Chapter One : Buffy's Illusion

" Whoa " Buffy said sighing and breathing heavily as she sat up in the bed. She sat up and noticed the cold beads of sweat forming on her forehead as she looks down and finds that she's holding a wooden stake infront of her. Breathing a sigh of relief she layed down ignorantly slamming the wooden stake on her night stand then looked at the window. It was open . " How did it get open? " she thought silently to herself.

The cool night wind blew against her now flushed face. It felt good to her so she left it open and layed down on her bed. She turned once more over on her left side, only to find Angel laying on the bed beside her.

He was wearing a big black leather jacket with a white t-shirt underneath. He had loose jeans on and a pair of black boots on. His spiked almost-black brown hair blowing in the breeze. He looked calm and comfortable.

" Oh my god ! " Screamed Buffy.

" Hi.. " He said calmly grinning evilishly.

" I thought I might use the window this time " He said chuckling quietly to himself.

" Well , that wasn't smart now was it!? You scared me!"

" Woops " He said this time smirking.

Without saying anything he leaned over and gently kissed her lips closing his eyes and rubbing his fingers through her hair. She responded and motioned towards him, positioning a hand behind his head. Just then she heard her bedroom door slowly creak open .

She opened her eyes to find herself laying there and noone else but her inside the room now realizing it must've been a dream. She looked to see Spike leaning against the doorway holding a lighter up to his ciggerette that was hanging from his mouth . She watched him light it up and put his zippo slowly in his pocket. His eyes filled with confusion. She sat up and looked at him ignorantly .

" Are ...... you ok? " He asked with a puzzled look on his face.

" Yeah I'm fine, what are you doing up so late? "

" Well, you see, I was sleeping untill I heard you making wierd noises in here so really, you just woke me up love " He said looking at her suspiciously.

" Super-hearing and all that" He said like it was an obvious thing that she should know.

" Now, leave before I stake you !" She yelled reaching for her stake she had placed on her nightstand not too long ago. He quickly backed away saying

" bloody hell you don't have to go to drastic measures know love !"

He put the ciggerrette to his mouth , about to take another long puff. Before he could say or do anymore , Buffy threw the stake hitting it right in the middle of his ciggerrette, pinning it to the wall nearest to him.

His eyes widened as he said looking at her " You bint !"

She said raising an eyebrow saying " Your just waiting for more aren't you? "

" You know, that last shag wasn't all that bad now wasn't it ? Atleast that's what the moans and groans are telling me " He said with a smirk .

" OUT !" She shouted uncautiously aware that there where other inhabitants in the house sleeping.

" Goodnight love " He said smiling slamming the door behind him.
