The fresh ocean air brushed against his face as he pulled the convertible to a stop by the all too familiar overlook. He closed his eyes, taking the night air into his dead lungs. The night was beautiful, the spot was perfect, and it was the same.<\/p>\n

The same tonight as every other night before that he had come here to think about her, to think about what might have been.<\/p>\n

The gravel and sand made a crunch under his black boots as Angel exited the car and looked up at the bright stars. They reminded him of her smile. The smile that he loved. The smile that had been gone from his life for months now. In the soft glow of the moon, the beach below shimmered.<\/p>\n

Closing his eyes, he thought that if he tried hard enough to picture that smile and her warm hazel eyes that he could paint her there in his mind, bathed in that glow like an angelic spirit.<\/p>\n

With a sinking feeling, he opened his eyes to the empty beach below, wishing that he would find her there. Hoping that he would find her there waiting for him as if all of these lonely months had been a bad dream. That\u2019s when he saw her. Focusing his eyes on the sandy shore below, Angel\u2019s legs became weak and unsteady.<\/p>\n

She was there just as he had sketched her image a thousand times in his mind. Her back to him, she was staring intently out at the ocean as if she were waiting for something or someone to come ashore. He couldn\u2019t move. His eyes were open, he knew it was her; but he hesitated, too afraid that she was just a phantom created by his mad ache and need to see her.<\/p>\n

His Cordelia. So for a moment he just stared, watching the same wind that touched his face caress hers. Then she turned\u2026and smiled. That smile that alone could threaten the barrier that kept Angelus at bay. In an instant, with inhuman grace and speed, he descended the cliff.<\/p>\n

\u201cCordy?\u201d was his choked whisper as he approached the smiling woman with apprehension.<\/p>\n

\u201cAngel,\u201d was her sighed relief.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh God, Cordy,\u201d Angel embraced her.<\/p>\n

Angel held her for what seemed an eternity. He needed to feel her, to know that she was real. Afraid to break their contact but desperate for answers, Angel pulled back only slightly to look into Cordelia\u2019s eyes. \u201cHow? Why? How did you\u2026?\u201d He couldn\u2019t seem to lasso his racing thoughts. Cordy placed a hand to Angel\u2019s cheek.<\/p>\n

\u201cAngel, every night I\u2019ve been here waiting. Waiting for you to find me, to come to me. To save me. Every night the same. I come and wait here by the ocean. Angel why didn\u2019t you come? What took you so long?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand. I\u2019ve been here every night. I\u2019ve been looking for you. Hoping, dreaming that somehow I\u2019d find you and bring you back home where you belong. I don\u2019t understand, I\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia wrapped her arms around Angel\u2019s waist and buried her head in his chest. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter now,\u201d was her muffled interruption. \u201cWe\u2019re here now, together. There\u2019s so much I want to tell you. So much I want to say to you. I was so frightened and alone, but I knew somehow it would all be OK. Somehow I knew it would all turn out right and it has.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel gently lifted Cordy\u2019s chin, tilting her lips up to meet his own. No longer needing answers, he knew that answers could wait. He just needed her. Needed to hold her, feel her, and never let her go.<\/p>\n

The enchanted kiss they had shared at the ballet so many months ago had filled his body with want and desire, but this kiss, this simple chaste kiss filled him with that and so much more. It not only filled his body and soul with want, desire, and need, but also love.<\/p>\n

Cordelia impatiently deepened their kiss, moaning into Angel\u2019s mouth. Responding to Cordelia\u2019s, as well as his own, frantic need, Angel pulled her flush against his body and met the pace of her hungry mouth with a savage need of his own. Breaking their kiss, Angel left Cordy panting as he showered her neck and shoulders with passionate nips and kisses.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh Angel,\u201d she whispered. \u201cOh Angel,\u201d she repeated louder and a little too enthusiastically.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh Connor!\u201d came her final orgasmic scream.<\/p>\n

Angel jerked in confusion and anger. Finally focusing his eyes to the dark surroundings in his room. Realizing where he was, realizing the dream, Angel threw the bedside lamp across the room, breaking it on the far wall. He buried his face in his shaking hands trying to block out his vampire senses that were allowing him to hear the last sigh of satisfaction from Connor and Cordelia\u2019s room down the hall. \u201cOh Connor.\u201d<\/p>\n

His stomach turned. His demon growled. It was the same dream. The same rude awakening. The same tonight as every other night before.<\/p>\n

End.<\/strong><\/p>\n
