The aroma in the room was intoxicating spices filled the room. He smiled as he entered the kitchen seeing Cordelia hunched down cooking up a storm. Buffy turned off the car and opened the trunk grabbing a bag full of clothes she walked up to the door. “Cordy! What’s going on, why did you call me?” Angel asked some anger in his tone. “Uh! Angel hi.” She said placing the freshly baked cookies on the counter and hugging him tightly Buffy peered through the foggy window noticing the hug Angel was giving Cordelia she grew jealous. Wes entered the kitchen a book in his hand.” Ah Angel! How was your trip, sorry about the call Cordelia accidentally dialled you.” He said glaring at his friend. She pouted brushing a strand of hair away from her face he laughed walking to the fridge. Buffy frowned she had never seen Angel so happy not ever! She opened the door slipping inside. “So How’s Buffy anyway” Cordelia asked an annoyed look on her face. Angel glared at her and grabbed his blood slurping it down quickly. “Good has a problem with a god! Uh, Wes you think you do some research for her. This god her name is Glory, she’s very powerful steals peoples power and turns them to vegetables she has Tara, Willow’s girlfriend.,” he said sitting on the couch and placing his feet on the coffee table. “Willow’s girlfriend?” they both asked shocked, Angel smiled and rubbed his head softly. “Yes girlfriend. Oh, Giles would like you to call him Wes. Something about a book he’s looking into.” Wes nodded and placed the book down. Angel drank the rest of his blood and walked to the phone looking for messages. “Have you found anything about Darla yet?” Angel asked looking towards the ex watcher. “Uh no, but Kate came to see you she seemed very angry said she found something and that you are now a suspect.” Wes said looking towards Cordelia. “Would you know what she’s talking about.” Angel froze he could feel her but why? She was not here he had just left her two hours ago. Buffy stared intensely at the group and moved in closer to hear better, she lost her balance falling into a plant. Angel and the gang looked up to see the fallen slayer in front of them. She blushed and stood up quickly. “Buffy?” Angel said and Cordelia and Wes stared at her. “Angel Hi” she said shyly looking around the room. “Nice place.” she said walking towards Wes. Hi good to see you Wes. You look good.” She said engulfing him in a hug. He smiled hugging her back. “Buffy. Good to see you too.” She turned towards Cordelia who had a look of disgust on her face. “Cordy Hi. Never thought I would see that on you.” Buffy said pointing to the apron.” Cordelia snorted walking back into the kitchen.” Buffy! What are you doing here? Angel asked grabbing her hand and pulling into a kiss. He grovelled her she tasted like peppermint and bubble gum. “Angel! Hi, I was worried and Giles needed a book from Wes and well I thought I would check out your place and…” she mumbled “You’re worried about Darla.” He asked and she shook her head He smiled at her and pulled her into the kitchen kissing her fiercely. The kissed became more passionate and they grabbed at each other frantically finally he pulled away staring at her. “I missed you Angelus.” Darla said smiling widely at him.Angel pulled away frantically and stared at her. “What’s wrong baby it looks like you’ve seen a ghost.” Darla said grabbing at his shirt and pulling him to her, her eyes grew bigger and a panic look came in her eyes. “Angel, Angel what’s wrong.” Buffy asked as she watched the blank look in his eyes. Both Wes and Cordelia came beside her. “He’s been doing it a lot; I really think he’s going crazy.” Cordelia said waving her hand in front of his face. Buffy stared at him with a concerned look in her eyes looking towards Wes she grabbed his arm. “ I think we should look into this more maybe he is seeing her, maybe she was brought back from W/H and I’m going to find out. Will you watch him?” She asked “Yes but are you sure Buffy maybe we should go with you.” Wes said and Cordelia grunted. Buffy glared at Cordelia and grabbed her coat that was on the couch. “I’m okay can you put him to bed I’ll be back, If I’m not back soon, come get me.” She said walking toward the door. “Buffy?” Wes yelled and she turned. “Take this we will call you in two hours.” He threw her the phone and she caught it, leaving the building. “It hurts Angelus why does it hurt.” Darla asked Angel stared at her and looked around they were not at his hotel anymore they were in a garden. There were beds of roses and pansies everywhere. “Where are we?” He asked. Buffy walked down the street noticing the W/H building she smiled and ran heading towards it. Darla noticed Buffy and slipped into the alley. This was going to be better than she thought all she needed to do now is tell Lindsay about her and getting Angel to loose his soul would be easer than she thought.
