Chapter 12: "No Rest for the Weary: part 2"

By : Mr. Ribbet-Ribbet

Buffy ran as fast as she could to Angel's office. Dunning up and down the crowed streets in between all the people who crowed them. Buffy feared for the worst for Angel. Finally after running for what had felt like a lifetime in standstill, she reached his office's front door. Stopping in front of it, Buffy held her breath as she pushed the cracked door opened. Everything there that she feared that would be there was except for Angel. Walking in slowly she took a deep breath to brace herself, and started to look around. A broken window, lamps smashed to pieces, and blood every where on the floor. Buffy started to get scared for Angel. "Knowing Faith she shot him with some of that poison from last year." Buffy thought to herself as she kept looking for Angel. Then she heard the faintest moan coming from behind her, Buffy turned around to see who it was. Her heart skipped a beat as she seen him laying there in a pool of blood coming from his stomach.

"Angel! Where are you hurt? I'm here, I'm here Angel!" she said as she ran over to the limp body of Angel. Kneeling down beside him, she pulled Angel over into her lap. His head laid in here lap as she stroked his head to tel him she was there and reassured she would stop Faith. After a few minutes she softly laid his head back on the floor as she went to go call Wesley and Cordelia. "Hello? Wesley. You and Cord need to get over here! Fast, Faith came after Angel and he is hurt badly!" Buffy told Wesley as she hung up and went to go comfort Angel. Kneeling back down beside Angel, all she could do was tell him that she was there. She just stayed there until she heard Wes and Cordy come in.

"Were here, Buffy." a husky voice said standing in front of her. "Let me take a look at him." Wes said as he knelt down in the other side of Angel, and setting his bag down. Reaching his hand out to touch Buffy' hand to let him look over Angel. Only to be refused by her.

"Cordy can you take Buffy down stairs to wait?" Wes asked.

"Sure, come on Buffy. Let's go down stairs." Cordy said as she tried to loosen Buffy's grip over Angel.

"No! I want to stay right here!" Buffy demanded to the both of them.

"Alright, but you need to let me check Angel out. Let me work." Wesley said before returning back to attend to Angel. After taking the bullet out of Angel's shoulder, and patched his wound Wes thought it best that they get Angel down stairs before daylight broke through the broken window. Buffy and Wesley carefully picked Angel up and headed toward the stairs, reaching them the slowly trekked down the stairs not trying to hurt Angel anymore than he was. Reaching the last step, they headed to the last leg his bed. Angel was heavy for the former Watcher and the Slayer. Reaching the couch, Buffy carefully took Angel and laid him on the couch. Setting down beside her ex lover, Buffy started to cry again. Letting the single tears fall from her eyes to her checks. Feeling Wesley's hand touch and caress her shoulder, Buffy took in the relaxing hand as comfort. Sinking into the warmth of Wesley's body she leaned her back to his stomach. Putting her head against his chest, she used his body as a pillow.

"Buffy, why don't you give Angel some rest, as do you need it to." Wesley told her as he kept rubbing Buffy's shoulder. Pulling her up from her seat on the couch and headed her toward Angel's bedroom. Wesley walked her to the bed and sat Buffy on the bed, and turned to walk out the door. But was stopped by a hand, holding on to his. Turning around he saw Buffy's hand connecting to his own.

"Buffy?" Wesley asked confused.

"Wo- wo- would you stay here with me?" Buffy asked as he went to shut the bedroom door.

"If you want me to. I'll be here for as long you need." Wesley said as he sat down beside her on the bed. Reaching out his hand to touch Buffy's face. Caressing her check Buffy melted in his touch. Closing the space in between them, Buffy latched on to Wesley's lips. She deepened the kiss, as their tongues fought for power. Every thing was new with Wesley, learning every crevasse of each other's mouth. Pulling away Wes asked if this was what she really wanted.

"Yes, just take me now!" Buffy cried as he returned to the assault on her mouth. As they surrendered to each other, they became together as the started to have sex. The fell of their skin of other, the smell of the passion, the fire just for the night, and the ecstacy of the sex. Enjoying every part of it. The solaces to calm Buffy down, to taste her and to use her just even for his pleasure and gain. As they raged together they felt the connection as she lay there with Wesley. Making all the moments leading to their climaxes something to remember on this night. Reaching their climaxes, Buffy felt relieved from this experience with the former Watcher. Laying there gave her peace she needed from the past few weeks. Then all of a sudden the bedroom door swung opened, Cordelia stood there in shock, hurt, pain, and rage.

"Oh my GOD!" passed thru Cordelia's lips as she seen the sight before her. Hearing this Wesley took and looked behind him to see the dismay and hurt Cordy standing in the door way. His look on his face went from pleasure to uneasiness in a matter of seconds. Getting off of Buffy Wesley jumped up to put on his pants. Dressing in record time he had his boxers, pants, and his shirt on before walking past Cordelia, who still stood in the door way.

"Please don't tell Angel-" Buffy started to say before she was cut off by Cordelia spoke.

"I, I, I don't know what to say but im not going to tell Angel when he wakes up. You are!" Cordelia said as she turned and walked way. Sitting up on the bed, Buffy started to get dressed.

After being fully dressed Buffy, took and walked into the living room, as Cordy's eyes shot her deadly looks from where she sat. Wesley just sat there in the kitchen table. Walking through the living room she, walked into the kitchen. Taking a seat in the next to Wesley, he began to speak.

"Buffy, that was just for comfort, not pleasure. It meant nothing more." Wesley said.

"I know, and I say Angel never needs to know about this." she said.

"I agree." Wes said before they heard Angel waking up.

Getting up the both of them headed to the living room. Angel laid there with his eyes about ready to say something.

"Why? Why Buffy? Why Wes?" simply came out of his mouth. "We can deal with his after we stop Faith understand the both of you?"

"Yes." they both simply said.
