Chap 5
Angel stood in the shadows of his mansion watching the burning red sun set in the perfectly clear sky. As the last few minutes of daylight began to fade, Angel turned from his view point and made his way to the door, reaching for his duster and slipping it over his shoulders as he walked.
The night was cold, yet Angel no longer felt the temperature, he dug his hands further into the pockets of his duster and trudged onwards towards The Bronze.
'Shit I'm going to be late.What a surprise.' Buffy sighed, bringing her stake down hard on the vampire that lay out on the grass before her. She turned on her heel, leaving the dust to vanish into the air and made her way to Angel.
She stepped into the dimly lit club and edged towards the bar in a hope to find her date. HER date. Angel was her date. She smiled to herself as she thought about him, still shocked that she was actually going on a date with him.
"What are you smiling at?" A deep voice asked quizzically.
"Nothing." She turned looking up at the owner, Angel. He smiled down at her as she smiled back, trying to read her expressions.
"Where do you want to go then?" He shrugged stepping back to allow her to move out of the queue for the bar.
"Anywhere." She answered dreamily. She would literally follow him to the ends of the earth and back if he wanted her to. She looked him up and down and took in how gorgeous he looked so close up.
Angel made a move to the door, Buffy followed unable to take her gaze away from him. 'Keep calm..' Angel thought to himself. He felt as if his whole body was going to implode.
They reached outside and the cold air instantly hit the both of them. Angel instinctively took a right turn aiming for the town park, Buffy was close at his side.
"Angel."
"Yeah?" He kept up the pace, not daring to look at her for fear of drowning in her eyes.
"Tell me about you." Buffy asked, realising she hardly knew anything about him.
"Well, I'm." *Shit I can't tell her I'm a Vampire, what can I do for a living? What am I good at? * "..An artist." He answered, thanking the heavens that he was actually good at something.
"Any brothers or sisters?" Buffy probed for more information.
"No.You?" Angel thought back to when he did have a sister, before he killed her anyways.
"Nope" Buffy smiled, shivering in the cold.
Angel noticed her shiver. "You look cold." He looked her up and down suddenly taking into account how beautiful she really was. "I would give you my coat but I think you might drown in it." He chuckled. Instead he placed his arm around her pulling her small body towards his, not even thinking that his body wasn't even warm.
"Thanks." She felt his cool body against hers and somehow felt warmer than she had ever done before; a sudden rush of safety engulfed her body.
They walked and talked for hours as if they had known each other for years, both of their secrets remained quiet from the other, for fear of what might happen. Buffy looked down at her watch.
"Crap! I was supposed to be home at 11!" Her clock now read 11:30.
"Come on, I'll walk you." Angel said.
Buffy folded her arms across her chest and took up pace with him, wishing that it was still only 8pm. She dropped her hands at her side, sighing, why did it have to end.
Angel slipped his hand into hers and looking down at her as he stopped in front of her house. He squeezed it reassuringly and brushed a piece of hair away from her face and placed it neatly behind her ear. He stroked her smooth skin with his thumb and smiled. Their eyes met, both searching for the others next reaction. Buffy stepped in closer, so close Angel could feel the heat from her body. Angel's head dipped as he bent into kiss her, his lips inches away from hers when..
"BUFFY ANNE SUMMERS! Get inside now!" Buffy heard her mothers shout from the doorway.
Angel stopped his move and leant his forehead against hers, their noses almost touching. "I think you got to go." He gave her his rare half smile.
"Sorry." She whispered. "I'll see you soon." Buffy was reluctant to let go.
She stepped away from him slowly and made her way up the pathway, turning slightly to see him still stood there, watching her petite figure disappear into the house.
Angel walked for a while longer before he went back to the mansion. Is he insane! He was a vampire, a very powerful vampire once and he was falling for this small blonde girl. HUMAN girl. He knew he wouldn't be able to keep his secret hidden long but yet he was filled with the desire to be with her constantly, be by her side and protect her.
"Hi peaches." Spike fell in stride with the elder vamp.
"Get away from me Spike." Angel growled low.
"I saw you with the blonde bit. A vampire's instincts are good, I knew you fancied a piece of her." Spike growled in return.
"I do not fancy a piece of her." Angel picked up speed eager to get rid of the little whelp.
"Doesn't look like that from where I was stood." Spike scoffed. "I could smell it Angel, the attraction was strong." Spike's eyes glinted with malice. He loved to wind his sire up, especially when it involved girls.
"Step away Spike or I will break every bone in your body." Angel stopped and glared down at the blonde.
Although Spike loved taunting the vamp, he knew he wasn't much of a match for Angel. "She's human angel, you can't have her." He trailed off, falling back into the darkness he had just stepped from.
