Summary: You know the story

AN: Really sorry everyone that it took so long to update and that this is a pretty short chap but things have been really hectic the last few weeks.

Riley was standing over Angel's now bloody body. Buffy didn't know if he was alive or not, luckily a few people heard the noise and came out chasing Riley away.

Buffy dialed 911 "Hello I'm outside the bronze someone had been hurt".

The ambulance arrived a few minutes later. They loaded Angel onto a stretcher and drove away.

Angel awoke to a funny smell and a blurred figure sitting next to him. He tried to get up but a sharp pain stopped him. "What the hell?"

The figure put a hand on his cheek "Hey"

He still couldn't recognize it then he smelt it, vanilla it was Buffy.

"Buffy?"

"It's me Angel and thank you for tonight". Angel smiled "Anytime"

Buffy was eternally grateful if Angel hadn't been their, she shuttered, a freak would've been her first. School had just let out for summer so Buffy spent her time helping Angel

Today they were going for a picnic. They had been having a good time but then Angel had to ask the question. "Why Riley?" he asked. If only she could tell him complicated emotions were down that path, emotions that were warm and fantastic but equally scary.

"He just seemed nice" Buffy answered hoping he'd buy it. "I'll never figure you out or any of this" Angel said

"What do you mean?"

"One minute you're my crush, if guys can use that word, then you ask me out. It's meant for Spike then my image changes and why I don't know. Then you seem to actually be sorry and genuinely like me, then you explode on me." Angel explained

"Can I give you an answer in the car?"

"Yeah, I can wait"

Angel and Buffy packed up and got into the car. 15 minutes into the drive Buffy answered

"I'm scared about the way you make me feel"

Angel was confused "What do you mean?" She sighed "When I like a guy it's safe I know I'm normal then with you it's this uncontrollable thing and it scares me"

"Would you consider giving that a chance?" Angel asked as they pulled up to Buffy's driveway. She walked up to her lawn and turned around "I'm not sure"

"I got time" He said as he drove away

Buffy made sure Angel was gone and dialed Willow's number "Hey Wills, I need to ask you a favor"
