"Hey hey hey, get out of bed," Cordy said to Buffy and Angel, who were

wrapped in each others arms. They both moaned not wanting to get up.

      "What is it?" Angel asked

      "Someone helpless person needs your help....Ohh and they sound like

they can pay to," Cordy said happily

      "Fine," Angel sat up in bed but Buffy stayed laying and shut her

eyes. Angel looked down at her and then back up at Cordy. He signaled for

her to go away. She obeyed. Angel slowly got out of bed and tip-toed across

the room trying not to wake Buffy. He walked over to his dresser but about

half-way there he stubbed his toe on one of his shoes he had left out and

since Angel had pretty big feet, his shoes were sort of heavy and it hurt. He

let out a cry but quickly covered his mouth. He slowly looked in Buffy's

direction almost afraid to look. He sighed in relief when Buffy's eyes were

still closed. He finished is way to the dresser. He opened the 1st drawer and

began digging around.

     Back on the bed Buffy opened one eye and was watching Angel's not so

graceful movements. She laughed to herself. Every time he looked over at her

her eyes shot closed and then after she felt his eyes leave she would slowly

crack them open again.

     Angel gathered his clothes and then went into his bathroom and shut

the door behind him. He sat his clothes on the self next to the toilet and

turned on the shower. It fog over in the bathroom as he climbed in. He took

a bottle of shampoo and squeezed some out into his hands and began to

massage his head. He heard the door open, "Buffy?" he asked not knowing who

it was.

     "Yeah Angel it's me. Sorry I really had to pee, I didn't think you'd

mind," Buffy replied.

     "Oh...um...no I don't mind if you don't," Angel answered a little

shocked. Buffy had changed a lot from the little girl that covered herself

the first night they had made love to the woman Buffy who didn't care if he

saw her naked or if he saw her going to the bathroom. He rinsed the shampoo

out of his hair just as the toilet flushed. He decided to skip the rest and

turned off the water and got out of the shower. He wrapped a towel around

his waist.

     "Where are you going?" Buffy asked very innocently

     "Someone called, helpless," Angel replied but then remembered their

meeting with the Lorne today and he quickly added, "but when I get back I

want to take you out."

     "What for?" Buffy asked

     "Just to spend some time together," he had to lie to her, he didn't

want to tell her that he was taking her to see someone that could read her

and tell him if he was the father of her unborn child. He would just

convince her to sing and then the Lorne could tell him if he was the father

or not, then he could tell Buffy about the forgotten day....or maybe ask the

Powers-That-Be if they could let her remember.

     "Aww Angel that's so sweet of you," she replied, "I'll be ready by the

time you get back."

     "You can take a shower, but I gotta go now," he leaned down and kissed

Buffy, they were both surprised by his actions. He quickly left shutting the

door behind him. As Buffy got in the shower she couldn't help but smile.

Angel was smiling to as he left with Cordy and Doyle to go help someone.....
