Forever, Always, and Then Some

Chapter 27

 

Buffy walks up to the bench and throws her leg over and sits down. Angel sits down facing her their knees touching.

Angel: Are you two warm enough?

Buffy: We are fine. I just love being alone with both of you.

She leans in for a kiss. He tries to pull her closer. Then he reaches down and grabs both her knees and lifts them up over his so he can pull her even closer. The kiss continues for awhile.

Angel: Is Conner okay?

Buffy: He is fine, asleep.

They start kissing again and Buffy runs her hands under his coat and around his back. He runs his hands through her hair. The kiss gets more passionate. Buffy runs her hands up under his shirt onto his back her hands caressing his bare skin. He pulls her even closer. Her hands continue to run over his torso. He grabs her and lifts her up onto his lap, being careful no to squash his young son. She moves her hips slightly and he pulls back.

Angel: Buffy what are you doing? This is wrong. If we were not right here in public, I think this could really get out of hand. (he looks in her eyes) Hmmmm….that is why we are in public. This was your plan?

Buffy: I have no idea what you are talking about.

She moves into for another kiss.

Angel: Buffy stop.

Buffy: No, I don’t want to. I want to taste you, I want to feel you, I want to love you.

Angel: We can’t. I can’t.

She runs her hands up his back and tries to pull him back toward her.

Angel: I said no.

Buffy: Kiss me now or sleep alone. You got your fun last night now I want mine.

Angel: Buffy.

She gives him a look and he grabs her and resumes the kiss. The kiss continues with Buffy getting more aggressive and Angel trying to remain in control. Her hands roam over his torso as if she is addicted to the feel of his skin. When her fingers explore skin at his waist band he has enough and pulls back, lifts her up and sets her onto the bench. He gets up.

Angel: That is it. I am going home, now. Coming.

Buffy: Looks like you are Mr. Level Head tonight.

Angel: Well it definitely isn’t you. I never knew you could be so cruel.

Buffy: Cruel? You think I am cruel?

Angel: Maybe not the best word, but damn it I want you so bad and can’t have you and you are leading us into forbidden territory. It’s not fair.

Buffy: I am sorry honey but I needed to feel, feel you. And what makes tonight any less fair than last night?

Angel: Last night I was trying to please you. Make you feel pleasure. Feel loved.

Buffy: Well that was what I was doing tonight. Making me feel pleasure too. (she smiles)

Angel: And me?

Buffy: Don’t tell me you felt no pleasure. You seemed plenty pleased.

Angel: Oh yeah. Pleased? I am thinking a better word is horny.

Buffy: Ouch.

Angel: Buffy, what’s wrong.

Buffy: Your son is the next Pelé.

Angel: Is he waking up?

Buffy: Yes, I guess that is our signal to go home. (she turns to leave)

Angel: Buffy, wait a second.

Buffy: What? I think we are better off leaving this conversation behind us.

Angel: I agree but not until I tell you I love you.

Buffy: I love you too, you know that. Now lets go home and enjoy the rest of our night with our son.

They walk back to the hotel. They arrive at the front of the building, they hear a voice from the shadows.

Dru: Daddy, I have been waiting for you.

Angel: Druscilla. Buffy get inside. Get Conner inside.

Buffy hurries inside with the baby. Dru moves up into his face.

Angel: What are you doing here, Druscilla? I will have to kill you if you do not stay away from me or my family.

Dru: Family? You killed my family, why shouldn’t I kill yours.

Angel: Dru, leave now.

Dru: Or what you will do to me, what you did to grandmum. You killed grandmum. I know it was you.

Angel: I did not kill Darla, she did it herself.

Dru: Grandmum would never…..no you are not lying.

Buffy comes back out having left Conner with Fred in her room.

Buffy: Angel, is everything okay.

Angel: Buffy I said get inside.

Dru: You still love her, my boys all love her. Why?

Angel: Dru, this is your last warning, leave.

Buffy walks up and hands him a stake.

Dru: I will return. (she leaves)

Buffy: Why did you let her leave?

Angel: I just can’t.

Buffy: Still feeling the quilt. When will you forgive yourself?

Angel: Someday, I hope someday.

Buffy: Want me to…

Angel: It must be me. I must end it. Unless….

Buffy: I have no choice.

Angel: Uh huh.

They go inside.

Angel: Is Conner in our room?

Buffy: Safe with Fred. Lets go upstairs.

Later in their room.

Buffy: Works better than a cold shower.

Angel: What?

Buffy: Having your former demon lover show up.

Angel: Oh yeah, kinda breaks a mood.

Buffy: Lets get some sleep.

As they lie in bed.

Buffy: Think you will be dreaming tonight?

Angel: Are you planning on visiting?

Buffy: If it is okay.

Angel: Fine but I want no smart comments in the morning.

Buffy: No smart comments? How about dumb ones?

Angel: That would be normal.

Buffy: You slay me.

Angel: Never.
