Chapter 10
Buffy was greeted by the loud music assualting her ears when she walked into the Bronze. The loud music was "Rumors" by Lindsey Lohan. Normally Buffy would have wanted to get on to the dance floor and dance to one of her favorite songs, but realizing she'd know nobody else out there made her stay where she was. That is until she saw Willow waving her over from one of the tables.
"Did you have any trouble finding the place?" Willow asked concerned.
"I'd find it impossible to get lost in a town so far," Buffy said jokingly.
"Don't I know it," said a deep voice from behind Buffy.
Turning around, Buffy looked right up into the face that belonged to the voice. And wouldn't you know it, it was Angel.
"I was hoping I'd see you here," Angel said almost shyly,
"You were?" Buffy asked not believing him.
"Yah," Angel said before turning to Willow.
"Do you mind if I sit with you guys?" Angel asked Willow, finally tearing his eyes off of Buffy.
"Sure go right ahead," Willow answered surprised that he had asked her permission.
"Cool, but before I sit down can I get you ladies something to drink?"
"A cherry coke would be great, thanks," Buffy answered sweetly.
"Okay, I'll be right back. Anything for you Willow?"
"Oh, no thanks." Willow answered again surprised he had asked her.
"Are you and Angel here on a date?" Willow asked Buffy after angel walked away to the bar.
"No, I wasn't even sure he'd be here."
Angel sat Buffy's drink down in front of her, wrapped his arms around her from behind, and whispered in her ear, "Dance with me?"
Buffy's first thought was to move away from him and be offended by the way he just wrapped his arms around her. "I mean come on," she thought to herself, "we just met." But, all she found herself doing was meekly nodding her head yes. She just couldn't find it in her to say no. No matter how much she told herself to keep her future in mind, she just couldn't. The only thing she could think of, was how great it felt being in Angel's arms, So, she let him lead her out to the dance floor, him never letting go of her hand. And just as they got out there a slow song song came on and they danced their first dance to Kaci and Jojo's, All My Life.
Angel could barely form a coherent thought. He was holding Buffy in his arms and he still couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask her dance. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and in his mind compared to her he was nothing. Holding her in his arms was the only thing he could think about from the moment he first saw her. And now, it was happening. He was holding her close as they danced. His arms tightened around her, and all he could think was how much he never wanted to let her go.

Authors note - So sorry it took so long. And I know its short but my mind is drawing a blank. Should I just leave it here or should I go on? If I go on... any ideas?
