Previously…
Joyce yawned, “I just came down to get some water, its 4.30, maybe you girls should think about getting some sleep now.”
“Yeah definitely.” Willow said and watched Joyce make her way up the stairs.
Willow groaned and covered her face with her hands. She felt Tara walk past her and placed her hand on the blonde’s shoulder. Tara spun round and avoided eye contact, “I think m-maybe we should get some sleep.”
“Umm, yeah.” Willow said before following the blonde upstairs to have a restless sleep.
… … … …
Willow sat opposite Tara at the breakfast bar in awkward silence. Every so often they would make eye contact, then quickly look away. Tara’s head was spinning from the previous nights events < Goddess I cant believe I kissed her. What a kiss…no Tara don’t go there. You have royally freaked her out so there's no point in even thinking about kissing the amazing redhead with the sweetest lips you have ever tasted…damn it! >
Willow was idly swirling her cereal round her bowl. < Should I talk to her about last night? > Willow glanced up at the blonde who was deliberately avoiding eye contact with her. < She won’t even look at you, she is so freaked out. > Willow sighed and emptied her breakfast in the bin.
“Not hungry?” Buffy asked as she entered the kitchen after getting dressed.
“Na…rumbly tummy.” Willow said.
Tara smiled at the cutenesss of Willow, then decided to concentrate on her breakfast rather than crush over the redhead.
“Oh well, you’re still gonna hang with us today right?” Buffy asked hopefully.
Willow didn’t think she could spend the whole day with Tara due to the tension between them, “Uh, I think I might go home actually. I might be coming down with something.” Willow said before moving to the hall to grab her coat and bag.
Buffy looked at the redhead confused, “Are you sure you’re gonna be okay?”
“Yeah, I’ll be fine, later Buffy…bye Tara.” Willow smiled at the blonde before leaving the house.
“Huh, that was weird.”
Tara looked sadly at the door the redhead had swiftly exited, “Yeah.” < She’s sick alright; sick of being around you. >
“You okay?” Buffy said before moving to sit opposite Tara, “You were talking with Will for ages last night but today you guys hardly said two words to each other. Did something happen?”
Tara gulped her food down guiltily, “No, I guess were just both tired.”
Buffy nodded and decided to leave it at that.
… … … …
Willow was lying on her bed listening to Sarah McLachlan. < Wow this is depressing. The perfect end to a crappy day. > She had tried to keep her mind off Tara for at least two seconds today, but had not succeeded.
“I can’t believe I kissed her!” Willow shouted out loud before covering her face with her hands, “I bet I was really terrible and slobbered all over her!”
Willow sighed in frustration and jumped off her bed. She switched off her stereo then made her way downstairs to grab her coat, “Right, gonna take a walk and not think about Tara…also gonna stop talking to myself.” Willow said before grabbing some holy water just in case and heading out the door.
… … … …
“I’m really sorry about this.” Buffy apologised whilst pulling on her leather jacket.
“It’s okay really.” Tara assured.
“I just really need to go to this meeting for um…the chess club and you would probably be bored out of your mind.”
It’s cool, I’m pretty tired anyway so I’ll probably go to bed early anyway.”
Buffy looked at Tara knowingly, “That wouldn’t have anything to do with a certain babbling redhead keeping you up till all hours would it?”
Tara smiled as she thought of the redhead. < Yeah like I needed reminded of Willow, its not as though I haven’t been thinking about her ALL day! >
“Well I’ll be back about ten, mom should be home from the gallery before that anyway. Bye, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”
“Which means I can pretty much do anything.” Tara joked.
“Later.” Buffy smiled at Tara before heading out the door.
Tara sighed and made her way to the living room for some serious moping.
… … … …
Willow was walking through Weatherly Park trying to think of anything but Tara. < Okay…stones, that’s a good start. Grass, trees, fences, leaves…Tara’s lips…NO! Not Tara’s lips…um okay…pavement, bench, flowers, vampire…VAMPIRE!? >
Willow yelped as the vampire noticed the approaching human and ran after her. Willow ran as fast as she could until she collided with Buffy. Buffy pushed Willow out of the way and landed a few blows to the vampires face before staking him. Willow was lying on the grass and Buffy offered her hand to her friend, “Will, what are you doing here?”
Willow took the offered hand and pulled herself up, “I was taking a walk.”
“At night…in Sunnydale?”
“I was prepared.” Willow showed Buffy the bottle of holy water.
Buffy looked sceptically at the bottle then back at her friend, “Yes because that would have kept him at bay for long.”
“Okay, my bad, I get the point.”
Buffy decided to cut her friend some slack and changed the subject, “So I take it your feeling better now.”
“Yeah kinda…where’s Tara?”
“At home, felt really bad about leaving her alone.”
“Well duty calls.”
“Yeah but…alone in that big house…no one to talk to…all alone.
“Very subtle.”
“I thought so.” Buffy grinned.
“I’ll stop by on the way home.”
Buffy hugged her friend tightly, “You’re the best.”
“So are you and…ow!”
Buffy let her friend go, “Whoops sorry, well as you said; duty calls.”
“Right, bye Buffy.”
“Bye.”
… … … …
Tara sat flicking idly though the T.V channels. She glanced briefly to the spot where she had kissed a certain redhead last night. < No thinking about Willow! No thinking about… >
Tara’s thoughts were interrupted by a soft knock at the door. She contemplated whether she should answer the door and decided she should when they knocked again.
“Willow?” Tara looked at the redhead surprised < Wow, she’s even more beautiful every time I see
her. >
“Hey,” Willow stood looking at the amazing blonde for a few moments until she realised she should explain her presence, “Buffy said to drop by. Not that I wouldn’t drop by anyway, because I would, well unless you didn’t want me to.”
Tara smiled, “Of course I would, come in.”
Willow stepped inside and stood awkwardly, “So what were you up to?”
< Thinking about you > “Watching T.V.”
“Cool.”
They stood for a few more moments in awkward silence until Willow spoke, “Tara about last night…”
“Willow its okay, we don’t have to talk about this.”
“But don’t you think we should talk about it?”
“Just blame it on the marshmallows.” Tara attempted a joke, but the redhead’s face stayed deadly serious. < I don’t want to hear the “I like you, but not in the way” speech, not from Willow. >
“But I want to talk about it, because…because…” Willow sighed in defeat, “I’m gonna get some water.”
Willow left the confused blonde in the hall and went into the kitchen. She grabbed a glass and ran the cold tap. < I cant believe I was gonna tell her I've fallen for her! Like she would want to be with someone like you! > Willow felt tears run down her face and she quickly wiped them away when she heard Tara enter the kitchen.
Tara decided to bite the bullet, “Willow…” The redhead shut off the tap but kept her back turned. Tara stepped behind Willow, “Look at me, please.”
Willow turned round, “Its okay, we shouldn’t talk about this.”
Tara looked at the redheads tear stained face, “Have you been crying?”
“Um…no.”
“Willow, talk to me please, I’m so confused.”
“Me too…actually, I’m not.”
“What do you mean?”
“I…I really like you Tara, a lot. When we kissed, that was one of the best moments in my life.”
Tara felt a huge smile creep across her face, “Really?”
Willow took hold of Tara’s hands, “Really.”
Tara moved closer to Willow, “Mine too.”
“Really?”
“Really.” Tara said before gently kissing the redhead. Willow wrapped her arms around the blonde’s neck and deepened the kiss. Tara’s head was spinning from everything Willow; Willow’s touch, Willow’s lips, Willow’s scent…she had never been so happy in all her life.
Willow moaned her approval when Tara swept her tongue across the redheads. She felt her knees buckle and leaned back on the counter, knocking the glass over. They both broke from the kiss and looked down guiltily at the shattered glass.
“I guess we should clean that up.” Willow said before kissing the blonde briefly.
“Yeah, we should.” Tara kissed Willow again for a little longer then broke away to clean up the glass. She was pulled back into another passionate kiss by the beautiful redhead.
