I do not own Angel. End of subject.
" Aaaannnnnggggeeeellllll...!" Spike whined, following Angel into Wesley's office. "Please! Please, please, please, please, please, please!!!!"
"No, no, no, no, and for the last time, NO!" Angel replied, dropping a pile of papers on the desk in front of him. "I need these done and on my desk by tomorrow morning." He turned to leave.
"Angel!!! Please I need to go to Italy!!" Spike plead again, as he followed Angel out of the office, then added a, "later, Wes."
"Bye." Wesley waved once, starting to go through the things Angel put on his desk. ' He could at least have the courtesy to say hello, or good bye... Spike is better to me than him...' Wes thought to himself. 'Then again, he's still probably angry with me or taking Connor...' He sighed. 'He has every right to hate me...'
"Hey, Wes," Lorne walked into the room. "Are you okay?" He asked with care.
"Yeah, I'm fine. And I'm not singing. So, can I help you with something...?" Wes looked up at the green Pylean.
"Actually, yeah. I have this song stuck in my head, but I forgot the tune to it.....can you help me?" Lorne asked.
"Sure.." Wes sighed. "What's the name of the song?"
"Thanks, Wes....the song is called, "Dance with my Father."
"Well," Wes sighed. "It goes like this,
If I could get,
Just one more chance,
One more walk,
One more dance with him,
I'd play a song that would never ever end,
How I'd love, love, love, to dance with my Father,
Again." Wes sang, than looked at Lorne, whom had a thoughtful look on his face. ' I'm an idiot.' Wes thought, realizing that he had just allowed Lorne to read him, and his mood. "You just read me, didn't you?"
"Wes, you don't have to worry. Angel is still your friend. He thinks of you like family. Don't worry about it." Lorne smiled.
"If I wanted to hear what you think, I would have asked you. Now get out of my office." Wesley frowned. Lorne did as he was told, and Wesley closed the door behind him, then sat down at his desk, and tried to bury himself in work. Finding that he couldn't, he decided to take a walk, and went outside.
It was cold outside, and obviously about to rain. Wes walked out into the cold, and walked into the alley behind Wolfram and Hart. There where a few bums, and probably vampires, but Wes wasn't interested in them. He just wanted to clear his mind from Connor and Angel.
"Hey, mister, can you spare a few bucks?" A bum approached him.
"Sorry." Wes kept walking, and thinking.
Wes heard a voice. " Come here, kid!"
He walked towards the voice. He eventually he found the source of it. There was a vampire, trying to grab a young girl, whom was darting all over the place. " Hey, you!" Wes yelled to the vamp.
"Hm?" The vampire looked over at him. "What do you want??"
"Hah! I told you, don't take your eye off me!!" The girls smirked and sliced off the vampire's head with her nails. "I warned you not to mess with us." She said to the pile of dust on the ground.
"You did it, Jess!" A girl ran over to Jess, and hugged her. She had a few wounds on her arms, but seemed alright.
"Yeah. Are you okay, Dani?" Jess asked, smiling.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Dani said, smiling.
"Good." Jess remember Wes, whom was still standing, watching. "Um, I should thank you..." She said, walking over to him. "Um, what's your name?" She asked.
"Oh, um, I'm Wesley Wyndom-Price. I take it your Jess?" He nodded to her.
"Yes. And this is my....friend, Danielle." Jess motioned to her friend.
"Hello." Danielle smiled brightly.
"Well, it was nice to meet you." Jess said. "But we must be going." She bowed. " Thanks again for helping me." She said, turning and starting to walk back towards Danielle. "Let's go, Dani. We have things to finish." She kept walking, being followed by Danielle.
In the dark, Wes noticed, the girls seemed to be wearing nothing. Jess was wearing a tight black shirt, that had a slit across the chest, which had rhine stones around it. But it had a few cuts from the previous battle. She was also wearing tight black pants, that hugged her thighs, showing off her curves.
Danielle, was wearing a black t shirt that said "dance" on it in red letters, and a pair of black jeans.
"Where are you two going? I mean, do you have a place to stay?" Wes asked.
"Hm......We are fine. But maybe you can tell us where we can find a few old friends of ours. They're names are Angel and Spike. Ever heard of them?" Jess asked.
"Yes, I work with them. I can take you to them. Follow me." Wes replied, walking back towards Wolfram and Hart.
"Can we trust him?" Danielle whispered to Jess so lightly, Jess could hardly hear it.
" I'm sure we can. I don't scence anything evil about him..." Jess replied in the same quiet tone
" Alright. If you say so." Danielle said, walking next to Jess, whom was following Wesley.
Wes led them to Wolfram and Hart. "Here we are." He looked back at the girls.
" Are you trying to trick us into something??" Jess pulled out a knife. "Angel and Spike would never work here. This place is evil!"
" Oh, yes. It was. But we're trying to 'change it from the inside out'. "Wesley tried explaining to them. They didn't seem pleased, but nodded anyway. He led them inside, and over to Harmony.
" Hey, Wes. Can I help ya' with something?" She smiled her bright, happy smile.
" Yes, show these girls to Angel, please." He told the blonde.
" Alright. Come with me, girls." Harmony smiled to the girls, and started walking towards Angel's office.
The girls said thank you to Wesley, and started following Harmony to Angel's office.
" So Angel actually has a social life." Harmony mused. She led them to the door of Angel's office, and knocked on it.
" Come in...!" A stressed voice answered.
Harmony opened the door. "Boss, you have visitors." Harmony smiled, and let the girls in.
" Thanks Harm." Angel didn't look up.
Once Harmony left the room, Jess approached Angel. "Long-time-no see, Angel."
Angel looked up. "What do you mean.....do I know you, you seem familiar..." Angel frowned. "Not to mention you're both vampires...so why are you here??"
" Angel, Angel, Angel..." Jess shook her head, her brown curls shaking with her head. She took off her hat, revealing cat-like ears with spots on them. "You can't tell me you don't remember me..."
" J-Jess??" Angel seemed surprised. "What are you doing here? I thought that Buffy staked you when-"He stopped and looked away. " I thought Buffy killed you..."
" She did. Almost. I'm half Cheetah-demon, remember? A stake won't kill me." Jess smiled, watching the eldest vampire as he looked back at her.
" Why didn't you come sooner?" Angel asked.
" I searched for you.......I didn't know where you where. I, found my old friend Danielle," She motioned to said friend. "In Woodland Hills. We knew each other in fifth grade. I guess I turned her then. I just found out that she's my childe." Jess explained.
" She reminds me of Spike." Angel frowned, looking over at Danielle, who was standing by the window, watching all the people husle around outside.
" Yeah. Me too." Jess laughed.
" So, you staying long?" Angel asked, smiling.
" Only as long as you'll have us..." Jess smiled, receiving a glittering smile from Angel in return.
