pairings-C/A,

Rated-Not Sure... I actually dont know how to rate it!

Review- Yes! Thank you.

Distribution- Ask first, please!

Disclaimer- I do not own Angel or its characters, nor Btvs characters, because there is a appearance from a sunnydale-person. This story came to my mind while I was watching FRIENDS season one, right after I watched the rerun episode Sancuary So, I thought, why not change the story a bit. In this fic, on the episode Sancuary Buffy informed Angel about Riley rudely, and now Angel is hurt and is having a hard time coping and Cordy and Wes will help him cope with Buffys absence from his life, and he will eventually fall for Cordy and she will fall for him. After this, Angel will NOT go to apologise to Buffy, because clearly she doesnt deserve it! So, this is not a B/A fic, Id recommend B/A lovers not read this. This fic is set after Sancuary Enjoy!

This story is ANGEL version of a friends episode. -
-Begin-

Cordelia is sitting on her desk, keeping an eye on the phone. Wesley enters the room, and looks around. Hi, Cordelia Wesley greets, looking at Cordy, whos looking at the phone. Her response is a nod. Have you seen Angel? Wesley asked while looking at some papers. Cordelia nodded no. Cordelia? Wesley asked. No answer from her. Cordelia? Wesley asked again, and again no answer from her. He looked at her weirdly, then Earth to Cordelia? Cordelia still didnt seem to listen. CORDELIA! Wesley explodes this time definitely getting her attention. Cordelia looks shaken, then recovers, and replies to her co-woker, whose behavior had made her mad. What yeller of the york? Cordelia asked angrily. Wesley glared at her What is going on? The expression on his face would really ask the question all by itself, even if he didnt speak. Im waiting for a phone call Cordelia looked at Wesleys expression and tried not to grimace on it. I went to an audition yesterday, and today Ill get the call on if I get it or not. Because, god, I would kill for this role. Its the role of a girl named Estella, whose the lead girls bestest friend, and appears in almost every scene the lead girls in! Cordelia informed Wesley, with a huge smile on her face, and shes practically squealing in joy, even after starting off dryly. Wesley gives Cordy a smile and congratulates her. Finally, Angel enters sleepily, his eyes half open. He didnt recognize the faces infront of him, he just seemed to go along with it. Hi, Giles Angel said to Wesley, who looked horrified. Cordelia was horrified too, what would he call her? Defintely not Buffy! That would be an insult bigger than Willow! And plus she was not blonde Hi, Willow Angel sleepily fumbled around to find a coffee mug. Cordelia thought she was wrong, this was the bigger insult. He might have dreamed about them again Wesley whispered to Cordy, who still looked horrificly toward her boss, who had just called her the REDHEAD cheater Witch from sunnydale. She wasnt also a redhead. And you wouldnt have guessed Cordelia replied to Wesley, who grabbed hold of Angel as he was about to trip. Angel, still not in full sense, once again fell asleep. Cordelia sighed. Once again, he dreamt of her. Once again of that bitchy slayer who had moved on, leaving him nothing. And she highly doubted if Buffy would act cool if she knew Angel moved on. She would probably tell Angel it isnt right with the curse and all... And he would obey her! Obey her, like he was her dog or something! Wesley took the sleeping Angel, and once again lay him on the bed. He found a empty bottle of whiskey on the floor. Another sigh from Wesley. Angel had gotten himself drunk again. Ever since Buffy visited for that thing with Faith, Angel had difficulty with the whole moving on thing. Sometimes, after cases, hed tell them to take the rest of the night off, and would disappear for hours, only to fumble his way back to the apartment through the sewer in the morning after he wouldve gotten drunk. Wesley once again sighed, putting the empty whiskey bottle in the trash can on his way out. Cordelia looked at Wesley, her eyes showing great despair for her boss. Why cant he just forget about that Slayer? I mean, she moved on, although she promised shed love him forever. Its not fair to just drop by and rub it all in his face about her new boyfriend, and just dump him into deppression again! Cordelia told Wesley angrily. Wesley nodded and sat down beside his co-worker. Hes been drinking again He informed Cordelia, who couldve just ripped Buffy apart. See! Again! Again he felt like that and he just thrown himself at alcohol. How are we gonna run our bussiness if our boss is drunk all the time! Cordelia screamed to Wesley. Besides, I care for him. What will we do without him? God, what will I do? Id lose an best friend if he went crazy and tried to commit suicide by the sun. We, we, have to do something! Cordelia panicked. I know... Wesley tried to calm Cordy down. We need an distraction for him. He needs to focus on something else. Maybe if we went to a bar... Wesley suggested without remembering that thats all Angels been visiting these days. Cordy shot him a look. He realized. Um.. Sorry. Forgot Wesley answered, sheepishly. All of a sudden, Cordelias eyes lit up, like a bell had ringed in her head, making a lot of noise. Cordelia smiled at Wesley, who looked clueless. Lets make him play poker! Cordelia exclaimed. Wesleys eyes widened, and after a second, he smiled. Thats an excellent idea! Wesley exclaimed. Both started planning on how to get Angel to play.
