Chapter 2:

They showed Dawn into a room on the fifth floor, with her own bathroom, living room and even a little

kitchen thingy. "Oh my god! This is sooo cool!! You guys rock!!"

Cordy beamed, "Oh that's okay Dawnie! We're just so happy to have you here!"

"So, where's Angel? I wanna say hey."

Fred answered, "Oh, he's downstairs in the training room, Gunn just went to find him."

"Oh cool, I might to find him once I've unpacked."

After Cordy and Fred had left Dawn alone she did unpack, or at least, she poked her suitcases a few times,

then she lost interest and when to find angel.

The Hotel was exactly as Dawn remembered it, apart from one detail… She was exploring the basement

when she saw him… oh.my.god…who is that!??!?!!? He was tall and gorgeous, and half naked!!

The stranger was wearing only a pair of loose pants and.. was sparring with Angel? Across the room Gunn

watched and yelled things out.

Dawn didn't really notice this however, she was too busy staring at the guy, who looked about her age, and

was exactly the same height as angel, but much thinner.. but in a really hot lean sort of way. Dawn felt her

heart beat increase, her face grew hot and she suddenly had and urge to go and throw her arms around the

boy in front of her.

Who is he!?!? He's soooo hot!

Suddenly the cute boy's eyes flicked towards dawn's. They were blue eyes Dawn stared back into them

unable to look away, her heart thumping in her chest and a dizzy feeling spreading out over her body…

then the cute boy hit the ground Angel looming above him.

"Ha! I win!" He smiled and helped the boy up, then turned and looked at Dawn, "hey dawnie! Come over

here, I want you to meet someone."

Dawn gulped and walked unsteadily over towards them, she glanced up and her brown eyes met those deep

blue ones again and she suddenly stumbled. The boy quickly reached over and grabbed her around the

waist steadying her.

His hand felt hot against her and his breath was warm upon her neck. She looked up towards him, planning

to thank him and try to not look like an idiot, but when she did she realised his face was only millimeters

away from her own, so close she could feel the warmth of his body on her skin. And then she met those

eyes again and her breath stuck in her throat. They were a bright brilliant blue and rimmed in a darker

shade. The seconds seemed like hours and dawn was very aware of how close they were, of how her body

was pressed against the warmth of him.

Connor had sensed her presence in the doorway when he was fighting his father, and even then he'd felt

something .. different.. something ..*warm* about her. When he'd glanced up at her, he'd felt his breath

choke. She was beautiful. Her hair was long and brown, framing a delicate face on a tall slender body. Her

clothes where tight and showed every curve of her figure and connor felt an odd jolt in his groin, and then

she'd looked at him with her wide brown eyes and he'd felt his whole body shudder as an almost physical

force passed between them. Then he'd been lying on the floor, his father triumphant above him.

And now, now she was so close to him, the curve of her butt pressed against his hip and her neck was

almost against his lips. He found himself fighting an urge to kiss that smooth warm skin.. and maybe bite it

ever so softly between his teeth..

Then she'd turned her head towards him and Conner had forgotten

everything he was thinking about.. forgot his own name and found his entire body yelling against his will.

He wanted to touch her… her lips were red and puffy and he longed to press his own against them, to know

what they felt like. Then she'd met his gaze again and Connor had felt his will slip even more as her deep

brown eyes bore into his own, seeming to know his every though, and perhaps, share them.

Angel coughed quietly and Dawn and Connor moved apart as if they'd been shocked, their faces glowing

red. He looked from one to the other with a raised eyebrow, "Have you two already meet or something?"

Neither responded.

"Oookaayy.. Well, Dawn, Connor. Connor Dawn…."

They both glanced up avoiding looking actually at each other though and muttered vague greetings.

Gunn sniggered, "why don't you two go and… hmm.. get to know one another while Angel and I have a

serious talk." He nudged Connor and shoved him towards Dawn.

Angel sighed, "Come off it Gunn." He looked up at the silent teenagers before him, "Why don't you two

go.. play one of those ploy-station thingy games or something? Connor has all that type of.. stuff.. in his

room."

When neither replied he rolled his eyes and pushed them out the door towards the stairs, shutting the door.
