"So.I've heard you've met Sunnydale's own personal hell bitch." Buffy told Angel from where she was sitting on the king-sized bed. The young man was laying on his back on the other side of the bed and his sister was sitting on a big armchair, her legs resting on the bed. The three of them had been chatting and relaxing for half an hour after the end of the argument, and they all enjoyed each other's presence.
"Excuse me?" he asked, snapping out of the intense staring he was doing. Buffy was oblivious to the fact that Angel hadn't rested his eyes on anything but her, but Kristin noticed it very much. She was really glad that his brother was interested in girls that way again. Ever since he was old enough to have sex, almost every date he had, had led to sleeping with the girl and forget about her the next day or so. Not that they minded anyway, the girls they used to frequent were more interested in getting into her hottie brother's pants than a life time commitment.
"Harmony. She has a few classes with us." She explained, amused by his disbelief. He tried to remember where he had heard that name for a minute, then he remembered.
"Ooooh...yeah. That blonde snob who tried to get me into a date in hell with her. How do you know about that?" He locked his gaze with hers, and she would have felt over if she hadn't been sitting. Her knees felt like jelly. He wasn't doing any better, the minute her big hazel eyes looked into his brown ones, he felt his insides melt. For a moment they were the two only people in the world, until Angel looked down, overwhelmed by those sudden feelings.
"Well, Harmony's one of the most popular girls at school, so she gets people's attention. Anyway I heard it from my friend Cordelia. She used to be Harmony's best friend, but when she started dating Xander...that would be my other best friend, the girls of her group excommunicated her...if I might say. However, Cordy's still miss popular at school, so she gets all of the gossips from anyone." Buffy explained, fingering the covers of the bed to keep her hands occupied instead of resting them on Angel's muscular chest, burying them in his hair, tracing the line of his lips...
"So...you're like one of the popular group of the school." Angel deduced, feeling a pang in his heart as he said it. He had vowed to himself that he would never fall for the most popular girl at school after what happened last year...
"Not really...everyone tend to refer to me as the freak." *Oh my god, was that relief that I just saw in his eyes?* "But I used to be a snobby self- centered popular cheerleader, you know? It stopped during my freshman year...I realized it wasn't the life I was meant for...and I got into troubles with the teachers...burnt down the gym in LA..." *Stop it! Stop it! How stupid am I telling him about that? He'll think I'm dangerous or something!*
Angel stared at her for a moment, he seemed annoyed by something. Just as Buffy was feeling ready to punch herself for sharing her troubled past, he turned at his sister, who had been quiet for a long time, enjoying seeing the two of them smiling and looking at each other while talking about their lives. "Does that mean I'm actually gonna have to FIGHT to be the student who causes the more troubles? Damn!" He exclaimed, sinking back into the pillows. Kristin couldn't help but laugh at that.
"Don't worry Buffy, my brother's just used to be the one destroying school material. I'm sure he's glad he has a little competition."
"Yeah, but it shouldn't be too hard." He responded, sighing.
"What's THAT supposed to mean?" Buffy asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
"Well, let's face it, you're a girl." He answered, grinning devilishly at her.
"Ouh...yeah, and getting into troubles at school is such a manly thing. Beware, you don't wanna mess with me." She told him sweetly.
"Maybe I do." He replied simply, with a half smile that made her heart skip a beat. She had no clue what it was supposed to mean exactly, but she didn't have time to think about it as Kristin interrupted their exchange.
"So Buffy, do you have a boyfriend?" she asked the blonde, but looking at her brother. He instantly seemed to be waiting for her answer with great interest. *I KNEW it, he totally has the hots for her!* she thought.
"You asked me that earlier already." Buffy replied, frowning.
"Yeah, but my brother wasn't there to hear your answer." She explained, smiling sweetly at Angel as he was giving her that don't-mess-with-my-love- life look. Yeah, as if she cared about that.
"Well, no, I don't have a boyfriend." Buffy eventually answered. Angel fought very hard not to show the huge joy he felt from her answer. Before Kristin had a chance to reply, someone knocked at the door.
"Yeah, come in." Kristin said, not moving. Mary opened the door, smiling warmly, and let Joyce enter the room.
"Buffy sweetie, I'm gonna go home. Do you want to come with me? Or you can stay a little more, it's up to you." Joyce told her daughter.
"Hum...I think I'll stay a bit longer." Buffy answered. She wasn't gonna see Angel until class on Monday, and she really wanted to make the moment last for as long as she could.
"Ok, I'll see you at home, not after 11."
"Bye mom."
"It was nice meeting you Kristin."
"Same here." The brunette replied with a smile. Joyce stepped out of the room, closing the door behind her, and went home after saying goodbye to Diane and Frank.
About an hour later, at 5 to 11, Buffy finally decided she should go home. They had talked about a lot of other things, Buffy and Angel staring at the other when he wasn't looking, which Kristin enjoyed immensely.
"Ok, I better go home, or mom will freak." Buffy stated, standing up.
"Where do you live?" Angel asked. He didn't want her to leave that early, but he hadn't much of a choice.
"Two blocks down the streets." Buffy answered with a smile.
"Well...do you mind if I walk with you? I'm gonna go back anyway." Angel suggested with a smile. Kristin looked at him in surprise, but he wasn't paying attention.
"Sure, if it's on your way." Buffy replied, hiding the sudden happiness she felt.
"Yeah, it is." They all went downstairs, and the Parkers came to say bye.
"I'm sorry again from what happened. I just wanted to say thanks for your comprehension." Angel told them softly.
"It was nothing. Don't forget, you're welcome here any time." Diane replied. Kristin then led Angel outside, waiting for Buffy to say thank you and goodnight to Diane and Frank.
"Angel?"
"Yeah?"
"You do realize Buffy's way home is the complete opposite of YOUR way home. Right?" she teased him.
"So?"
"So when you told her you would walk with her...what you really wanted was to spend more time with her. Alone." She stated, smiling wickedly.
"I just don't want her to get hurt. She could be attacked by a vampire or something." He defended himself.
"A VAMPIRE would attack her on her 2 minutes long way home, in the residential area of town...where no vampires hang around because they can't be invited anywhere? Sure!"
"What? I'm gonna hit the cemeteries for a little while after that. And it IS the way to the cemetery." He argued hopelessly. His sister always knew when he was interested in a girl, even when no one suspected anything.
"Huh, huh. And do you plan to include kisses in that scenario?" she asked innocently.
He sighed "I don't know...I'd love to, but...maybe she doesn't want to. Do you think she'd be upset?" He demanded, checking that Buffy was still talking with the couple.
"If I can give you a piece of advice, don't do it tonight."
"Why not?" He looked really disappointed and it saddened Kristin a little, but she wasn't sure he could stand Buffy's rejection. It was the first time he looked at a girl with such interest and he seemed really nervous to do anything. That was new for the guy who's used to have any girl he wants.
"We talked about boyfriends and stuff earlier tonight, and she said that she wasn't really looking for a boyfriend right now. Something to do with her complicated life or something. My advice is to wait until you know her better. Start becoming friends with her.close friends. Don't rush things, it takes time. Show her that you want her but not with kissing."
"But I'm good at kissing." He complained. Never in his years did he have to use a different method. He would usually hit a little on the girl and kiss her, and she'd do anything for him. Well, except than one time with THAT girl...would he ever be able to forget?
"Yeah, well start something new, I know you can do it." She reassured him as Buffy joined them.
