Caitlin came back from the bathroom, already wearing her pajama's and her
hair was wrapped up in a towel. She plopped down on the couch next to him,
wrapping her arms around him and resting her head on his shoulder.
"Hey are you done reading already?"
"Uh Caitlin I got to tell you something."
"What is it?" I asked. 'Uh'oh he's serious and something tells me I'm not gonna like it.' He unwrapped himself from me and took a seat in the chair a cross from me.
"It hurts me to say this and I don't wanna hurt your feelings but...'
"But what?" Now I really was distressed. What was so hard for him to tell me? Oh god he's gonna break up with me.
"I've been thinking about you and me and I realized that you're not the one I want to spent the rest of my life with."
"Why? It was going great between us........ wait a minute.... is there someone else?" The look on his face said enough. "You love someone else."
He looked sadly at me. "I'm sorry, I do"
I was stunned. He loved another woman. Only one question popped in my mind. "Who is she? Do I know her?"
"I..."
"No I want to know. Please tell me."
"Buffy, Buffy Summers"
"Buffy? You love Buffy? How's that possible? You haven't even met her." He loved Buffy Summers?
"I did"
"When?"
"We met when she was still in her sophomore year at Sunnydale High. It was love at first sight. We loved each other so much that we... that we would die for each other. But I broke up with her at the end of her senior year because some huge things stood between us."
By now tears were running down my cheeks. I saw the happy smile on his face while he was telling me about her. He never had smiled like that to me. God how I hated Buffy Summers now, he was so wrapped up in his memories of her, that he forgot that I was even in the room. Suddenly another thought came in my mind.
I never had really had him. How could I have been so blind? It is so obvious that he's still madly in love with her. Stupid stupid stupid stupid!!
"Caitlin are you alright?" Oh so he had come back to earth and remembered that I was here. He put his hand over mine.
"Don't touch me! How dare you?" I was letting all my , by now, bottled rage out.
"Caitlin honey."
"Don't call me honey! You selfish bastard! You used me! You just needed someone to fill the lonelyness and your male needs!"
"No it isn't like that!! I love you but..."
I got up. "But you love her more. But why, if you love her so much, did you start a relationship with me?"
"Because she moved on and I tried also."
Suddenly I knew why he was breaking up with me. "It's that song isn't it? 'Angel' tells about you and her. And in the song she said that even though she moved on, she still thinks of you."
He simply nodded.
I sunk down on the couch again. "You said there were some huge things that stood between you from being together. So what changes?"
"Those huge things are long gone. But before now I thought she didn't love me anymore, because she got a new bofriend. So I tried to move on also ."
"But now she gave you a signal and you decided to fight for her."
"Yes and I'm sorry that you are the one who gets hurt in the process. I never should have started a new relationship with you, I'm so sorry. I hope you'll find someone who won't hurt you." He got up and walked to the door. He got his duster and put it on. "You can keep the apartment. I'll get my things when you're at work tomorrow." He opened the door and turned to her. "Goodbye Caitlin. Be happy." He turned around and closed the door.
Caitlin stared at the door. "Goodbye Angel. I hope she wants you back."
"Hey are you done reading already?"
"Uh Caitlin I got to tell you something."
"What is it?" I asked. 'Uh'oh he's serious and something tells me I'm not gonna like it.' He unwrapped himself from me and took a seat in the chair a cross from me.
