Heyy baby how you feeling? She groaned and burried her head into the sofa away from the light. That bad huh? She just nodded. Do you wanna stay here tonight? Again she nodded but she looked at him this time he took in her apearence and gasped. She had huge dark circles under her eyes, her skin pale, probly as pale as his own, she wore none of her usual makeup she looked tired and weak and so unlike cordy.
Comeon. he scooped her into his arms and she burried her face into his chest as he carried her into his bed room closing the door behind them to keep out the noise. He lowered her to the bed and turned on the light.
Too bright. Too bright.
sorry. He turned a few lamps on. Better?
Yeah thank you angel.
Oh that was nothing.

He could see the tears forming in her eyes but knew she would force herself not to cry as she would put it, im not some cry-buffy he felt himself smile and quikly turned his attention back to his girlfreind.

Cordelia woke up in angel s bed feeling refreshed energized and so much better. weird one nights sleep does that to you. She thought she went downstairs as the smell of food invaded her nose she walked into the kitchen to find angel cooking she wrapped her arms around his waist from behind he turned to face her.

Ok baby comeon. They took all the plates with help from the others into the kitchen. Cordy stated to run the water when she decided to splash Angel when she first did it he looked completly shoked just stood there and stared at her before slashing her with more water. She grabbed a cup filled in with water and raised it and angel filled a bottle and she froze terrified then she thought what the hell and thew the cup over his head so he squirted the complete content of bottle all over her soaking her before pinning her to the ground.
His full weight ontop of her. You look so adorable soaking wet and all sexy.
