Willow woke to find herself still in Angels embrace..and she was quieted instantly...he was still here and she was safe...
Angel had just sat back on the bed and taken her in arms as she had started to stir...
"A..Angel?" , "yes luv" , "I thought you would have left".
He opted for honesty..."I did sweetheart, I had to go and get some supplys and so I went and got your laptop aswell" "oh....but you came back" "of course I came back little one, I wasnt going to dessert you when you needed me most.."
That seemed to calm her...inadvertantly he had proven he would always come back to her, and he was releaved..he didnt want to have her lose any more trust in anyone else...After all he loved her...
Part12
It had been a week sinse her attack and she seemed to be getting more confident..the following day after he had run in to Oz though he had broached to subject of telling her friends what had happened...she flatly refused..saying that Buffy would find and kill Oz and then she would end up in prison...and who would save the world from the heelmouth then...he had conceded, but said she would have to think up a "Bloody good excuse" as he put it, for her being at his place....she had looked hurt and he had regretted his words straight away
"luv, willow, Im sorry that wasnt what I meant it to sound like..I just meant that as much as we love buff, she is a nosey blonde, which is one of the things that make her a successful slayer..but she will surely have her curiosity peaked if your staying here..."
"I will tell her that I dont want to stay at my house alone..and she is too buissy with slaying...she`ll buy it...why would I lie..well usually I wouldnt but..."
As she trailed off her babbling she looked sheepish...
"its okay..I`ll tell her okay..." "thankyou Angel"
That had been six days ago and she had seemed to be comeing back out of her shell...slowly...she still couldnt face outside life but that would come in time...
He had been able to leave her alone a little more aswell...So he had gone out patrolling one that night with Buffy...and as expected she thought there was more to it than just loneliness, but when Angel had said
"she just doesnt feel safe at home on her own....I suppose its with Faith running around doing evil deeds for that ass of a Mayor", she had dropped it then reasoning that he was probably right..He was still anxiose to get back though..he didnt like to leave her...it was a full moon and he was scared for her safety...Oz could be loose in wolf form..even though no one had seen him in a week..since there little run in..he had squeezed willy..literally..but he hadnt heard of seen anything..So when he eventially got off patrol he hurried home..
