Authors note: Sorry it's been a long time guys, but I seem to be struggling
a bit with the story line of this one! Ahh! Anyway thanks for the reviews
and keep them coming! Chuck some ideas in them if you have any, you never
know it might appear in this story!!
Here goes.
Chap 9
So we're talking. As in moving lips and sound coming out to produce noises that the other human can understand. Although he isn't really human is he. But still he speaks my lingo, the language of love.
Did I just think that? I did didn't I! I am such a freak.
He smiles at me and I almost pass out. Do you know that feeling where all you can see is this perfect smile, shining at you like a star? I have that feeling, like right now.
"What?" He asks, I watch his lips form the words and wonder how he does it. How he manages to just talk and make my whole body feel like jelly at the same time.
"Nothing" I answer dreamily. "I have to go." His smile disappears and I squirm in protest. "Why?"
"Well generally, vampire's avoid sunlight due to the turning into dust rule." I look down. I am suppose to be the Slayer god damn it!
"Ok well goodbye." Here comes that dreaded awkward moment where you do no whether or not to shake hands or hug or even just to wave. Is he leaning towards me? Or is that just how he is? Mr lop-sided-man.
I feel his arms come up around my back and with them they bring shivers of nervousness, pleasure and somehow a barrier of safety that washes over me and instantly relaxes me.
Is he smelling my hair? Is that smelling of the hair going on?
He lets go of me and I find myself craving for more. God damn it, now I'm an Angel addict! I take one last look in his eyes and smiles again before disappearing into the night.
I sigh and slip back indoors. I have a physics test today and I haven't slept all night. Strange how I feel very refreshed and happy though. He should come here more often.

"Hey" What?
I turn and peer into the darkness to my left and saw Riley walking towards me from behind a nearby tree.
"Hi." I replied, refusing to look him in the eye.
"I know." Again, What?
"Know what?"
"Know your little secret." Oh crap. Please don't let it be the one with Angel.
"Involving the vampire." For god's sake give me a break!
"What do you know exactly?"
"That you went after him by yourself and he injured you." I am so glad he just said that.
"Oh right, that." And how is that a secret?
"I know you haven't told Giles about him slayer and you don't have to go after him just because of me."
"Get over yourself!" I can't believe he just said that!
"But don't worry I can handle myself and I will personally see to it that Angel dies for what he did to you."
Was Angel and die in the same sentence then? Cause if it is I'm gonna -
"No riley. This is my kill, just back off." This is the only way I am going to be able to help Angel.
"Buffy he hurt you, you can't take it on your own."
"Riley, don't question me. I will take this one, get back to your little army and go play soldier boy."
Oh shit. I really had to say that didn't I. Me and my big fat mouth.
"Little army?" He is seething with anger now. "That little army, has put its butt on the line for you many times and this is how you re-pay us."
"Oh so you expect me to repay you do you? And I can get along quite well without you. I managed before you came didn't I."
I can see he wants to hit me. His face has turned red and all his muscles have tensed up, his hands balled into fists.
"Go on then hit me, if you think you can take me." I step up to him, my face glaring up at him.
With a growl he turns and walks away shouting back at me: "He's all yours Buffy but just remember I won't be there to help when he sucks you dry."
Men are so ignorant and annoying and don't you just want to kick them in the balls sometimes?
I sense a vampire approach and without even thinking I knock him down to the ground.
"Hey watch it!" A deep voice answers.
I just hit Angel didn't I. Damn.
"Sorry!" I help him off the ground.
"I see your feeling better and are one hell of an angry slayer." He wipes his nose with the back of his hand.
"Just Riley."
"Oh so he's still walking then?" He smiles at me and instantly my anger dissolves to nothing.
"Unfortunately yes, and he's on a rampage to kill you. Luckily I persuaded him that I would do it."
"Thank god, I thought I'd have to embarrass him by pinning him against the wall before he even lifts a finger again. At least against you, I'm pretty much guaranteed a decent fight."
I smile at this. He knows that I won't fight him, well not to the death anyway.
"So how have you been?" I ask, starting to walk deeper into the cemetery.
"Fine." He smiles and I lean in slightly so my body is as close as possible to his without us touching. He's still looking at me with those dark eyes and I'm finding it increasingly harder to not look back. Soon I give in and find myself staring up at him, lost in the deep abyss of his aged eyes.
Skin against Skin. Such a wonderful feeling, that I also happen to be experiencing now. His hand has caught mine as we walk and now our fingers are intertwined, one warm palm against a cold one. I wish we could stay this way forever but even I know that as soon as the sun rises, I have to leave the calming warmth that is Angel and return to the cold harsh world outside.
Here goes.
