*BEEEEEEP*

"damn thing!" Buffy rolled over smacking the alarm clock hard with the palm of her hand. "ouch" she whimpered as she slowly began to get up out of her warm cosy bed.

She trailed downstairs to the smell of Bacon that her mum was cooking in the kitchen. "hey, what are you up to today madam?" Joyce asked, looking up at her dopey looking daughter.

"house hunting" Buffy grunted back wishing she was back upstairs in her bed.

"Well its about time, your 24 year old, When I was..."

Buffy ignored her mothers ramblings and picked up the morning newspaper in search of a house. Instantly an advert leaped out at Buffy.

Lodger wanted!

Price to be discussed

She paused, her green eyes continued staring down at the paper, as thoughts rushed through her head. "Get dressed! Go on, looks like a promising one!" She said to herself as she made her way upstairs.

"BUFFY! Arent you going to have breakfast???" Joyces voice fell on deaf ears.

**************************************************************************** ****************

"OK, I can do this" Buffy took a deep breath as she banged hard on the solid oak door infront of her.

It hadnt taken her long to get there and she hadnt even began to think about what she was going to say when the door was finally opened.

"What!" A bleached blonde man stood before her, staring down at Buffy. "We don't want any bloody beggars here offering catalogues, now get lost!" His British accent sounded weird compared to Buffys American one. The blonde turned away, about to close the door when: "Spike, who is it?" a deep male voice came from inside.

"I'm here about the room" Buffy butted in before the door was close on her face. She heard the owner of the voice rise from his seat indoors and walk up to the doorway.

He stood towering over Spike, his deep black spiky hair stood out against his brilliant white teeth and deep chocolate brown eyes.

Buffy felt her knees go. She leant herself against the doorway, supporting her weight against it.

"Hey, why don't you come in, excuse my flat mate he can be a bit.Annoying at times." The tall man said, staring into Buffys green eyes.

Spike stepped away, grumbling allowing room for the beautiful blonde that was flirting with his flatmate in. "Angelface I wouldn't be calling me annoying if I were you" Spike threatened turning away, heading for his favourite seat by the TV.

"Shut up" A growl echoed back, silencing the blonde one.

"If this is a bad time, I apologise, I'll leave so you and your boyfriend can...." Buffy began

"BOYFRIEND??" Spike cried out, "Me and peaches going out? You must be kiding I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole!" Spike spat in disgust.

"Well you did call him Angelface..." Buffy's face began to turn an ugly shade of red.

No silly that's my name, Angel" The tall man finally told her.

"Angel, What a cool name!" Buffy smiled, her knees growing ever weaker.

"Well let me show you around.... what did you say your name was??" Angel asked puzzled.

"Buffy" She replied.

**************************************************************************** ****************

"What do you think of it?" Angel asked, half an hour later. Buffy placed her cup of tea on her lap and looked up at the gorgeous man sat infront of her.

"its lovely, I love it!" She looked around the lounge that they were sat in. Paintings were on the wall, deep white and red mixed together on the wall, creating patterns, laminated flooring adorned with rugs at her feet. "Who decorated, they really have a good taste" Buffy gazed around again.

"That would be me" Angel sighed, looking at the beautiful blonde infront of him.

"OH will you quit drooling!!" Spike wondered into the lounge, from the kitchen where he had prepared himself some dinner. "Now lets talk about if you can afford it...." Spike clapped his hands together, loving the thought of money.

"Spike.." Angel warned. "Buffy, could you afford this? The average weekly amount is probably about $80 plus the phone bill once a month which you just pay for your own calls and then there's food...." Angel started praying that she could afford it.

"Well I have a job at a resturant as a waitress and im Teaching martial arts classes.. So yes I could I think." She smiled.

"When can you move in then" Angel could jump for joy.

"Tomorrow??" Buffy was equally as glad.
