I don't own them, Joss Whedon and Co. does.
summary: Buffy's POV on she and Xanders 10th anniversary. More shameless Buffy/Xander mush. Part of the No Regrets series of fic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffy spritzed the perfume on her neck and wrists and took one last look in the mirror. Today was Buffy and Xander's tenth anniversary, her mom had the children for the night. She and Xander were going out. Ten years, unbelievable, but here they were.
She watched as Xander emerged from his shower and began to dress for dinner. He was so sweet, this man that she loved. "You look beautiful" he told her as he kissed her cheek. When he said it, she believed it, even after three children, he still thought she was beautiful.
They went to dinner at a very nice restaurant. She had to smile as he took her hand in his and walked across the parking lot. And once inside, she felt the light touch of his hand on the small of her back guiding her to their table. He did that all the time, he made these small gestures that made her feel loved and protected, without feeling helpless. And the way he looked at her across the table as they ate dinner, well, it could still make her melt. Other women she knew complained that after a few years their husbands took them for granted. Not Xander, he never ceased to amaze her, he always let her know that he considered himself lucky to have her in his life. While, she laughed to herself, she knew that she was the lucky one. Not many men would have accepted her, with her colorful past. But Xander knew her whole past, and loved her anyway, he always had.
They finished dinner rather quickly. "Are you ready, already?" he asked smiling.
"Yes, I'm ready to go home. No children tonight, think of mischief we could get into" she told him with a giggle.
He paid the check and they went home. "Lock up and I'll be waiting for you upstairs." She said seductively.
She didn't have to tell him twice. She was waiting in the bed for him. He quickly joined her there. "Happy Anniversary" he told her as he drew her near to him and kissed her gently.
"Happy Anniversary to you" She smiled and returned the kiss making it deeper. They were soon lost in each others embrace, so good, so comfortable, yet also passionate. Two people who loved each other with a strong devotion and need for each other.
"I Love you" he told her as she fell asleep in his arms.
Buffy woke up to find Xander staring at her. "What are you doing?" she asked him.
"Watching my gorgeous wife sleep" he had answered sincerely.
"You okay?" she asked him, he had such a strange happy look on his face.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I love you Buffy Anne Harris" he told her.
"I love you too" she told him. Then looking at the one she loved, who made her world complete she had to ask "Are you ready to do some more celebrating?"
"I'm always ready to celebrate with you" he had answered.
And they had celebrated late into the night. This time Xander fell asleep first, Buffy brushed the hair out of his eyes and curled up next to the one she loved.
