Giles was in his room deciding what to pack, when a knock sounded at the door. He wondered who it could be, no one usually comes over except for Willow, and a couple of people from the Compound. He answered the door, standing there all sheepish was Dawn. 'Dawn I wasn't expecting you to come by, where's Willow?' Dawn's smile faded a little, 'Well, Willow is back at the Compound tutoring a student, I got kind of bored so she teleported me here.' 'I'm sorry dear forgive me, come in.' He gave her a hug he hasn't seen her in about four months. They walked back to his room; Dawn saw clothes and a suitcase on his bed. 'Going somewhere Giles?', she questioned. 'Actually, I'm going to visit with your sister, and meet my online companion later.' Dawn stood there in complete shock, 'You on a computer, let alone a chatroom, the world is coming to an end.' Giles started laughing, 'What I have one why not use it?' he joked back. 'Does Buffy know about your date later?' she asked. 'Yeah she does, she has a date tonight also.' 'Yeah, I know she wouldn't shut up about it.' Giles waited for her to make the connection. It finally Dawned on her (no pun intended). 'You are her online companion!' she exclaimed with a big smile.
He blushed, 'It's me but she does no know.' 'So what you are just going to surprise her?' Giles was exasperated, 'Yes, that is the point I know how she feels about me.' 'I know how she feels about you, she dreams about you every night.' Giles stood there perplexed he finished up his packing. 'I hate to rush this Dawn, but I have to go catch my flight. We will visit when I get back.' He gave her another hug and escorted her out. She looked back and said, 'I hope you can convince Buffy to move here. I like Rome, but I miss you more.' She smiled and walked away. Giles blushed, 'If things go the way I hope, I won't have to convince her.' He said behind her, but she didn't hear him. He went to the taxi to have it take him to the airport. 'Just a few minutes before I will be seeing Buffy', he thought.
Buffy was in a panic there was a crisis one that she couldn't face. She didn't know what to wear. 'I used to be so good at this', she thought. 'Giles will be there in about an hour about thirty minutes and I'm still not ready,' she said to her closet. After looking she finally decided on a pair of low rise jeans, and a black backless halter top. She looked at herself in the mirror, 'Not to slutty, just sexy.' She said to her reflection.
Giles sat on the plane nursing a scotch on the rocks. His stomach was in knots, he knew his online companion was Buffy. He has loved her from afar, and now his wish is coming true. Now he just had to act natural when she is around, he couldn't let her know that he was her mystery man. He can't wait to see the expression on her face when she sees it is him. He sat back and finished his scotch.
Buffy was going into sudden panic mode. 'Giles is coming here to visit me, he also has a date.' She was mumbling to herself. 'Well, I have a date also, which Giles knows I do.' She was pacing back and fourth in the kitchen trying to figure out what to fix for lunch. Looking in the cabinets and the refrigerator she decided on something. A light lunch of grilled salmon, vegetable skewers, and a light seafood pasta salad tossed in an Italian dressing, with a side of garlic bread and some wine.<No meal is complete without wine> she though. It was two on the dot when she finished up cooking, the doorbell rang. Her heart sped up, 'Giles was here behind that door, it's now or never', she thought. Getting herself together she answered the door.
Standing there in his breath taking glory was Giles. Buffy was taking in his apparel white shirt, some tight blue jeans, and that earring. She remembered that earring from the band candy incident. He looked mighty delectable, ready to eat. Giles was doing the same also, and he liked what he saw, she never looked so beautiful. Breaking out of his Buffy haze he said, 'Really Buffy, are you going to invite me in or just stand there ogling me?'
She snapped out of her revelry 'Sorry Giles come in,' she smiled. He stepped over the threshold and gave her a fierce hug. <Oh Buffy how I missed you so> he thought. <I could get used to this> thought Buffy. 'Okay Giles, oxygen becoming an issue here.' 'I'm sorry Buffy; it's just that I missed you terribly.' She noticed he didn't have any bags with him. 'Giles where is your bags?' she asked. 'Oh they are at the Hotel, I have a date tonight remember?' 'Oh yeah, do you know who or what she is? I mean she could be a demon or something.' She said, with just a little bit of venom to her voice. He grinned, <She is so jealous> he thought. He decided to have a little fun. 'Why Buffy are you jealous?' Buffy stopped what she was doing, 'No I am not jealous, I have a date of my own tonight.' He was prepared for that remark. Trying to change the subject, 'What smells so good?', he asked. Buffy smiled, 'Oh I made lunch for us, before we went out to the plaza.', she smiled. Being the gentleman he is he offered his help, but she turned him down and told him to sit down. She brought everything out and put it on the table. He was pleased with her culinary skills, she used to burn water. 'Well, here is lunch lets enjoy', she smiled.
They ate in relative silence, except when he would complement on her cooking. When they were finished they both cleaned up the kitchen, and then retired to living room. Buffy turned on the CD player. Inside was Selena, when she heard Dawn playing this CD she fell in love. Giles held out his hand in a silent invitation to dance.
I could lose my heart tonight
If you don't turn and walk away
'cause the way I feel I might lose control
And let you stay
He held her tight as he danced. To Buffy this felt so right, in his
arms is where she wanted to be.
Cause I could take you in my arms
And never let go
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
Buffy had already fallen in love with him, around prom. He looked so
good in his tux all suave and debonair looking. She wanted to dance
with him, but Angel came and screwed that up.
I could only wonder how
Touching you would make me feel
But if I took that chance right now
Tomorrow will you want me still (baby do you want me)
As Buffy looked up and he leaned down, he brought his lips to hers
for a kiss. Something they both had wanted for a long time. The best
things come to those who wait.
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
The kiss lasted for what seem like eternity. Neither one wanted it
to end until, oxygen was becoming a serious issue. Giles pulled back
first, 'Buffy I am so sorry I don't know what happened.' Buffy
looked concerned, 'There's nothing to apologize for I wanted it
too.' He smiled and they continued to dance.
I could only fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
And I know it's not right,
And I guess I should try to do what I should do
But, I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you.
As the song continued on, without words Buffy lead him to her
bedroom. In there they made complete and passionate love to each
other until they fell into an exhausted sleep.
