Chapter 4
AN: I'm sorry, this chapter is not very long. Next chapter will be longer, I promise. Druscilla and William are getting to know each other and William falls in love.
"I hope you can work in quiet and. . . William, what are you doing?"
Giles had watched in curiosity as William had made himself present and then stood. He proceeded to stretch his arms and clenched his fists. He closed his eyes and stayed perfectly still.
"Punishment."
"I'm afraid I don't understand."
William opened his eyes for a moment and smiled.
"I lost my temper today and then I have to call my sensei. Anger management, I guess. This is my punishment, I'll be quiet."
"That is good, I suppose. Go ahead."
Giles read in his book and looked up now and then. Druscilla sat in a far corner and was looking outside. William was still standing with his arms stretched out. It wasn't an easy punishment, Rupert Giles thought. He suddenly realised he had forgotten one of his books in the library.
"I trust you to be quiet." He said as he walked out. William wasn't about to move, when he heard a soft voice calling him.
"How long are you punished?"
"Another hour."
"What did you do to deserve it?"
"I fought Angel and I shouldn't have."
"Angel? Everyone fears him."
"Yeah well, I don't. Can't stand the git though. What did you do?"
"Dreaming."
"You do that often, don't you?"
"Ooh, you peeked." Druscilla huffed.
"Sorry luv, couldn't pass up on that chance."
Giles came back and they went quiet again. After another half hour Giles looked at his watch and let them go. He was longing for his couch and a nice cup of tea.
"Are you going home?"
"Of course, silly." Druscilla smiled.
"Can I walk you?"
She hooked her arm in his and together they walked the few blocks to her house. William was feeling on top of the world. This beautiful girl didn't mind in the least he was walking next to her.
"I live here."
"It was nice to meet you, Druscilla."
She turned to go inside when he stopped her.
"Would you. . . would you like to go out with me some time?"
Dru bowed her head.
"Angel wouldn't like it."
William clenched his teeth. That guy again! Couldn't he get rid off him?
"Why Dru? What is he? Your lover, your brother?"
"Ex."
"An ex. Well then, what's the problem?"
"He hates letting go."
"So, he can move on but you're not allowed, is that it?"
She didn't answer. He came closer to her and whispered:
"Whether you like it or not, I am taking you out. Fuck him!"
Druscilla nodded and smiled.
"Tomorrow?"
"If you want."
"Can't wait, luv."
He kissed her on the cheek and let her go inside before he went away himself. His aunt would be mad for being so late and getting in trouble. But maybe when he said she was making new friends. . .
