Conner was running around
the house naked, his tiny tushy wiggling. He was pretty fast for a two
year old. Angel had trouble keeping up with him as a single parent.
He stopped to get a breather. He heard the mailbox close and headed for
the door to get the mail. He opened the door and little naked Conner ran
out giggling. "Conner..get back!" Angel was now worried he'd
get hit by a car.
Buffy Summers a beautiful and graceful
young woman was walking when she saw a the naked boy running in her
direction. She stopped and kneeled. She put her hands on his tiny
shoulders and said, "Hey there little fella... Where're ya heading?"
The boy just giggled. Angel ran down the
steps and scooped Conner into his arms. "Don't do that again."
He looked at Buffy who stood up now. "Thanks for grabbing hold of
him. It would have killed me if he got hurt."
"The little guy too much to
handle?" She chuckled.
Angel smiled, "Yeah he is... It's
hard to raise him by myself."
"Oh. . You're a single
parent?" Buffy asked with much interest.
"Yeah... His mother kind of bailed on
us. You probably wouldn't be able to even imagine how hard it is raising
a two year old by yourself."
"I'm a single parent myself
actually. Same age.. two. She's not as energetic I don't think..
but she can be cranky... and she growls at people some times." She
chuckled. She extended her hand to him, "I'm Buffy. Buffy
Summers."
He smirked. "What an interesting
name. My name's Angel O'Callaghan." He said shaking her hand with a firm
grip.
His hand touching her made her
tingle. It made her feel warm inside. "Angel... that's an
interesting name too..." Her smile grew wider. "For a guy."
"What can I say... I'm in touch with
my feminine side."
"You're also quite charming."
She quietly said.
"I am, am I? Well, you happen
to be so beautiful that I think if anyone were to have the name Angel it should
be you."
Buffy smiled, "Thanks. . . And who's
the little guy?"
"Oh, he's Conner. Conner say
hi." Angel looked at Conner.
Conner giggled, "Hiiiii." He
waved his hand.
She chuckled, "Aww... He's so
cute.... Hi Conner." She waved back at him, then looked back at
Angel. "So... um I'm not doing anything this weekend... you want to
maybe go out somewhere?"
He smiled, "How about dinner, Friday
at 7 o'clock?"
Buffy smiled, "Great... I'll have my
friend Willow watch Dawn. If you want she can watch Conner too?"
"That's perfect. I'll bring him
over to your house.... where do you live exactly?"
"Right down the block. House
number 1630. " Buffy smiled, "Walking distance."
"Convenient." Angel smiled.
"Yeah..." She thought, "Too
bad his house isn't right next to mine, maybe then I'd be able to peak into his
bedroom when he's changing or when he's coming out of the shower..."
She smiled, "Naughty Buffy." Out loud she said, "Why
don't I give you my number this way you can call me... like to give me details
on where we're going, so I know what to where."
"I know exactly where I'll take
you. Just dress very nice." He smiled.
"OK." Buffy smiled and then dug
into her bag. Pulling out a pen and paper, she wrote her number.
"Here..." Angel looked at it.
"Thanks, Buffy."
"I better get home." She felt
like giving him a peck on the cheek.
Angel felt giving her kiss too.
Buffy stepped a little closer to him. "So, I'll be seeing you
Friday?"
Quietly he replied,
"Yeah." Buffy licked her dry lips. "I can't wait."
"Me too." She really didn't want
to leave, but they can't just stand there all day, so she did what she felt she
needed to do. "See ya." She said, pecking him on the cheek and
quickly walked off, waving to him from the distance.
Angel grinned like a baby. "She
kissed me, Conner."
The next day Willow and Buffy sat in the
kitchen drinking coffee. Dawn was tucked away in her little Barbie bed,
which had a short gate to make sure she wouldn't fall. "Buffy, it's
been twenty minutes and you haven't said a word except, 'hey, Will come in. I'm
glad you're here.'" She laughed, "Would you mind telling me why
you're so glad I'm here?"
Buffy sighed, "I think I've met the
guy of my dreams."
"Ooh, do tell." Willow
grinned, her eyes got slightly wider with anticipation. Since Buffy had
the baby and her last boyfriend aka delinquent father ditched her, Buffy didn't
have time to seek out a relationship. Plus her heart was wounded like a
bird with a wounded wing. Buffy's wing was broken. She couldn't fly
anymore. Willow was like the vet. She was always trying to fix
Buffy's wing. She always tried to set Buffy up, but eventually gave up in
hopes Buffy might be able to reach out again on her own.
"His name's Angel O'Callaghan."
"Irish." Willow mumbled,
grinning.
"Yup. He is so gorgeous. He's
sweet, funny, charming and" she sighed happily, "Did I mention
hot?"
"Sort of. Gorgeous and hot are
almost the same." The sweet redhead smirked. "Could this be love at
first site?"
"Mmm... possibly. We're going
on a date tomorrow night. 7:30. Which is why I need you to help pick out
a dress... also would there be any chance you could baby-sit Dawn and Angel's
son Conner?"
"He has a son too?" She
exclaimed, "How old is he? And yeah I'll babysit."
"Thanks." Buffy smiled,
"He's also two. He's a really sweet kid. I'll warn you
though... I think he has more energy than Dawn."
Willow smiled, "Aw, don't worry. I
can handle myself with the little rascals. I can't wait to meet this guy. Now,
let's go up to your room and find something nice."
Five minutes later and a bed covered in
dresses on hangers Buffy yelled, "Oooh! Will, nothings right.
They're either too dressy or not dressy enough."
"Did Angel say where you were
going?"
"No... he just said to dress very
nice."
"So we need a dress that is in
between pretty nice and very nice. A dress that if you go to a place that
isn't so fancy you won't look overdressed and one that won't make you look
underdressed if you go to a super fancy restaurant." Willow sighed,
"We need Cordelia for this one."
"I was afraid you'd say that... you
know how she shops. Whatever she picks out usually tends be way
expensive." Buffy replied.
"Do you want to look just right for
your date?" Willow said with her resolve face.
Buffy sighed, "Oh, fine. We'll call
Cordelia."
Buffy picked up the phone and stared at
it. Then she looked at Willow who waved her hands around for her to go
on. Buffy dialed the number. A few seconds later, "Hey
Cordelia... ... Not much except that I have a date. . . . ... Angel O'Callaghan
and yes he is a total hunk. I have a favor to ask you. ... Will come with
Willow and me to help me look for a dress?" Buffy grimaced and held the
phone away from her ear as Cordelia screeched in excitement. She was so
loud, Willow could hear her say, "Oh my god this is so great... We're
going to have so much and I'm going to find you the best dress. You won't
regret it!"
Buffy chuckled and grinned, "Thanks
Cordy. See ya in a little while? ... ... Kay, see ya!"
She looked at Willow. She joked,
"I take it she was excited about the job?"
"Oh, very." Buffy smiled.
Later at the mall with Cordy and Willow,
Buffy pulled out a light blue, ankle length dress. "What about this
one?" Buffy asked.
Cordy shook her head, "Nuh, uh. You
need a dark dress like navy or black... or like a soft red."
Cordelia pulled out an all black
dress. "Try this on." She said.
Buffy put it on. It looked perfect
on her. The dress was a little past knee length. The hem of the skirt was
diagonal from just before her knee to just below the knee of the other
leg. The sleeves stopped just at her wrists an inch from her hand.
The top of the dress left her shoulders exposed. It showed her beautiful
curves perfectly.
While Buffy was changing Cordelia found
another dress that seemed just perfect for her. "Buffy that looks
gorgeous on you, but I have a feeling this is just right."
Buffy tried it on. She left the
stall and swirled around for her friends grinning. The dress's hem ended
right at her knees. From her hips to the bottom the dress flared
outward. The top had a cowl neckline, wrapping around the back of her
neck. It left her whole upper back exposed. The dressed exposed her silky
skin in all the right places. Willow gushed, "Oh, Buffy you look
amazing!"
Cordelia grinned appreciatively,
"It's perfect. This is the dress you are getting. Now go change."
Buffy grinned and went back to
change. She came back out holding the dress to be bought and put the
other one on a rack. "How much is this?" She looked at the
price tag, "200 dollars... I don't know if I should spend that much."
"C'mon Buffy... this dress is perfect
for you. Look I'll pay for half of it if you want. Consider it like an
early birthday present."
"Oh ok. If you're paying for half of
it how could I resist." Buffy chuckled, smiling. "Let's
go."
After they paid for the dress Cordelia
grinned, "Now we need to get you shoes to go with the dress."
Willow giggled, "I knew this was
coming. Buffy are you ready?"
She smirked and laughed, "Yup, let's
go shoe shopping."
