An old relationship of one's youth changing to a more mature equal one, their friendship was changing, he was no longer her security blanket.   They both had their own lives now. He shook his head to clear it.  He wouldn't think of his slayer tonight.  He would only think of his girl.  He smiled and started to hum as he went to get ready for his date.  It was their 2 week anniversary, and her birthday. He knew exactly which shirt he was going to wear tonight.  She'd complimented him in it on the day they'd first kissed.  She'd liked the way the green brought out the green in his eyes.  He pulled out his black trousers, tight in all the right places.  That's what she'd told him just before she'd proceeded to make them even tighter.  He started to grin as he imagined what she would be wearing.  Whatever it was she would be beautiful. He looked at the clock as he splashed on some cologne, and put his earring in.  He picked up his car keys, her present and locked the door as he left. Ten minutes later he arrived in front of her house.  He walked up the front path and rang the door bell. Joyce opened the door and smiled, "Buffy's not ready yet Giles.. But are you surprised? Oh thankyou." She said as he handed her a bunch of flowers. "No, not really.  I thought I might take a moment to talk you while I was waiting." Giles smiled at his lover's mother. "I realise you may have qualms about Buffy and I .. " "It's okay Giles.  Yes, you are remarkably older than her, but she loves you.  You love her.  You would do anything for the other.  You know my daughter better than I do.  You have my blessing, Giles.  I know she's in good hands." Joyce tried to hide her smile at the grin slowly spreading over his face. "Joyce... I .. I.. I don't quite know what to say!  I must say I am surprised.  I thought you would.." "Come after you with a meat cleaver? Screaming about my baby's virtue?" Joyce supplied "Well... quite frankly.. Yes." Giles looked surprised. They both looked up as they heard noise from upstairs. "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN!!" Buffy yelled. Joyce turned to look at Giles, "Erm.. I better go up and check on them.  Sorry, but you know how they are" "Yes, Quite." replied Buffy's boyfriend. Joyce and Giles smiled at each other, as she turned to go upstairs to see what had happened. Two minutes later, Dawn came running down the stairs where she skidded to a halt when she saw Giles standing there. "Wow." she gasped "Giles, you look good." "Thank you Dawn, it's very nice of you to say so," Giles smiled at Buffy's little sister. "These are for you." he told her as he handed her a bunch of flowers.  Dawn's smile grew wide. They looked up when they heard Buffy clear her throat from the top of the stairs. Giles looked up at the vision before him and he heard his own sharp intake of breath. "You look stunning, dearest." he complimented her. Buffy smile lit up the room.  She was wearing a black dress that was cut perfectly for her, it was one of those dresses that simply took mens breath away. "For that you get one of these." she informed him as she kissed him gently on the cheek. "Shall we?" he asked holding out his arm. "Let's." the young blonde replied. "See you tomorrow Buffy." Dawn called after her big sister. "DAAWN!" Both Buffy and her mother yelled. "You take care, honey.  And I'll see you tomorrow.  Take good care of her Giles." Joyce laughed as she saw the blush creep over Giles' face. Giles opened Buffy's car door and kissed her gently. "I missed you." "Missed you too Giles." she returned to the occupation at hand, kissing Giles senseless. "Oops too late." she murmured against his lips and laughed as she felt him frown.  Reluctantly she pulled back and got in the car. "So where are we going?" "Home?" he asked hopefully. "Uh-uh.. I didn't get dressed up like this just so you could take me to your place and fuck me sense.... Hmm how about we go back to after dinner?  We could even just get take away?" she said thinking of all the times they had spent at his house lately. She was starting to feel aroused already after his kisses.  Then again he always had this affect on her.  She looked over at her boyfriend, her lover and smiled as she whispered. "Giles, I'm horny." Giles gulped and turned to Buffy his eyes blazing. "Umm Bad Buffy?" was the only thing she could think to say. "Buffy, if you don't behave yourself we WILL be doing it right here in the car, in front of your mother's house.  If you behave we will be going to a beautiful little restaurant just out of town, having a beautiful dinner and then going home so I can worship your body all night long." and with that speech done he leaned over and kissed her hard and passionately. "and by the way Happy Birthday." Buffy just sat there wanting more than anything to just take him right there, it was only the fact she knew Dawn was watching them out the lounge room window. "Okay Giles, you're the boss." she replied meekly. Giles leaned over and she felt his warm breath on her as he whispered, "If it wasn't for the fact that Dawn was still watching us I would take you right here right now." and with that he started the engine and drove them to the restaurant.
