DISCLAIMER: *He* owns them... for now. I tried to get those damn leather pants by kidnapping Riley and offering *him* an exchange. What do you think he said?! That the pants were of higher value!! And he was SO right! How couldn't I have thought of that! Now I'm struck with Riley chained in the basement, Anyone wanna help me get rid of him??
SPOILERS: My earlier story 'How much time' and S4
RATING: PG, I think there's some swearing and this time I didn't erase it.
FEEDBACK: PLEASE, send it (I'm begging here)

Ooook, now I know I'm crazy. How else would you explain that I am in the middle of the road, driving a car that isn't mine and going towards my ex -exboyfriend when just an hour ago I was happily chatting with my actual exboyfriend? Didn't you understand me? Ok, so here is the story: We were in that beautiful park in the middle of his usual picnics. (Have I said how much I hate those picnics?) I was trying to eat one of those awful sandwiches he prepares without choking on it when it happened. I swear I didn't see it coming. I mean, one minute I was relaxing under the bright sun and the next I had a velvet box in my hands. Oh yeah... he did exactly what you are thinking: He proposed. That damn son of a bitch actually had the nerve to ask me to marry him. Is he nuts or just plain idiot?

Now you'll ask me what's the matter, he IS my boyfriend after all. I shouldn't be so mad. Well, have I told you how he came to be my boyfriend? I would gladly do it, but I don't know it myself. My friends used to say Riley (That's the name of my idiotic ex) was a sort of Rebound Guy until I convinced them of the contrary. But now I'm guessing they were right. How else can I explain that I didn't feel anything for him? That each kiss felt like a crusade for me? Now you'll say it was a bad thing to do. How could I use 'sweet-cute Riley' like that? Guess what? Sue me!!! I was depressed. I felt alone. Is it so difficult to understand that I needed someone to care about me?? It's not my fault if my ex -ex decided that I deserved a better and *normal* life and left me. But could I find that life? Of course not! Little me just had to go and involve herself with the first jerk that told me two sweet words. And when he dumped me I just had to have the questionable luck of finding Riley Finn. My best friend said he was sweet. Oh, he was. He was sweet and nice and good-looking and boring and insecure and belongs to an organization that wants to do experiments with me and is a jerk AND doesn't know how to kiss... I could go on and on but I don't have the time. I accelerated. I have to get there before dusk. I hope Mum won't get too mad when she discovers that her car has disappeared.

Well, now I have time again to tell my story. It's not as I had anything else to do in the middle of this traffic. With luck I'll be there in an hour. Well, where was I? Oh yeah, Riley. I'm actually glad we didn't do anything else than kissing. I told Willow it was because he was 'such a gentleman' and didn't want to press me into anything. Do you know what? I lied. Actually one night he dared to kiss my neck. Eek! Can you say icky, repulsive and repugnant? I know I thought all these words and much more in less than a second. I know, I know, I shouldn't complain. Probably I was the first girl he had kissed in his whole life... and why should *I* pay the consequences?? It's not my fault if my ex had centuries of practice!!

Speaking of my ex I wonder what will he do when he sees me. Surely ask me what the Hell I'm doing in his office after my stunt there last time. I can already see his face when I tell him I'm coming to stay. Well, not stay as in leaving Sunnydale but as in never ever leaving his side again. I swear these months have been enough for ten lifetimes. Then he'll (and I have no doubt about this) repeat his speech about my security and the unfairness in such a relationship and then I'll tell him about the spell Anya gave me. I actually love that girl. Well... not love... uhm... you know what I mean. I am lucky that she had been a demon for all that time, she certainly knows about lots of things, including old forgotten curses... She gave me it some days ago. What? Why didn't I go immediately to Angel? I will just ask you one thing: WHO left who? *He* is the one who should be on the road, not me. But well, I guess I can't live without him anymore, no matter how stubborn and broody he can get. And well... after all this time with Riley... don't you think I'd NEED a *good* kiss?
