Angel walked down the dark deserted alleyway his mind kept going on back to her. 'Cordy' he thought to himself he wanted to run his fingers through her brown hair, drown in her hazel eyes, and holding her close so no one could harm her so he could protect her from them visions that caused her pain.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his brown spiked hair, 'I love her' he thought to himself but how could he tell her they were friends. He sighed in annoyance knowing if he could ask her what would she say to him she would probably shot him down like most of that ask her out.

Then he heard something behind him he turned around. No one was their his vampiric senses kicked in he could hear a heart beat in the dark. He got out the ax ready to attack. Then something charged at him it was purple in color with huge black spots all over it he could see raozor blade teeth. Drool dripped from the teeth as if it hadn't ate in forever. "Bring it on" he said as he got into his stance he waited until it near him and he swung with his vampiric strength. The demon fell to ground or shall we say 'pieces'.

Its blood was yellow the ground sizzled as it leaked onto the cold cement ground. He cringed he was glad that it didn't touch him "Well at least Cordy doesn't have to bandage anything" he said to himself. He went home unknowing to him that someone had heard him "You found some one you love Angelus well its time for you to feel the pain that i felt when you took my loved one away from me so many years ago" the person whispered into the wind and with a blink of an eye he was gone

Cordelia looked outside the Hyperion Hotel's window waiting for him to come back. She pushed her brown hair out of her face, her hazel eyes scanned the area watching for him. 'Cordy your in love with him.' she mentally yelled to herself. She closed her eyes and began to imgine him walking into the hotel running to her and taking her in his arms and he kisses her so passionatly. "Cordelia I LOVE YOU" he yelled then something snapped her out of it. "Cordy are you okay?" someone asked she turned around and saw Fred standing thier in a pair of jeans and Texas T-Shirt her brown hair up in a click. "Yeah just thinking is all" Cordelia said as she straighted her blue shirt and then she dusted off her blue jeans. "Oh okay just checking" Fred said as she went back upstairs.

"Smooth Cordy just space out right then and their" she said to her self "Why did you space out?" a soothe voice said behind her she turned around and their was Angel he had black jeans with red shirt and his usual leather duster. "Oh just thinking like I said. Well looks like that demon wasn't much trouble" she said as she looked him over not a scratch. "Yeah he was easy" he stated he watched her shift and lean on her right leg. "Thats good I was just making sure you were okay." she said then she grabbed her purse from under the cabinet. "Oh okay see you later Cordy" he said he watched her leave. He watched her hips sway he took a deep breath which he didn't need.

He went upstairs to his room and went to bed.

Cordy got home and through her purse on the counter and sighed. "Hey Dennis can start the bath please?" she yelled into the empty apartment the next thing she heard was the bathwater. "Thanks Dennis" she went in the bathroom and and undressed and sank down into the hot water. The water was so warm that she got tired and feel asleep in the bathroom. Unknowing to her that she was being watched by a firgue.
