Chap 2
Angel dragged Spike out into the alley, away from The Bronze.
"Wah?" Spike groaned, opening his eyes as his head continued to thump loudly in his ears. He stood slowly, casting a glance at Angel stood next to him.
"Hey there peaches." Spike smirked, straightening up and shifting his duster on his back so it fell correctly.
"Spike." Angel replied, taking a fighting stance.
Spike lunged at Angel catching his fist on the right side of Angel's face, cutting a gash across his eyebrow and bruising his cheek bone. Angel reeled back, wiping the blood that drizzled down his face and glaring up at Spike. Spike just laughed.
The laughter was soon gone. Angel stood and punched hard, aiming for Spike's chest, feeling Spike's bones crack under the pressure. Angel stepped back, as Spike doubled over in pain and spun quickly, kicking high, clipping Spike across the head with the tip of his boot. Angel watched as Spike groaned from the floor.
"What is wrong with you? Can't a demon have a little fun around here?" Spike's voice was muffled as he lay on his stomach.
"No" Angel bent over and pinned Spike down, laying his arm across the back of Spike's neck, restricting the movement.
"You fancied a bit of the blonde did you, o celibate one?" Spike grinned.
"No." Angel simply replied.
"One word answers is it now?" Spike taunted.
Angel stood up and turned away. "Your not worth it." He spat. Spike watched as the tall, brooding figure swaggered into the distance.
Buffy returned to Willow and Oz with her well-earned drink. She had stood for 15 minutes before being served and that was only because she threatened a bitch that tried to push in front of her.
"What happened over there?" Willow instantly expressed her concern. "We saw this guy dragging another away from you."
"No big. Just some prick trying to hit on me. This other guy - well he kinda helped me out." Buffy answered, her mind drifting back to the tall dark mysterious stranger that had confronted the blonde dick head.
"You mean that tall handsome, mysterious, handsome guy I spotted earlier" Cordelia butted in.
"I think you said handsome way to much in that sentence honey." Xander pulled his girl closer to him, aware of the obvious competition.
"Um, yeah that would be the one." Buffy smiled in their direction.
A few days had passed and Buffy was just finishing her patrol. "Come on little vampires, where are you hiding." She called out quietly as she paced down a small alleyway. A dark figure approached. She watched as he approached her, instantly recognising him from the previous evening as the guy who saved her from the jerk.
"Hey there." Buffy smiled just as he reached her.
"Hey" He gruffly answered slowing down his pace as he approached.
"Thank you for the other night. You know, saving me from the Jerk with the bleached hair - and what the hell happened to you face?." Buffy grinned
"Um, oh yeah, sure don't worry about it. My face? Oh that, just a fight don't worry about it" Angel thought back to the night and looked down at the small blonde stood in front of him. There she was again, her perfect hazel eyes pieced into his own, her blonde hair shone in the moonlight. Her skin was as smooth as silk. Suddenly Angel was filled with the desire to kiss her, take her in his arms and keep her forever 'Shut up! You don't even know her name!' Angel yelled within.
"What are you doing around at this late hour?" Buffy asked with curiosity. 'What was his name again? Angel was it?' she thought to herself.
"Just walking, what about you, streets aren't a good place to be at this time of night. Sorry, I didn't quite catch your name the last time we met." Angel anticipated the answer.
"Buffy" She smiled. 'O crap! Its like 12:00 what am I supposed to tell him? O yea I'm a vampire slayer and yeah they are real and right now I'm on my way home from a patrol. OH PLEASE! As if he'll believe me - more like YOUR INSANE!!' Buffy thought for an answer. "I'm on my way back from a friends" She answered.
"Want me to walk you back?" Angel asked, praying she would say yes.
"Angel right?" Buffy confirmed his name. "Well if you want to, yeah ok." She rejoiced quietly. 'What am I doing! I don't even know the guy! Oh well he's as cute as hell' Buffy ignored her conscience. Suddenly she felt it again. That strange feeling that crept up inside her, haunting her senses, signalling a demon was close. She cast her eyes upward and to the side, searching for the place where her feelings came from.
"What's up?" Angel watched her, as her eyes darted around the darkened alley.
"Nothing." She covered. The demon would have to wait.
"Here we are" Buffy smiled, as they finally reached the Summers household. Angel stood a few inches away, so close Buffy couldn't stand it.
"Well, I'll see you around?" Angel gave his trademark half smile, dying to bend down and kiss her.
"Um, yeah I guess." Buffy smiled, unsure of her next move.
An uncomfortable silence soon followed. Buffy looked down at her feet, intent on keeping her eyes away from his, for fear of falling into the deep dark orbs. 'Aint that a cute bug, look at it go...Angel's staring at me...don't think about Angel...'
Angel watched Buffy, her every move fascinated him. He continued to watch when he suddenly realised he was staring.
"Well I-I'd better go" Angel remarked, making a move to leave.
"Thanks again." Buffy smiled up at him.
"Maybe I'll see you around sometime." Angel turned and headed off into the darkness.
Buffy watched the black clad figure leave, wanting to shout out at him, wanting him to stay longer with her but she hardly knew him, how could she even imagine to be attracted to such an unknown stranger?..
