Grrr, stupid Buffy. And stupid Angel for giving that fear to her, and her father.
One of the main reasons I don't like Angel. Angelus, I love. But Angel...not so much. Thanks for the review!

Oh, my... I am so much in love with this story! Pretty please, with sugar on, update as soon as you can! The beautiful way you portay Buffy's and William's love has my heart aching for more..
I'm working on the next chapter now, Lea. I'm hoping to have it ready for posting by the weekend, so keep checking back.

I'm glad you like the story. Thank you for taking the time to tell me so. :)

oh dear...
::pats back::

There, there. It'll be all right...eventually.

Maybe.

Damn, I just wonder if William is going to be like Spike when he's drunk. And is Buffy going to take advantage of that drunkeness? Hmm, smutty goodness?
That remains to be seen.... :P

Lovely chapter! I roll around languishing in the ANGST! >_<
Poor William!
Ah, a little angst is good for ya. ;)

Glad you liked it. As always, thanks for the review.

Gah...you've made my stomach churn with this cliffie! If they have sex now, I can only hope that William isn't tooooooooooo drunk to remember. I adore William and I would really like to see him have some happiness with the marriage before the inevitable happens with Willow bringing Buffy back. I can just bet that the book Buffy gave William will show up in Spike's possession as a treasured item from his past. Excellent update.
Great insights into the story, Shanna. You might very easily be right about the book, although, of course, that remains to be seen.

Thanks so much for the review. :)

You with the cliffhangers again...
Poor msclawdia, I'm really not trying to torture my readers; the chapters just worked out that way. However, I'm fairly certain that the next update won't contain a cliffy. :)

Buffy really doesn't know him at all does she?
In some ways, no, she doesn't. Then again, she hasn't been privvy to his private desires and struggles, as we have been. I will say this: she is trying to be good to him. She might not be succeeding, but at least she is trying.

02/21/2007 06:53 am
Oh thank god he was still there! I was worried that it was the time that she brought him to Drusilla. She doesn't know for sure that Willow will bring her back, besides, they can be happy for as long as she's there or both be miserable while time passes.

If she has sex with him and leaves, he might think that he had his best fantasy about her, so I hope she stays until he knows that he really got laid! She better say YES!!! Take what happiness they can have and to hell with the rest.

Thanks for updating again so quickly, love this and looking forward to the rest, UB.
And you're *positive* he's getting laid, huh? :P Well, I'm not venturing to comment on that one.

Thanks as always for reviewing, Verda. I really appreciate your feedback.

You would think working on all that etiquette that Buffy would have learned to beat her stupid mouth into submission. Evidentally not. I don't even want to think about a drunk William with Buffy in his room. Not a good scenario no matter how it plays out. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.
She didn't learn it in seven years of episodes, so who am I to teach her now? Glad you liked it in spite of that, though. Thanks for reviewing. :)

Ohhh, with his Victorian thinking, if she just jumps his bones here, things are going to get even worse. Well, he'll feel compelled that he *has* to marry her then, as she's been made a "fallen woman".....and while he'll have her, he'll be dreadfully guilty about how it came about. And after that, I think Buffy would have an even harder time reaching him....
Not saying one word on that. Not one. :D

02/21/2007 04:54 am
If I had my way Buffy would be married to William and he would be very happy. But this is your story and all part of some brilliantly evil plan you've devised. Great update! :)
Now, where's the fun in that, Lady? Angst is what keeps it interesting! :P

So, started crying somewhere around "‘who puts money before love?’," and I hadn't even gotten to the tear-jerky part :(

Poor William. It reminds me of the scene in "Forrest Gump" when Forrest asks Jenny why she won't marry him while she's standing on the stairs and he's at the bottom of them. And Jenny tells him no, and Forrest tells her, "I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is." And then later that night, Jenny sneaks into Forrest's bedroom, and tells him, "I do love you Forrest." Then she straddles him, takes off her nightgown, and 9 months later we get Little Forrest. That's my favorite scene in that movie, and this is my favorite chapter so far :-)

Are they finally gonna have sex now? 'Cause poor Willy's been waitin' long enough.
I love that scene in Forrest Gump; it never fails to make me cry. Sorry to jerk your tears, dear. But at least that means I am writing something that feels real, right?

As for the sex thing...

Not. Saying. One. Word. :P

Thanks for the review!

He even drank the absinthe? Ooo, that's nasty stuff, has even killed people. Hallucinations are common. Poor William....

Stupid Buffy! Never says anything in the right way. And isn't it better to make the man happy while you can, instead of holding back for the *slim* chance that Willow *might* get you back??

Now what.....is she going to stay there until he comes to enough and make him listen 'til she babbles something right?

Geeze, at least he stayed home...
Buffy doesn't really think things through before she opens her mouth, does she? lol. Well, I can't tell you where we're going from here, but it shouldn't be too long until we get there.

Thanks for the review!

02/21/2007 04:00 am
Those were awesome updates! I feel so bad for William in this situation, but I understand Buffy's reasoning for it.

I wish she was able to tell him about everything, but I don't think he would understand.

So, is Buffy finally letting Wiliam cash in his V-Card? I sure hope so! :)

Great update!
Thanks. I'm glad you think so.

That was torture. How could Buffy be so incredibly stupid. AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH.

Loved it.
Well, she is kinda known for it... :P

Thanks for reviewing!

Stupid Buffy. Now what is she planning?
lol. I think you should see what she *is* planning before condemning it to stupidity. ;)
