Angel and buffy started to fidget until Angel finally spoke, "This is just a little more awkward."
Buffy nodded, "You want some more tea? I have to clean up the glass anyway."
Angel nodded, "I'll come help you."
Buffy nodded and they slowly made their way to the kitchen.
-Kitchen-
When buffy and Angel made it to the kitchen Buffy put her cup on the table before walking straight to the glass. Angel walked towards the tea kettle and poured a small cup of tea before sitting at the table. Even though both people were occupied the silence was killing them.
So when Buffy started throwing out the glass Angel finally spoke, "So why didn't you tell Xander you were at your dad's?"
Buffy paused before spilling the glass into the garbage. After the small pause she finally answered, "He would of told Dawn and Dawn would of been all over my case if she knew I was at my dad's and she couldn't come."
Angel nodded and another silence overtook the room as Buffy continued to clean up the glass she threw and Angel continued to sip his tea. After a little while Angel was again the one to open conversation, "So, where do we go from here?"
Buffy shrugged, "Tomorrow we really talk to Drusilla, do a little research and if we don't find anything too dire I go back to Sunnydale tomorrow night."
Angel tried to hide his sadness with another question, "And if we do find something?"
Buffy sat down at the table after she finished cleaning the glass and sighed, "Then I can take Dawn and Xander to my dad's so we won't impose too much. We'll stay in L.A but out of your guys' way."
Angel shook his head, "You guys can stay. You won't be imposing."
Buffy actually smiled, "So we can continue to act like we're not completely uncomfortable?"
Angel sighed, "You're always the one who brings up what people try to hide."
Buffy shrugged, "It's what i do."
"That doesn't mean you can't stay here. If you guys do stay past tomorrow it will be easier if all the superheroes stay in one place."
Buffy giggled a little bit, "You just called us all superheroes."
Angel smiled back, "Yeah well if we save the world I think it's time we got a label." He paused a few seconds before continuing, "Don't change the subject."
Buffy sighed, "If we need to stay I guess we can. I mean Dawn will pretty much shoot me for leaving. I think she still has a small crush on you."
Angel smiled and would of blushed if he could, "Well then..."
Buffy smiled and stood up to pour herself somemore tea. "She used to have this big crush on Xander but then she found out he was still all in love with me, then she had this big crush on Spike and that just blew up in her face and of course there was you. Since we're not dating I'm pretty sure she'll find all these excuses just to be around you."
Angel smiled and looked down, "That doesn't bother you?"
Buffy shrugged, "I'm pretty sure you're not her type."
"Why is that?"
Buffy smiled, "You're like 348 years older then her and..." Buffy tried to be subtle when she sat down again, "...you have Cordy."
Angel couldn't help but laugh a little bit, "I don't have Cordy."
Buffy looked down and blushed, "Well...earlier..."
Angel shook his head, "Nice attempt at casual."
Buffy shook her head, "At least we got that feeling uncomfortable thing out of the way." Angel nodded but Buffy was still defenitely curious, "So since we have been talking all about me lately..."
Angel nodded and sighed as he got ready for his big explanation, "Cordy and I are kind of hard to explain. We didn't even know we felt anything until the night Conner and Justine..."
Buffy nodded finally realizing it, "You and Cordy were going to tell each other, that night."
Angel nodded, "Now a bunch of things are going on and we haven't even talked about it yet."
Buffy nodded obviously hurt. "Wow."
Her one worded reaction kind of made Angel nervous and a little guilty. His voice softened to his serious heart melting one when he spoke finally, "What are you thinking?"
Buffy shrugged, "Oh the usual. Can't believe it's Cordy, how could you contradict everything you said the day you broke up with me, how much everything's changed, if I'm going to get in the way of anything happening between you two and at least we both finally moved on."
Angel couldn't believe how open and right out she said that. It was going to be a long night with a long talk. Well he thought so before the knock sounded from the enterence wall. When Angel turned around Conner stood in front of him. Buffy stood up obviously uncomfortable, "Well it's late and I should probably get to bed."
Buffy stood and started walking out the door but Angel sighed, "You don't just get to say something like that and walk away buffy."
Buffy smiled and turned around, "Any explanation of what i said would do no good. There's nothing you can say that would change my thoughts at that moment. Thanks for telling me though. Good night Angel." She stared at Conner and smiled so Angel couldn't see, "Good night Conner."
Conner nodded and both men watched her walk out of the kitchen. Angel smiled at his son sarcastically, "What could you possibly want?"
Conner looked down and whispered, "To apologize."
Angel was left with shock and confusion written all over his face.
