Summary: Sequel to Reconciliation
Disclaimer: Lemme think.....NAH!

I traced my fingers over his muscular stomach. Every morning I do this in an attempt to wake him up. I think by now, I've got his whole stomach memorized.

Of course, the tracing doesn't work, as usual and I result to something else in order to get my love wake up.

I trace my fingers over his lips. He pretends he isn't awake, but he is. I can tell my the smile his lips form as my fingers run across them.

He's pretending so I will do what I always do after my second attempt doesn't work, kiss him.

I oblige, not that I mind kissing him.

"Morning," I smile after the kiss ends.

"Morning," he returns.

"Hmm..I like waking up next to you."

"Me too."

"I can't believe we've been living together, happily might I add, for over 3 months."

"Me neither. It's a miracle," he agrees. "What do you want to do today?"

"How about we go to the beach?"

"Sounds like a great idea. When do you want to leave?" he asks.

"After we shower?" I giggle and feel like a high school student again.

He grabs me and runs towards the bathroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This is nice," I inform Angel as we sit, with my in his lap at the beach.

"Yeah," he agrees, leaning down for a kiss.

"Buffy," he starts.

"Uh-huh?"

"Do you remember how we promised each other no more secrets?"

I nod.

"Well, I have something I want to tell you. Promise me that you won't interrupt."

I nod again. What could he possibly have to tell me? Does he want to break up, does he not love me anymore?

"Do you remember when you came to visit me during Thanksgiving and I killed that Morah demon? Well, it..."

"It wasn't the first time," I filled in for him. "I remembered a while ago."

"I'm sorry," he apologizes.

"Don't be. You might not have had this chance to become human you then we wouldn't be together now."

"I love you."

"I love you, too. I'm not angry at you. At first I was, you gave up our chance for happiness. After debating whether or not to tell you I knew, I decided not to and I finally realized that everything you did for me, leaving and giving this up for me, was for a good reason in the long run. I knew, in my heart, that someday we would be together and then wasn't the time."

"When did you get to be so wise?" he asks me.

"When I met you," I reply.

I jump up from his lap. "Last one in the water has to grant the other a wish."

Immediately he is up and running after me. He still has his speed so he easily catches up to me, grabbing me. He hoists me over his shoulder and we both enter the water at the same time.

"Who won?" I ask.

"It's a tie. We each owe each other a wish," he answers.

"I like how you think, " I say, grabbing him and crushing our lips together.

When our lips separate, I dunk him. He's still stronger than me and he easily grabs me and pulls me under with him.

We kiss under the water. It's perfect and so is he.

He is perfectly perfection.
