Lone Werewolf In L.A.
Chapter 8 - Finding Him
A/N: Hey again. Due to request, this is a 'happy' chapter. No bad-ness. Just plain good-ness, besides, Aimee needs a break. She just got beat up two chapters ago..
I don't own Buffy/Angel, they belong to Joss. (I get sick of typing this all the time.)
Oz had driven back to Angel Investigations, mainly to thank you to Cordelia for letting him stay. He arrived to find her not there. Instead he found Angel, sipping steaming hot coffee, looking bored with a rather old book.
"Hey Angel, Cordy about?" Oz asked.
Angel shook his head.
"She went out. It really bothers me not being able to go out in the sunlight. Sometimes I wish I should of kept the Jem of Amara..."
Oz mused slightly.
"No idea where she went?" He asked.
At this moment, Cordelia walked in.
"Forget it.." Oz told Angel and walked to Cordelia.
"Hey Oz! I just saw Aimee." Cordelia said merrily.
Oz perked up slightly.
"Really?"
Cordelia nodded.
"Although she seemed rather...battered..."
"Huh?"
"Like she'd been in a fight, she looked rather worn out. Maybe she didn't sleep well."
Oz shook her head.
"Uh, listen Cordy, I managed to get my new place and I'm leaving today." He said quickly.
"Really? Congratulations!" Cordelia smiled and hugged him.
Oz stiffened slighty.
"Here's the address. Stop by sometime." Oz handed her a peice of paper with the address on.
Cordelia smiled again Oz said goodbye to Angel and Cordelia, then left.
Aimee was sat on her bed. Staring at the card Cordelia had given her.
'I could...phone Oz...hang out?'
The phone was all the way downstairs though. A long way to go. She hesitated before finally getting up and walking downstairs. Aimee stared at the phone. She bit her lip and picked it up. She carefully dialled the number making sure she'd done gotten it right at least a dozen times. She held her breath froze as it began dialling. A woman picked answered. Aimee exhaled quietly and spoke into the phone.
"Cordelia?"
"Yes, this is Cordelia speaking" She confirmed.
"It's me Aimee" Aimee said into the phone.
"Hi Aimee! What can I do for you?" She asked.
Aimee blushed and said in a sheepish tone.
"Is Oz around?"
Cordelia was silent for a moment.
"No...he left.."
"Left?" Aimee questioned.
"He's found himself an apartment." Cordelia explained to her.
"Oh"
"I could give you the address" Cordelia said brightly.
Aimee recieved Oz's new home address, said a great deal of thanks to Cordealia and hung up. She looked down at the address she had written. She stared at her delicate hand writing and sighed.
'Oh God this is ages away!" She exclaimed.
She placed the address neatly in her pocket looked around the silent house and walked out.
Oz had put a great put away a great deal of his belongings. He didn't have very much. But it always felt so much to him. She smiled and ran his hand through his hair. He inhaled deeply.
'Okay...so Willow wasn't here anymore...i'd be fine...i've done it once already..'
He heard his door being knocked very gently. He frowned and walked slowly to answer it. He was slightly taken aback by the ash blonde hair then shone brightly infront of him.
''Hello Oz..." Aimee greeted him in a sheepish tone.
Oz smiled.
"Uh..Aimee..hi...how are you?" Oz asked.
"A little sore.." Aimee mumbled then quickly added. "From last night."
"I see..." Oz nodded and invited her in.
He watched Aimee look around the room, she smiled.
"Just moved in huh?" She asked.
"Yeah." Oz replied, shutting the door,
"The reason I came here...well uh..we didn't really get the nicest of introductions.." Aimee stumbled. "Well uh...I wanted to ask you..if.."
"Want to hang out?" Oz asked, smiling at her shyness.
"Yes!" Aimee replied in a quick way. She blushed slightly.
"Okay...I'll get my jacket" Oz did so and they walked out.
After a ten minute walk, Oz and Aimee reached a park. The watched small children on the swings, laughing at the top of his lungs. The smiled and walked into a different direction, on to a large grass area.
"So you've just moved from Sunnydale?" Aimee asked him.
Oz nodded
"I've left there about seven months ago and did some travelling...then I went back, but only for a few days..." Oz explained.
"I see..." Aimee said quietly. "Why did you go back."
Oz frowned. How could he answer this in the least awkward way possible. How about 'Well, I'm a Werewolf, so I left the first time so I could protect the girl I loved. I found a 'cure' and went back, only to find she was into girls and she made me change during the day-time, nearly killed her 'girl-friend' Tara, was captured by a secret Military...thing..and had some weird experiments done to me before I was busted out by the girl I loved's best friend, who has super-powers by-the-way and her boyfriend, who's some Military dude, who's like betrayed his Military...thing...'
No..that's not it.
"I went back to say goodbye..to some old friends.." Oz replied.
"Aw." Aimee said in a sad voice. "How upsetting.."
"It was." Oz said quietly.
Aimee and Oz talked for hours, finding out a little more about each other. Soon, the sky was darkening and the park was becomming more quiet, deserted and cold. Aimee shivered.
"I should go home.." Aimee told Oz.
"I'll walk you home. Okay?"
"'Kay. Thank you."
"You're welcome" Oz said quietly.
And so they walked. Their shoulder brushed together a few times. Aimee blushed, while Oz just tried to shrug it off. As they approached the porch to Aimee's home, Aimee turned to Oz.
"I...I had a cool time tonight.." She said blushing.
Oz smiled.
"I'll see you tomorrow maybe?" he asked.
"I'm working tomorrow morning" Aimee told him. "Stop by, okay?"
Oz nodded and Aimee turned and left. Oz smiled to himself and walked home.
Once behind the closed door. Aimee sighed to herself. She felt so happy...so alive.
