The Wow Factor
Chapter 2 - The WOW Factor
"Well, William, look at what Ripper's found." Ethan said with a sly smile on his lips when the two reached the table.
"Yes, I do say, she is quite the edible little thing isn't she." The blonde replied as if he thought Buffy and Rupert couldn't hear him.
"That's quite enough from you two." Rupert intoned dryly. "I brought her over here to meet you two scoundrels, although, now I can't for the life of me recall why I would have wanted to do such a thing. It's done now however so I might as well get on with it. Buffy these are my friends, and I use the term lightly, Ethan and William. Ethan, William, this is Buffy…er…" Rupert blushed with embarrassment as he realized that he'd forgotten it already.
"Summers" Buffy filled in "and it's very nice to meet you both." She held out her hand first to William and then to Ethan, they took it in turn
"So, Ripper I see you're back to your old tricks." Ethan laughed as he indicated the now slowly rising Angel a few yards away.
"Yes, well, he did have it coming." Rupert said slightly embarrassed. Buffy step a little closer to him and wrap an arm around his waist, giving him a little hug and smiling up at him.
"My hero." She sighed as the two men sitting at the table exchanged knowing glances with each other.
The dazed and angry Angel who had made his way over to where Buffy and Rupert were standing halted whatever may have come next.
"This isn't over!" He said pointing a menacing finger first at Buffy then a Rupert. Rupert glared at the younger man, instinctively pulling Buffy in closer to his side, but made no answer. Angel who seemed to understand that this wasn't the time or place turned on his heel and stormed off.
Buffy and Rupert took seats at the table and the four new acquaintances began to chat. Several minutes later Tara came up behind Buffy and interrupted shyly.
"B-B-Buffy?"
Buffy turned her smiling face to Tara.
"Oh hey Tara, I want you to meet some new friends of mine." She indicated the three men she was sitting with and pointed to each one in turn. "This is William, Ethan and Rupert. Everyone this is my friend Tara."
"She's a cutie too." William replied thought a lopsided grin.
A blushing Tara continued.
"It's v-very nice to meet you. Buffy, the guys sent me over to let you know that if we're g-g-going to make the show we have to get going now."
"Oh crap, yeah, I'll be right there."
As Tara scurried off Buffy turned back to the table and said her good-byes. As she stood to leave she handed Rupert a folded slip of paper, smiled at him, and ran off after Tara and the others. Rupert looked at the paper in his hand and unfolded it. His head snapped back around to watch the beautiful blonde disappear from view. When he turned back to the others his face was covered by and ear to ear smile.
"What's that impish look about Ripper, old man?" Ethan questioned
In response Rupert simply placed the paper on the table for the others to read:
Had fun being saved by you and meeting your friends. Thanks. Also, it doesn't hurt that you're really a hottie. Give me a call sometime. 520-2003. Buffy.
"When'd she write that?" William asked slightly amused.
"I haven't the slightest clue."
~~Two days later Buffy, Willow and Tara's off campus Apartment~~
"Wils have you seen my black miniskirt? I can't find it anywhere! Rupert will be here in less than two hours and I still have to…" Buffy was on her knees by her bed and her list became a muffled yelling as she stuck the top half of her body underneath it and began to toss things out from under it. Once she had satisfied herself that it wasn't there, creating one heck of a mess in the process, she removed herself from under the bed and moved to sit on it.
"Grrr Argh!" Buffy cried throwing her hands in the air in defeat. "Where is it?"
"Where is what?" Willow asked as she entered the room, surveying the damage of what looked like two F5 tornados.
"My black mini. It's AWAL!"
"You mean that black mini." The red-head asked pointing to a black wisp of leather draped over the back of the vanity chair. Buffy looked where she was pointing and then back a Willow with a sheepish grin.
"Thanks." She said simply as she crossed the room and grabbed the skirt, it soon joined the blood red, low cut tank top on the bed. Willow walked over and sat down next to the outfit.
"So, big first date, are you nervous?" Willow asked with a smile.
Buffy looked at her friend with an `I-just-tore-my-room-apart- looking-for-a-skirt-that-all-but-got-up-and-smacked-me-what-do-you- think' look and went to the closet to find her high-heeled strapy sandals, Willow laughed and stood up crossing back over to the door.
"Well, anyway, Tara told me to tell you that she's done in the bathroom so it's all yours. We'll be downstairs if you need us."
With that Willow left and Buffy headed for the shower.
~Across town, Rupert, William and Ethan's Flat, One hour and fortyfive minutes later.~
Rupert, stood in front of the mirror giving himself a last once over. For his first date with Buffy he choose boot cut blue jeans and a forest green silk button up paired with black leather cowboy boots, as a final touch he had decided to wear a small sliver hoop in his ear. He reached up and gave the earring a flick then nodded and smiled at himself.
He descended the loft stairs and took his wallet and keys from the counter top that separated the kitchen from the living area. He put them in the inside pocket of his Leather jacket and then put the jacket on. He reached for the door knob and paused. Turning as gave the two men that were watching him from the sofa a wide grin.
"Don't wait up." He told them with a wink then he was out the door and headed for his car.
*******************
Buffy paced in front of the door glancing at her watch for the umpteen time in five minutes. She stopped pacing and stared at Willow and Tara.
"He's not coming. He changed his mind and he's not coming, I just know it." She sounded on the verge of tears.
"Buffy, it's only 8:06, he's barely even late. Just calm down and come over here and sit." Willow told her.
Buffy sighed and looked at the door once more before she made her way over to the sofa and sat, her knee bouncing up and down nervously. Tara smiled at her and Willow giggled, they'd never seen Buffy so nervous, let alone for a date.
The door bell rang at 8:11 and Buffy nearly jumped straight from the sofa to the door in once movement. She paused at the door before opening it; smoothed her clothes and fluffed her hair. Taking a deep breath she reached for the door and swung it open. Her breath caught when she saw him, he was absolutely gorgeous. She scanned him from the black boots to the green silk shirt that brought out his intense eyes and finally resting on the silver hoop hanging from his ear. She beamed at him and he beamed back.
**********************
Rupert nearly gasped when she opened the door. She stood at the doorway, this goddess, and smiled at him. The tops of her long, lean, sexy legs were barely covered by the dully shiny leather of her mini skirt and the smooth skin from the inside edges of her perfect breast peeked out at him from the shirt she had chosen, her long blonde hair hung in loose waves around her face and neck. He was certain that she had deiced to drive him completely insane on this first date. Rupert presented his arm and she took it turning back to give her friends a little wave and to pull the door closed.
**********************
Their date went very well, at dinner they talked and laughed and were able to avoid any of the hard silences that usually found their way into a first date. They were so comfortable with one another that they were even feeding one another from there plates. Once they had dinner, which was all they had originally had planned, Rupert suggested that they go and see a movie. Not wanting the date to end, Buffy gladly accepted the offer. In the theater Buffy and Rupert found themselves holding hands and Buffy had scooted in close to lean her head on his shoulder. They shared popcorn and at the end of the night when Rupert walked her to her door they shared a tender yet passionate first kiss.
Buffy came in the front door and leaned her back against it when she closed it. She sighed and looked dreamy as she stay unmoving against the door. Tara saw she and smiled.
"How'd it g-go?" she asked as Willow came in from the kitchen.
"Wow." Was all the answer that Buffy could make then she pushed herself back from the door and mounted the steps to the upstairs bedrooms as Tara and Willow exchanged knowing grins.
When Rupert returned to the flat he found William sitting alone in front of the T.V. watching some old movie. William turned in his seat when he heard the door open and close.
"Well?" he questioned. Rupert just smiled. "That good huh?"
"Better." William laughed and went back to his movie.
"Where's Ethan?" Rupert questioned. William turned back around and made a face.
"He went out with Wesley, they asked if I wanted to come along but I hate going out with those two buggers, they always start sucking on each others faces and I never know whether to be jealous or vomit."
"William, you need a girlfriend." Rupert laughed. William snorted then his face brightened a bit.
"What about the hot little shy thing that was with Buffy at the mall? Think you could help a fellow out?"
"I'll see what I can do. I'm going to bed." Rupert told him as he began to climb the stairs to the loft.
"Yeah, well yank quietly. I'm watching a movie down here." Rupert ignored his flat mate's signature vulgar comment and went to bed.
"Well, William, look at what Ripper's found." Ethan said with a sly smile on his lips when the two reached the table.
"Yes, I do say, she is quite the edible little thing isn't she." The blonde replied as if he thought Buffy and Rupert couldn't hear him.
