Chapter 2

Buffy walked up the stairs and went towards her room. When she opened the door she saw Angel standing there looking at the picture of her skating and holding and a whole flood of memories came back. "Buffy you scared me!" Angel exclaimed as he watched her climb through the window Buffy looked up and him with a smirk on her face "Now you know what it feels like stealth guy" she said trying to get the clip out of her hair "Just dropping by for some quality time with Mr. Gordo?" she asked looking at him with that sarcastic gleam in her eyes. Angel looked at her confused "Excuse me?" he said."The pig!" she said chuckling. Buffy opened her eyes and saw Angel look at her and he asked

"Buffy are you ok?"

"Ya just some memories that's all." She said. Buffy sat down on the bed with her head down

"Look I know you must be disappointed in me...."

"Buffy before you say anything I should tell you some things first!"

Angel interrupted her. She looked at him and knew this was not going to be good Angel knelt in front of her and looked in her beautiful hazel-green eyes.

"I could never be disappointed with what you have done Buffy because I sort of slept with Darla a couple months before you were...gone."

Buffy was looking at him as if he had just ripped her heart out

"What.....but how....but she...." She could not get a complete sentence out she was in shock of course Buffy knew she could not be angry with him because of what she did with Spike but she was still really confused.

"Ok I must be really slow here but didn't we kill Darla like five years ago or was that just my imagination?"

Buffy was pacing now wondering what the hell was going on and had a gazillion thoughts running through her head. Angel sat on the bed and started to explain.

"So this evil Law place called Wolfram and Heart brought her back as human to mess with my head."

As Angel started telling the long tale of how he tried to save her and how he tried to destroy her again Buffy just stood at the window with a look of complete shock on her face.

"So I eventually just gave up thought the world was going to hell and slept with her."

Angel said as he came up behind Buffy and wrapped his arms around her.

"But because of her I had an epiphany Buffy I knew I was meant for more and that's when I got my friends back and saved Fred from Pylea....Which is a whole nother story"

he said knowing exactly what she was about to ask.

"But then my world completely came crashing down on my when Willow came and said you were dead I haven't had a heart beat in a very long time but if I did I probably would have had a heart attack. Then everything was bright and shiny again the moment Cordy told me you were alive."

Buffy looked at Angel all she could do was hug him he felt so good in her arms this is exactly what she needed right now the slayer thought to herself she could feel her world coming back to normal like this was how her life was supposed to be.

"Angel I slept with Spike because when I came back I thought I was in hell I mean first I was ripped from heaven then I woke up in my coffin and had to dig myself out and he seemed to be the only one who could make me feel anything but I broke it off because he is in love with me but I was only using him and he is totally getting the wrong idea."

"Buffy why don't we give us another shot I mean it would be long distance but we could see each other every weekend unless there is an apocalypse but I mean we could help each other with those too. I just can't lose you again."

Angel looked at her with that broody puppy dog look he did and all she could do was kiss him deeply.

L.A

Cordy was pacing around the Hyperion with Fred sitting behind the counter thinking.

"I should have gone with him."

She kept saying over and over Fred looked at her like she was crazy

"Cordy why don't you just get Wesley to drive you to Sunnydale me and Gunn can handle things here."

"Fred sweetie you just started coming out of your room do you really think you can stay here all alone?"

"Well maybe not. Oh here is an idea we could like rent a car or something and all go together like a big road trip."

Fred said with a smile on her face. Gunn walked down the stairs as Fred ran past him all excited "What's the hurry Fred?"

Gunn asked as she continued to run to her room yelling

"Were going on a road trip."

As she slammed her bedroom door shut. Gunn looked at Cordy who was standing there with a smile on her face

"Gunn i'm gonna call Wesley and you better go pack cuz we are going on a road trip."

She said as she grabbed her keys to go pack.

Sunnydale

Buffy and Angel came down the stairs to see that they were the only ones home. Buffy grabbed his hand and pulled him to the kitchen thanking good that Willow remembered to close all the blinds.

"So i know you don't eat but im cooking anyway cuz i'm starving!"

Buffy said grabbing the bacon and hashbrowns out of the fridge. Angel watched her and was in awe of how much he had missed her Buffiness and just watching her now made the heartbeat he did not have go thump in his chest.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Buffy asked looking at him with a grin on her face. Angel walked over and kissed her Buffy

dropped the bacon on the floor and wrapped her arms around his neck and fell into the kiss.

Willow, Dawn and Xander walked into the kitchen and saw Angel and buffy making out hardcore on the kitchen counter and a bunch of stuff pushed onto the floor

"Hey get a room you too oh wait you cant we don't want dead boy going all grrr again"

Xander said Willow smaked him and Dawn could not stop giggling

" Well i think its cute you too just do what you want im going to jennies"

And with that Daawn walked out the door with Buffy of course chasing after her. Willow and Angel were in the kitchen when Angel spoke up

"Hey Willow can I talk to you for a minute?" Angel asked

"Ya whats up?"

"Well you seem to be a pretty powerful wicca now and i was hopeing you could maybe give my soul binding dilemma a look at again?"

"Ya no problem i will just grab Tara and see what we can do"

Willow said excitedly grabbing her bag and walking to the door she yelled by to dawn and Buffy who were arguing in the living room and opened the door and walked straight into a chest.

Cordelia was walking behind Wesley when Wesley and willow both fell on her

"Oh god get off me" nshe screamed

Gunn and fred ran up behind her and helped her up. Angel stepped far enough up to the door to still be in the shadows.

"What are you guys doing here?"

He asked Cordy Wesley fred and gunn all looked at him then fred piped up

"We missed you so we came to stay for awhile Buffy and Dawn were at the door all cordy did was pick up her bags walk into the house and ask

"Where are we sleeping?"

Buffy looked at Angel with a very confused look on her face. Everyone followed cordy into the house all Angel could do was shrug and close the door behind him and Buffy.
