"I hope she does. I know how important to you she is, and I'd hate to come between the two of you in any way. The funny thing is that she doesn't look anything how I pictured her when I used to hear stories about her before for some reason, I expected this...superwoman, and she seems so...normal. I like her."
Pulling her top over her head, she then chuckled when Rupert threatened to close the lab so she wouldn't have to go in. "Or even better, I could mix Enverenti blood with mercury. That would force a lab shutdown in no time."
Once she was dressed, she climbed onto the bed and crawled over to him, resting on her side and facing him, her hand cupping his cheek. "I promise that if I come home and find you dead from malnutrition, that I'll properly grieve and curse the heavens for making food so hard to eat one-handed." She leaned forward and kissed him gently. "I was thinking, since we can't have the debriefing at the office today like you wanted, maybe I should ask everyone to come over here at the end of the day? That way you won't be totally out of the work loop for today."
“And if I die, you’ll never fall in love with another, yes?” Giles asked as he smirked. When Fred kissed him, he had to resist the urge to pin her down in the bed and make her stay. But he knew she had to go to work so he pulled back. “And that sounds like a brilliant plan, love. I’ll make sure to be out of bed and dressed by the time you lot get here.”
He was about to snuggle closer when he heard a car horn outside. Sighing, he moved back and looked at Fred. “I do suppose that’s Willow and Buffy. Good luck with the questioning,” he said with a smile. Giles then leaned forward and softly kissed her as they beeped the horn again. “You should go. I love you.”
When Fred left the room, Giles rolled over and picked up the cordless phone. He dialed Charlotte’s mobile and spoke to her for a few minutes before she agreed to bring the project over later in the morning. After ringing off, Giles sighed and stood from the bed, wondering if he was too early to call Fred.
