Part 2 - Moving on?

"I always knew she was a little, you know, not right in the head"

I open my eyes and see Jules snickering face, oh what a beautiful sight to open my eyes to.

"Btich" My voice is croaky and I feel something warm trickle down my face.

"She's back, oh great."

Jack pushes something on my head and I wince in pain, I look around and I realise I'm back in the cafe and everyone is standing around looking at me. I can see by the looks on some of their faces they think I'm on some sort of drug. Judgemental bastards.

"An ambulance is coming Anne, what happened?"

To my surprise Jack actually sounds concerned, in other circumstances I probably would have pointed that fact out and never let him live it down, but the pain in my head is too much to be a bitch.

"Are you okay Miss? Was it something I did?"

The man that I had mistaken for.....Angel, pushes past Jack and looks at my head worringly. I smile reassuringly at him and I notice that his eyes are the most beautiful blue that I have ever seen. He catches me staring at him and I look away embarrassed, he smiles at me and introduces himself.

"Hi I'm Daniel, its nice to meet you Anne, although I wish it were under different circumstances." He smiles sheepishly and I feel my heart weaken at the sight of him. I haven't felt this way about anybody in a long time. Ever since Angel died I never dreamed of ever having feelings for someone else, but looking at Daniels face makes me want to do things with him that Angel and I never got to do....because of the curse...because I killed him.

I break out of my reviere when I realise that Daniel is still talking to me.

"So would you like to?"

His look is hopeful and I'm guessing he wants to go out sometime. My heart is screaming NO HE IS NOT ANGEL but my head is saying COME ONE GIVE THE GUY A CHANCE, ANGEL IS GONE and then I hear
"Sure, okay." come out of my mouth.

"How about wednesday night? Meet you at Vee club around 7?"

I smile and nod my head dumbly, I can't believe it, I have a date....with a guy...a guy who isn't Angel. I think I'm finally moving on but a little voice whispers inside my head.

'You'll never be over him'

But I ignore it because for the first time in about three years I'm actually happy.
