Thanks for the Reviews!
"And how are we this morning?"
Buffy slid a packet of painkillers across the table and smirked at the look that Willow had on her face, she was wrapped up in her house robe and her hair was a mess. Willow grumbled thanks then popped two pills and downed them with water.
Taking a deep breath she smiled wearily "I think I had one too many glasses of wine" Buffy chuckled, surprisingly she was doing okay, considering she had a good few drinks for the first time in years she was fresh as a daisy.
Taking a sip of her coffee Buffy shuffled back onto the chair to get comfortable, she looked over at her friend and tipped her head "What?" the look on Willows face, despite being hung-over was one full of glee.
"So… give me all the details! And don't spare anything!" she wiggled her eyebrows then laughed when Buffy shrugged "Oh come on, we all saw what happened with you and Angel… he couldn't keep his hands off you!"
Buffy blushed profusely, she was never one for large amounts of PDA and last night they had given them quite a bit of a display. When she thought back to her kiss she smiled widely, it was perfect.
They had kissed for long minutes before he kissed her softly and smiled down at her; he linked his fingers through hers and escorted her back to the table. Thankfully none of their friends mentioned their kiss; they kept talking as if they hadn't noticed the lip lock.
"Willow!" she looked down to the table and smiled again, when they were sitting with their friends he had his arm resting on the booth behind her, occasionally she would feel his thumb rub circles on her skin causing her to bite her lip.
When it came to eleven o'clock she wanted to call it a night, she was having fun but it had been a long day for her, Angel retrieved her jacket then escorted her home. With it being a nice night they decided to walk instead of getting a cab.
The red head poured herself a coffee then took a large gulp as she sat back down across from her friend "So what happened? You two left together and either he left early this morning or you're hiding him upstairs"
Buffy swiped at her hand playfully and laughed, when they got to her door they had talked for half an hour before she yawned loudly, her eyes barely able to stay open. Angel smirked at her sleepy face then leaned down to kiss her deeply.
"Nothing!" when Will quirked an eyebrow at her she quirked hers right back "We came home, we talked and he kissed me before saying goodnight… it was nice" that was true, it was a nice kiss – better than nice.
Willow nodded softly "Did you want something else to happen?" she had seen the looks that were exchanged and knew that both of them felt the same way about each other. It made her smile that Buffy looked to be doing better lately.
"Well, I uh, I don't know… I mean it was a GOOD kiss, it made me feel all tingly" she smiled contentedly then looked back at Willow "We only kissed… I mean it would be nice but it's not like we got a chance to talk about us last night… about what could happen"
She only shrugged then took a drink of her coffee, Willow nodded and followed suit; when she placed the mug back on the table she ran her hand over her face "Well I'll be going back to bed… What are you doing today?"
Buffy's face lit up and she smiled bashfully "I have a date with Angel" both of the girls let out an excited squeal like they were teens again. She looked at the clock on the wall and smiled again, it was almost time to get ready to meet him.
Willow gripped her hand tightly and gave her a look; Buffy gripped her hand back and smiled thankfully at her friend. Without saying anything she got up from the seat and practically skipped her way to the bathroom.
Oooooooooooooo
Angel rubbed his temples and groaned he had been in since 6am and worked non-stop which was now causing a migraine to pound behind his eyes "Hey Boss, do you want to grab some lunch?" he rolled his eyes then looked up at her.
"No thanks Harm, I'm just going to work through this and head out early" her eyes narrowed slightly before she smirked and ran her tongue over her sparkling white teeth, she tipped her head to the side and pouted.
"Oh Boss, surely you won't leave me to eat lunch by my lonesome? Come on… we can head out to the diner; just the two of us huh?" she whined then pouted even further.
In general he was a sociable person, he got along with most people he met – got along quite well with a lot of people in this office, Harmony Kendall however, he didn't. Why some girls thought that acting like an insipid moron was a turn on, he never knew.
Her cool blue eyes ran over him making him squirm, not that he didn't mind the odd bit of attention, it done wonders for his ego but most other woman usually gave up when he declined their attempts the first time; this was bordering on harassment.
He couldn't tell whether or not if Harmony was actually an idiot or if she just pretended to be, whenever he would overhear her speaking to their other colleagues she sounded almost normal. Whenever she spoke to him the decibels got higher.
Looking at him she couldn't deny that she wanted a piece of him, his dark bedroom eyes and that smile that brought her to her knees; she wanted him and that was it. It irked her that he showed no interest, he was single as far as she believed.
Not hindered by the decline she swayed her hips from side to side then stopped behind him, he felt her hands knead the muscles in his shoulders before feeling her lips against his ear "You feel tense Boss, that's not good… try to relax"
Harmony smiled then dug her thumbs in deep, she felt him shift in his seat then worked her hands lower, her exceptionally long manicured nails plucked at the buttons on his shirt until the top of his chest was visible.
Angel stiffened when her hand slipped under his shirt then scratched teasingly at his chest "Harm…"
Her long blonde hair swished over his shoulder as she leaned over so that her cleavage was in line with his face, he glared up at her and she smirked.
"Hey Angel… I thought I would stop by and bring you some lun…" the pair of them faced the door to his office, seeing Buffy at the entrance he sat up straight and pushed back. Harmony ran her finger tip over the top of his arm then shot Buffy a look.
The blonde that was draped over him a moment ago sneered at her then smiled sweetly at Angel "Anything else I can do for you, boss?" she pushed her arms against her body to push her chest out; which was already spilling out of the low cut shirt.
Angel kept his gaze on Buffy, he could see her try to keep a smile on her face but he knew that she wasn't happy "That's All" on the way past Harmony eyed Buffy up then snorted softly as she shut over the door to the office.
Once they were finally alone he stood up and smiled kindly "You shouldn't have troubled yourself"
Buffy gripped onto the bag that had the homemade lunch inside, Angel had complained a few times that whenever his work mates would get lunch it would be something unhealthy so she thought she would surprise him and bring him something nice.
Trouble herself? It was no trouble at all, not as if she had anything to do – it looked like she was causing trouble, feeling insecure compared to the pretty blonde she now felt stupid, who knows what would have happened if she hadn't of interrupted.
She licked her lips to alleviate their dryness then looked to the ground, he got up from his seat and came over to her and took the bag from her hands and sat it on the table. As she turned to leave she felt his arms wrap around her waist and pulled her against his chest.
"Thank you" she turned her head to face him, he leaned over and kissed her gently. Reluctantly she smiled and shrugged. Angel twined his fingers through hers and led her behind the desk; he sat on his leather chair then pulled Buffy down on his lap.
He reached around her and pulled the bag over to get his lunch and dug in, after a few bites he held the fork out to her. Buffy smiled when he nodded insistently then daintily took a bite of the salad; slowly she relaxed against his body.
It was hard to stay sad or mad at him, sitting on his lap and sharing his lunch felt strangely intimate and she liked it. Surely if something was happening with the other woman he would just have dismissed her then shared the lunch with her?
Once he was finished with the salad he closed over the box and slipped it back inside the bag, he shifted his thighs causing her to slide backwards; immediately his arm pulled her back against him securely "How has your day been?"
She shrugged lightly and smiled at him "Fine" he ran his fingers over her ribs softly causing her to shimmy on his lap. Angel closed his eyes for a moment then smiled back at her, his fingers tracing her jaw line lightly "You okay?"
Buffy bit her lip, even though she was in his arms she still felt jealous, she didn't want to be a nagging shrew, she didn't have any claim on him either but she thought that things had changed between them "Angel… who is she?"
She nodded towards the door that Harm had left through earlier, Angel sighed and tipped his head to the side "She's a pain in my ass" when her eyes widened at his cuss he smiled "Harmony is one of the secretaries here, who is annoying and persistent"
Angel twined his fingers through hers and brought her hand up to his mouth to place a kiss on the top before placing it back down "Don't worry about her, if I could get rid of her without any reason I would" he sighed, he would love nothing more than to do so but couldn't.
Buffy nodded slowly then looked down to her hands in her lap; tightening his arm around her he leaned down and kissed her languidly. Her lashes fluttered opened to see his warm gaze on her face "Thank you for bringing me lunch, I appreciate it"
Angel smiled again then ran his knuckles over her cheek softly; Buffy blushed then laid her head on his shoulder to get comfortable after a pause he ran his hand over her thigh "I was thinking of picking up a movie and a bottle of wine if you want to come over tonight?"
She smiled against his chest then slid her hand on top of his and gave it a squeeze "Sure" he kissed the top of her head then sighed contentedly, Rather than rushing back to his work he closed his eyes and held her tight, enjoying having her here.
