Chapter 8
Angel and Buffy walked up to his house. They just got back from their first date and things went pretty well. Angel stopped and looked at her. "Would you like to come in?" Buffy wasn't sure at first and then just decided to live a little.
"Yeah, I would like that." Angel smiled at her and opened his door. He let her in first and then walked in after her, closing the door behind them. Spike watched them go in from in front of the house. He shook his head and decided to talk to his brother later as he drove away. Buffy looked around once she was inside. "You have a nice place." He nodded.
"Yeah, it's not so bad." Buffy looked around some more.
"Is Connor here?" Angel shook his head.
"He's staying at a friend's house tonight." Buffy nodded and they both walked into the living room and sat on the couch. "I hear he's getting pretty close to your sister." He said trying to make conversation.
"Yeah, I think they really like each other. I couldn't be happier about that, as long as they take things slow." Angel agreed.
"Connor's a pretty responsible kid. I'm sure it'll be fine." He told her.
"Did you know he asked Dawn out to that school dance coming up?" Angel nodded.
"I was a bit surprised when he told me about that. I've never known Connor to get involved in school events, but I'm glad he is. It could be good for him." Buffy nodded also and they just sat there in silence. Angel caressed her cheek. "Have I told you how great you look tonight?" Buffy blushed a little and looked away from his intense stare.
"I think you may have mentioned it." Angel smiled and leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. She was taken by surprise at first and then started to kiss him back. They spent time doing that until Buffy had to leave. It was only their first date so she didn't want things to go any further yet and he understood that. Buffy walked into school the next day with a smile on her face. She wasn't watching where she was going and bumped into someone. She looked up and saw that it was Spike. "Sorry, didn't see you." He just shrugged.
"Don't mention it. Someone looks happy today." Buffy shrugged also.
"I happen to like coming in to work everyday, it makes me happy." Spike wasn't convinced and continued walking to his classroom. Buffy walked with him.
"Have a nice date?" Buffy nodded and tried not to blush when she thought about the date.
"Yeah, it was good. Your brother is really sweet." Spike rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, he's a peach alright." He hoped she wouldn't detect the jealousy in his voice and she as usual seemed oblivious to it. "So, you going out again?" He asked her.
"I think we might. I really like him." Spike rolled his eyes again as they finally got to his classroom. He looked at her.
"Well, I hope that works out for you." He said with a bit of a harsh tone as he walked into the room and Buffy noticed that time.
"Are you okay? You seem grouchy today." Spike softened a little as he looked at her.
"I just didn't get that much sleep last night. Sorry, don't mean to take it out on you." Buffy nodded.
"It's fine, you sure you're okay?" Spike nodded also.
"Yeah, just have a bit on my mind. Nothing for you to worry your pretty little head about." He told her.
"You're thinking about Drusilla, right? You still love her?" Spike looked at her and nodded.
"Yeah, something like that." Buffy felt bad for him and put her hand on his shoulder in comfort.
"I'm really sorry about what happened, Spike. Things will get better though, you'll find someone else." She told him and he nodded again as she gave his shoulder a squeeze and then left the classroom. Spike watched her go and sighed. He wished it was that easy.
