----------

When he got out of the bathroom, he had started to do his homework. He had Math, History and Biology homework, it was quite easy to him but it took long, 'Too much' he thought. When he finished it was just leaving 6:30 and he huffed and stalked towards his bathroom. When he came out he heard Buffy talking on the phone (their houses are pretty closer together and she speaks loudly) to Willow

"Willow I can't help it I like him so much, ever since we've known each other I think" Buffy whined into her phone.

Angel heard this I couldn't help but eavesdrop on her conversation, so he pulled a seat towards the window pretending to read a book incase anyone caught him. He relaxed and continued to listen as she continued to talk.

(Buffy and Willows conversation)

"I don't want to go on a date with Parker, I only accepted his date to make him jealous." She told her best friend (out of the girls)

"Buffy why don't you just tell Angel you like him?" Willow asked her lover torn friend.

"I can't do that Will, if told him how I felt and he doesn't feel the same it will completely ruin our friendship and I couldn't take that risk of losing him." Buffy explained to her.

"Buffy you won't know until you try, and who's to know he might like you or maybe even love you as well." She said to her.

"Willow I see what you're trying to say, maybe I will ask him or talk to him or maybe just say it to him by giving him a kiss and running away." Buffy joked and laughed.

"Well, Buffy I think you should talk to him and let him know slowly if that's ok and then if he likes you as well give him a big, huge kiss." Willow said also joking with the last bit and started laughing.

Buffy let out a huge laugh that the whole world could here. Angel just sat there listening to Buffy's side of the conversation, 'I wonder who they're talking about, well it's not me that's for sure, she doesn't think of me in that way. I'll ask her tonight who it was.' Angel thought to himself. When he heard her laugh he just started laughing as well, 'I love her laugh it's so sweet, such a sweet sweet sound. How does she have this affect on me.' Angel thought to himself again then he heard her saying to Willow in a dreaded voice, "I'm gonna go get ready for my "date" and make a certain man crazy, and no, not my date, bye see ya tonight!" then she put the phone down and went straight to her wardrobe.

'Oh I better get ready for my date too' Angel thought as Buffy said it and went towards wardrobe opened the door and pulled out a pair of black jeans and a light blue shirt a little open at the top and put a black casual suit like jacket and pulled on his shoes picked up his wallet and his car keys and was out the door and into his car on his way to pick up Eve.

Just as he went away Buffy was watching him from her bedroom window as she waited on her date. She was dressed in a black leather mini skirt and black knee length boots, with a blood red tank top 'My makeup is just fine I'm totally fine not too revealing for Parker, but I'm sure Angel will love it, hopefully.' She thought until the horn to Parkers' car gave a loud beep which startled her, she saw him and she grabbed her bag with makeup and her phone and her keys and her black jacket and ran out of the door and down stairs.

"Bye Mom, bye Dad." She yelled as she ran right by them and out in to the cool air and went for Parkers' car that was across the street. When she got in Parkers was making oogling eyes at her and she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Summers, you look hot!" Parker exclaimed.

"Thank you Parker, now could you start the car so we can go." Buffy asked him.

"Sure OK." He did as she asked and they drove off towards the Bronze.

They got there at the same time as Angel and Eve. They got out of the car Angel not noticing Buffy. Buffy looked at Eve in total disgust.

"What the hell is she wearing? Come on her skirt is like a belt and her top is in half. Oh My God! How can my Angel like something like that!"? Buffy exclaimed to Parker.

"Your Angel?" Parker asked titling his head to her.

"What! Oh um yeah my Angel, I call him that because well hello we're best friends and anyway he says it about me he calls me My Buffy and, and … and…" Buffy rambled on.

"It's ok Buffy I know you like Angel." He told her to stop her from rambling.

"You know?" Buffy asked him disbelief. "How do you know?"

"Anyone can see it." He said to her.

"Oh is it that noticeable?" she asked.

"No, I looked into it." He told her.

"Oh, well ok lets go inside." She said and he guided them inside.

----------

Once inside Buffy saw her friends and she guided them towards the table.

"Hey guys, Where's Angel!" Buffy shouted them over the loud music.

"Hey!" Willow said back gestured for her to come over and she did.

"How's Parker so far?" She asked her.

"Actually, it's OK." She told her, "So far!"

"Really, I thought you would be killing him in 2 seconds." Willow said in disbelief.

"Yeah well it' good, and he knows about me liking Angel." Buffy told her friend.

"What? How does he know about that?" Willow asked.

"I dunno, he just said he looked into it." She said with a shrug.

"So anyways, where's Angel, I wanna tell him something, you knowing what that something is." Buffy gave her a knowing look.

"Are you going to tell him?" Willow exclaimed.

"Yeah, well since everyone is saying that 'we think we should be together' and 'you guys are totally into each other' I thought I might tell him." She explained to her. "And yet again where's Angel?"

"Oh yeah um I think he is on the dance floor with Eve." Willow told her.

"Ok thanks." Buffy said to her and she walked out on to the dance floor looking for angel and then she found him.

On the, middle of the dance floor with Eve grinding against him and went in for kiss and he accepted it and they kissed. Buffy's heart broke into pieces, a small tear escaped her eye, then she saw them heading off the dance floor, then she stormed off looking for Parker she spotted him and grabbed him and kissed him forcefully on the lips, just as Angel spotted them, his heart broke into pieces. 'Guess she likes him after all.' He thought and he and Eve just went towards the tale Willow was at.

"What's going on I thought Buffy doesn't like him?" Angel asked Willow.

"Yeah well she said that their date was going ok, but she doesn't like him she likes another guy." Willow told him.

"Oh really who is it?" Eve asked her leaning forwards.

"Ugh as if I'm going to tell you." Willow said to her.

"Oh sorry just wanted in on the gossip." Eve said and leaned back into the chair.

Buffy and Parker came over and Buffy sat on the stool beside Angel and Parker sat beside Willow.

"Where are Xander and Cordelia?" Buffy asked Willow.

"Oh they're on the dance floor making out." Willow informed her.

"Oh OK." She said.

"Uh, Buffy I need to talk to you, privately." Angel said to her standing up.

"Oh ok, back in a minute you guys." She said as she also stood up and followed Angel to where ever he was going.

"Ok what's up?" Buffy asked him.

"What are you doing kissing Parker like that?" Angel asked roughly.

"Oh so you can kiss and dance with Eve like that, but I can't kiss Parker like that?" Buffy asked him roughly as well and her voice getting loud and full of jealousy.

"What?" Angel asked.

"You and Eve were bumping and grinding against each other and you kissed I saw it all and I wanted to tell you something important but it's not gonna happen now." Buffy shouted to him and started to walk away.

Angel reached out and grabbed her arm and pulled her backwards, "What were you going to tell me?" Angel asked her.

"Nothing it doesn't matter." She told him as she started to walk away.

Angel yet again pulled her back by the hand that was still attached to her upper arm, "It obviously was important enough to get you like this, so just tell me." Angel; shouted and asked her.

"It doesn't matter!" Buffy this time all round shouted which made people sitting by look at them.

Buffy saw this and said to him, "Angel not her somewhere else please."

"No Buffy I want to know NOW!" Angel said to her.

"OK I Love You God Dammit!" Buffy exclaimed.

This brought a shock to Angels face, "You… love… me?" he asked.

"Yes, I love you." She said quietly looking into his beautiful dark chocolate brown eyes, getting lost in them.

He was still registering on what she has just told him, ' She loves me! She loves me! Tell her back, tell her back!'

Just as he was about to say something she cut in with, "It's ok, I get it, you don't feel the same, I'm just glad I got it out. I guess I'll see you around then, Bye!" Buffy said disappointed and broken. Her hazel eye filling with tears as she walked away.

"But Buffy…!" Angel shouted over the music to her. She didn't here him and just ran towards to the table and Parker and asked him can they leave and they went all the while Angel chasing after them. He got to the table and Willow asked, "What happened there?"

"Nothing, just letting out our feelings." He told her, and sat down beside Eve.

"Well it must have been some feelings you let out, because she looked really upset and hurt." Eve said to him.

"Yeah well they were really important feelings." He told her in his brooding voice, and Willow knew that voice and her eyes widened knowing what sort of feelings they had let out.

Xander and Cordy came over to the table.

"Hey where'd Buff go? I was hoping for dance later." Xander asked everyone at the table. Willow was ready to tell him what happened and Angel just cut in and told him that she felt sick and she went home. After that the night just went on and he would probably talk to Buffy tomorrow at school, he was brooding the whole night until time to go. He danced with Eve a few times though.

----------

"Thanks for leaving early with me." Buffy thanked Parker.

"No problem." Parker said back.

"Parker about what happened with the kiss, it doesn't mean anything it was just a kiss ok." Buffy told Parker.

" Oh come on Buffy I know you like Angel but you also like me, I could tell with that kiss you gave me and the way you dressed for our date, you want it off me so badly you would do anything." Parker said to her while moving his hand up her leg and under her skirt.

"Parker what are you doing! I told you I'd rather be friends! I don't want to be anything more to you OK! " Buffy shouted at him and moved his hand and unbuckled her seat belt and went to open the door but Parker locked the doors.

"Parker open the door!" Buffy shouted at him.

"No Buffy I want you right here, right now." He said as he unbuckled his belt and leaned towards her for a kiss, and he grabbed her head forward and roughly kissed her Buffy tried to push him off but he was too strong. He gave a crooked smile and sat up to unbuckle his beat from his trousers, Buffy's eyes widened at what he was doing he was keeping her down on the seat as he undid his zipper and his erection sprung out. Buffy started struggling against him. "Buff stop that or you are going to make it harder for yourself. Now! Suck it!" he told her as he forced her head down on his cock. She started screaming. "Parker stop it please stop it!" she screamed at him. "Now Buffy why are you screaming it's only worse for you now isn't it?" Parker asked her sarcastically. Buffy had and idea that jumped into her head, then she put her plan into gear. Tears were still streaming down her face as she bent down towards his hard cock :Yeah that's right baby do what you are told, you whore!" Parker insulted her. Buffy got angry and pulled her fist out and punched his erection and went for his head getting her target, she unlocked the doors and got out at her side and ran across her street towards her house while Parker was moaning and whining about what she had done to him. "I'll get you BITCH! And your little boyfriend too!" He shouted at her.

Buffy got the front door of her house and she ran in and up to her room and stayed there and cried, until she fell asleep.

----------

She woke up about half an hour later, she kept having nightmares about that evenings events, when she thought about it she started crying again.

"Shhh… don't cry." She heard a voice she looked up and she saw Angel standing beside her bed. It wasn't new.

"I can't stop, it's so hard, I can't believe he did that to me! Oh god Angel I need you!" Buffy started crying again and pulled him into a hug.

"Buffy who and what are you talking about?" He asked.

She looked up at him into his eyes she gulped, "Parker, he nearly well tried to… to …r...ra…rape me!" She said uneasily .

"What!" He shouted, then relising that everyone else was asleep the said in a hushed tone, "He tried to rape you?"

"Yeah when he was dropping me off, I was getting out but he locked the doors and then he kissed me and undid his pants and told and forced me to…to… suck his dick. Then I uh I punched it and his face and unlocked the doors and got out." She told the man she loved about the evening events uneasily. She started to cry even more and Angel just hugged her tighter into his chest.

"What did you want to talk about?" She asked him already knowing what he wanted to talk about.

"Oh it's nothing." He told her.' I can't exactly tell her how I feel now can I.' He said to himself.

"Oh." She said quietly disappointed and just snuggled deeper into him, she smelled him 'I love his scent, and comfy body, too bad' she thought.

They sat like that until she fell asleep, he got up off the bed and tucked her in and gave her a kiss upon the head and went for the window.

"Angel." Buffy's quiet voice said.

She made Angel stop and turn, "Yeah?"

"Stay with me please?" She asked him in her little voice.

Angel thought about it and just quickly decided, "Sure, OK." He said as he took off his jacket and shoes and moved in beside her under the covers as Buffy scooted along to make room for him and she cuddle into him.

"Thank you. I really need you tonight as a friend OK." She said to him and drifted of to sleep.

"No problem." He whispered to her and laid his head on her head and whispered, "I love you too." Knowing Buffy didn't hear it he fell asleep.

Buffy just smiles in her sleep at what she had just heard. 'Now I know' she thought happily and then actually went to sleep.
