Chapter 2 A Father's Love
1 MONTH LATER:
Buffy grumbled angrily as she bursted into her fathers office. Rupert was filing papers in his drawer when he turned around in time to see his daughter settle into the chair. She had a scowl marring her features since she came back from her run last month. He sighed,"Dear, what is it? Wait, if it's your hormones, do talk to your mother. I beg of you." He spoke in his English accent as he fixed his small circular glasses, a small smile playing at his lips.
This only deepened her scowl. It brought back the memories of her encounter with Angelus. Her hormones were NOT out of wack! Were they? NO they were NOT!"My hormones are soo not outta wack." Buffy glared him.
The small smile fell right off his lips."Darling I was just joking. The last time you attempted to mate, you acted the same way. I never liked that Parker boy. He didn't treat you right," Rupert more muttered to himself."What is it, my Sweet?"
She sighed and plastered a fake smile across her tanned cheeks,"Nothing, Papa!" Fake enthusiasm.
He saw right through it though,"Buffy..." THE warning tone Buffy hated... So... So... Much.
"Fine! Fine! But I usually only talk with Mama about this." She shuffled her feet slowly."I met this boy. Man, really-"
Rupert cut her off with a sigh,"How much older is he?"
Buffy rolled her eyes,"Pa! Only a year. He-he-he,well, he's not from this pack..." She drawled out, waiting to see his reaction.
He simply smiled a thin, sincere smile."What do you think of him."
She awkwardly looked down. She usually talked about this with her mother."I-I'm... Confused."
The lawyer reached across the table and rubbed his daughter's hand, in a comforting manner."Darling what do you feel when you see him?"
"I've only seen him five times but, each time, I fall for him more. But I don't wanna! I don't know what it is! His cocky attitude, his confidence, his wise but annoying sayings, his cryptic answers!" she spoke with a small pout that jutted her bottom lip.
He chuckled."What do you feel in you when you see him?"
A whimsical smile spread across her lips as she looked past his shoulder, deep in thought."I-I get this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. Like a thousand butterflies flapping around in my tummy. I feel all tingly."
Rupert patted Buffy's hand before his phone rang and he answered it. He began talking about a case, and she slipped out.
Hopefully her fathers silent words helped.
