Chapter 6
A/N: There are no husbands, or boyfriends in this world, they just don't exist since everyone belongs to everyone.
A/N2: I have various ideas for next chapter but I'm not sure what to do. Do you want me to get Angel into conditioning and to turn him into Angelus or do you want me to make a clone of Angel and have both, Angel and Angelus?

It was not a long journey, but it turned out to be very awkward. Fred felt weird being so close to a savage; Buffy felt weird because Angel kept looking at her and when she looked, his hands became very interesting and Angel didn't want to do anything to bother Buffy. In the Reservation, women were very puritanical and if you looked at a woman she could easily get offended. He understood Buffy came from another world and maybe things were different there, but he still didn't know how to act around her.
Once they got to LA, Fred was excited about starting experiments with Angel, but Buffy was not convinced about it, so she started to give lame excuses. "Well, I guess he is tired, and well… mmm" What the hell am I going to say now. "I don't really care, what did you say you needed me for?" asked Angel. Shit. "But still, I mean, long journey, you have to eat and all… and well, you have to see the apartment! Yeah, that's it" She smiled. "OK?" Fred just nodded and she grabbed Angel's arm. "OK, we're leaving" She took him out of the building and to her apartment.
Once they were at Buffy's apartment Buffy decided she would start with small talk. He is not like Riley, or any other guy from LA. I just have to act normal, being myself, not acting like I usually do. I…She stopped thinking when she realized he had been talking. "Buffy?" "Oh," she blushed. "What were you saying?" He smiled at that. "I was just saying I like this place," he voiced quietly. "It's very different to where I come from," he said sadly, "but I guess you know that." He then looked at the floor; she probably was married or something. "Are you sure you don't mind me being here?" He asked. "I actually like it a lot now that you get to stay here." I love it when he goes shy on me; it makes him… sexy! … I shouldn't be thinking like this. "And… mmm" He said and stayed silent for a moment, then continued. "Will your husband mind if I'm here?" She looked at him strangely. "My what?" It was Angel's turn to look at her strangely. "Maybe boyfriend?" "Still lost here," she replied. "Anyone you share your life with?" He finally asked. "Oh, why would I want that?" She asked and he understood that maybe things were different in the Reservation. "Do you have someone back there?" She shyly asked. Since when do I act this way around a guy? "I had my mother… she died, I've never really had friends, or girlfriends. Girls just don't like me and guys see me as a weirdo, which I guess I am," he laughed bitterly. "Are they blind?" She asked without thinking. "What?" "Well, I mean, do you have a mirror?" She laughed. Ford, girls over there must be really blind. Hello! He is so attractive and so nice to be with… and, I want to get to know him, know things about him and… "What's a mirror?" He asked. "You know, reflection… ring a bell?" When she noticed his troubled look she just thought maybe they didn't have mirrors in the Reservation. She stood up and got a mirror from the bathroom. "Well, here you go." She sat down beside him and gave it to him. Their hands touched and she felt something she hadn't felt ever before. Wow, was it the same for him… a simple touch like this? How can I feel this way? Not even with Riley I felt like this… And I'm scared of this feeling, but at the same time I like feeling like this. She suddenly felt his lips on hers. This feels so good… She was about to deepen the kiss when he suddenly stood up. "I'm so,, sorry I shouldn't have… I better… " He then left to his room leaving a very shocked Buffy. Did he just apologize?
