Chapter 1
Standing outside the bar he was waiting there for his taxi to
arrive. He was drunk but could still see the bench in front of him,
sitting down he closed his eyes. He could feel the alcohol running
through his veins, he came to the bar to forget and it seemed to be
working. Hearing the running of feet, he looked across the street to
see a young blonde running fast, and looking behind her every few
feet. Knowing she was in trouble he struggled to get up. Once
getting to his feet, she was out of site. He looked back down the
street to see if any one was chasing her, but saw no one. Sitting
back down on the bench he watched a car drive very slow some one
looking out at the sidewalk.
Watching the car slow down as the drive saw him sitting
there, he tried to get a good look at the driver. A bleach blonde
man gazed at him; his eyes were so blue they could blend in with the
sky. A cigarette hanging from his jaw he rolled up the window and
drove off. Standing up he watched as his taxi arrived "where to sir"
the diver asked him.
"Follow that car up there would you please." Angel said to
the driver as he threw his seat belt on in the back. The drive took
off following the black car that had sped up. Reaching it, Angel
could see the girl running in to a building once she caught sight of
the car. "Thanks this is far enough, how much do I owe you?" Angel
asked jumping out of the car. "Five bucks dude." The drive told
him. Pulling out cash Angel tossed a five dollar bill in the window
and walked to the edge of the alley way.
He watched as the black car pulled over to the side of the
street. Angel looking up at the building he could see a light turn
on in a small room. He could see the young blonde move to the window
looking out to see if she was safe. Angel watched the girls face
turn white as a ghost as she saw the man leaving his car. Angel
watched as the man entered the building.
Walking up to the front of the building, Angel could see the
man taking the stairs to head up to her, he could only guess.
Knowing nothing about these people, Angel wondered if he should even
be getting involved. Angel decided the girl could fend for herself,
she looked like she was safe in that room. Turning to walk away, he
could hear the crash of a door falling to the ground. "BITCH, HERE
NOW." The man yelled.
Turning Angel ran in the building and up the stairs.
Reaching the third floor he saw the blonde being drug out of her
room. Screaming she caught sight of Angel, she screamed harder. The
man turned to see Angel standing there "So is this the man you been
fucking Buffy, come on now tell me, or I will just have to hurt him
anyways."
"No, Spike, no I never fucked any one but you, you know I am
yours, I don't know him." The girl now known as Buffy said as the
man threw her up against the wall. "Lying fucking whore, don't
fucking lie to me I will make your life a living hell."
"Excuse me, but I think you need to let her go mister. She
does not want you touching her I can tell that much." Angel said to
him as he walked closer. Knowing he was already involved there was
nothing left to do but save this poor girl. "You know what pal, I
don't think she needs you saving her. I think she is just fine with
me here, I think it is you that is scaring her." Spike screamed at
Angel.
"Lets ask the young lady, Spike is it?" Angel moved to them
pushing Spike away from the girl. "Are you ok?" he asked taking her
hand. Nodding her head she whispered, "Thank you but you must leave
now, he will kill you, and you have pissed him off now, he will do
it." She said as she ran down the hall and pounded on a door. The
door opened, Angel saw an older man open the door, and let Buffy in.
Looking at the ground where Spike was, Angel saw a blank spot
on the ground. Turning around Angel saw a punch come flying in his
face. Spike was behind him. "Hey dude you scared away the little
slut, I mean she's mine and I don't like the idea of you fucking her,
so your just going to have to die now." Spike said pulling out a
knife. Angel backed away, a bit scared he watched Spike charge at
him, grabbing his hand Angel got the knife away. "Get out you son of
a bitch she does not want you here. And if I every see you around I
will gut you myself." Angel screamed at the man who just kept going
in to the wall.
Spike got up and turned flicked Angel off and walked down the
stairs like nothing happened. "Tell her I will be back and she will
be punished this time even worse." Spike yelled over his shoulder as
he walked out the door.
Standing there in the hall alone, Angel looked in the Buffy's
apartment the door had been busted in and a few things thrown
around. Walking down the hall Angel knocked on the same door Buffy
had just went in. An old man came to the door with a gun. "Spike?
Go away, she wants nothing to do with you and if you walk in this
room I will kill you myself!"
"I am not Spike, my name's Angel and Spike is gone." Angel
said in his low voice.
A small little blonde came out from hiding behind the man,
shaking a bit she smiled. "He's gone?" She asked. "Yes miss, he's
gone, says he will be back though. I mean I know it's not my place
but do you have some where besides here to stay?"
She looked up at the man, and shook her head. "Well I can
take you some where like a hotel for tonight until we can get your
door fixed." Angel said in his soft voice. He looked at her, seeing
her eyes he could not move. She had the most beautiful green eyes,
he had every seen.
"Thanks Giles, but I can't stay here tonight, Spike knows
this is where I came." She walked out. Angel could see that her
clothing was torn as she moved closer to him.
"Angel is it? Are you a real angel or what?" She asked
laughing.
"Well I don't know, I think we should get you changed and get
going to the hotel downtown." Angel said as he moved to her
apartment to pick up the door allowing her a way in.
Walking up behind him watching him set the door in the hall
she smiled, as his eyes made contact with hers. His dark brown eyes
danced in her head. "Stop it Buffy stop it Spike will kill you if
you every lay a hand on anther man." Buffy thought.
Chapter 2
Watching the small girl move through the apartment, Angel
felt so bad for her. Looking around he started to pick up the pieces
to her broken lamp that lay in the doorway. Taking the pieces to the
table he thought he could fix it, if he had the time.
Buffy smiled the whole way to her room. For once she felt
safe in her own place, this was a new feeling. Finding a pair of
jeans that were not ripped or destroyed by Spike seemed to be a
problem. Once she found a pair she slid the jogging pants and pulled
on the jeans. Buffy found a nice blue tank top to put on. Throwing
a few clothes and things in to a bag, and walked back in to her
living room.
"Got all the stuffy you need miss?" Angel questioned her,
turning to see her he was amazed in all her beauty.
"Yes, please call me Buffy, I am no miss." Buffy said
laughing at him.
"Ok, Buffy ready to go?" Angel asked blushing a bit.
Nodding the two walked out of the apartment side by side.
Once out the door Angel put her door in front of her doorway, trying
to protect her stuff as much as possible. Walking down the stairs and
outside in to the cold night.
"Where's your car Angel?" Buffy asked looking around. She
caught him looking at her, she for some reason felt safe with him
anywhere it seemed.
"Um well, its down at the bar on Michigan Ave. I took a taxi
to follow Spike here." He said feeling embarrassed for being drunk
when he first started this save the girl project.
"Can we walk there?" she asked.
"Yeah its only a mile, lets get going, its cold out here."
Angel said as his feet started to walk. Buffy had to start running
to catch up to him. She slipped her arm around his, feeling safer.
Looking down at her in surprise his whole body melted with warmth.
Her touch made the nights coldness disappear it seemed. He wanted to
cry for Buffy. He had yet to know all about Spike, but he could feel
the pain he caused her.
Reaching "The Snowcap" bar Angel put Buffy on the tailgate of
his truck telling her to stay. Walking in to the car to get his keys
from Paul, Angel saw a bleach blonde man yelling at a poor girl in
the back of the bar.
"Shit" Angel whisper under his breath as Spike turned around
to see him turn.
"Well, well, well, Mr. Save the World comes to drink here."
Spike said moving to Angel.
"Spike, I don't want trouble, just to get my keys and go. So
back away now I am warning you." Turning for the door Angel walked
out, not seeing Spike slip out behind him. Reaching the truck he
unlocked it and went around to the back where Buffy still sat.
"Lets go, we have to move now." Angel yelled taking her
hand. She quick moved to the door. Pulling on the handle she felt a
hand pull her arm back.
"BITCH, you lying, unclean fucking bitch, sleep9ing with Mr.
Perfect." Spike said as his hand moved across her face. "You knew
better then to leave my house, then you run away from me, then you
fucking have Mr. Angel face here save your ass. God you are my
fucking whore and you know it. God I mean you even carry my brand."
Angel quickly, seeing Spike, moved to help Buffy. Spike saw
him and pulled out a gun. "Back away Mr." Spike screamed. Buffy
shrieked as she struggles to open the door. "NO" She screamed again
and again. "Spike stop I will come with you, just let him go."
Begging Spike she put her hands on his face.
"I don't want a used whore, so I think both of you should
die."
"I never slept with him Spike; He is just some stranger in
the night, trying to put his nose where it was not wanted." She put
her lips to Spikes cheeks. "Please forgive me." She cried.
Turning to her Spike put the gun down at his side, he wrapped
Buffy in his embrace. Crushing his lips to hers. Hugging him Buffy
motioned for Angel to help her. Angel moved to the back of his truck
bed. Coming up with a baseball bat, he moved closer to Spike.
Hearing Angel moved, Spike turned to meet him. The bat swung
at his chest, Spike pulled the trigger. Falling to the ground, Spike
did not really move. Angel grabbed Buffy, pulling the door open he
threw her in. Running around he got in on his side, and speed off.
The radio started to blare Nickelback's song "Never Again"
//He's drunk again, it's time to fight
She must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring
It's time to run when you see him
Clenching his hands
She's just a woman
Never Again
I hear her scream, from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me, Go back to bed
I'm terrified that she'll wind up
Dead in his hands, She's just a woman
Never Again
Been there before, but not like this
Seen it before, but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again
Just tell the nurse, you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you, she wants the truth
It's right out there in the waiting room
With those hands
Lookin just as sweet as he can
Never Again
Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again
Father's a name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard "Don't hit a lady"?
Kickin' your ass would be a pleasure
He's drunk again, it's time to fight
Same old shit, just on a different night
She grabs the gun, she's had enough
Tonight she'll find out how fucking
Tough is this man
Pulls the trigger as fast as she can
Never Again
Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again//
Chapter 3
Laying there on the ground Spike let out a cry in
pain. "FUCKER." He screamed as his leg would not move. Struggling
to stand up Spike could feel the blood dripping down his leg.
Tossing the gun in a near by trash can he went to the near by shop
doc.
Opening the door to the near by pool bar, Spike hobbled to
the back. Opening another door there was large cages covering the
walls. A man in a nice black suit stepped out to greet Spike.
"Master Spike, how can I help you this evening."
"Ah Master Riley, well I real need to see the Doc of yours if
you don't mind and would be so kind."
"Of course Master's must stick together, follow me."
Leading Spike to the next room, it was large and the lights
showed chains and other types of restraints all over the walls. A
young girl no more then 16 was being lead in to another room.
"Getting them younger and younger Master Riley?" Spike
laughed.
"Well it's easier to train them when they are young and know
no different."
Reaching a table in the back, spike hopped up. The doctor
arrived, after removing the bullet, he bandaged him up.
"Master spike you have two cracked runs as well, you might
want to rest for a few days before having any full contact with any
one, Sir." The doctor told him as he bowed and left the room where
the Master's stood.
"Yeah, Yeah, thanks." Spike shouted to him. "Master Riley
if I may I would like a few words with you. I have this little
problem."
"Ah yes, follow me."
Spike had yet to see Riley's entire compound but could tell
that behind this little hole in the wall bar there was a huge area
Riley owned. Reaching what seemed to be his office, two young girls
followed them in. Dropping to their knees in front of the men, the
asked if any thing would be needed from them. Dismissing the girls
Riley offered Spike a cigarette and leaned back in his chair.
"Her name is Buffy. She's about 18 years and trouble. She
was coming along good with her training, going to be used for my
personal slave, until I gave her some freedom. I allowed her, to
live on her own, because my compound is not the safest place for my
own personal slut's. But she was to return to me when every I
called, and to have no fighting with me on anything. Too much
freedom came to her head and she decided to run tonight. And now
she's with a man who is helping her. If he finds out what happened
with her he will try and go to the police I believe."
"Do you know his name Master Spike?"
"I do not but I know his truck and I know where he drinks."
Riley laughed, and the two man shared a drink as they decided
how to take care of this free bird Buffy and her little care taker
Drunk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Driving Angel hit the highways, driving the highways always
helped him relax. Yet tonight with Buffy next to him, Angel was
still strung out, not knowing what he should do. Looking over at
Buffy who had begun to cry, he felt so bad for her. He needed to
know what her story was before to long, but would wait as long as he
had to.
"He will be looking for me." She whispered as the tears
still rolled down her face.
"Even at the hotels?" Angel questioned her, she nodded. As
she started to cry harder Angel knew where he could take her. But
would she go.
"Do you trust me Buffy?"
"What?"
"Do you trust me?"
"Yes." She whispered. Knowing right where to go, Angel
started to speed up. Getting off the highway, they were in the
country. Corn fields, barns, and even forest pasted out side Buffy's
window as she cried.
Pulling in to the drive out in front of an old farm house,
Angel got out. "Wait here." He told her. Going in side Angel threw
his keeps on the table. Wondering future in the house he found his
sister asleep on the couch, TV still on.
Picking Willow up he carried her to her room. Looking in to
his own room he quickly cleaned up the mess he had made earlier that
night. *Leaving pissed off sure does leave a mess* He thought to
himself. Going back out side he grabbed Buffy's stuff and took her
hand. Leading her to the front house he opened the door.
"Shh, my sister is asleep so be quite." He led her to his
room, and closed the door.
"Showers in that door there and bed is very soft. If you
need anything I will be in the living room, right out there. Sorry
about the mess. Good Night Buffy your safe here, I promise you that."
Walking out of the door Angel leaned back against the wall.
He could still here Buffy's soft cries. What was he going to do, how
could he help this poor girl. Walking to the couch, he could here
the breathing coming from the room across the hall. He hoped and
prayed that Dad did not wake up.
Chapter 4
The night had just gotten longer and longer then any night
Angel had every lived. He could hear every one in the house
sleeping, breathing deep, but yet he could not force himself to
sleep. Laying down in bed, he could feel the pain of the yesterday,
it still laid in his chest like some one keep pushing on his heart.
She had broke his heart for the second time. And with Buffy now all
he could think about is the pain in the world. Hearing a soft sob
come from his room, he knew Buffy had woken up again.
Walking in to his room, Angel found a surprise. Buffy had a
hold of his old teddy bear and was just sobbing away. Walking in he
sat on the edge of the bed, smiling his hand reached out and touched
Buffy's leg. "You want to talk now Buffy?" He asked her as he
propped himself up on his elbow. She nodded, as she wiped her tears
on her sleeve she sat up.
"It all started about a year ago. I met Spike in a bar
downtown one night while I was working. He was charming and very
sweet; then again all men seem that way at first glance. Well he
waited around until I finished my shift then asked me if I wanted to
go for coffee. Well things went fast from there. We started going
out all the time, then about 2 months in he asked me to come over, he
wanted to show me something at his place. When I got there I was a
bit shocked, it was not a house but like a mansion, filled with rooms
that were locked. He told me as I entered his room that I would
never be leaving this place. Well I never really did I was stuck
there for about 4 months being "Trained" as he put it; trained in the
arts of sex, household things, history, and hosting. He thought he
could break me, I keep telling myself he never would. But he did,
finally just gave in and did everything he told me to.
Two months ago he trusted me, said he wanted to keep me safe,
so he got me my apartment. He would call upon me when I was needed at
his place. He said that because I was broken that no man would touch
me ever. He was right. I got a job at the local library, and met
Giles. He helped me understand that Spike was not in control of me.
You met him, the man who tried to shoot you. Well Spike called me
back two nights ago, I went not wanting to have the crap beat out of
me. Once there Spike really did not want anything to do with me. I
was there to be a show off toy for his guest. Well tonight, I mean
last night I decided that I had taken to much crap for him and left.
Getting a head start he went after me. That's where you came in."
Buffy sighted and laid back in the bed. Staring at her Angel could
not say a word, or move a muscle.
"Buffy" Angel whispered. "Hmm what Angel?" Angel crawled
forward in the bed, and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her
close to him. She let out her tears on his shoulder as he kept his
tight grip on her. "Buffy I don't know what to say, all I can tell
you is your safe now. No one, no one with every hurt you again. I
will make sure of it as long as I live." Angel whispered in her
ear.
Hearing foot steps coming out of his father's room. Angel
let go of Buffy and stood up. "What the fuck is going on in there
Angel, I am trying to sleep." His father yelled as he threw open the
door. His father seeing Buffy crying grabbed Angel by his
arm. "What the fuck did you do to that poor girl? You good for
nothing son, I should report you to the police."
"Dad, don't its not what you think. That's Buffy she's in
trouble I am trying to help her. Let me go, Dad your hurting me.
Fuck get your hands off me now." His father let go. Looking down at
Buffy who now was in full blown tears, he asked "What's wrong with
her?"
"Long story dad, just make sure no one comes looking around
for me or her. I have to get her out of town tonight." Nodding his
head Angel's father could not help but look at Buffy. "Oh by the
way, you might want to clean out that wound of hers soon it looks
like its getting bad. And be quite, your sisters still asleep."
Smiling at his dad Angel followed him out of the room shutting the
door, he turned back to Buffy. Moving to the bed he picked her up
and carried her to the bathroom. Sitting her on the toilet seat he
found a wash cloth and got it wet.
"Buffy, I need you to remove your shirt. The wound is pretty
bad, and I want to make sure you don't have any more." Nodding Buffy
did what he asked her to. Pulling the shirt over her head, Buffy's
white bra showed. Angel blushed, bending down he began to clean the
wound on her arm and shoulder. Looking over her back he found
nothing wrong with her there. Wiping her chest off, Angel could not
help but look at her breast. Seeing the mark on her right breast
Angel fell back.
A tear feel down Buffy's cheeks, as her finger ran over the
burn. "His mark." She said. Knowing he had to protect her, he
looked closer at the mark that lay almost between her breasts. The
symbol was that of an S and an W next to each other. Underneath it
there looked like drops of blood. It was a branding, like they did
to the cows on his uncles farm. Angel knew this brand from when he
was younger. But how, he could not believe it. Thinking back Angel
could believe it the two looked a lot alike. It was the crazy woman
down the roads, son. It had to be Darla was her name. She was nuts,
always yelling at his family and letting her cows lose in his fathers
field.
"Fuck" Angel whispered as his hand tracked the mark. "We
have to leave sooner then I thought Buffy."
"Why?" she questioned him. Opening her eyes she smiled
seeing his face in front of her.
"Your not as safe here as I thought. We have to leave soon.
Is there any where you can go at all? Any where another state
another country, anywhere Buffy?" Angel questioned her. He quickly
moved gathering a few things from the bath room and taking them back
to his room. Buffy quickly stood following him to his room, she
pulled her shirt back on.
"What if we went some where together I mean, some where we
can stay until I get settled then you can come back?" she asked
him. Angel still tossing things on the bed, he was looking for his
check book when it hit him like a ton of bricks.
"Buffy, where was Spikes place?" Angel asked her.
"Um, on the campus." Nodding his head Angel knew Spike would
be able to find her is she stayed anywhere in the US. Knowing Spike,
he would stop at nothing to find her, because his mother would stop
at nothing to find Spike's father when he left.
"Every been to Europe, Buffy?" She shook her head. He
smiled throwing a few more things he grabbed the bag out of the
closet. "Here put these things in the bag. I have to do a few
things on the computer then we are on are way out."
Leaving the room, Angel stopped. Why was he doing this?
What was he doing this for, he did not know Buffy? He only knew that
this girl stood no chance against that family and that she need him,
she need Angel. He sat down found some cheap tickets online and they
were ready to go.
Poking his head in to his sister's room, she was sound
asleep. Willow was going to miss him, but he would come back for her
some day soon. Knocking on his Dad's door he walked in. "Dad, were
leaving now, I can't say were but I will call when things are
better." Leaving he quietly shut the door. Throwing the bags in the
back of his truck he took off. Heading for Chicago Angel knew Spike
would check out Detroit's airport, he was not stupid.
Once they were all checked in at the airport, they went to
wait by the plane. Once Buffy sat down she started to fall asleep.
Leaning her head on Angel's shoulder she slowly drifted off to
sleep. "safe, I am safe." Is the last words Buffy said before her
eyes went closed.
Chapter 6
Buffy looked at him in amazement. God, she still felt safe, if not
safer now that his lips had touched hers. Turning to Angel Buffy put
her hand on his cheek.
"What's wrong Angel?" She asked
"I had no right to touch you with out asking first." Angels
eyes were looking in to hers, not wanting to take his eyes off her.
Laughing Buffy kissed his lips. Pulling his face closer to
hers.
"You had my permission when I feel asleep in front of you."
Buffy let him wrap his arms around her, never wanting to let her go.
She smelled so good, tasted sweet, and looked so god damn Goddess
like. Pushing Buffy away from him, he leaned back in his seat. They
had arrived and were going down. Once landed, Buffy and Angel got
off the plane looking around carefully they looking for Spike.
Walking to the baggage area they got the bag.
Angel told her that he had to go the bathroom. Putting Buffy
in a chair he told her not to move. Walking in to bathroom, he could
hear some one singing, it sound like the man was drunk. Walking out
of the stall the man stumbled to the sink.
Angel was looking right at Spike. He turned and ran out of
the bathroom. Grabbing Buffy he ran down the walk way to the nearest
ticket desk. "I need at ticket to Ireland ASAP." Angel told the
young girl at the desk.
"Well, sir, we have a flight that leaves in 20 minutes. But
all that's left is first class tickets they are�"
"We will take two please."
Throwing his credit card on the counter he shoved the bag in
the slot. Minutes later they were making their way for the terminal,
once seated on the plane Buffy had just about enough of secret Angel.
"Angel what's going on?"
"Spike is here and we have to leave, and we had to moved."
"oh ok, but�"
"Shhh please trust me."
"Of course Angel but why Ireland?"
"My home country, many I have always wanted to go there."
Buffy snuggled back on Angels shoulder and went back to
sleep. Angel was to worried to sleep. Pressing the flight attendant
button a young blonde lady appeared.
"Can I help you sir?"
"Yeas, could I get a beer please?" Angel asked as he turned
to the young lady. His jaw dropped and his blood started to boil.
He moved turning to face her, Buffy fell right off his shoulder and
on to the seat.
"Catherine, what the hell?" Smiling at him Catherine turned
on one foot and walked to the back of the plane and sat down.
Chapter 7
Looking at Buffy, Angel sighted. He knew that this could not
be good. He grabbed Buffy's hand and squeezed it tight. She let him
squeeze, she knew he was not feeling to good right now.
Putting her hand on his cheek Buffy reached up and kissed his
fore head. "Angel, you will be fine, nothing can be as bad as it
seems, look at me."
"Hun, what? Oh Buffy, why? Why here? Why now? God." Angel
looked over at her, seeing her eyes he wanted to melt in them. Once
the plane was level, the fly attendant came back. Handed him his
beer and walked back to her seat not saying a word.
"You want to talk to her don't you?" Buffy asked. She had
wrapped her arms around his. Feeling his tension as Catherine walked
by again.
"Yes but what do I say?"
"Tell her what if feels like in your heart, ask her the
questions you want to know the answers to."
Nodding Angel stood up and walked to where Catherine was
seated. She stood up as he came in front of her.
"We need to talk Catherine NOW."
Catherine moved to him putting her hands on his face, and
kissed him. Angel backed away.
"NO, No, No, get off. Catherine you left me, you did not
even leave a word. And guess what I am now over you. ON that note
good bye slut I don't want to see you again." Turning around Angel
walked back to his seat. Picked up Buffy's hand and sat down.
Turning to her he placed his lips right on hers.
"Can I ask you something Buffy?"
"Yeah sure." Buffy said laying her hand on his shoulder.
"Can well we try something together, I mean I feel this thing
between us and I don't know what to say or how to react to it. Buffy
I really thing you are the most wonderful girl, and need the best
love any one can give you."
Buffy nod her head but her kiss was what told Angel that she
felt the same. She could not believe that this strong man wanted
some one as weak as her. She knew that he would be good for her, but
more then that she knew that she felt something when she was near him.
This plane ride Angel did nothing but sleep, Keeping Buffy's
hand in his. Once they landed they took their time to find a rental
car. Once they hit the country road, Buffy was wide awake. Having
no clue where to go Angel followed the high way to find a small
hotel. Pulling in he rented a room, showing Buffy in Angel when to
make a phone call home. Dad would know what to do and where to go.
"Hello, Dad?"
"Hello, Angel your ok, Where are you son?"
"I am in Ireland, got and advice on what we should do from
here?"
"Well you can try your cousin Doyle, he lives in Dublin. He
could maybe help you out."
"Will do thanks you dad, I will keep in touch."
Going through the phone book Angel found Doyle's name and
address. Calling him he told him what was going on with Buffy and
him.
"Yeah well come stay here. It to this big place and my
roommate should be gone for a few days. See you two tomorrow."
Wondering back to the room, Angel picked up some food.
Sliding his key in the door Angel got a big surprise when the door
opened.
Chapter 8
Buffy had stripped her clothes and was heading to the
shower. She was use to being naked so it was nothing new to her when
the door opened. Turning to see Angel's face bright red, Buffy's
cheeks turned bright red as well. She ran for the bathroom and got
in the shower.
Angel's grin was from ear to ear. Walking in he sat down on
the bed. He could smell the wonderful sent of her shampoo coming
from the bathroom. Laying his head on the pillow and fell asleep.
He started to toss and turn but was fast asleep in minutes.
Buffy got out wrapped a towel around herself, and walked in
to the other room. Angel's soft noises as he slept told her that he
was in need of sleep. She quickly pulled on a small dress.
Walking over Buffy dropped to her knees in front of Angel,
pulling his boots off she started to unbutton his jeans. Tugging at
them, they slipped off and on to the floor. Pulling the covers out
from underneath him, she covered him up. Walking outside, Buffy
breathed in the fresh air.
Sitting down in a chair, Buffy looked around at the beautiful
land that made up Ireland. She slowly got back up and walked
inside. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she turned on the TV and
started watching some infomercial. She closed her eyes as she
wiggled up to the pillow. Falling asleep to the soft sounds of Angel
breathing. The two slept for about four hours. The vibrations
coming from Angel's pants pocket turned to ringing finally after the
phone gave up trying to contact him.
Opening his eyes, Angel saw Buffy's soft hair in his face.
His arms were wrapped around her waist tightly. Quickly moving he
sat up , reached for his pants and grabbed the phone. "Spike." He
growled.
"What the fuck now Spike?" Angel shouted in to the phone as
he climbed out of the bed.
"Well, let see, first off doesn't she look good in that
little dress, I bought it for her. Your arms wrapped around her
waist, trying to protect the slut. Ha-ha, think you can trick me
Angel think again."
Angel whipped his head around to the window, looking for
where spike could see from.
"So you want to come out and settle this like men Angel?"
Angel quickly shook Buffy trying to wake her. She just
rolled over on her side. *Shit, Buffy I am so sorry I have done this
to you.* Angel thought.
Throwing the phone down on the bed, Angel pulled his pants
and boots on. Opening the door, he waited a second then came out,
ready for a fight. Stepping out, Angel ducked as the bat came at his
head. Moving he slammed the door shut. Spike just keep swinging.
"Steal my slave, you think you can get away with that? HUH
HUH yeah what?"
"Spike I don't want to do this, not here, not now, not never."
Spike swan again, Angel grabbed the bat and ripped it away
from Spike. Breaking the bat right in his ands, Spikes eyes grew
wide as he kicked Angel's chest. Angel grabbed Spikes arm throwing
him to the ground.
"Now leave, and don't come back."
"Ha-ha, no never going to leave that bitch with you."
Spike jumped up and pushed Angel's back against the wall.
Angel's eyes turned red, he threw a punch right at Spikes nose. It
broke under the pressure, Spike looked at him and stumbled backwards.
"Leave Spike and never come back ever."
Shaking his head Spike started walking back to a little red
car. Pulling away, Angel sat down on the porch. Buffy's eye let the
tear fall as she watched out the window. Opening the door slowly she
walked out quietly. Wrapping her arms around Angel's neck. Kissing
his cheek, she gentle ran her fingers up and down his arms. She
kissed his ear softly as her whispers shook Angel from his trance.
"Angel, thank you so much. I love you, I have loved you from
the first time I saw you."
Turning to face Buffy, Angel's eyes turn soft, Angel smiled
at her. "Buffy�"
