Chapter 6

Explanations

" Oh my god…he punched you!"  Cordelia asked Groo as she examined his black eye.

" Yes Princess…I don't know why."

" Did you say something to piss him off?"

" All I said was that cows do not make their own choices."

" Cows? Why'd he get all pissed off over that…all they do is milk… wait…WHAT!!!! Cows…as in women. You told him that I couldn't make my own choices!!!"

" Yes Princess. That is my duty now."

" What the hell????" Cordelia exclaimed as she jumped of the couch and started pacing.

" Did I say something wrong?"

" Yes!!! You were going all possessive and old fashioned on me. And…you called me a cow!!! I told you that we are not cows…we are h-u-m-a-n-s."

" I am sorry Princess. I will make it up to you with com-shuck."

" Whoa…com-shuck my ass!!! You are sleeping on the couch!!!!"

" Princess I-I…"

" The princess thing I can live with…but calling me a cow…that's a whole different thing!!!"

" Princess I do not understand."

" Groo…listen. I can make my own choices, all right. You aren't my owner…you're my boyfriend. Ok? Boyfriends love…they don't rule. "

" B-but…" Something seemed to click in Cordelia's mind. Did Groo really love her?

" Do you love me Groo?"

" Yes Princess…very much."

" Are you sure?"

" Yes."

" Show me." The words slipped her mouth.

" Oh shit…not again…" Cordelia swore to herself.

" I do not understand." Cordelia stood trying to understand herself. Hmmm…if they do all the work it'll be easy for me to choose. Two guys bidding for my love…not that bad of an idea…as long as they don't kill each other. That way she would also find out who truly loves her.

" Yes Groo. I want you to show me you love me. I don't want you to rule me…you have to be loving…not commanding…get it?"

" No." Cordelia sighed. This was going to take a while.

~*~*~*~

" Oh Cordy's gonna be so pissed off with me when she finds out I clocked Groo." Angel said as he paced the lobby. Fred sat near the reception desk holding Connor and listening to him. He had just told her about the whole thing with Groo

" Why did you do it?"

" He was just really…ahhhhh you know?" Fred giggled as Angel did a hand gesture indicating to choke Groo.

"  There must have been another reason. You just wouldn't…"

" He tried to be like Cordy's decision maker…I don't know…he just really made me wanna kill him. Going on 'bout how Cordy was his and I could never have her…"

" Ah." Fred said silently.

" And he said I didn't deserve her because I loved another woman."

" Oh Angel…"

" He was right though. That bastard was actually right. Everyone can only have one person that they love."

" Cordelia loves both Groo and you."

" Yeah…but soon she's going to have only one person she loves."

" But you can still love Buffy and you'll have Cordy. So you know…you have the person you love as well as…"

" That's the thing… how can I be with one loved one and also love another? That's not love…wait. That's it! If I want to show Cordy I love her… she has to be the only person I can love." Angel exclaimed causing Connor to jump up from his sleep. Fred soothed him, until he fell asleep and then continued.

" Lost me somewhere in the middle."  She responded. Angel thought a while and then turned to Fred.

" Fred, we all love people in a different way. But, we can only love one person…one person from the depths of our soul…one person who we intend to share the rest of our life with."

" Oh…I get it now. So now you have to make a choice too."

" What choice?" Angel asked looking at her confused.

" Which one's the one you love…with all your heart."

" Between Buffy or Cordy?"

" Yeah."

" Oh."

" How are you gonna decide on that?"

" I don't have to."

" Why?" Fred said confused.

" I already know."
