As requested, I've changed the speech. Hopefully it reads better now 

Two weeks later Buffy knocked on the Chases' door. She was supposed to meet Cordelia and Xander at her house and she was surprised when Angel opened the door. She thought he'd be working at the store that day. He invited her in and told her they weren't back from Xander's yet. They sat awkwardly on the sofa, neither knowing what to say. Buffy finally broke the silence. "Look, about what happened…"

Angel cut in quickly. "Let's just forget about it, okay? We were asleep, we didn't know what we were doing. It was an accident." Buffy looked down, trying to forget how good it had felt waking up with him. "Yeah, it was."

There was a long silence before Angel spoke up. "Didn't you have a hospital appointment the other day?"

"Yeah, I did" Angel sat up, interested. "What did the doctor say?"

"I'm fine now, my ribs are healed completely." Angel swallowed nervously before asking the next question. "Have…have the police found Pete yet?"

Buffy looked down, her eyes betraying her fear. "No. Not yet. I'm just…I keep thinking he's gonna come back and finish what he started." Angel moved a bit closer and turned his body towards her. "I don't think so. I'm sure he's far from here by now. He wouldn't be stupid enough to try and attack you again"

She lifted her eyes to Angel's and gave him a weak smile. "I wish I was so sure." She seemed to realise how close they were and her eyes flicked towards his lips, then back up to his eyes. His travelled the same path over her face, leaning in closer. He rested a hand on her back and lowered his mouth to hers, gently brushing her lips with his.

They pulled away and looked at each other, their eyes showing confusion, but want. Buffy's eyes moved to his lips again and her eyelids slowly lowered as she swayed forward and pressed a firm kiss to his lips. He shifted so their thighs were pressed close together and lifted a hand to her neck, holding her lips to his. His tongue darted out to taste her lips and she immediately opened her mouth, deepening the kiss. She let out a small noise of satisfaction and moved a hand to the back of his neck, pressing him closer as he pushed her further into the back of the sofa. Suddenly they heard the door open and jumped apart to opposite ends of the sofa, lifting their wide eyes to the intruders.

Cordelia and Xander walked in, apologising for their lateness. They dismissed the tension between Angel and Buffy, just putting it down to their dislike of each other, then the three of them left to meet Willow and Oz at the mall. Buffy shot a glance at Angel as she walked out of the door, her cheeks blushing red as she saw he was looking at her too.

The next day was Sunday, so Buffy knew Angel would be working at the store. When she walked in Paul, the owner, told her he was in the back, bringing in the supplies, and said she could go right through. She did so and Angel immediately stopped working when he saw her. "Hey."

Buffy stepped closer. "Hey…Look so –"

She was cut off by Angel's lips descending on hers, his arms wrapping around her waist and pulling her against him. She melted into him, placing her hands on his shoulders and clutching him to her as she responded enthusiastically to the kiss. After a few minutes they broke off, their arms still wrapped tightly around each other. "What were you saying?" Buffy gave him a questioning look. "I'm sorry, were we talking?"

He grinned at her and lowered his head, pressing his lips to hers once more. Buffy was awash in sensations. She never knew simple kissing could feel this good. When she was with Pete the kissing had been nice, but that was all. Now as Angel gently slipped his tongue into her mouth, she felt her knees buckle and her hands clutched him tighter. She moaned softly into his mouth and he let out an answering groan, a noise from deep in his throat.

They pulled away slowly, their eyes fluttering open as they savoured the kiss. Buffy untangled herself from him and took a step back. "What…what are we doing? We're supposed to hate each other" Angel nodded and looked her up and down predatorily. "I know."

Buffy gulped. "I mean there's no logical reason why we should even want to kiss each other." Angel grinned at her. "I know"

"We could never work. We'd argue all the time, we'd spend more time fighting than anything else." She was vaguely aware that Angel had moved so she was flush up against him once again and his nose was pressed to hers, his hands resting lightly on her hips. "I know"

She closed her eyes and leaned into him, rubbing her nose against his. "Are you trying to shut me up?" He gently massaged her hips with his fingertips. "You noticed huh?"

Buffy's eyes shot open and she glared at him, but couldn't help but bring her arms up around his neck. Angel placed a soft kiss on her lips, then looked seriously into her eyes. "You're right. There's no logical reason why we should be together, and we'd probably argue all the time. But…"

He kissed her again, his lips lingering slightly longer this time, before he moved slightly away, so she could still feel his breath on her lips. "…That doesn't mean I don't want to try."

He covered her mouth with his own, bending her back slightly so she fit snugly against him, her curves meshing perfectly with his own. She tangled her fingers in his hair, pulling him closer and gently massaged the back of his neck with her other hand, causing him to hold her tighter against his form. When she finally broke away they were both panting hard. "Me too."

Angel looked at her sheepishly. "But maybe we should –" Buffy cut him off. "Keep it a secret?" He grinned, relieved. "Yeah"

"I was going for that too. I don't really want Cordy knowing. Not yet."
