…………
Chapter 34: The wedding
Cordelia's apartmentThe sun was shinning through the windows of Cordelia's apartment and as the brightened the room you can start to see a numerous amount of boreds. And these weren't just any boreds, they showed where people where going to be sitting, the lay out of the hotel that the reception was being held, and so on. These were Cordelia's lay out for her and Buffy's wedding day.
Cordelia was still fast asleep in her bed when the front door of her apartment opened slowly and in walked Willow and Tara, Willow closed the door behind her quietly after Tara was already in the apartment. Willow made her way toward the bedroom as Tara stopped and looked at the bored with the seating arrangements.
"Interesting that she put Spike and Angel at the same table," Tara commented as she continued to look on. "Oh and she put Wesley, Doyle and Faith together…oh and Anya is sitting with them," Tara looked at Willow. "This should be an interesting night." She said as she caught up with her girlfriend. "Where is Buffy staying again?" she asked knowing that she didn't want to spend the night with Buffy because it was the night before their wedding.
"I believe she is staying with Doyle," she said. "Which in itself in weird because anyone can see that he has the biggest crush on Cordelia…plus he's a demon, well half demon." She stated.
"Doyle's half demon?" Tara asked in a surprised tone.
"Yeah…didn't you know?" Willow stopped and looked at Tara. "I thought everyone but Cordelia knew," she said.
"And me apparently," Tara said. "Can we just get this show on the road because I am starving," she said as she pushed Willow ahead of her.
"Sure 'Operation fun day with Cordelia' is underway," Willow explained. But when she opened the door to Cordelia's room, Cordelia was standing in the doorway all dressed and ready for the day. "We were supposed to surprise you," Willow whined.
"Well you two aren't the most quietest people in the world," she said as she threw her hair up in a ponytail not really bothering to do it. "Anyway today is my wedding day you really think I would spend the whole day in my room…yeah right." She said as she walked out of her bedroom and into the living room. "Where's Buffy?" she asked expecting to see her girlfriend.
"Faith is out with her," Tara stated. She knew she shouldn't have said that when Cordelia whipped around to look at her. "She is showing her around town just like we are w-with you." She explained.
"Buffy used to live in L.A. She already knows her way around town!" Cordelia yelled. "Doesn't she know what Faith is trying to do?" Cordelia asked herself as she paced in the living room. "I know what's she's trying to do…why doesn't anyone else see it!" she yelled looking at the two witches. "Don't you see it?"
"Cordy…listen to me," Willow said as she walked over to where Cordelia was standing. "I know you think Faith is trying to break you and Buffy up and she may be but I know Buffy better than anyone. And I know that she loves you…very much," she said. "She would never do anything to hurt you." She added.
"That's what you think…" Cordelia trailed off.
"No…that's what I know," Willow stated. "Now come on we owe you a day out on the town for some fun," she said as she grabbed her hand and the three of the walked out of the apartment.
Buffy's apartmentFaith was standing in the living room looking at her watch. Buffy told her that she would only be a few more minutes…well that was an hour ago and Faith was getting inpatient.
"Come on B…I have a long day planned and if we don't get a move on we'll be late." She said as she took another look toward Buffy's room. "Come on!" she yelled and finally Buffy came walking out. "It's about time." She said.
"Hey…you can't rush perfection," Buffy said. "Besides I didn't take that long," she said. Buffy took a look at the clock and cringed a little before looking back at Faith who had her arms crossed over her chest. "Okay so maybe a was running a little late." She admitted.
"Ya think?" Faith let her hands fall to her sides. "Okay now lets get going…because today is your last day as a free woman," she said as she grabbed Buffy's hand. "And it is going to be awesome," she said.
Buffy and Faith were both laughing as the exited the apartment and walked out into yet another bright sunny day in Los Angeles.
Angel Investigations
This was not good, today was supposed to be a day of happiness and he really didn't want to get Buffy involved unless he had to. Today was her big day…so why did it also have to be a day someone wants to end the world. Angel sat at his desk looking over the translation of some ancient prophecy that Wesley had brought him.
And if what Wesley translated was true than they were in for some serious trouble in the coming hours of today.
The mallThey took her to the mall. Willow and Tara took Cordelia Chase to the mall. They realized their mistake when every clothing store, well fashion store; employee started talking to her like they were best friends. After all it is Cordelia Chase who, is she has money, lives in the mall.
Cordelia walked along side Willow and Tara and even so often she would take a glance at her cell phone to see if she had some way missed Buffy's call. And every time so far she had been disappointed because Buffy hasn't called her all day. She knew that she had nothing to worry about, at least not with Buffy, but Faith was an entirely different story.
Cordelia looked down at her cell phone one more time and saw that she had a message and that brought a smile to her face. When she flipped her phone open she call her voice mall. It told her that she had one missed call. "Hey baby, sorry I haven't called you but Faith had kept me busy, I love you and I can't wait until tonight." Buffy's voice said on the phone.
But before Cordelia had a chance to reply to Buffy's message her cell phone was taken away from her and she turned to look at a smirking Willow. Who in turn stuck the cell phone in her pocket. "There is no Buffy for you today…at least not until later. Right now it is all about you," She explained.
Cordelia looked at Willow with one of her evil Queen C glare but it seemed as if she was unaffected. "Come on, she is out on the town, L.A. no less, with someone that wants to steal her from Me." She whined. Willow just rolled her eyes and took Tara's hand as they walked away from Cordelia. "What…it's true," Cordelia said to herself before she followed them.
As she walked slowly behind Willow and Tara she had millions of things that she would bet her bottom dollar on that Faith was trying.
Why would they let something like this happen? Everyone, including Buffy, knows that Faith has always wanted to be with Buffy. And everyone knows that she will stop it nothing to steal her from me. Okay maybe everyone doesn't know that…but I do. I mean come on, she thinks I don't see the way she looks at Buffy…I do and I can tell you right now that I don't like it.
I know she has something up her sleeve for today and I just hope Buffy doesn't fall for it. If I lose Buffy to Faith I don't know what I would do. Buffy is my world.
Wow I never thought I would think that. Back in High School I hated her. I hated her not because of the friends she had, because lets face it they were losers, but I hated her because she chose them over me. No one had ever done that before her. Another big reason why I was so mean to her was because I was jealous, I mean she had everything. She had friends that lover her for her and not her money, she had a really hot boyfriend, and she saved the world. How many people can say they save the world every other day? Not many.
"Cordy are you coming?" Willow called from in front of Cordelia.
Cordelia looked at them and nodded. She hadn't even realized that she had wondered that far away, but what could she say she was in Buffy world. Cordelia had a smile on her face as she walked up to where Tara and Willow were waiting. Sure Faith may have some evil plan up her seleeve but Buffy won't fall for it.
Somewhere in L.A
Faith was sitting across from Buffy at the table they had occupied. Buffy was looking over the menu and she had been for the past ten minutes, but Faith didn't seem to care she just watched her.
Does she have any idea what she does to me by just being in my line of view? Even when I hear her voice I get shivers…I think I'm in love. But the only problem with that is that I know she doesn't see me as anything other than a friend. Now don't get me wrong after everything that happened between us I am glade that we're friends because she had every right to hate my guts.
Yet for some reason I can't get her out of my head. All I think about is the opportunity that I missed. If I had the slightest idea that Ms. Buffy Anne Summers liked girls I would have made my move a long time ago.
I see her sitting her with me now but I know she really isn't with me. I know her mind is one her real love, Cordelia Chase. What I would do to be Cordelia, just to feel Buffy's lips on mine. I could die happy than.
"Faith?" Buffy asked waving her hand in front of Faith's face successfully breaking Faith's daydream. "Are you ready to order?" Buffy asked as she pointed to the waitress.
"Yeah," Faith said as she looked away from Buffy. "I would like a hamburger with everything and a chocolate milkshake," she paused. "And an order or onion rings," she added. The waitress look at her funny and Faith she shrugged.
"Okay I would like a piece of pizza, a chocolate milkshake, some mozzarella sticks and a bowl of Italian wedding soup." Buffy said as she handed the waitress hers and Faith's menu.
"Okay I'll have your orders ready in a bit," the waitress said eyeing them as she walked away wondering how two skinny girls could eat so much.
"So what else we have planned today?" Buffy asked.
"Oh no…your not getting it outta me," Faith said shaking her head. "No way no how." Buffy went back to reading something that had food orders on it and Faith just watched her. There was no way that she couldn't love this girl.
The waitress brought their food and they ate with minimal talking. When they were done the waitress brought over their check and Buffy snatched it up. "Hey! I said that this day was all about you, that means that I pay," Faith said snatching at it but missing so she got up from her side of the table and sat next to Buffy. "Give it!" Faith said as she started to tickle Buffy how wiggled and tried to get away. Before either one of them knew it Faith had Buffy close to her and Buffy could feel Faith breathing on her.
"Okay here have it," Buffy said handing her the check. But when she looked at Faith all she saw were lust filled eyes. "Faith?" she asked but the younger slayer didn't responded. Instead Faith brought her lips to Buffy's. Who couldn't go anywhere because she was trapped between the table, Faith and the window. "Faith!" Buffy yelled as Faith lips moved closer and thankfully Faith snapped out of it and moved to her side of the table.
Faith sat there still as she went through her wallet getting the necessary amount of money to pay the bill. When she looked up she saw Buffy staring at her. "What?" she asked.
"You almost kissed me," Buffy said matter of factly.
"Don't give yourself an ego bust I didn't just almost kiss you," Faith said. She saw that Buffy wasn't backing down so she gave in even though she didn't want to. "Okay…so I almost kissed you." She said.
"Why?" Buffy asked. "I'm I know you like me…"
"Like you? Come on Buffy…I'm in love with you," she said. "I have been for a long time." She added. "For some reason the only person I want is you, whenever I look at another person I don't see them…I don't want to sound romantic or anything but you all I think about." She said.
"Faith…" Buffy paused. "I'm getting married tonight," she said.
"I know and that's what bothers me. I mean come on B…are you really ready for this. You and Queenie are going to be together for the rest of your lives. But the problem is that you are destined to not live that long and Cordelia doesn't understand that." She paused. "You should be with someone how understands the risks you take every night…and that one night you might no come home…you should be with me."
"Okay…that is enough," Buffy said standing up. "You are not going to break up my wedding." She said. "I love Cordelia and no one else. Faith you're my friend and I am sorry that I have to tell you this but that is all you will ever be." Buffy said.
"Buffy?"
"No Faith, I love you but only as a friend." She said and then she started walking away.
"Where are you going?" Faith asked.
"I think I should leave…you seriously have some thinking to do." Buffy said and then walked out the door and into the bright sunlight of L.A. Faith got up and followed her out into the street but when she got out there Buffy was nowhere in sight.
"Way it go Faith," she said to her self as she went back into the restaurant and paid the bill.
Streets of L.ABuffy was walking along the streets of L.A by herself. For most girls this would be a very bad idea but she was far from normal and the weird thing was that she used to hate not being normal. But now it doesn't really bother her that much. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that she found someone that loves her.
More than one person actually, Faith and Cordelia. But unlike Faith Buffy loved Cordelia in return, Faith is just a really good friend. Or at least that was what she thought, now that Faith has revealed her feeling Buffy is starting to have second thoughts about her wedding that is supposed to take place tonight.
Why did she have to go and do that? I am supposed to get married tonight and she had to go and tell me that she's in love with me. I know when you get married your not supposed to have any doubts but now there are doubts that pelage my mind. Like what would happen to Cordelia if some vamp gets lucky and kills me? Or will I be able to support her with all the stuff she needs and slay? Will the slaying get the way of our marriage?
Faith said that I should be with her because she knows and understands the risks that I take every night. She knows that one night I may not come home…would that be enough to keep use together? I mean don't get me wrong I love Faith but only as a friend…would I be with her because I don't want to hurt Cordelia?
What am I thinking? I love Cordelia and she loves me and I want to be with her until I die…which may not be that far away. I am going to marry her because she is the one I love. She has been with me from the being so she does know the risk and she may not understand them, but even I don't understand them.
Buffy walked along the street as she watched the sun set over the horizon. She mad her way to the apartment so she could get ready to marry the woman that she loved more than life itself.
Angel InvestigationsAngel was standing by his desk when Buffy walked through the door. She looked over at him and gave him a weak smile. He crossed the room to where she was and stopped her before she went somewhere else.
"Buffy…what's wrong?" he asked her.
"This whole day seems to perfect," she said and he looked at her funny. "I mean every time I try to do something that is important to me something or someone tries to ruin it for me." She explained.
"Your waiting for the other shoe to drop?" he asked.
"Exactly! Nothing ever happens for me without me having to fight for my life," she said as she looked at him. "If something is going to happen than I want it to happen now because Cordelia deserves to have the wedding of her dreams." She said,
Angel smiled at her and she looked at him with a confused expression. "You don't have anything to worry about." He said. "You see there was this group of demons that wanted to bring hell to earth and well Doyle and I kinda ruined their plans." He paused. "We didn't think you should have had to do anything like that toady…after all it is your wedding day." He said with a smile.
"Thank you," Buffy said as she brought Angel in for a hug.
"Now go get ready because Willow called a few minutes before you walked in and the wedding is in an hour." He said and before he knew it Buffy was out of the offices and on her way to Doyle's apartment.
Cordelia's apartmentCordelia was in her apartment with Willow and Tara getting ready for her wedding. Buffy had called her a few minutes ago and told her that she loved her and that everything was going to be okay. But than Giles called Willow and told her that they were having trouble getting the Coven member done her to do the ceremony since Buffy and Cordelia couldn't have a legal wedding.
So Cordelia was pacing back and forth in her wedding dress in her living room. "Why is this happening to me? What did I do o deserve this?" Cordelia asked Willow who sat on the couch with her girlfriend.
"Cordelia listen…everything is going to be fine…trust me." Tara said from beside Willow.
Just before anyone could do anything the phone rang and Willow answer. "Thanks Giles," she said before she hung up the phone and looked at the two girls. "She's here," she stated and they could see Cordelia visibly relaxed. "Now what do say we get you married," she said and Cordelia grinned.
Somewhere in L.AFaith walked the streets just wondering around not really caring where her feet where taking her.
How could you have been so stupid? You just ruined the friendship, the only true friendship that you have ever had. Why? Because you don't want her to merry Cordelia.
Faith was broken out of her thought by the sound of her cell phone ringing. "Hello?" she asked into it.
"Faith?" It was Buffy. "I know things are a little weird between us right now but I would still love for you to come to the wedding," Buffy said.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world B," Faith said with a smile. Even if she couldn't have Buffy she could think of anyone better than Cordelia to have her. "See ya there," Faith said as she hung up the phone and took of running.
The alterPeople were filing in their sits on the hilltop. Buffy and Cordelia had picked a spot right by the beach in the moonlight. They needed to have a night wedding because of Spike and Angel but neither one of them minded knowing that Buffy spent most of her time in the dark.
Cordelia was in her tent peaking around at everyone. "Oh my God there are so many people, when did Buffy get so popular?" she asked as she turned around to look at Willow. "I don't think I can do this," she said. "What if I trip and fall?" she asked and Willow couldn't help the smirk. "It's not funny…it could happen," she said.
"Cordelia…relax." Tara said. "Everything is going to be fine.
Cordelia turned and looked back out of the tent and that is when she saw Buffy standing up there waiting for her. "How did I get so lucky?" she asked. She turned back to Willow and Tara. "I'm ready."
After everyone was seated the song came on and Cordelia started to walk out. They decided not to go with the traditional marriage music so they picked something from Dawn's collection.
All I am, all I'll be
Everything in this world
All that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes
Shining at me
When you smile I can feel
All my passion unfolding
Your hand brushes mine
And a thousand sensations
Seduce me 'cause I
As Cordelia walked up the isle she never took her eyes off of Buffy's. Buffy mouthed 'I love you' and Cordelia returned it.
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do
All of her doubts were gone the instant she saw Cordelia walking toward her. This is the woman that she wants to spend the rest of her life with. No one else matters.
In my world before you
I lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
'Til that day I found you
How you opened my life
To a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all my heart
'Til my dying day
All past arguments and fights forgot today was a happy day for both of them and they would make sure that it stayed that way. Behind Cordelia Buffy could see Faith taking a seat next to Dawn and she smiled. Today is perfect.
Cordelia now stood in front of Buffy and they held hands as the Coven member came closer to them.
"This is not a normal wedding and you two are far from normal so we are going to do it differently." She paused. "Buffy Anne Summers…the slayer. Do you take Cordelia Chase to be your wife?" she asked.
"I do." Buffy stated.
"And do you Cordelia Chase take Buffy Summers to be your wife?" she asked.
"I do." Cordelia said.
"I now pronounce you…wives." She said. "You may kiss the bride." She said and Cordelia leaned in and took Buffy lips in here.
"NOW IT'S TIME TO PARTY!" Faith screamed as she stood up. They all went into the reception hall.
Cordelia's apartment (later that night)
Close your eyes, make a wish
And blow out the candlelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gonna celebrate, all thru the night
Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl your wish is my command
I submit to your demands
I'll do anything, girl you need only ask
Cordelia sat on the bed with rose petals, which she knew she was going to have to thank Willow and Tara for as Buffy came closer to her. Buffy leaned in closer and kissed her passionately. And the next thing she knew she was being pushed back onto the bed.
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all thru the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to
Cordelia looked up at Buffy as Buffy undid her dress and started to slide it down. She never thought this day would come, a day that she could call Buffy Summers her wife.
Girl relax, lets go slow
I ain't got nowhere to go
I'm just gonna concentrate on you
Girl are you ready, it's gonna be a long night
Throw your clothes on the floor
I'm gonna take my clothes off too
I made plans to be with you
Girl whatever you ask me, you know I'll do
As the made love this night neither one of them took their eyes off one another because today was truly perfect and if even for a second no one else in the world existed besides them and that is how the wanted to remember it.
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all thru the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to
Faith sits alone in her apartment thinking about who got away. As she held the beer in her hand she looked over at the bed and realized the mistake she had made that night. They always say the easiest place to get lucky would be at a wedding and boy did she get lucky but not in the good way. As she took another drink of her beer she watched the rise and fall of Willow's chest.
Baby tonight is just your night
And I will do you right
Just make a wish on your night
Anything that you ask
I will give you the love of your life.
Cordelia and Buffy lied there holding each other each exhausted by extremely happy that they have found someone to call there own forever.
"I love you," Buffy said.
"I love you too," Cordelia said as she kissed her wife and once again they were lost in each other.
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all thru the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to
