By: CherryTwister
Angel woke up early the next day. Connor was snoring in his sleep, which was annoying Angel, so he got up. He still had three hours until he had to go to his first day on the job. Angel walked out of the motel room and started towards the beach.
Once he got to the beach there were more surfers then normal that early in the morning. The wind was blowing hard and the clouds were starting to darken. Angel could tell this was the surf before a storm. He scanned the waves trying to spot Spike, Xander, or Oz. He couldn't see any of them, but he did see Buffy's boyfriend catching an awesome wave, he wished he could have gotten. His mind drifted back to Buffy once he saw her boyfriend. He looked for her, but only found the others from Riley's crew.
After watching the surfers with envy Angel decided he better started walking towards the North Shore Surf Shop. As he made his way to the shop it started raining lightly. When Angel walked into the shop, it was quiet and he noticed Buffy restocking surfing wax in the corner. He tapped her shoulder and she turned around and frowned at him.
"Start stacking." She mumbled and handed him a box of wax. He did what she told and stayed quiet. After awhile of stacking wax with Buffy not even looking at him. He couldn't take it anymore and knew it was time to apology.
"Buffy, I just want to say I'm sorry about yesterday, I was out of line. If you don't want to tell me what your boyfriend said then that's your business." He told her as he stacked the last wax and faced her side.
"Your right, you were out of line." Buffy said still not looking at him. Angel frowned; he didn't want Buffy to stay mad at him.
"But I forgive you." She turned to face him with a smile and Angel's heart leaped. She walked over to the trashcan and threw away the empty wax box a walked back to Angel.
"We got off to a bad start, I'm Buffy Summers." She said and offered her hand to him.
"Angel O'Connor," He said and took her hand.
"So Angel, did you just move here?" Buffy asked trying to start a friendly conversation.
"You could say that." He said, deciding he really didn't know how long Connor and him would be in Sunnydale.
"Well then I guess I'll be seeing you around lot." She smiled at him and he started to like the idea of seeing her everyday.
"Looks like it." He winked at her.
Buffy and Angel talked and restocked things for the store for about an hour until it started to rain really hard and lightening lit up the sky. Once the lightning and thunder started all the surfers flocked into the store. When they couldn't surf, the surfers hung out in North Shore Surf Shop. A lot of them greeted Buffy when they walked in and went to look at the gear.
"Hey, baby." A voice greeted Buffy. Angel didn't even look up because he knew it was Riley. Riley walked up to Buffy giving her a kiss and pulled her into an embrace. Angel looked away telling him self, he wasn't jealous.
"Good to see you too, Riley." Buffy said uneasy and pushed Riley away. Riley laughed and turned to Angel with a grin.
"Well, look who it is. You must be the new guy. I'm Riley." He announced to Angel, but turned back to Buffy showing he didn't give a damn about getting Angel's name. Angel didn't seem to care though, giving Riley his name would be he actually had to talk to the bastard.
"Hey, Buffy how much is the Sharp Eye in the back?" A guy yelled to Buffy from behind them.
"I'll be right back." Buffy stated and stared at Riley. Her glaze stayed on Riley for a second as a warning not to start anything with Angel, while she was gone. Then Buffy spun around and went into the back of the shop.
"Got a great ass on her, doesn't she?" Riley asked just daring Angel to answer. Angel wanted so badly to break Riley's nose, but kept his rage in not wanting to cause a scene. Angel ignored Riley's question and started to walk towards the cash register. Riley stopped Angel half way to the cash register, stepping in font of him sending Angel a cold stare.
"You stay away from her." Riley threatened Angel. Angel sighed Riley didn't frighten him. He had been through enough shit in his life to know not to fear a blond All-American, rich boy.
The threat had taken Angel by surprise. Sure, he liked Buffy, but he never saw a serious relationship in his future.
"Did you hear me, punk?" Riley spit out and pushed his finger into Angel chest. Finally Angel had enough of staying quiet.
"Was the suppose to be a threat?" He asked coolly and pushed Riley's finger away.
"Maybe," Riley said giving him an evil grin.
"I'm just going to let you know that you really suck at threatening people." He told Riley and smiled. Riley just stood there stunned. Before Riley had time to think of a come back Buffy came up from behind them.
"Angel, can you check Richard out for the Sharp Eye." Buffy told Angel and he just nodded.
"I'll see you later, baby." Riley said and kissed Buffy goodbye. Then he walked out of the North Shore Surf Shop. Buffy came up from behind Angel once he was done checking out Richard.
"I'm so proud of you. You gave the right change back." She joked, but frowned once she saw the serious look on his face.
"What's wrong?" She asked him. Buffy liked having Angel as a friend and she was already starting to worry about his wellbeing.
"Your boyfriend doesn't seeming to be very fond of me." Angel finally announced. He wasn't sure why he even cared about what the jerk thought, but he did really wanted to know what the Riley guy had against him.
"Riley doesn't like anyone new. He has this thing against outsiders. He thinks people are going to steal his surf or something." Buffy shrugged, she really didn't know how her boyfriend's mind worked.
"That makes me feel so much better." Angel joked.
"Just so theirs no hard feelings when we get off work I'll buy you ice cream." Buffy winked. Angel smiled down at her. He was glad that she wasn't still mad at him for the day before.
"You think your boyfriend will get jealous?" Angel teased.
"Riley can think what he wants." Buffy said obviously not wanting to talk about Riley anymore and Angel couldn't be anymore happier about it.
AN: Sorry, its been so long! I know I'm writing Riley as a jerk in this story, but I did it for the plot line. Anyway I think I'm going to put Giles in the next chapter and I'm going to try and have Angel doing more surfing in the next chapter too.
