two souls in one chapter 16
Chapter 16
Half an hour later both women arrived at the hotel.
“Wow this place is great!” Buffy said in awe.
“Yeah.” Willow said
She walked into the lobby. All her friends were there. She saw Angel walking toward her and moved away. She saw the hurt look on his face. She turned and he followed her gaze and found Buffy standing at the door.
“Buffy what are you doing here?” Angel asked unhappily. Know he knew why Willow had moved and he didn’t like it.
“I came to visit.” Buffy smiled and walked over to him giving him a hug that he did not return.
“Geez slutty I’m sure peaches girl wouldn’t like you throwing yourself at him.” Spike said from his place on the couch. Xander sitting on his lap. He knew Red couldn’t say anything but he was happy to do it for her.
“Spike what are you doing here?” Buffy asked not letting her hold on Angel go.
“I live and work here.” Spike smirked
“Angel why would you let Spike work here. He’s evil.” Buffy stated
“He’s not evil.” Xander said angrily. “He is no more evil then Angel”
“Angel has a soul. Spike doesn’t, and why the hell are you sitting on his lap?” Buffy asked
Angel was finally able to get out of her grip. He went and walked to the other side of the room. He looked over at Willow and gave her a quick smile only she saw.
“This is where I usually sit. Spike is the best chair in the place and he isn’t that bad not lay on either.” Xander smiled and Spike chuckled.
“What?” Buffy asked confused
“They are together Buffy as in a couple. The have been since before they moved here.” Cordy said impatiently.
“What?” Buffy said look at the couple. ”How can you let Xander date him?” Spike will hurt him.”
“Spike would never hurt Xan.” Doyle informed
“How the hell do you know?” Buffy demanded
“Because it is true.” Willow said going and sitting beside Spike and Xander. “Spike loves Xander and would never hurt him.”
“Thank Red.” Spike said and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
“Willow you let him kiss you?” Buffy asked disgusted
“Of course.” Willow answered, “As long as we don’t get to friendly Xander doesn’t have a problem.”
Everyone laughed except Buffy.
“So Buffy how long you here for?” Cordy asked coldly
“I don’t know a few days, maybe more.” Buffy answered looking at Angel who was trying to ignore her.
“Where are you going to be staying?” Xander questioned
“Well I thought I’d stay here. You know it would be easier to catch up and everything.” Buffy said
Willow wasn’t happy at all. First of all Buffy shows up and thinks everything is forgiven, then wants help to get Angel back and now she wants to stay there. Which meant her and Angel could be a couple.
“I don’t want slutty the slayer here.” Spike piped up.
“Shut up Spike. It isn’t your choice.” Buffy said glaring at him. She then turned to Angel giving him a sweet smile.
Angel stood silent. He didn’t want the blonde in his hotel. He also didn’t want to listen to her whine.
“If you stay you have to behave. You treat everyone with respect.” Angel finally said
“Spike?” She whined
“Spike as well. If you can’ there is the door.” Angel replied
“Fine.” Buffy pouted then smiled, “want to show me to my room?”
“Cordy and Doyle will.” Angel answered.
“Grab your bags Buff.” Cordy said taking Doyle’s hand and heading up the stairs.
As soon as they were out of sight Willow put her head in her hands.
Angel walked over and knelt in front of her. “You alright?”
“I don’t want her here.” Willow said looking up at him
“What happened Wills? Where’d she come from?” Xander asked
“she saw me at the mall. Started talking like nothing had happened. She said she was over it. Asked me to help her get you back. Told her I would that you could date anyone you want. Then she was like show me where Angel lives. I didn’t know what to do. I forgot my cell here so I couldn’t call.” Willow said. She leaned her head against Angel and he kissed her head.
“It will be ok. She won’t be here long.” Angel said
“I hope so because you and I can’t exactly be a couple while she is. So that means I am back in the room I started with.” Willow pouted
“Great now I will never be able to sleep.” Angel growled. He had gotten use to sharing his bed with the redhead. He leaned down and kissed her. Before anyone could blink he moved like he had been burned and was now standing on the other side of the room. Willow had to blink a couple of times to figure out what happened.
She looked at Angel then saw Cordy, Doyle and Buffy coming down the stairs. With a sigh she leaned back against the couch.
“Willow what’s wrong?” Buffy asked
“Nothing why?” Willow asked
“You look flushed.” The blonde replied
“Red you getting sick?” Doyle asked sitting down and bring Cordy onto his lap.
“Oh no.” Willow shook her head. “I mean Spike just kissed me.”
She bit her lip as she looked at her friends beside her.
“Yeah I am sitting right here and he just goes and kisses her. Jerk.” Xander said and punched Spike’s arm.
“Sorry luv.” Spike said giving him puppy dog eyes. “Forgive me?”
“I suppose so.” Xander said trying to hide his smile
“Great now that you two have made up can we order food?” Buffy asked giving dirty looks at Spike
“Yeah let’s get Chinese!” Cordy said
“Sounds great.” Doyle said and kissed her cheek
“I was thinking pizza.” Buffy said, “Xan you want pizza don’t you?” she knew Xander could never give up a chance for pizza.
“Actually I am in the mood for some chicken balls and koo loo pork.” Xander replied
“Yeah I could go for Chinese.” Willow said nodding her head. She knew Angel loved ginger beef. And she loved watching him eat, but she also loved watching him talk. She pretty much just loved watching his lips.
“But what about pizza?” Buffy pouted looking at Angel
“Sorry Buff. Chinese trumps pizza.” Cordy smirked
Willow’s cell rang, “Excuse me.” She stood and walked outside.
A couple minutes later the office phone rang.
“Hello Angel Investigations we help the hopeless.” Spike answered
“Hey Spike it’s me. Can you put Angel on?” Willow asked
“Yeah just a minute.” Spike said, “Peaches it’s your girlfriend. She says she wants me more then you.”
“Funny Spike.” Angel mock growled and took the phone, “Hi baby how are you?”
“Hey I am alright you?” Willow asked
“I’d be better if you were here.” Angel said
They continued to talk for a few minutes. Willow hung up and walked back into the hotel. Angel was still talking on the phone.
“Alright baby I’ll see you when you get back. I miss you.” Angel said looking at Willow, “I love you and I will talk to you later. Bye.”
“Wills who was on the phone?” Buffy asked looking at Angel everyone could tell she wasn’t happy he just told another woman he loved her.
“Just a friend I met her on a case.” Willow said, “Angel was that Rose on the phone?”
Angel smiled ‘Rose’, “Yes she will be away for a few more days. She says she misses you all. Even you Spike.”
“Hey know don’t pick on my cause your girl thinks I’m hotter.” Spike smirked
“What she didn’t want to talk to me?” Cordy scoffed, “Geez I get you guys together and she doesn’t even want to talk to me. Rude much?”
“It’s alright you can phone her later and gossip about everything.” Doyle said and hugged her.
“I will.” Cordy beamed
“So she’s your girlfriend.” Buffy asked jealousy in her voice.
“Yes.” Angel smiled thinking about his redhead.
“How long have you been together?” Buffy asked
“Almost two months.” Angel replied
“They make a great couple. Never seen Angel so happy. Or Rose but since I haven’t known her as long as Angel, but still she seem very happy.” Xander babbled
“Rose has told me how happy Angel makes her and how much she loved him.” Willow stated
“Yeah and she has told me how great he is in bed.” Cordy chimed in knowing it would make Buffy uncomfortable.
Willow blushed and Angel cleared his throat.
The food arrived everyone ate and talked they all decided to go to bed early
