Dinner
"Buffy dinner's ready." Angel yelled from the kitchen.
"Coming", Buffy called, getting up from her bed. She took a quick glance in the mirror, fixing her hair and the little bit of make up she had put on. Don't want to over do the make up, we're only at home, but boy oh howdy, he's a hottie. She thought to herself before leaving her room and heading towards the kitchen for dinner.
Buffy's hopeful face fell when she noticed Spike and Faith sitting at the table to. So much for a romantic dinner for two. "Hi Spike, Faith." She nodded to the couple as she took the seat next to Angel.
"'ello luv." Spike said as he took a sip of his beer.
Faith only nodded, not really paying too much attention to her.
"Well everyone, let's dig in." Angel said setting the dinner rolls on the table. He took his seat next to Buffy as they all began to eat. Wow, she smells REALLY good.
"So luv, tell us a little bit about yourself." Spike said through a mouth full of spaghetti.
"Umm… I have an older brother. His name is Oz, he's lead guitarist for a local band called 'Dingoes Ate my Baby'. He's dating my best friend Willow. Umm… two other best friends named Xander and Cordelia, they're dating. Umm… I go to UC Sunnydale, haven't declared a major yet."
"What about your parents?" Angel asked. He thought this women had an amazing air about her, he wanted to know everything there was about her.
"They're dead, well actually, mom and dad separated when Oz and I were in elementary school. My dad left with his secretary and never looked back. Mom re married and she and my step dad Giles died in a plane crash coming home from England our senior year. Oz took care of me and I moved into his apartment with the band until I finished High School."
Idiot, oh yeah that will woe her, ask questions about her dead parents. Angel chastised himself while giving Buffy a very heartfelt and lame "Sorry".
"Hey, it's cool, it's not like you killed them." Buffy said as she continued her food. "So… um… what about you guys?"
"Well as I told you before, Spike's my half brother. My mom moved back to Dublin when I graduated college. My dad died when I was sixteen. Um… I have a full sister named Kathy who is studying Dramatic Arts at UCLA, hence the open room. She used to live here." Angel told her. Please love me. Angel screamed at her in his head as he shoved more chicken into his mouth.
"Oh… how old is she?"
"About the same age as you."
"What about you guys?" Buffy asked the couple.
"Well my mum lives in London, my old man lives in New York. I have no little siblings. I work at The Fish Tank as a barkeep." He told her.
"Oh, I've heard of that place, never been inside though."
There's a shocker. Blondie's never been in the Fish Tank. Spike though snidely.
"What about you Faith?"
Faith looked up from her dinner as though realizing the blonde was there for the first time. She took a sighed deeply and spoke a full sentence for the first time since Buffy had met her the day before. "I work at the local Karate Gym and the local hunting shop. My dad left my mom when she got pregnant with me; my mom's been an alcoholic since I can remember. She still 'lives' in Boston. I have no siblings that I know about." She said with a smirk before continuing to eat her food.
"Oh." Buffy said lamely as she finished her plate.
"Here, I'll take that." Angel said leaning over Buffy and grabbing her plate.
"No it's okay Angel. I'll wash the dishes, it's the least I can do, since you cooked." She told him, grabbing the plate.
Their hands brushed and they stared at each other like lovesick little teens.
"Umm… no Buffy, it's okay." Angel said moving towards the sink. If you really want to help me, just kiss me.
"Are you sure?" She asked standing behind him. Hmm, nice view.
"I'm sure Buffy." He said turning to face her and giving her one of his 'light up a dark cave' smiles.
God, that man has a smile that could out bright the sun. Buffy thought. "Okay… well how about you guys come with me to the Bronze tonight. My brother's playing and you could meet the gang." She said hopefully. Please say you'll come, please. Buffy's mind practically pleaded with Angel.
"Sure luv, love to." Spike said.
"Yeah, I guess I could check it out." Faith said replied as she sat on the couch.
Not you two. Dammit. Buffy only smiled. "Cool. How about you Angel?"
Angel looked over at the blonde goddess that stood before him. Anything you want my love, I'd give you the world if you'd only give me the chance. "Sure, let me just finish the dishes and I'll change." He said turning back toward the dishes.
"Okay, umm… great. I'll tell the gang to meet us there." She replied with a smile as she practically skipped into her room to call Willow. It's like a date. Only he doesn't know about it and his half brother, his half brother's girlfriend and all my friends will be there, but still… god I'm a loser.
