Hey guys! I just watched the ending of Angel. That's the ending? Doesn't it seem like there should be more? And thank you to The Shadower, I didn't know I was blocking anonymous reviews. Thanks!

EARLIER

"So what do you think?" Angel asked Lorne.

"About what?"

"What do you mean what about? We have been talking about the same thing for the last 10 minutes! Look I'll sum it up for you, did you read that Torry guy that was in here earlier, and if you did, what the hell did you see?"

"Oh, you mean that handsome young fella with Faith on the brain."

"Exactl...How did you know about Faith?" Angel said thinking about what Lorne had just said.

"Well your charming young Torrys head was filled with tons of interesting facts on your dark slayer beauty. She is quite the looker isn't she?" Lorne said as Angel gave him a stone cold glare. "Sorry, didn't know you liked her so much"

"I..I don't! I....just, wait, what? Faith on the brain, facts, what?"

"Well he didn't actually sing for me, but on the way out, after you almost started a brawl with him, he was humming a little tune. Don't think he knew I could hear him. Anyway I got a good look at his mind. Faith seems to be the dominant issue there."

"What's he going to do with her?" Angel asked demandingly. Starting to like this conversation less and less.

"Thing about that is, I have absolutely no idea. I could see his immediate thoughts and information behind them but that was it."

"So you have absolutely no idea what he is planning to do with her?"

"No idea at all." Lorne said simple leaning back in his chair.



Present

Angel sat in a comfy arm chair at the side of his bedroom, thinking deeply of the conversation he had had with Lorne earlier that day. Everything about this guy kept getting, worse and worse. Couldn't Faith see that? No of course not. She never had any reasons to be suspicious; the only thing he'd ever been to her was charming. What was it about him though? The thought ended as he heard Faith quietly enter the room.

"Hey Angel you almost ready to go?" Faith said looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Go?" Angel said looking at her with a confused look.

The sunny smile she wore on her face suddenly disappeared. "The mall, remember? If you don't want go..."

"NO! I want to go! I just drifted off for minute. Come on, I'm completely ready." He said standing up smiling.

Faith looked at him for a moment as her own smile returned to her lips. "Okay, we'll take your car"



At a food court in the Wayside mall of Los Angles, three hours later...

"Faith can we go somewhere else? We've been doing this for hours!" said Angel in an uncharacteristic whine.

"Hey, this was your idea buddy. Besides, I'M having fun." Said Faith as they left the sixth store they had been to, with her carrying three bags and him behind her carrying four. "Hey didn't you say you wanted to go to that magic store to get supplies and books or something?"

"Yeah I thought the clothes part wouldn't take this long though. Why don't you go ahead and you can meet me there when you're done?"

"Sure, I'll hurry up; I should be there in a half hour. The only things I need to get still are a swimsuit, and something to sleep in." Faith said walking away.

'Damn' Angel thought to himself. The only shopping I wouldn't mind doing. I'd better get to that magic store' Angel that trying to get the image of Faith in a bikini out of his head.

?? 'Well now that that's done.' Faith thought to herself as she walked away with two new bags. She was really happy. Not that that would be a big deal for most people, but she had never really gone shopping like this before. It was usually just buy a cheap shirt and leave or shop lift, which was something she wasn't really proud of. Just another thing to add to her already bad resume. What could she say, at the time she was to young to get any legitimate job and there was no one who cared enough to see if she had any decent clothes or if she was even alive. But never mind that. Thinking about her childhood was not something she really liked to do. For the present time she was happy, and didn't really want the night to end. She was glad Angel came up with this idea. He was really sweet if not a little high strung. He was so protective. But still she could see why Buffy loved him. Not to mention to top it all off he was really handsome. Buffy and Angel. She had meet both of them at separate times but both were only thinking of the other when she did. He would always love her. She snapped out of her momentary slum and came back to reality. Angel's over protectiveness. That was what she had been thinking about. 'I wonder how he'll act when I tell him that I'm going out with Torry tomorrow night.' She thought. Torry. She had to admit that he was handsome, but he was more then that. She had never really had a friend that knew her like he did, and understood her. There was Angel, but he saw her more as a charity case. Someone to help until they could go on there own, just like all the others. Torry was that guy she always wanted. The one who cared about her, and would always be there. Maybe the two of them could be together. She would love that. He always knew how she felt, sometimes she could swear he could even read her thoughts. She had just bought a new dress for tomorrow and hoped Angel wouldn't mind. She'd never really gone on a date before, things like dates yes but not the whole nice restaurant, dress and kiss good night deal. She couldn't wait.



Angel was sitting in the lobby drinking a cup of blood. Another quiet day. Not that he minded but it was unusual. Wesley and Cordelia were opening up to Faith more, though slowly and cautiously. Things were going better then ever. He heard a door close quietly up stairs, Faith must be up he turned around in his chair to see she come down the stairs in a beautiful mid- thigh black dress. Her hair was down and had been slightly curled. She look stunningly beautiful.

"Faith! You look great!" That had to be the understatement of the year. "Why are you so dressed up?" he asked standing up.

"Oh, I'm going out on a date tonight......with Torry." She said in a quiet voice that didn't really suit her.

The wide smile that Angle had been wearing on his face disappeared completely.
