I know Angel's a bit goofy in this, but hey it's the way I think he should be!

Chapter 2

If  You Love Me…Prove It!

 She stood frozen for a minute and then ran after Angel.

" What the hell do you mean that you love me!" Cordelia said as she caught up to him and grabbed him by the elbow and twirled him around.

" Exactly that…I love you." Angel looked into her eyes sincerely.

" You can't love me!"

" Why not!"

" You love her…you'll always love her and only her!"

" Who's her?"

" Don't make me answer that. You know."

" Why don't you ever say her name Cordy?"

" I don't like the name."

" The name or the person?"

"I don't mind the person…I just don't like saying her name ok?"

" What's wrong with her name?"

" It hurts you when I say it… and that hurts me."

" What?"

" I hate the fact that her stupid two syllable name can hurt you and make you brood for days… I don't like you brooding! It just hurts how big of an effect she can make on you. That you'd die for her or do anything for her and she doesn't seem to care. I mean how could anyone not appreciate you?" Angel stood quietly for a moment looking at her analysing her words. Only one thing came to his mind.

" Are you jealous?"

" What?!"

" You're jealous of Buffy aren't you?"

" I told you not to say that name!!!"

" Do you see me brooding? Look I'm all cheery… see you're wrong. Hahahaha!" Angel said mockingly trying to make this conversation a bit lighter…so he wouldn't feel as awkward as he was feeling now. Cordelia looked mortified.

" What the hell is wrong with you!"

" I'm just trying to be fun…"

" What funny!! Not really doin' so well at it!!"

" Cordelia…"

" Screw this Angel. If you can't be serious about this…the fact that you said you love me and are telling me to be with you. If this is all a joke to you... then forget about it!" Cordelia said as she turned to walk away.

" Cordy, wait! I'm serious…okay? Serious here… Just tell me who you want? Groo or me?"

" I can't make that choice now…I need time."

" Anything… but just tell me how I can make it me."

" I dunno, Angel." He looked at her for a moment.

" Do you love me?" She gave him a 'how dare you even ask me that' look.

" Of course!"

" Cordy…if you love me…if you want us to be together… then tell me how I can make you choose me."

" Angel… I don't know. I love you, but I love Groo too."

" How can you love him???" From her off look he continued.

" The guy's weird ok!!! Anyways…just tell me Cor, how can I be yours?"

" Angel…"

" Give me something to go on."

" Angel…"

" Just tell me dammit!"

" Fine."

" How?"

" You want me so bad, if you want me to choose you then show it to me. Show me how much you love me."

" How?" Angel repeated getting agitated.

" That's for you to figure out. I'm giving you a week." With that Cordelia turned on her heel and walked towards the door.

" Oh and forget training this afternoon, you're to busy drooling over me to even pay attention!" Angel looked at her with a small smile. Cordelia smiled back before leaving the room.

" One week Angel, make it good." She said from out of sight. Angel sighed… how was he going to let her choose him…how could he show her how much he loved her?
