When Buffy woke the next day all she could feel was the pounding in her head. She groaned as she rolled over in the bed and knocked into what distinctively felt like a male body. Her eyes snapped open and she saw him asleep in the bed next to her. Looking around the room, she noticed that she wasn't at home; she must be at his place, wherever that was.

Very slowly she sat up in bed and removed his arm from around her waist where it had been resting. She slipped from the bed without waking him and sneaked from the bedroom into the living room looking for her clothes and finding them on the floor by the front door. Last night was a bit of a blur but she remembered seeing the man in the club and Faith leaving her. After that everything got a bit fuzzy but apparently she had drank even more and come back to this guys house for sex. God, Faith would be so amused at this. She scooped up her clothes and turned around to head for the bathroom, that was when saw him standing in the doorway smiling at her. She covered herself from his eyes as best she could using her clothes in her hands and gave him a nervous smile. He was wearing only his boxers and she could see why she had been so attracted to him last night; he was God.

"Are you leaving?" He asked, disappointed that when he had woke up and she had not been there. He felt a little embarrassed about last night but still, even this morning with everything out of his system, he still wanted her.

"I was just going to use the bathroom, if that's okay?", she asked. She didn't know about him but she had never been in this situation before and she didn't know how to act around him.

"Sure, it's just through here." He said and walked back towards the bedroom, opening the door before his bedroom and nodding towards the room to her.

"Thanks." She said and walked into the bathroom so that she was facing him and he couldn't see her bare backside. She closed the door behind her and took a quick look around. He had said it was okay to use the bathroom so she quickly turned on the water in the shower and stepped inside, wanting to refresh herself a little before going home. She thought about the man outside and realised that she hadn't even asked his name, or if she had she'd forgotten it now. Well she couldn't very well go outside and ask him his name now could she. She'd seem like a real slut, sleeping with someone without asking his name. "Great Buffy, good one" she chided herself.

Angel stood on the other side of the door listening to her as she turned on the water. He was debating whether or not to go and join her, but he wouldn't be able to stand it if she turned him away. Last night, despite their states of drunkenness, had been amazing. He couldn't remember when he had last needed someone so much. Now he couldn't decide whether or not he could just let her walk out of here without knowing that he was going to see her again.

He pushed the door open and closed it behind himself quietly. The room was full of steam; he opened the shower door and she squealed in surprise as the rush of cold air hit her skin and she turned around to find him standing there staring at her with a half smile that she found irressistable.

"What are you-" she started to say then stopped when she saw the way he was looking at her, she thought he might devour her at any minute. He stepped forward into the shower and pulled her into his arms kissing her deeply. Her body tingled with electricity at his touch and she couldn't seem to control her actions. She jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist. He pushed her back against the shower wall, pressing against her to hold her up whist he shimmied out of his boxers that were now soaking wet. Once free he lowered her down onto him and began thrusting, each thrust rubbing against her pleasure bud and sending shivers of pleasure through her body.

It wasn't long before he felt the telltale signs of her approaching climax and so he thrust harder to join her and they shouted out their pleasure together.

Before they had time to calm their breathing, the shower door opened and they both turned their heads to see a blonde woman staring at them in disbelief.

"Angel, what are..? how could you do this to me?" Darla said. "Get out!" she screamed at Buffy and Angel lowered her to the floor and gently pushed Darla out from the bathroom and into the hall.

"Oh God." Buffy cursed and quickly threw on her clothes and ran out from the bathroom and through the living room towards the front door.

"Yes that's right, get out." Darla shouted at her as Buffy turned and saw her and Angel standing by the sofa. Angel now had hold of the woman's arms trying to stop her from attacking Buffy, a pair of boxers covering his recently naked body.

"I'm sorry." Buffy muttered and opened the front door.

"Wait!" Angel shouted to her and she turned one last time to see him dripping wet holding back his girlfriend as she screamed, her anger and pain directed at her.

"What have I done?" she whispered to herself as she shut the door and ran to the elevator. As she reached it she ran inside and pressed the button. She saw Angel come running from the apartment begging her to wait and listen to him. His girlfriend was following behind screaming at them both now but Buffy stood still and waited with held breath for the doors to close before he reached her.

They closed just in time and she let out a sigh of relief, "This is why I don't have one night stands." she said to herself as she waited for the elevator to reach the bottom floor. Once it did, she quickly left the building and almost ran up a few blocks from the apartment building until she saw a pay phone.She dialed in the well-remembered number and waited for an answer, "Faith, can you come and get me?"

Faith got to Buffy in record time, she could tell that her friend was upset and hoped that she had been alright after she had left her last night, "Are you okay, what's wrong, did he-" She couldn't form one question at a time. She was panicking, thinking that maybe the guy had taken advantage of her friend in the state she had been in and that it was all her fault; she never should have left Buffy alone last night. Gunn had assured her that his friend was a good guy but she didn't know Gunn so how could she trust him. She'd been chiding herself all morning for leaving Buffy alone, especially after she called her place and got no answer.

"I'm okay, just a little out of it." Buffy sniffled.

"What happened? I take it this is his place?" place nodded to the large apartment building outside the car.

"No, I walked a few blocks to find the phone."

"Why couldn't he bring you home? or why couldn't you use his phone?" Faith demanded wanting to get all the information before she found out where this guy lived and went around to cut off his penis.

"We were kind of interrupted this morning, by...his girlfriend, she came in and caught us in the shower together. I didn't even know he had a girlfriend, I don't even know what his name is." Buffy shouted and thumped her fist on the dashboard. "Remind me never to go out drinking with you again."

"Okay calm down. Look, you were drunk, it was a one night stand, just forget about it now; it's his problem. You were innocent; you didn't know he was involved with someone. He knew exactly what he was getting himself into so let him sort out the problem now." Faith advised, she was going to have some serious topics to discuss when she got home.

"But that poor woman, you should have seen her Faith. She was so upset; she kept screaming at me and trying to attack me. He had to hold her back to keep her away from me! And when I left, he tried to follow me and called me back. I just feel so bad but it was such an amazing night, at least what I can remember. And this morning, in the shower..." Buffy said, calming down now that she thought of what it had been like to be with him.

"Well sorry B but it's over, that's what a one night stand is, even an amazing one. You both go back to your lives after having one fun night. Besides, do you really want to be with a guy like that? Someone who cheats on his girlfriend and takes women back to his apartment that he only met the night before in a nightclub?Once a cheater, always a cheater. You need to forget about him now. We just won't go back to that club for a while, there's plenty more in town." Faith said and pulled the car away from the cub heading toward Buffy's house.

"Take my mind off things, tell me how your night went after you left?" Buffy asked, leaning her head back and closing her eyes. She had a hell of a headache and just wanted some aspirin so she could go to sleep.

"It went great as usual. Went back to his, had a great fuck and came home about 3am. That boy gave me a real workout, he's got stamina like you wouldn't believe." Faith said thinking back and hoping that Buffy couldn't tell that she really liked the guy. They had spent an amazing night together but not at his place, he had gone back to hers and he was still there now waiting for her in bed. It was the first time she had ever brought a guy back to her place. She hadn't known why she had done it last night, but when she woke with him this morning she was glad she had. She just didn't want to tell Buffy because she would make a big deal out of it and Faith herself didn't know what it meant yet. She'd tell Buffy when she knew what was
going on.

They pulled up outside Buffy's house, "Thanks for coming to get me." Buffy said giving her a quick hug before climbing out of the blue Citroen. Faith rolled down her window and watched Buffy walk up the path.

"Later B." She shouted and drove away back to her place, excited at the idea that he was going to be spending the day with her but wondering at the same time what had suddenly come over her.

"Hey Angel, man you look bad, take it you had a bad night?" Gunn said as he walked into his friends apartment and sat down next to Angel on the sofa.

"Not really." Angel replied, not wanting to talk about what had happened.

"Well I had a great night, and morning, and afternoon, and evening for that matter." Gunn said smiling.

"Yeah I can tell, chipper isn't the word I'd use to describe you right now." Angel said sarcastically.

"Okay, you're bringing me down, what happened?"

"Nothing at first, it was great. We stayed at the club until closing then came back here. We...were together, she stayed the night and we slept through until lunch. When she got up she took a shower and I joined her and before we knew it Darla was in the bathroom screaming at us and trying to attack her. I had to physically hold Darla back to protect her but she ran away and I didn't get chance to explain. I don't know her name and now I'm never going to see her again. I can't help feeling that I'm going to miss out on something great because of Darla's 'perfect' timing." He was getting more and more frustrated as he relayed the story for Gunn.

"Man that's bad, what was Darla doing here? I thought you two were over for good, she just kept playing you." Gunn said, confused as to why Darla would have shown up. Her and Angel finished months ago after trying to reconcile and finding that it just didn't work.

"She said she wanted to try and convince me to try again; she kept acting like I cheated on her. I haven't even seen her for three months now and we haven't been together for a lot longer than that. We broke up because all she wanted me for was a bed partner. At least I managed to get her spare key from her before she left; I'm just worrying that she made extra copies so she can come around whenever she wants. That means I'll have to get the locks changed again." Angel sighed and covered his eyes with his hands rubbing them and trying to wake himself up.

"The blonde's name is Buffy." Gunn said.

"What? How do you know?" Angel asked.

"Remember the brown haired chick I went home with last night? It was her friend, she calls her B but her real name is Buffy, not sure of the last name though."

"Do you have your girl's number? Can I have it to call Buffy?" Angel asked, suddenly his spirits picking up at the thought of maybe having a chance to explain to her what had happened and who Darla was.

"Sorry I don't have it man. I gave her my number but if she calls I'll pass on the message and see if I can get a number for you." Gunn said. He felt bad about lying to his friend but after Faith had returned and told him everything that had happened he had explained to her and they had decided that they shouldn't say anything to their friends just yet. Faith was overprotective of Buffy and Gunn didn't think she believed him about the whole Darla situation. And since Gunn wanted her to trust him, when she'd asked him not to say anything just yet, he'd agreed.

"Don't forget Gunn, it's important." Angel said, "Look my head's killing. I'm going back to bed for a while, feel free to hang out if you want to." With that he got up from the sofa and went to bed leaving his friend to surf through his satellite channels alone.

Gunn wished he was still at Faiths house but they had decided that their friends needed them and so they had spent the day together and just after dinner they had gone their separate ways. Faith had promised to call him later that night and they were going to go out on a date. He really liked the girl; she was sexy as hell, had spunk and was witty. He doubted he would ever be bored with her and he couldn't wait to see her again. He just hoped that this thing with their friends was sorted out soon; he didn't know how much longer he could continue to lie to his friend.
