Title: A Thank You
Summary: What if Cordy wasn't just a spirit at the end of You're Welcome? What if she
didn't die? Just some story I came up with talking to my friend Nancy. (AU Ending)
Disclaimer : Joss owns all things Angel related.
Pairings: Angel/Cordy, Fred/Spike and eventually Buffy/Spike and Wes/Fred
ANGEL
So all that stuff about the deals with the devil...
CORDELIA
Was God's honest truth.
But you're bigger than that. You'll win this in the end.
Angel looks over to Cordelia and nods. "You cease to amaze me." She began to laugh and walked over to his desk sitting beside him. "I'm one remarkable girl. If you just get to know me." Her hand rested on his thigh and they looked up at each other. She pulled her hand away quickly and looked away. "Im sorry. I wasn't thinking."
Angel sighed quietly "You know I never thought I could get over her." "Buffy you mean? I understand that. I didn't think I'd ever be able to get over Xander." "Xander you actually loved that weak–" he cut himself short and laughed "After all these years I still can't understand him." Cordelia got up and began to pace the room "I mean he was in love with Buffy and he hated she was with me–"
"Ok Angel. Shut up. I need to say something and I don't know If I'll have to will or balls.. Well not really balls, to say it if you keep talking. Like I was saying earlier. I didn't think I could get over Alexander Harris. But then I moved to LA met you, Doyle and you both showed me this life. A life I loved. Then Doyle.. I still cant get over that. Then I met Groo and was convinced he was the one for me. Except he knew. He knew what nobody else did. Angel it was always about you. No matter who was in my life. From the very beginning you caught me eye.You caught my real heart. The one I didn't realize I had until now.."
Angel didn't say anything for a while and Cordelia just stood looking at him. "Cordelia you know this can't work. No matter how much you or I want it. Something will happen in the end. I can't give you everything you need. The intimacy, it wont work and you know that. Its so hard for me to say, because I do love you.. But we... we can't do this.."
She walked over to him and slapped him clean across the face. "Hey wh–wha" she cut him off kissing him gently. Watching from above you could see their bodies glowing, sparking.It was true electricity. "Now don't tell me this cant work if you don't even try. You know I understand about the soul. But there has to be a loop hole around it.. Wes, Fred.. I know they can help..Angel don't give-"
This time he cut her off with his lips coming on top of hers.. "You're right Cordelia. You make me... you make me feel.. Like a better person. And I know how corny that seems and you know that Buffy will always be in my heart. But we weren't right for each other. I understand that now. The Powers That Be brought you to me."
A door flew open a second later and a blonde stood in it.
"Angel would you please tell me what going on around here? Im gone for 3 months and LA's gone to hell" she said then noticing how Cordelia and Angel were positioned.
"Buffy.." Cordelia said nodding
