I do not own any over the characters. They are owned by Joss Whedon
Angel nervously paces to the edge of the cliff and back. He looks at his watch. She is late. He just smiles. Cordy is always late.
"She probably couldn't decide what shoes to wear" He says out loud to himself. "I will have to remember to compliment her shoes."
Ever since he got the phone call he has been pondering over what she wants to talk with about.
"Maybe she wants to tell him that she is in love with Gru." Angel shuddered at that thought. "He is not good enough for her. He is not me." Angel said to himself
His hopes rise slightly, could what Lorne told him be true? Could Cordy actually have feelings for him? Angel shakes his head trying to rid his brain of that thought. She is in love with Gru. If she was in love with him then she would of not made him go and buy the potion so she could sleep with Gru. That isn't love. That is something that you ask your best friend to buy for you, not a man that you are in love with.
Best Friends. That is what their relationship is. He never thought that he would see her again after he left Sunnydale. But since that fateful night at the party, when they ran into each other again, they have been through so much. He now relies on her friendship. She has taken on so much with accepting the visions. He was so proud of her when she fought to keep her visions. He was so angry at her when he found out how much suffering she was dealing with every time that she got a vision. She should have told him. Cordy knows him better than anyone, even better than Buffy did. After they broke up he never thought that he would feel for another woman the way he felt about Buffy but if he were to be honest with himself he would admit that he had feelings for Cordy. Feelings. Where did that come from? Oh well, Lorne was right. He is in love with Cordelia Chase.
He knew it as soon as Lilah had that genie hack into Cordy's visions. When he saw her laying there on his bed, so helpless and scared he wanted to, first, hold and kiss her until she felt better, and second kill whoever had done this to his precious Cordy. He did succeed in the second. When Gru came to town Angel obtained a constant companion known as the "Green Eyed Monster". Never in his 250 years had he felt like that. Every time that she looked at Gru he hated him. He wanted her to look at him like that, but she didn't. She had eyes only for Gru. Or so he thought. He went to sleep every with thoughts of Cordy and woke up every morning with those same thoughts.
"All right idiot, stop thinking like that." Angel yelled at himself.
What was he thinking? He had nothing to offer Cordy. His life was full of monsters and demons. She deserves so much better than that. He is not rich and Cordy likes nice things. They could never have children. That was impossible, well except for Conner, but that was a fluke. He could never make love to her. That one moment of pure happiness, which he know that he would find with Cordy, would bring Angelus back and he would kill her and Angel just couldn't risk it.
Suddenly he sees headlights. He looked at his watch. 23 minutes late. She gets out of her car, looks around, slams the door and starts swearing. Angel smiles. She probably thinks that he left. He walks over to her and puts his hand on her shoulder to calm her down. He sees her fist clench and she spins around. Her eyes are angry but as soon she recognizes him they soften.
"Angel" she said. His name sounds perfect on her lips. As he looks at her in the moonlight he realizes, with absolute certainty that he is in love with Cordy.
