Faith stood in the elevator next Angel. There room was on the 12th floor.
Angel seemed to be almost nervous and on edge. What else was new? She felt
the sliver chain of her necklace against her neck. It was the one Angel had
given her on her birthday. She still felt embarrassed about running out
like that when he gave it to her. She had connected him to Ryan instantly
when he gave it to her. She had actually thought that he wanted something
from her. That would have been stupid enough but that wasn't the only time
she had thought that. There were times that she was almost sure that he had
shown interest in her. That was even more ridiculous. It might have been
her own wishful thinking more then anything else. Even she had to admit he
was drop dead gorgeous. But that was before, this is now and they were to
close of friends to do anything else. She just waited until there was a
small 'ding' and the doors slid open.
Angel looked around in the lobby. He and Faith had put there bags in the room and she wanted to go to the casino. They had split up and hour ago to go to different places. He thought he heard her say something about poker. He went over to the bar and asked for a drink. The bartender was a young red headed woman who winked at him and started to flirt with him. He got up and left. Flirtation made him nervous. Except for Faith's flirting, but that was just for fun. Right? Maybe it wasn't.....no. NO. It was just for fun. For the sake of his own sanity and for the love of all that's holy, it's just for fun. Nothing was going to change his mind from that.
Faith sat at a poker table. Royal Flush. The night was definitely going her way. The man next to her smiled at her. He wanted her. She already knew that. She knew that look. She just smiled back seductively. Lead him on a little. That was always fun. She put her cards down. She won again. Now two hundred dollars. She smiled, took the winnings and walked away. Might as well leave while she was ahead. She looked at the bar to see Angel sitting at a table by himself with the pretty bartender standing 10 feet away behind the bar starring at him like she had never seen a man before in her life. Might as well put him out of his misery.
Angel sat at his table taking another sip of his drink. His back was turned but he could still feel the woman's stare. Suddenly he felt two hands cover his eyes and a head rest on the top his own head.
"Guess who?" came a very familiar woman's voice in a mocking seductive tone.
"Hello Faith." He said in a monotone voice. She gave him a small kiss on his check and sat down next to him with her arms around his neck.
"What are you doing?!" Angel said in a VERY shocked tone. She had no idea how nervous she was making him.
"Trying to make your new girlfriend jealous." She said speaking of the now pissed of bartender while nuzzling her face into his neck.
Angel went stiff as a board. HE hated admitting it but he loved this. She was just joking around though. What if she wasn't? Could they be together? There was that whole curse thing. But there was that dream. The one weeks ago with the powers that be. They said he was closer to being human. Did that mean he could be happy without losing his soul?
Wait. Did that mean IF Faith wanted to be with him...he wanted to be with her? Did that mean he wanted to be with her right now? For the millionth time Cordelia's words came back to him. 'I've seen the way you look at her'
"Angel?" Faith said with some worry in her voice. "Angel you okay? You knid of zoned out on me." She said shaking him slightly.
Angel blinked a few times in surprise. "Yeah. I'm....here."
"You sure your okay?"
"Yeah." He said still trying to figure things out.
"How many of these drinks have you had?" she said laughing.
"This is my first one." He said with a smile.
"I think we can fix that." She said ordering another drink.
Okay so how do like this chapter? To abrupt? I have some ideas but I'm not sure what ones will work so I'm trying to decide.
