Timeline: This Story is part 3 of my `Happily ever after' Series and
is placed after `Restless' and `To Shanshu in LA'
Notes: Dawn's already there, so don't wonder.
Dedication: This one is for Ducks, Serena and Rachel. I love your
stories! You rock! Sorry, Sorry when I've copied a few lines in the
past but I'm still German and not that good in speaking (or writing)
English..Sorry! And it was NEVER my intention! Besides I really can't
hold a candle to you!
"Angel's coming today?" Willow asked her best friend in History class.
"Yep, He'll spend the entire holidays here with me" She said dreamily.
"Where will he stay?"
"I thought first the dorm, since it's only two days till the classes ends - I mean, only if it's ok for you. It is, isn't it?"
"Sure"
"GREAT! And then we'll stay at my mom's. She's used to him by now and really likes him and Dawn likes him anyway" She said smiling.
The two of them grew quieter after a few shushing noises from the other students.
"When will he arrive?" Willow asked when the bell rang.
"This evening"
Willow looked past her. "Guess you don't have to wait that long."
Buffy looked in the direction Willow was pointing and there he was, leaning at the doorframe.
She rushed to him and nearly jumped upon him, kissing him `hello'.
"Hey" He said quietly, half-smiling down at her.
"Hey" She repeated, leaning on his chest. "I missed you"
"I love you" Angel said and kissed her once more.
Willow cleared her throat. "Buffy, for your own sake, this is your college. PDA's not that likely seen, here!"
Buffy and Angel parted sheepishly
*~*~*
Buffy and Angel lay on her bed (fully clothed). His arm around her waist, his hand resting under her shirt over her stomach.Outside it rained cats and dogs.
"You're coming" Willow asked from inside her dresser.
"A whole evening in Xander's basement?" Angel asked.
"Oh, Come on, honey. It'll be fun!"
Angel was looking at her like she'd just told him he was going to be executed. Buffy made an `Ahw' noise and stroked his hair, then she got up a put on her knee-length-boots.
"And they say medieval torture is over-rated" Angel commented while getting up as well.
*~*~*
Willow, Angel and Buffy were the last to join the rest of the Scooby Gang in Xanders basement and by the time to arrive there, completely soaked. Of course they hadn't thought about taking an umbrella with them. This was California!
"It never rains in Southern California? Whoever said that, should never come across my way, for his own sake!" Buffy growled "I'm tired and sick-y and wet."
"Wet?" Spike asked grinning.
"Very funny!"
Buffy fell down the stairs and landed with a `thump' on Xander's armchair, with an `Ouch' on her lips.
Spike was laughing his head off.
Angel immediately jumped to her side and checked if she was ok. He scooped her up and carried her to the couch.
"And I thought THIS shouldn't happen to Slayers!" Xander commented
The entire Scooby Gang was gathered in the small room (even Giles!). They had planned to make this video-night again, because the last time they'd been haunted by `first-Slayer' possessed prophetic nightmares. They spent the night joking around, watching old horror movies, doing the Scooby Dance.
They all argued over various Vampire films except Buffy and Angel who were too busy shoving their tongues down each others throats.
She'd pillowed his lap and Angel was whispering sweet little nothings into her ear, making her smile grow. The bad mood only several hours ago was completely forgotten.
"Aren't they the most disgusting thing you've ever seen?" Spike stated but neither Buffy nor Angel heard. They were stuck in their own little universe.
"Nah, I would say they're rather cute, aren't they?" Willow chirped brightly.
"Definitely, If you think about their past, it's a well deserved happiness." Giles said smiling.
"Are you blind? Have you seen their PDA? They're almost doing it in front of all people! That's *so* going past the walls of *cute*" Xander yelled.
"Once jealous, always jealous?" Willow asked grinning.
"I-I would say th-they make a s-stunning couple. They are in a c- completely balance: small-tall, l-light-dark." Tara said shyly "Th- their aura's m-match"
"Why can't we do something like that in public, Xander? It looks like fun!" Anya asked
"We make that when we're alone. That's enough" He said blushing
*~*~*
Buffy and Angel sat on a bench in the cemetery, both looking up at the sky.
"We need a star!" Buffy said.
"What?"
"A star! Like an `our place' and inside jokes and buying dressers" She said smiling.
"Then pick one out" He smiled at her.
"That one!" She pointed at the biggest, most lightly and shiny star.
"That's the Venus!" He commented.
"Well, then I guess it's perfect!"
