Chapter 18: Cancun Vs. Girlfriend

"Hey, son!" Ethan called to Angel as he walked down the hallway to his room.

Angel walked into his parents room where his dad was packing for Spring Break. "What's up dad?"

"Just wanted to confirm that you are sure about not going with us." Ethan said folding a shirt and putting it into his suite case.

"I'm sure" Angel replied, leaning against the door frame. "Do you really need all those clothes?"

Looking down at his suite case Ethan nodded. "According to your mother. Are you 100% sure you don't want to come with us? Buffy will still be here when we get back."

"I'm sure dad." He was getting annoyed with his parents, they kept asking him the same thing over and over again.

"Cancun, Mexico." His dad reminded him. "You know you wanna go."

Angel crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm sure I don't want to go. As much as I would love going to Mexico with my parents, I would much rather stay home and be able to be with my girlfriend. I will be fine on my own. "Don't worry, Buffy will protect me." He smiled.

"Just be careful." His dad told him.

"Of what?" Angel asked.

"Sex." His dad eyed him. "You don't need to be getting that girl pregnant when you are only 18 years old, you have college ahead of you and that girl has her own business. You both have your whole lives in front of you. Don't go screwing it up."

"Gee, thanks for your vote of confidence dad." Angel said sarcastically. "I haven't heard back from Yale yet so who knows if I will be going to the college I want."

"You will get into Yale son." His father said putting some clothes in his suite case.

"We'll see. I applied for a few other colleges too. If Yale doesn't work out there is always community college." Angel said turning to walk away. "By the way, a little late on the sex talk, Pops."

"Have a nice trip Dad." Angel's father said sarcastically to himself. "Oh, thanks son, we will."

"Buffy?" Angel called upstairs as he closed the front door behind him.

"In my office." She called.

Angel walked up the stairs but stopped at the doorway of her office. "Am I allowed to come in?"

Buffy looked at him strangely. "Why wouldn't you be able to?"

Angel took a step inside the door way. "Well I have never been in here before and you have never invited me." He looked around, there was two sewing machines, a large selection of materials, a rack with clothes handing on it, a large desk with a fancy looking black flat panel computer with a black desk chair, sitting next to her desk top computer was her laptop. It was the cleanest most organized room in her whole house. "Wow, nice. Why do you need two sewing machines"

"Just in case my loving boyfriend wants to help me out." She joked.

"I don't sew." He said seriously.

Buffy shook her head and smiled. "Do you ever think I didn't invite you in here before because I was afraid we would have sex all over everything."

"Nice." Angel nodded wiggling his eyebrows at her.

Buffy laughed getting up from her desk. "What's up?"

"My parents..." he said looking out the window of her office, watching his parents drive down the street to make it to the airport. "..just left for Spring Break."

"I thought you were going too." She said placing a pencil down on her desk.

Angel put his hands on her hips. "I told them I wanted to stay here with you."

"Mmm, sounds nice." She smiled then turned to pick up a piece of paper off her desk. "but I made plans."

"Your kidding right?" He asked. He convinced his parents to let him stay in Sunnydale instead of going to Mexico so he could stay with his girlfriend and now she had other plans. 'Should have double checked with her, I guess.'

Buffy nodded. "Yup... but if you play your cards right... maybe..." she stood on her tip toes and nipped at his lip. "..you can be involved."

Angel smiled. "And what plans are these?"

"South Beach." She smiled.

"Oh yeah." He laughed. "South Beach with my sexy girlfriend is so much better then Cancun with my parents." He kissed her neck.

Buffy smiled, loving the feel of his kisses against her neck. "We will be staying at Casa Grande Suite Hotel and Spa. Beach view, in room bar, fully working in room kitchen- for you to make me breakfast, an in house spa... a hot tub." then she turned serious. "But we won't be alone"

Angel stopped kissing her neck. "Things just got a lot less romantic. Why won't we be alone?"

"Well, it's a suite. It's HUGE and it better be for how much they charge a night so... Xander and another friend of mine are going too." she told him. "Why don't you see if Doyle and Gunn can come. It would be a lot of fun."

"If it's free for them then Gunn will be able to go, his parents don't care what he does but Doyle would have to ask his mom. Even though he is 18 he doesn't do anything his mom might not like." He told her.

"Well, do the talking thing... see if they can. And since I didn't get them anything for Christmas their plane tickets will be on me." She smiled.

"What about me?" Angel joked.

"Oh please! Are you kidding me!" Buffy laughed. "I still owe you for that amazing orgasm you gave me a few nights ago."

Angel turned his head away from her, letting out a small chuckle.

"Hey now, don't blush. You are a totally amazing lay!" She kissed his jaw line. "I love it when you take control now. Before it was a turn on that you didn't know what you were doing, now it's a turn on that you know what your doing." she put her hands up the back of his shirt. "I have come to realize that everything about you is a turn on."

Angel lifted her up off the ground and walked backwards. "Okay time to get out of here so we don't have sex all over everything."

Buffy laughed.

Buffy and Angel walked through the mall hand in hand. Buffy wanted to go shopping to get some new clothes and lingerie, it was going to be a good week. As they were about to walk into Victoria's Secret Buffy spotted someone she had been meaning to call all afternoon.

"Hey, why don't you go in and pick some stuff out, I will be right there." Buffy told him.

"Are you sure? I might look a little weird picking stuff out alone in Victoria's Secret... what is this big secret anyway?" He said making a face.

Buffy laughed. "Go. And don't start in the dressing room without me!"

He winked at her before he walked in.

"Okay, so there has been a slight change of plans." The blonde told the brunette.

"How slight?" The tall brunette asked looking up at Buffy a little surprised to see her there, and put a dress back on the rack.

"Well, slight as in guys will be there too. I know it was only going to be us but then Xander called me back and said he could go after all and then today Angel's parents left for their spring break and he stayed to spend time with me so I couldn't tell him I was leaving and he couldn't go with." Buddy rambled. "Sorry Cordelia."

"So your best friend and your boyfriend will be there?" Cordelia asked.

Buffy nodded and her boyfriend old crush. She couldn't really believe that they had become friends but after Cordelia came to her to warn her about Ms. French the two girls had gotten close. "Plus Gunn and Doyle."

Cordelia gave Buffy an annoyed looked. "Do I still get to leave my boyfriend behind?"

"Oh most definitely!" Buffy laughed. "How are things going with that?"

Cordelia sighed as she looked through another rack of clothes. "I think I want to break up with him."

"Oh my god! Please do it!" Buffy said excitedly. "Cordy, I wanted to thank you... I have never had a friend that was a girl before... at least not a true friend. I told you about hoe bag sleeping with my dad right?"

Cordelia nodded. "I'm not going to lie, I didn't like you at first. Everyone else liked you and sadly that was drawing attention away from me, then there is the fact my boyfriend wants to nail you but after all the times you shot him down, you proved to me that you don't want to be with him. Plus you are making me realize I don't want to be with him! You turned out to be really nice and you know your fashion. Odd because you dress so plainly."

"Gee thanks!" Buffy laughed.

"Honestly, I trust your fashion sense, which I never say about anyone! But you do design clothes. I'm glad we have gotten to know each other. That night when Angel talked to me at the party, I know it was because of you, he told me. I thought he was really nice then I learned so is his girlfriend." Cordelia shrugged. "You taught me never to judge the new girl... because she could end up becoming my best friend."

"Aww, Cordy!" Buffy laughed. "Does this mean Harmony is out?"

" Oh please! Not even you could get her head out of my butt!" Cordelia rolled her eyes and picked up another dress. Cordelia turned towards Buffy showing her the short blue dress, Buffy nodded her approval. "So what are you doing here anyway? Don't you just makes your own clothes?"

"Not always, When Wal Mart has a sale you know I am all over that!" Buffy smiled.

"God! Your so nasty!" Cordelia joked as she handed the blue dress to a woman wearing a black skirt suit with a name tag.

"No, seriously though, since Angel is going to be going too now I thought maybe a stop at Victoria's Secret was needed." Buffy said still amused by her friends reaction. "Wanna join?"

Cordelia gave her blonde friend a dirty look. "Like I want to know anymore more about your sex life then I already do. Gross. Go! Shoo!"

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Cordelia turned around in her seat to asked Buffy, looking over at Gunn and Doyle as they messed with the airplane seats laughing like little kids.

Buffy looked across the isle at them from her window seat and then to her boyfriend sitting next to her. She got a worried look on her face when Angel busted out laughing along with his friends over the tray on the seat in front of them falling and hitting Doyle in the head as he bent over. Biting her lip she looked to Cordelia. "Kind of." 'Oh boy, this is going to be a long flight.'

Once they were actually in the air Gunn and Doyle decided to take a nap and Angel put his headphones in and listened to some music. Buffy looked over at her boyfriends best friends and smiled. She tapped Cordelia on the shoulder, when she turned around Buffy pointed to the two boys. Cordelia snickered when she saw Doyle leaning against the window asleep with Gunn resting his head on Doyle's shoulder. Buffy glanced at Angel, she couldn't tell if he was sleeping or not. She smiled at Cordelia and quietly handed her the camera out of her purse. Cordelia's smile got bigger as she nodded and took the camera from Buffy. Cordelia took a few pictures of the boys sleeping. "Black mail!" Cordelia whispered as she handed the camera back to Buffy. "Totally worth them coming."

Buffy looked at Angel again. She really couldn't tell if he was sleeping, he looked like he was but at times he looked so serene when he was just resting his eyes.

"Is he asleep?" Cordelia barely whispered.

Buffy shrugged then raised her eyebrow at him. She quickly lifted her digital camera and snapped a shot of Angel then hid the camera in her lap, turning away innocently just in case he was awake. When he didn't move Buffy raised the camera again and repeated what she had just done. Cordelia laughed at her friend.

Buffy looked at Angel out of the corner of her eye to see that he hadn't moved again. She slowly leaned in near him, holding the camera out to get a picture of her making a silly face at her sleeping boyfriend. Then stuck her tounge out so it was barely touching his cheek and glanced over towards the camera to take a picture. Cordelia busted out laughing causing Gunn to wake up to look around to see what happened and other people on the plane looked towards Cordelia.

Okay, so maybe they were just as bad as the boys!

When the plane landed Buffy went over to the large screen with the flights listed to make sure Xander's flight was still on time. He was going to be getting in about a half hour after their flight. They made their way to Xander's gate to wait for him and then they would go to baggage claim. Doyle was worried someone else would claim his baggage, Cordelia made a remark that if someone else did end up claiming his then they would just fine it in the dumpster later because no one else was deranged enough to actually wear those clothes. Buffy ignored the others bickering behind her and tried to look over and around the people walking past, trying to spot Xander. When Buffy shrieked Angel quickly turned his head to look at her, hoping nothing happened to her, the three others stopped bickering to looked in her direction when they saw her take off running. They watched her jump into the waiting arms of a dark haired man.

"Jeez Buff, you would think I just got back from war or something'." Xander smiled, hugging his best friend close.

Buffy laughed and was about to make a remark back when her smile fell from her face, she didn't expect to see the person who had just walked off the same plane as her best friend. The person who was now standing there watching her with a small smile.
