Buffy bolted up from her bed. Even after she had woken up the words "I will never forget" rang in her head. Pictures of Angel
flashed before her eyes, Angel in the sun, Angel and her in bed eating ice
cream, Angel and her making love on a kitchen table.
"God." Buffy thought. "I'm going mad, all that has
happened lately has finally made me crazy. Spike's feelings for me,
mother's death has finally pushed me over the edge. And now all these strange dreams of me and Angel,
together in LA. But why on earth would I dream about making love on a
kitchen table? Some secret fantasy?" Buffy blushed when she
remembered more vivid pictures of the kitchen table scene.
"I must get a life." She said aloud to herself. "But
what kind of life can I offer, part time student, part time slayer? Sorry
can't go out tonight darling, must slay some vamps. Yeah, no guy will believe that, and if someone did, he would leave me because he couldn't handle
it, like Riley...God, don't think about Riley. Riley is gone, I will go
on just like I went on after Angel. . .Angel spilling ice cream on his chest,
Angel walking toward me in the sun. Before Buffy could drift away into fantasyland her phone rang.
"Buffy Summers here." Buffy answered absently still thinking of
Angel.
". . ."
"Xander, if it's you, I swear to God I will kill y. . ."Buffy was cut
of by the voice of an angel. Her Angel.
"Buffy, it's me"
"Angel? What, why, how. . .God has something happened?" She asked, going through every possibly candidate in line for a disaster.
"No, no, I just wanted. . ."
"Wanted what?" Buffy asked a bit hard. Too hard she
thought too late as she practically heard Angel withdraw from the phone and her.
"I sorry," He murmured.
"No Angel, it's my fault, I shouldn't had been so hard to you."
Buffy said trying to make Angel not hang up. "What did you want
Angel?"
"I wanted to see you." He said hesitantly.
"God." Buffy thought. "He acts like I don't want to
see him. Just because every time we see each other we fight. . .right now I see why he acts like
that."
"Buffy." Angel asked again.
She snapped out of her thoughts.
"Sure Angel, you are welcome to come." She said feeling better
for the first time in two weeks since her mother died. "When are you
coming?
"Tomorrow." Angel answered.
"Ok, see you then. . .Angel."
"Yes. . . bye."
She could almost her him suppress an "I love you" before hanging up
the phone.
Evening, Sunnydale next day.
Angel stood nervously before Buffy's door to the college room she shared with
Willow. He had had at least ten panic attacks even before calling her, but
now it felt like he was about to faint.
"For God's sake Angel, just knock on the door." Cordelia said
impatiently.
"What if she is seeing someone? She could have met someone she
attracts guys like honey attracts bees. I should go." Angel
said turning to walk away when the door burst open. A blond, small thing
jumped him, made him lose balance and they fell together in a tangle of arms and legs.
Angel
was about to say something when she started kiss him all around his face.
"Ehh, guys." Cordelia said. Looking down at the two of
them kissing on the floor. "People are starring."
Angel managed to pull way, panting hard.
"Buffy, we should get. . ." He was cut of by a punch in the face by
his true love. Buffy glared at him. He just stared at her confused.
"Why did you hit me?"
"Because, you took away a day for me." She said looking hurt,
angry and happy.
"A day. . . you remember." He whispered.
"Ehhh, you know guys, I will leave you two to discuss this alone." Cordelia said and left.
Buffy and Angel rose from the floor and went into her and Willow's room.
"Well, Angel. Were you ever going to tell me?" Buffy said
staring into his nut-brown eyes.
"Buffy, I had to do it, you know why, what I don't know is how you possibly
could remember."
"I went to Giles after you called me and told him about the dreams that I
had had lately about you and me. He performed a spell to see if it was some kind
of demon trying to take control of my mind. Instead he found out that they were real memories. Believe me when I say that I was really
pissed when I
found out." She said.
"I know." Angel said, "My jaw feels broken.
"Serves you right," She said defiantly. Angel looked hurt at her
voice.
Buffy stared at him, feeling the anger melt away, and instead being replaced by
love. She felt the tears press behind her eyes, tears she had tried to suppress
since the death of her mother.
Angel saw how Buffy fought with her emotions, to keep the tears from falling.
She lost the fight and big tears started to fall from her eyes. With a sob she
threw herself into his arms, hugging and crying, whispering over and over again
that she loved him, that she couldn't stand to be without him.
Suddenly she went still in his arms. She reached to touch his heart the same way
she had done before her memory was taken from her. She whispered. "I felt
your heart beat."
Buffy held her hand over his heart. Not daring to believe what she for a second
had felt.
"Your heart Angel. It's beating." She looked up and Angel laid his
hand over hers.
"Yes Buffy, your love has made me human."
"I. . . how?" She whispered.
"I saved a young woman from a demon a couple of days ago. Next day I woke
up, with a heartbeat, and a craving for food. The oracles must finally have
found me worthy to be a human again. But I really don't care how or why I became
human again. My only thought was to find you. And I almost gave poor Wesley a
heart attack when I walked into the office in broad daylight."
"So when you called me. . .that was to tell me that you were human?
"Yes. . . you don't know how frightened I was that you would have moved
on...that you would have stopped loving me." Angel said looking down on the
floor.
Buffy caressed his face with her small hand, then she whispered into his ear. "I would never love anyone as I love you my love, my Angel."
Angel smiled at her and carefully kissed her.
When Cordelia with the company of Xander, Willow and Anya later returned the
door was locked and a sign hung on the door telling not to disturb.
"Well it looks like I will sleep at home tonight." Willow sighed.
"Stop it, you're giving me mental pictures." Xander yelled.
"Xander they are just having sex." Anya said. "Which reminds me,
we haven't had sex in 1 hour, how about your car?
Xander just stared at her.
"Do they always act like this?" Cordelia whispered to Willow, who only
nodded.
"Ehh. . . Anya..." Xander started to say, then he stopped. He thought
he heard something. It was coming from inside Buffy and Willow's room. Xander
felt his cheek flush red.
"What do you say about leaving?" He asked the girls.
"Good idea." Cordelia said looking slightly red herself.
"I'm with you." Willow said blushing like a tomato.
"No, wait" Anya said. I want to here them having se. . ." Anya
didn't finish the sentence as Xander clasped his hand over her mouth and dragged
her from the hall with Willow and Cordelia right behind.
