Chapter 8 Give me this Dance. While Buffy and Xander deal with their relationship, Cordy and Angel get more intense with there's.
"Can't a mother visit her only son?" ask Jenny. Xander folds his arms on his chest. "Alright you got me. I'm here on business and pleasure."
"Where and how long?"
"At the umm," Jenny begins to search her pocket for a piece of paper. "The Hyperion Resort."
"You're contact wouldn't happen to be Angel," says Xander. "Would he?"
"As a matter of fact he is," says Jenny. Xander turns around and walks over to the window. "Xander you're father doesn't know I'm here. I won't tell him that you're here." Buffy in-between the conversation looks at Jenny then back at Xander who has his back towards both women.
"You could stay in the guest room," says Xander without turning around. "You know where it is?"
"Of course," says Jenny. "Thank you."
"I'll go get your things," says Xander as he walks right by Jenny. Buffy stays quiet and begins to search for her clothes on the other side of the bed.
"So, how long have you two been together?" ask Jenny. Buffy gives her a smile as she slips on her black halter top and underneath the covers pulls up her red mini skirt.
Buffy avoids Jenny's eyes and nods her head. She then walks up to Jenny and she gets in her way. Buffy looks a Jenny straight in the eyes.
"I think it's up to Xander to tell you," says Buffy. "Now will you excuse me." Buffy pushes Jenny lightly out of her way and walks out of the room.
"Buffy where are you going?" ask Xander exiting the guest room where he put Jenny's things in.
"I've gotta go," says Buffy. "I'll see you at work tomorrow." Buffy walks out the back door and down the beach.
Xander watches her and rolls his eyes. He turns around and sees Jenny walking toward him. Xander gives her a look.
"What?" ask Jenny.
"What did you say to her?" ask Xander.
"I didn't say anything," says Jenny walking by Xander.
"You said something. I know it," says Xander. "She wouldn't just leave like that."
"You have guest Xander," says Jenny. "Maybe she thought it'd best to leave."
"Maybe it's just you," says Xander walking into the kitchen.
"Xander," says Jenny following him. "I know girls like her. Don't continue this relationship."
"You can't tell me who to go out with," says Xander.
"Looks like someone has got to remind you of..."
"I don't want hear it," says Xander as he walks over to the counter and grabs his car keys. Xander walks out the front door without saying anything else.
The next day is the first day that the dance team will work at the resort. Xander leaves early and leaves a note for his mom. Jenny walks over to the kitchen table where Xander's note lays.
At the resort Xander meets up with everyone at the dance hall. He says hello to everyone as Angel enters the hall. He looks at Cordelia and she smiles at him.
"Alright first day is always the hardest but I have a faith in you all," says Angel. "There is about ten dance classes a day with an 8 hour shift and an hour and 25 minutes per class. Xander you'll arrange who will teach them. Um I need a special dancer for a special person. Cordelia."
"Xander if you have everyone else doing something you wouldn't mind me handling this special person of Angel's," says Cordelia.
"Not at all," says Xander with grin. "Knock yourself out. Not literarily." Everyone giggles under their breath.
Angel and Cordelia leave the dance hall. Then everyone burst out laughing.
"It's about time he'd ask her," says Spike. "He's such a poof."
"Spike be easy on him," says Faith.
"Alright everyone lets line up for your positions," says Xander. "Yep back in elementary school. No pushing or shoving. Everyone will get a duty."
Xander divides the group into pairs. First pair he had in mine is Tara and Riley.
"You guys will get the first shift giving you time after lunch at two to rehearse for the show at night," says Xander.
The final pair ended up being himself and Buffy. Xander walks up to Buffy as everyone else step outside.
"Are you okay?" ask Xander. Buffy gives Xander a strange look.
"What are you talking about?" ask Buffy.
"I don't know. You left and I just thought that..."
"No," says Buffy grabbing Xander's hand. "I thought that you would of wanted time by yourself with your mom."
"Are you sure she didn't say anything to you?"
"No," says Buffy turning away from Xander. "Well, she may have asked me how long we've been seeing each other, but I didn't answer."
"I knew she said something to you."
"It's was nothing bad. Forget about it."
"I can't just forget about it. She sometimes says things."
"I wasn't offended if that's what you think."
"Okay, I'll leave it there. We gotta get to work."
Meanwhile inside the resorts business rooms Angel leads Cordelia into his office. He closes the door and picks her off the ground. They start to make out and Angel puts her on his desk kissing her down her neck. Cordelia leans back and Angel climbs on top of his desk with her.
"Oh Angel…what's that?" Cordelia says. She points to a flyer that says World Dance Competition Held at the Hyperion Hotel. "How long have you've know about this?" Cordelia pushes Angel off her and turns around to look at the flyer.
"I probably got it last week," says Angel. He goes up to it and takes it off the wall. Cordelia grabs it from his hands.
"It says the Rivera dance studio will be holding auditions," says Cordelia. "That's just a block from here."
"Yeah, some of the judges are staying here," says Angel.
"They are," says Cordelia. "Angel do you know what this means?"
"No."
"Xander. He has a great partner now and he needs to get into this competition."
"Cordelia he just got this job," says Angel. "That takes a lot of time and practice. There's no way Mr. Price is going to let him take leave this soon."
"Xander has been working his butt off all his life for a chance at this," says Cordelia. "He deserves it."
"What do you expect me to do?" says Angel as he zips his pants zipper up. "I can't perform miracles."
"If they can't come to them then they come to us," says Cordelia. "You could bring them to watch them perform in the show. They do an incredible solo number."
"Cordelia I don't think that they want to judge when they are relaxing," says Angel.
"All you got to do is get them to the show," says Cordelia. She puts the flyer down and walks over to the door. "Make sure they get there tonight."
"I'll try," says Angel.
"Then I'll try to make it to your room tonight," says Cordelia.
"I'll try really hard."
"Okay." She kisses Angel and walks over to the door.
"Are you going to tell them?"
"Nope. It's going to be a surprise."
"They got to know Cordy."
"They'll know when they get to the semi-finals." Cordelia leaves Angel's office. Angel raises an eyebrow up and watches her through the window.
"The things I do for women," says Angel as he sits down at his desk. He picks up the phone. "Hi, I'd like to make a reservation for the people staying in room 407 for the main dinner show. Yes. Please call them to remind them. Thank you. Bye."
