Hello wonderful readers :) So... sorry it took me a while to get this one updated, but I could not for the life of me figure out where I wanted the story to go, my head was all over the place... BUT I have it mapped out and have written a lot of it :) *Squeak* I'm excited, hope you like it as much as I do...

I'd appreciate reviews and happy reading :)

Chapter 5

Buffy reached behind her opening the door for them; they made their way in… not bothering to break their kiss heading for the bed; he laid her down slowly. They continued their fiery kiss… she slipped her hands under his blazer slowly caressing it off over his shoulders, he allowed her to slip it off, but he commenced to slow his kisses… he kissed her gentler and gentler until he stopped.

He knew he could have had her right there and then; just like all the other women that came in and out of his life, but this girl was different… HE knew deep inside him she was different.

"Everything ok…?" She stared up from under him waiting for him to say or do something.

He kissed her on the lips once more breathing in her scent and whispered to himself, "God… I can't believe I'm going to do this…"

"Do what…?" she began to feel self conscious.

"I…" he closed his eyes sitting on the bed; then looked back at her, "I really like you Buffy… but… I don't want our first time to be like this…"

Buffy couldn't believe what she was hearing, she was being rejected… "Um… wow, I'm sorry… I thought you wanted…" embarrassment showed clear on her face, she got off the bed to get hold of herself.

"No Buffy it's not what you think, of course I want y…" he got up to hug her as he could tell he'd hurt her feelings, but she pushed him away.

"Look Angel, I'm a big girl I get it… you don't want me, its fine… but don't make things more awkward and just go…"

At hearing her plea, he sobered up quick; she spoke with such hurt and humiliation. She walked towards the door and held it open gesturing him to leave.

Angel walked towards the door… the doubt of whether he should leave or not in his head. He paused next to her and she avoided his eyes. He sighed and walked out the door determined to leave… But then half way down the hall he thought, I can't leave things like this… I feel worse than if I had actually slept with her, so he rushed back to her door right before she closed it.

He pushed the door open, taking her by surprise and began kissing her passionately… he'd pushed her against the door in an 'I want you' way and he began grinding himself against her. Purposely making sure she was aware of his desire, she began to push herself away from him as breathing was becoming an issue…

She panted against his lips, trying to catch her breath…

"Now tell me that I don't want you…" he returned with a seductive smile.

She looked back him with a flirty look and smirked at him…

"Now then…" he pressed his lips to her, "coffee date tomorrow or today actually…?" he joked.

She chuckled.

"Good…" he said without letting her respond, "see you later Miss Buffy Summers…" and with that he left.

She stood by the door where he'd almost taken her, the thoughts deliciously playing back in her head making her hum to herself for a moment. In a daze she got in her PJs and went to bed happier than she thought she should be.

The next morning Buffy woke with a smile on her face… last night had been eventful. But her smile faded the moment she began to feel she was beginning to give importance to something else other than her career. Realization hit her… my dance class… she glanced at her watch and she had an hour. She showered, got ready, and was running down the stairs, all in less than thirty minutes… probably set a record she thought.

As she pushed through Hampton Hall's doors, she saw a limo parked and a very sexy man leaning against it holding two Starbucks cups… He grinned, "Well good morning sun shine…"

"Oh god… our coffee date…" she let out, "Angel… I'm giving a class in twenty-five minutes… I…"

He walked towards her kissing her on the lips, "I know… So… double shot of strong coffee or vanilla latte…?" He asked while leading her to the limo.

"Ugh… you're morning person aren't you… wait how did you know my favorite drinks?"

"I had Riley ask Willow…" He gestured her to choose a cup.

She chose the strong coffee one, then gasped, "Willow! I didn't see her when I got up is she…?"

"She's fine…" he smiled, "She spent the night at Riley's…" he smirked as he insinuated with his eyes what probably happened.

"Oh…" she returned, "thanks for the coffee, I love Starbucks but like I said I have to get going…"

"Yes… and I am taking you…"

She glanced at him weird, "O… kay… but in a limo?" She questioned… she was use to living the simple life not rich, but not poor, but her family had had just enough.

"I wanted to do something special for our first official mini date…" He said as they settled in the limo and was greeted by a tray of small breakfast pastries displayed for them to eat. They almost looked too pretty to eat, and the tininess of them just made them that much cuter… She was about to say something but he spoke. "Where am I taking you?"

"Oh… Sunnydale Senior Center…" she answered.

Angel looked at her confused, "Jeffrey… to uh… the Sunnydale Senior Center…"

The limo driver nodded on mirror to him and said, "Right away sir…"

He turned to Buffy, "So… Senior Center huh?"

She laughed, "Yes… is that a problem…?" she raised an eyebrow.

"No… not at all… I think it's sweet of you… it's just not the kind of thing I thought someone like you would do…"

He grabbed a small pastry and proceeded to try and feed it to her.

"Someone like me…?" she dodged him trying.

"I don't mean it as an insult Buffy, just people our age tend to not care for the elderly… hence senior centers…"

"Well how sad for those kinds of people, but I'm not like that… I care…"

"And that… only makes me like you more…" he tried to feed her again, "come on… these scones are the best and my favorite…"

She narrowed her look and allowed him to give her the pastry, the moment she began chewing she hummed delighted, "Mmmmm…"

"Told ya…" he smiled.

Such a short drive later they were at the Senior Center, the limo driver opened the door for her, "Thank you for our cute date…" she stepped out, "Jeffrey… Buffy…" she shook his hand. "Thank you for driving us…"

The gesture seemed endearing to Angel, he'd never once thanked any of his employees. He got out of the limo to say bye when she asked, "You coming?"

"I… I don't think that's such a good idea…"

"Why not… not into old people…?" She squinted at him.

He smiled, "No… it's not that, I just… I don't really dance…" he finished.

She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the center, "No better time than the present to learn then…"

With any other girl, he might have slipped out of her grip and told her some other time, but her… with her sweet look, and pleading smile, he just let himself get swept up by her.

"Okay guys, sorry I was a couple of minutes late… during that time, I hope you've all stretched…"

The group nodded.

"Good… then let's get started, I will like to introduce a new student that will be helping me with today's class, Mr. Angel O'Donnell…" she gestured him to come forward. The class clapped.

As he realized what she was saying, he began to nod no to her, but she smiled and nodded yes calling him to the front of the class.

He couldn't believe she was doing this, but he went ahead and went along with it anyways. He went to the front of the class and she faced him towards her.

"Okay now… pair up… face your partner and hold in dancing position…" she instructed.

She pulled Angel forward and he placed his right hand on her hip and his left hand held it up for her palm to fit.

"Good... now we will go over the steps from last time…" she gestured to one of the staff members for music, "now, forward side back side… forward side back side… remember you're creating a box…" Angel held her closer and smiled as her expression had become more of a responsible teacher. He was enjoying this very much…

As the couples in Senior Center all danced around and were distracted, she whispered, "I thought you said you didn't know how to dance… or I'm just a very good teacher…" She laughed softly.

"Well I think it's because I'm a very good student…" he joked, "but I never said I didn't know how to dance, I just said that I didn't…"

"Oh…" she answered. He then slid his hand from her waist to the small of her back and she felt a chill run up through her.

"Ah ah ah…" she slid away from him and turned to the class, "keep going… good job…" she walked among the students with a devious smile towards him. Didn't he know what his touch did to her…?

Angel stared at her as she slipped from his grip… he'd felt her shiver against him and he enjoyed what his presence did to her. She had caused a roller coaster of emotions to run through him in the last 24 hours and was happy to feel like it was mutual.

They had continued the rest of the class for the one hour, then said their goodbyes to the class and walked out.

"You are amazing…" Riley whispered to Willow still half asleep by his side.

"So are you…" she whispered back, "so… what know…"

"Now…?" he questioned not really looking for an answer, "now we have breakfast… what would you like…"

"Mmmm…" she wondered, "how about a bacon, egg and cheese croissant sandwich…"

"Sounds delicious…" he answered, kissed her really quick and slipped out of bed.

"Where you going…?" she called after him.

Moment later he came back with a bed tray with orange juice, coffee, and two croissant sandwiches. He laid down next to her again, and brought the tray close to them.

"Mmmm… I was just joking, but all looks so good…" she smiled.

She'd just taken a bite of her sandwich when he asked, "Would you go out with me…?"

She was caught somewhat off guard and coughed, "I'm sorry…"

"Go out with me… like, like my girlfriend…" he said shyly.

She just stared out like into nowhere… her silence making him uncomfortable.

Buffy and Angel were walking out of the community center, "Thank you for doing this…" she smiled.

"No problem… I really enjoyed it actually…" he answered.

"Surprised…?" she questioned jokingly; then froze in place.

"Yeah… I…" then stopped when he saw Buffy pause, she starring at something shocked. He followed her line of vision and saw a man, platinum hair, red roses in his hand approaching…

"Hello love…"

She was stunned, she couldn't find her voice, when it finally decided to work, she whispered, "Spike…?"
