Chapter four

The next day Angel picked Buffy up from the orphanage.

"Wow. You look great Buffy"

"Thanks" Buffy was wearing a black mini skirt and a blood red halter top. Her hair was up with curls all around. Lose strands where scattered just right on the back of her neck. "You don't look to bad yourself"

Angel was standing in front of her wearing black leather pants and a royal blue button down silk shirt. His hair was with his short brown spikes.

"May I escort my lady to the club?" He then offered Buffy his arm. Buffy blushed but only nodded her head yes. She placed her hand on his arm and walked with him to the car.

Fifteen minutes later he pulled up in the parking lot of the Bronze. When they got inside Angel grabbed her hand and pulled her to the back corner where his friends were waiting for him.

"Hey Angel. It's about time you got here." Xander said with a grin.

"Well I had to pick up my beautiful date for the evening." He then pulled Buffy until she stood almost in front of him. "Hi I'm Buffy"

"You look familiar to me" Willow said from her place on her boyfriends lap.

"I was the waitress from the diner."

"Right that was where we saw you at."

Angel helped Buffy seat in a chair then took the seat right next to her.

"So Angel you go back to the diner to catch this pretty little lady?" Spike asked

"No actually I saw here at the orphanage that I'm working at."

"So you work there too?" Willow asked.

"Um…no I actually live there. I have since I was little."

The group didn't want to push the subject of Buffy being an orphan so decided to change the subject.

"Wow this band is really good tonight." Doyle said

"Ya it is. You want to dance Willow?" Oz asked.

"Sure" They left leaving Buffy with the four guys.

When a slow dance started Angel extended his hand to Buffy who took it without hesitation then walked behind him until they reached the dance floor. Angel placed his arms around her waist as she placed her arms around his neck. As they swayed to the music Angel slowly pulled her closer until her body was flush up against his. They could take their eyes off each other. The world around them seemed to despair.

As the night went on Buffy danced with Angel several times, but only to slow dances because he wasn't good at the fast ones. She also danced with Doyle, Spike, and Xander a couple of times. Buffy was so happy that she was able to leave the orphanage for at least one night and be able to socialize with older people her age then just little ones.

"So Buffy you like sports?"

"Well I only like baseball."

"Really I have never met a girl that even likes sports."

"We play a lot at the orphanage actually come to think of it. We are going to play next weekend why don't you all come. I'm sure the kids would love it."

There were yes all around the table and Buffy smiled. She was expecting them to actually say yes. All of Angel's friends liked Buffy and wanted to be her friend and that touched Buffy more then words could say.

After a while the gang started to slowly drift apart. They said their goodbyes and headed their separate ways.

When Buffy and Angel were heading to the car Angel helped her in then got in on the opposite side. A few minutes while driving Buffy noticed that they weren't heading in the direction of the orphanage. Looking at Angel she said, "Where are we going?"

Angel smiled at the question. "You have spent too much time at the orphanage. You never get to go anywhere except for work. I wanted to take you somewhere special."
