Don stood outside of the door, am I dreaming this….I mean how….

He slowly opened the door, if this is a dream I don't want to wake up from it. He shut the door softly. Angel lied so still, so peaceful. He lower his head and gently shook it. I…just do it. His heart told him. She's….

Don held Angel's hand. A feeling surfaced inside her, one that she hadn't felt in years. The first time that I felt ….the first time that I had such intense feelings like this was….

Flash back: Angel looked into his eyes, those eyes that took her breath away and almost stopped her heart. He slowly touched her face. A giggle escaped her lips as he ran his hand down the side of her face. She was unable to look away unable to see anything but him. She rapidly blinked her eyes. His hand lifted her chin and that was all she saw but she felt her a soft gentle kiss on her lips, that sent a warmth spreading through her like a wild fire. Even though the kiss only last for a moment but it was long enough for her to know it felt right. Leaning close as he possibly could he slightly pushed her against the metal lockers, his body inches away from hers. She knew that what ever this was wouldn't last but for now she would just let go and go with the flow of things. He pressed his mouth onto hers again but this time lower on her neck. "this way…" she heard his voice say. They headed farther into the locker room towards the showers. "I don't know…"

"Nothing's going to happen if you don't want it too…"

"But I…..I think I want it too…." Running his hands over her shirt she let out a moan.

"I…."

"Yes," he locked lips with her again.

Heat began to arise deep inside her bones. Angel, in an emotion that she couldn't put a name on….something she thought was dead and buried was now back and back with a vengeance. Angel's fingers began to twitch. Don looked up at her. Her eyes slowly opened. Don stared for a second, How could I not have known that it was her. Those eyes, I ……should have known….he looked down at the two of them holding hands. The feeling…. Angel blinked a few times.

"Don?" she closed her eyes. "Where am I? Am I dreaming?" Angel shook her head with her eyes still closed.

"No, it's me…Angel." He placed both his hands around hers. "It's me." He sniffed.

"Why am I here?" she looked around. "In a hospital."

Hawkes walked in.

"I see your awake, how do you feel?" Angel smiled.

Don sighed. I know how I feel. You have bad timing….I …. .He got up and left.

"Don't leave on my account." Hawkes called.

"I'll be back." He winked at Angel just before the door closed.

"What was that all about?"

Angel just shook her head. "I wish I knew. He's just a friend…." Just a friend, are you kidding yourself. Her mind told her. He is more then that and you know I feel something deep down here her heart told her. Something warm….something amazing..

"A really good friend…" she smiled.

Hawkes knew those kind of smiles one that told him that she was in love with Don and they had a secret.
