Beginnings
Buffy had Already to Robin to Drive to Los Angeles. They were almost there and Willow was about to call Angel. �What do you want me to tell him?� Willow questioned as she dialed. �That I-uh we are headed there,� Her friend replied meekly. �What if he asks about you?� Willow asked. �Don�t answer him.� Buffy answered fiddling with her hands. �Why?� Willow asked. �I don�t want him to know everything besides, if he asks I don�t want to upset him.� Buffy replied as Willow put the phone to her ear. �And if he wants talk to you?� Willow questioned, �Make something up,� Buffy replied. �Hello� Willow said into the receiving end.
�Oh, hey Willow,� Harmony chirped. �Hey�.Harmony, where is Angel?� Willow�s voice sounded. �In his office did you need to talk to him?� She asked sweetly �Yes,� Willow had answered. �Okay, hold on a second,� Harmony said putting Willow on hold. Harmony then paged Angel.� �You have a call Angel� Harmony said over his office phone intercom. �Who is it Harmony?� He asked. �Willow,� She replied.� Put her through� Angel answered. �Okay, sure thing boss� Harmony answered and there was a two clicks then there was a different noise. �Hello,� Angel said picking up the receiver. �Hey, um Angel� Willow said feeling like the nervous teenager again. �How are you guys?� Angel asked then sat down in he office chair. �Okay, so um how are you?� Willow replied, �Okay, I guess it the same old same old you know what I mean.� Angel replied Willow smirked a little then replied �Yeah I do.� � So where are you calling from?� Angel asked �My cell� Willow replied. �No, I mean location,� Angel restated �oh we�re just outside of L.A.� Willow replied. �Is Buffy with you?� Angel asked. �Yeah� Willow replied. �Can I talk to her?� Angel asked all but excitedly � Sorry Angel, she is asleep or I�d let you talk to her, but you know how she gets when she gets woke up.� Willow answered sound a bit sheepish. �Okay, so are you guys coming here?� Angel questioned. �Yeah, we�ll be there in a few. Talk to you later� Willow said and hung up and then all Angel heard was a dial tone and he hung up the phone. Willow�s Car�I�m asleep?� Buffy asked frustrated. �It was the best I could do on short notice.� Willow explained. �Okay, fine, whatever did he buy it?� Buffy questioned. �Yeah, he bought it, I think.� Willow said. �Okay, well thank you then� Buffy started. �You�re welcome� Willow answered sweetly. They were only thirty minutes away from Wolfram&Heart. �Are you gonna be okay in that place by yourself?� Willow asked. �Yeah, but I�m still not sure about everything.� Buffy replied. �So get sure, don�t be shaken by the your ex-boyfriend is CEO of Hell incorporated.� Willow said. �Besides, he�s still Angel.� Buffy replied. �I�ll go with you, just because I have to do the spell at the right time, okay?� Willow replied as the car stopped in front of Wolfram&Heart Buffy got out, followed by Willow. Wolfram&HeartThe two headed into the building. They went to the elevator and pressed Angel�s Office floor number. The Elevator closed with a ding, and it began to move. �Lets go� Buffy said, as it stopped on the floor they were going to. Buffy left the elevator first and Willow quietly followed her best friend. �There�s Harmony Hang on a second.� Buffy said. �Hey Buffy!� Harmony chirped as the two walked up to the front desk. �Where�s Angel?� Willow questioned �in his Office, over there,� Harmony said with a pointing finger and a cheerful Smile. �She�s almost too cheerful to be a vampire.� Buffy said sarcastically as they walked off. When they reached Angel�s door Buffy paused. �What�s wrong Buffy?� Willow questioned. Buffy Shook her head �Nothing� she replied and they went in. Angel was sitting in his desk doing some paper work. He looked up to see them standing there. �Buffy�..� Was all he could manage for the moment. �Hey Angel� Willow started breaking the silence. Angel�s attention turned to willow �Hey Willow� He said answering her, but still his gaze went back to Buffy. �Do you, uh wanna sit down?� Angel asked somewhat nervously. �This is kinda awkward�� Willow said to her self aloud. Yeah, I think I noticed that part� Angel replied. Willow looked up at him. �Okay then we�ll just tell you, right Willow � Buffy said. �Okay, � Angel said with a sigh. Well here goes nothing. Buffy said to herself. �Well I wanted to know if you still �you know �want me or not.� Buffy asked meekly not looking at Angel that much. �Why wouldn�t I? � Angel asked moving a little closer to her. �Well that�s what I wanted to know, now all you have to do is prove it to me�.� Buffy continued. �How, you know we can�t, Buffy what do you mean?� Angel questioned nervously. I knew Buffy coming here and just becoming my girlfriend again was too good to be true, or at least here would have been a catch to it�Angel thought to himself. �Okay how do I do that?� he asked a little more calm. �Willow has a spell, that will get rid of Angelus, so that you are just you instead of being all vampy on me later on, and then you will have two weeks to prove that you still love me and want me.� Buffy said ending her part in the conversation or so she thought. �And if I can�t?� Angel questioned. �Then I go back to Rome, and you promise to never �Check up on� me again,� Buffy answered. �How�s that fair?� he asked. �Because I want to know.� Buffy answered. �Do you agree to this?� Buffy asked hoping for a yes but there were no grantees. �Okay fine,� Angel answered. �Thank you!� Buffy replied, �I have a question though, well two actually.� Angel stated. �What?� Buffy asked sweetly. �Okay one what if I had said no or hadn�t agreed, and two is this spell permanent?� Angel asked. �Yes, it is.� Willow answered �I�d just said okay left and waited in the car for willow because she was going to do the spell any way so� so you wouldn�t have to suffer any more.� Buffy said smiling knowing that he really did still want and loved her. Buffy gave Willow a nod as a sing to go ahead with the spell. �Will it hurt?� Angel asked quickly. �No it won�t, it�s not like extracting a soul.� Willow answered, and began her spell. Her spell was simple but effective. Angelus was placed in a glass orb and banished from their dimension. Angel smiled a little. �Did it work?� He questioned. �I don�t know, I think so, try to go all vampy.� Willow suggested. Angel tried but it didn�t work �I guess that means you�re human now� Buffy said smiling, walking over to him, she gave him a hug and a light kiss on the cheek �Well I guess you�ll want to know where you�ll be staying?� Angel asked. �Yeah,� Buffy replied. Willow smiled and watched her friends for a moment, and stopped to think about how her spell worked even thought it probably shouldn�t have. Angel smiled at Buffy and grabbed her hand gently and then pulled her out of the room. Willow followed. �Hey boss, where are you going?� Harmony chirped. �Downstairs.� Angel asked as he kept his clam but slow pace to the elevator. �Okay, then I�ll hold you calls� Harmony said as they entered the elevator, and the doors closed. The elevator ride was pretty much silence and stares until it stopped and the doors opened. Angel�s ApartmentAngel stepped out still holding Buffy�s hand. They walked down a short hall and into the living room. Buffy smiled a bit, it reminded her of his place in Sunnydale except smaller �Cool,� Willow said as she walked in, it just slipped out. Angel smiled at Willow. �Now what?� Buffy questioned sweetly. �You get you stuff, get settled, and I�ll see you tonight, or at least later on today�I promise.� Angel replied then leaned in and kissed her deeply. It had taken Buffy by surprise at first, and then she kissed him back with that same passion. Then he gently pulled away from her, and kissed her forehead lightly and then went back down the hall. She watched the closing of elevator doors he was gone and She turned to her friend. Buffy covered her mouth for a second still in shock, shocked by her own desire to kiss him. After a moment she pulled away her hand and smiled at Willow. Willow smiled back at her. �I guess, I need to get my stuff out of your car then huh?� Buffy asked. �Yeah, come on I�ll go with you. �Willow answered and pushed her friend toward the elevator door. Just as they got to the elevator doors they opened. �Hey our lucky day!� Willow said brightly. Yep it sure is�. Buffy thought to herself smiling. Elevator�Wow you really missed him,� Willow said. �I guess I didn�t realize how much I did miss him� Buffy replied �If I hadn�t been there he probably wouldn�t have left� Willow said �Probably not but you know he has stuff he has to do too so�� Buffy answered. And the there was a ding and the girls got off Angel�s office �Hey Angel you�re back.� Harmony said as he walked passed her. �Yeah, harmony I am.� He said as he walked into his office. He really didn�t want to talk to her about his personal life, mainly because that�s what she usually bothered him about anyway. When
he walked in Gunn and Westley were standing around talking about a case.
�Angel��Wes said. �Yeah.� He Answered. �Where were you we were
looking for you,� Gunn said. �Downstairs� He replied. �That�s
what harmony said� Wes started. �Well that�s all you need to
know.� Angel said. �Fine but she said something about you being with
Buffy�� Gunn said. �What about Buffy?� Angel asked. �Just that
she was with you�. when you left.� Gunn said. Westley looked
surprised. �So what if she was, it�s not really any of your business
is it?� Angel said getting a little defensive. �Come on Angel,
what�s really going on here?� Wes asked. �Nothing that you have to
worry about,� Angel answered. Angel�s
Apartment Buffy sat her things down by the large sofa in the living room. When she looked up at willow she noticed that her friend looked like she was about to cry. �What�s wrong?� she questioned. �Nothing this just feels, like I�m losing my best friend in the entire world again.� Willow answered. �I know� Buffy said sympathetically. �It�s just�. I can�t believe this is how it ends; I just thought we�d be together until� we all died,� Willow said. �I know me too, but we aren�t, and you know where I am if you need me.� Buffy said. �Yeah, I know, I love you Buffy.� Willow said and hugged her friend tightly. Buffy smiled. �Okay go on get out of here before you make me cry.� Buffy said smiling. Willow nodded with a smile and turned walked to the elevator, all the while Buffy stood watching, and smiling. When the doors opened to an empty elevator door, Willow grimaced where Buffy couldn�t see. She had always thought Buffy to be a stronger person than her physically and emotionally. She stepped in and pressed the down button and smiled at Buffy and waved just before the doors closed. The doors were closed before Buffy could wave back. Buffy just sighed and went back into the living room. Around eight o�clock that night angel came in. Buffy was in the process of putting on a jacket so that she could leave. �Hey� Angel said. Buffy looked up, �hey� She replied. �Where are you going?� Angel asked. �Out� she replied. �Where?� Angel asked. �Patrolling, a girl has gotta be able to do something for fun right?� Buffy said, �yeah I guess so� Angel said rubbing her upper arm, as he stood in front of her. �Just be careful� He said and kissed her deeply. She kissed him back. He then kissed her again except this kiss was deeper and longer than the last. Buffy then pulled away smiling �okay you win,� She said and took off her jacket, which left her arms bare and only her chest is covered by a whit tank, paired with kakis and boots, which she slipped off. Then Angel kissed her deeply again. He thinks kissing me is going to sway me�But It�s his words that means the most�Buffy thought to herself with a smiled and kissed Angel back with the same passion as his own. The next morning when Buffy woke up she realized she was in Angel�s bed and had forgotten why she was there for a moment and woke up to see Angel laying next to without a shirt on. And then she remembered. She smiled at him and laid back down Angel lightly put his arm around her waist. It had surprised Buffy because she didn�t know he was awake. He then pulled her close to him and kissed her passionately. She pulled away and smiled at him and then kissed him back with that very same passion. She pulled away and smiled at him, and then Angel managed a grin. �What happened?� Buffy asked sweetly laying her head down and looking at Angel. �When?� He asked her back as he sat up a little to look down at her a little bit more. �Last night.� Buffy said. �You passed out watching TV, and I brought you in here.� Angel said with a grin. �Oh��Buffy said with a grin, and leaned up a bit to kiss him deeply. He kissed her back and slowly let him self down next to he, still kissing her. Finally Buffy Pulled away, a little short of breath. �Don�t you have to go to work?� Buffy said still breathing heavily. �No, not yet any way.� Angel answered slightly out of breath. Then he kissed her again deeply, and then Let her down into the pillow and kissed her even more. And she pulled away again, almost out of breath again. �Maybe we shouldn�t.� she suggested. Angel laid down next to her almost out of breath. You�re right, we shouldn�t.� he said resting next to her.� And you�re right I do have to go to work before Gunn or Westley come down looking for me.� Angel said with a smile and kissed her again, with passion, and then he got up and put on a clean button up shirt that he left unbuttoned, and went into the other room. Buffy then sat up and watched him then she too got up just before he was about to leave. �Angel� She said quickly. He spun around to face her. �Yeah?� He questioned. �I-I uh, oh the hell with it,� She said and kissed him deeply, It took angel by surprise for a moment, Then he willing kissed her back. He then pulled away for a second. �I thought you didn�t�want,� He said before she kissed him again. �I was�being modest� She said after pulling away, it was a test�.� Buffy answered. �Oh, did I pass?� Angel said grinning holding her by her waist �With flying colors� Buffy said with a devilish grin, and kissed him again. He then kissed her back, but stopped when her heard the ding of an elevator. Buffy looked at him the turned her head toward the sound, angel let go of her waist, and walked to the elevator. To see Spike coming up the hall.� Angel, just the guy I�m looking for.� He said before he stopped in front of him. �What do you want Spike?� Angel asked as Buffy walked up behind Angel quietly to see what was going on. �Well I�. Buffy�.� was all he could manage once his eyes drifter to her. Angel turned back to see her standing behind him. �Hey.� He said to her. �Her� Buffy replied entwining her hand into Angel�s �What�s she bloody doing here with you?� Spike Questioned. �I�m here on my own choice.� Buffy said sharply. �Well then, aren�t we the little puppy� Spike replied making little sense or logic �Come to follow Angel around again eh�� Spike said angrily. �No�. I do what I want,� Buffy said getting angry. �What was I not good enough for you?� Spike said half yelling at her. �No you weren�t.� Buffy said calmly. �Oh I see how it is�always angel well I don�t bloody need you!� Spike said angrily and stomped off down the hall. Buffy stood stunned for a moment. �Hey, you okay?� Angel asked placing his hands on her waist as he moved in front of her. �Yeah� She replied meekly as she looked up at him and managed a smile. She then leaned in and kissed him deeply again. He then kissed her back matching her very own passion. Angel pulled away. �Now I really do have to go to work.� Angel said and kissed her deeply again. Then went into the other room buttoning his shirt up. He found his shoes and then put them on. Buffy stood watching him for the moment. When he walked back over to where she was standing, but his shirt was buttoned and he had his shoes on. He stopped and looked her in the eyes for a moment quietly. He then kissed her deeply not taking a breath for as long as he could. He then pulled away. Buffy gave him a smile and a nod and with that he kissed her forehead gently and walked sown the hall to the open elevator and pressed the button to close the elevator doors, he wanted not to leave now more than ever, but he had to at leas t be at work for a couple of hours. The doors closed and he was gone from Buffy�s sight. |
