Chapter Two

Buffy woke to the sound of her alarm and cuddled closer to the warm body next to her, murmuring softly.

Angel: Morning

Buffy: Morning

He tried to get up but she pulled him back down and started peppering kisses on his chest.

Buffy: Mm don't get up yet

She moved her lips to his neck, gently nipping his skin, causing him to groan slightly and pull her closer.

Angel: Have to…we both have an early class, remember?

Buffy: Uh-uh

He tried to get up again but she draped her arms over him, holding her him.

Angel: Well, if you want me to stay that badly…

He ran his finger-tips up and down her back and kissed her softly. Then he flipped them over so she was on her back and started nibbling her ear.

Buffy: Mm that's nice

He suddenly got up off her and started getting dressed.

Buffy: No fair!

Once he was dressed he lent down and placed a lingering kiss on her lips.

Angel: Now get up lazy bones

Buffy: Hey, it's your fault I'm this lazy! I didn't manage to get much sleep last night if you remember?

Angel: (leering) how could I forget?

Buffy grinned at him and stretched languidly.

Buffy: Come back to bed!

Angel: It's alright for you to say, I've got Walsh first. She'll murder me if I'm late. Besides, Willow'll be here any minute. If you want her to catch us in a compromising position, be my guest

Buffy: (pouting) spoil my fun

She got up and started getting dressed when Angel wrapped his arms around her from behind, punctuating every sentence with a kiss to the nape of her neck.

Angel: You know I want to stay with you. But I can't. How about you tell Willow you're going home tonight, and come and stay at my place?

Buffy stood up straight and lent back into his chest.

Buffy: But you share a house with Xander and Oz, they'll know; by the way I'm surprised Willow doesn't notice you're never there whenever she stays there

Angel: Well she's usually busy. Besides, if she notices I just say I stayed at the library studying. Come on, they won't notice, please come

Buffy: But what if Willow decides to stay there cos I'm at my mom's? And if you haven't noticed, we're not that quiet

Angel: I'll have you know I'm very quiet, you're just very loud

Buffy turned around, an indignant expression on her face.

Buffy: Oh come on, you're loads louder than me!

Angel: No way! Anyway, Xander and Anya'll be busy, and if Willow says she's gonna stay there I'll try and persuade Oz to stay here with Willow instead. Please

Buffy: Okay, okay, but if we get caught you're so dead

Buffy finished getting dressed and made her way to the bathroom down the hall. While Angel was waiting for her to come back, Willow walked through the door, having just got back from Oz's.

Willow: Angel. What are you doing here?

Angel: Uh…just came by to see if you and Buffy wanted to come get some breakfast before class

Willow: Oh, yeah that'd be nice. Where's Buffy?

Angel: She's just gone to the bathroom

Buffy walked back in and started at the sight of Willow.

Buffy: Willow! You're back

Willow: Yup

Angel: I was just telling Willow that we're all gonna go get some breakfast together

He looked pointedly at Buffy, telling her to go with it and an easy smile lit up her face.

Buffy: Oh yeah. You coming Will?

Willow: Yeah sure

As they followed Willow out of the room Angel squeezed Buffy's hand softly and she looked at him questioningly. He mouthed 'I love you' and she smiled softly, mouthing it back.
