Chapter 11: Breaking All The Rules
Buffy couldn’t believe it. She knew that there was a reason that Fred had been so incredibly generous and caring. She thought that Fred cared about her but obviously Buffy had not known her ulterior motive then.
Incredibly furious, Buffy got dressed in a pair of faded jeans and a black halter and headed back into the living room where Fred was waiting for her alongside Wesley.
“Ready to go?” Fred asked sweetly.
“Actually, I’m not. Something’s come up. My father called.” Buffy lied. “Apparently, for some unknown reason to me, he’s back in town and he wants to see me.”
“I thought you weren’t close to your father.” Wesley spoke.
“I’m not. I’m not even sure how he got in touch with me or why.” Buffy continued. “But he asked to see me today. And I know how much you wanted to spend time together today, Fred--”
“No.” Fred shook her head. “He’s your father and you should see him.”
“Thanks.” Buffy agreed and nodded. “I’m really sorry about all this.”
“It’s not a problem, really.” Fred smiled. “You go see your father.”
“Thank you.” Buffy nodded, grabbing her jacket and her purse. “I’ll see you guys later then.”
She exited the apartment and it wasn’t until she was halfway down the street that she smiled to herself.
“Mission accomplished.”
