I was going to upload this earlier but real life got in the way. Sorry.

Keep in mind that this isn't Buffy from the show, this is my own Buffy. On that note- enjoy.

Chapter 12: Not Your Average Pillow Talk

Angel clasped on the hotel bed next to Buffy, trying to slow his breathing. Buffy turned her head to look at Angel, she was breathing heavy and had a thin layer of sweat all over her body. "Damn, your good." Buffy said letting out a breath.

"Me? Where the hell did you learn that back bend thing?" Angel said looking over at her with a smile.

"I don't think you want to know the answer to that." Buffy joked.

"Will the answer make me insanely jealous and make me want to rip some guys head off?"

"I was kidding. I did gymnastics for about 10 years and then I was in Cheerleading for 4 years. I'm pretty stretchy." She grinned.

"That you are!" He kissed her collar bone.

"What's your deal? Other then being in the Army. What else is there to you?" She questioned, wanting to know more about him.

He wrapped his arm around her waist. "Nothing really. The Army is my life. If you want to know about before I joined- I got nothing." He joked. " But really, I did Football and Basketball in high school, Graduated top in my class. Valedictorian."

"A smart stud, huh? Its hard to find jocks with a brain. You're a rare breed." She said turning over onto her side to look at him.

"I guess so." He whispered leaning in to kiss her softly.

After they broke away from the kiss Buffy asked "What was the family business? You were… are… really smart and your dad wanted you to go into the family business so bad, it must be a business that needs brains."

"Law Firm." He said simply.

"Blah! If I met you as a lawyer, that would have turned me off even more then being a soldier…. All though, you being a soldier kind of had the opposite effect on me then I thought it would… but my dad is a lawyer. Hate them." Buffy rambled.

"I turned you off?" He asked offended. If earlier today was any indication, he knew for a fact he DID turn her on.

"NO! I said the opposite effect. As in turned me on. A lot." She defended.

"A lot huh?" He smiled. "So you only slept with me because I'm a soldier?"

"No! I found you hot before I knew you were a soldier." Buffy said clapping her hand over her mouth. "Oops. I didn't want that to come out."

"I'm glad it did." He said inching a little closer to her and slipping his hand under the sheet.

"Could you give me another minute to recuperate? My body is still humming from the last 5 orgasms. I will gladly go for number 6 soon but my body has been on fire for like a week because of you and the other night I didn't last very long." She rambled not even realizing what she was saying.

"The other night? Who the hell were you with the other night?" He asked, his eyes becoming slits.

"I always slip up with you, don't I?" She said biting her lip.

"Buffy, who were you with?" He asked again, looking like he was about to lose it.

"No one." She squirmed lower into the bed.

"You already said it now, you cant take it back." He said watching her squirm even lower.

"Did anyone call no take backs? I didn't hear anyone call it." She said sounding like a small child.

"I'm calling it now." He put his hand on her hip, stopping her from going any further.

Buffy bit her lip and hesitantly responded. "Myself."

Angel tilted his head trying to understand what exactly she meant, and then realization hit him. "You masturbated?"

"I like to call it 'self love'" She all the sudden became very interested in the hem of the sheet, she then dropped the sheet and raised her voice a little. "What was I suppose to do? I couldn't stop thinking about you and…. This!" She motioned at them and the bed.

Angel looked down at the bed smiling, then his eyes followed up her body and stopped when he made contact with her eyes. He bent down and kissed her again.

"Your really hot" she defended. "Which goes against like everything I decided I was going to stand for. No soldiers. No guys. Period."

"You went out with Ben."

"You think I wanted to? I was on a happy high when I agreed with Willow that I would go out with him. It was the day I was going to meet up with Doyle to see about the house, I was one step closer to having a more normal life and not living with my mom… and I wanted to make Willow happy. The first time I talked to Ben on the phone I made up an excuse to get off the phone with him, then the second time he asked me out. I couldn't stop thinking about you so I called Willow to tell her I couldn't do it but she was SO happy that Ben had finally called me and I didn't think I would have a chance with you so I thought, what the hell and I jumped. WORSE mistake of my life!" Buffy explained quickly in fear of Angel getting upset.

"Buffy, you shouldn't worry about making other people happy. YOU need to be happy." He said softly.

Buffy looked down at the sheet, speaking softly. "Well, I didn't exactly think you wanted to be my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend? Is that what your calling me?" Buffy snapped her eyes up to his face, she couldn't read anything on his face. He had no expression. She began to panic on the inside and tempted to keep her cool on the outside.

"Um… no… Uh… a one night stand… or technically one day stand…" She was trying to keep her feelings from coming to the surface.

"Well…" Angel said, still no emotion on his face. "I would be okay with the title boyfriend… if that's what you wanted."

Buffy's inner meltdown calmed a little. "Really?"

She sounded like a little kid who was just told they could get candy from the store, he couldn't help but smile at her. "Yeah, really."

"Okay." Buffy nodded, letting out a shaky breath. "yeah… cool. I mean, I had a once night stand before and it wasn't good."

"Hmmm, all my one nighters have been good." He said thinking about it. " Its what you make it, and we both know how damn good I am in the sack." He added with a hint of cockiness.

Buffy looked away from him with a sad expression on her face and moved away from him to get out of the hotel bed. "I guess its different for guys."

Angel watched her as she pulled as much of the sheet around her as she could and started searching for her clothes. He sat up on the bed. "Where are you going?"

"I should get going. Maybe catch up on some work." She said bending down when she found her shorts.

"When did this conversation turn south?" Angel wondered.

Buffy wiggled into her shorts and spotted her shirt. She threw it over her head and turned around quickly to look at Angel. "You know, it really hurts a girl when a guy just leaves when they are done… or in my case the girl gets kicked out. Not even a second thought."

Angel moved closer to the edge of the bed reaching out to gently grab her hand and pull her onto the bed to sit next to him. "I'm sorry, I was only joking." He said softly.

"No, you weren't. You're an ass. Just like all guys." Buffy whispered as a tear slid down her check.

He moved closer, reaching out to caress her check, wiping the tear away. "Don't cry, baby." He kissed her forehead. "Your right, I am an ass… but you make me want to be better." He murmured against her forehead. Angling himself so he could see her face better he added, "I cant speak for all guys, but I do know that, myself personally… I don't want to hurt anymore girls. Seeing you this upset breaks my heart. I don't want to be the cause of seeing you this way, I don't ever want you to be hurt. Your far to beautiful to look so sad."

Buffy looked at him with a weak smile. "Sweet. Now if you think your smart, use the right words when you talk to me."

"I will try to remember that." He said kissing her lightly on her lips. "Now, are we done with teaching you how to shoot a gun and moving on to cooking… because I thought today was great progress."

"I don't know. I didn't do to good with the gun and I think the cooking might be even more hazzardest…"

"No, you did good." He tried to encourage her.

"I only hit the target once.. And it wasn't a full on hit, you got all of the shots in without even looking." Buffy reasoned.

"I have had 8 years of training." He reasoned back. "And its my job. Besides, I live for danger. I will teach you anything you want me too."

"You live for danger, huh? Then maybe we should add to your boyfriend list: Teaching Buffy to drive. That's pretty dangerous." She said changing her tone to playful.

"Is this a mental list, or should I really write it down?" He joked.

"I can write it for you, that way we don't forget anything." Buffy looked down at Angel's chest, bringing her hands to rubbing up and down his chest. "Angel? I think I'm ready for number 6." she said kissing his chest.
