Sorry, I didn't update in a long time, I was very busy!
Chap. 11
- Can I open my eyes, David?
- Not yet, Buffy.
Buffy: But I hear music, and… people are talking… So we must be in a restaurant, or maybe the Bronze.
Angelus: Close.
He took away his hands from Buffy's eyes. She looked around kind of shocked.
Buffy: A karaoke bar!!! You gotta be kidding me…
Angelus: No, I'm not. It's the perfect place to learn how to…
Buffy: -Sing. You know that's great an all, but I thought you'd teach me how to dance.
Angelus: Relax. This is the perfect place to practice. That's why I love it so much. Singing and dancing, plus; you can get something to eat.
Buffy (smiling): Well, maybe you're right. So, what are we doing first?
Angelus: How about a drink?
Buffy: I could use a refreshment, so…
Angelus: Then please hold on a sec, I'll go get some. In the meantime, why don't you go find us a nice table? Afterwards, we can go dancing.
Buffy: Okay, fine. But don't be too long.
Angelus: I will. -I mean; I will not… You know what I mean.
Buffy (smiling): I think I do.
He went to the bar and Buffy chose a nice table. Two people were singing together at the stage. Buffy looked at them, smiling. When Angelus, or David, came with the drinks, she was still looking at the couple.
Angelus: Buffy… are you all right?
Buffy: What? Oh, sure, it's just… I was just looking at those two. They are pretty good.
Angelus: Yes, they… I got an idea!
Buffy: What do you-
Angelus: -You!
Buffy: Me? Me what?
Angelus went over to the guys behind the stage and talked to them. They looked at Buffy and smiled.
Buffy: He wouldn't…
Angelus came back, and smiled at her.
Buffy: You *so* didn't do what I think you did, did you??? No, you wouldn't even think about-
Angelus: -I think I did what you thought I thought I did.
Buffy: No…it…
- Ladies and gentlemen, let's give our next performer, Buffy Summers, a big hand!!!
Buffy: (terrified) I can't...
Angelus: You can! If you want to learn how to dance, you should try acting out in public. This is the perfect opportunity.
Buffy: But…
Angelus: Please, Buffy.
Buffy: (reluctant) Uh… okay… but you own me big now!
She stood up, went to the stage and picked up the micro. She looked at the screen in front of her. The song appeared: "It's the way you make me feel".
Buffy (thinking/sarcastic): Oh great! A love song! Just what I need right now!
The music started, the audience turned to look at her, and the text started rolling over the screen. Buffy took a deep breath and started to sing.
It's the things that you do
So physical
It's the things that you say
So flammable
You know I can't resist
Boy it's such a shame
Do you belong to another
I don't wanna hurt nobody
But my heart just can't hold back
It's the way you make me feel,
(The way that you make me feel)
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don't care what they say
I'm loving you anyway
It's the way you make me feel
I'm going to make you mine
It's not impossible
Got to let you know
I'm irresistible
Baby can't you see
You're the one for me
But you belong to another
I don't wanna hurt nobody
But my heart just can't hold back
It's the way you make me feel,
(The way that you make me feel)
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don't care what they say
I'm loving you anyway
It's the way you make me feel
When I look into your eyes,
Every time you smile at me,
Oh I go weak inside,
Baby I just can't hide my love,
It's the way you make me feel,
(The way that you make me feel)
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don't care what they say
I'm loving you anyway
It's the way you-
Buffy: -make me feel….
(The music finished. She closed her eyes, and people started to applaud.)
She couldn't believe that she sang a love song in front of David. The strangest thing was that this song was the exact mirror of what she felt for him. When she sang, all she did was looking into David's eyes. They looked so warm and loving and he was smiled at her all the way until she finished. She opened her eyes, put the micro down and went to her table.
Angelus: That was…magical…fantastic…your voice was sweet and loving…hum…you didn't tell me you had a secret talent at singing and me who what's to help you at dancing... I bet you're good at that too!
Buffy (smiling): Thank you David. But no, I don't have any secret talent… I mean at singing and for dancing. You are the expert, not me!
Angelus: So you are not mad at me for…
Buffy: Mad??? I should hate you all the way to the inner core of your bones!
Angelus: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have…
Buffy: No, no, you don't understand... I'm glad that you did it, and I'm extremely happy. One of my worst fears has vanished because of you. It's all because of you, thank you.
They were staring at each other.
Angelus: Let's go dance!
He took her hand and tried to pull it.
Buffy: But our drinks?
Angelus: Don't worry; they will be there when we return. But I'm disappointed; I thought you would like to spend time with me and not your drink.
Buffy (smiling): Well, it is a hard choice… But I think I made my pick.
She stood up and took his hand.
