Sorry I can't seem to make the chapters longer. Some are longer than others, but I know that mainly they're really short. I think this story has the shortest chapters that I've ever done. Sorry again, just keep in mind that I'm a pretty fast updater. It's better than nothing at least!

Chapter 10

"Why are you really here?" Angel asked Buffy and she rolled her eyes.

"I thought we already went over that." He shook his head.

"No, not here in the office. I mean why are you in LA? Why now? Is it just because Spike's back?" He wondered.

"That's part of it. I'm here on a mission." Angel crossed his arms over his chest.

"What would that be?" Buffy got closer to him.

"If I told you, I'd have to kill you." She said with a smile and he shook his head.

"Are you just here to choose which one of us gets to become human?" Buffy shrugged.

"That could be it, but I have to say that you're not really getting many points at the moment." She said as she started to walk away. He then grabbed her arm and pulled her back to him and without even thinking about it, he kissed her hard on the mouth. Buffy kissed him back until she realized what was going on and she pushed him away. "Hold it, what are you doing? We can't keep doing that every time we see each other, Angel. Things are different now." She explained.

"I'm sorry, but things aren't that different. I still love you, Buffy. I never stopped." Buffy sighed and saw how sincere he was.

"I know that and I'll always love you, but I'm not the same girl anymore. I've moved on and to be honest I thought you did, too. I know that things were going on with you and Cordelia and she may be in a coma right now, but that doesn't mean that you should just forget about her. You don't know if she would wake up or not." Angel knew she was right and he couldn't believe that he actually forgot about Cordelia. He hasn't even visited her in a few weeks.

"You're right, I shouldn't have done it. You love Spike, don't you?" He said and was surprised by how calm he was about it. Buffy just nodded.

"Yeah, I do. You okay with that?" Angel thought about it and nodded also.

"I wouldn't say I'm that happy with it, but I can see that you are and that's all that matters. I only want you to be happy, Buffy." Buffy smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thanks, Angel. That really means a lot to me. I should probably go and find him. We'll talk later." Angel nodded as she walked out of his office. He sighed as he watched her go and sat down at his desk. He rubbed his face and thought about the conversation he had with Buffy. Angel now knew that she would never choose him and he realized that he was okay with that.
