Please reveiw
"Ah, young love." Willow sighed after I had told them what had happened minus any details on Riley. "So in five minutes we get to meet lover boy, yay!" Buffy said, she seemed . . . not herself today, maybe it's the party. "Ok we need a few ground rules for tonight, number one: anyone who tells Angel about my going or my date gets the pointy end of my stake, human or not. Number two, if William shows up, stake him, no questions asked. I think that's about it so let's go." We walked out of our dorm and outside, I had forgotten my jacket and the icy night tickled my nerves but I ignored it. We soon arrived at the frat house and entered, the party was in full swing by then so we went over by the far wall. We talked about normal girl things, crossbows, battle axes, and all the fun stuff until none other than Parker came to stand beside Buffy. "Hello ladies, my lady." He gave buffy a quick peck on the lips and I smiled and rolled my eyes playfully. "Hey Buffy, I think I'm gonna go get something to drink. I'll be right back." I informed them before walking into the kitchen and instead of getting some of the beer from the keg I merely leaned against the counter, thinking of how Lily and Dalyn were doing. I was so out of it I didn't hear anyone approach until a hand touched my shoulder and I realized Riley was standing there. "Daydreaming about me already Phoenix, like in Professor Walsh's class?" He teased and I rolled my eyes, I've been doing that a lot lately! "In your dreams Riley, for your information I was thinking about my friends." I corrected smiling all the while as his face turned into a fake pout. "Awwww I'm not your friend Phoenix, and I thought we were getting along so well." He stepped closer and I had to actually look up at him. "Well I thought we might be on the way to becoming a little bit more than friends." I whispered as he looked deep into my eyes as if searching for something, I was captured by the intensity of our gaze until a voice behind him, in the direction of the living room spoke. "Wow somebody's getting cozy in here." Our heads snapped in the direction of the voice to find Buffy was the owner and Parker had his arm around her. "Whoa, ok Phoenix, I believe you forgot to mention that lover boy is Riley." I smiled and gave her my innocent look. "Oops. We don't have to mention this to Liam right?" She rolled her eyes seeming to be picking up my habit and then smiled at us. "I won't tell him anything if we can blow this joint and go to The Bronze, everyone here is drunk, an idiot, or both." We all consented and after grabbing Willow we walked to the club where Riley and I went to dance, he led me to the dance floor by hand and a slow song came on so after he placed his hands on my lower back I circled my arms around his neck and leaned against him as the song went on, it was about a military man leaving his fiancé to go on a mission and never making it back home. Riley held me closer and closer and near the end of the song where it tells of the girl's tears we met each other's eyes and he kissed me. It was slow and innocent and I kept my eyes closed, willing it to last. I savored the feel of his warm lips pressed softly against mine and the world vanished, instead of fireworks like young girls always dream of a feeling of warmth and security flooded my body and moments later we both pulled apart as the need of air burned our lungs and I leaned against his chest once again until the song ended. As we made our way back to the booth he wrapped my hand in his and we sat down across from the others. We all made with the small talk until a shadow fell over the table and Buffy gulped as she looked over my shoulder, I turned around to see none other than my brother. "Delia! Come on, I'm taking you to the airport. You are going back to whatever country you're supposed to be in!" At his angry tone Riley stood up and faced Liam, "If she doesn't want to go then she isn't going anywhere!" I quickly placed my hand on his arm. "Riley, it's ok. Relax," I told him gently but he had already angered my brother even more. Liam grabbed the front of his shirt and almost growled at him. "She is my baby sister and no government pawn is going to tell me anything about what she can and can't do!" I stood up and grabbed both of their arms, pushing Liam off of Riley. "Liam! Stop before you hurt him! Riley was just concerned and acted the same way you would have! I am not going anywhere unless it is to talk to you." Both had calmed considerably and I smiled. "Riley this is my brother Liam but he prefers Angel, Liam this is Riley my . . ." I trailed off, not sure what he considered our relationship to be but as they shook hands Riley spoke. "I'm her boyfriend." He put his arm around me after we sat down with Liam standing at the head. "Look, 'Lia I'm sorry can we take during your patrol tomorrow?" I smiled up at him and nodded. "You can count on it." He then turned to leave but had only taken a few steps before I called out to him and he looked back in question. "I missed you Brother." He smiled genuinely at me then left.
I really enjoyed writing this chapter and i felt that while not real the Phoenix and Riley have a lot of chemistry, i personally have never been kissed so if u have tips or comments on this chapter they will be greatly appricieated and welcomed with open arms!:)
