: Buffy and Angel, to perfectly (normal) strangers have been seated

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.
Nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.

---------------
Buffy Summers was in London about to be
taken forever. The night before the wedding Buffy was walking into the hotel
lobby (coming from her room) when she spotted her husband to be intimately
hugging... feeling another woman. The brunette had short hair and brown eyes and
was wearing a bright red dress, the hem at her knees. She had her right foot
massaging the grooms backside of his leg.
Buffy was about to shed tears, but suddenly
was overcome with anger. She walked over to the small bar asking for a glass of
wine. She frowned and confidently pranced towards the weasel. He caught
sight of her the instant Buffy was two feet away from him, glaring at him with a
flame of anger that quickly turned into hatred. "Buffy!" He gasped in
surprise. "It's uh, this woman just clung... it's not what you think
darl--"
She didn't give him one more second to
finish what he was saying because the minute she heard 'not what you think,' she
just splashed the wine in his face and walked away. The groom's lover looked at
him through disgusted dark eyes. "Pig." She said and left.
Angel Conner was slightly wealthy and an
amazing architect who loved staring up at a night sky filled with thousands of
stars. That would be the reason he usually flies at night. To be as close to the
stars as possible... get a better view. He thought about all the money he had..
his nice house - which really it wasn't all that big. It just had two extra
rooms and a big pool. Angel also thought about his work. His dream came true. He
was a very successful and talented. So he had money, he was successful, he had
close friends... but *what I'm missing in my life is...*
"Please! There's gotta be someone who
hasn't shown up for the flight." A young woman's cry disrupted his
thoughts. "I need to get on this plane tonight. I can't stay here any
longer!"
"I'm sorry Miss. Really I am, but
there's no room on the flight." The female at the counter said.
"What's the next flight back to Los
Angeles..." Buffy was interrupted by a soothing voice.
"Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt
you, but did you say you need to get out of London right away?" Angel asked
smiling.
Buffy calmed down. "Yes."
"I-I have a private plane taking me
back to Los Angeles." *God she is so beautiful. I could just image myself
holding her in my arms.* "Would you like to tage along?" He
continued thinking, *her hair having the scent of vanilla. Hehe Angel get a
hold on yourself. You don't even know her.* "The plane should be ready
in about 10 minutes if you'd like to come." He flashed her a smile.
*Wow, that's an amazing smile. His eyes
are hypnotizing. I feel snuggling against his chest... sitting in bed. Oh! Bad
Buffy. Back to reality Buff. Quick. I bet his skin is really smooth... like
silk.* "Miss?"
"Oh uh... you don't have to really
it's ok."
"Please, I don't mind at all. I could
use the company."
"What the heck. I really want to get
out of here. Thanks a lot. This means a lot to me." She smiled.
He smiled back and replied, "It's
really no problem. Can I carry you're bag for you? Miss.."
"Summers... Uh Buffy Summers."
She grinned. *He's charming. Polite. She frowned, Married no doubt.* She
glanced at Angel's hand as he picked up her bag. She smiled. *Apparently not.
Yay me.*
Angel Conner paused and looked at Buffy,
"Uh, Buffy Summers... you coming?"
"Oh heh Yeah. Didn't realize I was
just standing... here." She followed him to the gate. *Thinking about how
hot and unmarried you are.*
Angel sat down in a chair. He looked her
over. She had on a light blue, spaghetti strap tank top and a knee length
black skirt. She was wearing rosy red lipstick. Her hair was in a half ponytail
pulled back with a clip. She walked with such grace. Angel couldn't stop gaping.
He soon snapped out of it when she sat down next to him. "Mr. . ." She
began just remembering she didn't get his name yet.
"Angel Conner."
"Angel Conner. Nice name. You can just
call me Buffy."
"Buffy." He smiled and fidgeted
with his fingers. "You can call me by Angel."
"I can't thank you enough for letting
me fly with you. I just have to get out of here."
Angel smirked, "Running from the
London police or tabloids?"
Buffy laughed, "No. Nope not from the
police or tabloids. My wedding." She looked at her feet.
Angel frowned, "You--"
"Mr. Conner, your plane is
ready."
Angel stood up. "Tell the pilots that
one more passenger will be boarding."
"Yes sir." The flight attendant
walked down the ramp to the plain.
Angel put the strap of his bag on his
shoulder and picked up Buffy's bag. "I can get that." Buffy said.
"It's ok I got it." He insisted.
"Ladies first." He gestured at the ramp.
Buffy sat in the window seat of the plain.
The seats were wide, soft and reclined. There was classical music softly playing
in the background and a dim light. In the back was a 50 inch TV and a mini bar.
After they had taken off and the plane was steady in the air, Buffy glanced
around the medium size plane on her way to the bathroom. When she came out she
saw Angel standing at the mini bar with two wine glasses.
"Would you care for something to
drink, Buffy?"
"Red wine please?" Buffy asked.
She walked back her seat.
Shortly Angel returned with two glasses of
wine and placed them on the stand infront of them. "So... you decided not
to go through with your wedding?"
"Huh? Oh yeah. I was supposed to marry
this guy Riley Parker tomorrow night. He's just some rich loser. Today in the
hotel we were staying in I saw him tangled with some other brunette. I don't
think hurt just me though. That girl looked like she didn't know he was
engaged." She laughed. "I walked up to him and splashed his face with
wine!" She took a sip of the red wine.
"I'm sorry." Angel said softly.
"Why? I'm not happy that he did this
to me before my wedding, but now I know what sleaze he is. Imagine if I'd
actually gone through with the wedding I might have never found out that he'd
cheated on me or if he would in the future." She began.
"Are you going to be ok?" Angel
sympathized.
"I am ok." She smiled, "I
thought I was inlove with him, but there were times when my conscience was
telling me different." Her grin got bigger. "Plus now I've met you.
You're handsome, generous and sweeet."
Angel grinned and sat a little closer to
her. He was glad that arm rest wasn't down so nothing was between them.
"You think I'm sweet?"
"Yeah." She sighed. "So
enough about my disaster. Your turn. Why were you in London?"
He took another sip of the wine. "I
was just finishing building a hotel near the Plaza."
"Ooh, you're an architect."
He smiled. "Yeah, It's fun."
* I love his gorgeous smile,* She
thought.
* She smells so nice. It's the perfume she used
on her neck. I wish I could get a closer whiff of it,* He thought to himself
and smiled. Then he continued, "So I just finished the job. Now I'm heading
home to my puppy. He's a Labrador retriever."
"I love dogs. What's he look like...
as handsome as you?" She flirted.
He grinned, laughing. "Yeah he is.
Maybe more than me. He's black and adorable. I bet you'd love him, he could use
a woman around the house." *Oh my god, did I just say that out loud?
She's probably going to think I'm trying to get her to sleep with me.* "I'm
sorry. Heh, that wasn't supposed to come out that way."
"It's ok." She softly spoke
barely audible. "I bet...I would love your dog." *I feel tingly,
like... love at first sight?* she thought, her heart pounding with
excitement.
He thought to himself, *What I'm
missing in my life is... love. Buffy. She makes feel happier then I am. I
feel excited around her. She's pleasant. God, I just met her and now I'm
suddenly thinking I want to spend the rest of my life with her! I love... her
beauty, her voice. This-this is love at first sight. I know it. Should I make a
move? Maybe I should --*
*Should I kiss him? Maybe I'd freak him out.
I would look like someone who's just trying to get revenge on their ex fiance.
No maybe it wouldn't look that way. I mean I did make it pretty clear to him
that I'm over it. I didn't love Riley. How could I? There's no point in getting
revenge on him. So that's not my intentions then. I just...* Her heart pumped
faster at the realization. *Love him!*
Before Angel knew what he was about to
think next, Buffy quickly leaned in and started kissing him passionately.
Angel's moment of surprise was soon gone as his heart and instincts took over.
He put his hand on her back urging her closer to him. Buffy straddled him while
continuing kissing and letting go just for air. Buffy put her hands behind
Angel's head, running her fingers through his hair. Angel did the same to her
with one and while with the other he made the chair recline. He continued
kissing her with equal passion, rubbing her partially bare back. Buffy let out
little moans of satisfaction and the need for more. Buffy moved her hands slowly
to his chest, rubbed it and then removed his jacket with his help. He stopped
kissing for a second and asked huskily, "You ok with this?"
"I'm beyond ok with this. I think I'm
pretty in love with you at first." Buffy answered breathless.
"Same here." He replied.
Angel continued kissing her and massaged
her shoulders. Buffy grinned at him and slowly unbuttoned his shirt.
