I'll Never Forget

Writer: Me... Libbie!

Disclaimer: None of the characters are mine they all belong to the all powerful Joss Whedon! Thought the idea does belong to me ...hihi! Also the quotes from "IWRY" belong to whoever made this gorgeous The deal was that Angel would be the only one able to remember what happened in "I Will Remember You", nowhere was it written in the prophecies that Buffy would too...

E-Mail: If you have any comments or some ideas...please feel free to e-mail me at ptitesavoyarde73@yahoo.fr

Note: When it's POV it will say so... if not it's just 2nd person and when the writing is in bold and italics its Buffy's remembering on "IWRY"

Oh and I almost forgot... Angel season 5! (We are currently in season 5 right?) 

Now on with the fic...

Spike's P.O.V.

Look at those two sleeping. As much as I'd wish for it to be true, she was never like that with me. When we did sleep together...we usually slept together first. When she told me that she loved me, I knew that she didn't mean it. I mean yeah, she did have feelings for me, but I knew what I was...a replacement. Peaches was and is the only one for her, and I hate to admit it. I could never compete with what they had, what they have, and what they could have.  But Buffy and I had our own little story for a while, and that will forever remain in her heart, and well my none-existent heart. We had our share of heartbreaks, and emotional moments, but it's nothing to write about. Well, look at me, I've gone all sappy...oh god someone please stake me.

"Hey Spike...what's up?" Nina asked as she saw him. She had just finished her 2nd night in her cage and had gotten well dressed to see Angel.  Spike wasn't answering, and Nina figured that he was deep into thought. She shrugged it off and decided to surprise Angel this morning and see if he wanted to go have breakfast.

Nina turned the knob to open the door and stepped in, "Ang-"was all she uttered before seeing the sight before her eyes. Angel's cheek had fallen over Buffy's head and he held her closely in his arms. Nina wasn't sure what to think of this and decided it would be best if she asked him about it later. 'No wonder Spike's so out of it, he must have seen them also...' Nina said before walking out of the office and getting ready to go back home for the day.

Wesley was in his office looking over his information on the Minotaur and the vampires that were protecting him. He rubbed his eyes and sighed as the information he found was frightening and it could be a real challenge for Angel and everyone that worked with him.

Wesley was brought back from his thoughts from the knock on the door. "Come in..." he spoke; Fred walked into the office and looked at him worriedly.

"Everything all right Wes?" She asked him as she sat across from him.

"This isn't going to be easy..." He responded to her, looking down at his feet.

"The Minotaur?"

Wesley nodded, "I just found out that vampires have inside information on Angel and Wolfram and Hart. It's probably a trap. They're trying to find Angel's weakness and use it as bait to get Angel. The catch is...the energy that the Minotaur needs to regenerate is... Angel's soul. The vampires are going to chant this spell that will release Angel's soul and feed it to the Minotaur. "

"But Wes, what does this have to do with Wolfram and Hart?"

"One or maybe some of the vampires are under cover here as lawyers."

"How sure are you of that?"

"Pretty sure for they are trying to find Angel's weakness and if they're on the inside...they will get that information. And who knows maybe even more information such as what our Angel's fighting techniques...or...mess around with his head, our heads...it's terribly frightening, we're not going to be safe."

"But what's Angel's weakness, Darla's gone..." Fred asked Wesley as he looked at the door right behind him.

"Buffy?" Angel whispered as he got up from his chair. He hated to disturb her when she slept. It was the most beautiful sight he'd ever seen. When Buffy was sleeping it was as if she was still this normal girl that didn't have to deal with the pressures of saving the world; it shined her innocence and her beauty.

An immense smile grew on Buffy's face as she stretched out and looked at Angel. "How did you sleep?"

Angel smiled at her, "Extremely well, you?"

Buffy caressed the back of her neck and thought a minute. "I slept extremely well...I smell all Angel-ish now. But my neck ehh that's another story. "

Angel chuckled and took her hand in his. "Let's go downstairs, you must be really hungry."

Buffy looked down at her stomach and patted it with her hand. "Mmm...Food."

Buffy: "No, I - want to stay awake - so this day can keep happening."

Angel kisses her on the forehead: "Sleep. We'll make another one like it tomorrow."

Buffy sleepy: "Angel? This is the first time I ever really felt this way."

Angel: "What way?"

Buffy: "Just like I've always wanted to. Like a normal girl, falling asleep in the arms of her normal boyfriend. It's perfect."

Wesley ran down to Angel as soon as he saw he saw the two descend from his office.

"Angel, I'm glad your awake this is extremely important-we have the information on the Minotaur and his vampires."

Angel nodded and turned to look at Buffy. "I know the drill. This is your job and don't worry I'll just go out and get something to eat and maybe visit my dad."

Angel smiled and kissed her on the cheek, "see you later all right?" Buffy nodded at him and walked out the doors of Wolfram and Hart.

"Angel, we know that you have problems with Buffy right now and that you two need to figure out why she remembered whatever she remembered but this is really important..."

Angel listened to everything that Wesley and Fred had to say, he nodded but stayed silent until the end of their explanation.

"How do we find out who's working for the Minotaur?" Angel asked Fred.

"Well we're going to do a background check on everyone here and then we're going to use a truth test on them."

Angel nodded and looked at Fred, Wesley, and Gunn. "Well what are we waiting for? I need everyone on this...where's Spike?"

"Hey luv..." Spike said as he tapped on Buffy's shoulder so she would turn around.  

"Spike! When did you, how did you, I mean hi." Buffy was in total shock to see him and was at loss for words.

"Turns out I got another chance and then I was a ghost and now I'm semi real it's really confusing."

"Apparently so..." Buffy said as she looked up at him. "Listen Spike I..."

"No need to say it Goldie locks. I understand. I really appreciated that you told me you loved me, even though you never really meant it. It's all right Buffy. You and me, it would have never worked out anyways, if you're going to be with a vampire anyways, it really should be peaches, not me."

"Spike, I did have feelings for you, I really did. And I guess that somewhere inside I really did love you. But you and I... it would have never worked out. I loved you...but you never were the love of my life and I couldn't replace that as much as I wish I could."

Spike nodded and smiled at Buffy, "friends?" he asked her with a slight chuckle. Buffy nodded and hugged him before walking out the door of Wolfram and Hart.

"Oh and Buffy?"

"Yeah Spike?"

"Lookin' bloody good..."

Buffy walked around Melrose and decided to stop at a Starbucks for breakfast.  "I'll have a Caramel Macchiato and some coffee cake please." (A/N: Mmmmm good!) Buffy took her drink and her cake and sat down outside letting the soft breeze caress her face. She really did miss L.A. and mostly Angel. Those six months that she and him just spent apart was really too much for her. She needed him to live and she knew that that would never change.

Nina was walking down Melrose and directly spotted Buffy sitting down at Starbucks. She didn't know who she was but she wanted to know what was going on between Angel and her.

Nina sat down across from Buffy and put her arm across the table to Buffy. "Hi I'm Nina." Buffy took her hand and was a little awkward wondering why this strange woman was sitting across from her.

"Hi I'm Buffy." Buffy smiled at Nina and stayed silent not quite sure of what to say to Nina.

"I know you're probably wondering why I'm here talking to you, correct?"

Buffy nodded and waited for Nina to speak again.

"I suppose you know Angel then..." Nina said to Buffy, looking her directly in the eyes.

Buffy's eyes widened and she smiled at Nina. "Do I know Angel... wow. "
