This chapter is also very short but I'm sure all you Spike fans will be happy to know Angel and Buffy have an argument. Enjoy!
Cordelia Is mentioned in this story but only as an ex-girlfriend!
..................................
Once Buffy had taken her story to Rupert, she went to see if Angel had finished.
"Hey Buffy, nearly finished. Sit down." Angel said giving her a smile.
"Thanks, um, Spike got pretty mad when I told him I was going out. He thinks we're going out for a business drink," Buffy explained, again feeling nervous around Angel.
"Are you OK?" Angel asked suddenly feeling concerned.
"Yup, he only shouted at me and slammed the door. I was surprised you didn't hear him," Buffy said, trying to turn it into a joke.
"Oh was that what that bang was? So he didn't hit you?" Angel asked clicking on the print button.
"He's not that kinda guy," Buffy lied. She could remember the first time he hit her. It was because she had gone clubbing with a few mates and he caught her dancing with some guy.
"Right, finished, lets go, I really need some fun!" Angel said, grabbing the story from the printer and waiting for Buffy to exit his office.
"Me too," Buffy laughed, she was going to try and forget Spike for the rest of the night.
.................................
Three hours, and eight bottles of Vodka later, Buffy and Angel were pretty drunk.
Angel had been telling her about his ex-girlfriend, Cordelia Chase, and Buffy had been pretending to listen when really she was thinking about Spike. Angel realized that she was daydreaming and decided to ask her what she was thinking about.
"What you thinking about," he asked taking a sip from his bottle.
"Spike."
"Oh," he said disappointed.
Buffy could tell.
"Did you think I was thinking of you?" Buffy asked giggling.
"No...I just..." Angel tried to lie, but he couldn't think of anything else to say.
"You just don't like Spike," Buffy said trying to guess the end of his sentence.
"No... I have feelings for you," Angel said surprised at what he had just said.
Buffy's heart skipped a beat, had he liked her all this time... Wait it had only been two days!
"Do you mean that, cause..." Buffy started but Angel stopped her.
"Yes I do mean that, that's why I'm worried about you. I kind of hoped you'd leave Spike last night, cause I don't like the way he treats you." Angel said getting up. He was getting angry.
"Where you going?" Buffy asked worried.
"You obviously don't feel the same way as I do!" Angel shouted, unaware of the other people around him. He started to walk away.
"Angel!" Buffy shouted.
He turned around waiting for her to talk.
"You haven't given me time to tell you how I feel. Please sit down." Buffy asked, she was on the verge of crying.
Angel sat back down. "So how do you feel?"
"I do have feelings for you, I just didn't think you felt the same way. Last night I felt I was safe, I wanted you to wrap your arms around me and tell me everything was going to be alright... but I can't leave Spike I still love him..." Buffy trailed off she had nothing else to say.
"After everything he has done to you, you still love him?" Angel shouted, he was also on the verge of crying. "Your Stupid Buffy! Do you hear me? Stupid!" Angel turned around intent on getting out of the bar.
"Angel!" Buffy sobbed. "Please! Can't we talk?"
"No Buffy, we already have! I think you've said what you've wanted say!" he shouted. He had turned around and she could see that he was also crying. Then he turned his back to her and walked out.
