I'm half way done with the next chapter so it should be up in about an hour...im trying to write this between making dinner for my family and runnning to my grandmother every fifteen minutes so bare with me!

The next morning Buffy woke to an empty bed and a note on her night stand.

I'll see you soon.

I love you.

~Angel

P.S. You are scared of your brother.

Buffy couldn't keep the smile off her face. She was just putting the note in a box when the door opened.

"Still collecting all the notes huh?"

Buffy smiled at the red head. "I guess I can stop hiding them under my bed. What time is it?"

"A little after 9. Giles is working on getting a hold of Mr. Lewis. Oz is surfing the net for info. Xander and Anya are down at the beach. And I am here to see if you're up."

Buffy yawned. "I'm up." She grabbed her clothes and started for the door. "Where's Chris?"

"Cordelia." Buffy groaned before slamming the bathroom door.

By noon she was going crazy. She felt like she was 16 again. All she could do all day was think about Angel. He was the only thing on her mind, and she was sure she was driving her friends crazy. Trying to distract herself from her pathetic-ness she was attempting to review the exhibit's travel logs. After about an hour she gave up. She quickly grabbed her keys mumbled an "I'm going to Angel's." and was gone.

The drive to his place gave her time to clear her head. Although she never thought she would have so much trouble trying not to focus. It seemed the more she tried to steer away from thoughts of Angel the more her thoughts became depressing. By the time she parked her car she had thoroughly thought of 34 scenarios where Angel would cheat on her, dump her, disappear, or die. One scenario had all of the above in it. Shaking her head and mentally berating herself for her foolishness she made her way to the building.

Using the stairs she was able to sneak in. She open his bedroom door to see he was sleeping. She couldn't help the smirk as she thought about how many times she had seen him like this. Asleep, peaceful, and shirtless. She quickly decided she hadn't seen it enough and thanked whoever invented camera phones.

After snapping a sexy new background she quietly crawled onto the bed. She had managed to get right next to him before he grabbed her and rolled them so he was pinning her to the bed. For a moment Buffy thought she had actually startled the vamp until she saw the grin on his face.

Giggling she kissed him, "You know I don't mind this at all but I think the gang might think otherwise if we release your not-too-friendly alter ego."

Angel released her, "When are they all gonna show up?"

"Later. Sometime. I think. When did you know I was here?"

"Later? And I woke up when you first sat on the bed."

"I didn't really ask when they were coming over. I grabbed my keys and I was gone."

Angel stood and let the sheet fall to the floor. Buffy was enthralled by the site of him in just his black silk boxers, still it would have been better if he had stuck with that habit of sleeping naked. She quickly pulled out her phone and snapped a picture. Maybe I can convince him some habits need not die.

Angel turned at the sound of a click. Eyeing her phone, "Did you just take a picture?"

The slayer blushed before jamming her phone back in her pocket. "No?"

"Right, well I'm going to go take a shower why don't you go call Giles."

Angel walked back into his room just in time to see a certain Blond going through his drawers. He watched as she pulled out a sketch pad and started flipping through the pages. He watched the smile spread across her lips.

Buffy gently traced the images on the page. She marveled at the skill he possessed. "You always make me look so pretty."

Angel sat down next to her, "I don't do anything. You're always that beautiful."

She took one last look before putting them back. "Giles was able to get a hold of that Lewis dude. He said that he could get us a location and send us the information on the dig site sometime today."

"Well that was easier than expected."

Buffy gave him a quizzical look, "What do you mean?"

"Well most archaeologists wouldn't give that information up so easily. They tend to keep their sites secret. They don't want anyone else to cash in on their success. So that bears the question: Why did he volunteer the information?"

Buffy nodded slowly, "I'm gonna go call Giles."

Angel shook his head slightly, "No need I'm sure Giles already has questions about it." He quickly realized the mistake in his words when she tensed.

"Are you saying I'm stupid?"

"No. Of course not. I'm just saying that someone like Giles would probably be curious as to why Jacob was so lax with his information."

She quickly stood and gathered her keys, "But someone like me couldn't right? I'm just not smart enough to understand that right?!"

Angel chased after her, "NO! No, that's not it at all. I just wasn't thi-"

"Oh so now you have to think about what you say before you talk to me. After all you wouldn't want to let on that I'm an idiot! Well FINE!"

She slammed the door to the stair case leaving a bewildered Angel staring after her. It took Angel a few minutes before it sank in. "What just happened?"

OOOOO! Angel's in trouble! lol. Yeah anyways....next chappy on its way!
