How much time can I endure this? Picnics, dates, phone calls at every moment. it's just too much. I know I'm his girlfriend but it's all this crap really necessary?

Willow said any girl would have fallen madly in love just with one date. I agree with her. But I've not had *just* a date. Oh no, I just had to win the whole package, Initiative included. Just my luck. Of course, Willow didn't think either that no other girl has so much activity at night that she can barely open the eyes in class, much less participate in a conversation coherently. Well, at least I don't have to say much, just "Ahh" and "Ohhh". It's just that Riley doesn't seem to stop talking. Once he starts it's all "I did this." and "Prof. Walsh is so nice." and "The Initiative achieved that." As if I really care. I swear Angel was more interesting, and I'm talking here about 'I-don't-talk-unless-it-is-necessary' Guy.

How much time have I to endure his silly jokes and protective attitude?

But I also can't leave him. How many guys would know about my *job* and still say "Cool. How about at 8 at the Bronze". Well, that's not exactly how it happened but I'm still his girlfriend, am I not? So I guess it gives him some points.

Now you'll say that being alone would be better than this. Believe me. It's not. Been there, done that. And being with Riley isn't THAT bad. After all it's not as if I'll marry him and have kids and a white little house. And that's not because I'm a Slayer, it's because I'm Buffy and I don't love him that much. Heck! I'm not even sure if I love him at all.

Well, now I finish touching up my make-up. I guess it's time to continue with that 'oh so interesting' talk about the new demon he defeated. God. How much time till Angel finally gets back?

Go to the sequel, On the Road
