I got dressed while Angel got her stuff and I was surprised when she came back with one little blue suitcase full of clothes and her backpack and that was it.

"This all you have?" I asked her and she nods "you have money… don't you?"

"Yeah" she says throwing me a brown envelope I peeked inside and saw dollars like a lot of dollars, this thing was thick with money I pulled one out curious to even see if it was real and not like Monopoly money but it was real and they were all fifty's, and hundred's, she must have had thousands of dollars in here. 

"Where uhh where'd you get this?" I asked handing it back 

"My dad," she says

"Okay," I nodded, "this really all your stuff?"

"Yep, travel light, easier than way" she smiled 

"How long have you been traveling?"

"Last year or so" she shrugs 

"Why are you traveling if you don't mind me asking?"

"It's a big world cowboy. I wanna see it all" she smiled handing me something else it was a bundle of postcards with an elastic band, "that's everywhere I've already been" she smiled as she started getting dressed, I flicked thought and it was impressive seeing all the postcards all with one or more polaroids stuck on the back where you'd usually write messages all of them were here in these places, she'd been all over, london, glasgow, LA, barcelona, mexico, canada, she'd even been to australia, 

"This is amazing, have you always had this…. Wonderlust?"

"No. Never even left my home town till I was sixteen."

"What changed?" I asked her 

".... Stuff." She shrugs avoiding my question as she finished getting dressed "got a wonderlust yourself cowboy" she giggled looking at my trophies on the windowsill

"It's Benny. And not really, they just move chess tournaments around alot" I shrug 

"If you get somewhere to go soon, could you take me with you" she smiled

"... I don't see why not angel" I smiled to her "but come on you wanna go see central park?" I asked her 

"Yeah!" She smiled excitedly putting her backpack on 

"Alright, come on I'll drive you" I smiled at her getting my hat and keys, I offered her my hand and she happily took it. I lead her up to my car making sure to lock the door behind us we got comfy in my little car and headed off thought the busy new york streets she kept digging in her backpack but I didn't focus on it I needed to focus on the road until I saw a flash I looked to her and noticed she had a nice polaroid camera in her hand and she giggled "you taking pictures of me?"

"Yeah, maybe I'll put you on a postcard Benny" she giggled shaking the photo in her hand and putting it in her bag 

"Maybe." I laughed, I found a place to park and I offered her my hand, she packed her stuff away and took it. I lead her to the park and the moment we got into the park she ran off like a child looking at sculptures, flowers, ponds anything she could look at, we walked around four what felt like hours and yet I never got tried, she was so happy she had even gathered lots of flowers as we walked and had made hersya little flower headband, even if I often had to tug her away from things, like trying to get to close to some ducks, climbing in the bridge, till we settled on a bench watching the sun across the sky 

"Thanks Benny" she smiled laying her head in my shoulder

"No problem, I don't mind showing you around while you're here. And if you wanted I don't mind taking you with me when I go places"

"Why would you wanna hang around with me so much? You barely know me?"

"You're fun. I like the way you think" I shrug "hey, you wanna go get a postcard?" I asked her and she nodded so I happily let her take my hand and we wondered around a while till she found a little stall selling papers, postcards and all other such little things, she picked one out and paid it was a drawing of some people say on a bench in the park with new york central park across the top 

"Come on" she giggled, tugging me along with her to a very beautiful tree with some beautiful blooms. She got her camera from her backpack. I took it from her going to do her picture for her but she stopped me "don't you wanna be in my picture?" She giggled 

"You want me to be?"

"Of course I do, come on" she giggled so I stood close to her as she set her little camera up I couldn't help but smile at her and I have her cheek a sweet kiss as she took the picture she took it and shook it and it came out perfectly "Humm a little blurry" she says even if it looked perfect "maybe we should do it again"

"Angel. If you want me to kiss you again, just ask" I laughed and she smiled giving my lips a little kiss 

"Come on let's get ice cream" she giggled
