Chapter Seven
When Angel saw Buffy and Parker leave, jealousy swept through him. How dare she? They were supposed to be together? So when Amy asked if he wanted to go back to his place, he agreed. That was what Buffy and Parker were going to be doing anyway, right? When they got outside his house she turned him to face her and kissed him passionately. It wasn't anywhere near as amazing as when he kissed Buffy, but he tried to ignore that and concentrate on kissing her. He heard footsteps and pulled away from Amy. Then he saw her. Buffy. She'd seen him and Amy kissing, and she was crying. She saw him notice her and started to run.
He pulled away from Amy, ignoring her shouts, and ran after Buffy, pulling around to face him.
Buffy: Get off me!
Angel: Buffy –
Buffy: Don't!
Angel: Buffy, let me explain
Buffy: What is there to explain! We've been together for two years and then you decide you like the look of someone else better
Angel: That's not true! And how can you say that, I saw you leave with Parker!
Buffy: He offered to walk me home and I agreed. Which, by the way, I only did because you were dancing with her! We got to my room, he kissed me and I said no. You know why? Because of you!
Angel: Buffy –
Buffy: You obviously don't have so much self-restraint
Angel: I only danced with her because you were dancing with Parker!
Buffy: Dancing is one thing, kissing someone else, having sex with someone else, is another thing!
Angel: I didn't have sex with her!
Buffy: But were you going to?
Angel didn't answer and looked down.
Buffy: I thought as much
Angel: Buffy, please. It's just because I thought you were with Parker
Buffy: I thought you knew me better than that
She turned to leave but he grabbed her arm and pulled her to face him again.
Buffy: Let go of me!
Angel: Buffy, I love you. Don't go
Buffy: You can't love me as much as I thought you did. Not if you were willing to sleep with her to get back at me
She shook herself free and stormed away, leaving Angel speechless. Willow, Oz, Xander and Anya stood a few yards away, staring at each other.
Xander: What the hell was that all about?
