Chapter 19

Buffy sat on her bed for hours, wondering how on earth she would be able to pull off staying far away from Angel as much as possible. She was determined, oh yes, to make sure she would fight off her urges but she even knew deep down inside that she wanted to stop fighting it. It was weakening her immensely how much she fought her feelings, to stay cool and collective and not show any feelings that she really felt for him despite everything.

Flashes of Angel with Darla suddenly appeared in her head and made her think twice. She knew better. How could she let herself go let loose for a moment? No matter what, she vowed to herself she would never let Angel have victory. Never.

As Buffy was packing her bags she took a step back from all her belongings to see if she didn't miss anything. Nope, she sighed. At least when she was packing she had something to do and was occupied so that it would keep her away from the uncomfortable thoughts she had for Angel. She decided to pack it in for bed since tomorrow was the day they left for Hawaii.

It was a dreary morning as all the students woke up and got ready to leave for Hawaii. As everyone boarded on the plane and got to their seats to Buffy and Angel's horror they found out that they both had seats together by the window. Both silently groan to the fact that not only would they have to share the same room for the next month but even had to spend even more time on the stupid plane.

As both of them approached their seats Angel decided to ask

"Do you want the window seat or the latter?"

Buffy, surprised by his polite manners decided to take the window seat. Both sat stiff as they waited for takeoff. Angel, knowing that he couldn't stand the tension in the air between them decided to call it truce.

"Look Buffy, I know we've had our rough patches and it gets even better (sarcastically said) that we're both put in the same room together for a whole month. Can we just... just get along? It'll be a lot easier on the both of us if we can get along or at least be civil okay?"

Buffy couldn't help but see the sincerity in his eyes which made her heart melt. Yes she decided, at least for this month she would try to put her differences aside for the sake of her sanity.

"Okay. Just one thing though." Buffy replied.

Angel responded, "Which is?"

"What you do in our room with other girls is none of my business but just make sure you notify be in advance or give me fair warning. I don't want to walk in something I honestly don't want to witness."

Angel was stunned and shocked for a bit that she even thought he would do such a thing. He was also hurt that she expected him to run off and fuck girls or something. He hid how much pain he felt quickly and coolly responded,

"Just as long as you do the same for me."

He couldn't help but have flashes of Buffy with another man in the room they would be sharing and he couldn't help but feel his blood boil to a rapid pulse. He knew he wouldn't be able to stand someone else being with Buffy alone someone touching her and if he ever did witness it he knew he would beat the bloody shit out of him.

They both sat in silence with things still left unsaid until Buffy tired from the early wake slowly fell asleep. As she fell deeper into her sleep she unconsciously lowered her head to Angel's shoulder which caught him off guard. As he looked at her sleeping form he couldn't help but noticed how beautiful she was even when she was asleep. She looked so peaceful and god her scent was so intoxicating. He let her scent fill his senses with pleasure as he slowly drifted off to sleep alongside with her head. Before he fell into a deep sleep he couldn't help but let out a sigh, calling out Buffy's name ... fully knowing that what he has wanted for so long was so close yet so desperately far.

Couple of hours later

Both of them jolted back to life when they heard chattering and noise that made them realize they landed. As they both saw their positions and intimacy with each other they both quickly averted their sleeping form and sat up straight. Both got their bags silently and walked to where the crowd was forming in front of Mr. Giles.

"Settle down class. Yes I know you're all excited. First we will put our belongings in the hotel where the staff will place our belongings into your hotel suites. I will like to warn a pair of you though that there is one suite that only has one King size bed since all of the double bed rooms were taken. I hope the pair of you will be mature about it and share or make a compromise about this situation. Otherwise everyone follow me where we have a jam packed day full of site seeing."

As they walked to the luxurious hotel they were staying in to drop of their stuff Buffy couldn't help remember what Mr. Giles said about the one room with the King size bed. She couldn't help but laugh at the ironic situation if she and Angel out of all the students that came got that one room. No, she thought, life couldn't get that much worse.

After a long exhausting day of travelling to various locations along the coastal area of Hawaii both Buffy and Angel headed towards their room. Angel walked in the room and couldn't help moan "Oh god."

Buffy, curious to what he was talking about walked into the room and to her disbelieving eyes saw the huge King size bed with the terrace and the massive room. Of all rooms, she just had to be stuck with Angel in this one.

As Buffy closed the door she looked at Angel who was looking back at her and finally managed to say

"Well... isn't this just dandy?"

"Look, Buffy I can take the couch or the floor or whatever. You can have the bed."

"Angel..."

"No Buffy, its fine really."

"Okay Angel, listen we're both mature adults. I'm sure we can share the bed. I mean its huge look at the size of that thing! I'll just take one half and you the other. It wouldn't be fair that throughout the month you're stuck with the couch while I get the nice plump bed. Okay?"

Angel hesitantly said, "Are... you... sure?"

Buffy knew she should have let him sleep on the couch but she knew it wasn't fair and decided to be the bigger person here.

"Yes I'm sure. Let me just use the bathroom first okay?"

"Yea... sure." Angel replied.

As Buffy walked into the bathroom he soon heard the sounds of the shower and couldn't help fantasize her in there, a naked Buffy in such a near proximity. It just made him groan as he felt his groin twitch. This was gonna be a long night.

He decided to pre occupy himself by changing into only his boxers and getting ready for bed. His heart almost skipped a beat as he saw Buffy come out wearing tight mini shorts and a baby tee. His whole body screamed for her in ways she would never imagined. Buffy wasn't fairing off better seeing his toned sculpted body and seeing him wearing only boxers.

They both averted their gazes not wanting each other to see the lust that filled their eyes. Buffy decided to climb into bed while Angel took his turn into the bathroom.

As Angel returned to the room he saw Buffy's back towards him clearly seeing she decided to take the farther half. As he sat down to get ready to get into bed he couldn't help but get a whiff of her scent and almost let out a groan with the smell. When he reached to turn off the light Angel softly said,

"Goodnight Buffy."

"Night Angel."

With that both lay there awake for quite some time until they both drifted to sleep. As the night wore on unbeknownst to both of them they both rolled closer and closer to each other until both made contact and their limbs were intertwined together along with Angel's hand unconsciously caressing Buffy while Buffy inched closer to feel more of Angel. And as both of them slept in each other's embrace both when they woke up would not be prepared to wake up finding the latter in their arms.

Well, I hope you like this long chapter. I wasn't that slow with the update this time. I knew it might be awhile since I'll update soon with upcoming exams and having two jobs. Feedback is greatly appreciated. If it wasn't for the continuing support and urges to update I probably wouldn't have updated this story until a couple more months. Thx to everyone who's pushing me to finish this.

Feedback feeds the soul. =)
