"You got a board." Buffy noticed as Angel came up behind her with a blue surfboard in his hands. She was happy to see him.
"Giles." He muttered as he came up beside her.
"What's Giles up to? I haven't seen him in forever." She was a little surprised to hear his name. She hadn't seen Giles in a long time. When she was young he was like her uncle. He taught her how to surf. He was another person she blew off since she started dating Riley.
"He greeted me with a shotgun." Angel shrugged and walked past her and put his feet in the water.
"Sounds like him. I'm surprised he let you use one of his boards." She stated as Angel stared out into the blue ocean. The waves were crushing against the beach giving life and sound to the otherwise quiet beach that early in the morning.
"Me too." Angel mumbled and he turned to face Buffy.
"Well, what are we doing here talking? Let's get some waves in before we have to go to work." She grinned and playfully hit his arm. He laughed and they both got into the water. They paddled a little offshore and gave each other a turn at catching a wave. They had both caught several awesome waves before deciding to take a break.
"Your not bad." She said meaning his surfing, but in her mind she was thinking about his abs. She forced her eyes on his face and not his hard abs.
"Thanks." He grinned and ran his hand through his wet hair. His grinned faded once he saw Riley and his friends pull a car up next to the beach.
Riley had a deadly look on his face once he spotted Buffy and Angel on the beach.
"What the hell is going on?" Riley shouted at both of them as he approached them on the beach. Graham and Forrest were close behind Riley.
"Hi, Riley." Buffy said uneasy and looked over at Angel.
"Didn't I tell you to stay away from my girlfriend?" Riley yelled at Angel. Then Riley gave Angel a rough shove. Buffy gasped, she couldn't believe Riley did that. He was crossing the line, when he pushed Angel.
"Don't touch me." Angel stated coldly and stared at Riley. Buffy had never heard such coldness in Angel's voice before. It scared her a little.
"Aww, what does the Punk not like being touched." Riley grinned and winked at Buffy. Then Angel's fist came in contact with Riley's nose. Buffy heard a loud smash and knew Riley's nose was broken. Riley tried to punch him back, but missed. Before Buffy could blink they were both rolling around in the sand. Graham and Forrest were cheering Riley on. Riley kicked Angel a few times in the stomach and gave him a bloody lip. Angel hit Riley in the eye and got up. Riley groaned once before getting up too.
Angel started to walk away and Buffy ran after him. She put her arms around him and asked if he was okay.
"What the hell, Buff? Are you cheating on me? Slut." Riley yelled at her as he tried to stop the blood that was coming out of his nose. Graham and Forrest tried to help him, but he pushed them away.
Angel was ready to go at Riley again for calling Buffy a slut.
"Don't call me a slut!" Buffy yelled athim and let go of Angel.
"We're over!" She told Riley and walked ahead of Angel.
"You'll get tired of that Punk and come crawling back to me." Riley yelled back at her, but by then she was too far to hear it.
"Have a nice day." Buffy gave the customer his change and smiled. She had hoped work would keep her mind off Riley and the event at the beach, but it hadn't. It also didn't help that Angel was in the same room as her helping a customer.
He had already apologized to her. Saying he had gone too far by punching Riley. She could see in his eyes that he wasn't really sorry. He just wanted to please her. Which she found very sweet in an odd way. Anyway he didn't have to apologize, Riley deserved it.
"I think I'm getting the hang of this." Angel smiled as a satisfied customer left the shop. Buffy just smiled at him.
"What's wrong?" He wondered since Buffy was unusually quiet. Her smile grew at his question. Riley never cared about her feelings like Angel does, she thought.
"Nothing," She mumbled and looked around the empty store. She sighed and looked up at him.
"Is this about Riley? Because I said I was s-," He started to say, but Buffy cut him off.
"I know you did. He deserved a bloody nose." She told him, which made him grin. He decided not to dig deeper into the subject. He hoped if something was wrong she would tell him. Though he did have one question he was dieing to ask her.
"What I want to know is why were you with that jerk for so long?" He questioned looking her in the eye, hoping for a straight answer. A jerk like Riley didn't deserve a girlfriend like Buffy. She was too good for Riley. She was also too good for him, Angel thought.
Buffy just shrugged at his question. She didn't really know why she stayed with Riley for so long. That was a question she often asked herself. The only reason she came up with was that if she dumped Riley she would be alone. Being alone wasn't something she had to fear anymore, now Angel was in Sunnydale.
"How about we go surfing again tomorrow morning?" Buffy suggested to Angel. She enjoyed hanging out with Angel that morning and would have liked to do it again, minus Riley. She also hoped to get to know Angel a little better.
"Sounds good to me." He agreed.
"I can pick you up. Where do you live?" She question. Then Angel gave her the address and name of the motel Connor and him were staying at.
"You live in a motel?" She wondered and gave him an odd look.
"Don't ask." He sighed.
"Okay, what room?" Buffy asked in a cheerful voice that Angel just have to love. Angel thought about telling her room eight. Then he decided against telling her the room number once Connor's name flashed in his mind. He didn't want Buffy to met his dad. Not now. Not ever.
"I'll wait for you in the parking lot. Seven?" He said quickly hoping she would agree.
"Seven it is." Buffy gave him a slight smile.
AN: Sorry, for the wait. Next chapter Willow is coming in.
