I wasn't even sure how long it had been since I'd last seen her, seemed and felt like an eternity and I was being a total dork and pacing around the hotel like a crazed manpire. Small distractions seemed like they lasted for no time at all even though they consumed most of the day, for example Cordelia. She's always a handful and there's no getting

I figured it's been long enough since I stopped by to see Angel. Well actually I hadn't seen him since he bailed my ass out of prison...again and that really wasn't the best time ever to start makin' with the serious talk. Especially since he was too busy glaring at me and Connor in the rearview mirror like the bad little kids we sometimes were. Shit. This was beyond fucked up. Think I got a little taste of that already

I couldn't believe she'd actually come because part of me was still thinking the whole yacht thing was like a dream. It felt much easier than I planned on it being and maybe it was a trick. A set up. Something, but no here she was with that smirk I love.

"Surprised? No, just glad to see you. I was beginning to think that the whole conversation we had was a figment of my imagination." I smiled and sat down on the corner of my desk looking her over. Bailing her and Connor out was a little awkward but I was glad to do it, guess I shouldn't mention it.

"How have things been since the party? I didn't see any photographs in any of the magazines or anything. I was a bit relieved. Guess that's the perks of being rich, you can pay them off." I glanced away from her and at the door which I thought I heard open and then close. Maybe someone left, didn't matter.

"I'm glad you're here." I said quietly and brought my eyes back to her.

I raised an eyebrow when he made his little dig about being rich. Hey, I could give a shit less what showed up where but Harry was good at payin' off the press so that the pictures wouldn't end up spread all over the place. But that was bitter if I'd ever heard bitter and I knew that this wasn't gonna be an all happy conversation. Especially considering the circumstances

I guess the charm of the yacht had worn off by the tone in her voice and her body stance. I guess I shouldn't be all everything's okay because clearly it was far from okay. I was still feeling upset about this whole marriage thing but obviously I couldn't be too upset. She was a big girl right? I was an idiot right? Check on both accounts.

"No, he's just... been laying low. Sticking close to the hotel and Darla." I said taking my eyes from her and looking at a spot on the carpet. I wondered why Cordelia hadn't seen that and bought an area rug on the spot. I was actually surprised to find Faith in the cell with him, he had failed to mention she was along with him. I couldn't just bail him out, I had to get them both out.

"I'm guessing we still have a lot to talk about." I said after a long silence and I moved to sit on the couch across from the fireplace looking up at her.

Darla. Right. Another topic I didn't even wanna touch. I mean shit. Last time Darla was in town didn't Angel like totally obsess over her? Now what? He was over her cause I was the married chick? Fuck. Angel was so confusing sometimes I just didn't get him and then other times I was sure he was the only one I actually did get. Surprised he wasn't busy moonin' over Darla. She did meet the tiny blonde requirement

I swallowed over the lump of want in my throat as she exhaled and leaned against the wall. Did I totally have to check her out right now? Aren't we supposed to be having a serious talk here, I mean she is married. I suddenly didn't know what to talk about and realized this might be a problem. I stood up from the couch and walked behind it and ran my hand over my face before turning around to face her, my hands resting on the back of the couch.

"I don't know what I want to talk about." The words left my mouth before I even planned on them leaving. "I mean, I don't know what I mean. I guess I should be going over the whole I'm sorry I'm a complete idiot and I didn't tell... show you how I feel about you."

I wasn't even completely sure I could show her how I felt about her, Ghost's comments from earlier had me a bit spooked. But that didn't mean I wasn't going to try, hell who wouldn't. Faith was beautiful. If I just stayed behind this couch we didn't have to find that out right now even though I really wanted to. She'd looked so

I looked at him seriously for the longest time until he apologized for...well, everything. Quirking an eyebrow at him, I started to smirk again. Couldn't keep the damn thing off my face especially when he was being...well, he was always really hot. That didn't have anything to do with it and I knew I'd only get turned off if I started to refer to him as cute"Everything?" I asked him in an offhand kind of way. "Including threatening Harry?" His look got signifigantly darker and I only quirked that eyebrow up again. Guess it was everything except that part. "Right

[broody_manpire]

I knew that was going to come up but it wasn't like he hadn't threatened me by up and marrying the girl I was in love with that had no clue. She let out a snicker and came closer to me and I just wanted to reach out and grab her and...

I was going to have to bite the bullet here and deal with my Harry problem on my own. I mean honestly if I thought about it long enough he really didn't have anything on me in terms of knowing and loving Faith. I had him beat hands down, he was just one of those guys that buys up everything that interests him. That pissed me off he possibly saw Faith as that.

"Yeah. Cool." I finally said after a long drawn out pause and was she closer to me or was that my imagination? "It wasn't my intention to threaten him and you know I'd never hurt a human, Faith. I was just... feeling a little threatened myself, but I'll back down." Even if it kills me.

[neverbeenfree]

"Thank you." I said seriously as he looked everywhere but at me for a sec cause I knew it was killin' him that he couldn't just bulldoze me over and go beat the fuck out of Harry. But it wasn't Harry's fault. Harry just saw a hot girl and decided to offer her the world as much as he could. Really? He was just a nice guy who'd accidently married the wrong vampire's girlfriend

[broody_manpire]

I watched her kneel on the couch in front of me and I felt my body speed up and I tried to keep my cool. Her voice rolling over me like nothing I'd ever felt and her fingers danced along my arm telling me she had needs. I closed my eyes and took in a useless breath before opening them back up.

"I know you're not Buffy." I said quietly and took hold of her arms and pulled her closer to me. "I want you, always have and what's stopped me from telling you? I don't know."

I slowly brought my lips to hers and all the want and need I'd been holding back came pouring out in that one kiss. My lips claiming hers as possessively as I could as I pulled her to her feet and pulled her so she was sitting on the back of the couch. I let a hand run down her back and grip her thigh pulling her even closer to me.

I hoped I wasn't dreaming.

[neverbeenfree]

What's stopped him telling me? Oh I dunno how about a zillion different things? Hell, I could name them all off and that's why I wasn't completely surprised that the dumbass had never shown me that he wanted to break off a piece of Faith. The soul for one thing, not that I thought it was an issue since obviously I wouldn't be making him that happy ever. Then there was the whole Buffy issue which I wasn't even sure if it was still an issue but it might. I hadn't gotten stabbed to death yet so that was a good sign
