CHAPTER 5: SPILL
Buffy's house at 8pm.
Angel:
Buffy sat in my lap on the couch, she held my hand for support and I caressed it slowly with my thumb. She was nervous because she didn't know how her friends would react to them being together. They would all be here any minute now and I could tell Buffy was fighting back tears. My face showed no emotion, I just sat there with my forehead on hers, caressing her hand slowly trying to prevent the tears before they came. We hadn't spoke for about a half and hour, we just sat there. Finally she was the first one to speak.
"I love you, Angel, no matter what happens tonight," she smiled for the first time.
"I love you too, Buffy. Nothing that happens here can change how I feel about you, nothing will ever change that, understand?" I said slowly bringing my opposite hand from her hip to her face cupping it and kissing her gently.
"What the hell is Dead Boy doing kissing Buffy?" Xander walked in and screamed sarcastically.
When I took my eyes off of Buffy I saw Willow, Xander, Giles, and Anya staring at us with gaping mouths. I encouraged Buffy to speak when she said nothing by looking back at her and nodding.
She just looked at me, then spoke, "Um, guys, this is what Angel and I wanted you to meet us here for, we are back together."
"Why don't you guys sit down, and I'll get Dawn," Buffy gestured toward the couch and jogged up the stairs.
"Dead Boy, I swear if you hurt her I will kill your already dead butt," Xander mocked me.
"Xander do calm down," Giles said rather calmly, just like he always did in his British tone of voice.
Xander sat back down at Giles commented and just gave me a stern glance, until Buffy came in the room nervously smiling and playing with her hands. I loved the way she always did that; so calm and collected she tried to be; yet she never was. But I loved her for it. She came in and smiled at me and then took a seat next to me. She sat thigh-to-thigh with me and grabbed my hand so tight that if I were not a vampire I wouldn't have been able to not scream. She was scared, and that was not a good sign because Buffy was usually never scared. I looked over at her and her eyes were filled with pain, something was wrong, and it was her fear. I looked at her and just gave her hand a little squeeze to sign to her that it would turn out all right. I looked back to the crowd as Dawn joined them.
"Well, Angel and I have decided to get back together," Buffy gleamed.
Just then the door opened and shut. When I looked over my grand-childe, Spike, grimaced at Buffy and myself. "Well, bloody hell, Slayer, its true," I looked at him questionably. "Oh get off it Peaches, I heard from my buddies down at poker that you and the Slayer have been shagging it up in that bloody mansion of yours," he barked and smirked at the same time.
"What?!? Buffy, DEAD BOY?!? You slept together? WHAT? Your Angelus and SOMETHING is wrong with you BUFF! Are you going to let him kill us? What are you thinking, Willow get the curse, and Giles get some stakes, and BUFF, get away from Angel. Am I not seeing something here because you are sitting in the loving company of ANGELUS!" he screamed and panicked.
"Oh sod off Xander, for Christ sakes, my bloody sire is not here at this very moment, its just Poof over there," Spike exclaimed.
"Thank you Spike…. I think," Buffy added.
"Xander, Spike is right, keep your mouth shut until we find out what Buffy and Angel are up to," Dawn corrected Xander glaring at him.
"Thank you Dawnie," Angel commented.
"Okay you guys umm…well," the blushing girl stammered next to me.
That was my cue to chime in, "I have my soul restored, okay, so don't worry,"
"How are we supposed to trust you?" Xander smirked.
"Are you still alive?" I asked.
"Ya, the word, 'duh' is coming in mind," Xander said sarcastically.
"Well, if lost my soul every single one of you would be dead by now, and your not. So I have a soul, Xander," I narrowed my eyes in anger at him.
"Angel, how was your soul restored?" Giles asked in a concerned tone.
"Wesley, actually found a ritual. It was a prophecy that tipped him off. He found that my soul has been safe for quite some time now, ever since Willow did the spell," I answered.
"How did you find this out?" Giles still asking me questionably.
"Well, there was the spell that Jenny…ermp …. Willow had and he was reading over it. It restored my soul and protected it from the curse of one true moment of happiness. Therefore, I can not lose my soul," I sighed in relief that the chat was finished.
"What about the prophecy you mentioned before?" He was asking too many questions.
"This prophecy speaks of one day that a souled vampire will earn redemption. Since I am the one of the only souled vampires I figured it was about me," I answered.
"Yes, very well Angel. Do you think that I could see the book that you found this prophecy?" the British, ex-watcher inquired.
"Of course, when I go back to L.A. I'll get Fred to dig it up for me, along with an other prophecy that I was about to mention," I paused as I felt all the eyes in the room switch to my face. "There is this prophecy that speaks of the coming of the 'First'. It says that the 'First Evil' will try to take over the world."
"Oh just great! Another big bad" Buffy exclaimed.
"Another one that wants to take over the world. Don't these baddies ever get a new plan than taking over the world? I mean the most original was sucking the world into Hell by…" Xander stopped full sentence I knew what was coming out of his mouth…Angelus… "Opps sorry dead boy didn't mean to drag up old past."
I truly couldn't believe that Xander was apologizing to me. I think the boy must have been growing up to actually apologize to me…his worse enemy.
"Well, than very well Angel, do you have any idea when you will be going back to L.A. to get these prophecies?" Giles questioned.
"Yeah Dead Boy, when are you out of our lives for good…again, hopefully," Xander jumped up in excitement.
I stole a glance at Buffy and her face was hard and eyes were cold. I could tell that she hadn't thought about me leaving her even if it was only for a short time. I couldn't blame her, but I had thought it all night. I still hadn't come up with an answer to that question but I guess now I will have to say something.
"Well, I was actually thinking of at least going to get the prophecy and talk to the L.A. gang. But I truly do not know what they will say about Buffy and my self's relationship. Sop therefore when I get to L.A. and talk to everyone I will decide the duration of the trip when I get there and talk to them," I said to the Sunnydale group that sat in front of me and half of it directed to my love next to me.
"In other words the Poof over there hasn't talked to Fluffy yet because they were too busy basking in the happiness and good shit like that." Spike said with a playful smirk on his face.
"Spike! Dawns in the room for heavens sake," Buffy bit at the vampire.
"BUFFY! I'm not a kid anymore! I know about stuff like that. Especially Angel and you stuff!" Dawn spat back.
"And how would that be bit?" Spike sat down next to her and put an arm around her in question.
"Spike! Ewe… Stop it!" Dawn screamed and hit him playfully. Everyone laughed at there fun.
I could see something happening with these two. They were kind of cute together in an odd way. But I could see my grandchild and Dawnie becoming a couple for an odd reason.
"You guys are such losers," Xander laughed out.
"Oh sod off Harris!" Spike growled.
Buffy and I just sat there laughing at the pair. Personally I was glad that the eyes were off of us for the moment and they were put on the blossoming teenager and vampire. It was a great relief; I never liked to be the center of attention.
"So what are you and Peaches doing tonight, Fluffy?" Spike asked the petite Slayer beside me.
"Of course your gonna do romanticy stuff and lots of smoochies and staying up late, right?" Willow asked rather excitedly.
"Actually I planned on hanging with you guys here and the 'smoochies' will come after, Will," Buffy giggled and her face turned red. If the blood actually moved through my body then it would be all in my face because that was deathly embarrassing.
"Oh, fun night with the Buffsters!" Xander shouted.
"Don't forget Peaches, Harris," Spike added in and ruined Xander's fantasy.
"Oh common you guys! It will be like old times…the core of the Scoobies," Dawn said.
"Plus Spike," Giles chimed in.
"Plus Spikey… we can watch the horror monster movies that aren't scary and eat popcorn," the young teen exclaimed.
"Dawnies right you guys. We'll have a good time," Willow added in to the madness.
"That sounds like a plan, lets head to the video store now," Buffy said
TO BE CONTINUED….
