After changing trains in Chicago, the pair were officially on there way to the City of Angels. Buffy was anxious at least over the past couple months she and Angel had been flying blind together but now they were going to be staying with his cousin. "Don't worry he lives under the radar, we'll be safe." Was all Angel had told her about his mystery relative.

Several hours later Buffy and Angel got off the train and walked into the dark train station. It was nice and warm but Buffy was still cold and clutched her sweater to her body.

"Excuse me Miss, I'm looking for the 11:30 train coming in from Chicago, do you know if it's arrived yet? I'm supposed to be picking up my cousin." A young Irishmen asked her, his smile was warm and Buffy thought if she weren't so afraid of trusting people she would have liked him.

"Doyle?" Angel asked as he peered at the man talking to Buffy.

"Angel man is that you?" Doyle asked making sure to keep his voice low. Never knew who could be hanging around.

"It's us," Angel smiled and extended his hand, Doyle took it and shook it firmly.

"Well what do you say the three of us get to your new place and have a nice chat." Doyle asked them as he helped Buffy with her bag and walked them over to his car.

"So about tomorrow...." Buffy prodded

"What about tomorrow? Your ready right you have all your questions and everything?" Angel asked her a bit worried that maybe she hadn't done everything she was supposed to. He was sure she had though they had discussed it and he helped her with the questions.

"Of course I do Angel, you know that." She said reading his mind and smiling up at him. "It's just that I don't want to go alone and wanted to know if you would come with me." Angel could hear the tiny amount of fear in her voice. He put on his biggest reassuring smile,

"Sure, I'll be there I don't have any classes tomorrow afternoon so it should be fine. Should I pick you up here?"

"Thank you! But um could you pick me up at school, instead?" She asked not looking him in the eye. She knew that he knew Riley always gave her a ride home; he often was already in her driveway when they pulled up. She really didn't want to explain that her boyfriend had broken up with her because he thought she was in love with her history tutor. She especially didn't want Angel to know that she thought Riley might be right.

"Oh umm sure that's ok." Angel sat as he went over every scenario that would not allow Riley to drop off Buffy. He had noticed the boy becoming distant and he and Buffy's good-byes everyday getting shorter and shorter. Plus he would have to be an idiot not to notice the death glares he received from the boy everyday. "Are you and Riley in trouble?" Angel asked he knew he was pushing but something inside him wanted to know if Buffy, the sixteen year old girl he wasn't legally allowed to date, could possibly be single.

"We broke up," Buffy was shuffling with her papers on the table trying really hard not to look at him. She didn't want him to see how upset she wasn't.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Angel replied in a much huskier tone than he had meant too.

From his tone it sounded to Buffy like he wasn't very upset about it. She turned to look at him and was caught in his gaze, his eyes looking darker now. She reflexively swallowed at his intensity.

"You are?" She whispered incredibly conscious of him being only about a foot away from her.

Angel conscious of the vibe she was giving off immediately stood up and picked up his books. It was one thing to fantasize about moments like this but it was not OK live them out. "I should go." He said as he was putting stuff in his back pack, this time it was him who wouldn't look at her.

"Why? Angel you don't have too." Buffy jumped up and stood in front of him forcing him to look at her.

"I've been doing a lot of thinking lately." Angel said breaking eye contact

"So have and I think I know what you're going to say." Buffy spoke not noticing that he was still speaking.

"I shouldn't be around you anymore," He pulled his back pack up over his shoulder. "Because when I am all I can think about is how badly I want to kiss you." It was the last thing he had said that caught her attention.

"Kiss me?" Buffy looked directly at the pair of lips in front of her and all she could think about was what they might feel like pressed up against her own.

"I'm older than you." He said making the mistake of looking back into her eyes.

"Not by much." The whispering words coming out softly over her lips, as she inched closer to him.

He moved forward and before he was aware of it he was kissing her. He slipped his lips gently over hers barely touching them. But then his pent up feelings rose with in him, he lifted his hands to cradle her face as he applied more pressure to her lips. Licking the seam of her mouth with his tongue begging for her to let him in. She opened her mouth and he began to massage her tongue with his stroking it in a fierce pattern. He could hear her mewl of pleasure and felt her hands move up and down his back until they finally settled on the nape of his neck. He moved his own hand into her hair to gain better control of the kiss. He pulled away seconds later the need for air overcoming his need for Buffy.

"Wow," was all she could say. He had to agree with her.
