Author's Notes: I', soooo sorry it took me so long to update! I had MAJIOR writer's block. I thought I would just go into them dating. This starts up from three months after Buffy and angel meet. Which, if you remember, was around the time in the 2nd season that they were pretty hot and heavy. It takes to much time to put in that whole process. I wanna get to the good stuff!
Buffy was mowing the lawn when her mom pulled into the drive way. Joyce had just gotten back from her meeting with the divorce lawyers and her soon-to-be ex-husband. Buffy cut the engine on the mower and met her mom at the edge of the drive way.
"How'd the meeting with the lawyers go?" She asked, used to this routine her mom had with divorces.
Joyce shrugged her shoulder's and said, "Got his car."
Buffy nodded. "now that's an accomplishment." She and her mother laughed. It was an inside joke of there's.
They Began walking into the house when Joyce asked, "So, are you seeing that Angel guy tonight?
Buffy rolled her eyes. How many times would she have to tell her mother this? "Mom, he's not that Angel guy. He's my boyfriend. And, yes, I'm seeing him tonight."
It was Buffy's twenty-first birthday. She thought she and Angel would have an evening with just the two of them at his apartment. But, her plan's would quickly change.
Buffy and Angel walked up to Xander's House latter that night. They headed down to the basement, Buffy very confused.
Everyone jumped out and yelled ''Surprise!" Buffy jumped at the sudden noise. She smiled. "Thank you guys!" She squealed.
They all talked and laughed and ate for the next two hours. Buffy and Angel headed out after she thanked everyone.
"Angel, I thought you were taking me back to the dorm." She said as they headed into his apartment building. He smiled a slightly conniving smile as he opened the door to his apartment.
Buffy gasped as when she saw the tons of candles lit around the tiny apartment. "Angel-" was all she could choke out.
He lead her over to the bed and they sat down. He pulled out a small black box from his pocket. He pointed it towards Buffy and opened. Her eyes widened.
"It's a Claddagh ring." He began to explain. "The hands represent friendship, the crown loyalty, and the heart... well you know." He pulled it out of the box. "The Irish use it as a wedding ring. You wear it with the heart pointing towards you when you belong to somebody. Like this." He showed her his ring which was pointing towards him. He slid the ring on her left hand ring finger.
He leaned to kiss her. The soft kiss quickly turned into a passionate make-out session. Angel pulled away and said, ''Buffy, maybe we shouldn't." she shushed him by saying, "Don't. Just kiss me."
The two fell back onto the bed, and quickly lost track of time.
The next mourning, Buffy awoke alone. She gathered her cloths as she said out-loud, but still to herself, "No big deal. He feels bad about last night. I can just pretend it-" she was cut off by the bathroom door opening and Angel stepping out, a towel wrapped around his waist. "Are you leaving?" he asked.
Buffy smiled. 'I was silly to think he'd leave me after a night like that. He loves me.' she thought. "I have class," she told him as she went into the bathroom to get dressed.
Buffy hurried into her psych class an hour latter and took her usual seat next to Willow, who looked at her strangely.
"Weren't you wearing that yesterday?" She asked. Buffy blushed, and began to answer, but class began.
Half way during class, Buffy received a note from Willow. She quietly opened it and read. 'did you and Angel... yah know?' Buffy turned to Willow and nodded. Willow let out a squeal of joy. The teacher looked at her and Willow smiled apologetically.
When they left the class room that afternoon, Willow squealed again. "Oh my God! You actually did it!"
Buffy rolled her eyes. "Say it a little louder, Will."
"I'm sorry. But, wow!" Buffy smiled as they turned the corner. She was hoping Willow wasn't going to ask for the details. They parted ways and headed for their next class.
Buffy slid the key in the key hole to her dorm room latter that night. "Hay." Buffy dropped her books in surprise. Angel kneeled down to help her pick them up. "Sorry."
"No prob." They stood back up and their lips met for a short kiss.
"Do you want to do something tonight?" He asked as Buffy opened her door.
"I'd love to, but I have a mountain of homework."
"Breakfast tomorrow, than?" She smiled weakly. "Sure." He kissed her good by, than headed off as Buffy stepped inside. 'Is he being clingy?' she asked herself. Than, she shook her head. 'Nah. he's just want's to spend time with me.'
The figure had a perfect view of Buffy's dorm room from where he stood in the trees. He watched as she sat down at her desk and started her homework. He stood there until she turned her light off. When he was certain she was asleep, Angel walked back to his car, got in, and drove home.
