Author's Notes: This is my first new season story.  It deals with the phone call between Angel and Buffy in the premiere of both shows.  Well non call.  Anyway this is angst, big time.  Because I do it so well.  Anyway hopefully I’ll do more happy fic later.  Enjoy.

Feedback: Please! Send feedback but no flames.

I know who called me, as soon as I hung up I dialled *69.  It was a number I didn’t regonize, but I knew who had called.

Angel.

It explained the L.A. number and the silence.  I guess he was checking up on me, I understand.

I also know why he didn’t say anything, he didn’t want me to know.  I guess in his day they didn’t have *69, Hell in his day they didn’t have phones.

Maybe he just wanted to hear my voice, I know I want to hear his.  I wrote down the number, maybe I’ll call him sometime.  Maybe I’ll talk to him, or maybe I’ll just listen to his voice and not say anything.

Because I know that Angel and I should keep our distance, it’s over and maybe it should stay that way.

Angel and I weren’t exactly the poster couple for stable relationships, but I’ve never felt that way before.  I probably never will again, what Angel and I shared only comes once in a lifetime.

I know I should be freaked by what he did, especially what he did to me when he didn’t have a soul, but I’m glad he did it.  It shows he’s still thinking about me, I think about him all the time.

How can I not?  How do I put Angel behind me?  I know I should, but it’s so hard.

Maybe he’ll call again, I hope he does.  Just so I can know that I’m on his mind.  That no matter what happens we’ll always be each other’s heart.

Despite it all I know that I’ll always love Angel, and that he’ll always love me.  That’s why he called, why I hope he does it again.  Just so that I can know that despite everything we’ve been through, he loves me.

I need that.

THE END
