Chapter 4:
Falling in Love

Buffy and Angel
sat beneath a gigantic oak tree beside her mother's grave, her head
laying on his shoulder, her hand laced in his. Even thought they
were not together anymore, she still cared for Angel. He had been
her first love, and he had taken her virginity even if it had
turned him into a heartless monster. Those feelings were kind of
hard to forget. She looked up at the stars, wondering how she could
tell him what was going on in her life. She was falling in love
with Giles, and she just didn't know how Angel would take it. She
looked up as he spoke, drawing her away from her thoughts.

"What's on
your mind, Buff. You look deep in thought…"

"I don't know
if I can tell you. I just don't know how you would react…"

"You know you
can tell me anything, Buffy….I won't bite…"

She laughed at his
last comment, shaking her head. She ran her fingers through her
hair as she looked up at him, feeling him playing with her hair.
She just didn't know if she could tell Angel what was going on in
her mind, and in her heart. She sat up, pulling out of his embrace,
and looking deep into those beautiful dark eyes of his.

"Angel…I
think I'm falling in love…"

"Who's the
lucky guy?"

"It's….Giles…Angel;
I don't know how this is happening….It's just so odd."

Angel looked at
Buffy, with a shocked look on his face. How could Buffy be in love
with Giles? He was just…so much older than her. Was it
really possible for two people from two different generation to
fall in love? He had always been like a father to her. At least
that was how Angel had always seen it. Maybe that love had been
more than he had thought it had been. And now she had the same
feelings for him. It seemed strange, but not that strange.

"Well, that's
not that bad…..He's closer to your age than I am."

She laughed as she
moved a piece of her hair from her face. He seemed to be okay with
what she had told her. Those words made her feel so much better.
She flicked a piece of her hair from her face, smiling.

"So, you're
okay with it? It doesn't freak you out?"

He shook his head
in the negative, and she grinned, giving him a big hug. She was so
glad that he wasn't completely freaked out. She flicked a piece of
her hair from her face as she looked around, seeing that the sun
was beginning to rise over the top of the hills of Sunnydale. He
stood up, pulling her to her feet.

"I better get
out of here, unless you want me to burn up." He spoke as he
stood up, before turn back to her once again. "Buffy, Giles is
a good man and he'd be good for you. Give him a chance…"

Buffy nodded
slowly, digesting his words. Giles was a good man. He was a
wonderful man. She would give him a chance. She would tell him how
much she cared about him, as soon as they could get some time
alone. She stood up and gave Angel one last hug, kissing his cheek
as she pulled away. She smiled up at him as he smiled back, taking
her hand and squeezing it before walking off into the darkness. She
looked around, saying goodbye to her mother and promising to visit
her as soon as she could. She picked up her purse and before
walking off, headed towards the house.

An hour or so
later, Giles was sitting in the living room of the house, with Dawn
by his side. Anya and Xander were sitting in chairs across from
them, and Tara and Willow were in another chair. The worry was
clear on Giles worn face as Dawn put a hand on his shoulder, trying
to comfort him. He sighed, nodding, trying to smile. He knew that
Buffy was a grown woman and she could take care of herself, but he
was still worried about her. He knew he was falling in love with
her, if he wasn't already deep into love. He just wished he could
tell her. He was just so afraid of what she would think. He didn't
want to ruin their friendship, if she didn't feel the same. It was
just such a confusing time for him.

Dawn looked up at
him, patting his hand. He was glad to have her support, but she was
still just a child. The others would never understand especially
Willow and Xander. They had been there when Buffy loved Angel, and
they hadn't liked her dating an "older man". What would
happen if Giles and Buffy were to become a couple? The
repercussions could be dire.

The group about
jumped up when Buffy walked through the door, with her eyes
drooping low. She appeared to be quite exhausted. She tried to put
up a smile, as Xander came to hug her. She gave him a hug in
return, which followed by Willow, Anya, Tara and Dawn hugging her
as well. She felt as though her arms were close to falling off as
Giles came closer to her. She couldn't help the heat turning up on
her cheeks as he hugged her, holding onto her so tight. He must
have been so terribly worried. She held him tight as well, just
hoping the rest of the world could just disappear in his arms. She
let go a few seconds later, even if it had seemed like eternity.

"Are you
alright, Buffy?"

"Yes…I'm
fine…I just…needed to stay with mom."

Buffy tried her
best to smile, as Dawn came up beside her. Dawn was still her baby
sister, and she was going to protect her no matter what. Even if in
reality, she wasn't really her sister. It would still be important
for Buffy to love and protect her. Dawn turned and spoke to the
group, as Buffy placed her jacket and purse by the door.

"Buffy needs
some rest everyone. Come on, Buffy…"

Buffy wasn't going
to try and argue with Dawn. She was extremely tired. She could talk
to Giles after her nap. Buffy turned to Giles giving him another
quick hug, and whispering into his ear.

"Giles, I'll
talk to you later. Its important, okay?"

"Of course
Buffy…"

She let go of him,
walking out of the room with Dawn behind her. Giles turned to look
at the others, hoping they hadn't noticed how he had gazed at Buffy
with loving eyes. He coughed before he spoke up, trying to put the
pressure of him.

"Well, I
think you all should go, and get some rest as well."

"Good idea,
Giles. We will be back later."

Xander spoke as he
pulled Anya out with him, leaving Willow and Tara behind. Willow
gave Giles a hug, sighing.

"Take care of
her."

Did she know how
he felt for Buffy? Willow had always been the one who had noticed
other people's feelings. He came up with something to cover, hoping
that she wouldn't notice how red his cheeks were getting.

"You know I
will take care of them, Willow."

Willow nodded as
she took Tara's hand and headed for the door. He sat down on the
couch, as he took his glasses off and closed his eyes, knowing that
he needed just about as much sleep as Buffy did.

Upstairs in her
room, Buffy was laying in her bed, trying to sleep. She had a lot
of things on her mind, and didn't know if she was doing the right
thing. She really did love him, but what about the others? Willow
and Xander would never understand. She wanted to be happy, but she
didn't want to offend them. Buffy watched her sister walking out of
the room, happy that Buffy was getting some sleep. Buffy closed her
eyes and drifted off to sleep. She could figure things out later.
Now, all she needed was sleep.
