~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Angelus stayed in England for weeks. Everynight, after he fed, he'd sit on the steps, and just wait. For a sign, for his Willow, for anything positive. Of course, most nights, he didn't even hear her heartbeat, she was that far away from him.
*Oh Willow,* He sighed, *I'm so sorry.*
Xander was talking with Willow upstairs, "Are you sure you can't go down there, and at least patch things up with him?" The hacker shrugged, "Please. Wesley is too terrified to walk outside, even from the back door."
Willow giggled, "Maybe this'll give him some balls."
"I know you love him."
"It's so weird," She sighed, "You know how we vowed that things wouldn't get weird?" He nodded, closing his eyes, "Well, they did. They got veryt weird. It was supposed to be one night. No more sex. No more of anything. Just us, being the Scooby gang again, and Angelus and Spike were supposed to go back to trying to kill us, and life would go on. But....the fates definately had other plans."
Xander took her hands in his, to comfort her, "I think there was some higher plan. Dead-boy has definately changed. Spike and Dru are gone for good, and Buffy finally has someone who can share her life, walk in the sun," Willow looked away, "I'm not saying that you don't deserve those things, Will', but you complete him, and he gives you amazing passion," She blushed, "I saw it that night, at Faith's. You absolutely crave the attention he gives you, and it's like a drug, or something---"
"It's hard to explain. To him it's sex. To me, well, it's, um, well, I want love."
"Go talk to him. I'd like you to remove His Deadness from the front step."
"Okay," Willow waited for him to leave, before she changed. She put her leather catsuit on, the one with the peasant style sleeves, that resembled the one 'Bad Willow' wore, except instead of the dusty rose complementing the black leather, it was crimson. She brushed her hair up in a twist, using a claw clip to keep it up. Her makeup with simple. Red lipgloss, and mascara. She slipped a pair of Docs on, and then walked downstairs. She took a deep breath, and opened the door. Angelus' back was to her, and his head was in his hands. She slid down behind him, and smoothed her hands across his silk-clad back, "nice night."
He was surprised, and he whirled around, "Willow?" She nodded, "I'm so glad to see you."
"Me, too," She stood up, and reached for his hand, "Wanna talk somewhere?" He stood up, accepting her hand eagerly, "There's a nice spot down by the lake."
They walked in silence. Angelus was too dumbfounded and shocked to say anything. He didn't think she'd ever talk to him again. But, now, he had his chance, and he wasn't going to blow it.
"Here we are," Willow pulled him up onto the dock, "I like it here. Quiet. Peaceful. Private."
Angelus smiled, envelopped her seated form with his own. She sighed and fell back in his arms, and then he spoke, "I have a few small words for you, and I'm just going to say them," She nodded, as he continued to explain, "These past long days have been hell on me, and I finally realized what I need, want, to do. I don't know if you can return these feelings---"
She cut him off, scolding him playfully, "Would you just get to the point, Buddy?"
"I love you."
"Angelus?"
"I, Angelus Kirpatrick, am completely head over heels can't eat can't sleep in love with you, Willow Rosenburg. I've tried to fight it, and I can't."
She sighed, "Oh. I hoped so much you'd say that," She turned her head, and looked him in the eyes, "You know how I feel, right?"
He chuckled, "I think so, but coul I hear it?"
"I love you. For as long as I live."
He turned her to face him, and kissed her sweet and slow. She coudln't help but moan into his mouth. It was so erotic. He ran his hands across her leather-clad body, pulling her as close to him as he could. He stopped, and asked lightly, "When did you prefer leather?"
"I like it," She replied, "Plus, I know you really like it, and well, I was trying to be the girl you wanted."
"I just want you. You are the girl I want. Forever. No other girl would impress me the way you do."
"Stay here with me," She asked, "Please?"
"You are stuck with me."
"Good."
He kissed her again, with the same sweetness in the first one, as he lay her back onto the floor of the dock, pausing only to release her red tresses from the clip. He leaned over her, her hands roaming his body while his hands held himself up. He kissed her again, this time pulling on her lower lip gently with his teeth.
"Look at me," She obeyed, opening her eyes so they were connected in a way she couldn't quite break. He kissed her again, his eye snever leaving hers. She moaned in sheer pleasure of the situation. Looking into his eyes was exciting and sensual. There was soemthing intense about it. He then paused, to ask, "What do you want to happen?"
She shrugged, "One step at a time."
He grinned, undoing the buttons on her top, "Step one," He dipped between the lace-clad breasts to place light kisses in her cleavage, while maintaining eye contact with his lover. She purred under his touch, fueling him further. The top was pushed off, and tossed aside. The bra soon joined it. He suckled on one of her breasts, and then stopped to say, "Step two," He continued his torture on her, sucking and nibbling wherever he saw fit. She couldn't help but squirm under his touch and gaze. His mouth travelled across her stomach, and then, he started placing kissed along the waistband of her pants. And then, he stopped. He saw confusion in her eyes, so he explained, "I really don't want to take these off. They're way too sexy, but, in order for 'step three', I think they have to go."
"Uh huh."
"Keep your eyes with me," She nodded, watching as he sensually removed her clothes, his hands moving in slow, elaborated movements. She was so hot and wet already, and the minute the pants and panties were with the top and bra, his nose was assaulted with her womanly scent. Still in her eyes, he went down on her, first kissing just before the curls, then working his way around them. He spread her legs slowly, and then blazed a trail with his tongue. He dipped into her wetness, lapping it up, savoring it in fear that the night with her was just a dream, and he wanted to make every bit of it last. He flicked his tongue across her clit a few times, which made her arch her back, and throw her head back. He corrected her, "Willow, where are your eyes?"
She grumbled, and slowly struggled to keep them open. This was a test, of sorts, for both of them, but it was also a huge turn on for the couple. She looked into the depths of his eyes, and just focused on him.
As he was about to return the affections to her clit, she stopped him, saying, "What about your steps?"
He was intrigued, "What do you mean?"
She rolled away from him, and then, pushed him down lightly, "Step one," She looked him deep in the eye, as she pulled the silk away from his chest, where she focused her kisses. She kissed along his neck, too, pausing once to suck on his Adam's Apple. He moaned, while trying to keep his eyes in hers. She decided to dip lower, and so she pulled the shirt off, adding it to her clothes. She felt so exposed to him, and the eye contact certainly wasn't helping. It felt like he was raping her over and over with his eyes. Not that she minded his attentions, but, still, this was much much different. Not sex, but love. Intense love.
"Step two," She giggled, pulling on his nipples with her teeth, while she undid his jeans. He moaned and squirmed when she bit too hard, showing his arousal, "And step three."
She first crawled down to his feet, where she untied his boots, keeping her eyes in his. She removed them, and then pulled the socks off, pausing momentarily to massage his feet. Then, she crawled up his body, and started to pull the pants off. Those items finally joined the pile.
"Ooh," She purred, rubbing her hands across the satin boxers, "Nice."
"Willow," He spoke through clenched teeth, "Please, don't tease."
"You know I will."
End Part 1
Angelus couldn't take it anymore. He struggled upright, and then told Willow, "All you'll have to do is lean down there, and your breath, I think, will be enough to make me cum," She giggled softly, drunk on love, "I don't want to waste such a moment."
"Step four?"
He grinned, "Definately step four."
He put her down gently on her back, preparing to enter her. Linked visually, she seemed to be able to see inside of him, and she could definately see fear, and aprehension. *Am I not what he wants??*
In one smooth stroke, he was inside her. But, it wasn't a glorious moment. He could smell her saddness, and asked her, "What's wrong?"
"Why are you so scared?"
Angelus adjusted his position slightly to accomodate her, as he explained, "I'm scared tonight will just be a distant memory. I have you now, and I'm just scared that I'll lose you again. It's so surreal to be with the one you truly love. I never really knew such a feeling. I don't want to lose you again."
She comforted him, "You're never going to lose me. I won't leave you. Not after this. Never."
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
He slowly started a rhythm up, his hips moving in time to hers. She struggled to keep her eyes open, but it was definately difficult. He'd reach forward and capture her lips from time to time, struggling to pleasure her as much as possible.
"Angelus?"
"Yes, Will'?"
"Can I close my eyes when I cum?"
He laughed, shaking his head, "No. Be in me."
She moaned, eyelids fluttering as the sensations became too much, "I think," She panted, "I'm coming."
He kissed her hungrily, pent-up passion pushing him forward. He felt her muscles contract around him, which pushed him over the edge. He leaned to her neck, burying his mouth in her flesh, biting the flesh and drinking her blood. It was erotic to her, and that furthered her waves of pleasure. He rode them out with her, and then gently colapsed on top of her.
"That was wonderful."
"Not WOW?"
She smiled up at him genuinely, "Beyond wow."
"Good," He kissed the tip of her nose, "Glad to make you happy."
"I have a feeling you always will."
End Part 2
Faith and Cordelia were patrolling, when a gang of vampires jumped them. Faith fought as hard as she could, trying to protect Cordelia. If anything happened to her, she wouldn't know what to do.
"Cordy!" She hollered, "Get out of here! Go home!"
"I'm not leaving you," Cordy wielded her stake and cross, ready to protect herself and Faith, "Not ever."
"Stupid!"
"I'm not going!"
They fought side by side until the last few decided to run off. Faith started to cry, and reached for Cordy, "If they had hurt you," She studied her companion's face, "I don't know what I'd do. You're going to stay home next time I patrol."
"So I can stay home and worry about you?" She shook her head, "No. I refuse."
Faith ranted, venting quickly, "IloveyouandI'mnotgoingtoloseyoutosomehalfbakedvamp!!!!"
"Yuo what?"
"I love you," Faith was blushing furiously, but didn't mind at all. She was elated that Cordy didn't run away. Deep down, maybe she knew that the girl returned her feelings, but then, there was a complete nagging doubt that maybe it was in fact, just for the sex, "And if you can't return my feelings, that's fine---"
Cordy cut her off, "Shut. Up."
"Wha---" Her lips were covered with the other's, in a passionate, urgent moment.
"I never ever thought you'd say that."
"You're happy?"
"Extremely elated."
Cordy woke up first, to hear someone banging on the door. *Gotta get a new place. Too many people know where this one is...*
Faith struggled, untangling herself from her partner's limbs, "I'll get it."
"No," She smiled, "I know what you can be like in the morning," After putting on her silk robe, she walked out into the main area, and to the door. She opened the door, "Willow!"
The hacker found herself embraced in a hug, "Cordy. Need to breathe."
Faith had heard her, and was up instantly, clad in a tank top and hospital pants. Cordy was smiling insanely, "It's soooooo good to see you again! HOw's Xander? Wesley?"
Willow replied, "They're fine. Completely happy. Xander's enrolling up there. Hey, Faith. How are you?"
"Five by five. You?"
She beamed, "Extremely happy."
"Something must've happened."
"Angelus came back, after me. We fought, and then, after what seemed like months, we had this amazing night of sex----after he told me he loved me more than anything. I am his obsession. His star."
Faith grinned at her lover, "I knew it would happen."
Cordy smiled, "Me, too. So, c'mon in, get your bags, we'll find some room for you," Willow was about to protest, saying that Angelus had offered her lodging, but she insisted, "His mansion is cold, and definately empty. And, well, we'd miss you."
"Well," Willow fionally got her words in, "Angelus and I are going to move away from Sunnydale."
Faith seemed intrigued, "Why? I mean, at least here, everyone knows not to kill him."
"He thinks it's the opposite."
"Oh."
"Still going to UCLA?" Willow nodded. Cordy spoke, "I'm enrolled there, too.......But, Sunnydale U is seeming pretty good."
Faith shook her head, shutting the front door, "You and Willow are going to school. Angelus and I'll protect each other."
"Don't go evil on us...." Willow warned. Faith pouted, "But, I'm sure Cordy'd love you the same."
Cordy hugged her partner, "I'm sure I would. As long as she's happy."
"And, as long as the Council still thinks they have a chance," faith smirked, "But, for now, Willow stays here. I don't care about what Angelus says or wants," Willow opened her mouth, but the Slayer shut it, "I'll deal with him."
Willow shrugged, "Okay. Lemme change, and then go visit Buffy?"
Cordy shook her head, "Can't. Her and Giles are in England with the Council, trying to work some sort of deal. Something about Watchers and Slayers can't marry. I don't know. I wasn't really listening."
"Oh. That sucks."
"C'mon Will. Unpack."
"Right."
End Part 3
"Is Willow with you?" Angelus showed up at the apartment, to see a very lacking clothes Faith at the door. When the Slayer shook her head, he was slightly angry, "Where is she---" Embarrassment followed suit, when he realized where she was, "UCLA, right?"
Faith grinned, holding the towel tightly to her body, "Right. Our girls went up for the summer tour. Doesn't she tell you anything?"
He shrugged, "I'm so in love with her, that I go blank when I think of her."
"I'm like that sometimes."
"Well, I'm going to go out for a bite."
"I gotta go out, too. Wanna come in, and wiat for me?"
"Sure."
Angelus could not believe his eyes. He had finished his prowl on the world, to go looking for Faith. *She isn't completely healed up. Or maybe she never was. Does Cordelia know about this?*
The Slayer had tied up a vampire, and was definately carving it up with her knife that Buffy had returned to her. Blood was everywhere, all over her, and the ground. *Lucky thing it turns to dust when he's finally dead.* Angelus could not believe his eyes.
She finally stood up, and then staked him. The gleam in her eyes was unmistakable. Angelus knew it way too well. She met his eyes unexpectedly, and her jaw dropped.
"I saw it all," She frowned, as he continued, "Mind telling me what that was about?"
"Why?"
"Does Cordy know about these returning tendancies?"
"They aren't returning. Been here forever."
"Why don't you just come hunting with me?"
She explained in a short version, "Humans bad to kill. For me."
He nodded, as he led the way out of the area, "You gotta get cleaned up."
"I know. I just---" She stopped short, then saying, "Bad habits. Hard to break. I'm trying to be good for Cordy. Just like I think you're doing less maiming than usual," He nodded mutely, "But, why does it have to be so hard? I would love to work for the mayor again."
He added, "And I would, too, if I hadn't met Willow the way I did."
"I know," They walked in silence for most of the way, before she asked, "Don't tell anyone, okay?"
Angelus looked her squarely in the eye, "That's for you to do."
End Part 4
Cordy was extremely glad to get on the plane for home. Willow noticed, and commented on it.
"Glad to be going home?" The brunette nodded eagerly. The hacker smiled, "Me, too. I just can't wait to be in Angelus' arms. I miss him."
She agreed, "I miss Faith."
"You know she misses you."
"I know. She told me she would. Angel must be spazzing by now," They both giggled, thoughts of a spazzing Angelus filling their heads, "Maybe we'll have a nice night together."
Willow shrugged, "Unless Angelus has other plans. I know he's not ever going to be one to share. He wasn't even, on that, um, night, where w-we-e," She stuttered, becoming embarrassed, "You know."
Cordy laughed, "Still embarrassed?" Willow nodded sheepishly, "Gee, don't be. It's odd, and all, I admit.....but wasn't it fun?"
"It filled my Willow-Fun-Quotient for the rest of my life."
"C'mon....."
"Angelus and three girls?"
She laughed, "Okay, a little silly. But, wouldn't he love a bunch of girls fawning over him?" The hacker shrugged, a little upset, "Please? We'll plan a surprise."
"Cordy? Is this you?" The brunette laughed, "I mean, when were you ever like this, so open, and sharing??"
She replied, "Yes, it's me...and as for changing.....I don't know. I blame Faith."
"Yeah," She smiled, "Me, too."
"Well, we'll save that one for a rainy day. I can't imagine anyone wanting to share tonight!"
End Part 5
Faith and Angelus were waiting at the airport, smiling like cheshire cats when the girls got off of the plane, and entered the gate area. Willow noticed it first, and commented on it, "Um, what are you two plotting??"
"Nothing," Angelus kissed her lips gently, "C'mon, let's get your stuff."
Cordy looked at Faith, but she wasn't telling her anything, "Please?" The Slayer shook her head, "You know I don't like surprises, faith."
Faith laughed, "You'll thank me. I promise."
When they got their bags, they walked out into the cool night air. A limo was waiting for them, at Angelus' intruction. Willow gasped, clutching Angelus' arm, "YOu did this? Both of you?" They shrugged silently, as the driver loaded their bags, "Could one of you tell me something?!"
Faith chuckled, "Angel, I think she's mad."
Cordy poked Faith's ribcage, "I'm pretty mad, too."
"Well," Angelus said, "You two will just have to be patient," He showed them into the limo, and then he joined the three girls, "I promise you, though," He kissed Willow again, "You will like it."
Faith looked at Cordy, "You, too."
Willow and Cordy exchanged glances. Nervous 'our-lovers-are-plotting-against-us-glances'.
The vampire and Slayer laughed.
"Oh!" The surprised girls gasped in unison, not quite believing their eyes. Faith's apartment was transformed into a dress shop, where three gowns and one tux were hanging. Jewelry was on a table, and shoes were on the floor, to match the dresses.
Faith smiled, "Angel, I think they like it."
"We do," Willow smiled, squeezing Angelus' hand affectionately, "But, it makes me wonder what else you two have planned."
"Go get dressed," Angelus pointed to a room that was set aside for that very purpose, "Faith and I will get ready, too."
Cordy grabbed her gifts, as did Willow, and they moved into the other room. Willow couldn't believe her eyes. The dress was amazing; It was strapless, and a shimmery red, but not an apple red, a deep blood red. It flared out at her tiny waist, and hit the ground in soft pleats. There was a sheer scarf that went with it. The shoes were little platforms, with straps around the ankles, dyed to match.
The May Queen's dress was also pretty amazing. Pale green and extremely sparkley,it had a deep v neckline, and a halter tie at the base of her neck. It was a straight shape, with a long slit. The shoes were matching in color, but they were stillettos.
Jewelry was tasteful, and thegirls delighted in the gifts. Cordy opened her purse, and pproduced a makeup kit, "I'll help you with your hair and makeup, if you'd like."
Willow smiled, "Thanks."
The girls went to work,while in the other room, Faith emerged from the bathroom in a nice gown. It had a tight fitting lavender bodice, and then a long tulle skirt, in corresponding colors. She had put her hair in clips, keeping the layers away from her face, with two little clips Angelus had bought for her. Cordelia's necklace hung around her neck. She was goregous.
Angelus was wearing one of his favorite silk tuxedos. His hair was gelled and touseled, in its usual style, but he looked charming just the same.
He tapped softly on the screen, "You girls ready?"
Willow called back, "Give us a second?"
"Of course."
The girls walked out a minute later, taking the breath away from Faith. Angelus, who had no breath to lose, would've lost his. In fact, his mind went blank at the sight of his charming Willow. She looked so grown up, and so mature.....nothing at all like the lively, fresh-as-spring, youthful spirit he first had grown to love. Now, there was this other side to her, and he certainly loved it.
Faith kissed Cordelia softly on the lips, "Wow, Cordy."
"Thanks," She blushed, taking her lover's hands in hers, and then saying, "You look pretty fine yourself."
Angelus flourished, grabbing Willow's waist, to pull her in close to him. She giggled happily, as he leaned in and whispered, "You look very sexy," Willow kissed him in reply, "I can't wait to get you out of this dress." he relished in the blushing that crossed her cheeks.
"Angel," Faith cleared the air, "let's go. Before dinner gets cold."
He nodded, and took Willow's hand, taking her out of the apartment, "Will you stay wime tonight?" He asked softly , once in the elevator. She looked up at him, eyes sparling in anticipation, "Please?"
Willow leaned on his chest, smiling, "You know I would."
The ballroom was gorgeous, and filled with people. The candles were lit on every table, food on a huge banquet table. Willow freaked, and looked up to Angelus, "What's this?"
"A party," He shrugged, "Giles, Buffy, Xander, and Wesley are in this mess somewhere. A few people from school, some friends of Cordy's. Giles inviiends from England down, as well."
"Wow," Cordy gasped, "This is great."
Willow nodded in astounding agreement, "Really."
Angel took Willow to their table, while Faith led her girl to their table. Willow smiled at her companion, "Why?" He blinked, not understanding her question, "Why the party?"
"To have an excuse to see you all dressed up."
"Oh."
He leaned in and whispered, "Do I need to tell you how hungry for you I am?" She blushed again, "And, that blushing isn't helping," He took her hand in his, and smiled seductively, "I am really holding back."
She smiled at him, whispering back, "Maybe I should make you hold back for a few more days."
He blinked, "Excuse me?"
"Just kidding," She grinned, "You think I'd make you wait?" He shrugged, "I might......" He clasped her hands, "Hey, now, chill, big guy. I don't think I could wait that long."
He relaxed a great deal. loer of his eye, he saw Giles and Buffy dancing. He pointed them out to Willow, "They're out dancing," She nodded, smiling fondly, "Would you like to dance?"
"Of course."
Cordy looked to the dance floor nervously, "I want to dance, Faith, but---"
Faith nodde understandable, "I know how you feel about gossip, and stuff," She shrugged, "I just thought that maybe you would."
"Faith, she touched her face gently, "I love you. Do you know that?" The Slayer nodded, "I want to dance, but," Faith was about to open her mouth again, but Cordy stopped her this time, "But, I'm not a good dancer."
The Slayer smiled, "C'mon. Just don't step on my feet."
Giles spoke into Buffy's ear, "Angelus and Willow are here. Next to us," Buffy lifted her head, and saw them, and then looked up at her lover's face, "I don't mind if you want to talk to them."
Buffy nodded, "Mind if I go dance with Angel for a minute?" He shook his head gently, not minding in the least. He used to be insecure in their relationship, but he now knew where they stood. Buffy walked to the duo dancing, Giles at her heels, "Mind if I take your man for a minute, Wills?"
She laughed," No, as long as I get to dance with yours."
Buffy fell into Angelus' arms, definately tense, "Hey."
"Hello," He spoke softly, carming her somewhat, "How are you?" She shrugged, "I haven't done anything wrong lately, you know?"
"Yeah," She smiled, "And Willow seems extremely happy. Thanks. For taking care of her."
He nodded, "My pleasure, Slayer. How is Tweed-man treating you?" She blushed, "Very good."
Buffy smiled, "Things did get weird, didn't they?" Angelus asked what she meant by that, and she explained, after thinking for a few seconds, "Well, Xander and Wesley can't just be friends. Faith and Cordy are kissing on the dance floor. Giles and I?! Weirdness. YOu and Willow, well, I kinda always assumed that you two would eventually hook up. But---"
"You didn't htink I'd lose my soul," Buffy nodded, "Well, things have changed."
"YOu're telling me. I'm dancing with my enemy. That's a switch."
He threw his head back and laughed. She giggled softly, still tense in his arms.
Across the way, Willow and Giles were talking about how Angelus was treating Willow. She had a hard time trying to explain to him that she was safe, "He loves me, Giles, he really does."
"Are you sure?" Willow nodded, "Willow, I only wish for your safety."
"And, I'm deeply touched," She smiled, "Bu, I'm safe. I'm living with Faith and Cordy right now, but, I'm sure things are going to change. Angelus isn't too happy about that."
Giles blushed, "I can imagine."
She immediately switched the topic, when she felt the air go cold, "How's you and Buffy?"
He continued to blush, "very good," He smiled, "In fact, I'm thinking about proposing to her."
"Really?!" She squeaked excitedly, "That's so wow! Wow, Giles! I'm so happy for you," He smiled at her, "Seriously. This is so great."
"Thank you, WIllow."
End Part 6
ANgelus held Willow's tiny hand in his most of the night, not wanting to let go of his goddess. She knew how he felt, and didn't mind, he made her feel so special. There was something about the way he looked at her, and she could feel the demon shrink back, and let Angelus, the person, be with her. He was losing his visciousness, contrary to what Giles believed.
<<I love him.>>
The vampire swooped her up in his strong arms, "How are you enjoying this?"
She laughed, "It's great. Really. I never knew you knew how to throw a ball."
He cocked an eyebrow, "One of my many talents."
Willow shuddered against his body. <<Talents. Oh.>> She quickly changed the subject, trying to remain modest, "Faith and Cordy seem to have come out as a couple."
He nodded, "Have we?"
She slapped him playfully, "You know what I mean," She sighed, "You gotta be brave to do that. I don't think I could. Luckily," She smiled affectionately, "I'm with you."
He whispered in her ear, "As I recall though, you did pretty well with Faith and Cordy that night. You didn't seem to care then."
"That's different," She hissed, clearly embarrassed, "Very different."
"Point?"
"My point is," She was very frustrated with him at this point, "I couldn't come out like that. As part of a couple so publicly, not caring about what others think."
He smirked, and she gasped, as he produced a small box, "Ladies and Gentlemen!" He called out, his voice booming, "I have something to ask this gorgeous girl!" The crowd gathered around the vampire and blushing beauty. he got down on bended knee. Willow cried out, gasping in surprise. He took her hand with one of his own, and offered her the beautiful antique engagement ring with his other, "Willow Rosenburg, will you marry me?"
Willow gasped again. She looked to the crowd, seeing Buffy's smiling eyes, and Faith's dark happy ones. Even Giles nodded a sort of approval. She looked back up at him, and smiled, "Get off the ground," He stood up, close to her, the ring still in the box, "And, please put that on my finger."
The crowd cheered, and then, the duo decided to leave, upon Angelus' urging, "I have another surprise for you, at my place."
On the way out, Faith and Cordelia stopped them, "Hey," faith smiled, "Smooth move, Angel."
Cordy nodded, giggling, "I can't believe it. I'm happy for you, Will."
"Thanks," She smiled, "It's going to be hard to leave him behind in the fall."
Angelus chuckled, "Girls, she thinks she's going to get rid of me."
Faith teased, "You never know, that Willow is pretty slick."
"Oh," He made her blush, "I know she is...in fact, she probably is right now."
She slapped his arm playfully, "Stop that!" They all laughed heartily, and then they split up, Slayer and Fashion Plate heading back into the party, while Vampire and Hacker left for solitude.
