"He probably won't even come, Buffy." Willow tried to sound reassuring.
"Yeah, and if he does, whatever..Will, I am so tired of worrying about this." I sighed and looked for signs that Josh had come home last night.
"Alan Rupert!!! Put that down!" Willow yelled, as I took the phone off my ear.
"Damn Will, now I need a hearing aide." I managed a laugh while I stretched, and concluded that Josh had to work at the office all night.
"Sorry, the terrible two's, and Tara is at the store, and...dammit! Alan! Buffy, can I call you back?" I heard something crash in her background.
"Yea, good luck.bye."
"Thanks, bye."
I hung the phone up, and sat on the edge of the bed. No note about how he had gotten in late and had to get back to the office early. He didn't come home. The house was quiet, Kennedy and Dawn were both at work, Spike was downstairs probably sleeping, and Rona was in her room sleeping. I padded downstairs and poured a glass of juice. I looked up as I heard the front door open and close. My eyes darted into the living room, waiting to see who it was.
"Buffy?" Josh walked around the corner and into the kitchen, in the same clothes he had left in yesterday.
"Hey, late night?"
"Uh, yeah, what are you doing up so early?" He walked over to me and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Willow called, so I was talking to her, and then I couldn't go back to sleep."
"Oh, you look so beautiful in the morning." He smiled sweetly and walked back over to me, and kissed me down my neck.
"Mmm hmmm." I purred in his ear as he kissed around my collar bone. He had a strange smell on him, kind of sweet. "New cologne?"
"No, huh?" He stopped what he was doing and looked at me.
"You smell sweet, like."
"Oh, I had a jelly doughnut on the way here, and some squirted on me." He gave me a nervous smile, and then continued his kissing. "That was some powerful doughnut." I ran my fingers down his back and slowly pulled them back up to his neck, carrying the bottom of his shirt with them.
Josh pushed his hands under my tank top and began caressing my breasts softly. I sighed as the world started spinning slowly around me. I loved it when he did that.
"Hey.hey, Rona is upstairs and Spike is in the basement.we can't do this here." I breathed into his ear.
"This is our house.we can do it where we want." He slowly lifted my tank, and licked his way to my nipples. They hardened quickly and my heart skipped.
"Let's go upstairs, we can be quiet." I stood up, took his hand, and led him up stairs.
Once in the room, I took off Josh's shirt and began to work on his pants. Josh was sliding my shorts down past my hips and working his fingers down. I loved making love to him in the morning. Soon he was inside me, and our bodies were like butter together. I kept shushing him, because his moans and groans seemed to boom. He kept shushing me, because I couldn't help but let out a few loud sighs. And then our thunder came together, and he lay on top of me for a moment, our bodies glistening with sweat.
I stroked his hair and kissed his forehead, but he seemed to quiet, even for just after sex.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" I asked him, arranging his face so his eyes met mine.
"Nothing...you..I have to go back to work."
"Ok, now you seem distant." I sat up a bit and looked around for my tank top.
"No, I just have someone.something I have to do. This case is making me crazy, but if I can win this, the partners could never refuse my raise." He stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
"It's ok, as long as you have your head on for the wedding, its ok." I smiled and redressed, and opened the window.
After his shower, Josh put on a new suit and headed out the door. He was in a hurry, and he forgot to kiss me goodbye. I always felt lost without that kiss. But I dismissed it and went on about my daily routine.
Rona woke up about an hour after Josh left and she came into the kitchen looking for something to eat.
"Good morning sunshine." I poured her a glass of milk and handed her a toasted bagel.
"Thanks. You're awful chipper this morning. Must be that morning sex." Rona said nonchalantly.
"Huh? We didn't..." I almost choked on my coffee.
"Yea, young, not stupid." Rona smiled as she pulled her dreads back into a low ponytail.
"Guess not." I said pouring out what was left in the coffee pot. "So you ready?"
"Yea, let me go change into my workout clothes, and I'll be right out." She stood up and ran up to her room.
I went to the backyard, plugged up the stereo, and began to stretch. Rona joined me and then we started our training. She was strong, and agile, and a great Slayer. As we trained, we talked about the wedding, and she was always trying to convince me to become a watcher. I always declined, and she would sigh. She then went into her rants about having a bad feeling about Joshua and she didn't like him very much. That always made me a bit angry, but she was at least civil to him when he was at home, so I couldn't complain.
"You know, I don't think he will come to the wedding." Rona blurted out as we were meditating.
"Who?" I pretended not to know.
"Kennedy told me about her mistake. And from what I have heard about him, he will be sitting at home brooding too much, or worry about that Cordelia chick to care." Rona was always blunt with her words, and sometimes they cut like a knife.
"We are supposed to be quiet. We are being quiet and concentrating." I breathed in heavily through my nose, and let out a sigh through my mouth.
"Concentrating on the light, or concentrating on certain vampires?" Rona laughed to herself.
"Shut it."
"Yeah, and if he does, whatever..Will, I am so tired of worrying about this." I sighed and looked for signs that Josh had come home last night.
"Alan Rupert!!! Put that down!" Willow yelled, as I took the phone off my ear.
