More of our favorite couple! Enjoy!

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Hello."

Angel was in a church with Fred looking for the ways to accommodate the bride requirements for her weeding.

"Angel. I got it! I got it!"

"Hey, sweet! That is wonderful. How was it?"

"Lorne is such a nice guy. He showed me around the laboratory. I'll be working in the team researching a new drug against cancer. "

"He? I thought he was a she."

Buffy rolled her eyes. Angel could hear her barely suppressed laugh when she spoke again.

"Dah! Angel… please! I am talking about my new job and all you heard was the name of my employer! Men! Lorne is a man… a nice one for that matter. Really good looking!"

"Buffy!"

"Hey! I am just saying. Besides, you two could really like each other."

"I bet."

Buffy giggled

"You are abusing sarcasm, you know! I am serious! I mean, of course that would be BB."

"BB?"

"Yes. Before Buffy."

Buffy could hear Angel's laugh through the phone. She absolutely loved the way he did it with this deep, rich voice.

"Ok. What he has that you would think we would be best buds?"

"Oh! He is gay. They are showing…"

Buffy mentioned Lorne was gay casually to see what Angel would say. She giggled again when she heard his laugh through the phone. He was telling the story to someone.

"Hey! Who are you talking to?"

"Fred is here with me. We are looking the church to see what can be done for Donna's wedding."

"Goody! Tell Fred I am sending a kiss."

"Ok."

"Well. I'll leave you to your work."

"Ok. Tomorrow we can go house hunting again."

"No. You are not going with me. Angel, you didn't like any place we saw two days ago."

"Yes. And that was because they were not good places for you to live. I want a safe place."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Go to work! Bye!"

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Angel, Buffy, and a real estate broker were looking the fourth apartment that afternoon. Buffy was exasperated because she had liked the first one, but Angel insisted they should see the other ones before making a decision. The apartment they were was spacious for a single person and the building was safe. The building manager seemed to be a nice woman.

"I'll take it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Angel. I'm. The place is well located and safe. I have a garage. What more can I ask?"

The real estate gave the couple privacy so they could discuss the matter, but the time was used to make out when Buffy threw her arms around Angel's neck.

"Well. Now that I have a place of my own, will you help me with the moving in?"

"Hummm… that depends."

"On what?"

"Will I be invited here?"

"Well, that depends."

"Yeah?"

"Yes. I mean… I need a strong man to carry the heavier things, help me with the painting. Maybe in the end of the day I'll reward him with some kisses?"

"Is that a verbal contract? I'd rather have something written. You can always change your mind."

Buffy stopped the hovering of her lips over Angel's and kissed him fully. They separated and Buffy traced his lips with one of her fingers.

"Believe me! With lips like this I would never ever think of changing my mind."

They kissed again.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"You don't have to go, you know it."

"I know, Sean, but I want to have my own place. It's been two months since I came back and I think it is time for me to go."

Mary, Sean, and Buffy were sitting in the Chase's kitchen talking about Buffy's future, who had found the perfect place to live. With Angel's blesses, of course.

"We understand that. It doesn't mean we like it. I hope the place is safe."

"Yes. It's a nice building. Believe me, Angel saw to it."

"I really like that boy. I hope you two get serious."

"Yeah, Mary. Since you saw him, my dear. You seem his mother, you know. Always wanting to marry the poor man."

Sean and Buffy laughed. Mary leaned to her husband and gave him a quick kiss.

"Yes. With my Buffy. Look, honey, I understand your need for a place of your own, but I'll miss you around. This house is too big for just the two of us."

Buffy held both of Cordelia parent's hands with tears in her eyes.

"I know. I'll miss you too. I just want to say thank you for everything you did to me all of these years. I know I was not that good of a teenager after my parents and grandma's deaths, but you never took my rebellious phase as a personal thing against you. I am really thankful I found you to care for me."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Oh… my…"

"Thank you, kind Sr."

Buffy bowed her head a little for Angel just after she had opened the door. Buffy was wearing a halter top and full-length white dress, with slits on both sides, and black high heels.

"W-w-what! I didn't say anything."

"I can translate the salivating boy talk."

Angel leaned and kissed Buffy, while she smiled into his lips.

"Vixen."

"That I am! Come on! I'm new around here and I don't want the manager of the building having a bad impression of me."

Angel kissed Buffy again softly. When they separated, he held her by the waist and guided them to his car.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Cordy!"

"Hey, Buffy. Angel. Nice of you two to show."

"Sorry. We got lost."

"Am I supposed to believe it?"

"Cordelia!"

Buffy rolled her eyes and looked exasperated at Cordelia, who just giggled and grabbed Angel and Buffy by the arm to take them inside her house, which was huge, as only the daughter and son of rich people such as Cordelia and Doyle parents could live in.

"Cordy. Your house is beautiful… and huge."

"I know. Doyle and I want a big family. We don't want an only child. We were and we definitively didn't like it."

"That is good."

"Hey, Buffy, Angel"

Doyle approached the couple and granted them.

"Do you want to drink anything?"

"I won't drink anything. I'll drive Buffy back home. Do you want something, honey?"

"Yes. Martini is good."

"Delia, martini too?"

"Yes, now both of you go. I want my friend for a while."

Cordelia grabbed and left to where Willow was. Angel followed Doyle to talk with Oz.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The dinner was great, mainly with the shocking news of Willow and Oz marriage. The couple just eloped to Vegas to get married. Angel proposed Buffy something after they left Cordelia and Doyle's house.

"Let's go for a beach walk?"

"A beach walk? Goody!"

"I knew you would like it."

The drive to the nearest beach was fast. The couple left their shoes in the car and went for a walk in the sand holding hands. It was a full moon night.

"You happy huh?"

"Yes. It's been forever since the last time I had something stable and normal in my life. My best friends are happy. Sean and Mary are the greatest couple I ever knew. Well, besides my own parents, of course."

"And… what about me?"

"You? Oh yeah! I have the most wonderful, gorgeous and smart boyfriend ever. What more a girl could ask?"

Angel stopped and pulled Buffy against his chest. He leaned and kissed her deeply, a kiss that soon became a full make out session. When they emerged of a kiss for breath, Buffy had her lips full and trembling legs.

"Angel… I… I want you to make love to me."

"Buffy… are you… are you sure?"

"Angel. It's getting difficult to say bye in the end of the night. I just… I just want to see you first thing in the morning… sometimes."

Angel leaned so their forehead touched and kissed her lips softly.

"I know the feeling. Buffy… I…"

Buffy looked at Angel and saw even before his vocalization what he was going to say.

"What?"

"I love you. Don't think I am saying this just because of what is going to happen, but I want you to know you mean the world to me. I've never felt this way about anyone else.

Angel held Buffy's hand and brought them back to his car. The night belonged to them.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

AN: So, isn't good to see our favorite couple happy?

I didn't want Buffy to move in with Angel. She should have her own place first, enjoy being alone, but happy. Enjoy having control over her own house, a job, all that stuff that makes us an independent human being. I hope you like it.
