Quickly running her fingers through her hair, Willow took a quick glance in the mirror before she left her room.
Stopping at the top of the stairs Willow tried to calm her breathing. With a final check to her clothes Willow took a deep breath and headed down the stairs.
Walking into the kitchen Willow moved over to the counter and leaned on it.
"Hi Mom, Dad!" she said, a little too cheerfully, in an attempt to appear normal.
"Willow, hi honey. So, how was your day?"
"Um...it was okay."
"Good. So what did you do? Anything interesting?" Sheila asked.
"Umm...well, not really. I went to the library for a while then came back here."
"Oh. Did you see Angel there?"
"Um yeah. We talked for a while." Willow said, fiddling with her hands.
<...He told me he loves me, then we almost...kinda had sex. > Willow though to herself, blushing slightly.
"Oh good. Well, your father and I rented out a video. Do you want to watch it with us?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Oh, its called 'interview with the vampire'."
"Oh...um, that really doesn't seem your style Mom." Willow said.
"Well, we thought we'd try something different for a change."
"...Oh."
<Great, vampire movie...perfect. And here I was not ten minutes ago with one attached to my neck. Hmm...I suppose I could use it to find out what they think about the whole vampire issue...>
"Well, come on then Willow. You put the tape in and we'll join you in a minute once the popcorns ready." Ira said, breaking Willow out of her thoughts.
"Sure."
Willow walked into the living room, and had just put the tape in the machine and settled on the sofa when her parent entered into the room.
Once they were all settled willow pressed the play button and waited for the film to start.
Two hours later....
Pressing the stop button Willow stretched her legs and turned to face her parents.
"So, what did you two think of it then?"
"Well, it was...different." He father said.
"True, but I kind of liked it." her Mom replied.
"Maybe so, but at the end of the day it's still about vampires." Ira said.
"I know that Ira, but I did like that Louis character. He almost seemed human, like he regretted some of what he did."
"Oh please." Ira said laughing. "A good vampire? I've never heard of such nonsense."
"What," Willow said, speaking up for the first time. "You don't think here's such a thing as a good vampire?"
"Willow, I don't think there are vampires at all."
"O...Okay, you're right." Willow said, knowing fully well that they were real. "Let's just say there were such a thing. Do you think there could be good ones?"
"Willow, by what I've read about the myths of vampires, their very being and nature means that they could never be good. They're demons, creatures of evil."
"Oh."
"Why Willow, what do you think then?" Her mother said.
"Me?"
"Yes."
"Well...I would say that if vampires did exist and they were real, that I think that anything is possible."
"Meaning?" Sheila asked.
"Meaning, that yes. I do think that there is such a thing as good vampires. That it is possible for something as evil as that to turn good, to help fight against evil even."
"Willow, you do let you imagination run wild." Her dad said jokingly.
As they continued their conversation, with Willow defending the idea of good vampires, she slowly began to feel her eyelids start to droop.
Fighting a losing battle with her body, Willow soon fell fast asleep on the sofa.
Noticing that his daughter had fallen asleep, Ira moved over to the sofa and gently shook her shoulder in an attempt to wake her up.
Not getting any response, he tried again, but only succeeded with her stirring slightly.
Giving up, he bent down to pick Willow up and carry her to her room.
Brushing her hair away from her neck so it didn't get caught when he lifted her, he was about to pick her up when he noticed something on her neck.
Leaning in for a closer look, he turned to Sheila.
"Well, it looks like her and Angel did more than talking today after all." Ira said, looking back down at the reddish-blue marks that had formed on her neck.
End Part 21
Sighing to herself, Sheila bent down to inspect Willow's neck and examine the bluish marks. Standing back up Sheila looked at Ira.
When it became apparent that she was not going to say anything, Ira went to stand next to her.
"What, aren’t you going to say anything?" he asked.
"What do you expect me to say Ira?"
"I don't know, anything. Look what he did to her. See, I knew he wasn't good enough for her."
"What, not good enough? Ira, all she has is a few love bites on her neck. It's no big deal, all kids get them at one time or another." Sheila said.
"But she lied to us about what they did-"
"Ira," Sheila said getting annoyed, "she's 18 years old. You can't honestly expect her to tell us everything she does with Angel. Did you tell your parents everything you did at her age?"
"No, but that's different."
"It isn't and you know it. And I don't want you saying bad things about Angel, espically when Willow's around. She's going out with him whether you like it or not, besides, I think he's good for her, and deep down I know you do too."
"You're right. I guess I was over-reacting a little bit, but she's my little girl. I want to make sure she's okay."
"I know you do, but she's not so little anymore. Now why don't you go and take Willow upstairs to bed."
Agreeing, Ira lifted Willow into his arms and carried her up the stairs to her room. Lowering her onto the bed, he removed her shoes and pulled the covers up over her.
Kissing her gently on her head, he walked out of her room and went back downstairs.
The next day,
Xander's house.
"Xander, I mean I just couldn't believe it. It's so obvious he's only doing it to make me jealous or something."
"Buffy-"
"I mean why else would her be with her?"
"Buffy?"
"Yes Xander?"
"Don't you think it's possible that he does actually like her?"
"Angel, like Willow? Oh come on Xander!" she said.
"But didn't he tell you that he loved her?" Xander asked.
"Yes, but don't you see, it's all part of his plan to get me back."
"No, I don't see. Angel doesn't love you anymore Buffy, you've got to accept that."
"What? Xander how can you say that, I know you don't like Angel but I though you'd want him with me more than Willow." Buffy said.
"Yeah, well I thought so too, but I really believe her cares about her." Xander said.
"What, why would you say that, you didn't even know about them till I just told you."
"Um, well…."
"You didn't right? Xander?" Buffy asked.
"Buffy, I…I wanted to tell you but it wasn't my place-"
"What, how could you! When, when did you find out?"
"A few days ago. I was walking over to Willow's to talk to her and I saw them together outside her house."
"What, so you all just got together and decided to keep this from me?" Buffy said.
"They don't know I know. When I saw them I hid in the shadows, I though it'd be easier. When I saw him with her…kissing her I wanted to kill him."
"Then why didn't you?"
"Because, as I watched him with her I saw how much he cared about her, by the way he held her, kissed her. And I saw how happy he made her. As much as I tried to hate him for being with her, I couldn't." Xander said.
"Why not?"
"Because, Willow's my best friend. And if she's happy, because of him it's all I need. I know that no matter what I may feel towards Angel that he'll take care of her. And I don't want to lose her as my friend over this."
"Oh." Buffy said looking at her hands.
"And if you don't want to lose her as a friend, or Angel, then you're going to have to accept this too."
"Why should I? I've already lost Angel."
"As a boyfriend yes, but if you don't stop how your acting, you're going to lose them both as friends as well."
"Bu…but…."
"Buffy, you and Angel have broken up. You've gotta let it go."
"I know, I just…I just don't want to be alone." Buffy said as a tear slowly slid down her cheek.
"Oh Buffy, your not alone, you still go us." Xander said as he held her, comforting her as she finally let go of Angel.
End Part 22
Willow awoke suddenly to the shrill beeping of her alarm clock. Hitting the snooze button she reluctantly got out of bed. Rolling her neck to get the kinks out of it Willow raised her hand up to her neck and started to rub it when it came to be sore. Curious, she walked over to the mirror and pulled her hair away form her neck and pinned it above her head. Turning her neck to the side, Willow was shocked to find a bluish mark on the side of her neck, where Angel had been attached only a few hours ago. Raising her fingers up to it, she gingerly touched it, and was relived to find it didn't hurt unless she put pressure on it.
<I can't believe it, Angel gave me a hickey! > She though to her self as she examined it further. <A love bite. >
<Ugh, I guess I'll have to find a way to hide it from my parents now. Great, Just great. > Willow thought as she walked away from her mirror and headed towards the shower.
Downstairs…
"-and remember Ira, to be tactful, don't go all protective on her!"
"Alright, I'll behave okay, I won't say anything to her. Just be sure to talk to her about it."
"I said I would, just relax." Sheila said through gritted teeth. "Come on, we can do this later."
"Relax, oh yeah I can-"
"Ira!"
"Sorry…"
Willow's room…
Willow exited the bathroom as she rubbed a towel through her hair. Setting it down on her desk chair, Willow walked over to her closet and looked for something to wear. After a short while of trying to find something to hide 'the evidence'. Willow finally settled on a pair of figure hugging trouser that she had got as a present and never dared to wear before and a polo neck shirt. Not the most original choice granted, but it was all she had.
Getting dressed, Willow went over to her dresser and picked up her hairbrush. Running it through her damp hair, Willow twisted it up above her head and secured it with a clip.
Walking over to her bed, Willow sat down on it and tried to gather her thoughts for the events of the past few days.
It was just all so much to take in. her parents finding out about Angel, seeing Buffy and Angel together, Angel telling her he loved her, and vice versa, and them almost having sex on her bed. Everything was all just happening so quickly, she almost couldn't keep up with it all.
Deciding she couldn't stand being coped up with her thoughts any longer, Willow got up and headed down the stairs.
Reaching the bottom, Willow could hear her parents talking quietly in the kitchen. Deciding she didn't want to face them just yet, she snuck out the house and walked down the street.
Willow had been walking for hours and she still hadn't made anymore sense of things. Unsure how to best deal with it all she decided for now just to got with the flow of things.
Looking up, Willow realized that she was approaching the mansion. She was about to turn round and head home, too embarrassed to face Angel just yet, when it started to rain. Realizing that she hadn't worn her coat out, she decided to carry on up to Angel's.
The mansion…
Slowly pushing the door open, Willow crept inside, not wanting to wake Angel.
Wandering around the mansion exploring for a while, Willow eventually found herself back in the living room.
Standing in the middle of the room, Willow noticed a painting hanging on the wall that she had not noticed before.
Walking over to it, she examined it, captured by its beauty. She was in fact so caught up by the image the she didn't realize that she was no longer alone till she felt a pair of strong arms encircle her.
Jumping slightly in shock, Willow looked up to find Angel starting at her. Turning back to the painting, she shuddered slightly at the feel of his bare chest pressed against her, but soon relaxed into his arms, resting her head against her shoulder. After a while, Angel turned Willow away from the paining towards him.
"I'm sorry Angel. Did I wake you up?"
"No, I was already awake, I couldn't sleep."
"Why not?"
"I couldn't stop thinking about you." He stated.
"Oh." Willow said, blushing slightly at his comment. Changing the subject, she looked back over to the paining.
"It's a beautiful paining Angel. Where on earth did you get it?" Willow asked.
"Oh, I got it in a lovely part of Ireland back when I was still alive. I only just found it again. But I have a better question. How come you're you’ re here. I though we were meeting later at the library?"
"We were. I was just out walking when it started to rain and I found myself here." She said.
"Oh well in that case it's okay." He said smiling.
"And if I'd come her for other reasons that would have been bad?" Willow asked.
"No, I didn't say that. Any reason for you to be here is good." He said as he pulled her in for a kiss.
Pulling away after a moment, Angel watched Willow and she ducked her head down shyly. Looking at her, he noticed the top she was wearing. Realizing that she didn't normally wear polo necks he slowly ran his hand up her arm and rested it on her shoulder.
Looking into her eyes, he trailed a finger up her neck to the top of her shirt. Hooking his finger inside it, he slowly pulled it down to reveal the mark beneath.
Looking up into her eyes, he watched as she blushed from his gaze.
Releasing her shirt, he leaned down and kissed her. "I guess I should apologize for doing that, but since I'm not sorry they'd be little point wouldn't there."
"Well, at least your honest." She said, leaning her head against his bare chest.
"Why, are you sorry it's there?" he asked.
"No," Willow said as she started to absently run her fingers along his chest. "But I'm gonna hate trying to explain it to my parents."
"Then don't." he said, trying to ignore the feeling she was creating in him.
"Angel?" Willow said, breaking him out of his thoughts.
"Yes love?"
"Are you worried about tonight? About seeing the others after the was Buffy reacted before?"
"Sush Willow, I don't want you to worry about that."
"But are you?"
Shuddering slightly as Willow's nails grazed over his nipples, he spoke. "Honestly? I am a little concerned. But I think everything will be all right. Don't worry about it love."
"Okay."
Getting more and more distracted by Willow's movements, he reached up and grabbed her hand.
"Don't do that."
"Don't do what?" Willow asked confused.
"What you were doing. It…distracts me."
"Oh." Willow said, about to lower her hand when she got a better idea.
"So if I do this…" Willow said as she escaped Angel's hand and began to run her nails down his chest.
"It would be bad?" she asked innocently.
"Willow." Angel warned.
Ignoring him she carried on. "And this would be bad too?" she asked as she brushed up against him and lowered her other hand to his butt.
"When did you become so bold?" Angel asked, trying to ignore what she was doing to him.
"I dunno. Last night? Before that? I'm not sure, but I'm sure I have you to thank for it." Willow said as she trailed her hand back up his chest again.
Trying to fight the feelings that Willow was causing in him, he had just about succeeded when hi felt Willow's tongue trail up his neck and started to suck the flesh there.
Giving up trying to fight it he pulled her away from his neck and ran his tongue across her lips seeking entrance.
As Willow parted her lips slightly in response, Angel took the opportunity to slide his tongue between her lips and explore her mouth.
Moaning audibly at the intrusion, Willow reached out with her own tongue until she came into contact with Angel's shuddering as their tongues began to do battle.
When Angel finally pulled away to allow Willow some much needed air, he took the opportunity to lead her over to the couch. Laying down on it, he pulled her on top of him and wound his fingers into her hair, pulling her down to meet his lips once again.
Sighing against his mouth decided to push her fears of what might happen aside and give into the feelings he was creating in her.
Releasing his hold on her hair, he ran his hands down her back to they fell on her waist. Pulling her closer to him, he felt her gasp as she came into contact with the evidence of his desire.
Smiling into her mouth at her reaction, Angel took hold of her waist firmly and flipped the over.
Looking down at her he gave her what she though was the sexiest smile she has ever seen.
"So Willow," Angel said as he placed feather light kisses all over her face. "Do you still want to meet the others or do you want to stay in?"
End Part 23
So Willow, what your answer. Do you want to stay in or go see the others?"
"Umm…."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Library
Buffy looked at her watch again and sighed. "Where are they?"
"Buffy, they're only ten minutes late. I'm sure they'll be hear any second."
"You think? Well, why haven't they called to let us know? We do worry."
"Buffy-" Xander started.
"Oh no! What if it's me that's delaying them?"
"Self important much Buffy?" Cordelia said.
"No, I don't mean like that." Buffy said to Cordelia annoyed.
"What I mean is that while I was all bizarre here yesterday I…I kissed Angel to try to get him back and Willow walked in on us, then she ran off with Angel following her. What if she thinks me and Angel got back together and won't listen to him."
When Buffy had finished they all sat in silence, pondering what she had just said.
After a few minutes all lost in their respective thoughts on the matter Buffy got up. "I'm going to call Willow and see what's going in."
Just as she was about to head into the office the doors swung open, and Willow and Angel walked in together.
Breathing a sigh of relief at the sight of them, Buffy noticed their joined hands and smiled to herself.
Walking towards, them, she stopped when she noticed Willow take a step backwards and Angel move slightly in front of her.
Hurt at their actions, though she couldn't blame them, the smile faded from her face and she turned around and retreated to her seat at the table.
Waiting until Willow and Angel had made themselves comfortable at the table as well, Xander suddenly stood up.
"I don't know about the rest of you but I'm starved. I'm gonna go and get some snacks, wanna come with me Cordelia?"
"Um, I don't-" at seeing the 'leave them alone' look he was giving her she stood up as well. "You know what, on second thought's I'm a bit hungry myself, let's go."
Passing Buffy as they left the library, Xander smiled reassuringly in return to the pleading look she gave him, before following Cordelia out of the door, wondering what they were going to do until the three of them had figured their problems out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Buffy, we need to talk." Angel stated.
"I know." Buffy said quietly.
"Buffy, we want you to know that we never-"
"Um Will," Buffy said cutting her off, "please let me say what I have to first."
Giving Angel a looked of combined confused and worried she nodded her head.
"Okay, firstly, I guess you figured things out with each other after the 'incident' in here yesterday."
"Buffy-"
"No Angel, please let me finish. I have to do this."
"Okay."
"Thank you. Okay, as I was saying, I see you guys have worked things out and I…I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for what I did and…and for how I acted. "Buffy stopped for a moment, trying to compose herself.
"I acted totally childish, and I had no right to act that way around either of you. I'm…I'm sorry for hurting you Will, and I'm sorry for the things I said to both of you. I just didn't know how to react when I saw you together. I let the jealously I felt take over and stopped thinking. I couldn't accept that you had moved on I guess Angel. I mean I knew what we had was over, I just didn't want to believe it and move on myself. It was easier living in denial than having to deal with it."
Wiping a tear away from her cheek, she took a deep breath and continued, still not looking at her friends.
"I won't lie and say it's easy for me to see you two together, and I'm not saying that I don't have feeling for you anymore Angel. But I think yesterday was the slap in the face that I needed to realize that I have to move on with my life, and now I can start to do that and let go. And…and I don't want to lose my friendships with either of you because of this. I'm just so sorry for how I acted…" she stopped then, unable to stop the tears that now overcame her.
"Oh Buffy," Willow said moving to her side and hugging her, her heart going out to her friend. "It's okay, I'm not mad at you. I could never be. We're best friend after all right?"
At Buffy's nod of agreement Willow smiled.
"And I'm sure Angel's not mad at you either." Willow said, sending a pleading look over to Angel.
"No, I'm not mad at you Buffy, I'm just glad you can let go now, and it'll make all the boys of Sunnydale ecstatic now they know you're free to date again." Angel joked lightly, trying to ease away some of the tension in the room.
Despite the situation, Buffy was unable to stop the small laugh that escaped her body. Looking up to face her friends she smiled and wiped the tears away from her face.
"Um guys, now that we're okay with each other, I think you guys should leave."
At seeing the looks that crossed their faces she quickly added, "Oh no, I don't mean cos I don't want you here. It's just that we don't really have much research for tonight anyway, as Giles did most of it earlier, and I've got to patrol soon and well, we won't see Xander and Cordy for hours, so there's little use in you staying."
"Are you sure?" Willow asked.
"Positive. Now go okay, I'll call you tomorrow."
Hugging her friend again, Willow and Angel quickly left the library after they were sure she'd be okay and they weren't needed and headed back to Angel's.
As soon as they had gotten safely inside and the door had been close, Angel pinned Willow to the wall and kissed her deeply.
Pulling away after a few moments to breathe, Willow said, "See aren’t you glad we went there instead of staying in? I mean we got this whole thing with Buffy sorted out."
"I suppose." Angel said. "But now I plan to pick up from where I left off, and this time we aren’t going anywhere, I don't care if the world is going to end."
"I didn't say I was going to go anywhere Angel, I'm more than happy to stay." Willow said smiling at him, before Angel leaned down and kissed her again, pushing any lingering thoughts she may have had of going, flee her mind completely.
End Part 24
Breaking the kiss, he pulled her away from the wall and picked her up, causing a small shriek of laughter to come from Willow.
Carrying her across the room, he sat down on the couch, and pulled her on top of him, so she was straddling him.
Wrapping his arms firmly around her, he pulled her to him and kissed her deeply, pleased when she opened her mouth up to him.
Slipping his tongue into her mouth, he began to explore the depths there. Sliding one hand up her back, he tangled it into her hair, pulling her head even closer to him, while his pressed her body more firmly against his with the other.
When the finally had to break apart to allow Willow to breath, he busied himself with kissing every possible part of her face. First her eyes, then her nose, her cheeks till he finally came to her mouth once again.
Giving her lips a quick kiss, he was pleased to here the moan of protest that escaped her lips when he moved his away from hers after only a moment.
However, not giving into her demands, he instead moved across her face and started to nibble on her ear instead, before biting down gently on it. Moving away from her ear, he trailed his lips lower, giving her neck a quick kiss but otherwise avoiding it.
Instead, his moved back up to her lips and kissed her, where she responded hungrily, moving her arms from his shoulders and into his hair, pulling him hard against her, determined not to have him break away from her again any time soon.
While they continued to kiss, the passion between then rising at a fast rate, his arms moved down to the bottom of her top and slid his hands underneath it. Rubbing small circles on her back with one hand, the other inched higher until it came to her bra.
Pulling his mouth away from Willow's for a moment to allow her to breathe it seem that she hadn't even noticed what he was doing, being distracted by what his mouth was doing instead.
When Willow had gotten the air that she needed, she pulled Angel back to her, and kissed him again, surprising him by her movements.
Encouraged by her actions, Angel moved both of his hands round to the front of her shirt, and ran is hands lightly over the sides of her breasts, pleased when she didn’t pull away like the last time.
He ran his hands across them once more, before removing his hands from under her jumper.
Breaking the kiss between then, he looked at her, her lips red and swollen from his kisses and her cheeks flushed.
Looking into her eyes, he saw them to be dark with desire and filled with need.
Grabbing onto the ends of her shirt, he started to slowly pull it up her body, never taking his eyes off hers, watching her reactions to his movements. Pulling her top over her bra, exposing her breasts to him, Willow blushed, but did not stop his actions.
Angel finished removing her top and pulled it over her head, he threw casually onto the chair next to the sofa and forgot about it.
Looking back at Willow, he found her covering herself up with her arms, crossing them over chest. Looking her in the eye, he was please that he didn't see regret there, only nervousness.
Leaning in, he kissed her gently, slowly coaxing her mouth open before slipping his tongue inside her mouth. While they tenderly kissed, Angel covered Willow's hands with his own, and gently pulled her arms down to her slides, pleased when she kept them there.
His lips leaving her mouth, he moved them over the mark he had left the night before on her neck, rolling his tongue over it, causing Willow to moan in pleasure.
Continuing his movements, his gently nipped at the mark, before sucking on it like he had before, noticing her breathing deepen as she surrendered her neck completely to him, her body completely at ease at that moment.
Observing this, Angel moved his hands away from her arms and moved them gradually up her body, until her once again came into contact with her breasts. Waiting to see how she would react to this, she simply arched into his hands. Satisfied with this, he moved his mouth away from her and lowered it to her shoulder, where he started to nibble gently on it, biting it on occasion with his dull teeth, before moving downwards.
Reaching the valley between her breast, he kissed his way down while gently massaging her breasts with his hands.
Reaching over, he ran his tongue over one of then, before circling his tongue over her nipple. Causing her to lean into his touch, pressing herself closer to him. Smiling at her actions, she ran his tongue over her nipple, before biting down on it gently through the fabric of her bra, causing her to gasp in surprise.
Turning away from it, he gave her other nipple the same attention, loving the sounds it was invoking in her.
Raising his head up, he kissed her, while she took the opportunity to rearrange herself on Angel's lap to make herself more comfortable. It was then that she heard Angel groan deeply. Afraid for a moment that she may have hurt him, she quickly realized why he had made that sound, at the feel of herself pressed up against his erection, straining against his trousers.
Throwing his head back against the back of the sofa and closing his eyes, Angel groaned again as Willow brushed up against him once more, making his already rock hard member harden even more at her touch.
He had tried to ignore his own need from the moment he had first pinned Willow against the wall, trying to concentrate on her pleasure, but her actions had brought it back to the forefront of his mind.
"Willow…" he groaned, the need in his voice evident.
"What is it Angel?" Willow whispered into his ear, leaning towards him, pressing herself against him.
When he didn't respond, she snickered quietly to herself, realizing the position she had over Angel at that moment.
Leaning down to his neck, Willow started to kiss and suck on it, like he had before early, and started to rock her hips against Angel's, rubbing herself against him.
Opening his eyes, he pulled Willow away from his neck, and pulled her to his mouth, in a kiss filled with need and longing.
Sitting up straight, he rocked his hips against hers too, causing her to match his own moans as the desire they felt for each other rose at a lightning pace.
Turning them suddenly, he flipped them on the sofa, so Willow was now laying down with him on to of her, his erection pressed firmly against her.
Looking up at Angel, Willow squirmed a bit, desperate to relive some of the tension that had fast begun to build up inside of her. Even though she was nervous. She pushed her fears to the back of her mind, knowing that whatever happened to her tonight that Angel would never hurt her or make her do something she didn't want too.
Grinding his hips against hers, angel tried to relieve some of the pressure that was building up inside of him.
Reaching up, Willow pulled Angel's head down to hers and kissed him, no longer soft and tender, but desperate and needy, as their hips ground together, in a mimic of what was to come.
Reaching up, Angel snacked his hands around to Willow's back, finding the clasp of her bra. Grasping it, he was about to open it when he heard a knock at the door.
Growling at the intrusion, Angel ignored it and continued with what he was doing.
At the sound of the door being knocked on again, this time more forcefully, he got off Willow and stood up.
Looking down at Willow laying there, her eyes burning with desire, he face flushed, he had to fight the urge to tear apart the person who had dared interrupt them.
Leaving down, he kissed her, and promised to be back soon.
Walking across the room, he re-arranged his shirt so it covered his rather prominent 'condition' and opened the door, only to be face with…
"Hi, how are you today sir? I'm Dave from Aspen Windows and I'm here to tell you about the great reasons why you should consider buying windows from us! If you look at other retailers compared to us, you'll find that…"
Angel just stared as the salesman continued to talk about the 'wonders of windows'. He could not believe that he had been interrupted and taken away from Willow for a salesman, who didn't seem to understand that if someone didn't open the door, it was for a reason.
Snapping out of his introspection, he interrupted 'Dave'.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested." He said politely, more so than he felt.
"But sir, I think if you you'll find that comp-"
"I said no!" Angel growled and slipped into his game face as he advanced on the man. "Go away or I'll make you! Do you understand?"
Nodding his head fearfully, the man picked up his briefcase and headed quickly down the path and down the street.
Closing the door, Angel rested his head against it and tried to calm himself, not wanting to frighten Willow by letting her see him like this.
Taking a deep breath in an attempt to clam himself, and slipped back into his human façade and headed back over to Willow, his murderous impulses now under control, which disappeared totally as soon as he saw Willow still lying there, looking at him questionably.
"It was a salesman." He said simply as he walked over to her.
"Oh, was-"
her sentence was cut off however as Angel suddenly picked Willow up and headed down the hall.
"No more interruptions." He said simply as he headed to the bedroom.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Entering his bedroom, Angel walked into the middle of the room and set Willow on the floor.
Reaching out, he pulled her to him, pressing his erection against her, needing to show her what she was doing to him.
Leaning down, he kissed her and backed her towards the bed.
Feeling her knees bump against the mattress, Willow allowed herself to be lowered down onto the bed, her head resting against the pillow.
Climbing onto the bed himself, he crawled over to her, covering her body with his.
Looking into her eyes, he pressed himself against her as his arms snacked round and finally undid the clasp for her bra.
Keeping eye contact with her the entire time, he slid the straps down her shoulders, before pulling it away from her completely, discarding it.
Turning his attention back to Willow, where he was pleased that this time she didn't try to cover herself up, even though she was now more exposed than before.
Kissing her neck, he moved his mouth down to her shoulder, nibbling on it for a moment before moving lower to nuzzle her breasts.
Turning his attention towards one of them, he swirled his tongue around the nipple, causing Willow to suck in a deep breath, before finally sweeping his tongue over the nipple itself, then bit down on it gently, causing her to moan.
Turning his attention to her other nipple, he gave it the same attention as the other, before finally returning to her mouth, kissing her intensely.
Moving of Willow, so he lay beside her, he turned her head towards him and continued to kiss her, while lowering his hands to the waistband of her trousers.
Moving is hand under the tip of her trousers, his hands caressed her stomach for as much as the tight trousers would allow, before removing his hand.
Moving it to the button of her trousers, he deftly undid it with a single hand, the other busy playing with her nipples, and moved the zip down.
Bringing his lips away from hers, he sat up, and motioned for her to stay still.
Moving so her straddled her legs, he started to pull the trousers off of her, helped by Willow raising her hips.
Sliding them downwards, they released her underwear to his view. Pulling them further down her legs, stopping to remove both their shoes and socks, before he finished removing her trousers from her body.
Moving back up the bed, he looked her in the eye as he reached down and lightly ran his finger along her, feeling the dampness of the cotton that separated him from her core.
At the feel of Angel touching her there, she stiffened, her fears about what she was doing coming back to her.
Noticing this, Angel stopped his actions and turned to look at her. Taking her face in his hands, he kissed her gently and smiled at her, trying to re-assure her.
"Willow, we can always stop if you want too." He said.
"No, Angel. I…I don't want to. It's…it's just that I'm…"
"Nervous?" Angel asked.
"I guess, yeah. I mean I know I shouldn't be, but this is all new and-"
"I understand Willow, really. You've just got to relax. Remember if you ever want to stop we will. You've only got to ask. You know that right?"
"I know Angel…" Willow trailed off. "Angel…"
"Yes?"
"Kiss me." She said simply, to which Angel was happy to oblige.
After what seemed like sereral minutes, Angel once again took one of her nipples in his mouth, laving it with his tongue, while twisting and squeezing the other with his fingers, eliciting a whimper to escape her mouth.
Releasing her nipples from the attention of his hands and mouth, he brought his lips back up to hers, nibbling on her lips, while his hand slid down below her stomach and slowly moving downwards till he finally came across the top of her underwear.
Slowly, he trailed his finger along her, causing her to gasp. Taking advantage of this, he quickly slid his tongue into her mouth, plundering the depths gently with his tongue.
At the feel of Angel touching her, Willow felt like a bolt of electricity had run from her whole body to where Angel's fingers were.
Moving down her body, Angel left kisses as he went, kissing his way down her stomach until he reached her panties.
Slipping his finger under the waistband, he pulled it down a little, looking towards Willow for a reaction, and found her to be staring at him intently. Taking that as a sign to continue, he spoke to her.
"Raise you hips off the bed Willow."
Doing as he asked, he gently pulled them down off her, reveling her sex to him. Pausing for a monment, before pullnig them down further until they left her body entirely.
From his position at the end of the bed, he let his gaze travel over her body, making her squirm under his stare.
Realizing that he was still fully dressed, he decided to even the odds a little, and removed his shirt, throwing it on a nearby chair. Then he unbuttoned his trousers, and pulled them down off his body, leaving him only in his boxers.
Willow sucked in a deep breath as she saw him remove his trousers, his arousal now much more visible to her as it strained against the thin material.
Looking at him, she saw him crawl back up and kissed her.
Running his finger down her body, he ran it along her, feeling himself harden even more as he felt her sex, no longer covered by her panties.
Watching her face carefully, he ran his finger along her again, pleased as she raised her hips slightly to get more contact.
Watching her, he gently slipped a finger inside her, pleased to find how wet she already was.
At his entering her, he felt her stiffen, but she soon relaxed, and fidgeted against his hand.
Taking that as a sign to continue, he withdrew his finger before entering her again, setting a slow rhythm, pleased at the sounds he was invoking in her.
Inserting a second finger, he heard her moan deeply, and looking up at her face, he saw her eyes had closed.
Withdrawing his fingers from her, he smiled at her disappointed whimper, which fast turned to a cry of pleasure as he ran his fingers over her clit before pinching it slightly.
Removing his hand from her completely now, he moved his body over hers and kissed her, groaning low in his throat as his silk clad member came into contact with her heated sex.
Sliding down her body, he parted her legs and snaked his tongue out and ran it across her, emitting a shocked gasp from Willow.
Repeating the action, she raised her hips off the bed desperate for more contact. Placing his hands firmly on her thighs, he stopped her movements, and went back to what he was doing.
Running his tongue along her outer lips, he spread them apart with his fingers, and darted his tongue inside to taste her, causing her to shudder at his invasion.
As he continued to explore her depths, Willow was making an almost continuous moaning sound, as he brought her closer and closer to the edge.
Willow couldn't believe the feelings that Angel was creating within her. She felt like she never had before, and if Angel could make her feel like this now, she could only begin to imagine what he would make her feel like when he was inside her.
Willow's thoughts however were cut off and a cry escaped her lips and Angel fastened his lips on her clit and had begun to suck lightly on it.
She couldn't believe the way she was feeling, releasing her hands from the bed sheets, she wound them in Angel's hair, trying desperately to get more pressure where she needed it.
Willow had never felt like this before, her whole body felt like it was on fire, centering where Angel's mouth was.
At that moment, a whole army of vampires could have burst through the doors, and Willow wouldn't have cared, being totally lost in the sensations Angel was causing in her. The more he carried on, the more her need for release grew.
Finally not able to take Angel more she spoke.
"Angel, please." She moaned desperately.
"What Willow, what do you need?" he whispered, his lips vibrating against her.
"I…I need…" Willow trailed off, not sure how to tell him what she wanted.
Understanding what she meant, Angel decided to stop teasing her.
"Is this what you want Willow?" he asked, as he re-inserted two of his fingers into her, only to get a low moan in response.
"This maybe?" he spoke, before lowering his lips once again to her clit, causing her to whimper.
Moving his fingers in and out of her, he could tell how close she was, how badly she needed to come. Speeding his fingers up, he thrust them in and out of her, while sucking more harshly on her clit.
Quickly glancing up at Willow, he found her head thrown against the pillow, her mouth slightly open as an almost continuous moaning sound escaped her lips, her whole body withering on the bed.
Feeling his erection surge at the fact that he could do this to her, he bit down on her clit with his dull teeth, pushing her that last step over the edge.
Closing her hands in a vice like grip on his hair, she screamed out his name, crushing her legs against his head as wave over wave of pleasure came crashing down upon her.
As Willow continued her orgasm, he hungrily lapped up her juices, wanting to remember every taste and moment of this night, to burn it permanently into his mind.
As Willow finally calmed down, he finished licking her until she released his head and he was free to move up her body.
Moving up her body, Angel looked down at Willow, here breathing shallow as she recovered from the after effects of her orgasm. Looking at her, he took in her flushed cheeks, her parted lips and half closed eyes and felt a surge of joy at the fact that he had done this to her.
Leaning down he kissed her, causing her to open her eyes and looked at him.
Pulling away from him she looked into his eyes and smiled.
"Wow." Was all she could say, unable to find the words to describe how she was feeling at that moment.
"It gets better," he whispered against her lips, pressing himself against her sex.
Willow had no response except for the low moan that escaped her lips at the feel of him against her.
Realizing that Angel had been focus entirely on her pleasure and pushed his to the side, Willow pushed Angel off her and sat up.
Pushing him onto his back, she moved her hand down to the waistband of his boxers and ran her hand along it. Amazed at how tight the material was, and the sight of Angel straining painfully against them.
Biting her lip in concentration, Willow started to pull the material off him, aided by him raising his hips.
As she pulled the shorts over his erection Angel hissed, until it finally sprang free, relived to no longer be in the tight confines of his underwear.
As she pulled them off him, Willow had somehow managed to avoid looking or touching his erection at all times, causing a small smile from Angel, amazed that after all they had already done she was still nervous.
When she had removed them, she sad by his waist, looking at him head to toe, though she skipped over his midsection.
Angel lay there, letting Willow take a good look at him, getting used to his body.
Finally coming to rest at his midsection, Willow's eyes rested on his arousal and gasped softly.
Though she had never really seen a man's penis before, except in the textbooks at school, she was sure Angel was in the above average category, because to put it bluntly he was huge. She wondered briefly how on earth he was ever going to fit inside her.
She wondered what if felt like, and she bit her lip wondering how to ask him.
As if sensing her thoughts, Angel spoke gently to her.
"It's okay Willow, you can touch it if you want to."
Smiling nervously at him, curiosity got the better of her, and she cautiously reached out her hand, touching the base lightly.
Slowly, she ran her fingers along the length or him, amazed at how soft the skin could be, but how hard at the same time.
As Willow trailed her hands over him, Angel threw his head back, in complete ecstasy as her un-experienced hands explored him for this first time, trying to learn every inch of him. And while Willow might have been doing this to explore, it was driving Angel crazy with need, his erection more painfully hard than he could ever remember it being.
Coming to the end of his length, Willow ran her hand over the tip, causing it to jump and Angel to hiss. Afraid that she had hurt him, she cast a look to his face to find him eyes closed and a look of complete pleasure on his face, And realized that she mush have done something right.
Running her hand along the tip once more, she ran her finger over it, covering her finger in the pre-cum that lay there. Curiosity getting the better of her, she brought the finger up to her lips and tasted him, surprised not to find it unpleasant like had she thought.
Angel was watching her from the corner of his eye, and as soon as he saw her raise her finger to her lips, he was sure he was going to come right there and then.
With great effort, he pushed back the urge to take her at that moment, wanting to let her finish her exploring first.
Lowering her fingers, she ran them back along to the base and down to him, and ran her fingers along his sac, scraping her nails over them.
That was the last straw, Angel knew that he couldn't wait any longer.
Drawing her up to him, he rolled them over she was under him and kissed her, though there was nothing gentle about this kiss, it was full of want and need.
Desperate to relive some of the tension he was feeling, he rubbed himself urgently against her, causing her to moan and rock her hips also, needing to desperately to relieve some pressure.
Looking seriously into her eyes, he gave her one finally chance to stop what was about to happen.
"Willow, if you're not sure about this, you need to tell me now. I don't think I'll be able to stop otherwise."
"Angel," she moaned desperately, " I don't want to stop. I need you. Please…" she begged.
Nodding his head he kissed her, and slid his hand between them and parted her legs.
Dipping his finger into heat to make sure she was ready, he found her to still be soaking wet.
Smiling in approval, he positioned himself at her entrance, and watching her the entire time, slid the head into her entrance.
At feeling Angel begin to enter her, Willow froze, the last of her fears coming to the surface.
Noticing this Angel spoke.
"Willow, have you changed you mind?" he spoke desperately, he was so close, the need to bring them both release overtaking most of his mind.
Reassuring him she shock her head. "No, I'm just nervous."
"Don't be." He said simply, kissing her and he slipped more of himself inside her, stopping every now and then to let her adjust to him.
When he had gone in as far as he could and hit her barrier he looked into her eyes.
"Willow, this is gonna hurt." He said.
"I know," Willow said, "but I need you."
Nodding his head, Angel engaged Willow in a passionate kiss, before thrusting all the way into her, causing her to cry out in pain.
Stopping so she could adjust to the size of him, Angel looked down at Willow and wiped her tears away.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Biting her lip she nodded her head, waiting as the pain subsided. When it had, she moved underneath him, the need that was there before re-surfacing.
Taking the hint, Angel began to move slowly in and out of her, wrapping her legs around his waist.
Holding onto his back, Willow simply threw her head back and moaned, at what she was feeling everytime he moved within her.
As Angel thrust in and out of her, he tried desperately to hold on, intent of giving her release first. But she was so tight and hot, and Angel was so hard he was not sure how much longer he could hold on.
Speeding up his movements, Willow started to thrust towards him, trying to take as much of him in her as possible.
As the pace quickened, Angel bent down and sucked a nipple into his mouth, making her cry out in pleasure.
Moving back up to her mouth, her kissed her.
Speeding up even more, Willow moaning almost continually, Angel knew he couldn't hold on any longer, her tight wall gripping him.
Snaking a hand between them, he started to fondle her clit, feeling her walls grasp around him in response.
The closer they both got, the more he could feel the demon within him come to the front.
Twisting her clit harshly Willow came, shouting out his name. "Angel!"
Felling her walls spasm around him, he came with a shout, biting into her neck with his dull that as he emptied himself inside her.
When they had both calmed down, Angel kissed her softly, feeling Willow still spasm around him.
After a few moments, he moved out of her, and lay down onto his back and pulled her on top of him.
Stroking her hair he apologized. "I'm sorry."
Willow's fears suddenly came back, afraid that Angel was sorry for what they had done.
"For what?" she asked unsure.
"For biting you. I couldn't help it, I'm sorry."
Realizing he was about to get broody on her she kissed him.
"It's okay Angel, you didn't use fangs, though I'll have a hell of a hickey tomorrow. Besides, fangs are good too."
"But I don't want to hurt you Willow."
"And you won't, but this is who you are, I don't want you ever hiding that from me."
And couldn't believe what she was saying, she continued to amaze him.
Kissing her, he replied simply. "Okay."
Reaching over, he pulled the covers over them, and soon they had both drifted off into a sated sleep.
End Part 25
Willow slowly drifted out of her peaceful sleep, and quickly came to realize that she was not alone. Panicking a moment Willow relaxed when she looked down and saw Angel's arms wrapped around her.
Sucking in a calming breath to relax her quickly beating heart, Willow let out a low laugh at her behavior.
She couldn't believe that she had reacted like that. It wasn't even as if it was the first time she had woken up in his arms, she had before they had even kissed and she hadn't freaked out like this. Well that wasn't true, she had freaked out, but not because she had woken up with him, but because she *had* wanted to wake up with him.
Giggling once again at her silliness, Willow snuggled deeper into Angel's arms, enjoying the feel of them wrapped around her.
Glancing briefly at the clock beside the bed, Willow noticed the time.
<Ten thirty. Wow, it's not as late as I thought it was, I though I'd be asleep till noon tomorrow after what Angel and I spent tonight doing. >
She was just about to go back to sleep when she noticed the two small letters next to the numbers.
AM.
<AM! It's morning. I've been here all night. > Willow thought panicking. <And I didn't even call mom and dad! >
Worry for her parents over taking her, she slid out of Angel's arms, ignoring his sleep driven protest as she left him and hurried into the main room, the daylight streaming through the window's, proving that which she already knew.
Picking up the phone, she hurriedly dilled her home number.
After the eight ring, she was beginning to think that no one was going to answer, and was about to hang up when she heard a fanatic voice on the other end answer.
"Hello?!"
<It's dad. God he sounds like hell. How could I do this to him, to both of them? >
Taking a deep breath she spoke.
"Hey dad…it's Willow…" she trailed off, not sure what she should say or where she should begin.
"Willow honey, where have you been? We were worried."
"Well…"
End Part 26
"Well…" she began, trailing off, unsure what to say. Hell, what could or should she say in a situation like this?
Taking a deep breath, she started again.
"Dad, I'm so sorry I didn't call to tell you I wasn't coming home last night. I…I didn't think I'd be staying out. As soon as I realised it was morning I called." Willow said, amazed that she hadn't been interrupted during her rushed speech.
"It's okay honey," Ira said, the relief in his voice evident at hearing his little girl was okay, only making Willow feel even worse. " It happens to everyone at sometime…So, where did you stay last night? Buffy's?"
"Um no." Willow said, deciding it would be best not to lie to him, but not tell him the whole truth at the same time. "I…er… stayed at another friends house last night. "
"Who's?" her dad asked, already guessing the answer.
"…Angel's."
"Oh."
"Dad, please don't be mad. I was just so tried, and I was only going to have a nap, but I guess I was more worn out than I thought." She said, not lying, but leaving out several key facts as to why she was so tired.
"Look honey, I think it's best if we have the rest of this discussion at home. We'll be waiting for you when ever your ready." He said, letting her take her time to sort herself, and her story out.
"Okay, thanks Dad. Bye." Willow said, and hung up the phone, relived that he hadn't got mad…yet.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
As she climbed the last step to her front door, Willow hesitated. She wasn't sure if she wanted to go in there and face her parents...alone.
Sure her Dad had sounded okay on the phone, not angry but relived more than anything. But she still couldn't help but feel nervous and worried.
After all, she had not only slept with her boyfriend, which she was damn sure her parents knew about, but she had also forgotten to let her parents know where she was. Even if it was a lie saying she was at Buffy's or Xander's. And as a result she had put them through hell, wondering where their only daughter was.
Sure she had been a little…distracted at the time, but it was still no excuse in her mind to forget to let them know she was okay.
Angel had woken up just after she had hung up the phone, and had found her curled up on the couch, staring into space.
Worried that something was the matter, she remembered the smile that had lit his face after she had told him that she was thinking of an alibi to tell her parents to explain what she was doing last night.
Now however, as she faced the door to her house, Willow would have given anything to be back at Angel's, sitting down on the sofa, having Angel's arms wrapped around her.
But there would be time for that later on, as before she had left his mansion, he had pulled her to him and captured her lips in a kiss that had left her breathless before telling her that he wanted to talk about what had happened between them after she was finished with her parents, to make sure everything was okay.
Her mind drifting back to the present, she took a deep breath, and pulled her door key out of her pocket and opened the front door.
Walking slowly inside as if she were facing her death sentence, Willow looked around for any sign of her parents. Not finding any immediate indications of their whereabouts, she closed the door behind her and headed further into the house.
After checking the living room and finding no sign of them, she headed out towards the kitchen.
After taking a quick look around, she was about to leave and look upstairs else when she heard voices outside.
Looking out the kitchen window, she found her parents talking quietly in the garden.
Stopping briefly at the fridge to grab a bottle of coke, she headed outside.
Hearing her footsteps as she approached them, Ira and Sheila turned around to face their daughter, waiting till she stopped in front of them.
"Willow honey, once again we need to talk."
End Part 27
"Ta…talk?" Willow said, fidgeting nervously with the bottle of coke in her hands.
"Yes Willow, and I think you know what its about." Her father said.
"Umm…"
"Willow, why didn't you call us to let us know you weren’t coming home? We were worried." Shelia said.
"Mom, I told you why, I fell asleep. I didn't even realise I had been asleep all night till I saw the clock this morning."
"And that's another thing young lady, since when was it suddenly okay for you to have sleepovers with boys?"
"But I thought that you liked Angel." Willow said looking at her parents.
"We do Willow." Her mom said. " But you're still our little girl. That means we want to protect you and make sure you're safe."
"But I was safe mom, Angel would never hurt me. And I told you I was sorry for staying over without calling."
"I know you did. I guess we just can't help being worried about you Willow." Ira said. "Is that so wrong?"
"No," Willow admitted. "But I'm not a kid anymore either. I have my own life now too. And…and what would you do if I said that I wanted to st…stay overnight again?"
"At Angel's?"
"At anyone's house where he'd be staying too. Or yes at his house, I mean he has a spare room and everything…"
"Look Willow, do you remember what I said to you before, about not doing stuff you didn't want too?"
"Yes mom," Willow said, embarrassed at talking about this in front of her father.
"Well then, as long as you keep in mind what I said to you and remember to call us, then I guess it'll be okay."
"Really?" Willow said not quite believing her ears.
"Yes. Now why don't you go and get changed into some clean clothes and we'll follow you in a moment."
"Okay mom," Willow said, a bright smile now lighting up her face.
As soon as Willow had gone inside, Ira turned to his wife.
"Sheila, are you sure it's such a good idea to let her stay over at his place whenever she wants too?"
"Ira, Willow's a smart girl, and look how happy we just made her. She's not a child anymore and we can't keep treating her like one. Besides that last thing I want is to lose her by saying no to this."
"I guess." Ira said with a sigh.
"Good."
"Why couldn't she just stay about…twelve years old forever?" He said with a chuckle.
"They have to grow up sometime." Shelia said. "Besides, think about it, with Willow staying over at Angel's some nights, we'll have the house to ourselves…"
"Ah, I knew there was an up side to all of this." Ira said talking his wife into his arms and kissing her.
Upstairs Willow turned away from the window looking over the garden and her parents as their kiss turned more passionate, shuddering. "Ugh, that was so something I didn't need to see. I'm gonna have nightmares for a month now…hmm, I may have to make Angel kiss them all better." She said with a smile on her face.
Walking back into her bedroom, Willow started getting changed, looking forward to seeing Angel in a few hours.
End part 28
A
short time later…
Willow had just closed the door to the mansion behind her, when she felt a strong pair of arms engulf her tiny form.
"Hiya," she giggled as Angel turned her around to face him giving her a gentle kiss, never letting her leave the confines of his arms.
Pulling away from her, he led them over to the sofa.
"So, how'd it go?" he asked as they made themselves comfortable.
Snuggling up closer to Angel on the sofa, she sighed.
"Well, it went better than I thought it would. They actually quite surprised me in their actions. I mean they didn't really shout or anything. They were concerned and all but that was it."
"So it went well huh?" Angel asked surprised.
"Yeah, they even said that it would be okay if I stayed over here again. Although I think they have ulterior motives." She said wrinkling her nose in distaste.
"And what would that be."
"I'll give you three guesses, but you'll only need one."
"Oh."
"Yeah." Willow said. "Don't get me wrong Angel, I think it's great that they still love each other so much, but it's…it's icky."
"Icky, was it icky last night when we did that Willow?" Angel asked as he started to place kisses on her neck.
"No! That was um…well you know. But this is my parents. It's different. But I suppose their need to have alone time does have its good points." Willow said pulling away from Angel.
"I'd have to agree with that." He said moving into kiss Willow again, only to have her pull away and stand up.
"Willow?" Angel asked confused. "Is there something else?"
"Yeah, just one little thing. My mom said it was okay if I stayed round here just as long as I slept in the spare room."
"Excuse me, but where did you say?"
"The spare room. You know to protect my innocence and all that. I mean you couldn't expect a good little girl like me to stay in the same room as a big sexy vampire now could you. Who knows what could happen to me."
"Oh I dunno, I could think of a few things." Angel said as he got up and captured Willow's mouth in a long passionate kiss.
When the finally broke apart Willow looked up at Angel.
"You see, that' exactly the type of thing I'm talking about. I mean who knows what could happen if I stayed in the same room as you."
"What if I tell you I'll behave myself?" Angel asked trying to look believable.
"Um, I wouldn't believe you. I remember the last time you said that to me remember." Willow said smiling.
"Ah, are you suggesting that I might take advantage of that fact that I'd bee in the same room as you?" Angel said with mock disbelief.
"No," Willow said, "I was kinda hoping on it."
"Really, but what would your parents say?"
"Who said I was going to tell them." Willow said with a smile on her face. "What they don't know won't hurt them after all."
"I was kinda hoping you'd say that." Angel said grinning.
"Good. So can I stay over again tonight Angel?" Willow asked. "After all I think we need to celebrate."
"Sure, but celebrate what in particular?"
"Well, the fact that my parents approve of us, as do our friends and Buffy surprisingly. Oh and the fact that I've found someone I love more than anything in the world who loves me back."
"Well, I agree that that's something to commemorate, but why wait until tonight." Angel said as he leaned over and kissed Willow before picking her up and heading to the bedroom.
"Why wait indeed." Willow said before the bedroom door was closed behind them.
THE END!!!
