Note: Hi you B/A AU fans. For those who have been waiting for this chapter
I apologize sincerely. I've been having writer's block alongside with the
stress of exams before and other stuff happening in my life. So now I give
you chapter 16 and hopefully I can write more quickly for those who have
been enjoying the story so far. Thank-you to all of the people who have
posted such nice reviews! Makes me want to write to please you all.
Chapter 16
Angel decided two can play that game. He knew he wasn't gonna last much longer letting her get the upper hand. He knew he had to strike back. Whatever pissed her off; he had to pretend he didn't care anymore. He needed to be his old self again.
It was nightfall and Angel knew how to unwind his frustrations, the Bronze. The Bronze was where everyone relaxed and partied and this was his number #1 spot to pick up chicks. He hoped Buffy was there, to see him flirting, to see what a big opportunity she just let missed.
As he walked in along with his usual crew consistent of Xander, Gunn and Doyle, there was obvious male predator domination when they walked in with glares from the men and carnal satisfaction from the women. Several women gave their seductive hellos to Angel as he and the others strolled to their usual spot that was always available for them because of the profits the Bronze created when Angel and company were there.
As they all sat down, Angel thought to himself, 'It's been awhile. Far too long. All because of Buffy. Not anymore though, not anymore.' His thoughts cut off by the several women swooning over him. As he flirtatiously flirted with them he couldn't help but yank his eyes immediately to the door where she, the person he was desperately trying to forget was there, so god damn beautiful in her mouth watering outfit. The combined leather halter top and leather mini skirt was so sinful he couldn't stop himself from thinking all the things we wanted to do to her.
"Fuck." Angel muttered.
"Noticed Buffy too I presume." Doyle chuckled.
"You have to admit Buffy does look real hot in her outfit Angie. You should see the looks she's getting from the guys in the room" Xander replied as he saw the scowl Angel gave to all the men who were drooling over Buffy's presence. Xander's eye though, was more occupied at watching Willow who accompanied Buffy and the rest of the usual crew of Faith and Cordelia.
Meanwhile.
As the girls walked into the Bronze they couldn't help but love the attention they got from the men except for Buffy.
"I can't believe you guys dragged me here! On the first day of school too." Buffy pouted to the girls. "I should be studying or something, instead of picking up guys."
Faith replied, "Oh come on B. Its only the first day anyways, it's not like we got any homework. Besides, we all need to chill and relax and have some fun."
"Oh I see the guys. There over there at the corner!" Willow pointed to where all the guys were watching them except Angel who was what Buffy saw was flirting shamelessly with the numerous women who flocked him. She couldn't help but feel the firing jealously she felt and wanted to strangle every one of those slutty bitches.
'This is a sad day.' She thought. How could she feel jealously over someone as low and deceiving as Angel? She should know better. She shook over the thoughts of him and his groupie and decided to study the place. It was dark and mangy but had a vibrant, mystifying energy surrounding it. The pulsating music pounded into her body and left a want of so many things throughout her life that was forbidden to her. For once in her life she was really free, free to do whatever she felt and wanted to do. All she wanted right now was to escape, escape the man who disappointed her in many ways and to just feel free.
The girls went over to where the guys were sitting at; all of them were paired except for Buffy and Angel. Buffy made sure she was far away from Angel and his groupie. She was watching the grinding bodies on the dance floor when her thoughts were interrupted by Angel.
"So Buffy, I want you to meet Darla." Angel said while snuggling close to Darla.
"Hi Darla. By the way Angel we've met. So how are you?" Buffy said cheerfully. She decided not to stoop to his level and wanted to be the better person out of it by not being spiteful.
"Buffy. I'm all better now that I'm with Angel here. We go way back if you know what I mean." Darla said as she gave Angel an intense kiss. Angel was caught off guard but kissed back menacingly to only make Buffy jealous. As Angel stopped he looked over to Buffy where she was to his dissatisfaction smiling at them. It hurt him like hell that she didn't care he was with other women.
Unbeknownst to Angel Buffy was fuming. But Buffy was one hell of a lot good at faking and pretending at things she didn't want people to see, her true emotions. She decided she had enough of watching Angel kiss face a women she hated violently and decided to leave.
"Well Angel, I'll leave to make sure you guys have your alone time. Have fun lover." She said smiling as she stood up along with Faith to go on the dance floor.
Angel felt all the stares he got from all of his friends. They couldn't believe what he just did. Gunn, Xander, and Doyle decided to strangle him when they were alone. They felt some justice seeing Angel's crushed face to Buffy's reaction when he was with Darla.
Elsewhere Buffy made sure she was in a position where Angel could see her dancing alongside with Faith and the gathering group of guys that were surrounding them. She let all her jealously, all her anger pulsate along with the grinding of the music. Dancing had always been an outlet for Buffy, to forget and to just enjoy the now. She couldn't help but get annoyed at the many guys she had to fend of that got too close to her. Faith on the other hand was just grinding with as much guys as she possibly could encounter.
Angel couldn't stand watching Buffy being watched hungrily by the stupid lil' boys that surrounded her. He wanted to kill every single one of the men that surrounded her, watching her curvaceous body move sensually and definitely invigorating to the music. All he wanted to do was rip off the very little clothes she was wearing to begin with and take her right there. God he hated her. He hated how much power she had over him. It disgusted him. He took Darla who was on his lap kissing him all over his neck and took her to the dance floor. He made sure he was near Buffy while he grinding venomously with Darla. While he was grinding with Darla, all he could think of was Buffy. Pretending he was the one with Buffy, and that she was the one who wanted him, not Darla.
Fortunately for Buffy, she didn't see them until she got off the dance floor and sat down. When she noticed Angel was gone she scanned the dance floor until she saw him literally mating with Darla. She shook her head and decided to call it an evening. She couldn't take anymore of this. As she went to grab her coat, her thoughts were stopped by Doyle who was cuddling with Cordelia.
"Buffy. Leaving so soon? Why don't you stay?" Doyle asked.
"I'm tired. I think I did enough dancing for the night. I think I'll head out to the gym to work out. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Buffy replied as she waved goodbye. She was determine not to look at Angel and swiftly walked out. But not before she got many phone numbers and blushing compliments being yelled at her on her way out.
Angel couldn't help but watch Buffy as she left and couldn't help feel relieved but saddened by her leaving. God, he was torn on what to do during the rest of the year he was gonna be with Buffy. He couldn't just idly ignore her for the whole year. How could everything turn out so wrong?
*Hope you guys are somewhat satisfied with this long overdue chapter. It's always nice to have reviews. Gives me more energy to write more.
