Chapter 6 Tony and Roxy
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's still beating loud and clear
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
A/N: Back to back updates? Of course and hope this chapter makes you all smile.
Angel was in his office when Spike came in. Spike gave him a file and Angel reached for it and opened it. Angel glanced and had a confused look.
"Yeah, thought the same thing mate." Spike stated.
"Body found out in Vegas great but not my jurisdiction, that's FBI." Angel stated and Spike nodded. "Why give this to me?"
"You've made an impression mate." Spike answered. "Well they want you to head to Vegas and help solve this."
"Again FBI, I'm not a detective I'm a cop." Angel made it clear.
"You know what they're going to offer you if aid in this investigation?" Spike asked and Angel shook his head no and Spike gave him a piece of paper and Angel looked at it and his eyes went wide.
"Maybe I'll look into it." Angel stated and looked over the case file a little more. "This could be mob related; you have the King Pin out in Vegas, looks to be like his signature. Why didn't they give you the case you have mob experience?"
"Yeah but I'm not you." Spike answered as Angel went back to reading. "It could be mob related also underground fight club." Spike added as Angel kept reading and pointed and Angel pulled away a little. "So far from what the Corner got and some anthropologist weird name Temperance or something indentified the victims."
"Victims?" Angel asked and Spike pointed. "Two bodies were found approximately three hundred feet from each other. Female suffered massive contusions and blows at multiple body surface areas. Male found stabbed multiple times, male is believed to be a state judge Howard Henry." Angel looked up to Spike and he nodded. "Howard Henry disappeared five years ago just two days before the trial of the King Pin."
"Mob case," Spike stated.
"And the girl?" Angel asked.
"Maybe his squeeze or something the point is mate they want you in Vegas." Spike answered and Angel looked up at him. "What?"
"If this is a mob related killing then I honestly don't want to get involved I know what happens." Angel plainly stated.
"Look just trying to catch a killer really what the lab over in DC is interested in is how the woman died because she died a week ago. They want connections or was this random?" Spike explained as Angel sat there. "They want you do go under cover. Fight club but might be illegal."
"Alright then we'll go." Angel said and Spike held up his hands in defense.
"You know the game Angel you want to get into that world you need to have a pretty girl. Two guys walking around raises some flags." Spike said. "When I mean pretty they want they want pretty."
Angel was on his was way home and pulled up the driveway and thought a little more. He then looked to Buffy's house and saw some lights on. He sighed wondering what her answer was going to be. She'd probably laugh and walk away. Angel walked to her house and knocked and in a few seconds Buffy answered.
"Hi," Angel said.
"Hey uh come in," Buffy offered and he walked in and turned to the living room and saw Connor on the couch.
"Hey buddy what's going on?" Angel asked and Connor smiled at him. Buffy walked over and sat next to Connor and took him into her lap. She then looked up at Angel wondering what was going on. "Oh right, ok so uh," Angel sat on the coffee table in front of Buffy. "So I got a case in today to go to Las Vegas and well in order for me to do what I need to do I need a," He paused and Buffy waited. "Would you go under cover with me to find some underground fight clubs?" He asked and Buffy looked shocked.
"Ok first, why me? I'm not a cop." Buffy stated.
"Which is a plus, less cop…looking we are the better chance we get in." Angel answered.
"We?" Buffy asked fighting hard not to smile.
"I mean me but you don't have to do anything ok and I won't put you in any danger I just need a pretty girl. Also you're from New York I think you know how to handle the big city." Angel finished and Buffy smiled a little and shrugged.
"Alright," Buffy said and Angel smiled. "I'll do it."
Joyce was going to watch Connor as Angel and Buffy were off to Sin City. They got one hotel room but two beds. Buffy has never worked with a cop before so this would be interesting. Although she had to wait a few days before she could leave California. Part of her agreement was if she decided to jump state lines she had to provide a reason and a location. Her reason, weekend getaway. Also to hide that from Angel she played it off like she needed to make sure she secured a substitute teacher and it worked.
They got in last night and slept and now it was time to investigate. Angel was changing into an interesting look, very relaxed look with pants, undershirt and suspenders. He briefed her on what they were going to do and Buffy came out of the bathroom. Angel had yet to put on a shirt so all he had on were the pants and white tank top and Buffy couldn't deny it she liked what she saw. Then Angel looked up and looked rather sad.
"So?" Buffy asked as she wore a black dress but it was very conservative.
"Thanks but I have plenty of bibles maybe you should try next door." Was Angel's way of saying that look wasn't going to work. Buffy scoffed at the moment.
"Well you said I could keep my role as a school teacher." Buffy argued.
"Not the spincer kind that lives with her mom I was talking about the hot teacher that makes the boys crazy." Angel said and Buffy scoffed again. "Here, try this one." Angel reached for another dress and handed it to her and she looked at it.
"Angel I had a baby less than a year ago, you know how wide my hips are?" Buffy asked and Angel shrugged. "I don't know about this dress." Angel shrugged again and she rolled her eyes and went back into the bathroom.
"Remember Buffy our roles are newlyweds," Angel explained as Buffy went to change. "Taking Sin City by storm." Angel said.
"Do we have to be married?" Buffy asked, marriage was a touchy thing even though she wasn't going to admit it.
"Ok how about we're engaged." Angel offered as he put his shoes on.
"What about engaged to be engaged?" Buffy asked.
"Sure, we're a young couple ready for Sin City." Angel said as he put on his over shirt and then jacket. Then Buffy walked out of the bathroom smoothing out the black dress and Angel looked up. It was a tight black dress, the hem came above her knees and it had thin straps. He has never seen her dressed like that before and it's been a while since Buffy has worn something like this. To add on she was wearing black stilettos too. Angel was more than captivated by the look.
"This ok?" Buffy asked and Angel kept staring at her and he nodded.
"Yeah, wow Buffy," Angel didn't know what to say.
"Well black is the slimming color." Buffy added.
"You look great." Angel said and she smiled and walked up to him.
"Can you?" She asked and turned around and he nodded seeing the zipper wasn't always up. He reached for it and it zipped right up but he had one hand on her back and his finger tips could barely feel her skin and he didn't want to move. "Thank you." Buffy said and turned to face him. He nodded and she couldn't deny he looked good in his outfit.
The couple came up to a boxing a gym and walked in. Angel liked how she moved in her heels, she did have a walk and he liked it. Buffy then got closer to him.
"So, how should I act?" Buffy asked.
"You know tough New Yorker." Angel said and Buffy smiled and rolled her eyes and she put her arm around Angel's shoulder and he put one arm around her waist pulling her closer. Buffy knew what Angel was looking for in this little gig they were playing. They walked around the gym looking.
"Can I help you two with something?" A man asked and they turned around.
"Sloppy Joe Nolen," Angel said trying to get an accent going. Buffy smiled a little and he had it down rather well.
"Sloppy Joe?" Buffy asked and she brought back her New York accent.
"Yeah that's how he left his opponents." Angel answered and the man smiled.
"These days it's just Joe," The man assured them.
"Sorry to bother you Joe but you had a huge impact on me back when I was in the Marines." Angel stated and Buffy wondered if that was true or not.
"Well you look in great shape." Joe added and Buffy got close to Angel wrapping one arm around his shoulder and let the other one rest on his chest.
"Oh yeah my man is in great shape believe me." Buffy added and Angel smiled but the last part was a little seductive.
"Easy," Angel whispered to her and Buffy smiled. "So I'm Tony and this here is my girl Roxanne." Angel introduced them and Buffy smiled. "And we were looking for you know some underground action if you know what I mean. Roxy always wanted to see one. They say you're the man." And Joe nodded.
"They say a lot of things but I can't help you." Joe said and Buffy jumped in.
"Oh Tony I knew that man was just trying to hit on me," She gave the famous New York whine and Angel had to keep it cool, she was doing really well at this under cover thing. Joe smiled at Buffy or as he thought her name was Roxanne.
"I could give you a number but I wouldn't just give it to anyone." Joe said and a man came over to help the couple.
"Oh come one Joe they look like nice people." The man said and Buffy smiled. Her blonde hair was curled and she had the stunning red lipstick that could get any man's attention. It sure got Angel's but then again she got his attention a long time ago when her hair was up in a bun, wearing a t-shirt and some shorts.
"We're nice people," Buffy said and Joe nodded.
"I give you the number for a thousand bucks, each." Joe said and Angel sighed.
"That's a little steep," Angel said and Buffy turned to him and smiled.
"Oh no Tony we only live once and I want to see a fight." Buffy said and Angel didn't know what to do he didn't have two grand on him. Buffy left his side and walked over to Joe and pulled out a wod of cash from her dress and the two men smiled. She handed the cash to Joe and Angel had no idea she had that money.
"Nothing like being a kept man?' Joe asked as Buffy took her place next to Angel.
"Yeah don't know what I would do without her." Angel said looking to Buffy, was she for real?
The two left the gym and headed back to the hotel but Angel needed some answer.
"Where did that come from?" Angel asked with a smile and Buffy smiled at him.
"I'm from New York Angel, that's the type of girls you see." Buffy answered and Angel nodded. "I was never liked that but I was around enough."
"What is New York like and why move to some little town of California?" Angel asked and Buffy had to be careful on her choice of words and her how to tell her story.
"The city itself is amazing but I needed something new for myself and Connor." Buffy answered and Angel nodded and then looked to Buffy and she knew what he was asking. "Connor's father isn't in the picture, hasn't been since I was pregnant and never will be. Guess you can say he was a lair with too many secrets." Angel nodded.
"Now about that wod of cash?" Angel asked and Buffy smiled. "New Yorkers carry wods of cash on them?" Buffy giggled.
"Couldn't sleep last night so I went and played a little craps." Buffy explained.
"Beginners luck?" Angel asked.
"Don't say that or you'll jinx it." Buffy stated and Angel smiled. "So the fight's not until tomorrow night, what do we do until then?" Buffy asked.
Buffy has swum a few times the shores of New York and maybe a few times in a pool. She can count the number times she's swum on two hands. And when coming to Sunnydale it was the beginning of the school year so no time to swim. But there was a huge pool at the hotel she was dying to dip her toes into. Buffy was in the bathroom and looked at her bathing suit. What was she thinking buying a two piece? And then to wear it in front of Angel? It was a pretty black one and she grabbed a shirt and put it on. Angel was already down at the pool making sure they had a spot.
Buffy found him and the sun would be setting soon. Buffy came over and Angel took off his shirt and she did her best to hold back the look and the blushing. He was built. Angelus always looked good but Angel had definition and tone. If she had no self control she would probable attack him. She had to fight not to check him out. 'Bad Buffy don't, don't look but no, no.' She told herself as Angel tossed the shirt on the seat. Buffy wasn't sure if she was ready to take her shirt off yet. It was now or never and she did. Angel then saw her. For having a kid well you couldn't tell she even had a kid. She was beautiful.
Buffy pretended to flaunt confidence when she had little. This was the first time in a long time she was stripped to almost no clothing. Angel and Buffy walked over to the pool and she dipped her toes in and shook her head no.
"Too cold." Buffy said and Angel smiled.
"Easiest way is just to jump in." Angel explained and he dived in and Buffy stood there. Angel resurfaced and swam to the side and lean up against it. "Come in," He suggested and Buffy sighed. "You can swim right?"
"Yes I can swim." Buffy answered and then she saw something on his back. "Tattoo?" She asked and he nodded. Buffy then took a seat and let her feet go into the water and that just perfect for her. "You think Connor would like to swim?" Buffy asked as Angel put his back against the wall and put his arms out so the laid on the concrete.
"Maybe," Angel said as he relaxed and Buffy looked around seeing the people lounging about being carefree. Buffy liked how the water felt. The thing about Vegas it was hot year round so while it was February it felt more like July. "He's going to be a year next month isn't he?" Angel asked.
"Don't remind me." Buffy said she couldn't believe it. "My son will be one, he's old." Angel smiled. "My baby's growing up too fast." Angel thought she was a great mom.
"Any ideas of big birthday bash for him?" Angel asked and Buffy shrugged.
"Probably a get together with a cake." Buffy answered and Angel nodded. "You'll be invited by the way." Angel smiled.
"Well I am just the babysitter." Angel said and Buffy smiled.
"He likes you." Buffy commented as she looked off enjoying herself. Angel then came off the wall and swam in front of Buffy. "What?"
"You got your feet in so," Angel meant he wanted her in the pool.
"I'm like a fish; I need time to get use to the settings of the fish tank." Buffy argued her point and Angel smiled but she's seen a smile like that before. It was a playful yet seductive smile and Angel swam a little closer to her. "Angel if you do what I think you're about to do I swear," Buffy started but Angel was already making it in for the final kill. "Angel no, no," She protested but there would be no way to dodge a retired Marine and Angel reached out and pulled her in. She let out one quick scream and then they were submerged under water for a second. Angel then went to the surface with Buffy. "Jerk!" Buffy said but not without smiling and Angel laughed.
She stayed close to him as he had his arms wrapped around her. They were really close and Angel knew he should let go. She wasn't ready and he respected her to understand that she didn't want a man well not now at least. He picked up that the last man she was with did some major damage to her and the only good from it was Connor. At least Connor wouldn't grow up to be a jerk like his father because he had a kind, caring and loving mother.
Buffy knew she needed to put some space between them. They were for all intensive purposes naked in a pool. But she felt more than safe in his arms. He was warm too. Buffy wasn't going to deny it she was falling for him. Could you accidently fall in love with someone? She liked him more than she will admit but Angelus was still in the shadows of her mind. But Angel could protect her right? But if she did surrender to her feelings how would he react to the truth? She knew how, he'd leave and she would understand too. Who would want to be with the ex-wife of the most ruthless mob boss?
The two parted slightly knowing they both overstepped some kind of line. It was a little awkward as they pulled apart.
"Sorry," Angel apologized quickly.
"It's ok," Buffy assured him as they were still in the water. She really wanted to take advantage of this but right now it couldn't be. Angel could tell something was on her mind though.
"What?" He asked and Buffy shrugged.
"I knew I should have gone with the whole piece bathing suit." Buffy answered.
"Buffy," Angel started and she looked to him. "Can I say something just out of being a friend?" Angel asked and she nodded. "You're hot ok." Buffy smiled and couldn't fight the blushing. "I mean it you are and for having a baby, you're even hotter. You're a very beautiful, strong, smart woman and any one that gets to know you is lucky. And any man that gets to be with you is even luckier." That was very touching and she smiled, she had to smile that made her feel so good.
"Thank you Angel." She said and he nodded. Then quickly without him noticing she splashed water in his face. "That's for getting me into the pool."
"Oh we're going to play that game?" Angel asked and she quickly went to swim away but it was too late and they were in a splashing fight.
Buffy was combing her hair as Angel came out of the bathroom. Angel watched her comb her hair.
"Looks like it hurts," Angel commented.
"No idea, my hair and pool water doesn't mix." Buffy said and Angel smiled as he sat at the edge of his bed as Buffy was finishing. Angel turned on the TV and flipped through some channels as Buffy got up to set aside her brush. She came back and her eyes were glued to the TV because there was someone it.
'"Angelus O'Reilly had his first sentencing hearing today," The reporter started.' Buffy watched it seeing him walking on TV. '"He will be charged with first degree homicide on forty accounts, second degree murder on twenty five accounts, conspiracy to commit murder on five accounts, also his counts to rape, fraud and theft are still being counted up."' Buffy slowly sat down on the bed and in all honesty she didn't want to see this. '"All these charges are brought on by an anonymous that named him the leader of the Callaghan O'Reilly Mafia leader. Some say it shouldn't be enough to convict him but enough victims and their families are stepping out and praising this person for speaking up."' Angel looked over to Buffy as she watched the TV intently. "The name of the person who identified Angelus as the boss has been sealed in order to protect them and their family. While most people of New York are very happy this crime lord had been brought to justice some feel that Angelus should stay free.
"He's our Godfather; it's somewhat like the last piece of history." One woman said.
"Angelus is one hell of a mob boss and it helps that he's hot." Another woman added.'
Buffy couldn't help be disgusted about the comments those girls made. '"His sentencing hearing date for the murders are set for May, his rape charges will be brought up on a separate date with a projected date of June and his fraud and theft will be set sometime around August. But by the time those chargers are read Angelus could be facing multiple life sentencings that those charges won't even matter." The reported stated.
"It's a good day for New York as we put this mob to rest. We're currently perusing those in his circle and hopefully the Callaghan O'Reilly Mafia will be nothing but a memory." A cop said.'
Angel then turned to Buffy as she was watching the TV. She did her best to stay together. She then turned to Angel and had no clue what to say.
"Yeah, big mafia." Buffy said.
"You knew about the whole thing?" Angel asked.
"Just parts actually I went to one of his parties," Buffy said and then realized she shouldn't have said that. She's been to more than one of his parties in fact she's hosted two or three.
"Ever see him?" Angel asked and Buffy shrugged.
"Glimpsed," Buffy lied but she couldn't tell Angel her secret. That anonymous person was her; it was her records that were sealed. "He is somewhat a legacy like his father and so on and so forth but he's killed more people than anyone and he's like what thirty?" Buffy played it off but she knew all the information. In fact she gave a video tape of her testimony and it would play at the murder trial. "Angel," Buffy started and looked to him. "How well do you know the justice system?" She asked and he thought about it.
"I'm a cop remember?" Angel asked.
"He has like a hundred accounts stacked against him what are the chances of him slipping though?" Buffy asked.
"Well not all the charges will go through depends on the evidence but enough will go through. Also this anonymous person which sounds like he or she is under Witness Protection as long as they stay protected and can be ready to testify if needed then he'll never see the light of day."
"What about appeals?" Buffy asked. "I mean look at OJ Simpson,"
"Buffy," Angel stopped her and got up and went to her bed and sat down. "First Angelus is in New York and you're not so why are you worried?" Angel asked and she sighed, she needed get a hold of herself and fast. But there was one thing she could say.
"I knew someone he raped and," That was a true statement. Angel then reached out and embraced her and figured that was another reason to leave New York other than a jerk boyfriend. Buffy let him hold her, it was comforting.
"You're always safe with me." Angel stated and Buffy nodded, she believed it. She didn't want him to pull away but he did. "Is that why you left New York?" He asked and she nodded. Part of it was true.
"Also California has some of the best schools." Buffy added and Angel looked at her. She was dying for him to kiss her, it would help but to kiss him while Angelus was on the TV, why did that feel so wrong?
"I'll turn it off." Angel said and got up reaching for the remote to change it. Buffy looked to the screen seeing her ex there walking with that cocky smile. Angel switched the channel seeing if there was something else to watch.
Las Vegas was a new experience for Buffy and she had fun. Angel got a little beat up but he caught the bad guy. Buffy was back home with Connor and he was napping when there was a knock at the door. She went to open it and froze.
"Told you I would find you." And he held up a gun.
Buffy woke up and rolled over and saw the clock. It was four in the morning. She then saw Angel asleep in the other bed peacefully. And on the nightstand by his side was his gun ready to shoot. That gave her some comfort but now she felt the want to go home. But she had the head of the S.W.A.T. team with her not mention he's a sniper. Buffy sat up and was in a cold sweat. She tossed the covers aside and went to the bathroom and rinsed her face off and looked in the mirror. She left the bathroom and looked for her phone and left the room. She dialed a number and waited.
"This is Sweets," A groggy voice answered.
"Sweets this is Eli…Buffy," Buffy said.
"Oh hey what's up?" He asked waking up.
"I know it's a little early for you but I really just need some advice." Buffy said.
"What can I do?" Sweets asked.
"I saw a news report on Angelus and god I close my eyes he's right next to me." Buffy stated. "I know he can't,"
"Buffy listen this fear ok to feel and you won't get rid of right away. He has made threats to your life; it's going to take some to let it pass. I think after he's charged and when his first appeals falls through then that fear will start to fade." Sweets said and Buffy nodded holding back the tears. "Just remember you're safe ok." Buffy nodded.
The trip to Vegas was done. Angel was able to bag the killer and it was because Buffy with her charm and beauty got him into the underground. Of course Buffy racked up a few dollars in some of the casinos. She was happy to be home and back to her regular job but she wasn't going to lie she liked being Angel's engaged to be engaged fiancée. Buffy was now at the Bronze with Willow and Cordelia talking. It first started with Cordelia talking about the wedding to asking Buffy about her past. Buffy gave snippets, just enough she just left out the details of being married to Angelus.
The girls were talking when Xander joined in with Anya. Oz was up on stage playing his last song before the DJ came in. Buffy was really enjoying herself but since returning Angel has been on her mind. Especially that night in hotel room when he held her even if it was for a moment, that was the first time she's felt safe in a long time. The DJ music came on and more people went to the dance floor. Xander and Anya headed to the dance floor and now it was time for Willow and Cordelia to drill Buffy.
"So," Cordelia started and Buffy looked up. "Did you sleep with Angel?"
"Way to ease into that one." Buffy commented and Willow smiled.
"Did you?" Willow asked. "And if so details."
"No I did not." Buffy answered and both had a sad face. "I did dream about him last night though." And then the two perked up. "A vivid dream too."
"Like you could feel his lips and smell his hair?" Willow asked a little bit dreamily.
"It had surround sound." Buffy added and Cordelia smiled even bigger.
"You two are so right for one another." Willow stated.
"Except I have a son and I'm a single mom, I can't be with him." Buffy said and that crushed Cordelia and Willow.
"Oh please," Cordelia started. "I think that's why Angel likes you even more because you have kid, shows how mature you are." Buffy thought about it. "You better grab him while you can because Buffy that is some salty goodness."
"Yeah every girl in high school wanted him." Willow added.
"Thanks," Buffy deadpanned.
"Thanks what?" Spike asked as he walked over to the table.
"Nothing." Buffy answered.
"Nothing?" Cordelia asked. "Spike does Angel have the hots for Buffy?"
"Even a blind man can see that." Spike answered the question. "Buffy I would take him soon before you both go bats." And then Spike went into the crowds to see if he could pick up some girl.
"Seriously guys stop playing match maker." Buffy insisted and the two girls scoffed.
"We just want what's best for you." Cordelia stated and Buffy nodded slowly. "Plus the waiting is killing me."
"Oh no," Buffy had a monotone. "Wouldn't want that?" Cordelia rolled her eyes and sipped her drink.
"We're just saying Buffy, that you and Angel," Willow started.
"Ok look," Buffy started. "I like Angel as a friend ok, he's smart, he's funny…he's…really…really…hot anyways," She had to snap herself out of it. "That's not the point the point is when I'm ready then I'll put myself on the market."
"But you do like him?" Cordelia asked.
"Yes." Buffy answered.
"Buffy just admit it you want to date him." Cordelia stated bluntly and Buffy sat there for a moment.
"Ok I do, ok happy?" Buffy asked and Cordelia smiled and then Willow looked up and saw Angel coming into the Bronze.
"And I supposed what would you tell him?" Willow asked as Angel looked for them.
"I would say Angel, I think you are one the hottest men I've ever seen and I'm crazy and going crazy for you. Please let's date, heck let's get married." Buffy was just letting it out and felt rather good. Willow smiled.
"Good because he's coming this way." Willow stated and Buffy turned around and saw him making his way over.
"Nope, can't do it, can't, I'm sick, brain sick." Buffy ranted.
"Hey guys," Angel greeted them.
"Hi," Buffy squeaked out and then grabbed her drink and sipped it. Angel could tell they were talking about something and knew it would be wise not ask. Angel pulled up a seat next Buffy and set his beer down and she smiled at him 'Act normal, god Buffy act normal.' She begged herself. To get off the subject of Angel Cordelia started a new topic well new from what has been talked about in the last few minutes. The topic went back to the wedding.
While the conversion went on at some point Angel and Buffy zoned out and they were somewhat gazing at each other, it wasn't a continuous gaze but they would lock eyes once in a while.
"Hey," Xander snapped his fingers breaking their gaze and they didn't realize how long they were gazing at one another. "Let's go dance," Xander suggested and everyone cleared the table. Buffy got up and Angel followed. Angel knew how to dance so they joined up. They felt a little bit more alone at the moment. Buffy's heart was racing and hoped Angel couldn't hear it. Should she give in?
Hope I satisfied some your need for Buffy and Angel fluff but they still aren't together. Should they get together? Also got some future chapters typed up. Should I give you sneak peak? I should? Are you sure? Ok.
'Angel walked over to her and slowly got to both knees and placed both hands on the bed on either side of Buffy.
"You're something special to me Buffy." Angel said and she looked up. "You and Connor." Buffy shook her head as if she was disagreeing.
"Are you going to be something I regret?" Buffy asked. "Because if you are then I can't I won't do that again." Buffy made the terms clear and Angel didn't move for a moment. Then to show her that he wasn't going to be something she would regret he leaned in and kissed her.'
Oooo, gets you wondering what that will be all about huh? So mean for giving you a taste but you asked for it.
Anyways more to come, any ideas what's to come. Oh and all you Bones fans you picked up on the Booth and Brennan moment. Comments and reviews are welcomed.
