I am so glad you guys liked the last chapter! I was kinda worried you know,
those heart touching moments are intense to write.
A/N: Ok, so Dawn's spring break would have been in April and she gets out of school in let's say mid June. She goes to an American school, cause of the language barrier, so it's like the US. Mostly cause I don't know how it works in Italy.
Ch. 8 Separating
"You're sure you have to go?" Angel asked Buffy as she was putting clothes in a bag.
They were both in Angel's bedroom; the sun was setting in the window. Angel sat on the bed as Buffy packed.
"Dawn has to be taken care of. She still has school, and I can't have Xander taking care of her forever."
"I'll miss you so much though." Angel said as he stood up and wrapped his arms around her waist.
She put her clothes down and put her palm to his face, "I'll miss you too. But we'll talk everyday, and I am only a 5 hour plane ride away, thanks to some high powered jets courtesy of formerly Evil inc."
Angel sighed, "It's not the same."
Buffy turned around, "I know. I just don't know what else to do."
"Stay here with me."
"You know I can't."
"I do." He took a deep breath; "You'll come back the day that Dawn gets off from school, right?"
"I'll try my hardest, but it's Dawn's summer break, not mine."
"You could bring her here. Lot's of fun to be had in LA!" Angel tried.
"She knows, honey. We used to live here." She kissed him lightly.
"I'll figure something out. I promise. Maybe she'll wanna come back. Or Willow, Giles or Xander can take her with them, she's always complaining about how everyone else gets to travel. I'll come back" She assured him.
She kissed him again and turned back to her packing.
"I don't want to do this." Buffy said, tears falling steadily down her face as her and Angel stood on the landing pad next to the jet.
"I don't either." Angel said, holding Buffy to him; his forehead pressed against hers.
"But I have too." Buffy stated, trying to gain some control.
"I know. Doesn't make it any easier."
"Nope. Ok." She pulled back taking a deep breath, "I'm going."
He held onto her hand until their arms were fully spread, then reluctantly let go.
"Talk to you soon?" He asked as she reached the top of the stairs to the plane.
"You bet." And she turned.
"I made it." Buffy said into her cell phone as she walked out of the airport and dragged her bag into the cab.
"Good." Angel said.
"I miss you already."
"Me too."
"This really sucks."
"I know."
"Why do I have to be a grown up?" Buffy asked as she sat in the cab, then told the driver where to go.
Angel just laughed, "Don't ask me."
Buffy sighed, "I should go."
"Ok. I love you."
"I love you too."
2 months later
"The time is now 7:15 pm here in Los Angeles. We hope you've had a nice flight." The pilot said on the intercom.
"Yeah. Real nice." Dawn grumbled, "My butt hurts."
Buffy laughed as she unbuckled her seat belt.
Dawn gathered her bag, stood up and stretched.
Buffy was the first to get to the door and off the plane.
"You're not in a hurry are you?" Dawn mused when Buffy complained about her sister being slow.
Buffy shot her sister a look and then softened, "Thank you for agreeing to spend your break here Dawnie."
"I'm not spending the whole break here."
"I know. But still thanks."
"Like I could refuse you your forbidden soul mate? Please. Besides, I miss Angel too."
Buffy smiled to her sister as she got to the car that Angel had sent them.
"Summers?" The driver asked.
"That's us." Dawn told him.
The driver opened the door and the sisters got in.
Buffy took a deep breath as the driver pulled out of the airport.
She smiled at the thought of seeing her lover again. She hadn't seen him since she left LA to go back to Rome 2 months ago. They had both decided it would be too hard to see each other for only the weekend and then separate again. They had spoken on the phone almost everyday, for hours at a time, but they both knew it wasn't the same thing as being together.
It hardly took any convincing to get Dawn to come to LA, especially after Buffy told her that if Dawn spent a few weeks in LA with her, she could go stay with Willow in Brazil, or Xander in Egypt or Andrew in Greece, or Faith and Robin in New York. She had several choices. Dawn naturally couldn't chose, so Buffy let her chose a few places.
The car drove past the front of the grand offices of Wolfram and Hart.
"Wow. Is this it?" Dawn asked in awe.
"Yep. Big huh?"
"Hell yeah."
The car pulled into the parking garage, where all of Angel's personal cars were stored.
"Here we are." The driver said as he parked.
Buffy and Dawn got out of the car.
"Thank you." Buffy smiled as the Driver handed them their bags.
"You're very welcome."
Buffy and Dawn entered the elevator and the doors shut automatically, and they headed up.
"Don't even need to push a button?" Dawn asked.
"It goes straight to Angel's floor." Buffy told her.
"Neat."
The doors opened and Buffy took a deep breath as the lavish offices came into view.
"Wolfram and Hart, please hold." Harmony's voice chimed, "Wolfram and Hart, please hold."
Demons and people alike strolled through the lobby.
Dawn and Buffy stepped in, their bags in hand.
"Woah!" Dawn said looking at their surroundings in wonder.
"Wait til you see the training rooms." Buffy whispered into her sister's ear.
"Rooms? Plural? Awesome!"
"Buffy!" A man said from behind the sisters.
"Hey Wes." Buffy greeted her former watcher with a hug.
"It's good to see you again."
"You too. You remember Dawn right?"
"How could I forget?" Wesley said, extending his hand.
Dawn took it, "Hi."
"Well I believe Angel is in his office with Ben, Gunn and Lorne. Shall we?"
"Lead the way." Buffy said.
Wesley led the Summer's through the lobby.
"I see you two made up." Dawn said to her sister, in reference to Buffy's behavior, hugging Wesley, a moment ago.
"We were never arguing. I never had a real problem with Wes; it was the council I hated. Besides he was there for angel when I wasn't. I owe him so much." Buffy whispered as they walked.
They reached Angel's office and Wes poked his head in, "I believe I found something of yours."
Wesley opened the door fully as the petite blonde and her taller, yet younger, sister walked into the office.
Angel stood up and walked to Buffy. She crushed him in a hug and a passionate kiss that made Lorne blush.
'It's good to be home.' Buffy thought as she held Angel to her.
More to come! Reunion love! And a proposition! R&R
