Chapter 50! Wow can you believe I'm at 50!
"What the hell are we listening to?" I asked inside the car. It was some really weird music.
"I don't know change it." Angel said.
"Don't bother we're at school." Dawn said.
Dawn got out of the car but me and Angel glanced at each other.
"Come on you guys." Dawn said through the window.
"We're coming." I grumbled getting out.
"Hey you guys." I smiled at the gang.
"You're late." Spike said in a fake hurt.
"Yes well somebody woke up late." Angel glanced at me.
"Hey you could have woke me up." I snapped back at him.
"Yes I could have." Angel sighed.
"Wow it's really hard getting out of habit isn't it?" I asked. Me and Angel were already sort of snapping at each other.
"Yeah I've noticed that too." Angel nodded. Everyone looked at us funny for a second. "I think I'm going to go." Angel said slowly and turned around.
"I'm umm I'm going with him." I said and ran to catch up with him.
"Ok what in the hell is their problem." Faith asked.
Dawn shrugged. "They've been acting weird lately."
Cordelia stood there silently. Everyone knew thather and Angelhad broken up. What over? They didn't know. All they knew was Cordelia didn't want to talk about it.
"What was that?" I asked walking next to Angel.
"I don't know!"
"I thought we agreed to act like 'normal'"
"We did." Angel said.
"Then what's your deal?"
"My deal?"
"Yeah you're the one that started it." I said
"oh yeah I did didn't I?"
I nodded my head.
"Well I'm just a bit nervous. I mean back at home I was all like oh it won't be that big of a deal but now that I actually see them..."
"It's a bigger deal than you thought." I finished his sentence for him.
He nodded. "Oh good we're on the same page then?"
I chuckled. "Yeah, but we'll have to do it sooner or later."
"I know." he groaned.
"Hey Angelus." someone called and walked over to us. "Heard about you and Cordy. So who was it?"
"Who was who?" Angel asked.
"The chick you cheated on Cordelia with?" the guy asked.
"Uhh nobody."
"Right..." the guy grinned "oh gotta go. See ya later." he waved goodbye.
"Oh great just what I need."Angel groaned. "People thinking I cheated on Cordelia...again. Do people just expect that of me?" Angel rambled on.
"Who was that?" I asked ignoring his question.
"Oh uh Chris Stern. He plays on the football team."
I nodded just as the bell rang for us to head to our first period class.
"Well I'll see you in P.E." I said and waved Angel goodbye. I would have kissed him but to be honest I was just as nervous as he was about people finding out. I know it probably isn't that big of a deal but I just don't know how people will react.
"See ya." Angel said and walked away.
Science went just as science usually went. Boring, but hey I survived as always. P.E. came round and I was actually excited for P.E. I got to see Angel. Never thought I'd be excited for P.E.
The girls came out a little late so I didn't get to sit on the bleachers next to Angel during Mr. Clarkson's lecture.
"Ok class I'm actually going let you pick your partners today. Since you were so good last time we were out. Now all we're going to do is run around the track two times then I'll let you do whatever."
We all sat there expecting a little longer speech than that. "Well go!" he said and we all got up quickly. I usually have trouble finding partners when we get to choose ourselves cause Amanda's always with this other girl that's more of her friend than I am and I'm always stuck with some jackass weirdo or something.I looked over and saw some girls around Angel. I walked over to him.
"Oh hey Buff. I thought you skipped. I didn't see you over there." he grinned. I shook my head at him.
"Come on." I chuckled. I could see the other girls glaring at me, but to be honest it made me feel real good to have Angel choose me over them.
"Angelus..." one of the girls whined. Angel turned around. "I thought you said you'd be with me?"
"sorry but I'm going to be with Buffy." Angel said and we jumped off the bleachers.
"You guys don't have to be together." Mr. Clarkson stopped us before we walked out the door.
"We know." Angel shrugged. Mr. Clarkson gave us a confused look as we walked out. So the rest of the morning went by pretty good. Lunch was alright. The gang all looked at us a little funny. We haven't fought at all. Which usually one of us is pissed by now. Cordelia didn't sit with us. I think she just needs a little time so that it won't be so awkward at the table with us. So basically the day went by good. Nobody really knew about me and Angel. People were a little suspicious though when neither me or Angel spilt or did anything to each other and how nice we were.
Ahh I'm going to be late. I groaned to myself in Miss Calender's room. I had to finish this computer thing I had to do and I bet Angel and Dawn are looking for me to go home already.
"Buffy there you are." Angel walked in the room.
"Oh hey Angelus." Miss Calender greeted Angel. He said hi to her and stood behind me. "What are you doing?" he asked leaning over my chair.
"I have to finish this letter thing." I answered. I felt Angel's hands playing with my hair.
Miss Calender was starring at what she was seeing. She knew me and Angel had a thing a while ago but didn't know it was still going on and she was wondering why Angel was showing affection for me freely in front of her.
"Hey Jenny you'll never guess what happend in class today-" Mr. Clarkson came walking in the room talking just like a schoolgirl "oh Buffy, Angelus you're here." he said.
"Hey Mr. Clarkson." Angel and I greeted."You about done?" Angel asked turning back to me.
"Yeah. Where's Dawn?" I asked.
"Oh she went to..uhh shit I forgot her name. Starts with an K" Angel started snapping his fingers trying to remember.
"Kristy?" I asked.
"Yeah that's it!"
I rolled my eyes at him.
"Hey she has a lot of people I have to remember here."
"Uh huh." I grinned at him walking over to the printer.
"Miss Calender I'm finished." I said handing her my paper I just printed.
"Thanks." she grinned. "See you tomrrow."
"Yeah bye." I felt Angel put his arm around my waist just as we walked out the door.
Mr. Clarkson looked at Miss Calender confused on what was going on. Miss Calender decided to fill him in on me and Angel. Teachers like to talk and gossip just as much as kids do I've figured out.
"So did you tell anybody?" Angel asked me later on at his house.
"No." I groaned. "I didn't know how! I mean what am I suppose to say. 'Hey you guys I'm dating Angel now' just out of nowhere!"
"I know. I didn't tell anybody either." Angel sat down on the couch next to me. "You want to go get ice-cream?" Angel asked. "Take our minds off of things?"
I shrugged "ok." I love ice-cream.
So the day went by pretty fast. At night me and Angel just went to bed telling each other that we would do something to tell people tomorrow. Now I know it was only like one night ago (not counting this one) that Imade lovewith Angel but I wanted to do it again. Was I wrong to think that? I couldn't help but wonder. Does Angel want to? If I know Angel right, of course he does, but my only thing is how do I tell him I want to do it again? I know this probably sounds stupid but I just don't know what to do. He's probably thinking since it was my first time he should wait. Which is really sweet but god do I want him to just act like he does with his other girlfriends. I always remember him whispering things in their ears, which I know he wasn't talking about the weather by the way they would turn red and giggle. I probably sound stupid wishing that he'd act like he would with his other girlfriends, but oh well. Oh god I'm probably turning into Anya! A sex addict and I've only done it once!I don't really care as long as I'm with Angel.
I woke up at normal time this morning thank god. I quickly took a shower and put on some jeans and a tan tank top that has some designs on it and I put a tan jacket over it.
"Come on Dawn." I heard Angel say from in the kitchen.
"No Angelus." Dawn whined back at him.
"Hey you guys what's going on?" I asked coming into the kitchen. Angel was standing next to Dawn.
"Angelus won't quit bugging me." Dawn muttered.
I looked over at Angel. "She was just telling me how nervous she was about a dance her boyfriend asked her to go to because she doesn't know how to dance and I told her I'd show her."
"Woah wait a minute. Boyfriend?" I asked "who?"
"Just a guy." Dawn said. I looked at Angel who gave me that look to just drop it.
"Dawn you don't know how to dance?" I asked surprised.
"Well I do except not the kind of dancing he knows how to do." Dawn sighed.
"What kind of dancing?" I asked.
Dawn sighed. "I don't know but something other than slow dancing, cause I can do that or just regular dancing, but it's that other stuff."
"Oh me and Angel can do other stuff!" I said excitedly.
"You can?" Dawn raised her eyebrows at us.
"Yeah." I nodded. "Angel you remember me and you going down in the basement and practicing dancing?" I laughed.
He chuckled and nodded.
"How do you guys know?" Dawn asked.
"Well my dance teacher showed me some stuffin ballet just for fun as a side and Angel didn't you say that guy in the restaurant you always went in showed you?"
Angel nodded.
"Well why don't you guys just show me then?" Dawn asked.
I looked at Angel.
"Well we haven't done it forever." Angel said.
"Oh come on." Dawn said.
I shrugged "ok."
I walked over to Angel and grabbed his hands.
Pretty soon me and Angel were dancing everywhere in the kitchen. I haven't danced forever but it seems like one of those things that just come back. I remember I use to love to dance with Angel. I just loved being in his arms. We use to laugh a lot when we danced too.
When we finally finished Dawn was looking at us. "Wow you guys are awesome! Can you show me what you guys did after school so I don't look like a total idiot at the dance."
"Sure." I smiled at her and looked back at Angel.
"Ahh Buffy your dancing skills have come in handy once again." he grinned. I smiled at him
"oh shit it's 7:45 already lets get going." I said going out the door.
"I would like to see you use your other dancing skills though." Angel smirked at me as we walked out to his car. Dawn looked at me confused.
"He likes to watch me stretch." I told Dawn who laughed.
"You like to watch my sister stretch Angelus?" Dawn asked him getting in the car.
Angel smiled. "Have you seen how far she can stretch?" I rolled my eyes at him. "Hey could come in handy." I heard him mutter. I slapped him across the chest playfully. I mean my sisters in the car!
"What exactly are you implying Angelus?" Dawn leaned up in front of the two seats. I saw Angel look at me smirking and Dawn looked at Angel then at me with a stupid grin on her face.
"I don't think he was implying anything Dawn." I said knowing Angel wasn't going to say anything. Angel chuckled and turned on the radio.
When we finally reached the school Dawn jumped out and hopped to our group. She stayed with us in the mornings every now and then.
"Hey you guys." everyone greeted everyone.
"Angelus I got a question for you." Spike said as soon as Angel got there. That usually means that they were talking about us before we actually got there and were so nosy that they had to just come right out and ask. "I asked Queen C and she wouldn't talk and I forgot to ask you yesterday."
"Yes?".Angel asked irritated it was taking Spike this long to spit it out.
"So who is it?" Spike asked
Angel groaned. "Nobody! I didn't cheat on Cordelia. If I had then wouldn't Cordelia have dumped me instead of me doing the dumping?"
"Ahh true." Spike nodded Everyone looked at Angel to explain further.
"Look you guys obviously he doesn't want to talk about it." Oz cut in. Angel gave Oz a silent thank you.
"So I heard you and Buffy got a dancin this morning." Xander smiled shaking a little to imitate dancing.
I rolled my eyes. "Dawn can't you leave some things at home?" Dawn just shrugged.
"Wow I'm surprised you're still alive. I mean you have to get pretty close in that kind of dancing." Spike laughed. "I would like to see you guys get close. Probably funny."
"Yeah..." Angel said slowly. "Buffy wanna go?" he asked turning to me.
"Sure." I shrugged and walked off with him. I felt Angel's arm go around my waist as we were walking off letting everyone else see.
"Woah ok what the hell was that?" Spike asked. "Did Angelus just put his arm around Buffy?"
Faith nodded slowly. "What's up with them. They have been acting strange."
Everyone just shrugged not letting themselves believe what they were seeing.
The day went by pretty fast. Me and Angel have done exactly what we said. Acted like normal and now there is a rumor going around on how nice we've been and that there may be a thing between us. Nobody really believing it but the rumor was still there. At lunch none of our friends said anything and I'm kind of glad not wanting them to know exactly yet but I'm pretty sure they'd know by the end of the day well unless they're that incredibly stupid.
It was the end of the day and I was standing at my locker grabbing my books. The bell had just rung so nobody had left yet. People were still roaming the halls.
"Hey Buff." Angel said coming up behind me.
"Angel." I smiled at him turning around.
"Anyone really know yet?"
I shook my head no. "They 'll figure it out on their own...hopefully." I smile
"So do you think it's true?" Faith asked the rest of the gang.
"Probably not I mean it's Buffy and Angelus right?" Xander asked
Spike shrugged. "They haven't fought for a while and they have been acting strange."
"Maybe they're just having sex." Anya suggested.
Xander burst out laughing and everyone else giggled. "That is something you'd expect from Angelus but not Buffy, and anyway I'm pretty sure Angelus wouldn't touch Buffy like that."
"There they are now." Faith pointed to me and Angel standing at my locker.
"Hey you guys." I said as they all approached me.
"Pretty nasty rumor goin around ya know." Spike grinned.
I glanced at Angel but looked back at Spike "What are you talking about?"
"You two." Faith chuckled. "Apparently you two are having a thing again."
"Again?" I raised my eyebrows and grinned over at Angel. That went unnoticed.
"Yeah I wish they'd bloody give it a rest." Spike sighed. "Oh but I did figure it out Angelus."
"Figure what out?" Angel asked
"who your honey was." Spike grinned
"Spike for the last time I didn't cheat on Cordelia!" Angel said irritated.
"right...but anyway it was Amanda wasn't it?" Spike smiled. "Yeah I got you there! It was Amanda." I guess they are that incredibly stupid.
"No it wasn't!" Angel said
"you did consider her once though. Remember telling me that Angel?" I looked at him.
"Yeah but you know I wouldn't even consider it now." Angel said to me.
"Ok if it wasn't Amanda then why the hell did you break up with Cordelia?" Xander asked.
"Yeah it is kind of weird, coming out of nowhere." Willow finally spoke up.
"Because I'm with someone else right now, but I didn't cheat on Cordelia. I waited until after I broke up with her." Angel said. Which was sort of true. He did break up with Cordelia but technically he did cheat on her. I mean wemade lovewhile they were still going out but hey he still broke up with her for me so it wasn't like he did with those other girls.
"So who is it?" Oz asked
"I don't exactly know if we're ready to say anything yet because believe me when I tell you it's not someone you would expect." Angel said "We just don't know how you'll react."
"oh come on just tell us." Xander said
"you'll find out in time." Angel said simply as we all left the school.
A/N: hey! Sorry it has taken me soooo very long to update. I've been busy and haven't really had a lot of time to write. Also like I've said before I've been having trouble since I'm thinking of this other story I want to do. I would write them both butI have a tendency to forget the one I was working on...meaning this one andI doubt you want that to happen. Ok so I promise that after this chapter everyone will figure it out. I just wanted you guys to have to wait a bit more...I am so terribly mean aren't I?Ok now I want to ask you guys somequestions that have been bothering me too. I don't know if they ever said these in the shows or not but I've always wondered and figured maybe somebody knows. Ok first off do vampires ever have to go to the bathroom? I mean they drink all that blood...and you know vampires and that whole blood thing? Well can they smell girls on that time of the month? I have no idea why I thought of these questions but their those kind that just keep diggin at ya and you don't know the answers! Ok so I won't waste your time anymore. Please review!
