Let Me Love You Chapter one. It's the beginning of seventh season and all summer Buffy and Xander have been spending lots of time together, since Willow is in England with Giles and Anya is off doing vengeance around the world. Xander then decides to do something about it. This is and extending version of chapter one. Read once again please.
Summer was slow for the remaining Scoobies still living the life in Sunnydale. Xander spent lots of time with Dawn and Buffy since he and Anya called it quits. It seemed that Buffy and Xander were regaining their friendship that they once had.
There was one night when the two went out to dinner. Dawn was at Janice's and they were celebrating Xander's promotion from his work. Though Buffy wanted to take Xander out, Xander was paying for the dinner.
Xander had planned this night for a very long time and had reserved everything down to the cider as the drink, since Buffy doesn't take in alcohol too well. When the cider was served Xander didn't notice at first that the cider did have alcohol in it. He was too enthused with Buffy who was wearing a pink halter dress with her hair half way up in waves.
"Xander this restaurant is beautiful," says Buffy. "And the lights are so pretty. Ohhh I love the smell. Mmmm it's so nice." Buffy then sips her cider glass all the way.
"Ah, Buffy," says Xander realizing she had just drank three cider glasses. "Let's cool it with the cider."
"Oh but it's so yummy."
"How about a toast with water." Buffy puts her water glass up and hits it with Xander's too hard. "Buffy."
"Oops." The glasses broke and a waiter comes by to clean the mess up. "Lets dance." Buffy gets up and pulls Xander with her. She moves around so much that she began to get dizzy. Xander had to lead her over to the table.
Xander looks at Buffy who was making faces. She had her hand over her tummy and looked at Xander.
"I'm not feeling well," she tells him. "I'm going to go." Buffy gets up and her shoe slips off making her almost break her ankle. Xander quickly helps her and leads her to the restrooms. Buffy walked side to side towards the restroom door and she was heading towards the men's room.
"Buffy wait," called Xander. He goes up to her. "This way." He opens the woman's restroom door to make sure and see that no one was inside then entered with Buffy. Xander opened one of the stalls and Buffy crouched down and began to throw up like crazy.
Then a woman entered the restroom and saw Xander inside. She then heard Buffy in the stall and understood what was going on.
"Could you just watch her for a minute," asked Xander to the lady that came into the restroom. "She'll probably be throwing up a little bit more. Put a wet cloth on her forehead when she's done." A second later they hear Buffy vomit some more.
Xander steps out of the restroom and heads over to the host of the restaurant and complained to him that they gave him the wrong cider. He specifically asked for the cider with no alcohol in it. The host was very apologetic and gave Xander the meal free.
He return to the restroom with his and Buffy's things. Xander saw Buffy sitting in the small chair of the restroom with her head to the side. He thanked the lady and helped Buffy up from the chair.
"I'm sorry Xander," Buffy said in s oft voice.
"It's okay Buffy," replied Xander with a reassuring look. "It's not your fault." Buffy gives a half smile and wraps her arms around him.
"She's lucky to have some one like you," said the lady still in the restroom. Xander looks at the brunette. "Hope she feels better."
"Thanks," said Xander as he tired to get Buffy up from the chair, but she couldn't get up. Then Xander picked her up in his arms and took her home. Her shoes fell off her feet and Xander grabs them and heads out of the restaurant.
When they arrive at the house Xander tosses the coats, her purse and shoes on the sofa and heads upstairs with Buffy in his arms. He puts her on the bed gently and pulls the covers over her.
"Xander stay please," said Buffy in a soft voice. She moves a little to give him some room on the bed. Xander takes off his jacket and shoes then lays besides Buffy. She quickly rest her head on his chest and falls asleep.
Then the next morning Dawn gets home and calls for her sister who is usually up early. She heads upstairs and takes a peek in her room. There she sees sleepy big sis and Xander on Buffy's bed.
On another night that summer Xander stayed up waiting for Buffy to come from patrol. When Buffy got home she found him asleep on the sofa. Buffy smiles when she sees him on the sofa with his hand sticking out in mid air. She heads upstairs and washes up then returns downstairs with a blanket. Buffy covers him and decides to take a little nap by his side on top of his other arm, but she falls fast asleep.
The next morning Xander found her next to him and at first he thought that he was dreaming until Buffy opened her eyes. She rolled over and found herself on top of Xander. All night she had used him as her comfy pillow.
"Opps," said Buffy as she got up slowly off of Xander. "I must have been pretty exhausted last night. I think I went to get a blanket for you and I fell asleep here."
"I didn't mind the company," said Xander as he got up. "It was getting kind of cold last night."
"You're comfy to sleep on," said Buffy as she kisses Xander on the cheek.
"Thanks," replied Xander. "Do you say that to all your comfy man pillows or is it just me?" Buffy turns around and throws a pillow at him.
"Don't you work today?" asked Buffy looking at a clock on a table.
"Yeah, I better go," said Xander as he folded the blanket and got his things.
Xander worked on re-building the Sunnydale High School, which was probably a big mistake but it gave Xander a living. Money to pay for rent and other things.
Present Day:
On the first day of school Xander heads to the Summer's residence to pick up Dawn and take her to school. Buffy insists on going and checking the school out. Xander drives over and Buffy opens the door as she calls Dawn to come downstairs.
"I made cereal," says Buffy as she and Xander walk into the kitchen.
"How is it that you make cereal?" ask Xander.
"You put the cereal and milk next to the bowl," says Buffy. "I saw it on the food network."
"Oh." Buffy takes a sip of her coffee and looks at Xander holding some big papers in his hands. "I've got the maps." The two go into the dining room and put the map of the school now on the table. Then he takes a map from the original school and puts it behind it against the light from a window. The map displays that the principal's office is where the library use to be.
"Does that mean the principal's evil?" ask Dawn coming into the room with a spoonful of cereal in her mouth. Buffy and Xander look at her.
"Maybe or who ever it is will be in whole lot of trouble," says Buffy. Xander puts the two maps down on the table as Dawn sits down to finish her cereal.
"Did you give it to her?" ask Xander looking at Buffy.
"I was waiting for you," says Buffy with a smile as she turns around. Dawn then gives Xander a look saying 'ask her.' Xander replies by shaking his head no and Buffy turns around. She looks at Xander who is smiling and has his hands behind his back. "Here you go." Buffy gives the small box to Dawn.
"Cool is it a weapon?" ask Dawn opening the box.
"Yes it is," replies Buffy sarcastically.
The three are heading to the school and Buffy is asking Dawn if she has everything. Dawn rolls her eyes for the fourth time as mommy Buffy worries about her little sister going to Chucky's favorite school.
"He probably went there. You know Chucky," says Buffy. Xander begins to laugh and finally pulls up in front of the school.
"Buffy you don't have to go inside with me," says Dawn. "I'll be fine. Really."
"Dawn you are going to the school that tried to kill me for three years," says Buffy. "You have to be careful."
"Alright inspector Buffy," says Dawn grabbing her books and opening the door.
"That's not funny," says Buffy turning around and taking her seatbelt off.
"Have a good day at school Dawn," says Xander.
"Thanks," says Dawn standing by the door. "Chicken." Dawn slams the door. Xander turns his head around. Buffy then looks at Xander before she exits the car.
"What was that about?" ask Buffy.
"Inside joke," says Xander. "I'm going to be late for work."
"Oh, sure," says Buffy leaning into Xander and kissing him on the lips by accident. "Thanks for the ride." Buffy quickly gets out of the car and walks over to Dawn.
As the two walk into the school Buffy begins to tell Dawn that all the students are delinquents and that she shouldn't hang around with any of them.
"Buffy weren't you a delinquent?" ask Dawn.
"That was totally different," replies Buffy. "I was a good delinquent."
"Buffy there is no such thing," says Dawn. "Oh, could you do me a favor and give this to Xander. I borrowed it the other day and forgot to give it back." Dawn drops in Buffy's hand a silver bracelet.
"Um, sure," replies Buffy.
"See you after school," says Dawn kissing Buffy on the cheek. "Love you. Bye."
