Three teens stood in front of Paradise Coffee discussing their summer and slurping down frozen mochas, unfortunately they all found out it seemed dull. "Great, just great today is the last day of summer and we didn't do anything." Buffy summers said pouting and playing with her straw of her frozen mocha.
"Now Buffy that isn't true you know we did do some fun stuff, like the foreign movies we saw, the clubbing that we did and what about that guy you met? Huh huh now that was stuff wasn't it?" Willow said taking another cookie and munching on it quietly then looked over at Xander who was looking rather.bored.
"Yeah the guy was the only real highlight of my summer but unfortunately I'll never see him again and this year is going to suck something major. I mean when I left last year I wasn't exactly ms. popular, Cordelia was constantly giving me grief and the whole school thought I might break down at any minute." She said pouting again and taking her cookie back from Willow.
"Well it couldn't be the way you dress huh?" Xander said giving his lopsided smile. Buffy looked down and didn't see anything wrong with her appearance. She was wearing her usual; black dickies pants, a red halter, her black duster and her hair had been recently colored underneath, well that was black too and made a nice compliment to her honey colored hair on top. So she would rather wear her black boots than a pair of pink stilettos, which was just her.
"What it's what I always wear?" She said trying to see the flaw.
"I'm sorry but we are the only ones who know you every one else thinks that look say 'don't mess with me or I'll mess you up'. But I guess that guy liked it, hey who is this guy we've been talking about him I don't know where you met this guy or who he is." He sat straight up looking at the both giggling girls.
"Sorry Xand, I guess we forgot you weren't there. Well it was at the Bronze about a month ago.." Buffy began.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ FLASHBACK~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Will, I don't even know why we came here tonight. Xander is at his grandmas and everyone is looking at me." Buffy said looking uncomfortable.
"Buffy I told you if you wore that red mini leather skirt and halter top you were going to be 'seen'." Willow said giving her friend a 'duh' smile. Sometimes Willow didn't know if Buffy was just an innocent girl with a fetish with black, red and leather or some kind of attention addict. Last night Willow had dyed Buffy's hair underneath, in her favorite color: black. And she was actually happy she did it, Buffy looked good but now she was getting more attention than she anticipated. So her friend went to the bathroom and changed into the back dickies pants and a pair of black chucks. She should have never let Faith dress her anyway.
"Better? But hey I hear 'comfortable' is in" Buffy said sarcastically
"Well that guy seems to like you look and he isn't too bad looking." Willow said moving her friend's head to the direction of the bar.
"Wow, yeah he is rather good looking. Oh my god did I just say 'rather'? My mom's British boy toy is rubbing off on me." Buffy looked horrified
"Buffy why don't you go and strut your stuff in front of him I mean does it hurt to have a summer love?" Willow said trying to get Buffy off that 'love aint for me' virus.
"Will, how many times have I told you, guys just don't like me and plus they just can't keep up. You should tell Faith about him she is around here somewhere. I heard she is playing a 'who can catch the most fish' game tonight with Cordelia." She said smiling but then the look on Willows face turned from laughter to that of astonishment. Her eyes were not at Buffy but just beyond her. Then Buffy leaned back a little and landed against something hard.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to hit you." Buffy said at the tall stranger, he was the guy from the bar he had dark hair that was spiked and wore a blood red shirt and a pair of black pants, and the two most beautiful brown eyes she had ever see. One word came to mind when looking at him.'wow'.
"Oh no it was my fault; I actually meant to do that. You see it's all a scheme to get you to dance with me." He said rather causally.
"Sorry I don't dance with guys I don't at least know the names of." She said coyly and hoped he would take the bait.
"Angelus, so I gave you mine it's only fair that I receive yours." Angel didn't know what he was doing but then again it made perfect sense to him. Spike had pointed out the girl when she had walked in, she was slightly more than hot to say the least and he couldn't keep his eyes off of her. When she had changed into some less slutty more comfortable she looked even more sexy if that was possible. Her whole 'I don't care what people think' attitude seemingly pulled him in. Oh yeah back to reality.
He came back just in time to hear her say: "Buffy, but you might want to revoke your invitation, you see if you are seen with me it puts a big void sticker on any kind of wanted popularity and/or social life. I'm what Cordelia calls a loser." She said knowing everyone at the Bronze knew Cordelia or knew of her, but her words were regretted when Willow kicked her under the table. Angelus leaned dangerously close to Buffy's ear and whispered:
"Since when did I tell you I cared what Cordelia thinks and when did I need to be popular?" He pulled back and grabbed Buffy's hand before she could protest further. Willow gave out a small squeal and waved Buffy away. To much surprise of willow, Buffy could dance but not just dance but grind and wiggle her little body in such a way every testosterone filled man in the room was under her spell. And Angelus had the happiest look on his face, while Cordelia stopped to see who the new girl was only to scream at the top of her lungs when she learned Buffy Summers was dancing with the biggest catch of the year. Oh revenge was sweet, willow mused.
The music ended and the circle of on-lookers started clapping and Cordelia and her flock just scowled and walked off. Buffy looked happy and actually gave a rare smile; wait a minute where did Buffy learn those moves? Willow thought to herself in complete puzzlement.
Buffy got back to the table and Angelus whispered 'Alley, five minutes' Buffy blushed and sat down at the table awaiting Willows questions and she got them: (A/N: Left is willow and the right is Buffy)
See was that so bad?-no
Didn't I tell you he was interested?-yeah
Where did you learn to dance like that?-I have eyes and my sister is faith
So are you meeting him again?-yeah in three minutes
Really?!-Do I ever lie? Never mind don't answer that.
. (Willow silenced running out of Questions) So who are all these drinks for?-Buffy
You.What from whom?
Every guy in the bar.You can't be serious.
I am and your late.Crap I'll see you later Wills //////
"Wow Angel cakes that girl sure was gorgeous" Lorne said patting Angels back
"Yeah and I am meeting her in like five minutes. So, I am marking my territory here Spike, so I'll say this once, stay away." He said getting real close to Spikes face.
"Oh and since when did you care about these girls you like for the moment?" Spike countered not liking his friends tone.
"Since I want this one to be different." He said with more anger in his voice and clenching his fists.
"Fine but I give you maybe two days before you start looking for someone new." This really pissed Angel off and took a swing at spike and he would have decked him if Gunn hadn't decided to hook his arm around Angels at the last second.
"Angel it isn't worth it, and don't you have a date?" Gunn asked trying to calm him, and surprisingly it worked. Angel turned away from spike and walked out of the Bronze.
"If I didn't know better I'd say peaches, there is smitten, but of course I know better." Spike said with a grin. His friend Angel would be out of the picture shortly, going to Ireland to visit the family, he'd have to leave the girl sometime and when he did Spike would be there waiting. //////////////////////
"Hey there you're late." She said him entering the alley, his face instantly lit up
"Guess I'll just have to make up for it."
///////////////////////
Willow waited all night for Buffy to come home and even put up with faith and finally around four that morning Buffy came strutting in with the biggest smile on her face.
"Buffy you're smiling, what happened did you get the catch of the night or what?" Faith said sarcastically.
"You could say that, Wills I had the greatest night of my life!" She said running to her friends' side ready to spill everything.
"Well indulge Buff, I am awaiting the scoop!" Willow said smiling at her Friend's infectious happiness.
"Well we went to another bar and we put on a repeat performance from the bronze, but after receiving enough alcohol from the guys at the bar to make a whole navy drunk we left and went to the park where we talked about everything from music and books we like to our pasts. He's from Ireland! And then he brought me home and his kiss, oh my god his kiss it's like electricity flowing from his lips!!" She rambled some more and more until she was finally in tears.
"Hey Buffy what's the matter?" Willow said frustrated with her friends sudden mood swing and Faith was nearly laughing.
"He laves tomorrow to go to Ireland; I'm never going to see him again." Buffy said in one breath. Then she pepped up "Oh well that's my life, meet my first decent guy and he has to leave, life goes on right?" She once again putting on her tough girl face.
"Yeah, Buffy it does but that doesn't mean you have to rule out the guys now there plenty of fish in the sea." Willow said trying to bring back the Buffy of a few minutes ago, but it was no use the old Buffy was back with vengeance.
"Will, he was a complete fluke, no more guys I can't get attached things just don't like to go my way so if I don't look I wont get hurt." She said starting to head up stairs.
"Hey B, just for the record who did you catch tonight?" Faith said sick of the waiting game.
"Angelus O'Conner, my Angel." She said absent mindedly. Faith's mouth dropped at what Buffy just said 'the' Angel, every girls dream to date. Her sister had managed to bag the hottest guy in all the world , suddenly her respect for Buffy climbed up a notch if that was possible.
"Willow you should just stay here tonight, dad left on another business trip and wont be back until, oh hell I don't know when he will be back! But you should stay here it's late, or er, early and you look beat." Faith said; trying to be nice to her sister' best friend.
"Thanks." /////////////////////////End//////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////
"Wow so you haven't seen the guy since?" Xander said a little happy that this guy had left so he could still have his Buffster.
"Nope I don't expect to either." Buffy said finally arriving at her house and then stepping on the porch looking at the sunset. "Look guys at the last high school summer sunset of our lives." She said putting her arms around her friends.
"Summer was too short." Xander said
"It always is Xander, it always is." Willow said patting her friend on the back and then waved good bye to her friends.
"I'll see you guys at, gulp, school tomorrow ok." Buffy said
"Hey buff we are finally seniors, the big dogs this is our year." Xander yelled from the street.
*Yeah, but what is that? Cordelia is still top of the food chain and your still obsessing about a guy you had one date with.* She thought.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"Oh Angel cakes how was Ireland?" Lorne said picking up Angel from the airport to bring him back to Sunnydale.
"Family oriented." He said with a little bit of boredom on his voice.
"So are you finally going to stay in good ole SunnyD for good, and like go to school here or did your aunt back out of her invitation?" he said
"Nope she says I can stay and yeah I'm going to Sunnydale high starting tomorrow I don't suppose Spike goes there does he?" He asked praying that he didn't
"That would be a big yes, sorry Angel cakes." Lorne said
"Well great and what about that girl?" He asked
"You're going to have to be more specific there is an abundance in the female population." Lorne teased
"Lorne the girl I went out with before I left!"
"I'm coming up with nothing Angel."
"The little blonde at the Bronze with the amazing hazel eyes and perfect body, she wore black everything." Angel said getting frustrated.
"Oh you're talking about the blonde goddess in black, Buffy Summers. Sunnydale Highs most hated gal thanks to Cordelia." Lorne said with a smile and chuckle he loved giving Angel a hard time. "If you didn't catch it, yeah she goes there"
Angel just smiled ****I'm what Cordelia calls a loser**** He remembered her saying that, well it seems Angel happened to like losers or just losers named Buffy Summers.
*************A/N: Should I go on or just drop it? Tell me with review people, I'd love to hear your input. Yeah I know Buffy's moods were all over the place but you have to understand she gets the hottest guy on earth only for him to be taken away. Sorry for the spelling and/or punctuation but I wanted to get this to you now and didn't really care how bad it was. Oh and I kinda need a beta so if your interested......
