TITLE: Pillow Talk
AUTHOR: Kayla
DISCLAIMER: If only I came up w/ Buffy and Angel first...But I didn't Joss did so now I'm stuck here borrowing them for a few minutes. (w/o permission, shhhh)
TIMELINE: Somewhere in IWRY. After the ice cream but before they sleep.
SUMMERY:What if Buffy was dating Riley during Pangs, but still went to LA to see Angel in IWRY? Everything happens the same except during their sewer talk Buffy mentions that she is dating someone. This is a conversation between Buffy and Angel in bed talking about Buffy's relationship with Riley and their affair.
AN: This started as an idea to compare Buffy's feeling for Riley and Angel to Angel and then Buffy started acting really giddy. I had no control over it!
FEEDBACK: It give me happies :P


"Uhh...Buffy?" Angel whispered, stroking her hair as they were laying on his bed. He never had truly been as happy as he was at that moment. He felt at peace as if everything was where it was supposed to be at that moment.
"Mmmm?" She replied dazed.
He hated to bring it up, but he needed to get things out in the open. They needed to communicate if they were make things work. "Didn't you say you had a boyfriend?"
"I do, you," she responded innocently, "did you forget already?"
"No, I mean before we uhhhh...you know?" He was an old fashioned kind of guy, it still turned his cheeks red to talk about S-E-X. Yeah, he had sex with more girls than he could remember even raped a couple, but lets not go there. He also had been celibate for about 100 years.
"No, I don't know," she replied teasingly. She wanted to make him say it. She wanted to hear it from his lips to make sure it wasn't all a dream. She wanted him to tell her how much 'fun' he had.
"You know." He knew what wanted but wasn't, but he wasn't gonna give her that satisfaction.
"Not a clue as to what your talking about," Buffy laughed.
"Did you forget already?" He played along.
"Yes, I did," she chirped. "Remind me."
"I couldn't possibly," he said all the while placing small butterfly kisses down her neck. Maybe she'll let this one slip....
"I just wanna hear you say it," she said matter of factly.
"What?"
"That we had wild-passionate-mind-blowing-crazy sex." She smirked when she saw his jaw drop. "I forgot how cute you could be."
"Do I have to?" He whined. How was there relationship gonna work if he gave into her every whim and need? He knew he couldn't resist her smile, and she knew she could get anything he wanted from him. It's not that he minded giving everything to her, he wanted to. It was the principle; this small blond had complete control over him.
"Yes," she said sternly.
"Fine. We had wild-passionate-mind-blowing-crazy sex. Happy?"
"Yes. Now was it that hard?"
"Yes!" He said smiling. "Now about that boyfriend you said you had..." He didn't want to bring this guy up, he was perfectly happy laying there with the blond in his arms, but it didn't feel right when she belonged to another.
"I probably only said it to make you jealous." She didn't want to talk about him. She was perfectly happy laying in her soulmates' arms. She would break up the fish boy as soon as she got back to Sunnydale. Why had she told Angel about him?
"Probably?" He mimicked.
"Not, but it doesn't matter. I have you."
"But you have a boyfriend in Sunnydale."
"So now I have two boyfriends. What to do? What to do? hmmmm?" She pondered.
"Buffy...."
"I love you too, honey"
"Be serious Buffy. Do you really want us to have a relationship 'cuz if you do we need to discuss this or is this just some steamy affair your having with me? " He said staring her down, trying to get some sort of un-witty remark out of her.
"Is that what you want this to be?" She shot back.
"No, of course not, unless you want this to be, whatever floats your boat. What floats your boat Buffy?"
"You," she said simply while placing kisses up his chest.
"I? I float your boat?" He responded, amazed. "What about this other guy? Does he float your boat too?"
"Riley?"
"I don't know, I never met the guy," Angel snapped. He was getting angry now. She wasn't giving him more than a few word answers, apparently all she was interested in was doing the wild passionate sex thing, not that he minded to doing the sex thing ... it was just that he wanted to get some answers. He wanted to figure out what he was going to do with this new life and get started as well as find out if Buffy was going to be his leading lady.
She thought for a moment. "Not like you do. Not even close. When I'm with you, my boats 'flyin, high above the waves. With him, its close to sinking. Not quite there though."
"How come your with him then?" He said as she snuggled deeper into his chest.
"Riley, he's nice ... and convenient. He's with me to fill the huge whole in my heart, that you left me with. I didn't want to be alone, Angel. It hurts to much" Buffy voice lowered at the last part "I thought if I had a boyfriend, it would make me feel guilty about thinking about you constantly and eventually I would... I would forget you. And besides, I never slept with him." His face was blank. She tried again."Don't you get it? If loved him would I be laying here naked with you?"
"I guess not... "He said trying to absorb everything she just said. "But what about that guy that Spike said you hopped into bed with upon first meeting?"
"Spike?"
"Not Spike, I know you would *never* sleep with him. But he said..."
"This isn't the time to or the place," She emphasized by pressing her body up against his and flipping him over so that she was on top of him, "to be going over my past errors."
"Buffy, we need to talk." She just gave him the answers he wanted, but he craved more. He didn't love her only for her body, he loved all of her and he wanted to get to re-know all of her.
"Later!"
"If we're gonna make this work, we have to talk."
"For the past three and a half years, give or take a few months here and there, we've been able to 'talk' to each other, now its time to do things we haven't been able to do," A very horny Buffy responded.
She did have a point but, "What about Riley?"
"I'll break up with him the next time I'm in Sunnyhell."
"How long are you planning to stay here?"
"I think I'll leave now." A stern line making its way to her lips. She was frustrated. Why didn't he want to make love to her? Was she that bad the first 4 times today? She quickly got out of bed in search of her clothing. Angel just stared at her, not sure if she was joking.
"If you wanna leave, leave," he responded, dryly.
"Fine! I will!" She yelled.
"Okay," he said saddened.
"Okay!" She really didn't want to leave, but it was obvious he didn't want her to stay. After all, he didn't attempt to get out of bed at all through this fiasco. He wanted to talk about her 'boyfriend'. What was wrong with him? Didn't he understand that he was the only person she capable of loving and wanted to love. She didn't want to talk about Riley, she would take care of him the next time she saw him. Right now she wanted to make love to Angel until he passed out!
She was practically fully dressed when he realized that she was really going to leave. "Baby, please don't go."
"Why should I stay? You obviously don't want me here!"
"What would make you think that?"
"You don't want to make love to me and it seems like your trying to think up an excuse to make me leave."
"I just made love to you 4 times and I'm not thinking of getting rid of you any time soon. I love you, Buffy. I love all of you and not just your body. I want us to work and to work we need to talk. I just remembered you have a boyfriend and I needed to know that you don't regret what we did."
"Oh." She just stood there not knowing what to do next. "Well, I don't regret it."
"Then take off your clothes and come back to bed."
"Do you really mean that?"
"Yes, I'm ready to make love to you now," he joked.
"No, I meant the other thing."
"Of course I did," he replied sincerely.
"I want my life to be with you," she whispered as she climbed into his bed.
"And mine with you," he said, kissing her forehead.
