He slipped closer to the edge of the bed. He brushed his lips gently against hers. She responded and tried to push herself closer. He wasn't having it, though, he wanted to go slow, in case she decided to change her mind. He realized that she wasn't going to change her mind. They started to kiss harder and they got closer and closer with every passing second. After a while, the need for air forced them to break apart. Vince happened to glance over at the clock and groaned. It was about midnight. They had only been asleep for a couple of hours the previous night and then they had spent all day in his room, sleeping off the previous night's events.

"You do know that we've been in here since after your shower last night?' Vince raised his eyebrow as he asked her that question.

"Yeah, kinda figured that. Do you find it odd that no one has come to get us?" Angel looked at him as Vince plopped back down on his bed.

Vince sighed. "They probably tried but gave up after like the fifteenth time of trying." Vince chuckled. Angel laughed outright. Vince watched her as she laughed and realized that he wanted to do right by this woman who acted so much older than she really was. As he leaned over to kiss her, banging started to come from the door. Vince growled as he got up to answer it. Angel sighed dejectedly, if that was Leon how was she supposed to face him now that she told V how much she really liked him, she even told him she loved him. That wasn't too far from the truth actually, she thought, I really do love him. But how am I supposed to tell Leon? She looked up when she heard Leon's voice sound from the other side of the door. "Leon, we've been talking nothing else." Vince sounded as if he was trying to not let Leon into the room. Leon pushed his way in anyway.

"Nothing, huh?" His voice sounded way too high for him. "Then why she is crying!" Leon nearly screamed it but not quite, he simply decided to raise his voice even louder than it already was, which wasn't saying much. Vince's head swung over to Angel and his eyes took in her tear-stained cheeks and slightly puffy eyes.

"Leon, V didn't do anything to me. Like he said, all we were doing was talking. Um…why don't you sit down Le." Angel was scared, Vince could tell. Leon leaned against the wall next to the door instead. His face was hard and had an unreadable expression. Angel bit down on her lower lip. "Leon," a sigh interrupted her. "Leon, why don't you just go to bed and sleep off the alcohol you've ingested?" She was really scared about his reaction while he was drunk. Leon's eyes narrowed but he left anyway. Vince watched as Leon left without so much as a 'goodnight.' She looked up at Vince. "You do understand that I didn't want to tell him while he was drunk, right V?" Her voice sounded childlike for someone who seemed so confident and could be outspoken if she really wanted to be. But she doesn't really want to be confident or outspoken, Vince thought, she simply wants to disappear or so it seems by how she's been acting lately. Vince nodded. Angel smiled a liquid smile as she laid down after he did.

"I'm not keen on having Leon pissed off at me either." Vince chuckled. Angel rolled her eyes at him. Vince laughed and pulled her closer.

Angel climbed the basement stairs the next morning pretty slowly. When she reached the kitchen catcalls and whistles were blown her way. She glowered at the team in the kitchen. She growled.

"Don't say a single word and no one gets hurt." She wasn't in the mood to deal with them and their teasing about being in Vince's room for two whole days.

"Did you get any?" She shot Letty a look that told her 'no' in one swift glance.

"No. Leon came down last night though and I tried to tell him about me not really liking him that way anymore but I just couldn't do it. Plus he was drunk so I really wasn't keen on telling him then." Angel sat at the table and put her head in her hands. Mia set a plate of pancakes in front of her. "Thanks Mi. Are these blueberry pancakes?" Mia nodded. Angel narrowed her eyes in suspicion. "Okay, you don't make me specialty pancakes unless I've done something to either piss you off or something that you really like." Mia and the others just looked at her like she was crazy.

"We're just happy that you chose Coyote instead of Leon." Letty watched as Angel's eyes turned to steel, but she kept eating the pancakes.

"Thanks for the pancakes Mia. I think I'll head home and then head to the garage for awhile. I got some touchups to do to that Honda Civic." Angel felt everyone's eyes on her back as she left via the back door. Angel sighed as she leaned against her kitchen door. Leon had left her a note on the kitchen table.

Angel,

I know you have something you really gotta tell me. Please wake me up when you get this.

Leon.

"Hmmm. Aiight Le, I'll wake your ass up." Angel crumpled the note in her hand before heading up the back stairs to Leon's room. Angel didn't bother to knock on Leon's door before entering his room. She thought about how to wake him up and then decided to just jump on the bed right on top of him. She took a running start and leapt onto Leon's bed. Leon sat bolt upright causing Angel to sit up before they bumped heads. Angel started laughing at the look on Leon's face. He was shocked senseless and he had a slight hangover from all of the alcohol he had had the previous night.

"Angel, why the need to jump on my bed?" Leon asked this while trying to reach the bottle of aspirin sitting on the nightstand next to his bed.

"You said you wanted me to wake you up when I got home. I only did what I was told." She stuck her tongue out at him. "Why did you want me to wake you up anyway? Aside from the fact that you think I have something to tell you?" Leon just looked at her, like, 'You gotta be kidding me.' "What?"

"I know you Angel, come on. Tell me?" Leon looked a like a baby when he asked her that. 'He is so shameless when it comes to me.' Angel thought sardonically.

"Okay, so I have something to tell you. So what? No big in any case." Angel shrugged as she got off of Leon's bed. Leon followed suit. He grabbed her arm before she made it out of the bedroom door. She whirled, her arm up and her hand balled into a fist, ready to strike. Her eyes widened and she dropped her arm immediately. "Sorry," she mumbled.

"Angel, c'mon, just tell me before something happens and you never get the chance to tell me. Please?" Leon watched intently as she fought with herself about whether or not to tell him. She sighed and he took that as his cue he could let her go without her running off.

"Aiight, I'll tell you. Sit down."
