It was Christmas Eve and Buffy was alone she had moved to Italy about a year

ago and had a job as a real estate agent.

IT had been a long time since Buffy had thought about him she stared at the

fireplace, it reminded her of him, his beautiful face his firm body, she

sighed and sat down on the coach she stared at the phone, she had messages;

she placed her work clothes on the chair and pressed the button.

“ Hey Buffy , Its me Will, remember, I uh wanted to know if you would like

to join me and Oz and everyone for dinner next week, we will even come

there, Please call us back.”

Buffy smiled Willow and Oz had found each other again about a year ago, she

was in England and Oz was there and sparks flew, she was glad that Willow

and him had got back together they were meant to be together.

Angel hurried through the plane line getting the closest seat to the back

not near the window. He smiled when he thought about her; he had not seen her

since before sunny dale had disappeared.

He looked at the box in his hand and placed it in his pocket, he would be in

Italy in about two hours from what he had heard she was still single, and

from what Willow said very lonely, his heart sank at the thought of her

being unhappy. The flight attendant came out and announced their departure.

Buffy got up and went to the kitchen she finished the last of her baking and

put the cookies in the oven. It was 5 pm they would be ready in an a half.

She grabbed some wine, poured herself a glass, and entered the living room

she turned on the TV and grabbed a blanket. She sighed it was Christmas Eve

and she was alone…;

Willow dialled the number and Buffy picked up after the third ring.” Hello”

Buffy whispered.

“Buffy Hi, Merry Christmas.” Buffy smiled and grabbed her wine taking a sip

out of it.

“Willow, hey, How are you.” She asked. She could hear Willow sigh at her

tone.

“Good, we just finished eating dinner, Giles and Xander came over even

Dawn.”

Dawn god, she had not spoke to her in a while since Dawn and she had into

a fight about going to see her dad, she frowned at the memory.

“Buffy you there.” Willow asked.” Uh ya sorry, how are Dawn?” Buffy asked

quietly.

“She’s good, misses you, she got into Yale.” “Yale oh my, wow, when.” They

spoke another hour telling each other everything they finished there

conversation and Buffy hung up.

The dinger went off and she entered the kitchen opening the oven and placing

the cookies on the counter.

She went into the living room and grabbed all the presents she had bought

for everyone and placed them under the tree, she noticed a small box and

tears formed her eyes, it was her present to Angel that she had got last

year, she had packed and left for LA to find him at home with another.

The tears formed her eyes and they fell lightly on the ground.

The plane landed in Italy and Angel stretched, he was not use to getting

cramped up. He made his way through the terminal and found a gab grabbing it

instantly.

“1564 Gothic Road please” The cab driver nodded and drove off. It was so

beautiful at Christmas for Italy Angel remembered when he was Angelus he

had a blast lots of many things to do. THe cab pulled up and His heart

sank, he wished hoped she did not have anyone. He paid the cab and stepped

out side, her house was blue with white and it had a small driveway. He got

to the door and paused his heart started to beat faster and his legs became

weak, what if she did not want him.

He knocked, waiting for her.

BBuffy looked to the clock then to the door.” who could that be.” She wiped

her hands off on her apron and opened the door.

She opened the door and her mouth dropped. “Angel” She breathed and he smiled

lightly.” Buffy” They could say each other’s name like that forever and it

would always be the same.

She was still beautiful her face had changed a little, but to him for the

better more grown up, he smiled at her and placed his hand on her face

caressing it gently.

“Hi” He said in a husky voice, her legs became weak, and she fell on him.

“Uh sorry, I…” he laughed and so did she.

“Please come in” she smiled shyly and opened the door letting him in.

He gazed around her room, it was bright and had lots of photo’s of her and

her friends , he recognized one it was her and him at prom , he smiled and

looked at her.

She entered the kitchen and turned to him.” I um don’t have blood, but I

have coffee and wine.” She said, opening the fridge. He smiled she was still

his Buffy.

“That’s okay, wine is fine.” She smiled and poured him a glass and followed

him to the couch.

They sat in silence for awhile and then she looked to him.” How are you?

Is everything Okay, do you need me to…” He put his finger on her lips and

inched closer to her, taking all the space away.

“No, I just, missed you and I thought that we could, um spend Christmas

together.” He moved closer to her intensely staring at her.

She looked to the ground and then to the window.” I thought you were happy,

I seen you were.” Angel stared at her and grabbed her face pulling it to

him.” Happy? Seen me when?”

Tears formed her eyes and she tried to hold them back but they started to

fall.” I came there last fall and I saw you with someone… Kissing

someone. I thought you were happy… in love.

Angel gasped and placed his hand to hers entwining their fingers together.”

OH god, Buffy that was Nina I helped her and it kind of got heated, but, no,

my god you really think I forgot about you.”

She nodded and brushed her tears away she stood and walked to the fireplace

and poked at the fire.

“ Oh I just thought that…” she choked and Angel rushed to her crushing his

lips to her kissing her fireclay, she obliged and opened her mouth to

him, they kissed for what it seemed to be hours, not breathing or stopping.

They finally broke away and she blushed.” I uh, wow.” he smiled “Ya, wow."

They sat back down and she took a sip of her wine, he watched her intensely.

“Buffy I um got you a present.” He opened his jacket pulling out a blue

velvet box.” please open it.”

She stared at it for minutes and gently opened it, there was another box

inside and he grabbed her hand and placed his finger on it.

He stood and kneeled in front of her.

“Buffy, I know we haven’t seen each other or spoke in a long time, but.” He

opened the box and a ring fell out.

“I love you Buffy, I always have, I tried to forget you but I couldn’t

You’re my soul mate and I am yours… will you marry Me.” he asked

She stared at the diamond ring and tears flooded her eyes, she jumped up

Instantly pulling him with her.

“Oh yes, angel, god yes.” they kissed passionately and she hugged him

tightly.

He looked into her green orbs and they flickered with happiness.

“Angel.” she whispered. “Yes Buffy.” He said, pulling her with him to the

couch placing her on his lap.

“Thank you.” He looked at her confused and brushed a hair out of her face.

“For what love.” She smiled and a tear fell from her eye.

“For the best Christmas ever.
