Chapter 9: Morning After
He whispered, "How was it pet?" Buffy grinned, "You were amazing William."
William hesitated a second then said, "I guess you didn't have to strip but you and I made love. Think it's better than stripping?"
Buffy laughing at the irony of her being so nervous about stripping for him and had instead just jumped into bed with him.
He asked cocking his head to one side, "What's so funny pet?"
She shared it with him and he laughed too whispering, "Do you have anywhere you have to be tonight pet?"
Buffy shook her head knowing the other two girls were planning to go home when they were finished and weren't planning to meet up with her until tomorrow.
She snuggled up close to him as she whispered, "I'll stay the night."
Buffy had no idea that William had vowed to her as she lay sleeping that he would find a way to save her from the club and have her stay with him forever.

Buffy and William made love several times through the night and while Buffy slept in the morning William went out to get her breakfast. When Buffy woke up to a kiss from William she stared in front of her at the tray that was made.
On the corner of the tray was a tiny pink stuffed pig.
She grinned at it and whispered, "For me?"
William nodded and said, "Something to always remember me by."
Buffy frowned as she thought he meant to never see her again, 'For the best probably. He could never fall in love with someone he had a one night stand with. Oh god I had a one night stand!'
William watched her emotions and said, "Let's eat shall we?"
Buffy nodded and felt William crawl in bed beside her and picked up the second fork on the tray pulling his plate a little closer and took a bit of an omelet.
Buffy looked down and took a bit of her omelet realizing it was the best omelet she had ever had and told William as much.
He smiled at her and explained how he hoped to be a chef someday, that or a writer.
Buffy smiled and said, "I'm sure you will great at either. The poems you recited to me while we made love were beautiful and this food is perfect."
William smiled at her and they continued to eat their breakfast.

After breakfast they made love again and Buffy slept knowing that she could sleep until around 2 pm but then she would have to leave.
She woke up before William did and snuck out of bed to get dressed. William rubbed his eyes sleepily before whispering, "Have to work tonight pet?"
Buffy nodded knowing she was not going to be working tonight.
She was planning to head back to the bar, took her belongings with her since last night had been paid in advance and leave the place with only a note behind.
Last night had been so unbelievably perfect, it made her long for something better than she had. She didn't deserve William but she vowed someday she would deserve someone like him.
She would find a legit job somewhere and she would make enough money to leave this all behind. She wouldn't lower herself to strip for a living but surely there was more out there than this.
William not knowing what was going through her mind said, "Last night and this was the most perfect night of my life. Can I call you sometime and we can do this again? I'll stop by the club tonight and see you if you don't mind."
Buffy replied, "Sounds good. I"ll be there, 5 pm. to 2 am." Knowing she wouldn't really be there.
William stood out of the bed still naked and leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss handing her the stuffed pig saying, "Don't forget him nor me."
Buffy bit her lip to fight back the tears promising, "I won't Wiliam. I promise."
As Buffy slipped out of the room, William dreamed of how he would see her again tonight and hopefully convince her that she didn't need such a job and that he could pay for both of them to survive.
Perhaps he could open a restaurant where she could work at and would be paid well and never again have to work at a place like this. But this was not meant to be.
