‘Playing 7 Minutes in Heaven as seniors in high school,’ Buffy thought, laughing to herself as she drew a name out of the big glass bowl of guys at the party. Her heart damn near stopped as she looked at the name.
“William Giles!” Xander announced loudly, and all of the girls looked at Buffy apologetically while all of the guys’ shoulders slumped. William was a nerdy guy who’d be cute if he tried. He always spent time in the corner at parties, writing furiously in a little notepad. Everyone suspected it was poetry- awful poetry. She saw him look up and stare directly at her. She smiled softly and noticed him blushing. He hesitantly stood up and came over to her. “All right, kids, the closet next to the kitchen is open currently.” Xander pushed them along, and Buffy grabbed William’s hand, pulling him into the closet with her. He looked horrified, averting his gaze from hers.
“We don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to,” she said quietly, seeing his expression. He stuttered. “Huh?”
“I…I’ve never kissed a girl before,” he said, looking down. Her heart went out to him, and she suddenly felt pity for him.
“Oh,” she replied, frowning. “Do you want to?” He looked at her. “I mean, if you don’t want to, it’s okay.”
“You’d let me k-kiss you?” he asked, still slightly stuttering. She nodded. “Really?” His eyes lit up, and she smiled.
“Sure,” she said. “I’m not going to stop you.” He looked at her and hesitated. “Want me to kiss you first?”
“Umm, yes, that might be best,” he said quietly. She grazed his cheek softly and looked into his eyes before leaning forward and gently kissing him. He responded slowly, kissing her back softly. They did that for a while, letting him get his bearings. He was a quick learner, actually. He wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her close to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she ran the tip of her tongue slowly along his bottom lip. He parted his lips, and she slowly slipped her tongue inside of his mouth, gently brushing it against his. He groaned and repeated the gesture. He let her deepen the kiss even further before mimicking her actions as best he could. As it turned out, he was the best kiss she’d ever had. His hands slowly ran up the back of her shirt, underneath it, and his fingers skimmed over her lace bra. He backed off slightly. “Sorry, I don’t know why I did that.” She smiled and tried to breathe normally.
“It’s okay,” she replied, looking into his eyes. “I didn’t mind.” He seemed surprised. Someone knocked suddenly, so Buffy opened the door and saw Xander standing there with Cordelia. “Seven minutes already?” He nodded. She grabbed William’s hand and led him outside to the front porch. He looked at her sadly. “What’s wrong?”
“Is this where you tell me you had a good time and that you’re going home?” he asked, looking down.
“No,” she answered, raising an eyebrow. He looked at her, surprised. “I was going to ask if you wanted to continue this elsewhere.” He suddenly broke out smiling and nodded. “Cool. I’m home alone this weekend, so we can go to my house.”
“Are you sure?” he asked, his voice cracking slightly. “I mean, Buffy, I’ve never had-“ She put a finger over his lips.
“I’m not going to make you do anything you don’t want to do or feel uncomfortable doing,” she said quietly.
“It’s not that I don’t want to,” he replied. “I just don’t know how.” She smiled softly. “If you’d help me, maybe I could-“
“I’ll help as much as I can,” she said, taking his hand in hers. “Did you drive here?” He shook his head. “Good, then I’m driving us.” She led them to her car and drove the two to her house. She let them in, and he shut the door behind him. “Are you scared?”
“Yes,” he answered. She went over to him and kissed him softly. He kissed her back and held her close to him.
“You have nothing to be scared about,” she replied. He looked down. “What’s wrong, William?”
“Why would you want to do this with me?” he asked. “An inexperienced guy? The others could do better.”
“You don’t know that,” she said quietly, grazing his cheek. “And I find your innocence endearing.” He smiled slightly. “That’s the spirit.” She led him upstairs and to her room. “You’re not a guy who’s waiting for marriage to do this, right?”
“No,” he said. “I…I guess I saved it for the right girl and the right time.” He looked at her. “For you.” She raised an eyebrow, and he came closer to her, handing her his little notebook. She hesitantly took it and opened it, skimming through it.
“These are all about me,” she said quietly, in disbelief. He nodded. “I didn’t know.” She looked at him. “You like me?”
“Ever since I first saw you,” he answered, looking slightly scared and insecure. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him intensely. He groaned as she deepened it quickly. Buffy broke away to look at him and smiled. “What is it, luv?”
“Thank you,” she whispered. He seemed confused. “No one’s ever been this sweet before to me. Thank you.”
“No one’s been like this to me, either,” he said, grazing her cheek. She slowly shut her eyes to bask in his touch.
“Will you let me do this honor for you?” she asked, running her hands down the front of his T-shirt. His breathing hitched.
“You want to…to sleep with me?” he asked, looking into her eyes. She nodded. “Are you sure? Because I don’t have to-” She kissed him again, and he pulled her flush up against his body. She led him to her bed and laid down. He hesitantly got on top of her and held himself up above her with his hands. “Buffy, I think I’m in love with you.” She saw how sincere he was. “You don’t have to say it back. I just wanted to say that.” She leaned up to kiss him softly. “And you’re the most magnificent woman I’ve ever known.”
“You’re the sweetest guy I’ve ever had the chance to spend time with,” she said genuinely, and he smiled. “Are you sure?”
“I’ve never been more sure about anything in my life,” he replied. “But you’ll help me along? I won’t hurt you?”
“You won’t do anything wrong,” she said, kissing his collarbone. “It’ll all be okay. I promise.” He nodded and looked down at her. “And before this goes any further, I just want to say thank you for tonight.” He smiled.
“Thank you, too, luv,” he replied. “Thank you so bloody much.” He kissed her and held her protectively close to him.
