Review: oh go on, I know you want to!
Buffy checked herself over in the mirror once more. V-neck shirt. Check. Black underwear. Check. Matching shoes. Check. Coat. Check. New pants. A big check off the list.
She couldn't help but smile when she saw him drive by. He wished he stopped by to say hello but the she figured he didn't see her. He had a nice car. That goes with his nice personality. That goes with his nice…
"Okay getting sidetracked here" Buffy said out loud "It's just a date, not a mating ritual. Of course that is like a mating ritual. I think I'm hanging around Willow too long"
Checking herself over once more she heads out and begins to walk to the coffee shop. As she neared the coffee shop she couldn't help but think of her up coming date.
Will he like me?
Of course he likes me, he saved me for pites sake.
But is he doing this for a pity date? Cause he felt sorry that I almost die?
No, he flirted with me over coffee.
Coffee is simple, yet satisfyingly helpful to start people off.
She looked over to Angel who looked a bit nervous but gorgeous all the same and all she could do was smile. He was dressed in all black except for his red silk shirt, she felt her feline instincts purred at the surface when she saw it. The way it clung to his chest it made her wanna salute Faith's Five by Five notion.
"Mmm" Buffy purred delightfully when she saw his muscular chest when she checked both ways as she crossed the road.
She sauntered towards him in a perfect feline grace she could muster, quietly as she approached her unsuspecting prey from the side. Being able to watch him without knowing it gave her a rush she couldn't understand but she knew she wanted him.
"Hey Angel" Buffy said, he jerked around and smiled when he saw her, she almost melted when she saw that smile but remain composed "Ready for our date?"
That was all Angelus needed for him to get up and reveal his white pinkish lily for her. She gently grasped it when he gave it to here and breathed in the sweet scent.
"How did you know I like lilies?" Buffy asked as looked lovingly at it.
The first flower Buffy saw after she escaped the Iniative was a field of lilies, to her they represented hope, a future and above all freedom. They were beautiful and her favourite of all flowers.
"A feeling" Angelus said with a shrug.
"You rely on this feeling a lot?" Buffy asked as she brushed the lily against her skin.
"Sometimes" Angelus said as he offered his arm for her to take "Movies or Coffee first?"
"Movies, coffee later" Buffy chirped as she linked her arm around his when they began to walk to the cinema.
"I see your not wearing any heels tonight" Angelus pointed out when he notice she was wearing boots.
"I didn't want to repeat the performance" Buffy said "I hate bad de ja vu"
"Me too" Angelus said "At least you learnt your lesson"
"A lesson that could have killed me" Buffy said "Not that I'm not grateful, but why did you save me?"
"It's my job to protect people" Angelus said.
"What are you? A cop?" Buffy said half jokingly.
"Detective" Angelus said.
Buffy looked stunned, the guy she was really liked and saved her was a detective, she was a thief and she was dating a cop! Big problem considering that she was a slayer, the most wanted thieves in modern times.Well Willow has Fred for information, why can't I have him for information too? Buffy quickly thought.
You're going to be playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse, do you really think you can handle it? Some part of her told her Could you sneak around him? A detective? And you a thief? Get the goodies and him not being the wiser? Could you?
Buffy smiled "Really?"
"Yep" Angelus said "Are you alright? You look kinda pale"
"I'm fine" Buffy grinned "Just don't go using those handcuffs on me" then winked, she could help but get an imagery of him handcuffed to a bed while she licked his bare chest.
"Don't worry, I only use them professionally" Angelus said, trying not to smirk.
That led to more imagery of handcuffs, bed and Angelus. Down girl she thought while she couldn't help but purr in her little daydream.
"You know that's kinda cute" Angelus said.
"What is?" Buffy said, stopping herself from purring instantly.
"You, err, purr" Angelus said.
"Oh" Buffy said, she didn't realise she was purring till it was too late, it was a natural thing for her since she had feline genes in her.
"No no it's very cute" Angelus reassured her "and very odd too"
"I picked it up when I was little" Buffy quickly explained "I copied the cat and developed this habit when I'm happy" she then cringed at how it sounded.
"So you purred because you were happy about handcuffs?" Angelus said, looking at her oddly.
"Yeah" Buffy cringed.
"Remind me to bring them out later on" Angelus said flirtiestly.
"Why Angel, I think your trying to seduce me" Buffy said flirted back.
"Could be" Angelus winked "So what movie do you want to see?" as they approached the cinema.
"You sure you want me to pick?" Buffy asked "You're the one that's taking me out"
"I don't mind" Angelus said.
"I don't mind as long as it doesn't involve genetic mutants, I'm good" Buffy said "But mind if we see 'Full of Grace'?"
"Sure" Angelus said, he didn't mind, as long as he spent time with her he didn't care what movie it was.
"Great" Buffy said.
Could you sneak around him? A detective? And you a thief? Get the goodies and him not being the wiser? Could you?
After they had grabbed their popcorn they walked to the seats but as Buffy followed Angelus to their seat number she felt her ass being grabbed by a pair of jocks. Relying on instinct she turned around and grabbed the jocks hand before he retracted it.
"How was it baby?" Buffy said then began to put pressure on her grip "was it nice and hard" she emphasised the word with a near bone shattering grip.
The jock groan in pain, he didn't want to scream out in-case his friend thought he was a woss. That wasn't the case though, his friend saw a golden glow flash across her angry eyes. They both knew she wasn't a woman to mess around with.
"Err Buffy?" She turned around to see Angelus a little concerned "I think helearnt his lesson"
"Right" Buffy sheepishly let go of the boy's hand "No touching or you'll won't have your hand back"
"You alright?" Angelus asked when they found their seats.
"Yeah" Buffy said quietly.
"Did you have a hard life?" Angelus asked "I mean living with your real parents"
"Yeah it was" Buffy asked "Some point of my life I had to live on the streets, you had to be tough. Guess that will never leave me"
"You can't forget who you were" Angelus said "No matter how hard you try"
"If you had a life like mine you'd wish you'd forget" Buffy said.
"This is the whole point of a date, to get to know each other and have fun" Angelus pointed out "To see what other life is like and so on"
"You got me there but I'd like to keep myself a secret" Buffy said as the lights in the cinema began to dim.
"I'll keep yours if you keep mine" Angelus whispered as the adverts came on, casually placing an arm on the top her seat.
"When I'm ready" Buffy whispered as she rest her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
She couldn't help herself, he felt so good and that silk shirt wasn't helping the situation. More to the point her feline genes wasn't helping, but mmm, silk on a guy who had that chest? A kitty cat girl can certainly get used to that.
This took Angelus by surprise that was really comfortable with him already, usually it took longer for people to be relaxed with the person they were dating. She was different to most young women he admitted that but he never realised how different she was compared to other young women. As the movie began he smiled she began nuzzle her head against his chest, purring in content. Testing the boundaries a bit he pulled his arm off her chair and wrapped it around her shoulders when he noticed she was shivering. She purred a little louder at that making his smile a little wider, softly chuckling. Weirdness did have its cuteness.
Placing one hand on his lap she began to draw invisible circles absently with her finger and grinned as her feathery touches brought his heat beating faster. She loved having the ability to get him worked up seeing as she never really had any luck in that department, only Faith did. It annoyed her that Faith was comfortable in her own skin, while she was still finding herself. But the weird thing about being near Angelus was that…she couldn't explain it, just that he felt right. Really right to be wrapped in his warmth.
They weren't paying much attention to the movie as the very slowly let their hands wander testing each other's boundaries while minding their manners, they were still strangers, why go fast? Angelus's hand moved slowly over her womanly curves, exploring harmlessly as she stroked his abdomen through his silk shirt. He took note that she really liked silk as her nails scratched lightly against it, very much like a cat would.
Cat? Where did that come from? Angelus thought but for some reason it suited her just fine, he mentally shrugged Well if the name fits…
Angelus thought but for some reason it suited her just fine, he mentally shruggedThey were both in a blissful state of exploration until they realised the movie had ended and the credits were rolling. Groaning Buffy got up first and stretched out her aching muscles as she closed her eyes in enjoyment, it felt nice to relax in his arms but not if she doesn't stretch from time to time. She feel Angelus's eyes on her the whole before she opened hers and grin.
"That was nice" Buffy said as she grabbed Angelus's hand and pulled him to his feet.
"What part did you like?" Angelus asked as they head for the exit.
"Oh the part when he came back, I didn't like it when she had to sacrifice him to save the world" Buffy said "That was very sad"
"Yeah, not something I would do" Angelus said.
"So you'd save your love even if it meant your going to go to hell?" Buffy asked.
"As long as I'm with her the whole time I'm down there, there wouldn't be a better place" Angelus said.
"That is so sweet" Buffy said then thought about it for a second "And stupid"
"Love makes you do the wacky" Angelus said with a shrug.
"So tell me Angel, who was your first love?" Buffy said with a hint of mischief "Since you been through the wacky and all"
"I've never been in love" Angelus said.
"Really but you said love makes you do the wacky" Buffy said, taken a back.
"When I a teenager I thought I was in love with this girl" Angelus said "When I look back at it I realise it was just lust, nothing more. The 'wacky' I'm basing it on with my friend and his wife. They're completely different and not really meant to be together, but there is something about them that makes them click"
"Opposites attract" Buffy said, remembering what her adoptive father once said to her.
"Exactly" Angelus said "No matter how many times they fight they still stick together, still defend each other and most importantly they still love each other. There is a warning to this as well, makes me think twice before I upset one of them"
"What happened?" Buffy said, very intrigued by this.
"That is between me, myself and I" Angelus said simply.
Buffy just silently laughed having a feeling what must have happened.
"So coffee?" Angelus asked.
"Yep, we can get free coffee from my sisters club" Buffy said.
Could you sneak around him? A detective? And you a thief? Get the goodies and him not being the wiser? Could you?
"Wooah B where'd you get sugardaddy here?" Faith said as soon as she spots her sibling and her date at the door of the Bronze "I know you're on a date but damn. He's one fine looking guy"
"Thanks" Angelus managed to say at her bluntness.
"No problem hun" Faith said to Angelus before she turned to Buffy "So you wanna come in or not?"
"We're coming in" Buffy said.
There was a moan from the line of people to door "Hey she's V.I.P and she happens to be the manager's sister as well as mine. So unless you happen to be one of us your gonna have to wait" Faith said them before she looked back at her sister "Go straight in B, Kendra is gonna sing"
"Why?" Buffy asked.
"I made a bet with her and she lost" Faith said.
Buffy grabbed Angelus hand before she entered the club. She spotted Kendra on the stage and wave to her when she saw her there with Angelus behind. Kendra didn't look like a happy bunny, she may have a good voice but performing wasn't really her thing. She worked behind the scenes not in front of them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our favourite club's manager is gonna sing for us" the lead singer said to the crowd "With the time she had to learn the words you would be amazed on what she can do. So give a warm welcome to Kendra"
The drummer set the beat before the band began to play, Kendra held the microphone as she let the rhythm take control of her movements before she opened up at her cue and sang:
"I like the sound of your belt dropping
Your door locking, you jangle your keys, yeah
I like the sound of your heart stopping"
"C'mon lets dance" Buffy said as she pulled Angelus to the dance floor, liking the sound of the music and her sibling's voice.
"Of lips locking, the grazing of knees, yeah
I like the sound of skin touching
Hands fumbling, you do as you please
I like the sound of back on the wall, yeah"
Buffy smiled while she was dancing Angelus keeping eye contact with him, not paying attention to the world around just the music and him.
"And I love it when you call my name
I love it when you call my name
Both ends of the candle burnt by the flame
Yeah I love it when you call my name, n-n-name"
Faith popped her head in the club, to check how many people there was and smiled when she spotted Buffy and Angelus dancing together. It was a long time for Buffy to have a relationship with anyone, and Faith felt a warm puddle of delight that her sister had finally found someone. She finally pulled herself out again when she saw Kendra singing with a little dancing on the side and returned to the job with a big grin on her face. Kendra may hate performing but she was damn good at it.
"I like the sound of your shirt ripping
My will slipping under the table
I like the sound of your hand slapping
Your whip cracking, this could be painful
I may like the rain, I may like the symphony
I may like the feel of your frame on my frame"
Buffy held Angelus's shoulders as he held her hips as they swayed to the energecticbeat.
"But I love it when you call my name
I love it when you call my name
Both ends of the candle burnt by the flame
Yeah I love it when you call my name, n-n-name"
She let go of him and turned around to grind her hips and shoulders into him while he held her close. He smiled when he felt her purring into his body, it stirred his thoughts of her to a new level as the music slowed and quietened.
"I may like the rain, I may like the symphony
I may like the feel of your frame on my frame
I may like your touch, I may like you next to me
I may like the sound of your name on my lips
I may like your touch, I may like your remedy
I may like the feel of your hands on my hips
I may like your talk, like your breathing heavily
I like a lot ob things baby, you know me"
When the music shot back up again she turned around to face him again as she let lose her dance moves on him and he complied willingly. The both seem to fit together physically and spiritually as they danced, continuously swapping roles of dominant and submissive dancer as the beat grew stronger.
"But I love it when you call my name
I love it when you call my name
Both ends of the candle burnt by the flame
Yeah I love it when you call my name, n-n-name"
Buffy looked up at Angelus and realise how close they were when the song ended. She knew she had to clap for her sister but those brown eyes just wouldn't let her. Slowly but surely he leaned down to close the gap, creating the excitement within her heart as their lips were about to meet.
"Buffy!" Willow chirped as she interrupted the moment.
"Will!" Buffy said nearly growling, turning both their attention to the redhead, annoyed that she interrupted them.
"Oh sorry did I do a bad thing?" Willow asked sheepishly as a new song came up.
"No" Buffy said, lying through her teeth "Willow this is Liam Angelus, Liam this is Willow my little sister" he offered Willow a hand to shake which she grasped firmly.
"Don't I know you somewhere?" Willow asked after she let go of his hand.
"Probably not" Angelus said.
"Will, don't you have that thing to do?" Buffy said, as much as she adored Willow she really wanted Angelus to herself.
"Oh that thing right, cause it's the thing I need to do" Willow said, catching the hint "Have fun" then exited.
"Is she always like that?" Angelus asked curiously as Willow moved quickly to the staff room, opened the door and disappeared.
"Nah, sometimes she magically pops up" Buffy said then began to lead them to a table.
"Is all your family a bit on the crazy side?" Angelus asked as he took a seat from the free table Buffy directed them to.
"Not really, only when we go through a phase" Buffy said "Then we need to be locked up"
During the time Buffy and Faith were in heat and teens they were locked up in a cage. But since Kendra had more control as her sexuality was more human base compare to Faiths and Buffy which were animal base, she could watch them in-case it got too much for one of them or zap both of them with her electric abilities.
"Well I guess I will have to watch out for this phase then huh?" Angelus typically said for someone who didn't know her background.
"Definitely" Buffy said "So coffee?"
They talked about the movies, finding out they preferred the old ones instead of the new. They talked about art, it surprised Angelus that she knew a lot about art and was planning to open her own gallery. Subject after subject, coffee after coffee the bond between them grew till the club had to lock up for the night.
"Do you want me to walk you home or-?" Angelus said.
"Nah, I live with sisters so I'll be okay" Buffy said.
"I had a great time" Angelus said "I'd like to continue this Buffy"
"Me too" Buffy said happily "Tomorrow night?"
"I've got work tomorrow, but the night after that I'm free" Angelus said "Do you want to meet up here?"
Could you sneak around him? A detective? And you a thief? Get the goodies and him not being the wiser? Could you?
"Sure"
TBC…
REVIEW!
Sarah McLachlan wrote 'Full of Grace' that was played in Becoming2 one of the saddest moments for Bangel and so I wanted to make it a happy moment with the movie. So here's a hint for you Bangels fans, I will put stuff down to do with our favourite couple that occurred in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, even the little things. Although I think you already guessed that by now.
