Chapter 2 - Trip to L.A
Angel paced up and down his office, wary of the time when Buffy would come and visit. He knew this would happen eventually. He knew when Willow and Xander mentioned how much time Spike had been spending with them. He just didn't expect it when Giles had confirmed it over the phone.
"Angel, you need to let it go. She's with Spike now. No need to get all broody over it." Cordelia said.
He hadn't heard her storm into his office, with her arms crossed.
"Cordy, what? I'm not bothered. Buffy has her life. i have mine."
"Oh come on. Buffy is ready to move over here, because she finally destroyed Sunnydale. With her lover. And you're telling me you're 'not bothered'?
" That's exactly what i'm saying Cordelia. Now why don't you tell Lorne to stop listening in at the door."
Lorne walked in, slightly embarrased. "Honey, you're giving off a negative aura. I don't need to sneak around to know that this thing between Buffy and Spike is bothering you."
Angel pointed at Cordelia, now frustrated. "You go do something useful, and you" He pointed at Lorne "Stop reading my aura, and go read somebody else."
Suddenly Wesley came rushing into Angel's office. "Angel, buffy's here."
"Oh, great. Is he here with her?"
"Well, yes. He wouldn't let her come alone."
Spike's voice could be heard from the lobby "Too right. You think i would let her come out here alone to visit tall, brooding handsome Captain Hairgel by herself? Scrap the handsome part. I can't have you trying to get back in there."
"Spike" buffy groaned. "Stop it, play nice. I'll deal with this." She walked from the lobby into Angel's office. "We need a place here. like as soon as. We're kind of in a rush. We can't live in a motel forever. I thought you'd be able to do this for me."
"Uh, yeah i'll get Gunn and Fred on it right away."
"Good. So will we be able to stay here while you get on it? One more night in that motel and i will explode. Plus we'll be able to help you with the demon trouble here."
Wesley cut in. "Well we're not exactly short of space are we Angel? So when you say 'we' you mean yourselves, Giles, Xander, Willow and Dawn?"
"And Andrew. He's sort of one of the gang now. One of the scoobies"
"Sure, why not. Go ahead. It'll be nice having guests." Angel said, a little too brushly.
Buffy and Spike, led by Fred went to their room. While Wesley got on the phone, to Giles to tell them the news of them staying. 10 minutes later Wesley came back into Angel's office.
"Everything is taken care off. They should be here in the next couple of days."
"Wonderful. Can't wait. Bring on the old team, and new..people"
