Buffy sat on her bed and sighed, she was explaining to Cordelia everything that happened last night. "So that's it?" Cordelia asked. Buffy nodded. "Yeah. That's it. I killed someone and made a complete fool of myself…I don't know what's worse. " Cordelia got up. "Yeah. If you would of saved my life I would of definitely put out." Buffy laughed and stood up with her. "Maybe…he's gay." Cordelia quipped. Buffy shook her head. "No. That's a negative." Buffy replied. She couldn't get the kiss out of her mind for the seconds he held her in his arms she felt alive for the very first time. Buffy was in another world when the door knocked, she quickly looked over and saw it was Angel walking in. Cordelia smiled. "Okay. I'm gone." Cordelia turned to Buffy before walking out the door. "See later Buff; and have fun tonight."
Buffy went over and closed the door then turned to Angel. "Is there something I can help you with?" Buffy asked crossing her arms. Angel chuckled and smiled. "Yeah. Where do you think you're going tonight?" Buffy walked past him. "Is that any of your business?"
Angel gently grabbed Buffy's arm and gently turned her around. "I believe it is my business." Buffy quickly withdrew her arm from his grasp. "Fine. Riley and I are going out tonight for our anniversary. I'll eat, get drunk, go back to his place and have hours upon hours of pleasurable sex." Angel chuckled. "What's so funny?" Buffy asked. "I don't see Riley lasting over an hour." Buffy rolled her eyes. "Yeah. If anyone needs to be shot. I'll give you a call." Angel walked toward Buffy. "So.. What was last night about?" Buffy turned to Angel. "Last night was a mistake. I was stupid trust me it won't happen again." Angel nodded. Not that he would mind, last night feeling her, feeling her lips upon his was incredible. He didn't want her going out with Riley. He knew Riley never treated her particularly well. "You know Buffy. I can't have feelings for you. It would never work. Like I said last night. I can protect you, but not love you." Buffy held up her hand for him to stop. "Okay. That's great…Now get out." Angel turned and walked out the door, shutting it quickly behind him.
Angel was waiting downstairs with Gunn discussing the case and where it was going. They were so close to ending it. Angel stopped talking when there was a knock at the door. He knew who it was. Angel opened the door and saw a smirk on his face. Angel stepped aside and Riley walked in. "She's not ready." Angel said as he crossed his arms and looked at Riley. "She always has to look her best." Riley said in return.
Angel heard Buffy walking down the stairs he turned and saw her. She was dressed in a way he never saw her. Buffy was wearing a tight black micro mini skirt and a dangerously low red top. Her long curly golden locks flowing past her shoulders. Buffy stole a glance at Angel before going into Riley's arms." You look…" Buffy smiled. "Great. Now lets go." Buffy said as she linked her arm into his. They were going at the door when Angel stood in their way. Buffy rolled her eyes. "Where you going?" Buffy smiled. "I think you know." Riley shifted. "I won't let anything happen to her.." Buffy looked seductively at Angel. "Yeah. No shootings involved tonight."
Angel put his hands in his pockets and moved out of the way. Buffy and Riley quickly walked out the door. Angel closed the door. Charles whistled. "Man. Did you piss he off or something?" Angel nodded. Angel didn't know what to do, he wanted this case done, he wanted to forget about all this; but the problem with that was…he couldn't forget Buffy.
Buffy and Riley walked through his door and into his bedroom. Buffy looked around, feeling all of a sudden very nervous. Buffy turned and smiled. "Thank-you for dinner. It was wonderful." Riley stepped closer. "Think nothing of it." Riley grabbed Buffy by the waist and pulled her towards him and kissed her. It was a hard kiss, there was nothing behind it, nothing but force. Buffy pulled away truing to grasp her breath. "Okay. Whoa." Buffy said. "I believe I've been patient long enough." Riley said. "Excuse me?" Buffy asked. "You know you want this" said as he grabbed both of her hands with one of his, while he ripped off her shirt with the other.
"No" Buffy cried out "Stop it""Just shut up" Riley said as he smacked her across the face. Buffy fell backwards onto the bed. Riley quickly got on top of her. "Get off me" Buffy cried as she pushed him off of her Buffy sat up to run away but Riley quickly recovered and slammed her back on the bed. Buffy screamed.
"You and I both know that no one is going to hear you and your black night is not coming for you." Riley said as he lifted her skirt so it was around her waist. He then grabbed her throat hard. Buffy gasped. "You might as well pretend to enjoy it, cause it's going to happen anyways" Buffy didn't have the strength to say anything back. She now had tears streaming down her face.
Buffy had tears going down her face, she didn't have the strength to fight him. Buffy slowly moved her arms to her side to grip the sides of her panties, the last thing between her and him. Buffy's fingers started to hurt from holding her panties so tightly. Riley then ripped them off. "No need for that love." Buffy screamed and arched her back as Riley slammed into her. The pain was unbearable. It was like she was in a nightmare. She was in too much pain to do anything. All she could think about was how much it was hurting and how much she wanted it all to end.
Finally it was over and Riley got off of her. Riley then started to put his clothes back on. Buffy was sitting up on the side of the bed wrapped in the sheet, blood was on the sheet as she sat there shivering. Buffy couldn't form a thought as Riley walked out the door, leaving Buffy alone.
