Buffy was going to her apartment, she was happy because she would finally be able to get out of her fathers house, she had found a wonderful penthouse in east Los Angeles, it had taken her all day with her friends help to move in and her and her friends were going clubbing that night. She went into her closet that she had just filled with new clothsshe said "what do I want to say" she held up the loose cut top that was a drape blouse that hung down in the center with one wrong slip it could fall off and gave all of her clevage a workout, with matching leather pants,
"hi I'm Buffy… I look like a hooker" she held up her white crape top and her black jeans with her short leather jacket she said "much better" she curled her hair and put on her dark makeup, and was headed out the door. She went to the club and partied with her friends for hour she left about to because she was buzzed and tired. She was walking home because she didn't live far and she told her escorts if they followed her she was going to kick all there buts and they believed her so they did as there were told and got lost. After she was half way there she felt like she was being followed she stopped a minute and then kept going she was one building away from her own when she ducked in between and stood waiting when he came near the alley opening she grabbed him and pushed him against the wall, he was dressed in black from head to toe and had on oval frameless sunglasses, he held his hands up a bit startled,
he said "what the hell"
she said snatching the glasses off "cut the crap… why the hell are you following me, did one of my fathers boy send you because I swear…"
he said "following you… I don't even know you are…why the hell would I follow you, I was going to my building" he pointed to the building. Same one as the one she lived in. she let him go backing off she handed him the glass,
he said rubbing his neck "I was coming home from the same club, I saw you go in here and I thought I would see why… for a girl you kind of spry"
she said handing him back the glasses "yeah… well your lucky"
he said "whys that" she said "because most people that follow me… die very quickly"
he was a bit startled "you don't date much do you"
she said "you want start something"
he said putting on his glasses "no… I was concerned, I was just trying to be nice… do yourself a favor"
she said glaring at him "and what might that be"
he said "loose the attitude, you might get a friend"
she said "maybe I don't need any friends"
he walked away saying "wasn't offing" she waited until he had gone in and went into her place.
