Chapter 3:

"Angel"

Buffy stopped as Angel's eyes found hers. Her breath caught in her throat as old feelings resurfaced that she knew had never left. He looked good. She caught herself before she became too transfixed with his eyes that she always managed to lose herself in. If she didn't know better she would say he looked older, his hair slightly longer but still spiked in the same way it had been when they first met all those years ago. She still loved him, that much she knew, but did he still love her? Well its not like that matters, nothings changed.

"Buffy"

Angel rose from his chair and walked the few steps it took to stand directly opposite Buffy, opposite ends of the room, keeping his distance. He didn't want to get too close in case she noticed he was human, and that wouldn't be good, I need to tell her when the time is right. Luckily he had the sense to close the drapes before she arrived so the sun wasn't a problem, and wouldn't that have been a difficult thing to explain. God she looked good. Angel remembered that Buffy was now 21. She had grown up from the schoolgirl he had once known, now a young woman she held herself with a confidence that he had not seen in her before.

Angel and Buffy were both startled from their thoughts by the sound of Cordelia coming down the stairs.

"Angel, can you at least look as if you're helping so that I don't feel like I'm doing all the work myself, Buffy will be.....HERE!" Cordelia screamed and ran to hug her old friend, "Oh my God! Oh my God! It's been forever! You haven't changed at all, I can't believe your wearing Laura Ashley!" Cordelia paused for breath and Buffy managed to extract herself from Cordelia's strong grip.

"I can't believe it's been so long! We have so much to catch up on," Buffy was speaking to both Cordelia and Angel when she said this, but was looking only at Angel.

Angel chose not to take this hint as he knew how much Cordy had been looking forward to Buffy visiting, besides he wanted to speak to Buffy in private to tell her his news, without Cordelia interrupting and spoiling the moment. With these thoughts in his mind he said, "I think I'll leave you two girls to catch up, I'm sure you have lots to talk about and id only be in the way. Its nice seeing you again Buffy," with one last look at the blonde he turned and walked into his office, shutting the door behind him.

Cordelia turned towards Buffy and saw flash of hurt cross her face. She knew both Buffy and Angel were still in love with each other and had been trying to get them together ever since Angel had turned human. She had lost count of the number of times she had invited Buffy to LA to visit and each time she had an excuse why she couldn't come. This time she had practically forced Buffy to visit by buying her a plane ticket in advance. Now Buffy was here and it looked like Cordelia still had a lot of work to do. Oh great.

"So Buffy, I'll show you around the place, while you can tell me absolutely everything about what's been happening with you and the gang these last two years, no details left out like you have been doing on the phone." Cordelia knew Buffy had purposefully made their phone conversations short so as to not talk about a certain not so vampy human in the next room.

Buffy pulled herself from her thoughts about Angel and relaxed into the conversation with Cordelia, after all Angel could wait, it wasn't like he was getting any older.

Both girls started up the stairs, Cordelia in front leading the way to Buffy's room. Buffy followed carrying her many suitcases, after all a girls gotta be prepared for any occasion.

"Well Cordy, I guess I should begin with the important stuff......" Buffy began informing Cordy of the news she was so eager to hear.
