petite golden blonde in his arms. He leaned back against the head board of Buffy's bed running his figures over her arm.

            "Better," replied Buffy snuggling deeper into Angelus's embrace. "The pain medication is working wonders on my arm, and you are working wonders on everything else," she commented smiling suggest up at him. "However, I do eventually have to get up and go to work," she added not sounding to happy about it," and you have a shoot today too," he said receiving a lightly brushed kiss on her forehead from Angelus.

            "No we don't," said Angelus, moving down to claim her lips. "We have all day to be together," he said softly. 

            "How did you pull that off?" asked Buffy thrilled with the idea of spending the day with Angelus rather then working.  She just didn't feel like putting up with arguments, complains, and nagging models today. Her arm was healing nicely, but it still hurt.  Angelus had ended up staying with her last night after they had dinner. It had been wonderful to fall asleep in his arms, and to wake up seeing him smile down at her.

            "I called Riley and told him that you needed rest, and he said he handle everything from there. He really is a nice guy," commented Angelus, actually finding himself like the guy he at first thought might be competition for Buffy when he first met him.

            "He really is a good friend," agreed Buffy laying her head down on her pillow," but I really don't want to talk about him," she added giving Angelus a flirtous smile.

            "Oh, and what do you want?" asked Angelus moving on the bed so he was now leaning on his left arm and his right hand ran through Buffy's long tress of golden hair.

            "I want you to kiss me," responded Buffy softly before wrapping her arms around Angelus neck and pulled him down into a kiss that began as soft and gentle, but soon heated up.

            Buffy felt the butterflies in her stomach flutter at Angelus's touch on her bare stomach as they ran under her shirt. She moan slightly as Angelus's tongue enter her mouth and started tangoing with hers.  He felt so wonderful, his touches were amazing, and his kisses she couldn't believe how much she wanted him.  Pulling away Buffy was glowing like the sun up at Angelus.  His chocolate brown eyes looked down at her asking permission to continue. 

            "I love you," said Buffy as if responding to his unspoken question. "Angel, I want you.  When I first saw you I knew that I wanted to be with you and you where meant for me," she confessed as a light tinted pink graced her cheeks.  She had never been this out spoken before, but Angelus was awaking feeling inside her that she never knew existed and she didn't want them to go away.

            "I love you," replied Angelus as he felt happiness surround him at Buffy's confession of love. His heart flew as he looked down at the green eye beauty in his arms, waiting for him to move forward with their relationship. He admitted to himself he wanted her too," I have loved you since I first saw you," he added brushing Buffy's hair away from her lips.  She looked like an angel laying their waiting for him. Her eyes were so full of love that it was a surprise and a thrill to him at the same time.

            "Angel, make love to me," requested Buffy knowing that if she didn't ask him now she would be to shy to do it later.  He looked down at her in surprised, but when a smile graced his face and his lips started kissing down her neck, Buffy knew she had made the right decision.

            Angel moved down to remove her three-quarter sleeve baby blue shirt. Buffy felt nerves and shy when the shirt was remove. Closing her eyes she hoped that Angel would not find her missing anything.  When he cupped her chin and kissed her lips, she knew that what he saw he liked. 

            "You're so beautiful," he said loving kissing from her collar bone all the way down to the waist of her blue jeans.

            "You're not so bad yourself," commented Buffy lost in the sensation that Angel was causing with in her. Her hands moved from her bed spread up into Angelus's soft spike brown hair.  He was creating such a strong feeling within her that all the nervousness she was beginning to feel faded away before they even really got the chance to begin. Buffy gasped as she felt her jeans disappeared along with her Victoria Secret under wear.

            Angelus was about to start kissing her further down when he felt Buffy pull him up to her."

            "Love, are you okay?" asked Angelus," is your arm hurting, do you want to stop?" he asked concern evident in his voice.

            "Never," responded Buffy with a giggle." You just have too much clothing on," she answered placing her free hand under his white T-shirt and began to move it up his body to discard it.

            Buffy felt Angelus hard firm muscles and she discards his T-shirt and moved on to his black jeans.  Freeing him from the jeans and his CK boxers, Buffy smiled up at him.  She felt like she was on air the minute Angelus claimed her lips in a searing kiss.

Pulling back Angelus looked down at his Angel when she started to kiss his chest, he sigh in pleasure, and knew that they were making the right decision.

            "I love you, Buffy," said Angel softly before turning out her lights.

            "I love you, Angel," replied Buffy as she felt him enter her gentle and slowly.

            The only sound that could be heard for the next four hours where cries of true happiness, and loving words whispered by a gentle man and his love.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

            "Dawn, what are you doing?" asked Andrew walking up behind his brown headed girl friend as she typed away on her office computer.

            "I'm making sure that Spike stays away from my sister," answered Dawn.  She had been on the phone all day talking to the LA police department about the restraining order.  They had told her that they couldn't do anything if Buffy didn't press charges. That lead to a heated discussion in where Dawn wanted someone to watch Spike and make sure he was staying away.  However, the police she had talk to had said there was nothing they could do, it was illegal to follow someone like that if charges weren't press.

            "How are you doing that?" asked her boyfriend, rubbing her shoulders to get some of the tension out of them.

            "I am ordering a door to be put in our house that has a peep hole and four different locks that can only open by either a key or someone inside the house. I am also getting our alarm checked out tomorrow," answered Dawn closing down her computer.

            "You're a good sister, you know that?" Andrew pointed out, he pulled Dawn's black desk chair around so he was looking at her soft silky face. "I love you," he said before giving her a kiss.

            "I love you," replied Dawn returning the kiss.  Standing up Dawn took Andrew's hand into hers. "You ready to go to lunch?" she asked her blond headed boyfriend.  Grabbing her purse and putting it on her shoulder.

            "Lead the way," joked Andrew making Dawn smile at his goofness. The guy could be so goofy sometimes, but she wouldn't change anything about him. He was perfect to her just the way he was.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

            "Let's go to Chandelles," suggested Dawn as the couple walked along LA Avenue. "I heard from Janice at work, that they have the best lobster there, and the best chocolate cake," she added happy to be out with her boyfriend.  She had been so tense since the other night, that she just needed some time to relax.  Dawn was pretty confident that Spike would have a hard time getting near Buffy's and hers house now.

            "Sounds like a good idea," agreed Andrew kissing Dawn's hand. "I find that listen to co-workers about place to eat, usually turns out to be a good idea.  Like Fred was telling me the other day that I should take you to this club called Black as Night," he explained waving his arm for a taxi. 

            "That would be fun," said Dawn excitedly. "I haven't been out clubbing for a while.  Dancing is so relaxing and fun," she responded getting into the taxi Andrew had gotten to stop.

            "How about we go tomorrow night, we can ask Buffy and Angelus if they would like to go?" suggested Andrew getting a bright smile from Dawn.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

            Buffy opened her eyes slowly as she yawned. She snuggled back into her pillow when she felt the light hit her eyes. Only for some reason her pillow felt hard and muscular. That's when the events from the last few hours hit her and Buffy's opened her eyes to see Angelus smiling down at her.

            "Good-evening," said Angelus smiling down at the petite woman who now held his heart and given him a reason to truly be happy. 

            "Hi," replied Buffy happily. She smiled up at him, her eyes danced with joy and body hummed with satisfaction.  She didn't regret what they did for a minute.  She was in love and she knew he was truly in love with her.

            "You were amazing, you know that," commented Angelus brushing his figure softly against Buffy's smooth silky cheek.  He traced the lining of her smile and pulled her close to him.  She was glowing and he felt terrific knowing he had caused that with in her.

            Buffy kissed his lips," You weren't so bad yourself," she mumbled before kissing him again.  He had been so gentle with her through out their love making. She had had sex one time before, but in no way did she feel anything like she felt with Angelus when he made love to her for four hours.  The man in front of her continued to surprise her with every touch, every word. He had whispered such loving words to her, and his kisses felt so wonderful everywhere they had touched.

            "How's your arm?" asked Angelus asked indicating the arm in the sling. "I didn't hurt it did I?" he asked hoping he hadn't.  Buffy didn't cry out in pain when they were making love, but still…

            "I'm fine, My Angel," she assured him. "I didn't feel any pain, I was to distracted," she commented giving him a lusty smile. "I wonder why?" she teased before feeling herself being pushed back into her mattress.

            Angelus smiled down at her," How about I show you why," he commented causing Buffy to get excited. 

            "Bring it on," challenged Buffy using her good hand to pull Angelus down on her and her lips met his in a dance older then time itself.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

            "Giles, are you sure that we shouldn't just call the girls' house again before we go barging in?" asked Jenny as she sat on the airplane with her British husband.

            "They're not answering, Jenny, and I know Buffy she won't press charges against that monster unless she is fully convinced, and Dawn will go after him with a passion," explained Giles knowing his daughters very well.

            "You are going to go after him as well, aren't you?" asked Jenny leaning back in her seat, but not taking her eyes away Giles.

            "I am simply going to make sure that he does not come near my daughter again. He had caused Buffy enough hurt, and from what I was picking up from our last phone call. Buffy seems to be happy with this new boyfriend on hers," replied Giles looking down at his magazine.

            "How did she meet him?" asked Jenny leaning her head on Giles's shoulder.

            "He did a shoot for her, and I guess he must have decided to stay longer," answered Giles kissing his wife on the crown of her head.

            "Attention please, we will be landing in Los Angeles within the hour please remain sitting," the flight attended said cheerfully.

            'I'm on my way home, girls,' Giles thought to himself.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

            "Buffy, do you want pizza or Chinese?" asked Angelus picking up the phone on the living room table.

            "Chinese," answered Buffy coming into the room holding to glasses of red wine. Buffy wore her pink pajama pants and rose pink tank top. Her hair had been comb out and laid in waves down her back. Handing a glass to Angelus Buffy smiled at his attire. He was dressed in his black jeans and that was it. His shirt still laid on her floor in her room.

            "Okay," answered Angelus making to call. He smiled at his girlfriend.  She walked over to the video cabinet and at the moment she was searching for something for them to watch.

            After making love once more the two had decided to eat something when both their stomachs started to growl.  Helping the other dress, the moved out of Buffy's room and downstairs to watch a movie and eat.

            Angelus hung up the phone and made his way to the couch while he waited for Buffy to put in the movie. She finally picked one and after putting it in made her way to Angelus, but rather then sit next to him she snuggled into his lap. An action Angelus didn't mind in the least.

            "What movie did you pick?" asked Angelus as he took a sip of his read wine.

            "Sweet Home Alabama,' answered Buffy laying her head on his should.  "It's a really good movie, I just bought it last week, and Dawnie has been on my case to watch it," she explained sweetly.  Today had to be one of the best days in her life, and it was all because of the man holding her to him like she was his world. She didn't mind being his world because he was hears.

            "Is it good?" asked Angelus, not really caring about the movie; all he cared about was the blonde in his arm. He wasn't into chick flicks, but if it made Buffy happy he was to willing to do it.

            "Dawn says it is, I haven't seen it yet," confessed Buffy relishing in the warmth Angelus always seemed to create within her.

            Angelus laid his head down upon Buffy's and the couple watched the romantic movie.
