Author's Notes: No, No, and NO! I'm not trying to copy Wravyn's story 'Just Another Friday Night'. Twister just happens to be one of my favorite games to play along with the other games mentioned in this story! So, don't sue me! By the way check out her story. It's *SO AWESOME*!
********************************************************************
"Isn't it a beautiful day?"
Cordelia looked out onto the courtyard of the Hyperion through the double doors that hid her from the breathtaking scenery. It was indeed a beautiful day. The sun was shinning brightly, spilling its rays over the earth like an oversized blanket. The birds were singing a soft tune that soothed and brought peace to the inner soul. The flowers were colorfully blossomed, surrounding the fountain in the center of the courtyard. She turned back to everyone seeing if they even paid attention.
As usual…they didn't.
Angel sat in his office profoundly occupied with reading a book. Fred furiously typed on the computer with Gunn watching over her shoulder observing her diligence. Faith and Wesley sparred in the lobby, mostly *bickering* then training. Cordelia rolled her eyes and turned back to watch the outside.
How could anyone be inside when it was such a gorgeous day out? Except for Angel, he was kinda stuck indoors either way.
She chuckled to herself as she opened the double doors and stepped out onto the courtyard. She smiled up at the sun letting its rays pour over her.
"Wow! I bet nothing could ever ruin this day. It's so perfect." As if on cue, all of a sudden that beautiful sun was soon hidden behind dark gray clouds and that bright blue sky soon was transformed into pitch-blackness. Then as a streak light lit up the sky and at the sound of a bang, rain began to fall like *Niagara Falls*.
"AH…NO…I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!" Cordelia screamed and cursed at the sky for ruining her beautiful day, as she got soaked from head to toe. Angel and gang ran to see what the screaming was and found a very drenched Cordelia standing outside looking at the sky. Thankfully the sun wasn't out as Angel ran out to get her. Fred ran to go get some towels.
"What the hell were you doing Cordy?" he scolded her as he brought her inside. They both sat down on the round sofa in the lobby when Fred came back with some towels to wrap around them. Cordelia again let out a scream that startled the gang.
"What the fuck's your problem C?" spoke the very annoyed slayer.
"For your information *F*, this was one of the nicest days we've had in a *very* long time and now we're stuck in here for who knows how long." Cordelia let out a frustrated sigh. She hated being cooped up in the hotel, especially with Faith. She really got on her nerves. She didn't even know why she was here. Since she was released from her *home* everybody just welcomed her back with open arms like nothing happened.
Especially Wesley.
And now she had to spend a whole day looking at her face because Mother Nature was having a P.M.S moment.
Screw Mother Nature.
The onetime Plyean's alarmed voice broke Cordelia from her thoughts.
"Um…guys? I'm checking the weather forecast for the day on the Net and it seems that we're being hit by a tropical hurricane."
"What?"
"Yup…I guess since we're pretty close to the coast, us and all the coast line cities are getting hit by the storm. It says that this is just the beginning of the storm. We're going to get hit by winds that are at least 90 to 120 miles per hour and water that is at least 3 feet high. It's going to be pretty bad. They've warned people to stay indoors for the rest of the day and night. Sorry ya'll, but it looks like we're stuck here, at least till tomorrow." Everybody groaned and Fred offered them an apologetic look.
It was going to be a long day.
"I don't even want to think about it. I'm going to go change." Cordelia headed to one of the rooms, she normally stayed in when she was at the hotel, but remembered she had taken all her clothes out to get them cleaned.
God, what was wrong with this day?
"Dammit."
"What's wrong?" asked a concerned Angel.
"I took all my clothes from the room I stayed in to be cleaned."
"You can borrow some of my clothes..." offered Faith. She was weird sometimes. First she's a mean bitch then she's a nice bitch.
Cordelia never really got her.
"Thanks but no thanks…I don't wear clothes from 'Sluts R Us'." Wesley laughed at the cruel joke and Faith sent him a glare. He shut his mouth quickly.
Boy, did she have a hold on him.
Wes was such a pussy for slayers.
"Suit yourself. Besides…'wet dog' looks good on you." Cordelia was ready to jump her when Angel caught her by the waist. His cold skin mixed with the wetness from the rain sent shivers down her back. She had never minded his touch before but there was just something about the way he held her that made her stiffen. Angel felt her tense up and gently let her go.
"Cordy calm down…you can borrow some of my clothes." Angel wrapped the towel tighter around Cordelia rubbing her arms to keep her warm as they left for his room.
*************************
Cordelia sat on the edge of Angel's bed. She fingered the silk material of the sheets. They were a deep blood red color. Red was her favorite color and if there was one color he liked at all besides black, it was red.
Coincidence much?
She continued to look at the bed. It was nicely made with several throw pills that were the same color as the sheets and black, of course. She eyed the rest of the room. It looked pretty much the same, but there was something different.
"Did you find what you needed?" Cordelia shook her head of her thoughts. She had been daydreaming again.
"Huh…oh…um no I'll look for them…now." She looked at the figure before her. Angel stood there with just his pants on and *no* shirt. His hair was still wet from the rain, which made it stand straight up. He was gorgeous. From the outlining of his perfect squared jaw to the framing of his love handles that led to his…
Whoa Chase…naughty thoughts…naughty thoughts!
Cordelia shook her head, once again, from her guttered mind. When did she start thinking thoughts like that? This was her boss and best friend for goodness sakes. But she did have to admit he was a very attractive man…pire.
"Cordy…you ok?"
"Yeah I'm cool. Just…thinking." Angel raised an eyebrow and gave her a skeptical look.
"OK…well, I have some clothes in the closest over there so pick what you want. I'm going to go find my shirt from in the laundry room. I know it's around here somewhere…" Angel continued to mumble about his misplaced shirt as he left. Cordelia chuckled to herself as she walked to his closest.
What a dork.
She looked through all his things and as usual they were all *black*. She decided to wear one of his smaller black shirts with a pair of boxer shorts. She removed her drenched clothes and hung them over Angel's bathtub. She put the clothes on and looked down at herself. She looked like a retard but it would have to do.
Angel walked back into the room as she pulled the black shirt over her head, getting a glimpse of her tanned bare back. Cordelia noticed his staring gaze and smiled inwardly.
"Hey! Did you find your shirt?" Angel gave himself a mental smack has he heard Cordelia's voice.
"Huh…oh…yeah I found it. Lets go, the others are probably wondering what happened to us."
"Yeah…hey…I don't look like a rag doll do I?" Angel chuckled.
"No…you look beautiful." Cordelia smiled. She had never thought that Angel ever found her attractive. And to say that she looked beautiful looking like this? She wondered what he thought of her when she looked at least half way decent. Cordelia followed him back to the lobby where the others were.
"What the hell took you guys so long?" asked a very annoyed Gunn.
"We're bored out of or minds here. We need somethin to do."
"Hey Cordy, so you choose to go with the 'Salvation Army' instead?" sneered Faith.
"Shut up Faith."
"Ok guys…it looks like we're going to be stuck here for a while so we might as well do something to keep our minds occupied." Angel was really getting annoyed with Cordy and Faith's taunting.
"So what do you suggest?" asked Wesley. Angel shrugged. It seemed no one had any ideas so they all sat around thinking of something to do.
~10 minutes later~
"Fuck this. I can't think of one damn thing to do."
"Wow Faith, you were actually thinking this whole time? So that was the smoke I saw coming out of your ears." Gunn and Wesley laughed.
"That's it!" Faith pounced from her seat and jumped Cordelia.
"AH!" Cordelia closed her eyes, screamed and waited for Faith to throw the first punch, but nothing came. She peeked through one of her eyes and saw that Angel had caught Faith's hand before she could hit her. Angel growled and pulled Faith off of Cordelia.
"Look! I know this is hard but if I hear another sarcastic bitch from either one of you again..."Angel didn't have to finish his sentence because they knew he was serious. Angelus or no Angelus he was still harmful when annoyed. Faith sat back down next to Wesley on the lobby sofa and crossed her arms. Angel helped Cordelia from off the floor.
"Now…so what do we do?"
"How about a game?" asked Fred excitedly jumping out from Gunn's arms.
"Yeah…that's a good idea. We can play 'Twister'." Cordelia spoke with high sarcasm in her voice and rolled her eyes. But Fred took her seriously.
"Yeah! That sounds good."
"What? No! I was kidding Fred."
"I think it sounds like a good idea," said Gunn defending his girlfriend. Fred turned back to him and smiled appreciatively. She turned back to Angel.
"Do you have that game? I've never played it before."
"What you've never played it before? Oh see…now we've got to play it dog?" Gunn said excitedly. Everyone looked at him.
"See…that's what I mean when I say I was cool before I met ya'll." Fred gave him a kiss on the cheek and smiled at him and he smiled back. He always loved her smiles. Fred turned back to Angel.
"Well?"
"Yeah I think I have that game." Angel left again for his room in search for the game.
"I am so not playing that fucking game," bitched Faith. She was a slayer not a high school student. She slayed vampires and demons, she didn't play petty childish games.
"That's ok you can spin the little spinner thing." Angel had descended from his room carrying the game.
"I found it."
"Oh yea! Just like high school." Cordelia rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe she was doing this. Oh well, at least it was something to do.
Angel and Gunn spread the mat onto the floor and Wesley read the instructions.
"Um…it says here that we can only have 2 to 4 players…"
"Oh well…it looks like I can't play then…" said Cordelia walking away when Angel grabbed her writ.
"Oh no you don't…we'll be just fine with 5 players. The more the better." Cordelia sighed.
Dammit, almost.
"But…" "Just read the damn instructions Wesley," yelled Gunn.
"Alright… well it says…you must remove your shoes and stand on either sides of the mat." Cordelia and Fred stood on the red side and Angel, Gunn and Wesley stood opposite of them. Wesley continued to read.
"Then when the spinner is spun by the referee, Faith, follow the instructions. Be careful not to loose your balance because the first person to fall is out. You continue to play until there is only one person remaining and, of course, he or she is the winner." Wesley placed the instructions on the floor. Fred was so excited she began to jump up and down.
"Oh my god, this is going to be so much fun. Getting tangled up in each other trying not to fall…" Angel and Cordelia looked at each other. Faith started to laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" asked Cordelia through gritted teeth
"You guys…getting tangled…up in each other…it's like a teen…orgy party…" Everyone rolled their eyes and Fred scratched her head.
"Orgy party…?" Cordelia closed her eyes and held up her hand.
"Don't *even* ask…Lets get just start please." Faith spun the arrow.
"Left foot green." Everyone stuck their foot on the nearest green circle. Faith spun it again.
"Left hand red." Cordelia was facing Angel so to get to the red circle she did a backbend. Boy, did them cheerleading and gymnastic exercises come in handy. Fred looked wide-eyed at her friend.
"Wow Cordy! I didn't know you could bend like that."
"Yeah well I took cheerleading and gymnastics for all my 4 years of high school so…but can we continue? All the blood is rushing to my head." Faith laughed as she spun the arrow again.
"Right foot yellow"
And again.
"Right hand green."
And again.
"Left foot blue."
"OW! My arm hurts," cried Fred.
"Yeah well your ass is in my face…and what a nice one it is," said Gunn smacking her butt. Wesley and Angel laughed and Fred blushed.
"Stop that!"
"Gunn your out," cried Faith.
"What?"
"Yeah, if you move any part of your body from the circle your on your out."
"That wasn't in the rules." Faith picked up the rules and looked them over.
"Yeah it is. It just looks like Wes missed that part." Gunn looked at him and Wesley let out a nervous laugh. Gunn smacked him making him fall.
"Wes is out too."
"That's not bloody fair."
"Quit being a baby."
"I'm not a baby…you're just being a sore loser."
"Am not."
"Am too."
"OK…Mr. and Mrs. Pryce," screamed Cordelia from her very awkward position. She was bent over with Angel behind her like…well you get the picture.
"Can we hurry…I'm not liking this position." She felt something hard behind her. Was that what she thought it was? Was Angel *hard*? He was getting his jollies off of being behind her. What was going on it that mind of his? Cordelia inwardly shuddered.
Gross.
Her heart began to race as he placed his head on her back.
Ok Cordy…calm down…its just Angel.
But that was just it. It was Angel. *Angel*. Not Wesley or Gunn or even some bum on the street. It was Angel. She felt her throat become dry and her heart was beating rapidly. Faith's voice brought her back from her thoughts.
"I don't know C…It looks like a nice position to me." Faith cocked her head to the side and smirked.
"Shut up Faith and just spin the damn thing." Faith spun the arrow again.
"Right hand red" Cordelia moved to get the closest red circle to her but Angel bumped into her on his way to the same circle and they both hit the floor.
Great.
"Your both out. Looks like Fred won." Faith smiled as she watched the two on the floor. Fred again jumped up and down.
"I won and it was my first time playing. Yippee! I won…I won…I won!"
"Shut up Fred…Angel, get off your killing me." Cordelia never really realized how much Angel really weighed until he was on top of her. He weighed a lot. Must be all that muscle.
Goddamn…*sigh*…all that muscle.
"Sorry Cordy."
"Yeah, yeah…just help me up." Angel held out his hand for her and pulled Cordelia to her feet.
"So what do we do now?"
"How about 'Spin the Bottle'?" asked still a very excited Fred.
