Chapter 3 The Hunt. Xander and Buffy, will they get together? Sorry for delay. It's longer.
The sun rose and Xander rolls over on his bed. He looks at his clock and it says ten o'clock. It's a Saturday so he didn't have to go to work.
"Wow," says Xander rolling back on his back. "I had the most incredible dream."
"What Xander?" ask Buffy who rolls over to him and puts her arms around him.
"Buffy. Buffy!" shouts Xander. Buffy raises her head and looks at a shock Xander. "We um and you're..." Xander the becomes speechless. The dream that he's had for all his time he's known Buffy has come true.
"Xander calm down," says Buffy. She touches his bare shoulder and chest. Xander looks at her hand.
"I'm not dreaming am I?" ask Xander.
"Nope," says Buffy. "Everything that happen last night was real."
"Whoa," says Xander. "Are you sure you aren't dreaming?" Buffy laughs.
"How would you know what a dream of?"
"I had throw it out there."
"Really." Xander gives her one of his grins. "Well, I got just one word to say." Buffy goes closer to Xander and is two inches away from his lips.
"What's that?"
"Last night was just a one night stand." Xander's eyes grow big.
"What!" Buffy gets off Xander and grabs all of the comforter to cover herself as she gets out of the bed. She walks over to the door. Xander pulls the thin blanket to cover himself. Buffy turns around and giggles to herself.
"Just kidding." She turns around with a big smile.
"You little..." Xander jumps out of the bed and starts to chase Buffy around the room. He catches up to her and they both fall on the bed. They laugh and look at each other out breath.
"Okay, I was jealous," says Buffy.
"Thank you," says Xander with a smile.
They both get up and put some clothes on. Xander heads into the kitchen and begins to cook some breakfast. Buffy comes into the kitchen and gives Xander a pop kiss on his lips.
"Waffles," says Xander.
"Yum," replies Buffy taking orange juice out of the frig. She takes two cups out of the cupboards then turns to Xander. "I didn't plan this." Xander turns to Buffy as he turns on the waffle iron.
"I didn't either, but what are you getting at Buffy?" Concern with what Buffy will say Xander looks at her straight in the eyes holding his breath.
"I just want say that what happen last night was real," says Buffy walking over to Xander and touching his hand. "I'm not going to forget it."
"Really," says Xander. Buffy nods her head and pop kisses him on the lips. Xander reveals one of his grins. "I like today. Today's a good day." He pours the batter onto the waffle iron as Buffy continues to set the table.
Later on that day they head back to the guy they met the other night. Xander isn't happy that Buffy wanted to see him but it's about business.
Buffy knocks at his door but no one answers. Xander looks into the hotel window. The place is a complete mess and he sees no one.
"You think he's out," says Xander.
"No, the showers running," says Buffy.
"Buffy super hearing," says Xander. Buffy grabs the knob and the door opens. She sees blood on the ground. "Weaponless here. Not a good thing." Buffy walks over to the bathroom and pushes the door open. She sees no one but then from behind the door comes a hand that grabs Buffy and pushes her against the wall.
"Buffy!" Xander calls to her but Xander takes a look at the guy who has long blonde hair.
"Can a man have his privacy in his own bathroom?" says Derek. Buffy grabs Derek's hand and pushes him, not too hard away from her.
"Sorry I thought you were dead," says Buffy. She looks at the blood on the ground.
"Oh that," says Derek. "I got an invitation."
"A what now?" ask Xander.
"They sent a vampire to my hotel to kill me while I was sleeping," says Derek. "Good thing I don't sleep alone." Derek pulls out his stake on his bed.
"Must of been a good night," says Xander. "Mine was great." Buffy smacks him in the arm.
"Okay, what I wanna know is about this colony," says Buffy. "Where's is it located?"
"If I knew don't you think I would been there already," says Derek. "She's pretty smart. She never hits the same place twice."
"She?"
"Yeah, the leader of the colony."
"What about her?"
"She likes to party. That's how I met her."
"Did you know her before..."
"No nothing like that. That's when I tracked her down."
"Are you part werewolf. I mean how are you able to..."
"It's sort of calling."
"I know those."
"Do you mind." Derek grabs some clothes from a chair.
"Oh sorry." Buffy pulls Xander out of the room. "We'll wait outside." As Buffy closes the door she turns Xander.
"He's got it bad for you Buff," says Xander.
"Yeah, I kind of noticed with the leg complement," Buffy says.
"Leg complement?" ask Xander.
"Never mind," says Buffy.
"So what is you want to know?" ask Derek coming out of his hotel room. Buffy turns around.
"Well, how about how where you found about this colony?" ask Buffy.
"I was in Mexico following another lead of a strong vampire," says Derek. "She was pretty strong and fast too. A team and I hunted them down and killed her and her colony but some escaped."
"So, they decided to go up north," says Buffy.
"Trying to get away from me," says Derek. "That didn't work. I found them."
"Well, they gotta be hiding out in some warehouse or underground," says Buffy. "We've got the whole day. Want to join us?"
"Sure, but first how about a little breakfast?" ask Derek directly to Buffy.
"We've already had breakfast," replies Buffy looking at Xander.
"Oh," says Derek a little disappointed as he looks at Xander then back to Buffy. "Well, fast food it is." Derek walks over to his car passing Buffy.
"Let's go," says Buffy to Xander.
After Derek ate they headed to some old abandoned warehouses. Searching each one of the warehouses they ended up empty handed.
"Are you sure there aren't any other warehouses around?" ask Buffy to Xander.
"None that I know of," says Xander as they exit the last warehouse.
"I'm thinking this vampire her places with more style," says Derek.
"Like a swanky hotel," says Buffy as she turns to Xander. "Maybe she's meet Glory."
"Who?"
"Never mind. Let's get going."
"I think I know a couple of hotels that she most likely be staying at." says Xander.
They drive back into the city and find a very expensive hotel. The three get out and look at the style of the hotel then at themselves.
"I don't think that we're dressed well enough for this hotel," says Xander pulling at his black shirt. Buffy turns to Xander.
"You look fine," says Buffy touching his chest lightly. "But you." Buffy looks at Derek.
"What's wrong with my attire?" ask Derek.
"Hat goes," says Buffy. Derek takes off his hat and throws into Xander's car.
As they enter the hotel they could smell a dozen scents all from very expensive perfumes and colognes that people wear. The three are heading to the front desk when a cell phone rings. Derek and Buffy look at Xander as he grabs his phone from his pocket.
"Hello," says Xander.
"Xander it's Josh," says his friend in low tone. "I need your help here man. It's really important."
Buffy looks at Xander then at the front desk. She walks over to the front desk and Derek follows her.
"Hi, um we're…"
"Do have a room here?" ask the man at the front desk.
"Um no."
"Would you like a room?" Buffy looks at Derek then she pulls out a wallet from her pocket.
"Yeah, the honey moon sweet." Buffy grabs Derek's arm and smiles. Derek goes along with and puts his arm around her waist. Buffy hands the man a credit card to the man.
The man turns away from them to charge the card.
"What are you doing?" ask Derek.
"We need to find out if she's staying here."
"Thank you for making your choice to come to with us Mr. and Mrs. Harris." Derek's eyes widen and he looks at Buffy. Buffy takes the card and the two turn around.
"I'm doing something very important Josh," says Xander to his friend on the phone. "Can't it wait."
"Come on," says Josh. "I'll owe big."
"Alright, where are you?" Xander notes down an address and turns back to Derek and Buffy as he turns off his phone. "I've gotta go. Josh is some kind of trouble."
"When is he not?" says Buffy rolling her eyes. Xander gives her a smile.
"Right, why don't you guys try to figure out…"
"We've already did." Buffy pulls out Xander's wallet with his credit card and a recipe.
"What did you do?" Xander looks at the recipe and glares at Buffy. "Buffy. You are so paying me back for this."
"Don't worry I will." Buffy touches his hand and gives him a sweet innocent smile.
"I'll see you guys later," says Xander as he begins to go. He then stops and turns around walking over to Derek. "Treat her right." Xander walks out of the hotel.
Buffy and Derek walk over to the elevator. Derek presses the 21st floor button.
"So you and Xander are together?" ask Derek.
"Yes, it's been long time waiting," says Buffy.
They enter their honey moon sweet and are taken by the beautiful room. Buffy falls onto one of the sofa's. Derek walks over to the balcony and opens the sliding door.
"What are you doing?" ask Buffy. Derek looks to the balcony to his left then to his right. He notices that one of the curtains are black and the other is green. Buffy walks over to him.
"That's they're room," says Derek.
"How can you tell?"
"The curtains. The room on the left are green, ours are green and the room on the left has black curtains."
"Good deductions." Derek nods his head and begins to mount on the balcony. He jump to the next balcony.
"Can you make it?"
"Of course." Buffy jumps and puts a little to much push into it. She ends up falling on top of Derek.
