Right Kind Of Wrong
I so do not own them; please quit thinking that I do. I am so excited this story has gotten more reviews than "Can't Fight the Moonlight". It gives me a personal happy and so much more. I'm surprised I can keep my ideas separate since I'm working on three stories at one time. Now is the time I need to down an espresso and get back to work.
Buffy came out of the bathroom and Angel had just hung up the phone. She saw how comfortable he was on the queen size bed. This made her uneasy times ten; hopefully they didn't have to sleep in the same bed together. That wouldn't be of the good for either one involved. Angel looked at her with soulful eyes he was trying to convey his sorry-ness for what occurred a little while ago. The mark was faded to a small red welt, but will disappear before morning; with the slayer healing it wouldn't even be noticeable.
"Who were you on the phone with?" She asked as she approached the bed.
"Room service, since your food got ruined I decided to order you up some more food. I don't want you to starve." He told her. He did call room service after a less than stellar conversation with Cordelia.
"That was nice of you. Why did you go through all this trouble? I mean you have to let this go. We can't be together anymore, I'm with someone and she loves me. I love her, she is everything to me." She said softly.
Angel shifted himself on the bed so he could face her. He had the time to look to truly look and he saw the happiness there. There was no more pain or sadness in her eyes that their relationship brought. It was more doom and gloom and end of the world. It was that moment that he truly realized that she was not that girl anymore, and replaced was a woman who was confident and very mature. He made a mistake coming back; he should have just stayed on his path to redemption.
"I don't doubt that she does love you. I seen the passion in both your eyes and the way you are with each other. I was dumb enough to think I could come back and you would drop everything to be with me."
The silence hung over the room like a blanket, Buffy didn't know what to say. He finally put the pieces together and realizing that there could be no more them. She wanted to jump and kiss him. But that wouldn't be the smart thing to do.
"Why did you go through all this trouble of kidnapping me and having my friends and family worry? I mean couldn't you find another way to get your point across that if you can't have me no one can?" She asked him.
"It isn't that, I just wanted to be alone with you one last time. To make sure that you still don't feel a thing for me. I will never truly be over you Buffy no matter how many years our down the line. You saved me many of times, that is not something you forget."
No other words were said, until there was a knock on the door. Angel got up to open it and saw the bell hop or whatever he was standing there with a cart of food. He stepped aside to let the man enter. He had to suppress an urge to growl when the man was openly ogling the girl on the bed.
"Is there anything else you needed?" He asked Buffy.
She had to keep herself from getting sick at the guy leering at her. There was a bad vibe coming off of him, like maybe he was a demon or something. She glanced at Angel and he had a look on his face that said, 'Danger Will Robinson'.
"I don't need anything else, thank you." She told him tersely.
The bell hop walked out of the room and Angel closed the door. He immediately went over to the cart of food and smelled it, to make sure that nothing was wrong with it.
"I will handle him later. I didn't know that they allowed demons to work at the Marriott."
Buffy just shrugged her shoulders and began eating. She hadn't had anything to eat all day. Usually she could go without eating, but this time was different. The spaghetti was the first thing she ate. Angel couldn't help but smile at the scene, he had always enjoyed watching Buffy eat. He just wondered where it all went, she was so tiny and very in shape.
Faith walked into Willy the snitches new club Oasis. He was trying to get away from the demon clientele, but he is still the one to go to for information on all things evil. The music was loud and people were dancing all over, there were no vamps or demons in the mix tonight. That was fine by her, she was going to get sloppy drunk and screw the first available male. If B could do it so could she, making the way to the bar Willy approached her.
"To what do I owe this pleasure Slayer?" He asked her.
"I just came to check out the club, and have a few drinks. Where's the harm in that?" She leered at him.
"Nothing, I'm just not used to seeing you without your girl. Did you ever find her?" He asked the brunette.
Faith had an expression that was clearly unreadable. What the hell did he mean by did she find her? Buffy was with her latest boy toy and couldn't give a damn with her.
"What the hell do you mean find her? She's around here somewhere." She told him.
Willy took a step back she really didn't know that the slayer was missing. He was debating on whether he should tell her or not. He decided to tell her he really didn't want his ass kicked all around the club.
"Word on the underground was she was kidnapped, while coming back from class. I over heard a couple of demons talking about the missing slayer. I assumed they were talking about you, until they mentioned your girl." He walked away from the bar and got the slayer a beer.
Faith tried to process what she heard. Buffy had been kidnapped, but there was a letter. Then she decided to replay the scenario out in her head. Buffy came home from class her jacket was on the bed along with her books, the door was open and her keys were on the night stand. There weren't any signs of struggle, but the door was open and she never did that. Willy brought her a beer and she took it without so much of a word. Then it dawned on her, the letter was not in B's handwriting, because she never adressed any of her letters with lover. She put the beer back down on the counter paid Willy and ran out of the club.
She ran through the cemetary's like the devil was at her heels, she didn't care right now she needed to get to Red and C's dorm quickly. Once she made it there she knocked on the door and Willow answered.
"Faith what's wrong? What's with the knocking like you're SDPD?" The red head ushered her in and Cordelia sat up on her bed.
"Damn Faith, what the hell happened to you?" The brunette asked the slayer.
"B is missing! I-I was at Willy's just going to have a drink and he mentioned it to me." She panted out trying to catch her breath.
Willow gasped in shock and Cordelia paled a little that was not supposed to get out at all. This would not bode well for any of the parties together. She straightened up her self as if to not give anything away.
"Missing are you sure?" Cordelia asked.
"Yes, that is what Willy said, he over heard some demons talking about a missing slayer. He assumed it was me until they mentioned the other one, the original one. That son of a bitch kidnapped her, he is so fucking dead. I couldn't believe that I didn't trust in B." She paced back and forth.
"How did you know Willy was telling the truth? You said when you went to the dorm everything looked fine to you." Willow surmised, she really didn't want to think about her friend being gone.
"No, I said things looked normal, but I began thinking back to when I approached the room. The door was wide opened, her jacket and her books were on the bed, and her keys were on the nightstand. Do you still have the letter that was written?" She asked either one of the girls.
Willow moved to her notebook and pulled it out and handed it to the brunette. "What exactly does the letter have to do with anything? We know it was written by Buffy."
Cordelia got up and snatched the letter out of the slayers hand, this earned her a growl.
"Calm down before you bust a vessel; I am an expert at these things." She pretended to read the letter and handed it back.
"Sorry, but it's your girls handwriting. Her calling you lover is a little dramatic don't you think?" She handed the letter back to the other girl.
"That's just it, when she would send me all sorts of little nasties, not once did she use lover. She always used F or something else; lover is reserved for bedroom only."
Willow let out a small gasp, Faith just rolled her eyes, "Get over it red, Buffy isn't as pure as you think she is."
"I think you are over reacting. You just can't accept the fact that Buffy left you, you're just trying to hold on to something that isn't there anymore." Cordelia told her.
"You're right, I'm outta here." She walked out the door leaving an upset Willow and a too calm Cordelia behind.
"Why did you do that? What if Buffy truly is missing and something happens to her?" Willow asked the brunette.
"If that's the case then Buffy can handle herself, she'll be here safe and sound before you know it. You underestimate our slayer." She got back in her bed to read her magazine.
Faith walked to the Summers house, she needed to talk to Joyce. She wanted to know if she knew anything about Buffy's whereabouts. She rung the doorbell and waited for a few minutes. The door finally opened revealing Joyce and she ushered the girl in.
"Faith oh my god there you are! I have been trying to reach you all day, have you seen Buffy? I tried her cell phone and there is no answer." She told the younger slayer hysterically.
"I haven't seen Buffy since before my last class. I came over here to see if you had seen or heard from her. What do you mean she didn't answer her cell phone?" She asked alarmed.
Joyce looked at her in confusion, "You know she can't live without it. I tried calling her, but never got an answer." She said panic rising in her voice. "Did you see here when you come back from class?"
"No, I didn't. I just assumed from the letter she left me she was off with Angel. I mean he did come back all soul having, she probably got over me and went back to him."
Joyce took the girls hand and looked at her, "I don't think so, she's been happy deliriously happy for the past three in a half months. Angel never crossed her mind once, all things that reminded her of Angel she threw away. That part of her life is over, even if he does have a non removable soul, she wouldn't want to be with him. You are a lot better than Angel ever was. I may have been blind to certain aspects of her life, but you are the one thing that truly makes her happy. If you think that she would leave you for him, then you underestimate my daughter. Has she given any indication of her wanting to be with Angel?"
Faith thought for a minute, "No she hasn't. If anything, she has been more loving and attentive since he came back."
"Buffy has a level head on her shoulders at times, and this is one of them. She was just trying to reassure you that you are the one that she wants. I want you to stay here, just in case Buffy calls." Joyce told the girl.
"Fine I will, but if something did happen to her, I will find her and make whoever did this pay." She said menacingly.
Faith was a woman on a mission. No one messes with her or her girlfriend and if she finds out Angel had a part to play in this, there will be no hesitation in staking his ass. He fucked with them one too many times. There will be no next time, he was going to die even if he didn't have anything to do with it. The guilt started to set in she honestly believed that Buffy would leave her for him. She was going to go out and do something stupid and jeopardize everything they've worked hard for. She guessed that they were right love does make you do the wacky.
Buffy had just finished eating and she was feeling a little better, albeit a little dirty. Angel had stepped out for a minute to get her some clothes, but she really knew that he was going to do something to that demon. Bored out of her mind she flipped on the TV and watched a movie until she drifted off to sleep.
Crazy –Kiki-19: I had to throw a little bit of angst in there. Come on I can't let them live happily ever after yet. It's not written in the cards, don't worry Angel will get his.
Anon: I really wish you would leave your name, but hey it's okay. Angel is going to pay as well as Cordelia, but you are just going to have to be patient. Keep reading and reviewing it makes me truly happy.
masterranger3: no need to go into threats. I will never make Faith do something that will kill anything that she and Buffy has. As far as Cordelia helping Angel there's a lot more to be explored, all is not what it seems.
AR –Erithius-: I will kill Angel nice and slow just for you, I may even throw in a little torture.
Naweoh: This is Faith she of the not so level head. Don't worry she'll get hit by the clue by four eventually.
General Mac: another chapter as always.
Alyson: that's just how my twisted little mind works, but you have to love it.
