SUMMARY: Buffy and Angel just talked while she was visiting him, right?
It was so easy to sneak out of school, but I had to run around back and
cut through four classes to get back in. I've heard lots of things, but this
was the weirdest. It was in chemistry. I was lost, as usual, and Willow was trying to help
me by pointing things out in her workbook. I kept shrugging, showing my
confusion, and she sighed. I wish she'd ask Angel for some help, then maybe she'd understand it
better.\\ Angel? Angel? All that happens when Angel and I are alone
together.....well, that was demonstrated this morning. "I'm a funny guy."
"Yeah, you're Mr. Humour." I stood up and smoothed my skirt out. "I just
don't know what to do, you know? We're having the big library meeting with
the gang after my chem lab, we're gonna tell everyone. God, that'll be
weird." I looked him in the eyes. "Do I wanna know what's going on in Oz and
Xander's minds?" "I'm not sure you have a choice in that matter.
"I know that I don't," I sat back down and leaned my head against his
shoulder. "Sometimes I wanna go back to when things were simple." "When was that?"
"The eighties." He smirked. "Growing up, moving past or through something, it's always
difficult." "Yeah, but we don't even know if I'm going to move past this. I could be
hearing thoughts forever. Which is sometimes nice, like in English this
morning, but others....Maybe it's good that I can't read your mind." "Why?"
I sat up and looked at him. "I know that this would never happen, but
like, if we were kissing, and you thought I had bad breath or
something....Wait, have I ever?" "No," he laughed. "Would you tell me?"
"Of course." "I love you." "I thought we weren't gonna do that anymore."
"Are you trying to get out of loving me?" I asked in a teasing voice. "No, I'm just...you know I love you."
"Oh yeah?" I stood up and carefully backed away from the couch. "Prove
it. Catch me." He chased me all over that mansion. Upstairs, downstairs, everywhere.
We finally landed in a heap of giggles and heavy breathing on his bed.
"You should go." he said after awhile of just laying there on top of me.
"Back to class." He made no moves to get up, and I didn't want to leave.
"Okay," I said quietly before our lips met. It was a sweet kiss, unlike
the kisses we'd been sharing in the past. This was different, more like the
kiss of two carefree kids in love instead of one that could be our last
because a demon is trying to eat the world or blow up our school or something.
The kisses turned into groping, and with that comes undressing and
finally love making. We threw the curse out of our minds and thought only of
each other. When I was sure that Angel was still Angel, we wrote it off as
another odd aspect the demon had infected me, or us, with, and I headed back
to school. She has this far away look on her face, I know she's thinking about
Angel, and I know she never tells me everything. Maybe some day..\\
I stopped thinking of my morning quickie when Willow's voice flooded my
mind. I wonder where Xander is. I know class is half over and he doesn't
understand it anyways but I just.....\\ She continued to mentally babble on about nothing while I thought of
Angel. Then, all of a sudden, she started thinking "Oh my God, oh my God, oh
my God." That was when Xander walked in. I wasn't used to seeing him like this, but he looked good. I mean,
attractive-good. Not that I look at him that way, 'cause, no offense to him,
but, ew. I know Willow did, or does, or wants to though, and I can see it in
their eyes, see their passion and their pain. At least this time, I can get into their minds too.
Maybe I should take up matchmaking as a side career.
Look at Willow. She's pretending to be studying with Buffy, but I'll bet
she's thinking of Oz. Maybe even doodling his name on her worksheet.\\
Look at Xander. I mean, I know I saw him earlier, but he looks...different
now. Hot. No! Not hot! But.....yes, hot.\\ I smiled to myself as the bell rang. Time for me to come clean about the
demon power living inside me. I wonder when, or if, the two of them will
come clean with each other. (Author's Note - how the Hell long was their schoolday anyways?!?!?!?!?!?!?!)
