"Hey Buff you wanna go for a swim?" Angel said getting up from his laying
position on the blanket. They were at the beach relaxing with Connor and
some of his friends who were having a chicken fight in the water.
Buffy looked up at Angel. She really wasn't into the water aspect of things since the night she died. She still had a hard time being in the shower long. "Umm. I think I'll just work on my tan." She said laying back down, trying to hide her fear from him.
"Come on Buff. You're nice and golden. Take a dip with me. Please?" He said with a slight pout.
Buffy hated denying him things when he pouted but she really didn't feel comfortable in the water. "Angel, I'm sorry. I just. I don't want to." She told him. She wanted to explain it to him but she wasn't sure she could tell him that she had died.
"How come? You love the water." He said sitting back down next to her.
"I just don't feel swimmy today." She said sitting up with him. "Why don't you go in and take a dip?" She suggested.
"It's no fun without my partner." He said with a smirk.
"Angel I really don't wanna." She said glancing at the water then back.
Angel noticed something in her eyes he hadn't seen in them in so long. Fear. "Buffy what's wrong?" He asked.
Buffy's head shot up and looked at him. "What do you mean?"
"What's wrong?"
"Angel noth.."
"Buffy don't lie to me. You can't. I know some things up so just tell me." He persisted, cutting her off.
"Angel, nothing's wrong. I'm fine. I just don't want to go swimming." She said laying back down hoping he wouldn't push the subject any more.
"You're hiding something from me and believe me when I say I'll find out what it is before you head home." He said getting up and heading to the ocean.
Buffy followed him with her eyes. "Great." She mumbled. She hated lying to him but there was no way that she could tell her best friend that she had died. Even though there was nothing he could do to stop it, he would still blame himself. She just knew it, she knew HIM. She sighed heavily and flopped back down on the blanket.
