Buffy was in a good mood when she arrived at school. She had already visited Willow who was being released in the afternoon and Angel had promised he’s be at The Bronze that night. So far it was turning out to be a good day.
Giles and Nikki were already in the library when she turned up. Books were thrown all over the place. Nikki sat at Willow’s usual place on front of the computer terminal while Giles stood looking over her shoulder.
They both looked up when Buffy came in.
“Good morning”, she said cheerfully as she sat down opposite them.
“You’re in a good mood this morning”, Giles commented.
“Yes. I am. Willow’s coming home this afternoon”, she grabbed a book and began flipping through the pages, not really paying attention to what she was looking at “so any news on our good friend Spike”.
“Well not so far, it’s seems that Spike’s attack on Willow and his visit to the hospital was just normal vampire hi-jinx”, Giles removed his glasses and began cleaning them.
“Well, that’s good”, Buffy said. “Well, not good but good in the way that there’s no big apocalypse to avert”.
“Yes, quite”, Giles smiled. “But I’ll keep researching just in case”.
“And we’ll go and meet the others”, Buffy jumped up and smiled at Giles before the two girls left the library.
Giles sat down and tried to read the book that lay in front of him. He read the same line five times before he gave up on it completely.
He couldn’t get the dream he’d had last night out of his mind. And to make it worse he kept feeling of her soft lips against his cheek.
Stop it Giles, he told himself, you are over twice her age and it’s time to get these silly ideas out of your head. He’d been feeling lonely and upset ever since Jenny died and she’s been there to comfort him. It was as simple as that.
Giles stood up and walked towards his office and saw Nikki standing at the doors of the library. He wasn’t sure for a moment whether she was really there or whether he was dreaming again.
“I forget my jumper”, she said as she walked past Giles and grabbed her jumper. “You okay”, she gave his arm a gentle squeeze.
“Yes fine”, he pulled his arm away at her touch.
“Okay”, she looked a bit shocked at his response. “I’ll see you later then”.
“Yes”, Giles looked at her leaving. “Later”.
