Perfect Moments

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  They belong to 20th Century Fox, Joss Whedon, and Mutant Enemy.  I am using them without permission, however I am not making any money off them so please do not sue me.

Author's Notes: This is a sequel to Just the Beginning and A Little Bit Closer.  I’ve decided that this will be a short series.  Approximately five parts, I won’t have it go on indefinitely.  I have a very direct story I want to tell and it will take a few stories to do so.  In this story I explain about Sandra, also Buffy and Angel make love for the first time.  This is how it should have been in Surprise, how it would have been if Joss wasn't so mean.  Also, I know the Sandra story is similar to what happened to Buffy in The Harsh Light of Day.  I just watched that ep, so it’s still fresh in my mind. But in this world Parker doesn’t exist, it’s just Buffy and Angel. Enjoy.

Buffy opened the door to Angel’s apartment.  It had been a week since she had last seen him, they had both been busy, and she missed him.  She realised he wasn’t home.

Damn, she had really wanted to see him.  She decided to wait for him, he couldn't be too long.  She lay down onto the bed and closed her eyes.

Angel would be here soon and she’d be waiting for him.

Angel was surprised to find his apartment unlocked.

*I must have forgotten to lock it this morning.* He thought as he walked into his apartment.

He had had a very long day at the office.  He thought he’d never escape, and he knew he was neglecting Buffy.  He promised himself that he’d make it up to her that weekend.

He walked into his bedroom and was shocked to find her laying on his bed.  He gently kissed her.

“Hey.” She said, her arms going around his neck.  She pulled him close to her.

“How long have you been here?” He asked softly.

“What time is it?”

“11.”

“6 hours.” She said sleepily.

“You waited for 6 hours?” He asked in amazement.

She nodded. “I wanted to see you.”

She kissed him again, and after it grew passionate.  He was on top of her and things were definitely headed in a new direction.  She slid his jacket off.

“Buffy, your 16.” He said, trying to keep his calm.  He had to be sure that she was ready.

“I’ll be 17 in 2 months.” She said with a smile.  “I love you Angel, and I want to be with you.”

“I love you too.” He said, kissing her softly.

The kiss grew and they stopped talking.  This was their big moment, they were finally ready to go to the next level.

Afterwards they lay entwined, just basking in the glow of each other.

“I love you.” She told him, her head laying on his chest.

“I love you.” he told her as he kissed her hair.

He had never felt so at peace in his life, so happy.  He loved this girl with his entire heart and he knew she loved him.  He also knew it was time to tell his about Sandra.

“Buffy, we have to talk?”

“About what?” She asked, concerned about his tone of voice.

“About Sandra, you have a right to know.” Buffy didn’t say anything, so Angel rolled over so that he was facing her and began his story.  “I was 15, Dru and I had been dating for a few months at that point.  One night a friend dared me to try and sneak into a bar.  I did and I got in.  I met Sandra there, she worked there.  She was going on 30, and feeling bad about herself. She hit on me and I gave in.  We went to her apartment and had sex, the next morning she acted like it had never happened.  I was a toy to prove that she wasn't getting old, to impress her friends.  It meant nothing to her, and worst of all it hurt Drusilla.  I had to tell her and when I did she couldn’t forgive me.  It took her almost a year to forgive me.  I screwed up big time.”

“Wow.  Did you ever see her again?”

“No, and I don’t want to.” Angel said, Buffy nodded.

“I understand.” She said softly, she really did.

She also understood why Angel had wanted her to wait so long.  He wanted to make sure it was something she wouldn’t regret, and she never would.  She loved him too much.

It had been what she always dreamed of because it was Angel, that alone had made it perfect.

“I love you.” He said again, she cuddled up to him.

“I love you.” She told him and then she kissed him.

She knew that she was the slayer and that perfect moments didn’t come along all the time.  So she would grab them while she could and this was definitely one of them.

Her first night with Angel.

THE END
