The next day went great from Willows' perspective. She had caught up with the L.A. gang and had informed them about the major changes that had taken place in her life. They seemed to understand and accept her and Angel's new relationship or so she hoped they did. Now here they all were, sitting calmly and maturely researching a prophecy that was suppose to be coming and very soon. Willow looked around the room and her eyes settled on her mate. Angel was looking down for all purposes it looked like he was absorbed in the book but she could tell he wasn't really even reading it. Every once in a while he would look up at her when he thought she was too busy to notice and smile. She felt his happiness through their bond.

Wesley was at the table with piles of books in front of him. He was in full research mode. Then there was Cordelia doing the absolute opposite of Wesley, which meant pretty much sitting there doing absolutely nothing. She had one book open at some random page but she wasn't paying any attention to it.

"My God, why does Angel even have her here?" Willow mumbled to herself.

After a couple of seconds of wondering about Cordelia's usefulness or lack off, Willows began to think back to Sunnydale. Her friends…..well ex friends  and with all that had happened between them there was still one person that was constantly on Willows' mind. Xander. Why hadn't she talked to him yet? She couldn't believe that they hadn't talked about her relationship with Angel. They were best friends for crying out loud.

Angel looked over at his mate. Willow was his world and he knew when she was sad, mad or nervous. All of a sudden he could feel that something was bothering her. The expression on her face matched the hurt Angel felt inside of him.  He stood up and walked over to her, he was determent to find out what was hurting her. He could tell that she was worried about something and he wanted to help her. He hated seeing his mate unhappy.

Willow was pulled out of her daydreams by the figure of Angel walking towards her.

(Gods what that man does to me) she thought as she felt her body temperature rise a bit. {Shit Willow, he’s gonna think he was mated to a pervert}.

Angel smiled as he sat down on the couch next to her.

"Baby is that the only thing you think about?" he whispered making her blush.

Cordelia looked up and smiled at the couple. She was really happy for the two of them. Cordelia didn't know what Angel had said but she noticed Willow turning bright red and then smiling. Cordelia had a pretty good guess on what had been said. "Geez you two need to go and get a room or something," she teased.

Wesley looked up from his books and over at the couple and smiled briefly before going right back into his research mode.

Both Willow and Angel looked at Cordelia smiling.

"We are behaving mother." Angel responded childlike.

"Yeah…….right…..and that's why Willow is the color of her hair."

Willow couldn't do anything but laugh.

Cordelia went back to whatever she was doing and Angel turned his attention back to his mate.

"Baby, I'm glad you are feeling better but what was on your mind earlier? You seemed upset about something."

"Well…..it was nothing……..well sort of something………..but it's not important." Willow stumbled over her words.

"It has to be something sweetheart. I could feel it, there was something bothering you."

"Yeah it…..it's Xander."

"What about him?"

"Well I haven't talked to him yet about us and I don't know if Buffy's talked to him yet. I know if she has then we won't ever be friends again." She sighed regretfully.

"Why don't you call him?"

"If I do he might not want to talk to me especially if Buffy has gotten to him first. She could have turned him against me"

"There is only one-way to find out" Angel stood pulling his mate up with him.

"Where are we going?" Willow asked as she was dragged forward.

"To our room. You have to call Xander and I have to call Buffy."

"No Angel. I don't want to talk to him."

"If I have to talk to Buffy then you have to talk to Xander." He told her as they walked upstairs. "Wesley, Cordy, keep researching on that prophecy and let me know what you find out." He spoke over his shoulder as they made it to the top of the stairs and disappeared around the corner.

"Ok," they both answered in unison not really paying attention to what was going on with the couple.

Once in their room Angel sat Willow down on the bed then walked over to the phone, picking it up off of the receiver and handed it to her.

"Here, after you talk to Xander then I will call Buffy."

"No, I'm not ready to talk to him. Angel please don't make me." Willow pleaded.

"Then I am not going to talk to Buffy."

"That's not fair Angel." Willow tried to argue.

"Yes it is. It bothers you that he hasn't stayed in touch and you miss talking to him. I want you to call him and see if he is alright with us being together." Angel demanded.

"If he is your friend then he will understand." Angel tried to comfort her. He could feel her fear.

Willow hesitated for a moment then literally snatched the phone from Angel's hand.

"Mean……nasty…… rotten.....vampire." Willow mumbled as she dialed Xanders phone number.

"Yeah and you still love me. I am going to take a bath." Angel teased as he walked to the bathroom to give her some privacy.

Willow stuck her tongue out at him when he turned his back and she waited for someone to pick up and silently prayed at the same time that no one would.

***

Xander was sitting on his bed thinking about what Giles had told him yesterday about Buffy. Then Buffy called him telling him about Willow.

(Why do the vampires get all the girls) he thought. He was pulled out of his thoughts by the shrill ringing of the phone.

He picked it up  "Hello."

"Hel….hello." Willow squeaked from the other end.

"Hey Wils. How are you?"

"I'm good. What about y...you?"

"I'm ok….I….well……SHIT Willow why did you have to go with Angel when they’re where so many other guys out here?"

"I don't know why Xander. It…it just happened and I love him and he loves me and I did this spell thingy that was suppose to bring Oz back and it didn't, it brought Angel and things happened." She babbled out.

"Geez Wil's you got that all out in one breath. But I do understand Willow. I guess what you said makes sense. It happened its not like you planned it. I understand, I really do and I was really pissed when Buffy told me her version of you two getting together. I wanted you to tell me instead of her coming and lying to me."

"I am so sorry Xander but we didn't know how to explain it."

"It's okay. We are best friends Willow and there is nothing you could do to ever make us stop. I might get mad but I will never be insane enough to stop being your friend"

"So……are you….you known…………mad at me?"

"Yep I am but I love you too Willow and I want you to be happy…………and if deadboy, sorry……if Angel makes you happy then I am happy for the both of you."

"Thanks Xander…..I think."

"Just to let you know that if he……." His sentence was cut off by Willow.

"He wont ever hurt me Xander but it's good to know that I can depend on you." Willow tried to get out before things turned ugly. She really didn't want to push her luck.

"Ok. But I do have to tell you that Buffy quit slaying and is on a rampage over you and Angel hooking up. I think it would be best to stay out of her way until she calms down. I don't know what she may do." Xander warned.

"I kinda thought that. Is she really that pissed?"

"Yeah when she called me I know she was really upset. I don't know what we are going to do once the vamps hear about the slayer quitting. We won't have much of a chance."

"I know Xander, but don't worry Angel is going to call and talk to her after we get off the phone."

"What is he going to do? She won't listen to reason."

"He has to try. He is going to try to talk her back into slaying."

"I hope he does. She is the only person these vamps and demons are afraid of."

"I'm sure….well I hope she will listen to reason."

"Yeah she might."

"I'll call you later to let you know what she said." Willow informed him.

"Alright Will's be careful and don't forget that I still love you even though you are with that blood sucker."

"Thanks Xander but you don't have to worry about me. Bye."

"Bye Willow."

***

"ANGEL HONEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Willow yelled to get his attention from the bathroom until she remembered the vampire hearing thing.

Angel walked into the room, he was only in a towel tied loosely around his hips, leaving Willow a mouth watering view of his chest. She was beginning to get wet just looking at him.

(Why must he keep torturing me?) She thought.

"Yes baby." Angel smiled and looked over to his mate the scent of her arousal filling the room. "I was taking a bath remember."

(What the hell was I going to say?) Willow tried to remember as she felt that all familiar ache in the pit of her stomach every time Angel was around.

Angel tried to control his urges but he couldn't, Willow had the whole room full of her scent. Willow heard him growl a little as he walked over to the bed where Willow was sitting. He pushed her onto her back then climbed on top of her. Letting her feel exactly what his intentions were.

"No you don't mister you have to call Buffy first. I am going to take a long hot shower."

"No, I want you now Willow. I'll call what's her name later"

"Well you can't have me now. Now let me up."

Angel bent down and kissed her fiercely. Willow couldn't help it she had to return the kiss, he had that affect on her. She put her arms around his shoulders and pulled him even closer if that was possible.

"Mmmmm…I guess that's a yes." Angel moaned as he sat up a little too unbutton her shirt then returned to kissing her.

Willow was lost she knew that she was suppose to be stopping him but from the kiss alone she knew there would be no stopping him.

As Angel had unbuttoned her shirt earlier he slowly removed it and then moved in quickly to unhook her bra, sliding it off as he bent down to kiss her neck. At this point in time Willow had thrown her head back and was making little moaning noises that were driving him crazy.

Angel couldn't stop even if he wanted too. Willow had all his senses in over drive with the smell of her arousal and the moans which were only getting louder, an earthquake could happen and it wouldn't even register with him.

He moved from her neck down to her breast taking one nipple into his mouth then the other until both were as hard as they could get.

"Angel….please baby I can't stand it when you play with me."

"No….Willow you love it," Angel bent back down and kissed her neck, he was getting ready to undo her pants when the phone interrupted him.

{That Damn phone is getting on my last nerve} he thought as he had to pull away from his mate after about the fifth ring.

"Hello," he snapped at whoever was on the other end.

"Hello Mr. Mean Vampire. I was just calling because you have a visitor down stairs and you really need to see this person,” Cordelia told him from the other end.

"Who is it?"

"They told me not to tell you anything just come down and find out for yourself."

"I am not up for games Cordy if you are joking with me I will do something really drastic to you"

"I am not joking Angel you need to come down here and see."

"Tell them I'll be down in a second."

"Okay." She told him as she hung up the phone.

Angel hung up the phone then looked at Willow and shook his head.

"What wrong baby?" She asked trying not to jump on this man in front of her. But what Willow didn't know was that he was holding back the same urge for her.

"I have a choice ....I can go downstairs to meet this so called visitor or I can stay her and ravish you. Mmmmm…..let me think." Angel looked at Willow.

Angel grabbed Willow and pushed her down on the bed and began to kiss her neck. He pulled back and looked into her eyes. I pick......... ravishing you." He teased and went back to kissing her neck.

Willow squeaked this time and tried to stop him.

"Wait….wait….wait Angel go down and see who it is first."

Angel stopped and looked back up at her, his features were beginning to change as they always did when they got ready to make love.

"No," he smiled and started to untie his towel.

"But baby you know I want you just as mush as you want me but if I know Cordy and I do, she will be coming up here knocking on the door any minute."

Angel stopped and thought about it. He hung his head   knowing that Willow was right and said, "I am going downstairs to meet this visitor. You are going to stay here in bed and when I come back I am unplugging this damn phone and we aren't leaving here until we are satisfied."

"Ok baby agreed," Willow smiled as she rubbed herself against Angel making him growl.

Angel bent down and gave her a kiss on the lips pulling back slightly, "If you keep doing that then I won't be going anywhere."

Angel got up and went to his drawer pulling out a shirt. He put it on and buttoned it up then he went and got some pants and put them on. Willow was riveted she loved to watch him and she sighed and snuggled into their bed. Once he was presentable he walked out the door and down the stairs.

***

"Who wanted me Cordy?" Angel asked a little snappy.

"I do Angel."

"Buf….Buffy what are you doing here?" Angel shuddered as she got up from the couch.

"I'm here to see you and Willow."

"Why is that, I thought you were mad at us."  Angel asked still confused as to her reason for being here.

"I was. I was hurt as well but I calmed down after some serious venting." Buffy offered him a tentative smile.

"Have a seat Buffy and I will go and get Willow"

"Ok." Buffy made her way back to the couch.

Angel went back upstairs skipping two at a time. He didn't know why Buffy was here or what she wanted but he had to find out. When he made it back to the room Willow was sleeping and he really hated to wake her.

"Willow wake up baby," He spoke as softy as possible in order not to startle her.

Willow opened her eyes and saw her mate standing over her. That was a sight she could wake up to everyday.

"I'm up baby."

"You would not believe who's downstairs?"

"Who is it?"

"Buffy."

"Buffy…..wha….what is she doing here." She could feel the panic that name inspired within her.

"I don't know she says she wants to talk to us."

"Ok..... I'm coming."

Willow tidied herself up in record time and then her and Angel walked back down stairs.

"Hi Willow," Buffy jumped up and hugged Willow nearly startling Angel into a fighting stance.

"Hiya Buffy."

They stood there hugging for another couple of minutes before Willow spoke.

"Ummmm……Buffy mortal here.... oxygen becoming an issue." Willow tried to joke.

"Sorry Wil's but I am so glad to see you."

"Why?" Willow asked before she thought about what she had just said.

"I want to apologize for what I said to you two earlier and for not giving you a chance to explain."

"You forgive us." Willow asked not believing that this was the Buffy she knew.

"Yeah and to show you how much I am going to start slaying as soon as I get back to Sunnydale." She lied.

"Oh Buffy that's great." Willow told her overjoyed.

"I'm proud of you Buffy." Angel told her still not letting his guard down.

"You know I am proud of me too." Buffy teased. "How about we go out sometime this weekend before I go back to Sunnydale."

Angel and Willow looked at each other. They both thought he same thing, they knew that the time was close for their one day of the month intense passion session but they didn't know what day it was going to be.

"I don't know about that." Angel spoke as he broke eye contact with Willow.

"Ahhhh…….come on you two, I just want to show you just how much I care for you and I hope you have a wonderful life together. There is no telling when I might be able to spend time with my best buddies again."

"Oh….ok I guess it would be okay for me to go out on Saturday. What about you honey?"

Angel asked Willow.

"It's ok with me if I calculated right."

"Calculated what?" Buffy asked confused.

"Oh I think a prophecy suppose to be happening on Tuesday." Willow lied.

"You need any help?" Buffy asked.

"No Buffy we have it. They need you in Sunnydale." Angel told her.

"Well that's great still, we can go out Saturday. I will come and pick you up say around sunset."

"That's good." Willow told her.

"Ok gotta run I have some shopping to do and I am not planning on going back home until Sunday."

"Where are you going to be staying?" Angel asked.

"In a hotel down the street."

"Why not stay here? If Willow is alright with it." Angel asked.

"I'm ok with it."

"Naaaaaaa…..don't want to invade your privacy and plus I have already paid for the room."

"Ok then see you Saturday." Willow told her all too anxious to get back upstairs with her mate.

"See you in two days." Buffy told them as she turned and walked to the door.

"Bye Buffy." Both Angel and Willow said in unison.

"Bye. All"

Buffy went out into the light and headed back to her hotel room.

"I don't trust her." Cordelia told them after Buffy closed the door. She had witnessed the whole thing and Buffy was far too happy for them after they had told her of  Buffys' earlier reaction.

"Why not Cordy." Willow asked a little upset that she would dare talk about her friend like that.

"Because that was so snuff like. She is pissed at you two one day and then all .....I forgive you the next. I don't trust her and you shouldn't either."

"Well I do. People forgive and forget Cordy" Willow snapped.

"And that's why you are Willow and I am me. People may forgive but they don't always forget."

"Cut it out you two." Angel cut in noticing the tension grow in the room. "Where is Wesley by the way?" He asked trying to steer the conversation away from Buffy.

"He went to check out a few leads and then he’s going to go home and get some rest. He should be back tommorrow.

"How far did you two get on that prophecy?"

"Not that far. We kept getting stuck on this one part ".

"Which part?" Angel asked. "Maybe I can help on that one."

"I would love to show you but Wesley has the book."

"Ok. Call me as soon as he gets in because I want to know what we are in for."

"Yes sir."

"Bye Cordy." He said grabbing Willow by the hand and pulling her up the stairs behind him.

"Come on baby lets go back to sleep." Angel grinned hoping that Willow would calm down from her earlier argument with Cordy.

They walked into their room to try and finish what they had started earlier.

***

Buffy walked into the motel room with a smile on her face. She had succeeded in what needed to be done.

"Well?" Dracula asked.

"Well we are going out on a date Saturday night." Buffy told him.

"Good then we can put my plan into motion." He smiled as finally things were starting to go his way.

"What are we going to do?" Buffy asked him as she sat on the bed next to him.

"Well you get Willow to go to the bathroom at the club down the street from here. I have been there before and there is a door on the side of the building next to the women's bathroom. You will knock her out and hand her over to me then you will go back in and explain to Angelus what happened in your own edited version.  Then I will handle it from there."

"Ok but I want to be around when you take her power and her away from Angel. I want to see him hurt as much as he hurt me."

"Oh you will my dear. You will."

The both looked at each other and laughed.
