Part 5 - Deadboy is Back

**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**

The moment he was at her window she knew he was there waiting for her. They both knew of what was to come and though it wasn't time neither could stay away from the other any longer and with that she turned to the window and invited him in. Jus ths the last words left her his mouth came upon hers. When he finally allowed her to break away and breathe...she greeted him

"Hello my Angel"

"I couldn't wait any longer, I know it isn't time but I don't care, I had to see you, to touch you, to taste you..." he trailed off again as he dragged her into his embrace and another passion filled kiss.

After a while they reluctantly e awe away from one another and walked towards the bed, Angel sat just before pulling Buffy into his lap. As she traced a finger along his jaw Angel's mouth turned to capture the finger tip between his teeth and suck the finger into his mouth. Buffy gave a slight moan in response and ground her ass into his groin. After a moment or so her finger slipped from his mouth.

Angel asked the question that has been on his mind for sometime knowing only his love could answer "Buffy what is happening here, I don't understand I want you so much and I can't seem to..." he trailed off unsure on how to explain the feelings going on inside, in his mind, in his heart, racing in his blood.

Though she being his mate knew without words what her vampire was feeling and why he was feeling the way he was. "Angel do you remember a man, actually a demon he goes by Whistler?" In response she got a quick nod then as an after thought he added "He was the one, the one that brought me to see you just as you were called."

She nodded silently and moved to rest here head on his shoulder as he began to finger the hem of her tank top.er aer a few moments spent in comfortable silence she continued "Well I've been having these dreams just a little while after you left is when they started. I really didn't think anything of it because well I just thought that I was missing you, you know?" She felt him nod and so she continued "Though me being me and this being the Hellmouth I should've known better, then Whistler showed up. He is even more cryptic than you were or are or whatever. She felt him chuckle. "Anyway he said that you came to Sunnydale for a reason and so did I. He said our paths were meant to cross and weave together." Her voice dropped to a hushed whisper "Things are changing my love, we're changing and there is nothing we can do to stop it."

After Buffy finished speaking they sat together for a long while after in a comfortable silence. Though soon Buffy yawned and Angel shifted them back onto the bed with Buffy pillowed on his chest. When he heard Buffy's breathing even out he pressed a soft kiss to here brow and just before drifting of himself he whispered "I know beloved...I know"

**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**

Just under Buffy's window, Whistler looked up at the darkened room and with a small smirk on his lips he turned and sauntered back out into the night.

**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**

The next morning as the first rays of light began to stream into the room; Buffy woke and dragged herself from Angel's embrace to close the blinds. When she turned she found the gaze of her lover fixated on her. After a moment she smiled a soft smile and said "Good Morning" He held out his arms to her and as she crawled back into his embrace he mumble a gruff “morning” and pressed a gentle kiss to her temple. They lay in a comfortable silence until they both unknowingly drifted of to sleep again, neither realizing how tired they were until now.

Xander was jolted awake by the shrill of the phone as he rolled over in bed he glanced at the clock realizing it was only 6:30 in the morning he picked up the receiver and grumbled "Somebody better be dead" He was met with the exasperated yet lightly tinged fear voice of Cordelia. "Oh my god thank god I caught you" er rer rolled his eyes wondering where else would he be besides bed at 6:30 in the morning. He was brought back from his thought when he realized Cordy was still rambling.

"Ok calm down Cor and start from the beginning and slowly it is like 6 in the morning" At the other end he could hear her inhale and exhale slowly before beginning again. "Ok I was worried about Angel, you know cuz of the extra brooding as of late so I came by his apartment but he wasn't there..." Before she could finish her ex decides to interrupt. "Yso hso he probably just hangin in the tunnels, doin whatever it is vamps do. I wouldn't worry"

"No Xander he looks like he left in a big hurry. Angel is like a total neat freak and would never leave stuff lying around like that. Also I had a vision and well it was of Buffy and Angel well more Buffy and Angelus..." She trailed off not quite sure on how to continue "Wait so you're saying physco-killer Dead-boy could be coming back." Xander waited for a reply soon his face etched with worry "Come on Cor, What are you saying?"

In a low but surprisingly steady voice she said "Not coming, he's already there"

The only words to pass the boys lips just before the phone slipped from his hands were "Oh my god...not again"
