That night Buffy cried until she fell asleep. She thought that when Angel kissed her, that he felt that spark that went throughout her body. The kiss was magnetic. She decided not to leave his room until he needed to take a shower or change his clothes. The thought that annoyed her the most was that she could smell that musky scent that was uniquely him inside the bedroom.
Meanwhile Angel lay back on the couch replaying the kiss in his mind over and over again. Her lips were soft, sweet and delicate against his. Her fingers finding it's way around his neck made a perfect fit just made for her; as his hands held her closely at her waist. He's kissed other women before, but not even Darla came as close to the way Buffy's kiss had affected him. He needed to find a way to explain to her that he really cared for her, but he couldn't pursue a relationship with her while she was still married with Riley.

Buffy decided to take a shower to try and forget about that kiss she had with Angel, but how could she was still in his apartment. As the water went through her hair and fell down her back, she knew that she would have to leave today. Buffy made a decision and that she didn't need a man telling her what was best for her. She stepped out, got dressed and headed out of his bedroom only to bump right into him.
"I'm sorry Buffy."
"It's okay Angel. I won't be in your way any longer. I'll be heading over to my parents' house tonight," she said and walked away. Angel was stunned by her reaction. He couldn't believe that she could be this way.

For the rest of the day Buffy avoided Angel at all costs. She didn't want to be near him after what happened. Angel decided to give Buffy her space and went out for the day. He needed to sort out his feelings for her. So he headed over to see Spike and tell him what happened. As he entered Sunnydale Police Department he spotted Spike sitting by his desk.
"Hey Spike. How's it going?" he said and sat down next to his desk. Spike looked up at his friend and noticed the saddened expression crossed over his face. It could only mean one thing he's in love.
"I'm fine. But the looks on you face tells me you not fine."
"How can you tell?"
"Geez Angel, it's obvious your strung over for a girl. So who is this special lady that captured your heart?" Angel thought about it for a while and answered his question.
"Buffy."
"Buffy, huh? She's got quite a weird name there." Angel lifted his eyebrows to that statement.
"I'm sorry and Spike isn't?"
"Okay, okay you win. So why aren't you with Buffy instead of here with me?"
"Well for one thing, I messed up. I kissed her and she's married," Angel sighed.
