Chapter 5: Forever?

Buffy P.O.V.

Angel insisted that we go back to the Magic Box and show off some more. I can't say that I mind at all. A studly man with his lips on mine would be heaven. I'd love to show off. I'd be perfect if only Anya would stop saying that we've had sex, which we HAVEN'T!!!

"I had a really great time, Angel," I say to him.

He looks over. "So did I. You're not half bad," he chuckles.

"Thanks. I got to tell you that I've never seen Willow so excited. As you know, I'm always getting set up on dates and this is the first date that I've set up by myself in a good long while," I admit.

"Why?" he asks.

"I don't know. I mean, there have been some really nice guy's that I've met I just can't see myself dating them."

"You're picky?"

"I don't know. It sounds like it," I realize that was a bad thing to say on a first date thing. "I mean, I'm not racist or anything, but if I don't like his personality, then what is the point of going out and learning more about each other?"

"Good point. I just haven't met the right girl yet."

"That's also really important," I say.

"I think so. So, what do you look for in a guy?"

"Well, obviously, a personality. He has to be able to listen to me when I had a bad day, and just make me feel like I'm important. Do you know what I mean?"

"I do. I believe that what you're asking is very reasonable."

"I think it was. I'm not, like, rasist or anything. I don't judge people on how they look. I've dated guys that are not beautiful according to society, but I got too know them and got past the outer self."

"That's really great. I haven't dated much at all."

I can't image why not. He's smart, beautiful and can carry on a conversation. Why is it that no one would date him? "Do you know why that is?"

"Just like you, I've met some really nice women and they've treated me right and everything, but there was no real. spark between us. I don't really know how to explain it, but it just wasn't there. If it's not there then I can't be with that person and think that. I'm not that type of guy."

"That's good to know."

The car pulls up to the Magic Box and Angel looks at me. "Are you ready?"

"As I'll ever be."

"Okay. Stay there and I'll come around and get the door for you," he opens the door and walks to my side of the car.

"That's so sweet of you," I say as he takes my hand and helps out of the car.

"That's me," he smiles.

As we enter the Magic Box and we see Willow look up to see who's at the door, he leans down and captures my lips in his. His tongue gently runs over my lips, asking for entrance. I let his tongue explore my mouth, caressing my tongue. His arms wrap around my waist and my arms reach up and snake around his neck, deepening the kiss. I stand on my tiptoes to get closer to his wonderful lips.

I break away for much needed breath. We both gasp for air.

He moves my ear and says breathless, "that was one hell of a kiss if I say so myself."

"You weren't so bad yourself," I say, also breathless. That was one HELL of a kiss. Just as he leaning in for another kiss, I pull away and walk over to Willow. "Hey Wills. What did you do while I was gone?"

"Not much. I sold another unicorn to Harmony. I still don't know why she needs so many, but hey, it's Harmony. I've never figured it out," she looks up at me, "how was your date?"

Before I could answer, Angel was at my back and he rests his hand on my shoulder. I shudder at the light touch.

"It was wonderful," he replies to Willow's question. "Where have you been all my life?" he says to me.

"I've been here."

Angel looks at me like he wants to make out for hours and Willow senses that she should leave her alone so she quickly says, "well, I got to restock some stuff. I'll see you later."

"Okay, Will," I say, not really listening. "Let's site. Xander will be coming over from that table that he and Anya re at very soon.

Without answering, he sits down in a chair and pulls me into his lap. He takes my lips into another kiss. Although this one started out more passionate than the first. Oh, god. He makes me feel so good. I move so that my legs are straddling his, without disconnecting out lips.

"Good Godfrey Cambridge!" Xander exclaims.

Angel removes his mouth from mine, much to my displeasure. I turn around on Angel's lap so I'm facing Xander, but Angel's arms are still tightly wrapped around my waist.

"What do you want, Xander?" I ask, just a little on the annoyed side.

"I wanted to see if the Buffster was back, but she brought a friend. A male friend, no less," he says, as if he's never met Angel before.

"Xander, this Angel. You met him earlier."

"Oh, right. I didn't recognize him while you're on his lap."

I roll my eyes. "I think Anya needs you, Xand."

"Whatever," he sizes up to Angel, trying to make him look macho. He swiftly walks over.

"So, where were we?" I coyly ask.

"Well," he touches his fingers to my lips. "Right about here."

I kiss his fingers. He removes them and replaces them with his lips. He is the best kisser it the whole god damn world! I could kiss him forever. Wait? Did I say forever?

TBC.

I know. I'm such a tease. I'll try to update as soon as I can, but tomorrow's my birthday, 7/11. It's really lucky. Yeah, right.

Please review. It's my birthday!
