Chapter 3
Giles had been sitting on the couch thinking about what he going to do. After awhile he fell asleep. He was awaken by the sound of Buffy's screams.
"GILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GILES!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!!"
Giles ran up the stairs, into Buffy's room and immediately gathered her into his arms. "Shh, calm down. I'm here."
"Oh Giles, I thought I had dreamed your being here. And I got scared when you weren't here." She sobbed.
"I'm not going anywhere." Giles said.
"You've said that before." Buffy said with a smile.
"I have?" he looked at her.
"Yeah. When Quentin Travers fired you. You said 'I'm not going anywhere.'" She recalled. "And you meant it then too."
He pulled her closed to him and said, "Yes, I did and I do."
"Giles, would you stay with me the rest of the night? I don't want to wake up all wigged out again." She asked.
"Well, of course. Mustn't have you 'wigged'" he replied. He went and got a chair to sit near the bed.
"No, Giles. Would you lay next to me? I just want you to hold me." She said quietly.
"B-B-Buffy, I'm not sure about that. It's not a-appropriate." Giles stammered.
"Please Giles. It would really help." She looked at him pleadingly.
"Are you sure?" he looked at her.
"Yes. Please." She said.
"Very well." He said as he began to pull the covers down and get into bed.
"Giles, why don't you get out of some of your clothes. Be comfortable. You need sleep too." She told him.
God help me. thought Giles. "Alright." He stripped down to his t-shirt and boxers. And got under the covers with Buffy. She scooted back against him and he put his arms around her. Does she realize what she is putting me through? he asked himself. Trying not to notice how wonderful she smelled and how good it felt to hold her close to him.
Buffy was asleep in no time.
Giles wasn't as lucky. He just laid there with his arms around Buffy with his his head against her hair. Oh Buffy. I hope I'll be able to help you through this. He slightly tightened his hold on Buffy. She sighed and leaned further into Giles. May the Gods help me!
