GREEN EYED MONSTER (9/?)
"Where the hell have you two been?" the dark voice said from the shadows
as the girls walked into the office.
"Eek!" Willow shrieked, holding her chest and trying to get her heart
to
stop beating so fast. "Spike!"
The light flipped on as Spike stared at them, his eyes unreadable.
"Well?"
"I don't know what you're talking about" Cordelia said sweetly, winking
at Willow as she sat at her desk.
"Don't give me that, Delia" Angel said, his expression pissed off.
"You've been avoiding us. Why?"
"We haven't been avoiding anyone" Willow said, rolling her eyes as she
sat down. She looked pointedly at Spike's boot planted firmly on her
desk. "Ahem.."
He glared at her, a sneer crossing his lips, "We haven't seen either
of
you in over three days. That's avoiding pet."
"Three days is avoiding?" Cordelia said, chuckling. "Whatever."
"You two make it a point to get here when you know that we're sleeping
and you're both gone before we wake up. Why?" Angel asked.
"Well, excuse us. We didn't realize part of the job was being here when
you were awake." Willow said, her tone sarcastic.
"Be honest." Spike spat out. "You two have found yourself some man and
don't have time for us anymore. Some friends."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Cordelia demanded. She was happy
to see them both so upset but she had no idea why they were being
downright rude about it.
"Jason from the Cutting Edge. Sound familiar?" Angel hissed, his eyes
narrow.
Good grief. They're jealous, Willow thought. She almost smiled. "You
know Jason?"
"Do we know Jason?" Spike asked, his tone irritated. "Stay away from
him. He's a demon."
"I know. A very nice guy actually" Willow said, smiling at Spike's
anger.
"But, we aren't involved with him" Cordelia said, her tone snappy. "You
boys had better check your facts before accusing us of slutting around."
"We saw you two last night...that demon said he was with you" Angel
said, his tone suddenly doubtful.
Willow laughed, "And you believed him? You just got through telling
us
to stay away from him, yet you believed him. Makes a lot of sense guys."
"So, you aren't with him?" Spike asked, suddenly feeling elated.
"No. Not with him, though I have fallen in love" Willow said sweetly.
"What?" Spike demanded.
"Me too...isn't it wonderful? I love being in love" Cordelia said,
smiling an honest smile.
"You're in love" Angel said softly, wondering why he was so upset.
Spike felt as if someone had stabbed him. He looked at Willow's bright
eyes and tried to smile, "That's great pet. But, stay away from that
Jason guy. He's bad news."
"That's great?" Willow repeated. "That's all you have to say?"
Spike shrugged, "What can I possibly say? You look happy."
Cordelia snorted, "Well, at least she isn't pining away after you
anymore, Blondie."
"Delia!" Willow shrieked, her face turning red as Spike's eyes widened.
"What? I am thrilled you aren't panting after blonde boy anymore"
Cordelia said with a smile. "Just like I've moved past Angel."
"Past me?" Angel said, confusion in his eyes.
Willow laughed, seeing suddenly what Cordelia was setting up. She stood,
going to her friend's desk. "Now now...we are still getting over them
both so I can't say the feelings are completely gone."
"Oohh..honey, don't tell me that. I might be jealous of blondie"
Cordelia said, smiling as she ran her hand over Willow's face. She
noticed Spike and Angel both watching, their expressions curious and
surprised by the news that they had heard. She moved close to Willow.
"I
want to be the only one you fantasize about now, Red."
Willow chuckled, the sound husky as she leaned forward slightly, "You
will be, Delia." The girls lips met in a passionate kiss, their first,
as Spike and Angel watched open mouthed, realizing suddenly who exactly
the girls had fallen for. Each other.
