After work Angel walked long the sidewalk staring out into the ocean. It was still raining, but it didn't seem to brother Angel. Then he turned down a road and started walking towards the motel, though he was walking very slowly. He studied every house he passed wishing one day he would have a stable home. He came to a halt when he saw a run down house on the water. Though it wasn't the house that caught his attention it was the surfboards in the front yard. There were mainly short boards, but a few long boards in the mix. Angel wondered why anyone would leave the boards in there front yard. The fence door was slightly open and Angel was tempted. He walked into the yard and went right to a blue short board.
"Hey, kid!" A man's strong voice yelled at him. Angel immediately spun around to where the voice was coming from. There was an older, British man with a shotgun in his hands aiming at Angel. Angel didn't move a muscle and just stared at the gun.
"Move away from the boards." The man growled roughly and Angel just stared. After a few second he got his common sense back and moved away from the boards. Angel decided the man must be the owner of the boards.
"What don't you understand about 'Private Property?" The man asked and pointed at the sign on the fence. Angel sighed realizing he was to dazed by the boards to see the sign.
"I didn't see it." Angel said truthfully, but the man didn't seem to believe him.
"Who are you boy? I've never seen you around here." The man stated as he studied him.
"Angel," He told the man his name.
"Well, you aren't such an Angel are you, now get off my property." The old man said and grabbed Angel by the shoulder. Angel's size didn't seem to effect the old man. Once he grabbed Angel's shoulder he saw a scar on it.
"How did you get that?" The old man stopped and looked at the cut. Angel didn't say anything; he didn't like to think about the scar.
"Hit a reef pretty hard didn't you?" The old man said and took Angel by surprise. Angel didn't know how he knew, but he pulled his shoulder away from the mans grip.
"Where did you use to live?" The old man asked knowing he couldn't have hit a reef in Sunnydale.
"Hawaii." Angel said and looked down at the ground. He didn't think much about Hawaii and his mother, but bits and pieces of life there were coming back to him.
"Got some great waves there." The man nodded and smiled at Angel.
"I'm Giles." The old man said decided he didn't think Angel was half bad.
"So how do you like the waves in Sunnydale?" Giles asked and Angel could tell he hasn't to talked to anyone about surfing in awhile and was eager to talk about it.
"Their not as good as Hawaii's, though I really haven't surfed the waves here very much." Angel shrugged thinking he really hadn't surfed in awhile and he felt bad always using Spike's board. When he said he hadn't surfed there very much Giles looked at him like he had sinned.
"I don't have a board." He explained to Giles.
"Maybe you could give that one a try." Giles grinned at pointed to the blue board Angel had his eye on. Angel's smile grew, as he couldn't believe his luck. Luck was something new to him, but since Buffy he has been getting a lot of new feelings.
"But you can't keep it, just borrow." Giles said very quickly as he saw Angel's eye light up. Angel nodded in agreement; he would be lucky enough just to have a board to ride.
"Come back for it tomorrow, the weather isn't so good today and I'd like to keep all my boards in one piece." Giles said as thunder rumbled through the sky. Giles set his gun down and looked at the sky, Angel took that as a clue to leave.
Angel walked out of the yard leaving Giles looking up at the sky. He made his way back to the motel. He slowly opened the room's door, not wanting to draw attention to himself if his father was drunk. Once he had gotten completely in the room he noticed his father wasn't even in the room. He let out a breath of relief. He knew his father was up to something, but the longer it'll take him to find out the better. Angel walked over the cooler, which had been their refrigerator. He found a coke under all the beers. Then he lay back on the bed and opened his coke. He quietly listened to the thunder and the rain hitting the roof, thinking of better times.
The wind whipped Buffy's blonde hair, as she got out of her car. She got to the beach early, so she would have time to get some waves in before she had to go to work and she needed time to think.
Before going out into the surf, she sat down on the beach looking at the waves. She use to think her life was so perfect and now it seemed to be following down around her. Her parents are always fighting, her friends never talk to her, and her boyfriend is always trying to control her. Right now in her life she felt closest to Angel and she didn't even know him. She felt a real connected to him and she really wanted to be friends with him. Buffy had almost screwed that friendship up when she decided to listen to Riley. He was telling her that Angel was some kind of drug dealer that came to Sunnydale to start a gang; she wasn't sure why Riley was feeding her all this crap. She didn't know what was up with Riley lately; they had been fighting about everything.
She missed her friends most of all. She had blown Willow off when she had started dating Riley. Buffy just started to talk to her again, but Willow didn't want to talk to her. She didn't blame Willow though, she had been a real bitch to her.
"Hey," Buffy heard some one call her. She turned away from the ocean to see Angel coming up behind her. He had a board in his hand and he was smiling at her.
"Hey," She smiled at him as he stood over her.
AN: Been awhile!
