Authors Note: I hope you like.I love Angel by the way. LOL.
I was sitting on a soft black couch looking out the mansion window, watching the sun rise. The sun was beautiful. I never thought I would be in the mansion, watching the sun rise by myself; let alone without Angel.
After Angel passed out I had no choice but to care for him. His body seemed to move every now and again, but he hadn't woken up yet, I don't know why. I had used my slayer strength along with Xander's help to carry him to the mansion. I put him under his warm covers. I knew it didn't matter if I had put him under the covers but it felt like the right thing to do when taking care of someone.
Willow planned to check in with me later that morning. Xander left home after helping me get Angel here. I was waiting in the foyer of the mansion, watching morning come. I still hadn't slept. I knew I would be at Angel's side til he awoke.
I soon moved to sit on the warm brown cushiony chair next to his bed. He looked so peaceful and gorgeous lying there in his bed. I had never actually been in his mansion with him before, I mean I had been, when he was Angelus and actually found this place, but not before that, not with Angel.
I couldn't help but wonder what was going on through his mind right now. Was he being tortured in his dreams, was that part of the spell? I had no clue.
I wrapped myself in a blanket on the chair and finally decided to get some shut eye. The light didn't flow into his room, thank god or Angel would burst into flames. I slowly drifted off to sleep in the dark filled room.
Quite some time later when I awoke I saw a lamp had been plugged in the corner and was lighting the room. As my eyes adjusted I noticed some food on a small table to the side of me. My blanket was still around me as my eyes slowly scanned the room.
When my eyes made it to the bed something was wrong. Angel wasn't in the bed. "Oh my god!" I said so softly to myself at a level almost no one else could hear. I all but leaped out of the chair and pulled down the covers on the bed that had been nicely made. I was looking for dust. I mean I had been sleeping, what the hell happened to him, I thought. I didn't know what to think.
Just as I was frantically rummaging through Angel's bed I felt a presence behind me. My slayer instinct told me to wait but a moment. If this was the thing that took Angel I was going to kill it.
I felt the presence getting closer. As it got closer I felt different. I still hadn't turned my head to let the presence know I knew they were there, but something was off. My instincts no longer told me it was a threat.
Finally when the presence was just a few feet away from me, I knew who it was.
"Angel? "I sighed, seeming to question my instincts. I turned as I called out his name. When my eyes reached his dark brood shoulders and gorgeous face a burst of relief ran through me.
He gazed at me with his perfectly gorgeous dark brown eyes. He looked as if he had just showered. He had changed his clothes; he was now wearing a black wife beater and some comfy black sweats, his hair done as perfect as usual.
He slightly smiled at me as I again all but leaped off his bed and ran to him. I wrapped my arms around him so tight, his arms returned my grasp.
As we slightly parted he spoke," Everything okay Buffy?" I felt tears start to swell as I gazed into his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah." I nodded tears still forming. "I mean, sure I was freaked out…I wake up and your gone once again. But, you're here now…Do you remember what happened?" I questioned still not taking my eyes off him.
He looked slightly confused. "Angel, after we did the spell you fell to the ground, passed out…Xander and I brought you here....your okay now right? The spell… do you think it worked?" I spoke the words so frantically. I had been so worried about him. But he was awake now, walking around. He even got a lamp and brought me some food.
He lowered his head. "Buffy…." He started slowly. "I do….feel different...and yeah i know what happened...but I am not sure if it worked…Willow said there was a chance…." "Willow?" I cut in.
"Yeah, she came while you were asleep. She's the one that brought the food, thought you might be hungry. She didn't want to wake you…neither did I. We talked for minute, she said she would give us some time alone; she told me what happened, told me to tell you she called your mom; told her you were sleeping the night at her house... Buffy…I" He now moved away from me completely turning his head to face the other way.
"I don't know what this means. When I woke up, and I saw you sleeping…I just…you looked so beautiful…I didn't know what had happened until Willow got here. I only remembered sitting on Willows bed; now that I know everything I just…" he paused. I couldn't move, "Buffy I want you so badly… You know how much I…" He paused now turning to look at me.
My eyes were again swelled with tears. His words meant everything to me. He was now gazing into my eyes with his most gorgeous stare he had ever mustered. Now his eyes seemed to get teary. We gazed at each other all moony, that way you hear about in movies.
"Angel…I love you. We'll figure this out." I said softly moving towards him, not taking my eyes off him.
I just stood there hanging on his every word.
"I love you." He returned the words slowly, "I just…"
I figured I had morning hair. I was still wearing my pink sleeveless top and black knee length spandex. I'm sure my face looked tired having just woken up and all.
But I didn't care. At that very moment I reached out my hand to his. Gripping it softly my other hand moved to his cheek. Pulling him forward in such a quick motion I kissed his mouth stopping him from finishing his sentence. God I had been waiting to do that for so long now. The kiss was short but warm and sweet. I pulled away within an instant, not knowing how he would react. Opening my eyes I spoke sweetly, "You just what?" I finished; searching his body with my eyes.
He pulled me close so fast returning my kiss fully. His mouth covering mine in full passionate kisses. I slid my tongue in his mouth, wanting to taste every part of him. His arms wrapped around my waist pulling me closer.
My body pressed against his as I felt the heat grow between us. His kisses were so soft, yet so fiery at the same time. I put my hand behind his neck slightly pulling his hair. It had been so long since I had really felt him. Angel had been gone for so long; I never wanted to let him go now that I had him back.
We kept kissing; I could have kissed him forever. His hand came up to the side of my face and slowly trailed down along my neck. He slightly moved my head to the side, kissing my neck line softly. I thought I would melt into his arms right at that moment.
My arms were wrapped around his body tightly, pulling him as close to me as I possibly could. I gasped slightly, letting him know how much I wanted him. His tight hold on my body, the way he looked into my eyes, it said everything about the way he felt. I kept grabbing at his body, kissing him wherever I could; he kept doing the same.
We both wanted the same thing. I knew the spell worked, it had to have. He was still Angel. I saw the light glow in his eyes and he was here….now, holding onto me, kissing me, wanting me.
That forbidden love that had always been ours could no longer be. But there was only one way to find out. Angel had tried to logic us out of it but we both knew what was coming.
