Summery: Willow and Angel go bowling.
Authors Notes: Okay, this is the product of when you've worked in a bowling ally for way to long. Well, we all know I had to write this eventually:) It's basically a fluff story.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Watch you're step." Angel warned.
"O...Okay. Um, were are we going Angel?"
"It's part of a surprise."
"A surprise?" Willow asked.
"Uh huh, lets just say I was inspired."
"Inspired? By what?"
"You'll see."
"Okay."
"Alright, we're here." Angel said as hey stopped.
"Where are we Angel?"
"You'll find out in a second. Now I'm going to take off the blindfold but I want you keep your eyes shut till I say."
"Okay."
"Alright," Angel said as he removed the blindfold. "Open your eyes."
Slowly Willow opened her eyes and looked around.
"Angel, I don't know what to say. We're in a...bowling ally."
"That's right."
"Um Angel, what are we doing here?"
"Well, after seeing you bowl the other night I came to realize that you were in desperate need of some coaching."
"Angel, are you saying I can't bowl well?"
"Willow," Angel said, "I'm saying you can't bowl at all."
"Oh, and you can I suppose?" Willow said.
"Actually yes. Let's just say I've had a lot of time on my hands over the last few years."
"Okay, but I'm still not seeing where my surprise comes in." Willow said.
"Oh, don't worry Willow, you'll get your surprise all in good time."
"Um Angel, where is everyone? It seems kinda quiet." Willow said looking around.
"Oh, well that's because I got them to close the place to everyone but us for the night."
"How did you-"
"Sush, you ask too many questions." Angel said as he placed a silencing finger over her lips.
Leading her over to a nearby lane, he monitored for her to stay as he walked over to the reception and spoke quietly to the man standing there.
Turning away from Angel, Willow saw the lights to the lane switch on and a set of pins drop down into place.
Turning back around Willow noticed Angel heading back over to her, two pairs of shoes in his hands.
"Hear you go Willow." Angel said handing her a pair of the shoes.
"Thanks." She replied taking them from Angel and slipping them on.
"You ready?" Angel asked after he had put on his own shoes.
"Yep, lets go." Willow said as she stood up.
"Okay," Angel said as he handed Willow a ball. "I want you to just take a shot so I can see your style when you bowl."
"Okay."
"Just remember not to focus too much. If you do it'll just end up in the gutter. Just do what comes naturally."
"All right." Willow said as she walked up to the approach.
Moving to stand behind her, Angel watched as she walked up to the lane trying to ignore the view of her behind as she bent over and released the ball. Standing up, Willow watched as the ball rolled down the lane, turning towards the left as it did so, just managing to hit the seven pin before dropping into the gutter.
Turning around, Willow walked back over to Angel.
"Ugh, lets face it Angel," she said as she stopped beside him. I suck."
"No you don't Willow. You just need practice. You should have seen me before I was taught. Now what I want you to do is watch me and try to copy what I do."
"Okay." Willow said.
Moving so she got a better view Willow watched as Angel threw the ball, letting it glide down the lane. Suddenly it hit the pins, knocking them all down.
"Angel," Willow cried as he walked back over to her. "You got a strike!"
"Yep," Angel said grinning. "and now it's your turn."
"Um...okay." Willow said biting her lower lip.
Picking up a ball she tried to copy Angel's movements and threw the ball down the lane. Watching as it slid promptly into the gutter.
Frowning slightly Angel walked over to where Willow was standing watching as the pins were reset.
"Hmm, maybe we should try another way."
"Angel, maybe it might just be best if I quit while I'm behind."
"All right, I've got it." Angle said, choosing to ignore Willow's comment.
"What...Angel-"
"Trust me Willow." Angel said.
Nodding her head Willow waited to see what he'd do.
Grinning, Angel moved closer to Willow.
Willow was surprised when Angel reached over and placed a hand over hers and led her away from the ball return.
"Angel, what are you doing?"
"Come here." Was all he said.
"Um, but don't we need a ball?"
"Not yet. First you've got to learn technique." Angel said as her led her up to the fault line.
"Kay," Angel said as he moved behind her. "What I'm going to do is show you the correct way to swing you arm and move your body."
"Uh huh,"
"Right, well the first thing is to position you're body correctly." Angel said as he leaned in closer to her, pressing his chest into her back.
"And then bend your knees ever so slightly as you swing."
"Like this?" Willow said as she lowered herself slightly.
"Uh huh," Angel said as he brought her up again, whispering into her ear. "Also, when you release the ball you shouldn't just drop it onto the lane. You should swing your body, almost as if you were playing golf. Here, let me show you."
To demonstrate his point, Angel ran his hand down along Willow's arm, sending shivers down her spine, till his hand rested on top of hers. Lacing his fingers with hers, he moved their hands backwards and then forwards, demonstrating the moment of throwing the ball.
Placing his other hand on her hip to help guide her, he repeated the movement, telling her when to bend her knees as she did so.
When she felt she had got the hang of it, and he could no longer take being do close to her, he moved away and handed her a ball.
"Okay, now just do it as I showed you okay, just take your time."
"Okay" and with that, Willow walked over and released the ball as Angel had shown her, and held her breath as she watched it sail down the middle of the lane and knock all the pins down.
"I did it!" Willow shouted as she jumped up and down. "I knocked them all down!"
"Yep, you sure did, but that was only once. You still need practice."
"Hmm? Oh right, practice...later." Willow said as she threw herself into Angel's arms and kissed him.
When they finally pulled apart Angel looked down at Willow.
"What brought that on?"
"What, you honestly think I could be pressed that close to you and have it not affect me? I know it affected you Angel." Willow said as she started to kiss his neck, proving her point by placing her hand over his erection and squeezing slightly.
"Willow..." Angel half warned half groaned.
"What, we're all alone her Angel. You made sure of that remember. Even the staff have disappeared. And don't I get to thank my teacher?"
"But what about your surprise?" Angel asked, already removing her jumper.
"It can wait." Was all Willow said before kissing him again and pressing her body against his, causing them both to groan.
Deciding that now was not the best time to argue Angel picked Willow up and lowered her to one of the soft seating areas behind the lanes.
And sure enough Willow did thank him, many, many times in the hours to come.
The End
