Chap 13
Angel watched her retreating back and sighed. His love was walking away from him and all he could do was watch. He took a step towards the doorway and stopped himself. It was daylight outside there was no way he would catch her now. He began to pace the room, waiting for darkness to creep in so he could leave his prison and see his girl.
His girl.
But was she his girl? Although they both admitted love, friends are what they had always been deemed to be. Slayer and a Vampire in love was unimaginable. Angel's brow furrowed as he thought about it, he thought so deep he didn't hear Spike enter.
"Peaches is in love." Spike drawled, a smiled appeared on his face.
Angel turned quick suddenly aware of the demon "Get out." He shrugged, casting a threatening look at the blonde.
Spike raised his eyebrows "Threatening me are you now sire." He bowed low.
"Don't start that sarcastic crap with me." Angel growled not in the mood to talk to Spike.
"You no it's doomed Angel" Spike suddenly took a more serious tone. "As much as I would like you dead, sometimes you amuse me with your constant depressions and broodiness. Gives me a sort of high just watching you as I realise the utter happiness I feel compared to you." Spike walked closer to his sire.
"You know Spike, why haven't I killed you." Angel's fists clenched.
"Because I'm all you've got." Spike grinned.
Angel made a move to hit Spike, but stopped himself just short of his face. "Your not all I've got. I'd rather talk to the cockroaches than you." Angel pushed the vampire.
"Ah yes but we all know that you've already experienced that as well as the numerous rats that you disgraced yourself to eat." Spike wallowed in his enjoyment. "If you love her that much Angel, why don't you take her? Make her eternally yours." Spike trailed off, a golden glint in his eyes.
"Never." Angel shook his head. "I'd never damn her to a life like this." This time Angel allowed his fist to connect with Spike's face. "Now get out." He walked away towards his favourite chair and picked his book back up to continue his reading.
Spike stood slowly from the floor and made a move to leave "You'll never be just friends." He whispered, sending echoes throughout the large room.
Buffy walked as fast as she could towards Giles' house. She had to get this fixed; she couldn't bare not to have her watcher there to support her. Even she realised how much she really needed him by her side.
"Giles?" She walked in as she normally did and called out to him.
Giles looked up from his settee. "Is there anything wrong?" He asked politely.
"No. Its just - "
"Well then get out." Giles looked down at the newspaper he had been pretending to read.
"I'm not leaving until we've sorted this out." Buffy crossed her arms defiantly.
"You've already made your intentions clear Buffy, I'm leaving it to your decision."
This provoked the Slayer more, as she felt her rage build. "Why can't I have a normal life Giles? Why can't a fall in love with whom ever I wish?" She raised her voice, praying her tears would stay hidden.
"But you are not normal Buffy and Angel isn't a normal person to fall in love with. He is a vampire, an enemy, a foe." Giles removed his glasses and stood to face his slayer.
"I know that! But I can't help it. I've tried so hard Giles but it's impossible." The tears broke their promises and left their hidden place.
"Like I've already said to you Buffy, it's your choice. I will go along with what ever you decided." Giles knew that she would keep Angel alive and there was no stopping her even if he did order her to kill him. He had no choice but to ignore the vampire ever existed and pray that nothing would happen that would suddenly make this vamp evil.
"I-I needs to think." Buffy answered, her voice thick with tears. She turned and left Giles; her whole body pulsated with decisions. Should she keep him alive? Or should she kill the demon that had already brought so much help to Sunnydale?
Buffy didn't know how long she had walked for nor had she noticed the rain, pouring steadily down upon her. Darkness had set in and Buffy began to shiver as the cold wind blew angrily at her sodden body and clothes.
"Hey." A tall dark figure fell in stride with her. "Your so cold." His voice sounded with worry.
"Hey." She muttered, looking up and noticing Angel stood beside her. "I can't do it. I can't possibly kill you." Tears sprung anew in her eyes.
Angel pulled her in to him and led her away from the angry storm that threatened them both. They entered his mansion, leaving wet puddles upon his stone flooring.
"We can't be friends." Her voice muttered almost silently in the quiet of his home.
"What?" Alarm bells rang in the vampires head.
"I love you too much Angel, I can't just be friends." Buffy stepped closer to him.
"I know." Angel felt relief flow over him as he hugged her tight to his body. For a minute he feared that she was going to leave him forever, something that he defiantly wouldn't have been able to bare.
He planted a kiss upon her head and then lifted her face up to his, wiping away the tears from her face. He bent down and kissed her lightly, awaiting a reaction from her.
She couldn't stand it any longer. She reached up to him, wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling his head towards her to kiss him deep and passionately. Her hands began to roam freely around his body until she found the buttons of his shirt.
Angel mirrored her moves and slipped his hands under her loose top, revelling in the warmth of her skin.
Buffy's hands moved incredibly fast as she removed his shirt leaving his bare skin to her delight. She stopped kissing him and took a moment to enjoy the look of his tense, firm muscles, smoothing her hands slowly over them.
Angel watched her movements, enjoying the look in her face as she stared at his body. He scooped her up in his arms, receiving a squeal and made his way towards the sofa.
