Love you every day girl
Always on my mind
One thing I can say girl
Love you all the time
Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
Ain't got nothin' but love babe
Eight days a week
------------------
Buffy and Angel spent a whole week eating at fancy restaurants, eating Angel's romantic dinners under vanilla scented candle lights, and taking a stroll in the city beneath a starry night in the back a horse and buggy. It was a beautiful week filled with wonderful memories and soothing, romantic words. Besides the romantic dinners every night, every day they did something new. Monday, the day after they got back from London, they walked through a park eating hotdogs and feeding ducks.
On Tuesday Angel took Buffy to an abandon building that he was going to be working on soon. When they got there he told her to close her eyes. He brought her inside the building. When she opened her eyes she gasped. In the middle of the room was a small round table with a red table cloth that fell to the floor. On top were two white plates that had a flower design on the rims. There were two filled wine glasses. In the middle was a silver tray with a silver round cover on top. On opposides of it were two lit vanilla candles. Angel had taken the cover off to reveal a big platter of barbecued chicken. Out of happiness her eyes were a little watery. She was amazed that Angel went through this for her. Riley never would have done something like this! After the dinner followed Cookie Dough Fudge Mint Chip icecream and then of course ended the evening with making love on a blanket.
On Wednesday Angel took her to an old drive-in romance movie. They shared a big bag of popcorn and one sodas. Then they had a late dinner. They shared one plate of spaghetti and meatballs. They twirled some spaghetti on their forks and put in their mouth with their eyes closed. When their lips collided they realized it was the same strand. They smiled and bit down on the string, swallowing it. Angel's grin grew immensely when returned to her lips for a sweet kiss. Buffy wrapped her arms around him pulling him closer. Angel put his fingers through her hair. He lowered his hand to her back and the her butt. Still kissing, she giggled then pulled Angel closer over the table. She moved in closer to remove his shirt. In doing so they both lossed their balance when they flung it across the room and got their hands in the spaghetti which flew everywhere. They both laughed, kissed more, not caring about the spilled contents and mess on the floor. They completely forgot about spilled wine, sauce all over the place when their clothes were fully gone, hands roaming all over each other's body and making love.
Thursday was spent half the morning cleaning up the mess. Angel didn't want to wake sleeping beauty so he wiped the sauce off her body and carried her to the bedroom, placing her in the bed. He kissed the side of her neck, got dressed and then cleaned the dining room. When Buffy woke up LeeLou was sitting on her legs. She stuck her arm out from under the covers and pet LeeLou's head. She grabbed Angel's robe and wrapped it around her cold body. There was a note on the dresser, it said, "Sweetheart, I've just gone out to buy the newspaper I'll be back very soon."
"Well while I wait for him to get back I'll take a warm shower."
Buffy walked into the bathroom, turned on the water and put her hand under the water to make sure it was just right. She got in, closed the shower door and was standing, her back facing the spray. Angel slowly opened the door grinning. *God, she's beautiful,* he thought. He quietly closed the door. He startled her when he touched her. "Sorry, love."
"It's ok... I didn't hear you."
"That was the point." He purred.
Angel slowly let his hands travel to her stomach. His hands traced little circles as he kissed her neck. She elicited a moan. Buffy leaned her head back to rest on his shoulder. He kissed the area between her neck and shoulder. He turned her slightly and kissed her breast. She smiled. "That must be my goodmorning kiss."
Angel nodded. "It is, but I have something better in mind."
He turned her back to her original position. He kissed her cheek, her shoulder, her neck and then one hand slowly 'walked' down to the core of her heat. She gasped in response and bucked towards his hand, urging him on. "Don't stop."
"I wasn't planning to." He said in husky voice.
He inserted to fingers into her. He kissed her neck some more as he moved his fingers in and out. Buffy urged him even more. She arched her back giving Angel leverage to the front of her neck and kissed the spot making her moan loudly. "God!"
Angel rubbed her gently and said, "You know you've been saying 'God!' a lot lately. I'm beginning to worry that you might like god more then me."
She laughed and moaned, "N-nooo... I - I love" Angel inserted another finger. "Ooh! love only" He pulled his fingers out and massaged her breasts. "only you, Angel."
Angel turned her around and kissed her breasts. "Good." They both grinned. "So, what do you want to do today?"
Buffy grinned. She gave him little kisses on his chest making a downward trail. She paused, "You know what I want to do all day."
He smiled, "You think we can make it ---" before Buffy kissed him in the most sensitive area. "Mmm...I think we can."
On Friday Angel took her to meet his parents. They were nice people. They had steak and vegetables for dinner and for dessert they had strawberry shortcake. Angel's parents asked Buffy some basic questions about her life and if her feelings for Angel were serious. Of course Buffy had said, "Yes. I love Angel very much."
He had to grin. They said goodnight to his parents, went home and played some romantic music with lit candles. Buffy and Angel danced to slow music, grinning at each other. "Angel, I really do love."
He smiled down at her and softly said, "I know you do."
She rested her head on Angel's shoulder and closed her eyes. "More then life itself."
"And I feel the same about you."

Saturday was spent walking through the park. They had a picnic of fruits, barbecued chicken and cookies. There was a lot of kissing between the two. LeeLou managed to get a turn at kissing Buffy and Angel. Later that evening they went to Buffy's house. She gave him the grand small tour and invited Joyce Summers over for dinner while Angel prepared dinner. Joyce had ask, "What's the dinner for? You and Riley?"
"No, mom. Riley and I are over. There's someone I want you to meet. Come here at 6:30." She said and hung up. She walked to the kitchen and asked Angel, "So how's the chicken coming?"
"It's all good."
"Ok, I'll put together the salad. She's coming in an hour."
One hour went by and there was a knock on the door. "Mom." She greeted, "Come in."
Joyce smiled, "So who's the man I'm going to meet?"
She smiled. "Come on." She led her to the dining room and her mom sat down.
Buffy went to help Angel bring in the food. They returned shortly. "Mom, this is Angel Conner my boyfriend. Angel this is my mom, Joyce." She grinned.
Joyce smiled, "It's nice to meet you. How long have you two been seeing each other?"
"Almost a week. We met..." she smiled at Angel. "on a plane."
"A plane?" Joyce asked.
Buffy nodded and Angel said, "It just kinda took off from there. I love your daughter very much. I just want you to know that with what happened the we--"
Buffy cut him off, whispering to him, "I haven't told her yet."
"Sorry." He whispered back. "You should tell her now." *I mean of couse her mother knows that the wedding was off, but why it was canceled she doesn't know. I bet she'd feel pretty bad about setting Buffy up with such an arrogant prick.*
"Uh, mom. The reason that I broke off the wedding was... Riley is a-a disgusting pig. You set me up with a pig, mom." *Sorry mom. Didn't mean for it to come out that way, but it's the truth. You've got way bad judgement in men!* She continued, "The night before the wedding in the hotel I saw him with another girl nicely entangled in his arms. So I just left. I'm sorry that I didn't call to tell you or anything."
"It's ok honey and... I'm sorry. I should have known better then to push him on you."
Buffy smiled. "Well, Angel made this great looking chicken so let's dig in huh?"
"Yeah." Joyce replied.
After Joyce left and they had cleaned up, they went into Buffy's room. They both got undressed except for their underwear. Buffy had her head on Angel's chest. He stroked his fingers through her hair. That seemed to be his favorite thing lately and Buffy loved it 'cause it made her all tingly. She was really quiet, hung up in her thoughts. Angel gently whispered, "You okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine, thanks." She smiled. "Don't worry Angel, I'm over it really. It's just I think some anger mostly resurfaced for a bit back there. I didn't really mean to blame it all on my mom. And I could tell by looking in her eyes she felt really bad about it."
"It's not a big deal Buffy. You have a right to vent a little. Even on your mom. You shouldn't bottle things up. You felt you needed to tell your mom that and you did. It's perfectly ok." He kissed her lips.
"Mmm... You're sweet.
"Goodnight love." Angel whispered before turning off the light.

On Sunday Buffy went out to spend some time with her friends. Before night fell, Angel made barbecued chicken, greek salad and set aside a plate of mozzarella cheese. Angel placed a red table cloth on the table. On top of that he put strawberry and vanilla scented candles. He placed the food on the table. Next to the plates he place napkins folded in a triangle. When he heard the door open he ran to greet her. He took her hand and pulled her into the dining room. She gasped, "Angel!"
She jumped into his arms and they hugged. She let go of him, put her hands on his head and kissed him. "Angel this is beautiful."
He grinned. "One second."
He walked over to the CD player and put on "All You Need Is Love", by the Beatles. Buffy sat down while Angel brought in the food. "Let's dig in." He smiled. "Buffy, do you know why I picked this song?"
"Why?" She took a bite of the chicken. "Angel this is delicous."
He smiled in thanks. "I picked it because... I'm very successful as you know. I've got money and friends, but there was one thing missing from my life. Love. All I need is love. All you need is love to be happy."
She grinned and leaned over to kiss him. He got some of the chicken from her mouth. They giggled. "All week my love has been growing. I want you to know that you've made me a very happy man."
"You've made me a very happy woman."
"Eight Days A Week", by the Beatles came on.

Love you every day girl
Always on my mind

"Every day I love you. I can't stop thinking about you. I mean I know we've been together for a week. We've been together pretty much every second." He chuckled, "You're always on my mind."

One thing I can say girl
Love you all the time
"I'll always love you. You're my baby. My sweetheart. You're the sweetest candy I've every tasted."
Buffy giggled and grinned. Her eyes got watery. "You are my world. I can't stop thinking how lucky I've become. There's no one in this world that can make me as happy as you do."
"I'll love you forever." Angel smiled and kissed her cheek.
"I'll love you forever even more!" They chuckled.

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
Ain't got nothin' but love babe
Eight days a week
"I don't want to go a day without being able to hold you." Angel got up from his seat and got down on one knee next to her. Tears trickled down her cheeks. "All I want is your love baby. Just--"
"Eight days a week you'll have my love." Buffy continued.
Angel smiled. He took out a velvet box and opened to reveal a silver ring with a beautiful diamond. "Buffy, love, sweetheart. Will be mine? Will you marry me?"
Buffy wiped away more tears and choked a laugh. "Yes. Yes! Oh god Angel yes! I'll marry you. I want to be with you forever!"
Angel put the ring on her finger. They kissed and kissed and kissed. Then he carried her to the bedroom and shut the door.
