__________________________________________
It was about 8:30 and the alley that the Bronze's entrence was in had scattered people about. Couples in little corners, small and large groups of people talking amoungst themselves, the usual. Music blasted from inside the club, along with the screaming and yelling that was going as well. It seemed pretty busy. But then again, Friday nights were always were. Saturday night too of course, but that isn't really important right now.
A group of three people walked down the center of the alley, carrying on a conversation that they had clearly started on their way ealier. They entered the club, all three making sure to give the expected amount of money to the man outside in order to get past. Once inside, a tall, darker figure came towards them. Only making one of the girls of the group smile and blush slightly before the two left to get something to drink. Leaving the other two to simple decide on sitting down and listening to the music until the return of their friend and her boyfriend.
As they did so, a new song started, this one more slow. Automaticly the lights fimed a bit, and people started coupleing up. Heading out onto the dance floor. The brunette looed at the girl sitting beside him and smiled.
"Hey Will, wanna dance?"
The red head looked at him and returned the smile. "I'd love to." She answered.
The two stood, and went out to the dance floor. The night before, this had been a bit awkward, but now as the two stepped closed it seemed as though they hid this all the time.
Willow's arms found their way around Xander's neck as his easily slid around her waist. Both smiling as they swayed along with the music.
After a moment, they boy speaks up. "Ok. I need this cleared up. Do you think we're a couple..type..thing?"
The girl furrowed her brow in thought, then smiled. "Only if you want us to be."
Xander's smile only returns to his lips. "Yes, I do. Want us to be a couple." Though in his mind, that sounded more relaxed, but the words had come out of his mouth more nervous than he would want to have revealed to her.
Willow smirked, and reached up a little just to brush her lips with his. "Good."
The smile that was playing on his face only chenged to a smirk then she had done this. "Hm. Didn't quite catch that. Could you repeat that?"
Knowing what he really meant, she decided to play along with his little game. Her smirk stayed on her curled lips and couldn't help but thinking: 'Calm down, Will. Just smile and kiss him. Nothing else. But he's sooo cute.' She pleaded, just wanted to pull him into a corner and have a little smoochies fest. Though she shook her thoughts away and once again reached up to him. Only to kiss him softly on the lips.
Instincticly, he kissed her back. Trying his best not to pull her off the dance floor and somewhere more private so they could have a nice groping session. As quickly as his thoughts had wondered off, he came back to reality. Just as the song came to a close.
They pulled away and both just watched each other for a moment. Having basked in the moment, both turned and walked off the dane floor. Hand in hand. __________________________________________
Just as the song was ending, Buffy and Angel had jsut arrived back at their table. They were sitting and talking, both of them smiling that same silly smile when either one of them is around. Having glanced over at the couple, the blonde saw the kiss, and had said something to make Angel look over as well. After watching for a moment or two, he turned her attention back to their conversation and she totally forgot about her friends. __________________________________________
Within a moment, Willow had returned to the table, Xander close behind her as their hands were still locked together. Sitting down, the two exchanged a smile.
"So Angel. What've you been up to?" Willow asked, trying to make conversation for the whole group.
Though she had really been talking, and trying to pay attention to what Angel's answer was, her thoughts were racing. Once again. Just like the last time, the whole sence played over. Them dancing, he asking her about the couple question. 'Then, oh, then the kiss. Geeze. Xand is a good kisser..no wonder all him and Cordelia ever did was grope. I bet that's why she even dated him.
"Ugh. That girl is so annoying." But she hadn't just thought about saying it. Willow had actually said it. Outloud. __________________________________________
The vampire shrugged. "Nothing. Just making sure Buffy is to speed with all the evils that need taking care of."
"Ugh. That girl is so annoying." Willow blurted out.
Realizing that she had said that outloud, a frantic Willow looked from Angel to Buffy. The girl seemed shocked that her best friend would say something like that about her.
'What? Did I hear correctly?' She asked herself, trying to think of what the girl had really said.
The red head then turned her gaze over to Xander, who looked just as confused as the other two.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Buff. I didn't mean you."
Finding her voice, Buffy furrowed her brow. "What do you mean?"
"Well, I was just thinking about...a girl I know. And this girl? Well, she's really annoying." Willow tried to convince her, trying to make her believe that she hadn't meant to hurt Buffy.
The slayer nodded slowly, trying to understand what was going on.
"Who were you talking about then?"
She paused, not really wanted to admit who she was thinking about while she was sitting right next to her new boyfriend who had just broken up with this same girl only a few days before. "Buffy..uh..bathroom break?"
It was the universal signal for girl talk. Willow was sending out a basic girl message saying that it was too embarrising for guys to be around when she talked about this. Understanding immediatly, Buffy nodded and stood, guesturing to Willow to follow her.
The red head did the same, and followed Buffy away from the table and towards the bathroom. __________________________________________
Having experienced the 'bathroom break' signal, Xander stayed put, knowing that everything would be better when the girls came back to the table. But he also knew, that if it was that bad that his girl had to send that kind of message to Buffy that it could be serious.
On the other hand, Angel turned around and watched the two walk off, clearly more confused then all of them.
"What was that?" He asked.
Comming out of his thoughts on whether they were going to be talking about him and something he had done to make Willow do something like that the boy looked at the vampire.
"The infamous 'bathroom break' signal. Every woman knows about it. The beauty of it is, is that they only do that when it's serious. So it's either something about them, or it's something we've done."
He told Angel, whose expression only grew more confused.
"Uh. Ok. So it's bad?"
He shrugged. "Sometimes. Depends on what how they say it."
The look on Angels face told him to elaborate, and Xander realized that this was the first time that Angel had done something like it.
'I think I like him when he's confused. And ah how the tables have turned. Me explaining something to him. I knew this day would come.' He told himself before answering:
"Well, I think it was just something Willow was too embarresed to say in front of us."
"What do you think she was embarresed about?"
Xander gave him a quick look, but then softened, realizing that he could tell the guy anything and he would most likely believe him. As long as he made it sound normal enough.
Deciding against it, he just told him what sounded good to him. "It must have been about the annoying girl."
The vampire nodded, understanding after asking his questions. Well, at least, he thought he understood...shaking his head mentally, he just sat there. As an awkward silence filled the air around them. __________________________________________
So, how do you think it'll go in the bathroom between Buffy and Willow? Tell me what you think should happen! Oh, and by the way, the next chapter will be up asap. ; )
