Chapter Sixteen

Yesterday I had made things better with Doyle and today it seemed like it was going to be an even better turn out. I was sitting in the quad before school waiting for Angel to arrive and reviewing history, because of the test first period, when Oz and Anya both came to sit beside me. Now I couldn't see the words on the page let alone remember whatever was on it so I slipped the book closed and waited for either of them to start the conversation.

"It was inconsiderate of you to keep such a secret to yourself." Anya spoke first in the same annoyed voice she used when she was complaining to Xander about not getting any.

"I'm so sorry."

"Yes well sorry doesn't help the embarrassment of talking about Fia'in Slayer, I guess you, when you were her."

I was slightly confused but got the gist of what she was trying to see her. That she and Oz were even willing to talk to me was good enough for me to listen to them bitch at me.

Oz glared at Anya telling her to be quiet, "Fine I get the hint. Now stop glaring at me."

"I believe what Anya was trying to say was that even though it is upsetting that you thought you had to lie we understand and are willing to forgive and forget."

Anya opened her mouth, "no we're no…"

"Thanks," I said with a smiled as Oz slapped his hand over her mouth.

He simply stood taking Anya with him and both left with a small smile shot my way in reassurance. I couldn't believe it I was now back in Angel, Spike, Faith, Oz, Anya, and Doyle's good graces. It was a wonderful feeling.

I had only gone back reviewing history when a prada purse was placed in my line of sight on the table. I knew who it was and was slightly nervous of the browbeating I could receive from her. Her tongue was a dangerous weapon when she was angered and I didn't want to be on the end of that.

"So Doyle told me that you and he were talking again, and I just seen Oz and Anya leave."

"Yeah."

"So I thought if my boyfriend and most of my other friends were back to talking to you I may as well talk to you again too."

"Than…"

Cordelia flipped her hair over her shoulder in that total valley girl way and smiled at me as if she was doing me the greatest favor, which she was but she didn't need to know that.

"No problem." She narrowed her eyes and said, "But if you have any other secrets I don't know about you may want to tell me because next time I won't be so forgiving."

"No, no other secrets."

"Good." She said with a small nod of her head as she stood, "see you at lunch than." And she walked off as if she hadn't just forgiven me.

By the time she had left me alone at the table once again students were arriving at the school. So I closed my book and made my way to my locker. Just as I opened my locker a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me back into a solid wall of muscles.

"Hey baby." A silky voice whispered into my ear sending shivers down my back.

"Hi," I said as I turned and wrapped my arms around Angel's neck.

After a long gentle but passionate kiss we broke apart and Angel reached into my locker and grabbed my binder and then closing it. Grabbing my history book from my grasp he placed it with his own books under his right arm and swung his left across my shoulder. I was so comfortable.

"So what are you doing tonight?"

"Nothing important," I replied with a sly look up at him, "Why you have something planned."

"Yeah. I was thinking taking you to that romantic Italian restaurant, but if you think that its unimportant than I guess going to the Bronze with be just as good."

I laughed and lightly swatted his stomach, "no the restaurant sounds like a perfect night out."

We made our way to first period, history, I wasn't in all that much of a hurry after all I despised history and couldn't get much better than a sixty-eight percent in the stupid course. Where my stud of a boyfriend couldn't get less than an eighty-four percent, and looked forward to tests, they let him increase his mark. He may have been a player before but he was always staunch on his marks.

"See you at lunch." He asked bending done to kiss me before we took our seats.

"Yep lunch."

I finished the test just as the second bell, signaling the end of second period, rang and gathered my books making my way to the door. Passing the teacher's desk on the way out I placed my test down and rushed off to my next class. I wasn't with Angel because he was chemistry and there was no way I would be able to do that class, so while he was learning ions and compounds I was math class, not the hard one but not the one for dumbasses. I may have been a famous singer and very talented in that aspect but when it came to math and sciences I had trouble keeping everything in my head, so it was just as easy for me to not worry about that stuff.

Math finished and I made my way to lunch, it was going to be great, I would have almost all my friends back to eating lunch with me and talking with me as well. It was wonderful.

Lunch was a slightly tense Willow and Xander, though not forgiving as the rest they, sat with all of us at the table and talked with everyone but me. I could understand their point but it was awkward having them have an entire conversation with everyone else around me and exclude me. Angel kept my hand clasped in his and Faith and Spike staunchly put their support behind me. The others were slightly more weary but just them seating there with me was enough.

"So I was wondering if you all want to come over to my house this weekend."

A chorus of yes and sure went around the table with only two missing. All the attention turned to them and Willow's mouth twitched in the corner signaling a smile as she looked at me and nodded. Xander was more reserved but after a kick in the shin from Willow he said yes as well.

I smiled, "Good and just to let you know Gunn and Fred will be there. I want you guys to meet each other." That announcement caused uproar around the table.

(Skipping to Angel and Buffy's date)

I was so excited this was our first actual date that didn't include the Bronze since we got together. The food was delicious and the company was perfect.

"Thank you," I said in a low voice.

He looked perplexed but let a tiny smile make its way, "For what?"

"This evening is wonderful and it is going to be so expensive," I could see he was going to say something so I continued, "and I'm just happy to be here with you. It's a dream of mine hat I have had for quiet a while, and you made it come true."

"Well, you're worth it Buffy. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you. I love you, I have for a while but you always seemed so distanced."

My heart pounded in my chest. I knew I had loved him the day he took me in his arms on the bleachers at the school but I was positive that I was just something knew for him. After all he had a new girl every week before me and there was still the chance that he would decide that he had enough of me and wanted someone new.

"Wow, umm……well I was just……don't know what to say."

He looked slightly downtrodden, "You don't have to say anything. It's probably early to be saying things so important but I've felt that way so long that I wanted, no needed you to know how exactly I felt. There is nothing in this world that will keep me from you except you yourself."

I was overwhelmed but I wanted to tell him I felt the same and so I did, "I love you."

He looked stunned. Stunned but pleased so I reached for his hand and pulled him around the table into a caring, loving kiss. I didn't care if he was going to leave me in a week because right now I had

We finished dinner with light conversation a learnt many things about each other. I learned that Angel planned to go to UCLA after high school; he was very into his Irish ancestry even if it had been years since he was in Ireland. He wanted to be an artist but while he was going to major in art in college he going to minor in business so he could help his mom with their finances. I learnt that he had wanted to date me for almost the last two years.

While I learnt all of this about him I told him about my friends Gunn and Fred, not the band but the people who I knew. I told him about my mom and how Giles came to be my guardian. How I kept it a secret from everyone, and finally how and when I started to feel for him. All in all it was a good night and one that I wouldn't forget for anything.
