Angel went to work the next day like he did every other day, he began to silently wish for a change in his day, his life was getting repetitive. Angel sat in his office, Connor was in the nursery room, with the other children. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Spike came in.
"Yo, Angel!" he said cheerfully, much too cheerfully.
"What, is it?" Angel asked looking up from the papers on his desk.
"Oh, nothin', just wanted to find out what happened with that girl last night," Spike said innocently "give me all the details!"
"You, know, I'm beginning to think your gay!" Angel said sarcastically.
"Shut up!" Spike said returning the sarcasm.
"Anyway, nothing happened she gave me her number that's it," Angel said returning to his papers.
"You gonna call her?" Spike asked.
"Dunno, she was pretty, probably conceded, probably hates kids," Angel said discouraging himself from calling her.
"Maybe, maybe not," Spike said.
The rest of the day dragged on. At about 6:00 Angel left the office and went home. After he got there he feed Connor and put him to bed. Angel walked into his bedroom and fell onto the bed, next to the nightstand he saw a piece of paper, he looked at it, it was Faith's number. Then he got a crazy idea. He picked up the phone and dialed the number, the phone rang for a couple of minutes.
&&&&&&&&
Faith sat in her apartment, she had the TV on and was channel surfing, and Lindsey was in the bathroom taking a shower. He had gotten home a few minutes earlier. Faith heard a ringing sound. She got up and walked over to the counter where her purse was. She took her cell phone, and answered it.
"Hello?" she said.
"Um…hello, Faith?" Angel asked nervously.
"Yeah, who's this?" Faith asked his voice sounded familiar though.
"Um…it's Angel, we met at the bar last night," he said shakily.
"Oh, yeah," Faith said stepping out into the hallway.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime?" Angel said feeling a little calmer.
"Oh, okay, what time, and what day?" Faith asked.
"Uh, how about Thursday? At nine," Angel said his nervousness washing away.
"Where?" Faith asked.
"Anywhere you want," Angel said, fear replacing the nervousness.
"Um, how about Caritas? You know the place we met before, and we'll take it from there?" Faith suggested.
"Sure, I'll see ya there Thursday," Angel said.
"Okay, bye," Faith said hanging up the phone. She walked back into the apartment, Lindsey stepped out of the bathroom.
"Who was that?" he asked.
"It was Buffy," Faith lied. Lindsey believed it, she was good at lying, that how she kept to herself all the running around she did behind his back. She desperately wanted to get away from him, it's not that she didn't love him, she did, but only on a friendly level. It wasn't that she was being beat by him, he'd never do that. He was just…she had no real reason for wanting to leave him, but she just wanted to escape. He didn't fulfil her needs, in anyway.
"Oh, okay," Lindsey said walking into the bedroom and getting dressed. He walked back out, wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans, he walked over to her and kissed her. (She was afraid of hurting him. Afraid of what would happen to her if she hurt him. That's why she's stays. They had started dating each other in high school. When they were sophomores. Now after eleven years, they had gotten no where in their relationship, besides moving in with each other and moving to L.A. together.)
She wanted more, much more, she wanted things she never thought she would want, she used to be a stone cold bitch, she conformed to a knew sense of self. She wanted to get married and have children, she was never brought up to want those things. She was brought up to hurt men. But she couldn't too many tears has she cried, each night, because she wanted more, knowing her and Lindsey would stay like this forever, never taking the next step.
Nothing was sacred anymore. She wanted more and that was it. That's why she saw the other guys, to see if they wanted the same thing. But, that's also why she stayed with Lindsey, because if they wanted something different, she would have her crutch, someone to support her. Yes, she had a job as a waitress, but it didn't pay much. And without a college education she wouldn't get very far. Never would be more than she already is. But, she knew one little slip up in her plans, her world would shatter like glass, and she would lose everything. She wanted much more than she already had, and if that was selfish, then she was selfish, she didn't care, she knew what she wanted.
She even asked Lindsey once if he wanted to get married and start a family one-day. His response was laughter. It took her days to convince him she was joking. But that's what broke her. That's what caused her to see other men. He was her cause. Her reason for cheating on him.
&&&&&&&&
Angel put the phone on the hook, and stared at the ceiling. He smiled he chuckled, and he felt alive once again. He had tried to have a social life once before, after Connor was born, but none of the women he saw wanted a child yet. So it never worked out, so he stopped dating. Completely gave up on women. But his friends got him back into the game. But what would her reaction be, when he told her he had a son. Would she run like the others? Or would she stay and love him and Connor? That's what the big question as (for the time being.) for know he was gonna get some sleep, it was a long day, and he was getting tired.
