Part 10
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Dawn, will you calm down," said Buffy with laughter in
her voice later that night as she stirred the crème potatoes for their
dinner with their boyfriends and parents. "Dad seemed to really like
Angel, so that means more then likely he's going to like Andrew as
well," the golden blonde stated.
"How do you know for sure though?" asked a anxiety Dawn
adding sliced carrots to the beef dish she was making," what if Dad meets
him, and then decides that Andrew is not good enough for me," she asked
her smiling sister.
"He'll like Andrew, just like he likes Angel," said Buffy
again wiping her hands on her white lacey apron. "Now the crème
potatoes are done. I'm going to put them in the microwave so they don't get
cold really fast, and I'm going to now go change," she told her sister,
leaving the room Buffy ran up to her big room excitedly.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
'Angel is going to love this dress,' thought Buffy twenty
minutes later as she check herself out in her doorway mirror. She wore a
black knitted dress that fit her perfectly. It was sleeveless and
showed off her well tanned arms. On her feet were simply black strap
sandals. Her hair laid curled around her shoulders. 'I look good for
tonight's dinner,' was her final thought.
"Buffy, how does this look?" asked Dawn as she waltzed into
her sister's room wearing a dark green knee length skirt and white tank
top with beautiful beading on it in a decorative pattern.
"It looks really nice, Dawnie," commented Buffy happily.
"Now lets go wait for our guest to arrive shall we?" she asked moving
past her sister out the door.
"What if…?" Dawn started to asked, but Buffy pulled her out
of the room before she had time to finish.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It was seven fifty when the door bell rang. Jumping up
from her place Buffy made her way to the door, and sweetly opened the
door. The sight before her blew her mind and made her want him right then.
There in front of her stood Angelus wearing a two piece proper suit
pants, and a classy jungle green sweater. His usually spiky hair was all
nicely gelled up and looked really good. Beside him stood Andrew in tan
kanki pants and a black dress shirt, both of them looked to be really
nervous. The idea that they were made Buffy think how cute they were.
"Come in," said Buffy politely gesturing for them to walk
in. "How are you two this evening?" she asked leading them into the
dinning room where Dawn was finishing up placing the food on the table.
"Much better now," admitted Angelus taking Buffy into his
arms. "I've missed you," he commented before his warm loving lips
descended upon hers in a sweet tasty kiss.
"Hi," Andrew said taking Dawn into his arms. "This dinner
looks wonderful," he commented before giving Dawn a greeting kiss. "Did
you make it all by yourself?" he asked his girlfriend as the two of
them moved away from the two lovers who were still wrapped up in each
other's kiss.
"Actually, I made the meat dish, Buffy cooked the potatoes
and made the desert," explained Dawn sitting down in the chair Andrew
had pulled out for her. "How was work today?" she asked giving her
boyfriend a gentle squeeze of the hand. "My father is going to love you,"
she assured him when she noticed him looking a little nervous. "Buffy
promised," she added.
"Angelus said that your father was a nice man and so was
your step-mother," replied Andrew calmly, hoping his cousin was right.
"They are," said Angelus in his deep warm voice," You look
gorgeous," he commented kissing Buffy on the neck before pulling out a
chair for her to sit in.
"Thank you," replied Buffy as her face light up brightly.
"You don't look so bad yourself," she pointed out taking his hand into
hers. "I was thinking after dinner, maybe you and I could go for a
walk," she suggested feeling like she had just won the lottery being that
close to him.
"It sounds like a plan to me," agreed Angelus giving
Buffy's hand a kiss.
The door bell ringing again snapped both couples out of
their love gazes. Excusing herself Buffy made her way to the door to
invite her father in, however, when she got there it wasn't her parents she
saw standing there.
"Good-bye," said Buffy to the Billy-Idol Wanna Be shutting
the door in his face.
"Buffy, I came here to apologize," Spike's voice could be
heard from the outside.
Hearing Spike's voice Dawn came rushing to her sister
followed by the man in the room.
"Buffy, was Spike just at the door?" asked Dawn picking up
the phone to call the police. She was not going to have him ruining
her dinner at all. She certainly wasn't going to have him hurt her sister
again.
"Yeah, Dawnie, it was him," admitted Buffy upset about
seeing Spike once again. "Call the police," she told her sister, feeling
Angelus arms wrap around her waist Buffy suddenly felt save again. She
loved this man holding her so much, what was she thinking getting
involved with someone like Spike when all along the perfect man was waiting
for her.
"Yes, hello, this is Dawn Summers," Dawn said into the
phone. "I would like to report a restraining order being broke," she
explained. "The offender was here a couple of minutes ago, I am in my house
now and I'm not for sure if he's gone, but he is not suppose to come
anywhere near my sister who has the restraining order against him, and yet
he keeps doing it," added Dawn as she gave the police all the info.
"Stay here," Angelus instructed Buffy before motioning to
Andrew to watch the girls.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Walking outside Angelus looked around the perimeter, but
seeing nothing he was about to go back in when a male's voice stopped him
stopped him in his tracks.
"So you're the new pretty boy that is sleeping with my
girl," commented Spike walking out of the bushes. "You know she's a tease,
and once she's done with you, she'll spit you out and treat you
horribly," he stated pulling a white looking cigarette into his mouth before
continuing on," she'll tell you she loves you and you're the only one
for her and then one day that'll change and you'll be nothing to her," he
said getting anger and anger.
"Leave her alone, Spike," warned Angelus walking up to the
slightly shorter man. "I don't know you very well and quit frankly I
don't want to know you. However, if you come near her again I will make
it my business to make sure you pay for it," he added sounding dead
serious.
"The big Poof is a knight in shining armor, how cute,"
commented Spike in disgust taking a big puff of the white cigarette. "I'm
just tiring to get what is mine back," he said sounding as if Buffy was
his object.
"She is not a thing, Spike," stated Angelus getting really
fed up with this man, if you could call him that, in front of him.
"She is a loving, caring human being, and deserves someone who is going to
love her and tells her that she deserves all the happiness in the
world," said Angelus looking behind him. He waved at his cousin who was
looking out of the window.
When Andrew made a sign that the police where on their way,
Angelus had to smile," You're never going to hurt her again," he said
getting a disbelief look from Spike, who was about to say something when
a police car pulled up to the curb.
"She called the cops," yelled Spike in shocked before
turning his back and running to his motorcycle.
"Hold it," hollered Angelus grabbing onto Spike's arm,"
You're not going anywhere, but where you belong," he stated causing Spike
to gulp when he saw the deadly look in Angelus eyes.
"No," said Spike taking the white cigarette out of his
mouth and applied it to Angelus's arm causing Angelus to pull back in pain
at the burn long enough for Spike to run to his motorcycle and hop on.
"You're under arrest," a young police man said catching
Spike's arm before he could start his motorcycle. "You are being charged
with violating a restraining order, you have the right to remain silent,
any thing you say can and will…," the police droned on reading Spike's
his right.
Buffy ran out to Angelus to check his arm," Are you okay?"
she asked with concern. "What did he do?" she asked grabbing his arm to
look at it. When she saw the little burnt mark she kissed it tenderly.
"You can't do this to me," complained Spike as handcuffs
were placed around his wrist.
"We just did, Spike," commented Dawn walking to her sister
and Angelus with Andrew behind her. "You're going to jail, and this
time it's more then just a few months."
"Buffy, tell them to let me go," pleaded Spike looking at
his ex, who was wrapped in the arms of a man he really hated with a
passion.
"You were warned, Spike," said Buffy truthfully looking at
her ex. "I told you if you came near me again I would have you
arrested. Dawn did some work and you'll never come near me again," she told
him firmly, feeling really confident with her sister and her boyfriend by
her side.
"Take him away," instructed the male police man handing
Spike over to two others.
"Bye, Spike," said Buffy simply as Angelus kissed her
forehead.
"Buffy, Dawn," a fanatic voice called causing both girls to
turn in time to see their father and step-mother making their way
towards them.
"Hi, Daddy," said Buffy gently pulling out of Angelus arms
to walk over to her father who looked like he was going to have a heart
attack. "We're fine," she told him as he hugged her to him.
"What was he doing here?" demanded Giles when he saw Spike
being put into the police car. "Did he try something?" he wanted to
know, he was willing to handle the young man himself if he needed too.
"He just showed up at the door," answered Dawn receiving a
hug from Jenny," but Angelus had a talk with him and I called the
police. Don't worry, Daddy, he's not going to be coming near Buffy for a
very long time," confirmed Dawn giving her father a hug.
"Now shall we go eat dinner?" asked Buffy taking Angelus's
hand within hers once again. "Dawn and I worked really hard on it, and
it's your favorite," she told her father leading everyone into the
house.
"I am going to need you to come down to the station and
make some statements," a brown headed police officer commented catching
the family before they made their was back into the house.
"Can we come down tomorrow morning and make them?" asked
Buffy not wanting the dinner to be ruined by Spike's interruptions.
"Of course, Miss Summers, and May I just say, my daughter
just loves your clothing," commented the brown headed police kindly to
the golden blonde fashion designer in front of him.
"Thank you," said Buffy politely," I am glad, my new line
comes out next month if she is interested," she replied causing the man
to smile.
"Oh, she'll be interested alright," responded the brown
headed police man. "My name is Wesley Windemprice, by the way, and when
you come in to the police station tomorrow morning just asked for me,
and we'll get the papers going to make sure this young man doesn't bother
you again," he assured her.
"Thank you," replied Buffy, she waved at the police at they
left with a screaming Spike in their back seat. 'Boy I am glad to see
Spike in that car,' thought Buffy happily as she followed the people
she loved into the house.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"So, Angelus, modeling must be a very demanding job,"
commented Giles taking a bite of his beef dish. "Are you planning on
staying here or moving around?" he asked as the interrogation of the two men
his daughters were dating continued on.
"Like I said early today, I plan on staying here for
awhile. I want to be with Buffy, Sir," he answered getting a big bright smile
from Buffy as she squeezed his hand under the table.
"Andrew, how about you?" asked Giles satisfied with
Angelus's answer for now. So he moved on to Dawn's boyfriend.
"Well, Mr. Summers, I work here in LA so anytime Dawn needs
me I'll be there in a heart beat," he answered kindly. He was still a
little nervous when it came to talking to Giles, but Dawn was holding
onto his arm in encouragement.
"Daddy, how does the food taste?" asked Buffy deciding to
step in and give the boys a break. Her father had been asking both of
them questions left and right for the past twenty minutes. Both Angelus
and Andrew looked like they were doing fine, but inside Buffy knew they
were hoping to impress Dawn and her father.
"It taste wonderful, Sweetie," complemented Giles. "You
and your sister cook like Joyce," he said smiling at his girls, as he
remembered his late wife.
"Jenny, I love that blouse," said Dawn politely pointing at
the purple classy peasant top Buffy and hers step-mother wore. "Where
did you get it?" she asked taking a sip of her white wine.
"It's from Buffy's last line for older woman," answered
Jenny sweetly taking a sip of her red wine.
"I don't remember that being in your line," Dawn said
turning to her sister, who wasn't paying attention to anyone but Angelus at
that moment.
"Earth to Buffy," called Dawn snapping Buffy out of her
loving gaze she held with Angelus.
"What, Dawnie, did you say something?" asked Buffy causing
her sister and everyone outside of Angelus to laugh at her. "What?
What's so funny?" she asked wanting to know.
"Never mind," said Dawn shaking her head," You're
hopeless," she teased earning a piece of napkin thrown at her courtesy of Buffy.
"Look who's talking," Buffy shot back grinning when the
napkin piece landed in her sister's hair.
"Girls, not at the table," said Giles when Dawn threw back
her whole napkin. "Act your age," he said in a normal undertone. How
he missed moments like these. Ever since Buffy had gotten her own place
and Dawn had moved in with her, he had been lonely, even with Jenny, he
missed seeing his daughters running all over the house or getting phone
calls at all hours of the night.
"I am acting my age," commented Dawn placing her hand down
in her lap trying to look like a perfect angel," Buffy, is the one who
needs to grow up," she threw out.
"You started it," Buffy pointed out, and was about to say
more but sighed happily instead when Angelus brought her hand up to his
lips and gave her a kiss.
"I love you," Angelus told Buffy sweetly with her whole
family watching, all of them shared a smile before excusing themselves to
the patio to have desert.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Buffy leaned back into Angelus arms as he kissed down her
neck in little kisses," Tonight was perfect," she said softly closing
her eyes as a strong passionate sensation over took her.
After dinner and a little more talking Jenny and Giles had
been satisfied with their meeting of the two men in Buffy and Dawn's
life so they went home, and Dawn decided to stay at Andrew's that night
which left Angelus to stay with Buffy. Not that Buffy minded one little
bit, she was planning on talking Angelus into staying with her anyway,
Dawn staying over at Andrew's was a bonus.
"It's not over yet," confessed Angelus in a mischief voice
before capturing Buffy's soft lips with his. "I'm going to show you
over and over how much I love you," he told her when he moved from her
mouth to her cheek.
"Then what are you waiting for," replied Buffy feeling
herself getting really heated up, and wanting him so badly.
The rest of the night was filled a happy couple letting the
other know how in love with each other they really where.
