Buffy was as giddy as a gopher when she came home from work. Life was good, her martial arts academy was doing very well, Dawn is doing excellent in school. She even has a job at one of the local boutiques. They may only see each other in passing, but do have dinner whenever time warrants. Then there is her mystery guy. They have been chatting for the past two weeks, it is funny how much they have in common. He seems like a familiar,but not really. She had been so happy Dawn thought she was doing drugs. Until she told her of her online friend, she just rolled her eyes and said, 'Let's hope he is not another demon.' Even though she has never met him, he has been playing lead in all of her dreams. She still missed Giles though, all she wanted to do was pick up the phone and tell him how much she loved him, wanted him, and needed him.

Giles was in his office thinking about the last two weeks. Ever since his online encounters he felt lighter, down right happy. His mind drifted to Buffy, how he wants to hold her and never ler her go. Sexkitten sounded so much like her, maybe it was just his imagination, but what if it was? Would she be disgusted? Would she freak if it was him? He would never know. Taking a chance that she would be online he IM'd her.

TenderlyRipped: Hey kitten are you there?

Sexkitten69: yes, I'm here I was just emailing my best friend.

TenderlyRipped: hmm, how was your day?

Sexkitten69: tiring, martial arts is very exhausting, but it keeps me in shape. How was your day?

Giles thought for a minute, martial arts? Buffy is a martial arts instructor, maybe it is her. Then again it could be someone taking her class.

TenderlyRipped: not as exciting as your day. But quite boring

Sexkitten69: sounds like you had a bad time. Then again being head person of an elite company of people is kind of boring. How is the weather in Merry Old?

TenderlyRipped: We had a spot of sun today. It was actually quite lovely,but then came the rain clouds

Sexkitten69: Last time I was there it rained non stop. There was no sun in sight. I guess I am a California girl through and through.

TenderlyRipped: you are from California? You never told me that.

Sexkitten69: I thought I did. But yeah, I am from California born and raised.

Giles sat looking at the screen. California, so she was from California. He thought about it for a moment, 'Nah it's a coincidence it might be someone else.'

Sexkitten69: Are you there?

TenderlyRipped: yes, I was distracted by a collegue

Sexkitten69: have you ever been to Rome?

TenderlyRipped: yeah, about four months ago I was visiting with a collegue and her sister.

Buffy thought for a minute, Giles was here four months ago. Could this be him? He wouldn't be caught dead near a computer, let alone in a chatroom, and or IM. It is just wishful thinking on her part.

Sexkitten69: So it was a female collegue. How long have you known her? Is she someone special?

TenderlyRipped: I have known her for a long time. and she is someone quite special I think they broke the mold when they made her

Sexkitten69: sounds like you loved her, and she didn't know

TenderlyRipped: i still do love her, she doesn't know. She never saw me as a man. Is there someone special for you?

Sexkitten69: I had a string of bad relationships. My first relationship was doomed from the start. He left me. The second one was an asshole within himself, never heard from him again. There is a whole lot more, but this last one had to go. He was too possesive.

Buffy was lost in thought with her past loves of her life. Angel he was tall, dark, handsome, and a little broody. She was young and didn't know any better. He left her for her own good. Stupid ass!! Then there was Parker, he was a no good lying son of a bitch, and a lousy lay. Riley he couldn't stand the fact that she was stronger than him. He wanted a weakling for a girlfriend. Now he is in South America with his new wife. Spike, she wasn't even going to go there. Then the Immortal, the sex was good, but didn't have anything in common. Her love life sucked beyond the telling of it!!!

Giles was put off at the fact that they would treat her so badly. She seems like a nice girl with a big heart. Who would want to treat someone like her like yesterdays trash?

TenderlyRipped: well, they are all wankers!! You should be treated and worshipped like a goddess. You can do so much better.

Buffy sat there misty eyed, no one has ever approached her like that. He is in deed the perfect guy. He is no Giles, but it's better than being lonely.

Sexkitten69: That is so sweet. How could you be single? You should be taken.

TenderlyRipped: If that was the case then I wouldn't be up here chatting with you.

Sexkitten69: I feel so special now, i'm blushng.

Giles was enamoured with her. Even though he never met her, she seems like someone who has a thirst for life, and full of love. He wanted to get to know her better, possibly even meet her. Then again it would be to forward. He thought about what Buffy said, 'Life is short, you could die tomorrow.' With that in mind he was going to meet her.

TenderlyRipped: I am new to this, but would you like to meet me sometime?

Buffy was in shock, he wanted to meet her. Her of all people, this was something new to her. She never met anyone offline and in person. What if he is a serial killer, or a stalker. Then again she needed to take a chance. This could be the opportunity of a lifetime.

Sexkitten69: that would be lovely, just name the time or place.

TenderlyRipped: If it is not too soon, how about Saturday arond 8 at the Trevi fountain?

Sexkitten69: wonderful, I will be there. How would I know what to look for?

TenderlyRipped: I will be there with a bouquet of white daisies.

Sexkitten69: Daisies are my favortie flowers. I will have on a red dress with a rose in my hair. I will see you then.

TenderlyRipped: Okay, I will see you then

They logged off the computer. Both lost in deep thought about their meeting on Saturday. Would they like each other? Would they get along, or have anything exciting to talk about? They would never know until then.
