"I'm not leaving until you talk to me," Buffy vowed.
"Talk about what?" Angel asked. "We said all there was to say last night."
"That isn't true," she said. "Willow's gone now; we can talk alone. I need answers."
He groaned and dropped down onto the sofa. She sat down beside him and tucked one leg under her.
"I don't understand why you're doing this," she told him. "Are you trying to hurt me?"
Angel looked at her coldly, "Everything is always about you, isn't it? I love Willow. It's as simple as that."
"That isn't simple at all," she contradicted. "I don't believe your feelings for me have just vanished."
"They haven't. They died a slow death months ago," he replied.
"I'll bet I can resurrect them," she said softly.
Before Angel realized what was happening, the slayer had pulled him down to her and wrapped her arms around his neck. She drew his mouth to hers and kissed him, sucking and nibbling at his lips.
"Angel," Willow's voice drifted across the room.
He pushed Buffy away from him and jumped off the sofa, ready to bolt after Willow. The redhead, however, had no intention of fleeing. She strode to the sofa and looked down at the blonde. "I suppose that was your attempt at seduction," she guessed.
"I don't have to attempt anything," Buffy snapped.
Willow shook her head, "Would you like me to show you how it's done?"
Angel looked at her in utter astonishment as she latched onto him. Her lips met his, and she kissed him hungrily. She gripped his cock through his pants and groped him. Angel moaned against her mouth and wrapped his arms around her.
"Willow"! Buffy shrieked as she scrambled off the sofa.
Willow grinned wickedly at her, "You can leave now or you can stay and watch us do it. Whichever you want."
Buffy looked from Willow to Angel.
"You heard the lady," Angel said. "She's about to be fucked."
"You two deserve each other," Buffy spat and stormed out of the room.
Willow looked at Angel and smiled., "I think we just got her blessing."
Angel laughed and kissed her, "I think it's the closest we're going to get."
"UCLA," Giles repeated. "At least it isn't terribly far away."
"I know, and we'll come back to visit," Willow promised.
"When are you leaving?" he asked.
"Tomorrow night," she answered.
"So soon? The fall semester can't start for a couple of months," he said.
"I know. I've been considering it for awhile, but after everything that's happened, both Angel and I decided it would be best to get away from Sunnydale. Buffy either can't or won't deal with our relationship. It's just too hard running into her every time I turn a corner. We can't stay here, not now." Willow explained.
The watcher nodded, "I suppose not. I know this hasn't been easy for you."
"Or for Buffy," she added. "She really is hurting, and in spite of all the angry words, I honestly never meant to cause her pain."
"I believe that," he smiled. "Buffy will come to understand that, too, in time."
"I hope so. I should go. Angel's waiting for me."
"Take care of yourself, and keep in touch," Giles asked.
"I will," she said.
"You're really going," Buffy stated.
"We're really going," Angel answered as he lifted the last of Willow's suitcases into the trunk of the car and closed the lid.
"You're making a huge mistake," she warned him.
Willow stepped beside Angel, and he put his arm around her. "I've made a lot of mistakes over a lot of years," he said. "This isn't one of them. Are you ready, kitten?"
"Ready," Willow nodded and turned to Buffy. "I'm sorry we're leaving this way, after all the years we've been friends. I'll think about you."
Buffy glared at her, "Do me a favor. Don't think of me at all."
The slayer turned on her heel and walked away.
"Time to go," Angel said softly.
"Past time, I think," she responded. "I love you, Angel."
Had it been capable, his heart would have pounded in his chest. He drew her close to him.
"Once more," he whispered.
"I love you," she smiled.
"I love you, too, Willow," he said as he drew her mouth into a gentle kiss.
