Chapter 18

She woke up the next morning and felt absolutely horrible, she had drunk some in her 25 years but never as much as she did the night before. She made her way slowly to the kitchen, really needing some coffee.

Someone must have been up before her because there was already a pot made, she grabbed a cup and sat at the bar and started drinking it. She felt someone sit beside her when she looked she couldn't believe who it was, it was Elijah. She didn't say anything, not wanting to ruin the moment of closeness. They sat in silence for the longest time before he finally said something.

"So I heard about the speech last night at the party" He said.

Buffy had to take a moment to remember the speech and when she did she couldn't believe that she had actually said all of that stuff in front of all of them people.

"Oh, shit" She whispered "Here I'm supposed to be in charge and came completely unglued last night."

"Actually it was pretty sweet, I don't think I've ever had anyone announce to a group of people that they were in love with me before, it was different." He told her.

She sat there with her mouth gaping "You were there, weren't you?"

"Yes I was" He said.

"Dammit, why'd you let me get up there and make a fool out of myself?" She was so embarrassed.

"You may have been a little drunk but I wouldn't say you made a fool out of yourself, now if you were trying to keep your feelings for me a secret then your secret is out" He said with a light laugh.

She couldn't help but feel how right this felt, just sitting here talking to Elijah like this. He handed her a few aspirins, "I've never had a hangover but I hear taking a few of these make it better."

"Thank you." She took the aspirins from him.

He said "Your welcome" as he was getting up "Feel better."

"I think I will now that you're actually talking to me." She told him.

She still felt pretty awful the rest of the day but she couldn't help smile more than she had in a while. The only thing she could really think about was that he had finally spoken to her again, after months of only speaking to her when he had to. It wasn't what she wanted but she meant what she said she would wait for him, she knew this wasn't one sided.

More of the same came the next couple days, he would talk to her some but it wasn't much. She started to think that he was just gradually letting her back in his life, she knew that she really hurt him and she wanted him to be able to trust that she wouldn't ever do anything like that again.

She hadn't seen much of Willow or Rebekah the last few days and she wasn't sure if they were just trying to give her and Elijah space or what but she was starting to miss her friends. Faith was still going to be away for a few more weeks, the vampire problem turned out a little worse than they thought. Last she heard Sam and Dean had actually headed to Virginia as well trying to help them. She was starting to think that she might have to make a trip there herself if they couldn't get it under control, she really hoped she didn't have to though because she wasn't ready to be apart from Elijah for that long.

When Rebekah finally came home Buffy went right to her room. "Where have you been? I feel like I'm going stir crazy in this house."

"You do know you don't have to stay cooped up in the house right?" She asked her.

"Yea I know that but I really didn't want to go into town by myself, I was thinking some shopping sounded good but without anyone to go with…" Buffy hinted to her.

"Shopping, you know I'm good for shopping anytime" Rebekah was getting excited.

"You wanna go now?" She asked her.

"Of course" She said.

They were out of the house and shopping within 20 minutes. Being with Rebekah she knew she would buy way more than she needed but she didn't mind that right then. Anything to take her mind off everything going on at home was good for her. Being with Rebekah always made it easier to not think about her and Elijah or that lack thereof. It was strange to think but Rebekah was like the combination of Klaus and Elijah, she had the same wild side that Klaus had and his bad tendency sometimes but she also had a heart of gold like Elijah did. She was one of the kindest people she had met but she was all about her family, if anyone tried to hurt them they'd have to deal with her as well.
