Chapter 1
It's Your Choice"Ok Angel…let's start! I am like so prepared to kick your ass today!" Cordelia said as she skipped down the basement stairs. Angel couldn't help but marvel Cordelia's appearance, although it wasn't on one of its most appealing days. Why was it that whenever they trained he always made it a point to glare at her outfit? Angel's eyes roamed around Cordelia's body, she was totally oblivious to his stares. Angel stared at her short grey tank top and her sweat pants that came down to her hips and hung off baggy. Her hair was tied up into to two piggy tails and she had slight make up on. She was sooo damn cute! He so wanted to tell her how good she looked, how she made his heart skip and how much he loved her but the words that came out of his mouth really made him want to kick himself.
" Cordy…you're late. Tardiness is unacceptable."
" Ok Wesley!" Cordelia replied sarcastically doing a salute. Angel rolled his eyes and when her back was turned a small smile crept up his face.
" So I thought we'd start with the kick, duck, kick punch thing ok?"
" Sure…" She got into her position and performed the sequence perfectly.
" That was great! Wow, have you been practising?"
" Groo and I did a few moves together."
Angel's face fell.
" Ummm…do you want him to train you instead? I don't mind."
" What? No Angel…I don't want that. You shouldn't mix boyfriend and work together…you know? Well except for Gunn and Fred and a few other couples back in Sunnydale…ok fine so most people do it. I just don't want to ruin it though if I mixed the two."
" Ruin your relationship with Groo?"
" No… my relationship with you." Confusion spread over Angel's face.
" Huh?"
" I know that ever since Groo has come here, you and I…we haven't spent so much time together. I especially haven't spent time with Connor…and I'm really ashamed of that. I can't believe that I let a guy with good eyes…ok remarkable eyes come and sweep me away from you and Connor…so I just want us to spend time together so I won't spend so much time with him. I know that sounds bad on my part as the girlfriend because as much as he covers up I know he really doesn't like me coming to work like all the time and he just wants to pamper me and make me be with him." Cordelia babbled. She then paused.
"But I can't do that… I can't always be with him. I'm your best friend and I told you I'd stick with you till u shanshu…I'm not letting go of that promise. And not even Groo can take me away from you." Cordelia looked totally sincere…Angel was surprised. Those words were deep and if they were in a context of love they would have been the best words in the world…but now he was confused. Was she telling him she would be with him and not Groo or would she be with Groo and not him or was she just saying something which he didn't get like usual?
" Ok…reply comin' here or what?"
" I-I don't understand Cor…who do you really want?"
Cordelia froze…this wasn't what she was expecting. All she wanted was a thank you or something.
" What do you mean who do I really want?"
" You've said so yourself Groo's in the way of your work and your work's in the way of Groo…you have to choose one." Cordelia's face showed dread for a second. This was not a decision she wanted to make.
" Is work…you?"
There was an awkward pause.
" Yes. Choosing work means choosing me. It's either me or Groo."
" Angel…please don't make me make that choice."
" Cordy…I know it's selfish and all. But it's for your best if you decide on your future now with whomever you can be kinda normal."
" I can never be normal and you know that…I'm half demon now."
" Yeah, but at least you'll know who you're going to spend the rest of your life with… your boyfriend or me."
" Angel but I made a promise to you…"
" I won't hold anything against you if you choose him."
" But…"
" I've got to tell you one thing though before you make this decision."
" What's that?" Cordelia was totally baffled by this point.
" I love you."
With that Angel walked out of the basement leaving Cordelia utterly perplexed.
