Chapter 5
Buffy didn't honestly know what to do. Angel was just sitting there, not looking at her, and not really doing anything. So she hit him.
"Ow! What did you do that for?" He already knew why she did that. He wasn't paying attention to her, for good reason mind you, but not paying attention to her non-the-less.
"What was that for! You know what that was for! Angel what's wrong? Not even 5 minutes ago you were making love to me and now you're just sitting there not looking at me. Please tell me what's wrong." She suddenly got conscious of her state of nakedness, and went to cover herself up. But Angel stopped her.
"I've already seen all of you honey, no need to get embarrassed in front of me."
And then he made as if to get up.
"Wait! What-what are you doing?"
"I think-I think that I need to go. I need to go Buffy before….before something happens between us that we don't want to happen." And then he left, grabbing his pants, and heading out of the bedroom door. A few moments later she heard the front door slam. At first she tried to hid her tears that were threatening to roll down her cheeks, but then she realized that he was not around to see her cry, so what did it matter?
Buffy was very confused at his actions. She didn't know if she had done something wrong, or if he just didn't like her. So she decided to go and try and find Willow and see if she could spend the night so that Buffy wouldn't be alone tonight. She had the feeling that if she was alone, she would cry and Buffy knew that if you didn't have anyone to cry on then it really would be a sad day in hell. She got her clothes on and in some semblance of order, taking one last look around Angel's apartment, and then she left.
Buffy went back to the Bronze, knowing that her friends would still be there. More importantly, she knew that Willow would still be there. Willow had a boyfriend in one of the bands that played at the Bronze every once in a while, so Willow was always there when he played. And tonight was one of those nights, and Buffy knew that the bands were no where near done for tonight. Not at 10:00 on a Friday.
Buffy found Willow in the last place she thought to look. Front and center of the stage, doing nothing else but watching Oz play the guitar. And also dancing, from what Buffy could see. Which was a rare site indeed. She headed over there and when she got within reaching distance, she tapped Willow on the shoulder. And causing her to whip around so fast that she actually caught the Slayer of guard. Hitting her on the side of the face.
"Oh-oh god Buffy! I didn't mean-I didn't mean to hit you. I'm so sorry!" Willow yelled over the music.
"Willow I'm fine. Slayer strength remember?" Although Willow was no slayer, she had some power behind that hit. And even though Buffy didn't want to admit it, it hurt a little.
"Okay, so what happened with you and Angel? I didn't see you since after you went outside with him earlier."
"We went back to his place, and well we uhh… we kind of… almost-" She was about to tell her when she saw Angel talking to a very bleached blonde guy with a black leather duster on, by the bar.
"What? What did you guys almost-"
"Shh! Willow come here." Buffy led her over to a space underneath the stairs. With Willows back to Angel Buffy peered over her shoulder and watched Angel and the peroxide guy talking. They looked to be friends.
"Hey what was that for?" Willow asked after they had made under the stairs.
"Angel is over there talking to some guy."
"But wait, weren't you with Angel? HEY! What happened with you two? Buffy tell me now." Willow forced Buffy to look at her. "Now."
