I hate LA, Buffy thought as Cordy drove through the streets. This was just supposed to be a surprise visit to see her father, not "bonding" between her and Cordelia. However, it was spring, and Easter was just around the corner. Doyle's birthday had been the previous week and Cordelia was in a total sulk mode. For some reason, Buffy felt good about hanging out with her and she could see that Cordy appreciated it.

"This is a great new club," Cordy said enthusiastically. "I dated the bouncer once and he lets me in for free 'cause he hopes I'll go out with him again."

Buffy only smiled and waited while Cordelia valet-parked the car. They got in line and after a quick eyelash-bat with the bouncer, they were in.

The place was crowded as Hell and everywhere Buffy looked, guys leered at her. She pulled her sweater over her dress and shivered.

"Take your sweater off," Cordy said, peeling off hers to reveal a very skimp diamond halter top and an even skimpier angled skirt.

"Why?"

"Be*cause* your dress is hot and you want guys to notice you, don't you?"

"Actually, no. I have--"

"A boyfriend. I know. Xander told me all about Fish Boy when he was here."

"He's not--"

"He is and you know it so let's just pretend we don't, k?" Cordy asked. "Come on, let's go get a table."

They managed to find one in the masses and dumped their things down. Cordy ordered them drinks and then pulled Buffy to the dance floor.

"Dance with me," she instructed. "The guys will think you're gay and it's a challenge so then they'll come over."

"Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy did you bring me here?" Buffy whined.

"Because it's time you saw how the other half lives. You and Fish Boy need to get outta Idaho--"

"Iowa," Buffy interrupted.

"Whatever. You need to live in the now. I'll bet he even wears suits to church on Sunday morning."

"I hate Xander," Buffy remarked.

Cordy only smiled.

They danced for a few songs, then Buffy started having weird twitches all through her body. She looked around and then she knew instantly what it was.

Angel.

"Um, Cordelia?" she pulled her aside. "I'm not feeling very good and--"

"Nice try. I went to *alot* of trouble to set this up and you're gonna stay here and listen if I have to sit on you. Is that understood?"

"Yes, Mommy." Buffy answered, rolling her eyes. She continued to dance and then she heard it.

Him.

"Hey everyone. I'll get back to the music in just a minute, but first I've got a special announcement. It's from Angel, to Buffy, and he wants her to know that if she lets herself, she'll remember the good times. This song is for you. Gotta can the corn demon."

If anyone other than Angel had been in that DJ booth, Buffy would've been pulverizing them right now. But because it was Angel, and because a teeny part of her felt bad for him after what happened in November, she stayed.

I was hanging with the fellas
Saw you with your new boyfriend
It made me jealous
I was hoping that I'd never see you with him
But it's all good
'Cause I'm glad that I met him
Heh

'Cause now I know the competition's very slim to none
And I can tell by looking that he's not the one
He's not the type you said you liked
His style is wack
Clothes are bad
Come on girl
Let him go
I want you back

Call me a hater
If you want to
But I only hate on him 'cause I want you
Say I'm trippin'
If you feel like
But you without me ain't right
You can say I'm crazy
If you want to
That's true-- I'm crazy 'bout you
You could say I'm breakin' down inside
'Cause I can't see you with another guy

It makes me ill
To see you give
Love and attention at his will
And you can't imagine how it makes me feel
To see you with him
Oh, it makes me ill
To see you give
Love and attention at his will
And you can't imagine how it makes me feel
To see you with him

Girl I know that we broke up
But that doesn't mean you should give the cold shoulder
'Cause you know that I truly do adore ya
And that other guy can't do nothin' for ya
Uh
See

I can tell that you don't really love that guy
But there's no need for you to go and waste your time
I think you know I love ya more
Girl you gotta let him go
I want you so just give him the door

It makes me ill 'cause you used to be my girl
Used to be (my girl)
Used to be my girl yeahhh
It makes me ill (oooo) cause you used to be my girl (c'mon)
My girl
So baby come back to me

It makes me ill
To see you give
Love and attention at his will (at his willll)
And you can't imagine how it makes me feel
To see you with him (when I see you with him)
Oh, it makes me ill
To see you give
Love and attention at his will (at his will)
And you can't imagine how it makes me feel
To see you with him (baby I'm jealous)

Oh it makes me ill
To see you give
Love and attention at his will
And you can't imagine how it makes me feel
To see you with him\\

Buffy gulped and felt alot of people staring at her. Angel started another song up and left the booth, coming down and taking her by the hand. He led her to the table where she'd sat with Cordelia and looked at her, waiting.

"What?" she finally asked.

"You tell me."

"If you think I'm gonna--"

He couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed her and kissed her. He ran his hands over her shoulders the same way he did in November, ran his tongue over her lips.

She pulled away and shuddered as every memory came flying back at her.

"Oh my God," she whispered.

"Pretty intense, huh?" he asked.

She grabbed him and kissed him again, and this time, he broke the kiss. "Why'd you do that?" she complained.

"What about Riley?"

"What about him? I'm moving to LA and he'll just have to deal with the fact that I'm not down with long-distance relationships."

They kissed again and Cordelia watched, jealous. She folded her arms and started thinking. I wonder if this would work for me and Xander....

The End
