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.

The end…..
