Chapter Four
"Oh come here sweetheart"
"Mum. Can you please stop squishing me to death."
"oh sorry hunny. I'm just so glad to see you home."
"Yeh mum i got that"
"Sorry. so how was your journey?"
"Long."
"do you want something to eat. You look hungrey?"
"No im OK mum. I'm just gonna go out for a bit."
"but Buffy you just got back. Where you gonna go out this hour."
"Just out. i need some air. I might pop down to the Bronze and see if Oz's band are playing tonight."
"Ok. just don't be out to late"
"Sure mum"
Buffy was tired. She had just travelled all the way from New York and now she was going to the bronze. not because she really wanted to. More to get out of the way of her mother who was fussing over her. the only real reason for going to the Bronze was to see her cousin Oz. They were close and he had even fallen for one of her best friends, Willow. Oz normally hung out with his mates, Fred, Gunn and Wesley but they were on holiday at the moment so she knew he'd be alone. walking into the Bronze Buffy could hear the band playing the song they called "Stubben Heights." they normally played that as their finishing song so she sat down on the table nearest to the stage and waited for Oz to finish playing. It was going to be one long night.
Angel was fed up. he had finally agreed to go out with that Darla chick just to make Spike happy and now he was stuck waiting in the line for the bronze because she wanted to go there. the whole date had been a bore. All she talked about was her-self and when she wasn't doing that, she was touching him in places he'd rather not be touched. he just wanted to go home and to bed but he knew that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. Walking into the Bronze, at last, with Darla stuck on his arm, he reconised the music as Oz's band, Dingoes ate my babies. he was a huge fan of that band. It was probabily because Buffy had introduced him to Oz and got him into there music. now he couldn't imagine a life without it.
Pushing through the crowds of people, he seated Darla down at a table and walked towards the bar. He ordered the drinks and payed and walked back the table. After seating him-self down on the oppisite side of the table to Darla his eyes started to wander around the Bronze. He saw all the regulars who went there but his eyes landed on a blond seated at the front table by the stage. If he hadn't of known better he would have thought it was Buffy. but it couldn't be. He knew she came back today but she wouldn't come staright to the bronze would she. Unless she wanted to see Oz. Lifting his eyes from the blond he turned back to face darla who was blabbering on about somehting to do with work. Deciding he needed another drink he lifted him-self out of the chair and walked across to the bar. Turning his head slightly he noticed the familiar blond had gone from the table and when he turned back he found that his drink was done. Picking it up and then paying he turned around and started walking back to the table when he cashed into something. No. Not something, someone.
Looking down he reconised the person as the blond, buffy.
"buffy"
Lifting her eyes off the cheast she had bumped into she looked at the guy she had been hoping to see at sometime.
"Angel"
"Um. this is a surprise. I mean i knew you were back today but why are you at the bronze?"
"Oh yeh. that. Well mum was fussing so i came to see Oz. What are you doing here?"
"Oh i um." How was he surposed to tell her that he was on a date with another girl after what he had said to her.
"Well....."
"Im on a date with darla. spike set me up and i couldn't say no"
"Sure you couldn't. Listen Oz has finished so im going to go now. have a nice time on your DATE" Buffy hadn't meant to sound so cold then but she did and she didn't care. How stupid was she to think he'd wait for her.
"Mum. Can you please stop squishing me to death."
