A/N: As you may have noticed I know Willow and Tara stutter, but I'm not

type it out it looks stupid. So just pretend :)
Ch 7
"Drive me crazy"
Someone was going to die. A very painful, long death awaited him.
"Angel!" Buffy screamed. Before she had left to go to the mall she had two hundred dollars in her account, Now she had three thousand two hundred dollars in her account, and Angel was the only one she knew with that amount of money to spare.
Buffy wondered how he wanted to die, a dull stake or a sharp one.
"What's wrong Buffy?" A groggy just woke up Angel asked her.
"Please explain something to me." Buffy started. "I had like $200 in my account when I left, now for some unknown reason $3000 has magically made its was into my account. Want to explain to me how and why?"
Angel just looked at her, then shrugged and gave her a half smile. "Cordy, Wes, Gunn and Fred eat a lot?" was his weak answer.
"Try again."
damn this much fuss over a small amount as 3000. What was she going to do to his when she found out he paid most of her bills and her house payment . Just took a little help from Xander and Giles.
"I eat a lot?"
"Wrong." Buffy replied. She didn't need Angel's money.... She was looking for a job.
Angel knew what would make her forget. He took a few steps closer to her and gave her a small kiss.
She responded. Kissing him back.
"Not going to work." She told him between kisses.
"Probably not, might make my death less painful" he joked, but still eyed the stake on the counter.
She stopped kissing him, and pulled back.
"I don't need your money Angel. I can get a job." She told him.
"You already have a full time job Buffy. You have two of them."
"Well slaying don't pay for shit, and I don't get any help from our father, and when I do I give part of it to Dawn. I do have to keep food in the fringe, people do come over to make sure I can take care of my sister."
"Well now you won't have to worry about it as much."
"I don't need your money." She told him again, she could already feel tears starting in her eyes.
"Buffy. Your not my charity case, you work, you have a hard life. I love you and don't want to see you suffer where it can be helped."
Buffy just looked at him...tears coming to her eyes. 'Not again.' She thought to herself. Angel took her into his arms, letting her cry out her frustrations. Whispering soft words to her, stroking her hair.
"Don't worry about it Buffy." He tried to calm her, but only made her cry harder.
"Hello, anyone home?" Cordys voice rang through the house.
"There here." Buffy told him, her eyes red and puffy from crying.
"I'll go take care of them, you go clean up." He told her giving her a kiss on her nose before turning to the front of the house.
Buffy went upstairs and washed her face and reapplied more make-up. After running a brush through her hair she headed back downstairs.
Angel was trying his best to keep them occupied until buffy returned. Hugging both Fred and Cordy, giving them the full story of why he left.
"Willow called." He told them. "After a few weeks Buffy was still having a hard time, and thought I could help."
"Have you helped?" Cordy asked. "Or is this going to be a 'I love you but I can't be with you. because' type thing. You can't say the curse anymore."
"I don't know what's going to happen Cordy." Angel told her.
"How long are you staying?" Asked Fred.
"I don't know, as long as Buffy needs me."
"Well he'll never be coming back to L.A., except when Buffy dies." Cordy told them.
"Cordy." Angel said.
"Hi Guys!" Buffy said as she cheerfully entered the room. She gave both Cordy and Wesley a hug.
"Hi, I'm Gunn." A tall black man told her. "I have herd a lot about you, and so far its all true."
"Hi!" Buffy replied, a slight blush on her face.
"I'm Fred." The other girl told her. "I have herd a lot about you, mostly from Cordy and Wesley."
"Hey." Buffy replied smiling at her.
"Where's everyone else?" Cordy asked, wanting to see how everyone else was doing, well at least Xander.
"Xander is helping Anya at the Magic Box, Dawn is over at a friends house, and I don't remember where Willow and Tara are."
"Who's Tara? And Anya?"
"Tara is Willows girlfriend, and Anya is Xander's. You remember that one girl from high school." Buffy told her.
"Oh yeah." Cordy replied. "She was cool, but weird."
"Yeah, that's her the ex-vengeance demon."
"Who will patrol for you?"
"Spike said he would."
"Spike?"
"Yep."
"When did he turn good?" She asked.
"He has a chip in his head, he can't hurt humans."
"Oh."

"Oh my god." Gunn laughed. "This is just too good."
"I forgot to put on my lip liner, the world is going to end!" Xander mimicked Cordelia.
Everyone laughed, except Anya, Buffy and Cordelia, who were still putting on makeup and fixing there hair.
"I did not say that." Cordelia replied, as she applied her lipstick.
"No, you said 'Shit I forgot my lip liner' as you dug through your bag" Gunn told her.
"There right Cordy." Angel agreed.
"Are you guys ready yet?" Wesley asked, looking at the three girls.
"I am." Buffy replied, everyone's gaze went to her. She wore a pair of tight lather pants, and a white tank top under a black gossy shirt. Her hair was left down, she had scrunched it up and added some ringlets to it.
"Good." Wesley told her as he cleared his throat.
"Damn." Gunn said under his breath. He always new Buffy was good looking, but he never thought he'd see her like this, she'd stayed back most of the time she was getting ready.
Angel just watched Buffy, this was nothing too new, he'd seen her in stuff like this just the night before and other stuff when she was younger. Her tank top showed just enough cleavage, it didn't look trashy. And the shirt over it gave her more cover, yet showed the same amount. Her shirt almost made it to the tops of her low riding leather pants, but the tank top stopped at her belly button. He gasped slowly back up her body, until he met her gaze, giving her a reassuring smile.
"Close your mouth Angel." Cordy snapped at him, even though it wasn't open. "You two are practically have sex with each other with your eyes."
Buffy turned a bright red, and went into the kitchen.
"Cordy." Angel gave her a warning, as he got up to find Buffy. Walking into the kictieon, she was sitting on the counter drinking a glass of water.
"You look wonderful." He told her giving he a small smile. She didn't say anything, but was watching him.
"Buffy."
She didn't say anything, but gave him a little smile. He walked up in frount of her, Surprised when she wrapped her arms around his neck, and barring her back in the cool skin of his neck. He felt her smile against him as he wrapped his own arms around her.
"I love you." She told him.
"I love you too." He told her. Angel couldn't help but wonder where this was going, where him and Buffy stood. Where they back together, did she want him to stay? He knew he would stay this time, or at least stay with her. He trusted no one else to protect her, and although it was no ones fault she had died, or had came back from heaven. He couldn't leave her again.
"Were all ready." Tara told them as she peeked her head into the room. Buff lifted her head up off of Angel and looked at her friend.
"Okay Tara." Buffy replied as she hopped off the counter into Angels arms, then followed him out of the room.
"Drive me crazy"
