Chapter Two
"Okay I guess I'll go take that shot then" Angel said while walking out the door. He popped his head in one more time and said
"Thanks Lorne"
"Only here to help Cupcake"
"Oh and Lorne"
"Yes"
"Stop calling me pastries" Angel said, and he walked out of the office.
"So what did Lorne have to say?" Cordelia asked
"Uh nothing..." Angel said
"Really well he must have said something because you were in that office for like ten minutes." She said sounding a little annoyed.Why wasn't he being honest?
"Well yeah he said something, but it wasn't really anything important" Angel explained
"So then you can tell me right?" She asked
"Um yeah.. yeah okay." He said a bit nervous
"Well I'm waiting" She said impatiently
"Okay Lorne was well giving me advice"
"Really on what?"
"Well you"
"Me?"
"Actually you and me"
"Me and you?"
"Yes"
"What advice do you need on us were friends nothing more"
"Oh right... yeah...okay" Angel said he was hurt
"Hey, Angel whats wrong?"
Just then Someone walked through the hotel doors
"Buffy?" Angel said confused
"yeah it's me Angel" Buffy said
"Wha... what are you doing here?" He asked
The doors to the hotel opened once more. It was the scooby gang. Willow, Xander, Anya, Giles, Dawn, Tara and... Spike.
"Spike!" Angel said annoyed. "What are you doing here?"
"Don't get all excited nancy boy, I'm good now chip in my head can't hurt humans. Didn't the slayer tell you?"
"You still don't have a soul. Am I right?" Cordelia asked
"Yeah what of it?" Spike asked
"Your not staying here Spike" Angel said
"Angel, where do you expect him to stay?" Cordy asked
"Anywhere, but here" Angel said
"Okay he can stay with me." Cordelia said
"What! Cordelia are you sure?" Angel asked. He was so confused, that she would let an evil souless vampire stay with her.
"Yeah I'm sure" She said
"Yeah, but Cordy... it's Spike." Angel said
"Yeah so?"
"Well it's just he's evil and..."
"Angel he's got a chip in his head he can't hurt me remember"
"Yeah well... you know you sure are nice to someone who tried to kill you four years ago"
"Oh that was then this is now besides you tried to kill me once too four years ago" Cordelia said, now she was getting annoyed. Was he jealous?
"That wasn't me that was angelus!" Now he was angry with her. How dare she talk about angelus and him like they were the same person, well vampire.
"Whatever! I'm sick of you not letting me do anything! Come on Spike we're going home" Cordelia said angerily, and stormed out the door with Spike following.
"Cordy wait I.." Angel said I'm so stupid he thought,as he stared at the door absent mindedly.
"Angel" Buffy said breaking his train of thought
"Yes" Angel said
"Do you mind showing us to our rooms"
"Uh yeah sure"
"Did Cordelia just do something nice?" Xander asked still in shock
"Shut up Harris you don't know a thing about her!" Angel yelled
"Woah easy there dead boy" Xander said putting his hands in the air defending himself.
"Don't call me that! Come on Buffy I'll show you and everyone else to there rooms" Angel said bitterly. Angel showed everyone to there rooms Tara and willow shared one room, same with Xander and Anya Dawn was in one room and Buffy took the room next to Angel's.
"Buffy?" Angel asked
"Yes?"
"Why did you come here?"
"Needed a vacation, I had to get off the hellmouth." She said
"Oh okay well your always welcome here if you need a place to stay"
"Thank you Angel I'll keep that in mind, good night"
"Good night Buffy. Oh and Buffy"
"Yeah"
"I know about you and Spike"
"What how?"
"His scent it's all over you. I have vampire scences remember"
"It's not what you think I only.. we only... because it makes things simple well at least for a little while"
"Makes things simple?"
"Yeah I was pulled out of heaven, and it's like ever scince I got here everythings been clowdy. So being with him makes my vision clear well for a short time anyway. "
"Oh I see. So that makes it okay to screw a souless vampire?" He asked
"No I didn't say that! See this is why I didn't want anyone to know! I don't need this from you, goodnight Angel!" Buffy yelled and slammed her room door. Angel walked back to his room wondering, why Spike?
CORDELIA'S HOUSE
As Cordelia and Spike walk through the door the lights turn on
"Thanks Dennis" Cordelia said
"Dennis?" Spike said confused
"My ghost, it's okay Dennis, Spike is a care bear with fangs like Angel" She explained
"Hey don't compare me to captian forhead I do not use that much bloody hair gel!"
"Relax Spike I was only making sure Dennis didn't do anything to you, and stop calling him that"
"What would you perfer me to call him? Poof? Peaches? Nancy boy?"
"Just Angel, look Spike I'm kinda tired so I'm going to sleep now there is blood in the fridge if you need it" Cordelia said yawning
"Now what would the famous Queen C be doing with blood in her fridge?" Spike asked
"Long story"
"Ah yes have you told Angel about you being part demon yet?"
"What no but he most likely senced it right?"
"I don't think so. When Angels in love he can't see the things around him, let alone scence them"
"Oh, wait who is he..."
"I'm not saying anything, but you should get some rest g'night luv"
"goodnight Spike"
Angel in love hmph most likely he's talking about Buffy, now that she's here in LA he won't even know I exsist anymore.
Cordelia lay awake the rest of the night wondering what Angel and Buffy were up to. She knew they couldn't be getting that intimate. Right?
THE NEXT MORNING AT THE HYPERION HOTEL
Buffy and the rest of the scoobies came down the stairs, to meet the rest of the AI team.
"Angel who are your friends?" Buffy asked
"Hi I'm Fred, and this is Gunn" She said pointing to Gunn
"Hi this is Xander, Tara , Giles, Dawn, Anya, and you've already met Willow, am I right?"
"Yes hi Willow"
"Hey Fred" Willow said. Wesley walked into the hotel, Suprising Buffy and the others
"Wesley you look...different" Buffy said
"Buffy what on earth are you doing here along with everyone. Giles hello how are you?"
"Fine" He said plainly
"Is this her Dawn the key?" Wesley asked pointing to Dawn, Willow had told them everything that had happened last year, everything leading up to Buffy's death.
"Fasinating! They took a ball of energy and turn it into a human being!" Wesley said excitedly
"Yeah except we don't like to talk about me being a ball of energy!" Dawn yelled
"Ok sorry I said anything" Wesley said slightly annoyed with her. He only said that it was fansinating.
Buffy was getting bored with all this talking she came here to get away from the events that happened on the hellmouth. She came here to LA to get Angel back. She could tell that he had something or someone on his mind, and it wasn't her. Just then Cordelia walked through the door, along with Spike who had a blanket over him.
"Bloody hell! I hate LA all this sun barely any shade!"
"No spike your just to clueless to find any" Angel said flatly
"Or maybe I was looking at the lovely cheerleader walking in front of me" Spike said and smiled smugly
"Why you! If you touched her I swear you'll be dust in two seconds!"
"Relax you tit I didn't touch her"
"Did you just call me a tit?" Angel asked
"Angel! Spike! Stop it right now I'm sick of you fighting!" Cordelia yelled
"Cordy I'm sorry it's just he's so annoying" Angel explained with his puppy dog eyes.
Buffy didn't know what was going on with them, but she better stop it. She was here to get him back, she will not allow anyone to get in her way. Especially not Cordelia Chase.
"Hey Angel why don't we go train" Buffy said
"Yeah okay sure"
"Great!" Buffy said excitedly now's my chance! She thought
"Yeah great" Cordelia mumbled
"What was that cheerleader you sound a bit jealous" Spike whispered
"Damn vampire hearing" She mumbled again
"Heard that" He said and smiled
In the training area
"Sorry!" Buffy said after hitting Angel in the face so hard that it made him turn into game face meanwhile Cordelia was standing outside the door and all she heard is
Buffy: "Let me take a look at it"
Angel: "Yeah okay, but I don't want you to touch me when I'm like this"
Buffy: "Really I didn't even notice"
It got real quiet and Cordelia put her ear closer to the door
Angel: "What are you doing?"
Buffy: "Come on isn't this what you want?"
Angel: "Maybe I don't know, its just that we where over a long time ago Buffy, no matter how much I might want this "
"whatcha up to pet? Ease dropping on the love birds conversation if they're having any conversation at all that is" Spike said smugly
Cordelia looked at him, tears threating her eyes Spike didn't know why, but he hugged her. She loved Nancy boy, don't know how or why, but she did. He really was a stupid git for not realizing it.
"You know if it makes you feel any better it's hurting me as much as it's hurting you"
"Wh.. why, do you love Buffy or something?" She asked
Spike got real quiet at this question
"Oh I see" Was all she could say she just stayed in his arms crying when the door opened. It was Angel. What was going on. Why does Spike have his hands on Cordy?
"What the hell is going on here?" Angel asked anger rising in his voice
"Shut up! I heard you down there with Buffy! You think I don't know what you were doing!" Cordelia yelled
"WE WEREN'T DOING ANYTHING!" Angel shot back
"Yeah right captian forhead I heard you down there too, and I have vamp hearing" Spike said loudly. When Buffy came up from downstairs she heard Spike yelling at Angel
"Shut up Spike no one wants to hear what you have to say" Buffy said defending Angel
"No Buffy you shut up! It just so happens I want to hear what spike has to say!" Cordelia yelled. Was she sticking up for Spike?
"Spike was saying that you and Angel shouldn't be doing anything because you know what would happen if you do" Cordelia stated
"Right luv thats all I was saying" Spike said defending himself
"I'm tired of hearing your voice Spike" said a very annoyed Angel
"Oh and like everyone wants to hear your voice all the time" Spike replied
"You two STOP IT NOW!" Cordelia yelled
"Thank you!" Xander yelled from the lobby
"We were all tired of you two fighting all the time" Buffy stated "I mean Angel you fight more with Spike then you did Xander, and that was a lot"
"Great everyone is on Spike's side now" Angel said loud enough for everyone to hear
"No Angel thats not true" Buffy said grabing his arm. Cordelia's eyes narrowed when she did this
"I'm bored, hey Cordy why don't we go shopping, or something. I have to get out of this hotel." Dawn whined
"Sure Dawnie that sounds like fun I so need to get out of here too." she said looking at Buffy who was now rubbing Angel's arm suductively. Just what is she up to? thought Cordelia. Dawn and Cordelia walked out of the hotel and into the City of Los Angeles.
Great now that Cordelia is out of the way ,I can make my move on Angel. Buffy thought smiling
"Glad the poof's little girlfriend is out of the way don't we luv?" Questioned Spike
"Just shut up Spike I don't need any advice from you" She snapped.
"Sure luv whatever you say."
"Stop calling me that!" She yelled.
