Chapter 5
"I'm bored," Angel whined to Gunn, Wesley, Giles, Spike and Xander.
"Go read a book," Wesley sounded unsympathetic, as he moved his knight forward, displacing Gile's bishop. The two were in the midst of an intense chess match.
"I don't want to read a book. I don't know why I can't go there," Angel complained.
"You know why," Gunn called from his place on the floor where he was trashing Xander in their Gameboy competition.
"Yeah, you do. Cordy will kick your ass from here to never," Wesley said, and he didn't notice the weird look Xander gave him. He wasn't used to the new Wesley yet.
"It's not fair," Angel grumbled. Wesley and Giles looked up, curious despite themselves to hear what he would come up with now.
"Did he always used to whine. I don't remember him whining, I don't even remember him even talking," Xander said to Spike.
"Believe me, I lived with him for years. He always whined," Spike replied to him.
"They been gone the whole day shopping, and now they'll be gone all night," Angel continued protesting.
"You don't like shopping remember, Angel," Wesley reminded his grumpy friend.
"She said it was just for the day, now she's gone all night and you know Connor gets crabby when he doesn't see her," Angel said.
"Of course, Connor gets crabby when he doesn't see her," Gunn said sarcastically. Wesley and Giles exchanged amused smiles, Angel didn't notice.
He opened his mouth to protest again, but he was cut off by Giles, "Go and bug someone else. Wes and I are in the middle of a game."
"But what if she has a vision, or something happens?" Angel said, ignoring what he didn't want to hear.
"Angel," Wesley sighed, "I know you heard of that little invention called the phone. She'll call."
"But…"
"No," Wesley interrupted, "Besides, we all know Cordy is perfectly capable of handling stuff on her own."
"Not to mention the presence of the Slayer and pretty powerful witch." Xander put in.
"I think I should go over there," Angel said.
"Doesn't he hear anything we say?" Giles asked Wesley.
"He has selective hearing when he wants to. Picked it up from Cordy," Wesley replied.
"I wanna go too," Spike said to the room, much as it killed him to agree with Angel, he was bored as well. It was no fun without the girls and he hadn't seen Buffy and Dawn all day.
"See, William wants to go," Angel said, and stood up enthusiastically, "Who's with me?"
"Are you nuts, man? Cordy will kill you if you interrupt girls night," Gunn asked, incredulously.
"Wesley stood up, and walked to Angel and tried to reason with him, "You know she doesn't get to have these very often, with only Fred around. Let them have their fun," Wes spoke logically.
"Why can't she have it here? With us?" Angel asked, put out.
"Last I checked Deadboy, you didn't have the right parts," Xander put in, unable to resist a taunt at Angel.
Typically Angel ignored him, and returned to pleading with Wesley, "Connor misses her," he said.
"Connor's sleeping," Giles dry tone cut in. He looked amused at Angel's behavior.
Xander stood up, and walked over, "Look, man, you really don't want to go over there," he shuddered to emphasize his point, "Trust me on this."
"How would you know, Xander?" taunted Spike from the side.
"My best friends are girls. How the hell do you think I know?" Xander replied, snapping.
"Come on, Wesley…I know you wanna go too. Gunn, Fred will be there." Angel said, trying to convince them.
"Angel, you are being ridiculous. You can survive one night without her," Wesley said.
"I don't think its fair that Lorne got to go with them," Angel resumed whining, "I can be fun too."
"How? With all the brooding, not to mention your lack of fashion. Tell me exactly how you are going to help on girls night?" Spike asked.
"Hey, I thought you were on my side," Angel retorted, "And I gave great fashion sense, Cordy thinks I look hot," he said, proudly.
"Please, she only said that because you were bugging her about whether you look fat, or not," Gunn said. Angel glared at him. And then at the rest of the room when they dared to chuckle.
"Well, I am going, whether you are coming or not. Connor doesn't sleep well when he's away from her," Angel announced to the room. He picked up Connor's crib with the sleeping child in it, and walked to the door.
"Connor or him?" Spike questioned sarcastically.
"She's so going to kill him," Wesley said.
"Wanna go and watch," Gunn asked the rest.
"Hell, yeah." Spike shouted. And the others nodded in agreement, and with that 5 really bored guys followed Angel out.
He was sitting in the car, waiting, when they got outside. "Took you long enough," he said when they arrived. He waited till they all jumped in, handed Wesley Connor's crib and pulled out, heading for Cordelia's apartment.
