Buffy woke up the next morning and smiled. Sunlight spilled through the room and the smell of fresh flowers hung lightly in the air. She sat up and stretched, yawning as she did. Cordelia and Willow were still fast asleep, curled up underneath their comforters. Buffy slid out of her bed and pulled a sweater over her light blue tank top, hoping that she didn’t have bed hair. A quick glance into the mirror confirmed that she did.
“Morning,” Willow whispered. Buffy flashed her friend a quick smile as she brushed her hair and pulled it into a ponytail.
“Sleep well?” Buffy whispered back.
“Yeah. I think I might actually sleep a little more.”
“Okay. I’ll be around trying to figure out our AP homework,” Buffy laughed. Willow smiled and burrowed back under the covers as Buffy padded out of the room.
She wandered down the hallway, casting a glance at Angel’s door. It was closed and there was no light coming from the crack underneath. She sighed and found her way to the music room. There was a baby grand piano in one corner with shelves of music lining the opposite wall. Light from the bay window was begging to bet let in. Buffy pulled open the curtains and light filled the room.
“Two roads diverged...what does this mean and how does it relate to me?” Buffy muttered. She sat down at the piano and started softly playing a sweet slow concert piece that she’d had memorized for years.
“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,” she recited, letting the music flow from her finger tips without really thinking.
“And I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference,” Angel’s voice finished. Buffy jumped and the music stopped. Angel was leaning against the door frame, a slight smile playing on his lips.
“You know it?” Buffy asked, relaxing slightly.
“Yeah, it’s one of my favorites. I’m a big Frost fan. What’s that you were playing?” Angel asked, moving farther into the room.
“I don’t know the name, it’s something my dad used to play,” Buffy shrugged. Angel sat down on the bench next to Buffy and looked at her.
“Play it again?” He asked. Buffy blushed and started playing again.
“So, how do you like Uncle Giles?” Buffy whispered.
“As a man or as my stepdad?” Angel whispered back playfully, scooting slightly closer to her.
“Both.”
“He’s a great guy, and he makes my mom happy, that’s about all there is too it,” Angel shrugged. Buffy looked at him and smiled.
Angel’s eyes searched hers as he leaned in slowly. Buffy’s heart skipped a beat and she raised her chin, ever so slightly. Angel took that as his okay. His lips met Buffy’s and her eyes fluttered shut. A blissful look crossed her face as she reveled in the sheer ecstacy that one man’s lips could bring her. They were warm and soft as they gently pressed against her own. Buffy’s hands left the piano keys and entwined in Angel’s hair, scratching softly. His mouth opened and his tongue urged her lips apart. She readily obliged, letting it explore her mouth as her did the same. Angel’s hands reached around and rested on her lower back, sending shock waves up and down Buffy’s spine.
Buffy heard footsteps coming down the stairs and she pulled away, embarrassed that Willow or Cordelia would see her making out with her godfather’s stepson. A pained look crossed Angel’s eyes, but he quickly laughed at the expression on her face.
“What?” she asked harshly.
“Noting. You’re just possibly the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen,” he smirked. Buffy relaxed.
“Breakfast is probably almost ready. What are your plans for the day?” Angel asked, standing up and away from her.
“I’m not sure. I think we were gonna go shopping,” Buffy explained.
“Okay. Meet me in the top room after dinner? I’m having dinner with some friends, but I’ll be up there at eight,” Angel promised.
“Sure,” Buffy nodded. Inside she screamed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That afternoon, Buffy, Willow, and Cordelia went shopping. Buffy hadn’t told them about her kiss with Angel yet, but she was biding her time.
“So...Angel kissed me this morning,” she said casually as the three of them were trying on bathing suits.
“WHAT?!” Cordelia and Willow shouted in unison. Buffy winced.
“While I was playing, he came in. We started talking...and he kissed me. I’m meeting him in the top room tonight,” Buffy sighed blissfully. She looked at herself in the mirror. The black and gold halter style bikini looked hot, she had to admit. Possibly the perfect thing to wear while making out with Angel.
“Buffy! We’re so excited. Ohmigosh, we have to go get you ready!” Cordelia shouted. They decided that Buffy had to buy the black suit, paid, and left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buffy was nervous as she climbed the stairs to the top room. Her hair was piled in a messy bun, high on her head, and she was wearing jeans and a black button up sweater over her suit. It was already five after eight, so she hoped Angel was already there. He was. Steam rose from the hot water boiling in the hot tub and candles were scattered about. Soft classical music was playing over a stereo built into the wall. Angel stood by one glass wall, looking out over the city.
“Hey,” Buffy said quietly.
“Hey. I was afraid you’d changed your mind,” Angel said, smiling softly.
“Nope. I’m here.” Buffy looked at the floor, uncertain about how to act for the first time in her life. Boys never presented this problem. Never.
“Shall we?” Angel asked, gesturing to the hot tub. Buffy nodded and watched as Angel shed his shirt. His stomach stretched across his rock solid abs. Buffy waited until he had climbed into the tub before shedding her own clothes. She felt Angel looking over her as she stepped gingerly into the hot water.
“Wait, before we...do anything, I need to ask you, just so I can prepare myself...is this just a winter fling? Or is this going to be more?” Angel asked, his dark eyes brooding.
“I’m not sure. I don’t want it to be just a winter fling,” Buffy shrugged. Angel smiled at that and wrapped his arms around Buffy. She let her head fall back as Angel rained kisses down her neck. The walls started to steam up and Buffy was glad. She didn’t like the fish bowl effect when she was making out with a guy for the first time. She groaned as Angel finally met her lips. She was in heaven.
