Chapter 10
"Well, this is it." Angel said as he let Buffy into his house. She looked around and was surprised at how big it was when only two people lived there.
"Wow, it's really nice." She said and he smiled at her and led her to the living room. They both sat down on the couch and were talking for a few minutes when they heard someone come down the stairs and head into the living room also. Buffy looked up to see a young girl with long, dark hair walk over to them. Angel stood up and Buffy did the same. Angel looked at Buffy before he introduced them.
"Buffy, this is my sister Dawn. Dawn, this is Buffy." Dawn smiled as she looked at Buffy and then back at Angel.
"So, this is the student you've been boning?" Angel was appalled that she would say that.
"Dawn! It's not like that. I didn't tell her that." Angel said to Buffy and Buffy nodded and smiled at him as she looked at Dawn.
"Actually, I'll just settle for being his girlfriend." Buffy told her and Dawn shrugged.
"If that's what you wanna call it." She said when she caught the look on Angel's face and then turned back to Buffy. "It's nice to meet you." She told Buffy before she looked back at her brother with a smile on her face. "I'll be going out now, don't do anything I wouldn't do." She said with a wink and Buffy blushed at the comment. Angel grabbed her arm before she walked away.
"Hold it, where are you going?" Dawn rolled her eyes.
"I was gonna sleep over at Janice's tonight. I told you about it yesterday." Angel nodded when he remembered.
"Right, well be careful." Dawn nodded also.
"I know the drill, see you tomorrow." She said as she walked away and headed out of the house. Angel turned back to Buffy.
"Sorry about that, she's a handful." Buffy nodded.
"I can see that, but she seems nice enough." Angel agreed.
"Yeah, she's a good kid. It's just been hard these last few years, having to take care of her by myself." Buffy felt bad for him.
"Well, if it helps any I think you did a pretty good job." He smiled at her.
"It helps a lot. So, will you be able to stay here tonight?" He asked and Buffy nodded.
"Yep, it's all covered. My mom thinks I'm staying at Spike's." Angel nodded also.
"She still doesn't know about us I take it." Buffy shook her head.
"My mom is difficult; I know she won't be happy about it. I have a pretty bad past. I've gotten into a lot of trouble and she likes to make sure that it won't happen again." Angel nodded in understanding. He was interested to know about her past, but he figured she wasn't ready to talk about it so he wouldn't ask. He really felt close to her and wanted to know everything about her, but he could wait until she was ready to tell him. They spent the rest of the night talking and watching some movies until Buffy got tired and Angel decided to call it a night as he showed her to the guest room. He gave her a kiss on the lips.
"I'll be in the room next to you if you need anything." He told her and she nodded and gave him another kiss before he left to go to his room. Buffy sighed and walked into the guest room. She lay down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. She knew it would be very hard to fall asleep. About an hour went by and Buffy still couldn't fall asleep. She decided that she had enough and got out of bed. She walked out of the room and headed next door to Angel's room. She took a deep breath before she opened the door and found him sound asleep in his bed. Buffy smiled as she closed the door and walked over to him. He looked so peaceful when he was sleeping. She went around to the other side of the bed and got in next to him. He turned over and wrapped his arms around her without even realizing it until she saw his eyes open and look right at her. "What are you doing in here?" He whispered to her.
"I couldn't sleep. You don't mind, do you?" Angel shook his head.
"Not at all. I'm suddenly not so tired anymore." Buffy smiled at him.
"Me either." She said as she kissed him and he kissed her back with all the passion that he felt for her. It started to become too intense as Angel pulled away breathless.
"Buffy, if we don't stop now we could go too far." Buffy looked into his eyes.
"I don't want to stop. I want you, Angel." She whispered as she captured his lips with hers again. Angel put all thoughts out of his head as he kissed her back. He got on top of her without even taking his lips off of hers. They both discarded their clothes soon after and became lost in each other.
