Chapter 3
'in my arms'
Cordelia and Lediv sat closely together in a booth, he had his hand resting on her upper theigh while she smiled warmly at him sipping her mocha. She couldnt remember the last time she felt this comfortable around anyone out side of the people she worked with. She had pretty much thought she lost her sex appeal. She worked with Angel, who didnt pay any attention to her or the way she looked. Wesley only cared about smart acidemics things that were way over her head and Gunn..did he even like girls?
"Thinking?" Lediv asked her.
"Hmm?"
"I asked if you were thinking you had this far away look in your eyes."
"Yeah just thinking about work and how lame that party was. And how glad I am that I met you. I dont what it is about you but I just feel I can open up to you." Cordelia said to him.
"That's because you can. I already think your the most beautiful charming woman I have ever met. There's just something about you that I find very...irrerisitable." His voice was soft and seductive. Normally her gaurd would be quickly up but it remained down.
"Really?" She asked raising a brow to him. "Tell me more..a girl could just eat this stuff up."
'in my arms'
"Everything about you screams star. Screams model. Your eyes are so full of emotion..the windows to the soul, your alluring. When I saw you I knew I had to talk to you. I was drawn to you. Your like magnent..a gorgeous woman wo probably doesnt get the proper pampering she deserves. Let me give that to you Cordelia. Everything you could ever want..let me give to you."
'in my arms'
"Wow that's like a pleasent slap in the face..wait. I mean that sounds so tempting but I have to pass..I mean. I dont think I can. I have work and I cant just leave.." She started but was cut off by his finger on her lips.
"Shhh Cordelia. I'll give you time to think about it. Till then can I see you again?"
"Of course you can see me again. Here." She pulled out the card to Angel Investagations then put her home number on the back of it. "That's my work number and my home number. You can call anytime. I guess I should head home now."
"Would you like me to take you or call a cab?" He offered to her.
"No thats alright. I gotta stop by the office first. But call me so we can get togther again."
"Of course." Lediv leaned in a bit kissing her lips softly and tenderly. Cordelia felt a rush through her body like nothing she's ever felt before. It was an urgency to have more of him. But she pulled away looking a bit flushed. She smiled and excused her walking out. She felt like a giddy school girl. She wanted to stop by the office to make sure everything was ok so she headed towards The Hyperion.

'Sistine smile
you'll never know
the trap is set'
Angel couldnt find her at the party he heard that she left with some guy. Cordelia left with some guy. He felt his heart just, just what? Shatter. Yeah. His heart shattering into peices knowing that she went off with another man doing god knows what with him. His thoughts were aburbtly interuppted when Cordelia came through the doors smiling. Angel just looked at her.
"Angel! Guess what?" She shouted to him.
"What?" He asked dryly.
"I met a man tonight! Can you belive it! I mean yeah ok i've been working my butt off and it paid off! He's cute and got money and he's such a gentle man. I want you to meet him sometime."
"Cordelia you just met him..how can you be so excited over him?"
"I'm a girl I'm allowed. We spent the evening together left the party and got coffee and I just wanted to stop by and make sure you were holding down the fort."
"Wait you were with him tonight?"
"Yep I was." She said.
Angel got up and walked over to her smelling her.
"Angel what on earth are you doing? Stop smelling me!"
"Did you touch..sit near each other?"
"Umm yeeeeah."
"He has no scent."
"What do you mean he has no scent?" Cordelia said to him. "Everyone has a scent..even everyTHING has a scent."
"I dont smell him on your clothes..he's not human."
"Listen just because you dont have a social life doesnt mean you can stick your broody lil nose into mine." She was getting offened by him.
"I dont want you to see him again. Ever. He could be dangerous."
"Whatever Angel. Just because I go out and meet a guy he's automatcially evil? That's not saying much in your confindence about me finding guys." Cordelia turned from him ready to walk out the door when she felt his hand lightly grasp her arm.
"Cordy..you know what I mean. I just worry about you and I dont want to see you get hurt."
"Sure Angel, I'll be in tommorrow morning. But I might be a bit late." Cordelia pulled her arm from him and walked out the door.
Angel stood there. There was a scent on her, she had the smell of Hell on her. Not just a demon, not just a vampire but something different something he hasnt came across. But the sulfuric smell on her clothes was all to familar. He flipped off the light and headed downstairs to sleep. Or ponder who was trying to hang on his Seerer.
