Part 10 – Bathtime
Cordy started the water in the bathroom into the large old fashion tub. She loved the fact that it had those dragon claw feet and that it was deep. She adjusted the water to the right temperature and then poured in the bubble bath. Yawning a bit she was tired from the day. Not wanting at all to go to school tomorrow. She couldn't wait until she was done with High School and start her real life. One far away from Sunnyhell, maybe she would go back east to school. Boston was nice and she was sure she could get into Harvard or Boston University. She would need to do well on the SAT's this coming weekend. Have to put up some quality study time, and avoid any bait duties for Miss Likes to Fight.
Cordelia stripped out of the cheerleading uniform and stepped into the warm water. Slipping in her body immediately relaxed. The gentle smell of citrus of her bubble bath. It was pretty mild as she really didn't like to smell like fake flowers and preferred the fruity smells. She sponged her body and cleaned away the stress of the day and really stress of the past hour. She need Angel to start getting back to normal. But what was normal for a vampire. Well biting and drinking and killing. Maybe she would settle for just less crazy and not normal. Heck who wants to be normal anyway. She rested her head against the back of the tub and closed her eyes.
Angel took the stairs two at a time. He had forgotten that the bedroom was probably as cold as the rest of the mansion. He had an arm load of fire wood and figured he should warm up the bedroom for her when she got out of the tub. He wanted to make up for being a lunatic earlier. He set the wood down at the fire place and started making another fire.
Cordy, got up out of the tub. She wrapped a towel around her body and pulled the plug to empty the tub. She moved to the mirror and wiped the steam away. She felt warm and clean, her two favorite things. She plugged in the blow dryer and started drying her hair, not a good thing to sleep in wet hair after being out in the cold for so long. She worked the brush through her long hair and felt the warmth of the air drying her hair. She liked the mansion, it was not as modern as her house, but it was nice in its own way. She finished brushing out her hair and then took her red toothbrush and started brushing her teeth. She was glad that Angel's was a different color. The last thing she wanted was vampire cooties.
She turned around and realized that her robe was not hanging on the back of the door, shoot...where had she left it. Cordy unplugged the hairdryer an and set it on the shelf. She was thinking...where had she left her robe, or better yet her pj's. Must be on Angel's chair on the other side of the bedroom.
Cordelia opened the bathroom door and saw that the room was filled with the glow of fire light. It was warm and toasty in the bedroom. She smiled, her vampire had done this for her. Her vampire.
She walked over to the chair, spying her pj's but no robe and picked them up and turned around to go change in the bathroom.
Upon turning around she ran right into Angel's chest.
"Eek!!!!" Cordy let out as she bumped into the vampire. She self consciously moved one hand over the top of her towel, to make sure it had stayed covering her up, at the same time dropping her pj's.
Angel quickly bend down to pick them up at the same time Cordy started to do the same. This gave him a great view of the top of her chest. Mmmmm
"Here let me" He said, quickly picking up the soft clothes from the floor where she dropped them.
"ummm thanks, you startled me" Cordelia said as he stood back up and handed her her night clothes. He was so close to her, she felt surrounded by him.
"I wanted to make sure the bedroom was warm enough for you, after being in the rain for so long." Angel said, moving a lock of hair behind her ear, gently grazing the top of her earlobe with the move.
Things seem to stand still forever. His hand resting on the back of her head.
If the bedroom got any warmer, she was gonna melt, Cordelia thought.
"Excuse me, I am just going to go..well get...well less naked." Cordelia stepped around him and nearly ran to the bathroom and closed the door.
She rested her back against the door. Her heart was racing a little at Angel's innocent touch. Her body never reacted that way when Xander touched her casually. Wonder what would happen if he kissed me?
She quickly changed into her pajamas and dropped her wet towel on the bathroom floor. Cordelia took a deep breath, and opened the bathroom door, to face the vampire on the other side.
"Well, I am gonna get into bed, I have school tomorrow and it is really late." Cordelia said. First walking over to the windows and pulling the heavy curtains across the glass. Waking up next to a pile of dust would be bad. Then she moved over to Angel who had taken the chair next to the fireplace.
He looked relaxed as he watched her move through his bedroom. He was a thousand times calmer with her in his bedroom.
"Do you have to go tomorrow?" Angel asked, he knew the answer, but wanted to try anyway.
"Well after being out in the rain, I might come down with a cold and have to stay home." Cordelia thought that it might not be such a good idea leaving him alone all day. Plus, after being out it the rain it was plausible she could have a cold, and nothing was due on Monday.
"Cordy are you sick?" Angel asked full of concern. Humans were fragile things, and he didn't want anything to happen to his Cordelia.
"No I am fine, I just think I can safely miss school tomorrow to hang with you." She bent down and kissed him on the forehead. Feeling his cool skin against her lips. "But I am still gonna go to bed now, I am so tired I am going to collapse if I don't."
Angel looked up at her, he wanted to pull her down into his lap and feel his lips touch her warm lips, feel her warm tongue in his mouth. "I am going to sit and read for a while, then I'll come to bed." Angel said, willing his body to calm down. Seeing Cordelia in a towel had stirred his blood.
"Why don't you get changed for bed and read there, I will sleep better knowing you aren't wandering around this big place by yourself all night." Cordelia wanted to make sure he had really calmed down, and sulking downstairs meant that she couldn't make sure he was calm.
Angel bit back a smile, a smile of joy that his girl wanted him in bed.
It was good to be back from Hell.
