GREEN EYED MONSTER (2/?)
 

Angel closed the door behind him and looked at Spike. "Wow."
 

"You're telling me" Spike said, shaking his head as the sensual little
package of Savannah Deliro left the building.
 

"The girls already left. It must have taken us longer than we thought"
Angel said, moving back to his chair.
 

"I lost track of time" Spike said, winking at his sire.
 

"Yes, well. I can understand that." Angel said, laughing. "So, we have a
new case."
 

"Helping defend the delectable Miss Deliro from her demony ex boyfriend.
Sounds easy enough." Spike said.
 

"Gawd, don't tell me your getting images of the bodyguard." Angel said
dryly.
 

"Nah. She's nice to look at but I don't think there is much up here"
Spike said gesturing to his mind.
 

"I noticed that too. A bit light in the brains department," Angel said.
He gathered the notes from the meeting, "I'll put these on Delia's desk.
You feel up to a trip to the bar?"
 

"Uh oh..sire's drinking. What's up?" Spike said.
 

"Spike, do you want to go to the bar or not?" Angel asked.
 

"Sure. I could use some alcohol." Spike said. "Want me to call the
girls?"
 

"No. Leave them in peace. This can a boys night out" Angel said,
laughing.
 

"Yippee!" Spike said, rolling his eyes. "Come on. Last one there has to
buy the rounds."
 

Angel locked the office, making sure Delia's light was off. She often
left it on when she worked late. He followed behind Spike knowing the
first round would be on him.

"I agree" Willow said, banging her fist on the table. "They're stupid,
selfish, blind jerks."
 

"Let's see how much they miss us when the southern belle leaves."
Cordelia said. "Bet they are wondering right now why we left early."
 

"If they even realize we did" Willow said dryly.
 

"Damn, you're right. What's the point in not wanting them if they aren't
ever aware they're not wanted?" Cordelia whined.
 

"They'll notice. Give it some time. What will they do when they need
something and we aren't there? Besides, we can start working cases at
night. Think of all the real normal ones we turn away because they
aren't sent by the powers that be." Willow added.
 

"You're right. We can go in when they're sleeping and be gone before
they wake up. We can start working cases at night and then we'll never
see them!" Cordelia said.
 

"Yeah...we'll never see them" Willow said softly. Shaking her head, she
added, "which is of the good. Because we've waited long enough. We're
too young to waste time waiting for them to wise up."
 

"Young and attractive" Cordelia said. "We could have any guys. Why wait
for them? Just because they're smart, sexy, attractive....and we love
them."
 

"But, remember? Absence makes the heart grow fonder. See? If we're never
around they'll realize they care about us too. If they don't, well, we
need to know that now."
 

"I got it. Tomorrow we will do anything we need to before they wake up.
We can be out of the office by two and working a case by the evening.
I'll even make sure we keep the machine on all the time even when we're
home. Let them worry for a change."
 

"We'll have to remember to tell Dennis the plan. Don't want him picking
up for us by mistake." Willow said.
 

Cordelia smiled, "This is going to be great. We can finally stop waiting
and start living again."
 

Willow smiled at her friend, "It will be lots of fun."
