Chapter Four
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters Joss Whedon does.
Angel
Buffy's Point Of View
It seemed like it took me no time at all to reach the mansion. The sun was just starting to come up. I hesitated. Because I knew if I saw the scorch marks where he was sucked into hell I would snap. I finished walking up to the solid door.
I took a deep breath. But before I could knock, the door came open. My breath caught but to my relief and great happiness it was Angel. My Angel. Not the demon who once wore my lovers face. I crossed the little space that was separating us and pushed him in through the door and reached and closed it behind me. I then twined my arms around him.
"Just hold me." I asked quietly
"Buffy? What's wrong are you alright?" Angel asked worried
"I'm fine now that you're here." I answered
He just held me for what seemed like forever. But pulled a way all to soon.
"Really, What's wrong Buffy." He asked.
" I had a dream that Spike and Drusilla are still alive and she killed you Angel." I said.
A lump formed in the back of my throat. I couldn't tell him the whole truth yet. But I knew when I did it would change our relationship forever. I wasn't ready to let him go not yet. Not after everything I've been through.
"But not all of your dreams come true." Angel said
Bringing me back from my thoughts.
"No. Not normal dreams. But Slayer dreams do." I replied
Angel looked thoughtfully at the fireplace. My watch buzzed, making me jump.
"Time for you to go already?" Angel asked looking amused.
"Yes unfortunately, I have to go. And what is so amusing may I ask?" I demanded
"Nothing."
We got up I made my way to the door. But before I turned around and looked at him. Before I got out the door I could feel his gaze on me.
"Yes?" I inquired
"I almost forgot, what do you want for your birthday?" Angel asked
I gave the only answer I could give.
"Surprise me."
Then I went out the door and on my way to deal with Jenny Calendar.
