So here we go, Chapter 2 , hope you enjoy it :D
"Alright that's the last of the boxes" said Angel, as Buffy jumped off the back of the removal van with perfect finesse. She'd always been good at gymnastics and often did Yoga, so it was no suprise that she was so flexible.
"I'll go put it in the house Buffy" Angel said with a smile
"I can do it Angel it's okay" Buffy said, she posessed quite a lot of strength for just a small person
"No no, I've got it honey it's alright" Angel quickly grabbed the box then walked up their new driveway, Buffy sighed.
"Thank god, thought I'd pop a hernia carrying those boxes" cried Xander
"Xander, you carried one box into the house then declared you were too manly to be doing this, then you and Anya snuck behind the van for a makeout session" Willow scolded him, as Anya looked sheepishly at Xander
"Well Xander was sweating and he looked so sexy and I imagined having sex with him so I had to get away" Anya declared
"Anya! Well yeah anyway Willow what about you and Tara? Where did you go when we had to move the wardrobe eh?" Willow and Tara looked at one another in horror
"We didn't realise you'd seen us.." Tara mumbled quietly
Buffy laughed, she really did have some wonderful friends who she loved so dearly. Willow was of course her best friend, but Xander a close second, as it had been originally them three together in high school. It started off as them three at first, but eventually more people joined their group, like Willow's first boyfriend Oz, and Cordelia Chase the 'popular' girl of the school, but she went on to date xander for a long time. Buffy sighed at the memories, they always had great times in school, and despite everything she missed Cordy and Oz. But unfortunately Willow and Xander had been growing attracted to each other and Cordy and Oz found them smooching one night.
"Buffy? Yo buffster hellooo" suddenly Xander was waving his hand in front of her
Buffy blinked "Oh, sorry guys I was just thinking about the past you know? Us in high school"
Willow smiled "The Scooby Gang yeah?"
"I prefer not to think about High School, bad memories" Xander shuddered
"What about when you met me? Did I not charm you with my wit and sarcasm?" Anya asked
"Of course I liked that sweetie, and yes you certainly did. It was just other things such as being bullied mercilessly, and Cordelia Chase problems.." Xander sighed
"I heard she's working in Los Angeles as an actress now, she's definitely going up in the world huh" Willow chuckled
"A lot of things has changed since then.." Tara said
Buffy began to think. It certainly had, after their graduation Willow had gone to College and met Tara, and after some time she decided to come out to her friends and they had accepted both her and Tara with open arms. Xander had gone to work at a construction site and was now living and engaged to Anya, Dawn was now in High School and her mother and Giles were happily living in the Summer household, after meeting one night at parents evening for Buffy. As for Buffy? She was now married to her childhood sweetheart, so everything was perfect.. right?
"Buffy?" Willow asked
"Oh gosh sorry I keep zoning out" Buffy smiled sheepishly
"We'll have to keep a permenant eye on you then Summer's" Xander laughed
Suddenly there were two arms wrapped around her waist, and lips at her ears
"All unpacked darling, we're officiay moved in" Angel whispered, giving her a kiss on the cheek
"Ew please enough of that, there are ladies present, keep it in the bedroom Deadboy" Xander scolded. Deadboy was his nickname for Angel, as because of his pale skin Xander thought he was a creature of the undead.
"Like you and Anya don't do this in front of us all the time" Angel laughed
"Come on, let's go in already! This romantic banter is getting me agitated and I don't want to stand around anymore" Anya whined
They all laughed and began to walk towards the door, but Buffy kept back
"You guys go ahead, I want to take in the surroundings" Angel looked at her questioningly
"You sure?" Buffy nodded
"I'll be fine, I'll be 5-10 minutes" Buffy gave him a reassuring nod and Angel flashed his 'hearthrob' smile then disappeared into the house.
Buffy sighed, then began to walk down the drive and onto the pavement. The truth was she wanted some space to clear her head and to revalidate her relationship with Angel. Yes she admits the house is nice, and the neighborhood seems nice enough, and they are only 5 minutes away from her mothers house and Willows but there was that nagging feeling in the back of her head that wouldn't go away. Angel was trying so hard to please her, she could tell but it she just felt like a helpless 16 year old girl again, he did everything for her, it was just oppressing her. What am I doing? she thought, I love Angel, I need him, all this talk about leaving him is stupid.
Suddenly, a black 1963 DeSoto car came rushing past Buffy causing her head to spin, and parked next door to her house. Oh Christ that must be our neighbour she thought, bet it's some old has been still 'rocking' and is going to be a total pain in my ass.
Buffy eagerly waited in anticipation for his appearance, and after about a minute the car door swung open. Out came a young man, wearing thick boots, jeans, a black t shirt and an old back leather duster, and dark sunnies. He was carrying a bottle of bourbon and had a cigarette in his mouth already lit, his hair was a radioactive shade of blonde and slicked back, and he had cheekbones that could cut glass. He took off his sunnies to reveal clear blue eyes that observed the surroundings.
"Home sweet home" he scoffed.
