Ok I've tried to make this chapter longer than the last one but I think it's pretty boring cause there's hardly any action, but don't worry there's going to be plenty soon!

I'm very sorry but I can't say whether Buffy gets with Angel or if she stays with Spike. She gets really confused at some point.

Xander and willow will make an appearance in the story and so will Dawn and Darla!

.....................................

As Buffy walked into work the next morning Rupert Giles, her boss, stopped her.

"Buffy, here are some new notes for a new story about unhealthy high school children. Enjoy!" He took his glasses off, gave them a quick clean and when they were back on he gave Buffy a long stare as if waiting for an answer.

"Oh...Hooray!" Buffy said with fake enthusiasm. "When do you want it finished?"

"Oh. By tomorrow, OK?" He turned around heading for his office.

"Yeah that's fine," Buffy walked away heading to her own office.

.......................................

A few hours later, and a few columns of news later, there was a knock at the office door.

"Come in!" Buffy shouted, relieved to finally have a visitor. Or maybe it was just the tea lady. Well any way, it wasn't it was only Rupert.

"Yes I will have this story done..." But before she could finish Rupert interrupted her.

"I don't really care about the story at the moment. Buffy I would like you to meet the new writer, Angel O'Connor, who's going to start work here tomorrow." As he said that a tall, very muscular man walked into Buffy's office. He had short, brown spiky hair and he wore a white t-shirt and black pants.

"What a weird name... oh my god he is so gorgeous!" Buffy thought as he walked in.

"Hi," Buffy managed to say, once she was finished day dreaming, "I'm Buffy Summers," she held out her hand as a friendly gesture.

"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm sure you know my name already!" Angel joked as he stepped closer to shake her hand.

"Angel is taking over Riley's job so he'll be working in the office next to you. I guess I'll leave you two to just get to know each other better," he turned around and walked back to his office but before entering he turned back around again and shouted "I still want that Story finished Buffy!"

Buffy gave him the thumbs up and carried on talking to Angel.

..................................

"Oh my god she is so beautiful," Angel thought as he was telling Buffy about Sunnydale, his home town.

"It sounds so... boring. No offence!" Buffy said offering Angel a cup of coffee when the tea lady entered the office, Angel nodded and watched while the lady poured coffee into two mugs.

"Well it was quite boring, but there was a really good club called the Bronze, I used to go there every night."

"Cool. So um... you got a girlfriend?" Buffy asked, curious.

Angel's heart skipped a beat, maybe she was single. "No, you got a boyfriend?"

"Yeah, his name's Spike, he works as a mechanic downtown. We've been going out since the last year of school," Buffy said deciding to carry on with her article.

"Oh," Angel said, trying not to sound disappointed. "Well I'll let you get on with your story, see you later," Angel got up from the chair he was sitting in and walked towards the door.

"It was nice to meet you, Angel. Bye," Buffy said giving him a quick wave. Angel gave her a wave himself and then disappeared.

.............................................

"Ring...ring...ring..."

"Hello?" Buffy said into the telephone.

"Hey it's me babe, you going to be late tonight?" Spike asked hoping she wasn't.

"Nope, I'm going to be home on time tonight so I'll see you later ok?" Buffy said, taking a sip from her fifth coffee of the day.

"Ok see you later, love you," Spike put the phone down and so did Buffy. She was really tired and just felt like sleeping, but she knew Spike would want some action tonight.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, it was Rupert again.

"Have you nearly finished your story yet," he asked leaning on the door frame.

"Yep, I'm like one word away from finished... nope I'm actually finished now," she said as she typed the last and final word. "I'll just print it off and you can have it in about five, Ok?"

"Yes that's perfectly fine," Rupert answered in his British accent. He walked out the office and she clicked on the print button.

.................................

Before she finished work Buffy decided to say goodbye to Angel.

"Come in," Angel said after Buffy had knocked on the door. Buffy entered and he gave her a smile when he noticed who it was and continued working on his computer. "Hey Buffy what's up?" He said surprised to see her in his office.

"I just thought I'd come and say bye to you, because I'm going home now." She said fiddling with the strap of her handbag. She felt kinda nervous.

"Oh wait, do you know a number for a cab company, because I haven't bought a car yet?" Angel asked still looking at his computer screen.

"Do you want a lift, because I don't mind if you want one," Buffy asked surprised at what she had just asked him.

Angel glanced up from his computer, "Yeah that would be great, I'll just print this off and I'll be with you in a minute."

"OK, I've got to give this to Rupert anyway," she held up a piece of paper with her story on it.

.....................................................

There was a long disturbing silence as Buffy drove Angel to his apartment, Angel felt very nervous, but decided to try and start a conversation up.

"So...um...you been working at the office long?" Angel asked trying to sound more curious and less nervous.

"Yeah for about a year now I think," Buffy said turning around a corner. "So what job did you have before, in Sunnydale?" Buffy asked.

"I used to write a column or two for a Sunnydale paper, but then I decided I wanted more so I moved here!" Angel said trying his best to sound enthusiastic.

"Oh cool, so writing is what you always wanted to do?" Buffy asked.

"Well, yeah but in a few years I would like to own my own newspaper company, that would be great," Angel said, but then he realized that would probably never come true, it was only a dream.

"Yeah well, dreams do come true. Are we nearly there yet?" Buffy asked, but she knew that dreams REALLY didn't come true!

"Oh yeah just around this corner and the third building on the right. Thanks," Angel said pointing in the direction she needs to go. Buffy turned the corner and parked outside the building.

"Oh my god, are you rich?" Buffy asked in awe, the building looked amazing! It was a tall building which, looked like, was filled full with apartments.

"Well, I guess I am. So I suppose I'll see you tomorrow." Angel said opening the car door. "Oh and here's my number... for emergencies," he scribbled his number on a piece of paper and handed it to her.

"Oh thanks" Buffy said feeling confused, but she shook the feeling off. "Yeah see you tomorrow" she gave him a wave while he shut the car door.

When he had disappeared in the building Buffy drove off into the night.

.........................................

"Hey honey I'm home!" Buffy shouted as she walked into her apartment.

"Hey babe," Spike shouted back. "Where you been?"

"Oh I dropped this new guy off at his apartment. Where are you Honey?" Buffy said as she opened the refrigerator looking at what she could eat.

"I'm here," Spike said as he wrapped his arms around Buffy from behind.

"Oh...hi, you hungry, cause I haven't eaten since this morning," Buffy asked placing her free hand on one of Spike's

"Yeah...um what did you have in mind?" Spike asked, nibbling on one of her ears.

"How about I order in a pizza, or do you feel like a Chinese?" Buffy asked as she shut the fridge and wrapped her arms around the person she loved.

"Chinese would be great, I'll order it now," he put a hand on her cheek and they kissed passionately for a minute or so until Buffy broke off. "Hey baby, what's wrong?" Spike asked confused.

Buffy picked the phone out of the receiver and placed it in one of his empty hands, "I'm hungry"

........................................

Buffy was tired but all Spike wanted was sex, she was really fed-up.

"Spike, stop it," Buffy giggled as he licked one of her breasts. "I'm really tired, and I've got work in the morning." She pushed his face away from her breasts but he still had his arms wrapped around her middle.

"Oh come on baby, we haven't done it for ages!" Spike said looking into her green eyes.

"No, Spike I don't care! Now get off me!" Buffy said getting really mad. She pushed him off of her, turned around and closed her eyes ready to fall asleep.

Spike wasn't going to give up yet he twisted her around so she was facing him again and thrust himself into her.

Buffy whimpered, desperate to get away, he was drunk and she knew it. She pushed him away and got out of the bed. And as fast as she could put some clothes on before Spike could get out of the bed and grab her.

She ran out of the house not sure of what to do next...

....................................................

Mean while, Angel couldn't sleep, he couldn't stop thinking of Buffy, "She's so beautiful but so hard to reach, cause she's got Spike." he thought, suddenly the phone rang

"Buffy?"
