Cordelia's New Obsession 21

Disclaimers in part 1, for those of ya'll who forget. I do not own these characters; they belong to Joss and Company. The plotline is the only thing that belongs to me, well other than the great grandmother.

Cordelia watched as Buffy lay on the bed sleep. The dark green satin of the sheets accentuated the golden tan she had all over. That was something that she was going to miss when she brought the young girl over. Part of her wanted to keep her human so she could enjoy her warmness, but the demon inside was dying to turn her. There was two weeks left before homecoming, and everything was shaping up nicely. Something had to be done about her aunt and uncle. The last thing she needed was for them to screw up her plans. 'Lindsey would be able to handle that.' She thought.

A knock at the door brought her out of her musings. She got out of the bed and pulled on her robe. Looking back she noticed that Buffy had not moved, she really does sleep like the dead.

"What is it?" She gritted out, while opening the door.

Drusilla stood back while Cordelia stepped out. "I thought I told you not to disturb me when I am busy." She was pissed.

Buffy was asleep, but she didn't need to know that. "Sorry mistress, but Lindsey's parents called and it's time for them to go home." She pouted.

"Go ahead and send Lindsey on, I will be sending Buffy in a little bit. I've tired her out more than usual." She gave the raven haired vampire a smile.

The vampiress made her way back to her room, she looked at the blonde. Buffy started to stir and she slid in the bed with her. After all she needed to be used to seeing her face when she woke up.

"Good evening sunshine. I was wondering when you were going to awaken." The brunette gave her a full smile.

Buffy stretched like a kitten waking up, giving Cordelia a full view of her naked body. Normally she would put the sheet around her, but it didn't faze her any now. The way Buffy felt was beyond anything she felt before, the things the older girl did to her. Really took a lot out of her.

"You were too far from me." She pouted.

"Well, I'm here now. So when are you and Faith going dress shopping?"

"Tomorrow, she found her perfect dress at 'Ethan's' the new boutique on Vine. I haven't found my dress yet. I want it to be perfect when I get crowned queen." She smiled.

Cordelia smiled at her in return, "I think you would look lovely in anything you wear."

Realization dawned on Buffy, "You're not going with us tomorrow. I thought you were." She frowned.

"I have some things to take care of after school tomorrow." It wasn't a complete lie, she needed to gather the things she needed to complete the ritual, before homecoming.

"Why don't I bring it by when I picked it out?" She gave her a smile.

"I would love that. To be honest, I think white would be a very beautiful color for you. Personally I like that color, it represents innocence and purity. And you my love are innocence personified."

The blonde smiled at her compliments. She never gave white a thought, she was thinking along the lines of red, or blue, or maybe even green.

"I really need to get going. I've probably scared my aunt long enough. Is Lindsey still here?" She asked while getting out of the bed.

"No, Lindsey went ahead and went home. Jenny called and wanted you both home, you were looking so peaceful. I really didn't want to wake you up."

The vampire couldn't wait until the separation was over. She could hear Buffy calling out to her at night. All she wanted to do was to return the call, but the time was fast approaching and it wouldn't be long. Buffy went around collecting her clothes and putting them on. Cordelia got up and went towards the blonde.

"Buffy there is something that I have wanted to tell you for a while now. I don't know how you will take it, but I can't deny it anymore." She said seriously.

The blonde smiled at her innocently, even though there was nothing innocent about her. She just hopes her aunt and uncle wouldn't notice.

"What is it?" She looked at her intently.

"I love you, I know it's too soon, but I can't deny it anymore. I fell in love with you the first day I met you." She told the other girl in seriousness.

"I love you too Cordelia. I try not to, but I can't stop. Every day it gets harder and harder to leave you."

Buffy buttoned her shirt up and looked back at the brunette. Before she knew what was happening, she found herself on a full on kissing attack. Buffy returned the kisses with equal fever. Hearing Buffy tell her she loved her, made her one happy vampire. Another knock at the door broke them apart.

"It better be an emergency!" She hollered out.

"Buffy needs to go home." Drusilla's voice sounded behind the shut door.

"I really need to go. I will see you tomorrow at school." With that she disappeared leaving a satisfied vampire behind.

Buffy popped into the dining room surprising the occupants. Giles didn't look too happy with her.

"Buffy, when we say come home, we mean at that moment. Not dawdle with your friends and then come home." He told her.

"Sorry, Cordelia and I lost track of time. Jeez, it isn't like I'm an hour late just twenty minutes."

The blonde sat down at the table and shared a smile with her cousin. He wasn't stupid; he knew what was going on, and why she was late. She fixed her plate and began to eat.

"You are spending entirely too much time with her. I'm surprised to see that you haven't forgotten about your duty." He fussed at her.

Jenny put a hand on his arm, trying to calm him down. "Rupert, we already had this discussion. I explained that to you. There is no need to scold the girl, she is just a teenager. Sometimes you forget that she needs to be a teenager also."

Giles softened his expression and looked at the girl. It was hard for him to see her as a teenage girl. The way that he was raised, he just wanted her to live a long time like his slayer had. That's why he was so tough on her, because she is the key to everything.

"Quite sorry Buffy, I tend to forget about the teenager aspect. Do forgive me." He apologized.

"Don't worry Giles it's okay." She looked over at Lindsey and saw his steak sitting on his plate, it was rare.

"Lindsey, you usually don't eat a rare steak. What's up with that?" The blonde asked.

"Nothing, it has a lot more nutrients than cooked steak. Would you like a taste?" He tempted her.

Drusilla told him all about what the elder vampire was doing. She weaned her off of her blood, but was giving her other blood in supplication. After all, she wanted Buffy to enjoy it as much as she did.

She looked at her aunt and uncle they looked at her intently. She looked back at Lindsey who gave her a wink. Buffy didn't need to know that he knew. Her body was craving it and she didn't know why. Without hesitation she reached on Lindsey's plate and cut her a piece. Putting it in her mouth she let out a moan of satisfaction.

"You're right Lindsey; it does taste better this way." She gave him a smile.

Lindsey smiled back at the young blonde. She smiled back at him, and then to their parents. Buffy took another bite of his steak, and he just handed over to her. After all he really didn't want it. He just ate it for show, so his parents wouldn't be alarmed.

"Lindsey how are your classes this semester?" Giles asked his son.

"They are the same as always, but this time I'm taking Mythology. It's rather fascinating." He indulged his father.

Jenny watched Buffy polish off the steak and the asparagus. One thing that didn't surprise her was Buffy's appetite. She could eat from sun up to sun down, but never figured out where it went.

"Did you get a chance to talk to Drusilla about her helping you?" Jenny asked.

"No, not yet, she was a little tied up when I went over there today." It wasn't a complete lie, but she really didn't go over there to see her.

"What did Buffy need help with?" Lindsey chimed in.

"Jax is trying to kill her, but it's going to take a lot more than a simple vanquishing. So Buffy suggested that Dru drained him and then she sent him to hell." Jenny smiled brightly at her niece.

Giles was impressed that Buffy would come up with such a plan. Don't get him wrong, he knew that she was quite bright. But he would have never thought of that.

"Drusilla would be glad to help. She is awfully fond of you Buffy." Lindsey gave her a smile.

"I will talk to her tomorrow, when I show Cordelia my dress. She won't be going with me and Faith tomorrow." The wicca responded.

The rest of dinner was made with small talk. They talked about Buffy running for home coming queen, Lindsey and school work. Nothing more was mentioned about vanquishing, or demons.

"Buffy, Lindsey, you both have kitchen duty. Your mother and I are going to retire for the night." Giles told the two children.

Lindsey shared a look with his blonde counter part. They both knew what it meant when 'retiring for the night' was used. It made them let out a soft eww at the thought of them getting their freak on.

"We better get started darling. These dishes aren't going to clean themselves."

They took the dinner dishes into the kitchen. Lindsey rinsed while, Buffy put them in the dishwasher.

"You and Cordelia were making a lot of noise this afternoon. Is there something I should know about?" He teased.

Buffy let out a small laugh, "We were just sparring that's all, she was showing me some new fighting techniques." She never lied to Lindsey before, and it freaked her out a little. A part of her really didn't care.

Lindsey knew she was lying; Drusilla kept him well informed about Cordelia and her plans for Buffy. At first it made him mad, but then he thought about it, Buffy would be with him for an eternity. Loosing Buffy had been one of his greatest fears, and it wasn't about to happen prematurely.

"Oh sure fighting, then I must have been hearing things, 'Oh my god Cordelia!'" He said in a high pitched voice.

She threw a dishtowel at him and he threw the sponge. "Shut your mouth right now. You got the wrong idea. She was giving me a post training massage." She stuck out her chin.

Lindsey smirked at her, "Post training massage huh? If that was the case then how come I heard Cordelia say, 'that's it Buffy touch me there.' If I'm not mistaken I heard the sound of a chains rattling." He teased some more.

Buffy was mortified; no one was supposed to know about that. She was supposed to be all purity and innocence.

"Don't say anything to anyone please. They can't know it will kill them, that their 'Golden Girl' is treading on the dark side of her urges. Promise you won't say anything." She pleaded with him.

He gave her a smile; he could never betray her trust. "Of course angel, you're not the only one who likes to tread and the dark side."

Lindsey walked out of the kitchen, leaving a very confused Buffy behind. She followed him upstairs, while trying to ignore the sounds of her aunt and uncle. Without knocking she walked into his room. He no longer stayed at the dorm, with this threat against his cousin he wanted to be close by.

"You mean to tell me that, you and Drusilla make with the kinky sex? There is no way I believe that one." She smirked at him.

"Oh believe it baby. I'm sure we've kept Cordelia up plenty of nights with our shenanigans."

Buffy covered her ears; she really didn't want to hear about his sexploitations. Hell she didn't like it when her parents had sex.

Lindsey was dying of laughter, as much as Cordelia and her had messed around. Buffy still acted like a blushing child.

"So have you popped your cherry yet?" He asked in seriousness.

"Oh my god Lindsey, crude much?" She cried out in horror.

"Come on princess, you mean to tell me that she hasn't? That's hard to believe." He smirked at her.

She threw a pillow at him which he easily deflected. They launched into a full on pillow fight. Oblivious to the adults across the hall, it was times like this they treasured.

"For your information she wants to wait. Angel said the same thing, but he was sticking his dick in someone else." Her smile faded.

Lindsey already knew the answer to that question, it was told to him a while back. He thought it was rather poetic.

"She has it bad for you so you have nothing to worry about. Besides pick out a sexy number, it will drive her wild." He threw a pillow at her.

Another pillow fight broke out in his room. This time Buffy was winning, she pinned him down on the bed. "You give." She grinned at him.

"I give." He gritted out. Without a second thought, he kissed her on the lips.

Buffy jumped back as if she was scolded. "Lindsey, what the hell was that?" She asked in shock.

"I'm sorry Buffy. I don't know what came over me, could you forgive me." He asked her.

Buffy couldn't stay mad at him forever, "All is forgiven. Just don't let anything like that happen again." She smiled at him.

"I promise, princess. Nothing more." He patted the bed and she climbed next to him and lay down. Lindsey started playing with her hair, and humming to her, something he's done since she was younger.

Listening to her cousin's voice lulled Buffy to sleep. He heard her breath even out and he kissed her on the forehead. "I love you Buffy." He said softly, and drifted off to sleep.

Cordelia's House

Drusilla was sitting on her sire's bed while she picked out her clothes for tomorrow.

"You aren't going to go dress shopping with the pixie and her friend?" The vampire asked.

Cordelia stepped out of the closet holding a dress. "No, I told you, I have to get the things together for the binding ritual. I want to perform it with her the same night I turn her. That way she will be bound to me and no one else." She stepped back into the closet.

"So are you going to show her the dress you picked out for her.?"

The vampire stepped out of the closet, "Oh, I put it on the rack at Ethan's; it's amazing how you can tempt a guy. Besides when she sees it, she'll recognize it from her dreams."

"What else do you need to do? I mean you are already training her, to be not only your dark queen, but your consort. Not only that, you have the girl eating human food, and drinking blood. There is nothing more for you to do." The raven haired vampire surmised.

"There is nothing else more to do. The night of the coronation will go as planned, our Buffy wins homecoming queen, and you and Lindsey will have a new member to your family. I can't tell you the rest, you'll find out when the time is right."

Cordelia gave the other vampire a wicked grin. She couldn't wait to see Buffy's face when she finds out.
