Heya all my readers, which is like 4 people. If there are more of you can you please review so I know how many, otherwise I'll stop writing due to lack of demand. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chap, it is an R rating though, and give me helpful suggestions.

Also evry1 should read 'Meet the family' by silvery stars because she has even less reviews than me! Also her story is amazing.

Chapter 3

Buffy walked into the centre of the room as Angel shut the door behind them. It was dark despite the warm sunshine outside, the blinds had not been opened, and the only light came from a small lamp that created a soft glow to their surroundings.

They stood for a while, watching each other, waiting to see who would make the first move. There was silence in the room, the only noises that could be heard were from the early morning traffic of commuters rushing to work. Suddenly a police siren cut through the bustle of noise.

It was like a signal to the two people facing each other in the room. They walked towards each other, lips touching, and began kissing fervently. There was urgency in their movements, hands groping and lips devouring, neither could feel any emotion except need, and wanting.

Buffy's hands pushed at Angel's coat, forcing it off his shoulders and onto the floor. His hands slid up her back, under her top, lifting it over her head, caressing her as he slowly undressed her. Mouths locked, they sank to the floor slowly, pushing hard against each other. Passion and animal feeling ruled them, neither had a thought in their head.

They made love five times on the floor, their bodies writhing rhythmically on the wooden boards, and then four more times on the couch, before they moved to the bedroom. There they lay on Buffy's bed, worshipping each other with fingers and tongues until late into the following night.

Through the blackness, Buffy felt something dragging her back to consciousness. She looked up sleepily to see Angel staring down at her, smiling fondly.

'We should talk, its nearly morning,' he said, softly.

'I'm too sleepy to talk,' she said, rubbing her eyes.

He pressed his lips firmly onto hers. She slowly wriggled out of her curled up position and placed her arms around his neck.

'Seriously though, we really need to talk,' he said pulling away gently. 'We shouldn't just start up a relationship again, its been almost ten years since we were actually going out. I love you Buffy, I'm just not sure if we should just jump into this straight away.'

'Why d'you have to go spoil everything like usual. You're right though, we do need to think about this, I love you too but you have a job in Cleveland now, you can't just abandon everything for me.'

'Exactly. There are a few things that I've always known I wanted to do when I became human, things back in Europe, I need to sort my life out, now that I have one.'

They both sat back, thoughtfully. After a few minutes Buffy pulled herself up into a sitting position so that the sheets fell away from her naked form.

'Remember that conversation we had, right before Sunnydale was destroyed? The one where I said that I wasn't cookies yet, that I was cookie dough but I wasn't quite baked yet?'

'Yes I remember, it was a cute analogy, slightly odd,' replied Angel, smiling.

Buffy's face straightened, her voice became serious, 'I'm not sure that I'm baked yet, still. I said it would be a long time coming, I think I was right because I feel almost ready now, just not quite yet. I want you to stay so badly, but for now it might be better if you just go and do the things you need to do. Maybe when you get back, I'll be done. I love you so much, but I've had such bad problems with guys, including you, in the past and this is one that I want to be right, and at the right time. I want you to come back, but I need just a little bit more time to sort myself out, before being with you.'

'I understand. It's so sudden and I'm not sure what to do with myself quite yet anyway. But remember Buffy, if one day you do want me to stay, I'll stay. I'll be ready when you are. I love you more than I have ever loved anything, I will always come back for you.'

'I know,' she replied, 'that's why I'm asking you to do this for me, and for you. I know you'll come back, just make sure it's not too long, Ok?'

'Ok', he said, and she snuggled up to him. 'so when are you going to leave?' she asked.

'Soon. I should go now before being with you makes me want to stay and I forget about everything else.'

'I don't want you to go..' she said sadly, 'but you're right. You should catch an early morning flight out of LA.'

Angel slid to the bottom of the bed.

'No last good bye?' Buffy said, sticking out her lip.

'You've had enough good byes for one night, haven't you? Plus, aren't I supposed to be leaving now?'

'Yeah, yeah,' she said as he gathered up his clothes from around the apartment and began putting them on. When fully clothed, he walked back to her and kissed her gently on the lips,

'Good bye,' he said softly, and walked over to the door. He turned back and gazed at her for a minute before leaving the apartment, slowly shutting the door after himself.

Buffy sat for a long while, staring at the space in front of the door where Angel had last stood, her small figure wrapped in the large sheet, her expression sad and lost.
