Famous Love

Rating: M, only because of lots of rather strong language, and adult themes that will pop up later. Just to be safe really.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Buffy characters. Naturally, they belong to Joss Whedon.

Summary: AU. Buffy Summers and Angel O'Donovan are the two hottest names in Hollywood. But when one starts badmouthing the other, all hell breaks loose in beautiful Tinseltown.

"So Angelus, in your latest film you play a spy who is rather lucky when it comes to the ladies. What were you like in high school? Were the girls swooning over you back then as well?"

Angel laughed, "Please Giuliana, look at this face. Of course the girls were after me. They were basically crazy for me. What kind of guy would I have been if I turned any of them down?" he finished with a sexy grin, but then added, "It's just a shame you didn't go to school with me back then, cause we would have had some fun for sure."

A blush quickly appeared on Giuliana's face, but she tried to move on with the interview. "Aww thanks Angeles! You're such a sweet guy. But let's try to move on without making me blush hopelessly anymore in front of America."

"I'll try, by what can I say? America just loves to see a pretty girl blush," he said smoothly.

Once again Giuliana continued to blush but moved on with another topic trying to ignore Angel's previous comment. "So lately in the press there seems to be ongoing speculation that there has become some sort of rift between you and America's sweetheart, Buffy Summers. What are some of your thoughts on the whole matter? Are the rumors true or are they merely just fabrications made by the media?"

Angel's charming smile never faltered as he began to answer the question. "There's no rift between the two of us," As he took a quick pause, Giuliana smiled thinking he was done, but he continued after a second.

"In order for there to be a rift between people, they have to actually have had liked each other at some point. That's not the case between Ms. Summers and me. You see, I take acting very seriously and just adore all those fans out there who think the world of me; but I've had to actually work extremely hard in order to get where I am today. Believe it or not Giuliana, these good looks don't buy me everything. But Buffy Summers grew up as a daddy's girl to her famous writer father and hasn't had to lift an arm to become an actress. What can I say other than our personalities just don't mesh? I'm one of those guys who live for the moment and take risks while Summers, well she's just a goody-good rich girl, who by smiling like some kind of pageant-girl on steroids in front of the camera, has brought her fame," Angel paused long enough to add another captivating smile on his already angelic face, "But no, there's no rift between us Giuliana."

"You have got to be kidding me!" Buffy Summers exclaimed as she clicked off her wide-screen television in her office at her Beverly Hills home turning off the E! Entertainment Interview.

"Wow," was all Buffy's longtime best friend Willow Rosenberg could say, still speechless from watching the interview.

Buffy and Willow had known each other ever since Buffy was sixteen and decided she wanted to attend a regular high school. Willow, though shy and timid, immediately became friends with the starlet while many other kids taunted Buffy for being so famous at such a young age. Willow was always able to look past the fact that Buffy's face was always on countless magazines and was able to be there whenever Buffy needed to rant and rave about the press. After high school, both girls attended UCLA. Buffy ended up coming to Willow's a lot the night before a test and cramming since she hardly ever had time to actual do the school work when it was due. But teachers were lenient with her, well, most of them and both the girls had graduated that past spring. After graduation, the girls bought a house in Beverly Hills and moved in shortly after.

"He takes acting seriously?" Buffy continued as if Willow hadn't said anything. "I can't believe he actually said that with a straight face."

"Buffy I'm sure he wasn't implying that you don't take acting seriously," Willow said trying to calm Buffy down even though she knew Angelus had in fact lashed out at Buffy.

Buffy suddenly stopped screaming about Angelus for enough time to look at Willow. "Were you just watching the same interview just then Wills? He basically just attacked not only me, but Giles as well. Of course he was implying I don't take Hollywood seriously," she said while moving across the room to sit on the edge of her desk.

"No I know Buffy, but you just can't let him get to you. Right Faith?" Willow asked turning to the young woman sitting sideways with her legs in the air on one of Buffy's office chairs.

Faith Lehane had been friends with Buffy for around two years. They met back when Buffy was twenty and Faith was eighteen working as a model for Ford Modeling Agency. Buffy helped Faith to become an even larger star by having the paparazzi see them together and take pictures of Buffy with Faith. From the outside it looked like a strange friendship, Buffy being the sweet innocent girl and Faith the more outgoing in-your-face kind of person. But, however innocent America believed Buffy to be, once she got in the clubs with Faith, all her walls were let down, and she definitely always enjoyed herself when Faith was around. The two butted heads often, but in the end, they both knew what it was like to live the lives they were living and because of that were able to be there for one another.

"Look B, he's an ass, just look past that. It's just one idiot, and honestly he ain't that sly if you ask me. I bet he doesn't have a lot of junk in the trunk if you get my gist," Faith said.

Buffy laughed at Faith's comment, "Guys, I don't give a crap about what Mr. America-likes-to-see-a-pretty-girl-blush has to say about anything, let alone what he says about me. All he's really doing is creating tons of media so that his publicity shoots through the roof, and people talk about him. Anyways, it's all just for his new movie. I am just shocked that he actually thinks he's a good actor. All he ever does is action movies so he can be yet another hero and actually have a reason to smile at the camera. I mean, seriously guys, he's off in some denial land if he honestly thinks he's up for the next academy award," she said rolling her eyes.

"Alright B, whatever cuts your bread is five by five with me," Faith replied.

"Yeah Buffy, I'm just worried about you. You can't let pig-boy get you down," Willow said trying to make sure Buffy wasn't truly hurt by Angel's assumptions.

Buffy smirked at Willow's nickname for Angeles. As true as it was that Willow could be as shy of a person as possible, she still had her moments when anyone insulted her friends.

Faith was getting a bit agitated with all the fluff radiating off Willow and soon changed the subject. "So B, you're not just gonna let this punk-of-an-ass get away with calling you a Carrie on Crack, now are you?"

"Maybe this isn't such a good idea Buffy," Willow interrupted. "I mean, you still have an image to withhold and you don't want to stoop down to his level do you?" Willow questioned Buffy hoping to have things become out of control.

"Don't worry Will. I'm not going to stoop down to anyone's level, but things are going to happen and when they do, Angelus won't know what hit him," Buffy finished with a mischievous grin looking at Faith who was smirking and Willow who looked a bit worried.

"Game's on O'Donovan."

Author's Note:

Alright quick note: I'm sure Giuliana DePandi isn't as, well, ditzy as I made her seem. Basically I just used her because she was the most obvious choice, at least for me. And it just shows how Angel is able to make girls weak at the knees and blush like crazy.

So anyways, that's the first chapter. It's a bit short, the rest of the chapters are much much longer, so don't worry. I just thought that was a good place to stop. So please tell me what you think and REVIEW!
