Chapter 2

"Bloody hell Angelus my parent's have kicked me out again," William said falling into the couch. Angelus smiled at his friend, "We have the extra room your welcome to take it." William and Angelus had been best friends since they were 12 years old. William had moved to the states with his parent's the summer before the sixth grade school year had commenced. Angelus and William would do anything for each other and they both had done many things for the other that they would never do for another. Drusilla rushed down the stairs her long locks pulled into a loose ponytail. Her yellow sundress really showed off her womanly curves. William never remembered her looking so grown up before. He quickly swallowed the dry lump that had formed in his throat. "Angel can I please go to The Bronze tonight?," she pleaded with her older brother the phone cradled against her shoulder. Angelus' eyes narrowed and a frown played across his face. "You do not need to go to the Bronze," he stated flatly. Drusilla put on her best pout face sticking out her lower lip, "Please Angel I promise to be home by 11," she pleaded then saw the look on his face, "come on 10 then?" William chuckled at how over protective Angelus was when it came to his sister. "Come on Angelus let her go I was planning on stopping by there myself I got a date with Faith I'll check on her for you," William offered. Angelus looked between his friend and his sister wondering when they had gotten into cahoots with each other. Finally he relented, "Fine be home by 10:30." Drusilla squealed in delight then spoke into the phone, "I'll meet you there in an hour." Angelus watched as she turned to walk up the stairs, "Dru," he called after her waiting for her to turn around, "I mean it not a minute after 10:30." Drusilla rolled her eyes at her big brother, "I know I'll be home by 10:30."

William walked into the dark musky atmosphere of The Bronze. He scanned the crowed until he found the table where Dru and her friends were all seated. He had lied when he said he had a date with Faith. He didn't know why he had done it, but he found himself attracted to his best friend's little sister. He watched her for a long time as she laughed and joked with her friends. She was a sexy little thing and he wanted to dance with her badly. Slowly he made his way across the room to the table. "Hey ducks how you doing?," he asked Drusilla. Drusilla turned around blushing, "Don't call me that William please?" William chuckled at her embarrassment then reached for her hand. "Come dance with me," he said pulling her towards him. Dru looked at him confused, "Where's Faith?" William quickly lied, "She had to go home early and seeings how I promised Angelus I would check on you I thought you owed me a dance." Dru giggled at him and let him lead her out to the dance floor. They danced several dances then William commented that it was nearly half past ten and that he should get her home. Dru said goodbye to her friends then followed William out to his black Desoto. William didn't know what he was doing. She was 17 and he 20 so he didn't feel the age would be a problem, but he didn't know how Angelus would react if he tried to court his little sister.

William lay in his bed on the ground floor thinking of the girl upstairs. She was gorgeous and so womanly. He had never even noticed as more then his friend's little sister. The next morning he and Angelus were sitting watching TV in the living room. William wasn't really paying any attention to the TV nor his friend. "What's eating at you Will?," Angelus finally asked. William pulled himself out of his trance, "Huh sorry what?" Angelus laughed at his friend, "You met a new girl right?" William thought about it then shook his head yes, "Sort of." Angelus smirked at how well he could read his friend. "What happened to Faith?," Angelus asked curiously. Spike furrowed his brow trying to come up with a suitable lie, but fortunately Dru came bouncing down the stairs. "Angel, can I go to the mall?," she asked him perching herself easily on his lap. Drusilla new just how to play her older brother and she was quite the pro at it. "Who were you planning on going with?," he asked her. Angelus was quite protective of his little sister and he didn't really approve of all her friends. "Harmony," she stated simply, "Please Angel?" Drusilla took to begging as a look of utter discuss crossed his face. She knew he didn't really like Harmony, but she was a good friend to Drusilla. "Fine," he said pulling his wallet out and handing her a credit card, "but, be home by four." Dru quickly snapped the credit card from her brother and jumped off his lip planting a kiss upon his cheek before she left.

William watched the girl who was plaguing his dreams as of late bound up the stairs plastic in hand. Angelus watched his friend's gaze with interest. "So Will this new girl do I know her?," he asked curiously. William snapped out of his revere and looked at his friend, "Huh?" Angelus laughed at his friend and decided not to push the issue to far.
