Chapter 2: The morning after
Lindsey's apartmentLindsey awoke that morning and the first thing he saw was the face of the most beautiful face he had ever had the chance of seeing. This was the face of Buffy Anne Summers, also know as the slayer. Her blonde hair was laid out alone the pillow; her face was soft and washed away of all the stress that she faces everyday.
Buffy started to stir and yet Lindsey didn't move a muscle. As her eyes began to open she looked up at him and smiled, it was the best sight he had seen in a very long time. Her hand went to her hair and her eyes widened. "Oh no…bed hair," she said as she got up making sure the sheet still covered her body while trying to rid herself of the evil monster called bed hair.
"It's not that bad," he said with a smirk even though it was in fact that bad. She gave him the 'don't be nice' look and he couldn't help it but his smile grew. "Sorry but I couldn't help it, I didn't want you to feel bad because when you wake up your hair looks like that but when I wake up my hair looks perfect," he said with a cocky smile.
"I hate men," she said as she took the sheet and got up out of the bed.
"Where are you going?" he asked faking concern.
"I have to us the bathroom," she said in a sarcastic way before disappearing in his bathroom. Lindsey lay back in his bed with his hands folded behind the back of his head looking at the ceiling. His life couldn't get any better than this, he had someone that he thought he could be with for a very long time, he was back in L.A., and life was good all around. The only problem he knew we was going to have to face would be Angel because after last night he knew that souled vampire will be able to smell him on Buffy.
The bathroom door opened back up and out walked Buffy. "Miss me?" she asked with a seductive smirk on her face. She climbed back into bed and laid her head on Lindsey chest. "You know I don't normally do things like I did last night. I at least wait until I get to know the person and that me and said person are actually in a relationship." She paused waiting for him to respond but he didn't. "I don't want you to think I am some sort of whore who goes around and sleeps with every guy she bumps into on the street," she explained.
He looked at the top of her head. "I don't think that," he said. She looked up into his brown eyes. "And I want you to know that I don't go around sleep with women either, I want to know that when I wake up that person will still be there by my side," he explained.
"I'm still here," she said. She lightly kissed him on the lips as she looked at the clock across the room, when she saw the time she jumped back. "Oh my god," she said as she got up off the bed looking for her clothes.
"What?" Lindsey asked confused.
"I'm late," she said. "He is going to kill me, my first day on the job and I'm late," she said as she pulled on her clothes. Then her eyes caught his, "I guess I'll talk to you later then," she said as she leaned over the bed.
"I'll call you just leave your number on the pad of paper by the phone," he said. "I really don't want you to go," he said with a smile. "I want to spend the whole day with you…in this bed of course." He added.
"Me too," she said. "But unfortunately I have to go earn a living," she said with a shrug. "I'll talk to you later," she said as she exited the room making sure to leave her number on the pad of paper.
He didn't know how he did it, how he happened to snag a women like Buffy but he couldn't be happier. Maybe except the fact that Angel was going to be royally pissed when he smells Lindsey all over Buffy again. That will just make him even happier.
His phone started to ring but he didn't feel like answering it because his mind was on other things so he just let the phone get it. Over his answering machine came the voice of a woman he thought he would never hear from again. He thought for sure the Senior Partners would have taken care of her.
Eve. The person he hooked up with when he came back to L.A. the first time. The women that tried to help him take down Angel, which backfired on him completely. She was telling him how she knew he was back in town and that she would sooner or later come into contact with her. On the plus side she didn't say anything about he knowing who Buffy is.
Lindsey listened to the message but made no move to answer the phone. That part of his life was over, the evil is no longer apart of him and that is the perfect way to live, at least it is in his mind. The only thing that took up his mind nowadays is Buffy, for some odd reason he couldn't get his mind of off her and they had only spent one night together. Yet he hoped that she is the one that would take the long hall with him.
Listen to yourself man. You sound like a man that has had his life taken over by a woman yet you have only known this woman for one day. I can't seem to help it, I feel as if I want to know everything about her life and I want to tell her everything about mine. But you see I know that will never happen because she is the slayer and she isn't supposed to tell anyone about her identity. And if I was to tell her about the times that I did deals with the devil and the time I spent at Wolfram & Hart when they were evil she would never want to see me again.
And how do you know that? Because I just do. Lets see how would I start that conversation, 'oh by the way before I moved back to Texas I used to work for an evil law firm that wanted to destroy the world'. Yeah that sounds real romantic. I know you think that if you tell Buffy the truth she is going to run for cover but you have to remember that she is the slayer and see had seen things that would make you run for cover. She has dates two vampires and a soldier that wanted to be a hero. I'm sure she cane take an ex-evil lawyer.
Lindsey pondered this for a while thinking about the things that Buffy has seen in her lifetime as the slayer. And he concluded that an ex-evil lawyer couldn't be that bad. He got up out of bed grabbed and quick shower and decided to go have himself some fun out in the big city of L.A.
Wolfram & Hart
He couldn't believe it; he could smell him on her again. And the worst part is that it was stronger this time, that meant something was different, they weren't just friends anymore. Just as he was about to get up and approach her Nina walked into his office. She had smile on her face as she walked over to him.
He smiled in return as he kissed her when she bent down to kiss him. Even though she was kissing him, he still couldn't get the idea of Lindsey's smell on Buffy and why it was so strong. Just as they broke apart the other souled vampire known as Spike walked into the office.
"We need to talk," he told Angel while looking at Nina. "Alone," he added.
"I'll see you for lunch," he said as he kissed her once more before she turned and walked out of the office making sure to growl at Spike on her way out. "You smell it to don't you," Angel said as he looked at his nemeses.
"You mean the smell of another man on Buffy…yeah!" he said. "I still haven't even faced her yet but I can smell her all over this place." He paused. "Does she even know I'm alive?" he asked and Angel shakes his head 'no'. "We really didn't get into that part of my life here when she stopped in yesterday looking for a job." He explained.
"Who is the guy anyway…it smells oddly familiar." He said as he sniffed the air again still being able to smell her although not as strongly.
"You remember Lindsey McDonald?" Angel asked and Spike's eyes widened. "Yeah," he said. Before Angel could stop him Spike was out of his office. Angel was quick to follow because he knew Spike and he also knew that when Spike was angry he did very stupid things.
