Chapter 9

William and Buffy exited the theatre, William stretching out the kinks he�d developed from sitting so rigidly in his seat. He�d sure bollixed that up. He glanced over towards the gind fnd found her much closer than he�d anticipated; she was mere inches from him, gazing up at him with wide, expectant eyes. William blushed and ducked his head to hide the hue. Risking another glance at his date, he gave her a tiny smile.

�Uh�would you like to go for ice cream? I know a great place right down the street�we could walk and then call your mum from there��

The request had barely left his lips when Buffy�s face erupted into a grin and she linked her arm in his.

�Lead the way.�

She was touching his arm. William clenched the lining of his jacket pocket, trying to remove the sudden moisture that had sprung up on his palms. She was touching him. He moved in the direction of the ice cream store, stumbling twice when he forgot to watch where he was going. Neither the grin plastered on Buffy�s face nor the fierce grip on his arm disappeared.

Once inside, they ordered and sat in a booth near the window. William watched in awe as his tiny blonde date inhaled a chocolate mess that was supposed to be ice cream, the whole while chattering on about conditioner and shoes and�cheese?

William�s trance-like fascination was drawn away from Buffy by a strange clinking noise. Glancing down, he discovered his spoon scraping absently against his empty bowl. Apparently he�d finished his ice cream but, strangely enough, he couldn�t remember what flavor it�d been. He glanced back up at the girl, who was trying to retrieve a drip of chocolate from her chin, glistening pink tongue darting out and lapping at the offending smudge.

About then she glanced up and caught his gaze, a blush creeping up her neck and hazel eyes widening in horror as she realized what her date had just witnessed. She squeaked and hid her face in her hands. William felt an odd tenderness strike him in the chest as he reached for a clean napkin and gently pried Buffy�s hands away from her face. He cupped her cheek with one hand, the other gently dabbing at the sticky substance. The napkin slipped from his hand and he rubbed over the clean spot with his thumb.

Her skin was so soft.

His gaze locked with Buffy�s and, for a moment, William was sure his heart ceased to beat. Glancing down, he noticed his thumb had moved and was now gliding over his date�s sparkling raspberry glossed lip. He felt, rather than saw, the blonde girl pull in a hitching breath as she leaned forward ever so slightly.

He wanted to kiss her.

He swallowed convulsively, desperate to wet his suddenly parched lips. Exerting the barest sliver of pressure to pull Buffy towards him, he moved to meet her, then stopped, his lips not even an inch from hers.

He�d tasted it. Underneath the popcorn and soda, underneath the ice cream � which he�d just remembered had been strawberry vanilla ripple � even underneath the breath mints he�d gorged himself on hours ago, he�d tasted his first kiss. There, lingering beneath everything was the stale taste of brandy and hangover-breath.

He couldn�t kiss her like this.

He pulled away abruptly and forced a small chuckle.

�At least you didn�t throw popcorn on everyone.� He risked a glance in her direction and watched as her shocked expression dissolved into a fit of giggles. Their laughter drew the attention of everyone in the shop.

�I suppose I should call my mom now. It�s�� Buffy�s gasp drew his attention to the window, where�it was dark. Decidedly dark.

Wheeling around in his chair, William looked at the clock hanging above the cash register. He was nearly two hours late.

Mrs. Summers was kind enough to offer William a ride home, which he accepted gratefully. The drive home was a disaster, since William was too preoccupied with his tardiness to pay attention to his date, who tried unsuccessfully to hold his hand. When they pulled into the drive, William, once again, offered his thanks to Buffy�s mother, and smiled apologetically to Buffy, but received only a cold shoulder for his effort. For some reason, he found he couldn�t really blame her.

After the Summers� vehicle pulled away and was headed down the road, he darted inside and up the stairs into the master suite, unbuttoning his shirt as he closed and locked the door behind him. Shrugging his shirt off, he noticed his father seated on the bed, rifling through a cardboard box full of items. He leaned forward to get a better view, unbuckling his belt and trousers and toeing off his shoes and socks before sinking to his knees.

�Daddy, I�m sorry for being so late. I just lost track of time and I�m sorry and it won�t happen again and I�d very much like to apologize now, if you�d like.� William waited, silent and still, for the older man�s verdict.

�Get out.�

�Daddy?�

�I said, get out. Go to bed. NOW.� The edge in his father�s voice sent William scrambling for his clothes and out the door.

Once in his room, he heaved a sigh of relief; for whatever reason, he�d been spared his nightly duties. ppinpping on a pair of shorts, William fell into his bed, almost content.

He had almost dozed off when he heard the click of the doorknob and a figure entered the room. He slid over as a warm body slipped into the bed and snuggled up against his own frame.

�So, how was your date?�
