Chapter 4

- Ok, now that we, girls, are finally alone… please, talk about the gorgeous. He can't be gay! Cordelia, tell me he is not gay.

- Sorry, Buffy. You saw the way he presents himself. Do you remember Harmony?

- Harmony "I am a slut" Kendall? Yes.

- He planned her marriage and she said that Faith… well… you know Faith. She trapped him in a room in the kitchen of the hotel while he went to see how things were going… and he dismissed her saying he was faithful to his boyfriend. Faith also didn't believe he was gay and got a lot disappointed. I mean… he doesn't show off that much.

- Well… my loss. I'm doomed in the romance arena.

- Buffy, you are not doomed.

- Yeah, right. Where will be the parties tomorrow?

- Well. We and other girls in the wedding are booked in a strip club.

- Cordelia!

- Buffy, please. It is my last single night. I have to enjoy. Besides, please! Do you think that the boys won't arrange a striper for Doyle?

- Oh! A valid point of view.

Chapter 5

Buffy woke up six in the morning in the wedding day mainly due to time difference from London. She put her bikini and decided to go beach walking and stay there for a while to enjoy the beach. She came back to the home almost nine through the courtyard. Angel was talking to one of his employees when he saw her coming. She was wearing a royal crochet bikini that let little to imagination, although the thong was hidden behind a too transparent white short sarong. His assistant and every other male in the precinct stopped what they were doing to appreciate her. She said good morning to everyone and seemed to not notice her effect over the male population in the local. Angel had to contain himself to not drool over her as well, and his control almost snapped when she stopped in front of him.

- Hi, Angel. Morning.

- Morning.

- Is everything ok?

- Yes. Nothing to worry about. Flowers are around and we hope everything will be ready by noon. Now, sweet, you have to worry only about your clothes. Mel will be here at three to start with the make-up and everything else.

- Thank you. I'll go have my breakfast.

- Ok.

Angel finally released the breathing he was holding.

Chapter 6

Angel spotted Buffy sat in one of the swings in the courtyard and decided to talk to her.

- So. You are back.

- Yes. I decided to come and see things. I mean… I'm not checking on your work. Please don't think that. It's just that I find beautiful this whole thing. I mean… it is a dream coming true for Doyle and Cordelia. She is a spoiled brat, but it is also a nice person. So I'm happy.

- Yeah. I know. I was surprised with her. In my work you can see the best and the worst of any person, of course, mainly women. When will I plan your marriage?

- Not sure if I will have one.

- Why?

- Bad luck in the love territory. My last boyfriend decided to bang his secretary in our apartment.

- Sorry. His loss!

- Thank you.

- But surely you have someone back in Europe.

- Yes. I dated another man in London, but I had to come back and the long distance thing is not for me I guess.

- Think on the bright side. You liked someone again. Besides, by the looks you received in the morning I don't think it will be difficult for you to find someone. So, maybe I will after all plan your marriage.

- No. You won't. I wouldn't have the money to pay your services.

- Well. I thought you were rich like Cor. And just for the record, I don't do only pompous weddings.

- Oh, no. I am the only grandchild of her nanny. When my grand mom died together with my parents in a car accident her father and mother decided to adopt me at sixteen.

- I'm sorry.

- No. That is ok. They were wonderful, but I don't fancy myself with their money. I went to the university and worked to pay most of my fees there. Of course they were not totally pleased with me, but I really wanted to take care of myself. I finished pharmacy and started to work to a pharmaceutical industry after it. It was there that I met my cheating ex four years ago.

- It seems to me you are a great person. They surely are very proud of you.

- Yes. They are. How did you decided to be a wedding planner?

- I was a natural you could say. My sister was getting married ten years ago and didn't know where to start. We could not afford the wedding planner. One day she was showing my mother some things and I started to give advices. After two hours we had a lot of things on the way and she said I was a natural and that I should be a wedding planner. I was twenty one back there. I ended up being very praised by her friends. So, one after the other they married with my help and when I finished my design course I knew what I wanted to do.

- Wow.

- Yes.

They stared at each other for a while. The wind was blowing some of Buffy's blonde hair in her face and Angel used one finger to push then behind her ear. He had to touch her, just a little. They were close and Angel finally looked at her. Buffy's hazel eyes were hypnotizing. She had beautiful full lips that begged to be kissed. He started to lean to her.

- Angel… what… what are you doing?

- Oh! Sorry! I… I wanted to see your eyes. They… they are pretty. I was just thinking about the make-up so I'd suggest something.

- Oh!

- I'm going. See you later.

Angel left, but Buffy saw the expression of his desire in his trousers.
