"I can't believe you just got back from England!" Buffy said excitedly to Angel.

The two sat on a bench outside of the mall, Buffy happily enjoying the ice-cream he'd bought her.

He was telling her all about his life, and seemed pretty open about it, which surprised her. What surprised her even more was that she found herself opening up to him, something that she definitely wasn't known for.

"You've never been?" he asked.

"I wish. It seems like I've been all over the world, except for the one place I'd love to go. I think daddy's just worried I'll fall in love with a British man and move over there."

"We wouldn't want that," he said.

Buffy could feel her cheeks redden and turned her gaze to her ice-cream cone.

She glanced over at his wrist, and saw that his watch read 4:45pm. She was supposed to meet Ann at the main entrance ten minutes ago.

"Oh shit," she said, standing up. "I have to go... My sister, she... Thanks for the ice-cream... Ice-creams. They were good."

He stood up as well and smiled. "Your welcome. I'll see you tonight?"

"Yeah, you will. Bye," Buffy said before running off.


Buffy laid on her bed in the hotel room, the phone resting on her shoulder.

"So everything's going good Wills? The slaying is under control?" she asked.

'Yep, so sit back and relax and have some fun in Hawaii for me.'

Buffy laughed. "I will. I just can't help but feel the need to sneak out and go patrolling. It's become such a normal thing..."

'Well we got it under control. Speaking of under control, Giles wants me to do some research.'

"Oh? Is there something big and bad? Should I come home?"

'No Buff. If it gets bad, trust me, you'll be the first one we call.'

Buffy sighed. "Ok. I should let you go."

'Yes, you should. Call me later and tell me how your date went.'

"Who else would I tell?"

'True. Bye Buff.'

"Bye Willow. Have fun researching while I lay here in my comfortable-"

Buffy laughed when she heard the dial tone in her ear, and put the phone back down onto the dresser. Sighing, she rolled off the bed and walked over towards the door.

Her brother wasn't there when she'd gotten back with Savannah, and he hadn't called her.

"If you're lying somewhere in a ditch Evan, I will kill you even more," Buffy said to herself as she walked back into her hotel room.

Her step-mom was still out, but Ann was allowed to be in the room by herself. It wasn't like Buffy wanted to be there while she talked on the phone for hours with her new found boy toy.

Flopping back down on the bed, Buffy glanced over at the alarm clock.

"5:15," she said. "Fourty five more minutes until I get to see hunky Angel again."


Six o clock came faster then Buffy had thought, and she stood at the mall, looking around impatiently for Angel.

"Stupid boys," she mumbled. "Always late."

"What's that?"

Buffy turned to see Angel standing behind her, a single white rose in his hand. Her heart melted at the sight, and a smile appeared on her face. She looked down to the rose, then up into his eyes.

"For you," he said, handing it to her.

"Thank you," she said. "It's beautiful."

"It's all I could afford," he said, smiling.

"So, what are we doing? I'm starving."

"I know this nice restaurant just around the corner from here, if you want to go. It's expensive, but I can always charge it."

Buffy shook her head slightly. "I'm not one for fancy food. It's nice and all, but I'd much rather get a burger and coke."

He smiled at her. "Then I know a great Mc Donalds just a few minutes away."

Buffy's face lit up. "Sounds like my kind of date."


:: Wow did that suck. I apologize, I'm busy. And I want to update as much as possible. And I know that A Different World is more popular, but I wrote this... And, yeah. But my life is busy now! I have one, lol... And school's starting... And I don't know when I'll be able to write. But I probably will be updating more when school starts. If that makes any sense what so ever... ::
