He smiled and blushed. "I think I really like you." he said blushing brighter and smiling clearly happy that he finally said it. "I couldn't stop thinking about you these last few months and when I found you I thought I was seeing things then saw that it really was you, I was happy to see you, I just wish that it was under better circumstances."

"W-what? What? I... I don't think I heard you right... Y-you... you like me? Like... Like me like me?" Lilith asked in shock and disbelief.

He blushed and tried to hide it. "Yeah. I like like you." he said and laughed nervously. "If you don't feel the same way it's okay." he said though hoped she did, he never told a girl he liked her because he didn't know what he'd do if he was rejected. He felt tense though relaxed with her in his lap and comforted by the closeness, if she rejected him he'd feel so awkward considering.

"N-no... i-it's no t-that... I... I've just never had anyone like me back before." Lilith said her cheeks still quite red making her want to just hide her face in his neck or something.

He smiled happily and hugged her close to him while hiding his face in her neck only slightly noticing her scent. "I'm glad that you like me back. Your the only one I've even told I liked, there were a few but we only talked and then went on our way, not really friends just aquintances and I didn't want to be rejected." he kissed her neck softly and smiled. "Your skin is soft."

Lilith smiled a bit and could feel his cheeks so warm against her skin. she then berried her own face into his neck as well but nipped him a little before laughing some. "Yours is soft too" she grinned

He gasped softly feeling her nip him and this made him smile wider. "Does that mean I'm yours?" he asked. He knew she knew what he'd mean by that. He was happy like this. He was just happy to have some time to himself to spend with her.

Sinz smiled a little and nuzzled him again. "It means that I really like you." she smiled easily and happily really enjoying the closeness.

He held her closer to him and liked this feeling, it was the first time that he had cuddled with someone that wasn't Trish, they'd never been together but there were cold nights and some nights they just didn't want to sleep alone. But this felt different. This was a lot more enjoyable. "You want to hunt together?" he asked her. "I can show you how I have become for good at hunting."

"Sure" Sinz smiled a bit as she nuzzled him but soon let out a yawn feeling really tired after all that had happened that day and for the last few weeks as well.

He smiled and kissed her. "You should get some rest, you look tired, and we can do that tomarrow, I'll be right back and I can have Kai up here watching you. Then after I come back if you want we can cuddle." he said smiling happily. He knew she was tired and he cared for her a lot.

Lilith smiled and nodded before moving to lay down in the bed tiredly. "I think I would really like that." she smiled really liking the idea of cuddling with him and having him close as she slept.

He smiled and hugged her then stood up. "I'll be back after Kai and I are done hunting. She'll be tired by then." He then made sure he had everything and went outside and mounted Kai, she knew what was coming and she bolted for the spot she could smell her favorite game of the day in. It changed all the time. They arrived and saw mountain lions and he shot one with his bow and let Kai kill one. He cooked his while Kai dug into hers. When his was done he ate his fill then cut the rest off the bones and stored it in his portable cooler and got everything ready again and headed back to the inn. When he got back to the inn it actually was quite dark and he walked up to his room quietly then smiled seeing Lilith. He sat down on the bed and tapped her shoulder. "Hey cutie you up?" he asked quietly.

Lilith had eventually laid down more and curled up under the covers to wait for Angel. She was just about asleep when she heard the door open and moved a bit to smile up at Angel tiredly. "I was almost asleep." she laughed a little before wrapping her arms around his neck and leaned over to nip him tenderly before just nuzzling her face into his neck.

He smiled and wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her as well. "What can I say Kai found food quickly tonight." he said. "Shall I get ready for bed so I can join you?" he asked kissing her softly. The closeness and the comfortable feeling was great, he loved feeling so loved already, maybe that time away was for the better, as much as it sucked.

"Yes" Lilith laughed a little before letting him go so he could go and get ready for bed, she was still quite tired herself.

He smiled and got up and took his weapons off then his top and left his pants on. He smiled and laid down in the bed and held her close to him sighing happily as he relaxed and snuggled Lilith. "You comfortable?" he asked her. He liked this feeling, it was comforting and relaxing. It didn't have that feeling he felt when him and Trish used to when they were younger.

Lilith blushed as she saw him taking off his shirt then smiled and cuddled with him easily before nodding. "Very" she smiled easily before yawning and cuddled into him falling asleep shortly after

He smiled and fell asleep shortly after as well. The morning came and he was half awake just resting he was awake but kept his eyes closed and rested liking the of them cuddling while she slept. He wondered if she'd forget what happened last night and freak out or be happy about this and remember what they had said. He was happy to have rested so well sleeping with Lilith in his arms. He laid there and rested.

Lilith smiled in her sleep and easily stayed close to Angel even as she started to wake up feeling as though Thomas was looking for her. She groaned a little before just nuzzling Angel and smiled happily not wanting to move

The next couple weeks were some of the best Angel had had in a while. They got closer and closer each day and he couldn't have been happier witrh that, Kai even grew tolike Lilith and she was cautious about everyone besides Angel. They had hunted together and Angel didn't mindletting her have someblood here and there. Trish let them stay at the buisness and Angel helped there whenhe wasn't soending time with Lilith and Kai. He laid down that night with her in his arms and smiled. "Today was fun. I cant believe that wolf thought it could take Kai on like that." he said laughing softly. Kai took it out quickly. "Have you contacted Thomas and lethim know your safe?" he asked. He almost forgot about him but he knew that if he wasn't contacted he'dshow up.

"I know I don't know what he was thinking but whatever it was he certainly won't think about it again" Lilith laughed as she laid down and cuddled with Angel then thought some. "Huh... you know I sent him a few letters but he never answered any of them, he might not know." she frowned some before shrugging a bit. She had loved getting even closer to Angel and was almost addicted to his blood by now, it was just so sweet and tasty she couldn't imagine drinking anything else for long periods of time. "So what's the plan for tomorrow?" she smiled brightly before kissing his throat softly and nipping him teasingly knowing he loved it.

"Maybe we'll go visit with Thomas, hows that sound?" he asked smiling and shivered lightly loving the nipping. "You know that drives me crazy love." he said smiling. It felt good when she did that. He did wonder if Thomas would like seeing him again. maybe be grateful that he had saved her from being executed. He kissed her happily. They actually had gotten quite close and he was addicted to her. He loved her so much and she amazed him everyday. Though he hadn't the nerve to ask about going further yet and hewas happy with waiting he was happy to have her company and love.

"I have no idea where he is though... if I knew I would certainly like to go and make sure he's okay though." she said easily "Why do you think I do it?" Lilith grinned happily before kissing and nipping his neck again. Honestly she had thought of them getting... closer but she was just too embarrassed at the thought to mention it and felt that he probably would rather not.

He smiled at her comment about the nipping. Then nodded at the comment about Thomas. "I'm sure if you wanted to Kai can track him with a visual of him put into her mind." he said. "Sometimes I have to do that to find my marks, let her see the picture or send them through my thoughts and she can find them. He saw that she was thinking and smiled. "What are you thinking about cutie?"
