Sorry for the hold up. I'm really big on procrastination ; ). Anyway, love
the reviews! Keep 'em commin! Alright, so now the moment you people have
been reading this. The Bronze.
Still and always will be, Joss's...
__________________________________________
The bronze is full of people, and more are still pouring in. Heat rises from all the dancing people, making the club warmer than it usually would be. The band is playing up on the stage, their music on a more mellow level comparied to the other bands that were up for the past few nights.
It consists of a girl vocalist, guy on the drums and two girls on guitars. All wearing mostly black. A faster song starts, and more people move to the dance floor, causing the club to become even more louder.
Willow enters the club, looking over people's heads to see if she could spot Xander. She hadn't changed from what she was wearing to school earlier, thinking that it was just another Xander/Willow outing.
After looking around alittle, she concludes that he was apparently a little late, as he usual had done countless times before. Climbing the stairs to the catwalk, her plan was to stand by the rail and watch the entrence so when he got their, she would know.
After a few mintes, Xander appears in the doorway. Doing the same as the redhead had, he starts to look for her, just incase she was already there.
Seeing him at the door, Willow smiles, and watches him from the her perch on the catwalk. -he's looking for me..ugh..he's so cute- She thinks, not able to hold back. Her impulse is immediatly to go down and meet him, but she decided to take this moment and savor it.
Since she doesn't get much of these kind of moments when she gets to watch him and not have to be paying attention to something else.
Thinking she isn't there yet, Xander furrows his brow in thought. -she's usually right on time..hey! I'm supposed to be the late one!-
Noticing Xander wasn't having much luck in finding her, she decides to just go to him. Turning she makes her way down the stairs. Reaching the bottom of the staircase, she glances around the area. -I thought he was right there..- she told herself, furrowing her brow in confusion.
"Hey there, Will." A friendly voice greeted her.
She jumped at the surprise of the voice but turned around cooly. Xander's smiling face was there to greet her even more and she smiled. Out of habit..of course.
"Shall we?" He asked, guesturing to a nearby empty table.
Turning to glance at the table, she returned her attention to him. "Sure." Answered she, nodding.
They walk over to the table, as they had done so many times before. Though this time was different. This time it was just them. And no one else was supposed to be there..all night.
You could feel the slight awkward slience thing going on between them. Both of the teens trying to find something cool or witty to say. Though nothing came out..they just sat there.
For what seemed like eternity, they sat there in their awkward silence. In reality though, it had only been about five minutes. Willow nervously looked around the club, trying to see if anyone was there who might come over and break the silence. Since she was too nervous to do it herself. Xander on the other hand, had seen Cordelia enter a few minutes before. With another guy. So he had been watching them.
"Uh..wanna dance?" Willow asks, breaking the silence.
Returning to his redheaded friend, Xander smiles. -thought she'd never ask..- "Good idea." He agreed, standing.
Just to their luck, a slow song started, and the lights automaticly dimmed a little. Willow looked up, at first thinking something was wrong, but once finding it was fine, she looked back at Xander. A smile spread across her lips as he held a hand out to her.
Accepting it, they walked out to the floor and paused for a moment. This becoming a little awkward, though it was clear they both wanted it to happen. Slowly, the two closed the gap that was once between them.
Willow's arms found their way around his neck, just as Xander's slipped around her waist. The innocent smile still on Willow's lips, as Xander grew one of his own.
They stayed like that for almost half the song. Their gazed never moving away from each other. Leaning his head in a little, the brunette's lips brushed Willow's.
Willow closed her eyes, waiting for the kiss. -Come on..please...please God..- she thought. Still feeling his lips right infront of her's she opened her eyes for a moment. Only to notice that the song was ending and Xander had pulled away.
Breaking away, they just danced along with the faster song. Letting the group of people recover from that intimate 3 minutes. __________________________________________
After a few hours of dancing, eating and talking amoungst themselves and a few other people both Willow and Xander looked a little tired.
"Some night, huh?" Xander asked, looking up at her from his coke.
She nodded and sipped her cappuccino. "Yea. It's nice though. We don't get out much on our own anymore.."
Xander watched her for a moment, a soft smile on her face. He remembered all the times he had been out with this girl. Almost every night. They had gone somewhere, or done something. Until Buffy came along. They were always busy with demons and vampires ever since they had befriended. Although the boy had never regetted doing that. "It is. We should do this more."
"Yea, like, a Xander Willow night out. Xander and Willow's only." The redhead replied, smirking up at him.
He smirked back. "Well that only leaves..." he sarcasticly gasped and pointed to Willow, "you" and he pointed to himself "and me." finished he. __________________________________________
After talking a little more, both teens decided it was time to get home. Standing, Xander helped Willow with her jacket before they both turned and headed for the door.
They start walking out of the alley where The Bronze is located, still lightly talking.
As they're walking, a blonde girl sees them and smiles, but then quickly looks away and back up to the guy she was with.
Willow sees the girl, and smiles, waving a hand. "Hey Buffy..and, Angel?" She asks, furrowing her brow as both couples stop walking.
"Uh..hi guys.." Buffy greets, a little skyly.
Angel just nods in greeting, not saying anything.
Xander quirks a brow, but then shakes it off. "Hey..whatcha doin over this side a town?"
Buffy glances towards the doors of The Bronze. "We were headed to The Bronze.." answers she.
Willow nods, then getting it smirks. "So you two are on a date?"
Angel smiles at hearing this, but keeps his mouth shut.
She glances up at the smiling vampire, then turns her gaze back to her friends. "Yea..sorta.."
Xander glances down at Willow, then back at Buffy and Angel. "Cool..well um..we'll see you Monday then.."
The Slayer nods. "Yea..see ya.."
After saying their final goodbyes, Willow and Xander walk away and so to Buffy and Angel. Both couples a little surprised to see one another.
The two continue walking, turning here and there. Obviously headed for Willow's house. As they turn onto her street, she looks up at him, a questioning look on her face.
"Xander, is this a date?" She asks quirking her brow a little.
Caught off gaurd by her question, the brunette nervously looks down at her. "Uh..what would make you think that?"
"Well, because Buffy wasn't with us..and, it was..different than what it's usually like.." She answers.
-You caught me. Yes! Willow this is a date! Just tell her it's a date!- He screams to himself, but manages to keep his cool. "I guess it is.." He looks back down at her, "but only if you want it to be.."
-Yes! A date with Xander! Finally!- She mentally tells herself. On the outside though, she almost lights up. "It can be a date.."
They reach her front doorstep. Both of them smiling. Willow stands infront of the door and waits for her friend to say something.
"Good..a date. Me and you. On a date." He mumbles, nodding.
Noticing he's trying to convince himself to kiss her, she rolls her eyes and just smiles at him. "Xander, if you're going to kiss me, just kiss me already."
He looks up at her, giving her a look to say 'You read my mind'. A smirk crawls up on his face and he slowly inclines his head. Just as he had done at The Bronze, their lips brushed each other, though this time instead of pulling away, he closed the gap with a kiss.
Willow inwardly smiled, content. She returned the kiss, as if it was her very last. Her arms lifted from her sides and once again found their way around his neck. Just as she felt his arms wrap around her waist.
They stayed like that for a moment, until the both pulled away from much needed air.
"'Night, Xand." Willow told him, retrieving her arms and opening the door behind her.
He smiled. "I'll call you."
Before stepping into the house, she smirked. "You better." With that, she entered her house and closed the door behind her. Leaving Xander on the door step.
After a moment, he turned and started walking back towards the street. Heading for his own house. -You did it, buddy. A date and a kiss! Go you!- He congratulated himself and continued on his way.
-He kissed me! He really kissed me!- Willow mentally cried out. -And he better call soon...- She added, before dissapearing into her room.
Heh. There ya go. The date and a kiss! Wowie! Two in one! The next chapter'll be up soon. No worries.
Still and always will be, Joss's...

She glances up at the smiling vampire, then turns her gaze back to her friends. "Yea..sorta.."

-He kissed me! He really kissed me!- Willow mentally cried out. -And he better call soon...- She added, before dissapearing into her room.
Heh. There ya go. The date and a kiss! Wowie! Two in one! The next chapter'll be up soon. No worries.
