Ch. 4!

"I can't believe you're actually here!" I said excitedly to Tom as we walked down the hall to find Angel.

"I know it'll just be like old times eh Buff?" Tom said laughing, I couldn't help but smile back at him.

"I don't understand how she knows him and it's bugging me!" Willow whispered to Faith, who were following behind me and Tom.

"I know how would she know Angelus's cousin?" Faith whispered back.

We walked into the library to see Cordelia leaning in and giggling at Angel with Xander and Anya, Spike, Doyle, and Oz sitting and doing their homework. I tapped Angel on the shoulder and he jumped and looked to the right but I was on the left.

"hey Angel!" I said cheerfully

"What are you doing Buffy" Angel said acting irritated.

" You'll never guess who the new kid is!" I said excitedly and sat down next to him.

"I don't really care now go away" he said obviously annoyed

" You don't care about your own cousin?" Tom asked from behind him.

"Tom!" Angel said and turned around to hug him. " I can't believe you're here!"

" I know neither can I and I can't believe you and Buffy haven't changed a bit, still after each other's throats." Tom said laughing " So Angelus what are you doing after school?"

"Uhh nothing so far, why?"

"Well I want to do something with you since its been forever, so I'm coming over, I would ask you to come to my house but nothings unpacked yet really so I'm coming to your house." Tom said smiling.

"Yeah thats ok, my moms gone on another stupid 'business trip'."

"And I guess I'll see you there to Buff." Tom said

Everyone all had puzzled looks on that last comment "Buffy at Angelus's house? Ha thats a laugh." Anya said laughing.

"Yeah Buffy would never be caught dead at Angelus's" Willow said laughing

"What she's been over there before" Tom said and everyone looked at me.

"Only once because my mom and his mom had to 'talk' to each other" I said hurridly.

"But-" Tom began but I cut him off by giving him a shutup look and we all walked out of the library.

"I don't want Buffy at Angel's house" Cordelia whispered to Willow on the way out.

"Why you have nothing to worry about, its Buffy and Angelus, they hate each other as much as possible and since when did you start calling Angelus Angel?" Willow asked

"What I'm not allowed to call him Angel?" Cordelia snapped " Buffy's not the only one that can call him Angel."

"Are you jealous of Buffy?" Willow asked giggling

"no it's just...I don't trust her and we're going over to Angel's house later on after school because there's no WAY I'm leaving Buffy with Angel." Cordelia said

"Listen Cordy, I don't think there's anything to worry about with Buffy and Angelus, believe me."

(After school in the parking lot)

"Hey guys!" Tom yelled at us.

"Hey Tom!" I said getting into Angel's car.

"I brought my car so I'll meet ya at your house ok?" Tom said

"ok see ya." Angel said

Just about the same time we got to Angel's house, Tom came jumping out of his car.

"Now we have TONS to catch up on!" Tom said putting his arm around me and Angel "And what was that whole ordeal with Buffy wouldn't be caught dead at Angelus's house and you've only been here once when your living here!"

"Well they don't know I'm living here."I began

"And they don't know that our families are friends and they think me and Buffy only have known each other since 5th grade." Angel said

"And they think we hate each other." I said

"Think?" Angel said

"OK ok either way we still hate each others guts." I said rolling my eyes

"That's right." Angel said grinning and messing up the top of my hair.

I shrieked and ran past them into the house.

"My god has she gotten hotter." Tom said after I was inside "Don't you think?"

Angel just shrugged

"ahhh come on Angelus you know she is, just cause you hate her doesn't mean she can't be hot cause I mean look at that ass." Tom said and Angel just looked at him funny. "You know I'm right."

"Ok I will admit she is hot but that doesn't change anything." Angel said

"It surprises me that a hot girl like that doesn't dress like she thinks she's hot, when some girls that aren't as hot dress like they are, I like that about Buffy. I should have known you'd be going out with some hotsy totsy ditz that dresses like a whore." Tom said laughing

Angel just glared as he walked into his house to see Buffy watching Spongebob.

"Spongebob?" Angel asked

"Yeah...you like it too Angel don't tell me you don't cause just this morning you were watching Spongebob and eating fruitloops." I said grinning

"Yeah I like cartoons but we're not watching it now." he said trying to take the remote.

"No!" I screached and tried to take it away and pretty soon Angel was on top of me holding my hand above my head and my forearm of the other one that had the remote in its hand.

"If you let go of my hands you know I'll get away." I said grinning and looking into his eyes to see him grinning, god I could get lost in his eyes.

"You guys are idiots." Tom said watching us fight for the remote.

"Tom quick take the remote!" Angel said

Tom just laughed "This is between you and Buffy." he said just as he heard a knock on the door.

"Hi Cordelia, Willow, Faith" Tom said grinning. Faith came because she said she had nothing else to do. "Come on in." he said and they all stopped in their tracks when they saw Angel on top of Buffy on the floor in front of the tv but to stunned to say anything.

"Don't make me do it." Angel said

"Do what?" I asked knowing I had won or thinking.

"This" he said and started to tickle me and he quickly took the remote and got up holding the remote above his head. " I am good!" Angel said and turned around to see Cordelia, Willow and Faith and he quickly put the remote to his side. "Cordelia, Willow, Faith what are you guys doing here?" he asked as I took the remote from his hand and turned it back to Spongebob. Angel shot me a glare but quickly looked back at Cordelia.

"We just thought we'd stop by and try to get to know Tom a bit more since he's your cousin and all." Cordelia said

"oh."Thats all Angel could say

"Hey I have an idea." Tom said "I've been wanting to go to this amusement park, and I don't know what it's called but it's somewhere in Minnesota."( a.n. I don't know if there's actually a park, I just made it up and I live in Iowa so I'll be going by how AdventureLand is. Now get readin.)

"Uhh one problem Tom, school?" I said giving him a 'duh' look.

"Yeah I know but we can have our moms give us a note that excuses us for a bit." he said

"I'm in" Angel said and Willow and all of them nodded

"uhh I don't know cause that will be a lot of makeup work and I don't know if I want to miss it." I said

"who said you were going anyway?" Cordelia said in a snotty voice.

"Of course Buffy's going, it's tradition for me, Buffy, and Tom to go at least once a year." Angel said "I'm going to go call my mom and ask if she can send me a note."

I just started to watch tv again hoping they wouldn't ask about Angel's little slip up comment. I knew they all had puzzled looks on their faces.

"Hey mom" Angel said talking to his mom on the phone.

"Hey honey, how is everything?" she asked

"Just fine, you having fun?"

"If you call work fun." Mellisa said laughing. "How's Buffy?"

"She's fine."

"I take it you guys are getting along just fine."

"Oh yeah just wonderful." Angel said sarcastically but she didn't seem to notice.

"Good"

"Hey mom I was wondering if you could send me a note to leave school for a couple of days."

"Why?" Mellisa asked suspiciously, her son has been notorious for making up excuses just to get out of school.

"Tom just came in town for a while and he wants us all to come to an amusement park but it just happens to be in Minnesota."

"Minnesota!" she exclaimed. "Do you realize you live in California, I mean Minnesota's quite a ways a way."

"Yeah but I'll be with Tom, Doyle, Oz, Xander, Spike, Buffy, Cordelia, Willow, Anya, and Faith."

"Buffy's going?" Mellisa said hopefully

"Yes mom, she's coming." he said sounding annoyed.

"She's not driving is she?"

"No." Angel said laughing.

"Ok, I'll send a note, be good Angelus, you hear me?"

"Yeah yeah." he said rolling his eyes even if she couldn't see him.

"Can I speak with Buffy for a moment?"

"Yup just a sec."

"BUFFY?" Angel yelled from the kitchen

"What!" I yelled

"Come here!"

"What?" I said as I got into the room.

"My mom wants to talk to you."

"Hello?"

"Buffy sweety how are you?"

"Good."

"You and Angelus been getting along?" she asked

"uhh yeah pretty good." I said

"good well you know the whole amusement park thing?"

"Yeahhh." I said slowly

"Well, your mom just left but-."

"Left?" I asked puzzled

"oh yeah she and your father are on a business trip with us, we got the same assignment and I'll talk to her about the amusement park and I'll send you her exscuse when I send mine for Angelus's, that sound good to you?"

"Yup."

"Ok well you and Angelus have fun."

"We will." I said not totally sure if that was the truth or not.

"Bye."

"Bye"

"So what did your mother say Buff?" Angel asked when I got into the room.

"Oh she's sending a note."

"Cool, then we can leave on Saturday and be back in a couple of days." Tom said "You guys better ask and tell the guys if you see em."

(Half and hour later)

We were all sitting around, Cordelia just happened to be leaning into Angel. I don't know why it was irritating me so much. I think it's just cause it's Cordelia and I don't want to see her happy and have a boyfriend..I want a boyfriend! I mean usually I'm fine not having one but now that Cordelia has a boyfriend even if he is some sort of a player. I mean I know I like Angel more than I like to admit but not in a boyfriend way so don't be getting any ideas, but then there's always Tom. He's cute with his dark hair, dark eyes, pretty tall and he does have a great personality... maybe I can try and give it a shot. Well we have a couple days before we leave for Minnesota to flirt with him at school and in the car on the way there. Yes, thats perfect.

"I'm bored." I finally said

"ahh I know there's nothing to do." Angel said while running his fingers through Cordelia's hair.

"We could go to the Bronze?" Faith said

"Yeah, well I'm going to go home and change my clothes." Willow said

"So am I." Cordelia said getting up and giving Angel one last kiss.

"Same here." Faith said.

"See you." they all said walking out leaving Buffy, Tom, and Angel.

"I'm going to go change." I said walking upstairs

Angel watched me as I went up but I didn't notice, but Tom did.

"You like her." Tom said as I was out of ear shot.

"Who? Cordelia? Yeah I do she's my girlfriend" Angel said with a 'duh' look.

"No you idiot, Buffy!" Tom said and Angel just laughed

"Are you serious? Buffy? Uhh no ha ha no she's well she's Buffy and well we kind of don't like each other so I don't think thats possible." Angel said "Why so curious all the sudden that you think ME of all people would like Buffy?" Angel said raising his eyebrows accusingly.

"I don't like her." Tom said sheepishly

"Tom?"

"Ok ok I like her but I really don't think she would even look twice at me." Tom said walking off into the kitchen "At least not with you around." he mummbled. Tom always as a hunch that Buffy had a little crush on Angel and he still did.

"Well I'm not standing in your way." Angel yelled from in the living room.

(Back upstairs)

I decided on a red long sleeved shirt that dipped pretty low with just regular kind of tight blue jeans, I figured I would wait to wear sexy clothes for Tom at school. I grinned as I thought of that.

I came downstairs to hear Angel and Tom arguing about something.

"Well I'm not standing in you way." I heard Angel say until he saw me coming down the stairs.

"You ready?" he asked

"yup."

"Well lets go." Tom said walking past us out the door.

Sorry its been taking me sooo long to update! It might take me a bit to have ch. 5 up because I'm going to try and have all my chapters or at least some written ahead because at the moment I have none of ch.5 finished. I know I'm sorry its been hard to write with the new Harry Potter book out (which I've been finished with for a couple of days now) And my current obsession with Star Wars and I have a book to read in that too. I'll try and hurry. Review please! And I wouldn't mind some ideas too. If you don't like where I'm heading with this story by all means go ahead and yell at me. Don't forget to Review!
