Edwards POV:
I didn't know what to do about Buffy and Angel. I didn't want to leave them alone together but I couldn't interfere either. Emmet just gave me terrible advice all involving kicking Angel's ass.
"Hello Buffy nice to see you" Esme's musical voice travelled up the stairs.
I continued to look through my cd collection as I heard her get closer to the door.
"I haven't seen you in awhile" she said with an accusing tone in her voice.
"You've been busy" I replied trying not to sound as jealous as I felt.
"How do you know I've been busy" she asked suspiciously
I sighed.
"You've been around" she gasped "why didn't you just come by?"
"I didn't want to intrude I was just checking you're ok" I told her "How is Angel?"
"Are you jealous?" she asked
"No" I lied trying to keep the pained look from my face.
Buffy's POV:
Edward looked so hurt about Angel being around. I couldn't believe he was jealous. Before I knew what I was doing I was hugging him. His arms closed round me before I could pull back and suddenly I didn't want to. More trouble was coming. Like I hadn't dealt with enough. Edward's arms felt like the safest place in the world.
"I'll always keep you safe" he replied.
He'd obviously heard my thoughts but I didn't mind. He just held me closer and we stood like that in silence. Every part of me knew this was wrong but I just didn't care. The world wouldn't cut me a break so I'd cling onto the few things that made me feel happy and safe. Edward was one of them. The next thing I knew his lips were on mine and I just stopped thinking.
