Chapter 14
Willow shifted groggily in the bed. Her head shifted and the right side of it hit the pillow and she groaned.
Angel walked into the room, a tray in his hands. Setting it on the side of the bed, he lightly sat on the bed watching her till her eyes fluttered open and she looked up.
The sight of a bare-chested Angel by her when she woke made her smile till she tried to sit up. Angel stacked the pillows and took her arms lightly to help her to sit up. She groaned and rubbed her eyes with her palms and Angel had to smile.
"Good morning." He broke the silence.
"Mmm, I think that's an opinion." He had to chuckle again. That's when her thoughts hit her. Bare-chested Angel by her side. "Oh Gods! We didn't ... you know."
"No, Willow. We would have but I knew you really didn't want to." She thought about that. No, she really did want to. She just would have done some daring things under the influence. She placed her right hand to her temple, palm flat against it.
"Here." he handed her a tall glass of water and dropped two aspirin in her open hand. She threw the two pills to the back of her throat and took a sip of water. "I thought you might want something to eat." He hinted to the tray. "I wanted to toast the bread but you need to absorb as much alcohol as you can so, plain.
Willow looked down at the tray and her eyes just stared at the tray. She wasn't even really paying attention to what was on it. After a couple minutes she snapped out of it.
"Sorry." She said sheepishly, looking up at him then back down. "Thank you."
"You okay?" She looked up at him surprised. "It's just, you seem distressed. Like you have something on you're mind."
"Oh, that. I think it's just the hangover... It'll pass, promise."
"Are you sure?" He tilted her face up by the chin to look at him. "You know I'm here to listen if you need someone."
"Yeah, I know. I'm sure. Thanks anyway Angel." She turned to the plate of sliced fruit and started to pick at it as she ate.
"Well, I'll leave you alone." Angel went to get up and Willow held him back.
"Don't go." He looked at her confused. "I just don't want you to go." He sat back down and curled up behind her, holding her as she ate.
