"Come on now!" Spike sat in his blacked-out Desoto in the driver's
seat. He's been sitting there for the past twenty minutes trying to make
the engine run. After all the attempts, the cars just managed to let out a
purr but not even bother to move an inch. Full with anger, Spike vamped
out, letting his demon-shape take form. He raised him arm and punched his
fist into the air conditioning vent.
"Bloody hell!" He pulled his hand out and watched the blood drip onto his pants. Due to his vampire strength, the wound healed in an instant. Spike decided to give it one more try. " Work, you blasted piece of cr-" suddenly the engine began to work. "Hmm," A smirk on his face turned into an evil grin. "Nancy boy and his slayer bitch is gonna get a visit from their old pal Spike." He drove off.
~ Back in LA~
Gunn and Wesley both walked into the main room. From the other end of the lobby, they watched Angel in the distance.
"Dang, Who's that chick?" Gunn whispered to Wesley. As he looked at the blonde girl talking to Angel. He thought that she was really cute. He had to admit of Fred and he weren't an item he would be all over that girl at this very moment.
"Ah," Wesley let out a confused sigh. "Honestly I really don't know," He answered his question, as he squinted his eye hoping to get a better view of the blonde woman that caught Angel's attention immediately the moment she walked into the building. Wesley rocked back and forth trying to see the face of the girl. He sort of resembled a penguin that was getting ready to jump into the icy cold water. "If I were to take a wild guess, that girl, she looks a lot like…"
"B-Buffy," Angel shifted nervously, " What are you doing here?" Angel crossed his arms. He really didn't know why she was there. He didn't know if she just came by to visit or if there was an emergency. Now he began to panic. What if there was an emergency? He thought for a moment. What if someone got injured? Willow? Xander. Oh my god, Dawn. He shook off the thought and asked the same question. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, it was nice seeing you also," Buffy said sarcastically.
Gunn watched in surprise from the other end of the room. "I-Is that…?" Gunn asked, unable to complete the full question.
"Buffy?" Wesley completed his question with a nod. "Ah yes, that is the infamous slayer."
"Cool," Gunn remark taking a step closer in the direction in which Buffy and Angel stood. But before he could been seen, Wesley grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled back were he couldn't be seen.
"I suggest we should leave then two alone," Wesley commented taking his grip off of Gunn's shoulder. "The have a lot of catching up to do."
"Right," Gunn to a step back.
And with that, they both grabbed their jackets and exited the hotel's back exit.
"I'm sorry. Its just…you…uh…I. This is so…unexpected," Angel scratched his head. He was confused himself. He and Buffy have been away for quite a while, and well, things change…in a while. He couldn't even make a list of things that have changed. Oh my god, Connor. Angel remembered his son, and how Buffy didn't even know about him. What will she think? Angel crossed his arms to prevent himself from falling over from too much stress. Okay, I'll just play this one out, and maybe she won't even find out.
"Yeah, I know," Buffy admitted as she walked down the steps of the main entrance an onto the lobby floor. She looked around the huge hotel. Wow, she thought. How can he afford all of this? She walked around the lobby. "Um…Are you busy?"
" Actually," Angel walked into Wesley's office. " Wesley and Gunn are…" He looked around the empty office, "…not here at the moment." He looked around the room making sure they weren't hiding under the desk or behind the door. He saw the full cup of coffee sitting on the desk. He steam was still rising from the tip of the mug. They were here a few minutes ago. He let out a sigh of un-needed breath. Great just what I need, alone time, with my ex. He paced back into the lobby, " Not to be rude, but What are you doing here?"
"Angel," Buffy took a step closer towards him. She never looked so anxious or afraid at the same time. She looked as if she was tired or needed something. She looked incomplete. " I need to ask you a favor."
~ Somewhere in LA ~ a few hours later
" You have to admit, you had fun," Cordelia sat in the driver's seat of Angel's convertible. Her short blonde hair was blowing in the wind as she drove past the streets of LA. The few of the Los Angeles building looked much better from a convertible, especially with the top-down.
"Yea," Fred murmured as she sat in the passenger seat right next to Cordelia's. She shifted around in her seat trying to look out of the convertible, but unable to do so, because of the ton of shopping bags surrounding her, in which most of the bags belonging to Cordelia. She pushed the shopping bags on her lap onto the floor by her feet. Better my feet then my lap. Fred though as the view of the city lights finally came to view.
" I think we should be heading back," Cordelia made a right turn. In less than five minutes the hotel cam be seen in the distance.
"We're here!" Cordelia parked the car in front of the hotel. She was right, they just got there right in time for the sunset. She stepped out of the car and grabbed her purse and most of her shopping bags. With her hands full of item, she couldn't reach the rest of her shopping loot.
" Let me get those," Fred giggled and grabbed the rest of the shopping bags sitting on the bag of the car. Because Cordelia's hands were full, Fred opened that door of the hotel, allowing Cordelia to get inside first.
"Thanks," Cordelia said as she stepped inside, "Angel! We're back. Like what I just said, In time too!" She stepped down the stairs and looked around the empty lobby. "Angel?"
" Hey Cordy," Angel walked out of Wesley's office. " I see you had a lot of shopping," Angel commented, rocking back and forth nervously.
" Well yea, sale at Robinson's May isn't just something that I can leave in the open," She said jokingly. She looked up at him. Instantly she new something was wrong, "Angel, what's wrong? You seem a little uneasy." She brought her arms down, still holding onto her shopping bags.
"You promise not to freak out or anything?"
" Don't give me a reason to," Cordelia protested, as she lifted her arms once more bringing her hands full of shopping bags back up to where they once were.
"Someone came by to pay a visit…"
"Oh? Who?" Cordelia smiles and looked around the lobby. Her face lit up with anticipation.
" Hey Cordy!" Buffy walked out of Wesley's office and waved a Cordelia.
Cordelia turned around. She dropped all of her shopping bags in shock and disbelief. This is so not what I expected.
"Bloody hell!" He pulled his hand out and watched the blood drip onto his pants. Due to his vampire strength, the wound healed in an instant. Spike decided to give it one more try. " Work, you blasted piece of cr-" suddenly the engine began to work. "Hmm," A smirk on his face turned into an evil grin.
