"Tory?" Faith asks as she walked through the door way. "What are you doing here?" she asked still wondering how he had gotten into her apartment. "Faith!" he said smiling at her. "I called four times but you didn't answer and I got worried and came over, I just got here." He said giving her a quick friendly hug. Still standing in the door way Angel watched the whole confrontation through narrowed eyes. "Oh, I was fine just out." She said smiling. He could be so sweet sometimes. Suddenly she remembered Angel standing quietly in the door way. "Oh! Tory this is Angel, he's an old friend and I ran into him and we..went out to eat. Angel this is Torry." "Hi." Torry said giving an odd look to him almost like he remembered him. "Hey." Angel said giving him the best smile he could under the circumstances. An uneasy silence filled the entire room as the two men continued to stare at the other as Faith rocked nervously on her feet. Suddenly she clapped her hands together. "So yeah,..Angel you were going to help me with my clothes?" "Yeah I am." He said finally taking his eyes of Torry and walking behind Faith for the dresser pushed up against the wall. "Clothes?" Torry asked giving Angel a glare. "Yeah, Angel just bought this hotel across town and he needs some one to help clean it up and I need some place to stay while I look for a place of mine own." "Oh." He said with a very disdained tone, eyes boring into the back of Angel's head unable to see the smile he was wearing on his face while he took Faiths clothes out of the dresser.
The soft tone of a cell phone began to ring from Torrys pocket. "I've got to go." He said quickly as he left. 'Good.' Angel thought. He'd much rather be alone with Faith any way. "So" Faith said turning her attention to Angel. "So are we almost ready to go?" Not wanting to be here if Torry came back. Together they had packed all of Faiths clothes into boxes and put them into the back seat of the car and they were both driving back to the hotel. "So, What you think of Torry?" Asked Faith not noticing that the smile completely disappeared from Angels face. "He was okay. He seems kinda creepy." 'Not to mention the fact that I could be so much better for you its not even funny' he said keeping that last thought to himself. "So....How's Buffy?" she asked slowly trying to bring up the subject. "She's fine. She and that army guy are still together." He said with some bitterness in his voice. Faith had slept with him to, true she was just trying know what it was like to be loved and to have people who cared about her, but that made him feel worse. 'I wonder if she ever wants real love' He would be happy to give it to her. It had been a long time since he had gushed over anyone.

? "So what are we doing here again?" Faith said as she looked around the human and demon infested bar. "Hey we just wanted to be sure you don't turn back into phyco bitch, like last time." Cordy said giving the slayer a harsh glare. "Okay what do I have to do? Sing?" said Faith ignoring the comment. "Yeah I'll go talk to Lorne for a second. You guys go get a table." Said Angel as he walkover to the green demon. "Hey Angel face!" Whose the dark beauty?" "That's Faith he said looking around to make sure she was alright. "You like her, don't you?" said a deeply annoyed voice. Angel snapped around to see Tory standing behind him.

Hey everybody! Sorry I haven't written in awhile. I 've been working on my other stories too. What do you think of my story so far? To sappy? Not enough action? Give me suggestions of what you want to see! Oh, and for A/f pairing, try reading Firecracker, 17Whatever and possibly the Vessel depending on how it ends.
