Chapter 7

"I can't stand it anymore!" Buffy yelled in frustration.

Again she had been staring at the bronze entrance, hoping angel would show up.

"What's wrong buffster?" Xander asked.

"Noting" Buffy lied.

"Could you get me something to drink?" Willow asked Xander.

"Can't you just get something you're self?" Xander asked a little annoyed.

"NO I can't!" Willow yelled shooting Xander an evil glare.

Xander finely understood Willow wanted him to leave.

And without saying another word he did.

"What's up" Willow asked as soon as Xander left.

"Nothing, it's just Angel hasn't come yet" Buffy explained.

"Maybe he's sick" Willow tried to cheer up her friend.

"No, he probably forgot" Buffy replied.

"If he's too stupid to show up he doesn't deserve you" Willow answered.

Buffy simply nodded, But in her hart she knew it wasn't the truth

When Xander came back he too noticed the look on his friends face.

"So what's up?" he asked again.

"Nothing, everything is just fine" Buffy answered while glancing at the entrance once more

Angel hadn't forgotten the date he had with Buffy.

But the sun hadn't completely set yet and there was no way he could reach the bronze without bursting into flames.

"She's going to kill me if I'm late" Angel growled in frustration

Angel was startled by the sound of his mobile.

"I can't believe Cordelia talked me into getting one of these" Angel sighed as he grabbed his phone and answered.

"Cordelia what a surprise, yeah, No she doesn't know, No you're not coming here!" Angel yelled trough the phone.

"Sorry to disappoint you" Angel turned around to find Cordelia standing in the doorway

"Cordelia" was all Angel could manage to say.

"Nice place Angel, a little dusty but I guess that's no problem for you" Cordelia remarked.

"Why are you here?" Angel asked, realizing that his date with Buffy was defiantly off.

"What aren't you happy to see me?" Cordelia asked.

"Why are you here" Angel repeated the question.

"It was so boring in L.A and Wesley was all about research so I decided to come visit you" Cordelia smiled.

"I really appreciate it Cordy but I can handle things on my own here" Angel replied.

"I didn't say I came here only for you, I did some research myself, and it appears that they have some great malls in this town" Cordelia explained, while waving her hand.

"I thought you were out of money" Angel replied.

"I was" Cordelia answered, as she walked out and closed the door behind her.

Buffy left the bronze early. She decided to see if Angel had really forgotten the date.

She knocked on the door suddenly realizing that she had something more important to ask him then the forgotten date.

Angel opened the door and was clearly surprised to see her.

She nodded and stepped inside.

He closed the door behind her and turned around to face her.

"We need to talk" she said in a casual voice.

"Sure, what about?" he asked her.

"How do you happen to know about vampires and other things that go bump in the night?" she asked Angel, while looking straight at him.

"I…I just…" Angel was at a loss of words, he couldn't tell her he was a vampire.

She'd stake him right away.

"You what!" she asked him, Buffy was growing angrier by the second.

"My…parents were killed by vampires" Angel explained, it was the truth his parents were killed by vampires; actually he killed his parents.

"Oh, I'm sorry" Buffy said with an apologizing look.

"It was a long time ago" Angel replied.

"So this is a vengeance gig for you?" Buffy asked.

Angel simply nodded.

Buffy hadn't expected this answer and felt sorry for Angel.

"So I guess I'll just go then" Buffy said, she turned towards the door and was about to walk away when she felt angel's hand on her shoulder.

He gently turned around.

"Please stay" He simply said.

She smiled up at him and nodded.

He moved closer to her and she leaned in for a kiss when the door swung open to reveal Cordelia.

"This town doesn't know anything about the latest fashion" Cordelia shouted as she brushed past Buffy without even noticing her.

"Eh……Cordelia?" Angel said while glancing at Buffy.

Cordelia followed angel's gaze noticing Buffy for the first time.

"Buffy this is Cordelia she works with me in L.A" Angel explained seeing Buffy's confused look.

"Nice to meet you" Buffy said, she was really glad to here that this woman was just a colleague of Angel.

"Hi, oh….THE Buffy from my vis….." Cordelia was cut of by Angel before she could finish her sentence.

"Cordelia you'd better go back to L.A I think Wesley could use another hand" Angel said.

"With what? Doing nothing?" Cordelia replied, but when she saw Angel's angry glare she rolled her eyes and left.

Buffy stared at Angel, not understanding what just happened.

"Sorry about that" Angel said, while giving her one of his half smiles.

Buffy immediately forgot everything she just witnessed and kissed angel full on the mouth.
