Part 8



Tara looked at Willow very curiously. ‘How is it that she can convey so much just by the look on her face? She is so damn adorable that you just can’t help but love her. Love? Yeah, love. I am so falling in love with this woman and there is nothing I can do to stop it, not that I would want to,’ Tara thought getting a look of her own on her face.



Glancing over at Tara, Willow saw the other woman deep in thought as well. ‘Ok, this has to end. I need to hear that gorgeous voice again.’ “So, Tara, you aren’t singing at all tonight?”



Jolted out of her thoughts Tara looked at her love blankly, suddenly realizing that she was asked a question. “What? Oh, umm I think Chris is letting me sing at least one, but that’s only cause his voice gets all wack if he sings for too long. I don’t get it cause I never get that way. Must be just a guy thing. Who knows.”



Seeing a huge smile on Willow’s face Tara got worried that she said something wrong. “What? What did I do?”



“Have I told you how adorable you are when you babble cause if I haven’t I should more often,” Willow replied, her smile getting bigger.



“I’m not that adorable. I’m really not. But I guess if you say I am then it must be true.”



“Yes that it is. Hey the sun went down a little. Wanna just rest for a few minutes before we have to get back.”



“Whatever you want to do I want to do,” Tara said.



‘If only she knew how much I want her already. The things I want to do…wow talk about naughty mind. Behave we must not go ravaging her…yet,’ Willow thought blushing a wee bit.



As the two women relaxed into each other’s arms, they realized just how much like home it felt to them. Neither one had ever had a relationship progress this quickly so they weren’t completely sure if this was natural or if they should be questioning everything they did.



“Tara, have you ever fallen for someone so quickly that it scared you but in a good way?”



“Not until recently. Do you have any idea how easy you are to fall for? I mean, I’m sure you do cause I’m sure that you’ve have guys and girls falling all over you cause you are so gorgeous and I’m just wondering how in the world I was lucky enough to find you at the time when you weren’t hooked up with anyone and I’m not special enough to deserve all that you are giving me, even if it has only been one day, but still you can tell so much from a person in one day and I don’t think I’m making sense anymore.”



“You are so special you have no idea. And I totally get what you are saying Tara…except for the part about me having people hanging all over me. That so has never happened. I am falling for you so hard Tara and….well….I don’t want to stop falling. I want to keep falling and just see where I land. Besides, I’m liking where I’m at right now. Being in your arms is the only time in a while that I have felt safe.”



“You are the special one honey. Now I’m going to ask you an important question.”



Seeing the seriousness in her face Willow concentrated really hard on listening, even though it was very hard with Tara’s fingers stroking her arm. “Go ahead Tare. I’m listening.”



“Can I kiss you?”



The simple question sent a jolt through Willow that she had never felt before and taking advantage of her courage she leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on the ruby lips before her.



“That was a yes by the way.”



With that the two women connected lips once again. After what seemed like forever Tara pulled back to look into the eyes that she could so fall into.



“I hate to say this, but we should get going. And umm before I forget, wow. That kiss was just wow.”



“You’re not so bad yourself there sweetie. Come on let’s get going. Don’t want Chris to have a heart attack if I’m not there on time.”



As they gathered up their belongings they couldn’t help but think just how much had been revealed in this little picnic. Was it really love or was it just something that was passing by.





So there you have it...hope you enjoyed it.

[Gimpgirl]

I'm sorry for the delay kittens. I do thank you for all the feedback. I will try to get another update in on Saturday. And just a side note...the song I used was from the Freaky Friday soundtrack....I so didn't write it, and it doesn't belong to me.



Part 9



“Hey Tare, where have you been all day long? I tried calling you and well Mel said that you were out. So where was this out and with whom was the outing with?” Chris asked as soon as Tara stepped into the backstage area.



“Chris, you know I love you, but has anyone ever told you how very nosy you are?” Tara said with a grin.



“Yes, you tell me that all the time. So, are you going to answer me or do I just have to assume that what my mind came up with was what happened?”



“Fine, I will tell you. I was on a picnic date with Willow, if you must know.”



“Oh, so I was right. So, any sparkage?”



“Sparkage with what?” Mel asked arriving behind the curtain.



“With Tara and Willow.”



“You want me to be honest?”



After receiving very enthusiastic nods from her best friends she took a deep breath and just said it.



“I think I’m in love with her. I mean, you know how you just get this feeling that the person you are with is the one you want to be with for the rest of your life? I don’t know what it is about Willow, but I just feel so complete when I’m around her and every time we touch, I feel sparks and magic. Ok, so now that I think about it…I only have one problem. What if she doesn’t feel the same?”



Mel looked at her best friend and tried very hard not to giggle at the babble, but then decided that Tara needed to hear answers or she might just drive her mind insane.



“Sweetie, I think there is only one way to find out. You remember that song that you hear on the film Freaky Friday? ‘The Ultimate’. You so said that if you met THE one, that you would sing it for them and you could tell how they felt for you by their reaction to the song. Even though it is Chris’ night to sing, you so need to sing at least that song. Then you will know how she feels. Just remember to change all of the ‘he’s’ to ‘she’s.”



Grinning Tara realized how right Mel was. Walking over to her best friend she hugged her and whispered “Thank you,” in her ear.



“So, gorgeous, just tell me what other song you want to sing besides that and you can have them at the end. I’m only singing four or five songs, then the mic is all yours.



“Oh, man, what is she hates the song? I don’t think I could handle that.”



“Tare,” Mel said grabbing Tara by the shoulders, “You will be fine. Just sing your heart out and you will know what is in her heart.”



*******

Arriving at the Bronze, Buffy spotted Willow and went to grab a seat next to her.



“Hey Will, what is with the thinking face? You only use that when something is bothering you or you can’t figure something out, which never happens.”



“Buff, you are too adorable some days. I am trying to figure something out. Maybe if I tell you about it I can figure out what it all means. You ready?”



“Bring it on,” Buffy said getting comfortable.



“OK, so here is the thing. Tara and I had our first date today and it went all good and stuff like that. But there is something that has been making me wonder a lot. We were snuggling and talking and all that comfy stuff and it made me feel complete. Buff, to be honest, I think I’m in love with her.”



“It’s only been two days Will,” Buffy said with a worried expression on her face.



“I know that but I can’t help but feel that I want this woman in my life forever. But I don’t know how she feels. I don’t have any clue if she loves me like that or just as a friend who doesn’t mind snuggling with me. How in the world do I know?”



“You just have to look at how she acts around you. I mean, I’m no expert, but that is what I look at when I want to know how someone feels about me. Have a talk with her after the set tonight Will. You will both feel better. Now as much as I love you, hush cause my guy is going to sing.”



Willow rolled her eyes, “Same old Buffy, nothing but guy crazy, but thank you Buff.”



“Hey you know me. Just look at your girlie and drool.”



*****

Tara looked down at Willow all through the set. She could help but think just exactly what the redhead felt for her. ‘She seemed to be very comfortable with me. But what in the world does that mean?’



Before Tara knew it Chris was done singing and introducing her to sing her songs. Reaching the microphone she decided to give a little introduction so everyone, including Willow, knew what she was singing about.



“I know that tonight was not my night to sing, but Chris decided to be really nice and let me sing a few songs. I hope you don’t mind,” Tara said smiling as she got a big cheer from the crowd.

“The first song I’m singing is one from the recent film, Freaky Friday. It’s the song that I decided I would sing to the one who stole my heart and she is here tonight. Just for your reference, I have changed all of the he’s to she’s just to match the person.”



Looking over at Chris, Tara received a smile. Taking a deep breath she started the beginning guitar licks, she looked out to find Willow looking at her. Deciding this was the time to see what the reaction was, she was going to sing right to her.



You're the kind of friend

Who always bends when I'm broken,

Like remember when...

You took my heart and put it back together again.

I've been wasting time with clueless girls but now it's over.

Let me tell you why...I'm through...I've got someone new who's just like you!



You're it, You're the Ultimate,

It's automatic I'm sure of it.

No lie, So don't even try

To tell me that you're not the girl.

Cuz I've been waiting all my life for someone just like you,

But you're it..You're the Ultimate you.



You're the kind of girl whos hand's in mine..

Sends shivers, up and down my spine.

You took my heart and put it back together again.

You're the kind of girl that blows my mind..

But now it's my turn, You've been right in front of me.

Everything I knew why didn't I see?



You're it, You're the Ultimate,

It's automatic I'm sure of it.

No lie, So don't even try

To tell me that you're not the girl.

Cuz I've been waiting all my life for someone just like you,

But you're it..You're the Ultimate you.



You're it, You're the Ultimate,

It's automatic I'm sure of it.

No lie, So don't even try

To tell me that you're not the girl.

You're it, You're the Ultimate,

It's automatic I'm sure of it.

No lie, So don't even try

To tell me that you're not girl

Cuz I've been waiting all my life for someone just like you,

But you're it..You're the Ultimate you.



You're it...you're the Ultimate YOU!



After the final chords, Tara looked straight into Willow’s eyes and saw all she needed to see.



“Since I got you all to realize how you feel about your honey’s I will let you dance to the music on the CD and I promise you that I will sing my second song tomorrow night. Good night.”



Seeing that Tara was all done with the set she looked at Buffy and said, “I’m going to talk to her. Don’t wait up.”



Tara saw Willow approach the stage she looked at Mel, “Don’t wait up.”



“Hey, you rocked, but we so need to talk.”



“Let’s get out of here,” Tara said grabbing Willow’s hand and leading her out of the Bronze.





Again I say, the song isn't mine and doesn't belong to me. It belongs to Disney and Lindsey Lohan who sang it. More arrive later....loves to all the kittens.

Disclaimers: Same as in Part 1...and there will be some smut, you just gotta let me work up to it.



Part 10



As the two women walked over to the table Buffy had the feeling that something major was going down. After her talk with Willow, she knew that the feelings the two had was going to be the topic of discussion, but what she didn’t know was that Chris was going to have a conversation with her as well.



“Hey Buffy, umm, Tara and I are going to just take a walk. Umm, if I’m not home later don’t worry, I’ll be safe,” Willow said with a small smile.



“You got it Will. Just be careful,” Buffy replied seeing Chris walking over to her as well.



“Don’t look now Buff, but I believe your boyfriend wants to have a word with you too. You be careful too.” Turning to her girlfriend Willow just grinned. “Let’s go have that talk.”



“Bye Buffy,” Tara called out as she was dragged away by her very eager girlfriend.



Watching the two women depart Chris decided it was about time he had a talk with his girlfriend too. Who knew what was going to happen later, why not just get it over with.



****

Walking along the sidewalk with their fingers interlaced they just stayed in a comfortable silence. Upon reaching the park Tara spotted a secluded area with a bench.



“Why don’t we go sit down and talk Will.”



Guiding her over Tara couldn’t help but have millions of thoughts floating through her mind. ‘What will she say when she finds out? How will she take it? Will she still want to be around me anymore?’



Willow had many thoughts going through her head as well. ‘I just wonder what in the world she wants to discuss that she is so serious about.



“Willow, you still with me?” Tara asked with a sweet smile.



“Yeah I am. Just got a wandering mind going on. So, Tare, what’s up?”



Taking a deep breath Tara prepared to delve into the conversation she was afraid of.



****

“Buffy can I talk to you?”



“Sure Chris. Let me just let Xander and his girlfriend know. Hey Xand, I’m going to walk with Chris and have a talk. You going to be ok?”



“Yeah we should be fine. Besides Buff, I just met her. You think I’m going to have sex with her this quickly?”



“Are they off to have orgasms? What about the orgasms you promised me Xander,” Anya whined from the corner.



Raising her eyebrow Buffy gave him a look of ‘I told you so’.



“Ok, so you got me. Go have fun and be careful,” Xander replied off of Buffy’s look. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”



Turning to Chris, Buffy took his hand. “Let’s go talk my boy.”



****

“Ok, so here goes. Umm, you know how much I like you right Willow?”



“I like to think I do. Why the question?”



“Well just making sure that we are kind of on the same page. Ok, ok I’m procrastinating. I need to just start the convo and get on with it. Here’s the deal.”



****

“So, Buffy, umm you know that I like you right?”



“Yeah I do, I really like you too, Chris. I mean, I have liked a lot of guys, but I do have to be honest. Not as much as you. You are the kind of guy who treats a woman the way they should be treated. That is a big rarity around here.”



“Wow Buff, no one has ever said anything like that to me.”



****

“Well, I do have to say that I have never felt this way about anyone before Tara. I just get this feeling around you and I like it a lot.”



“I feel the same way Will, which is why this is very hard to say to you.”



****

“Just say it Chris. It will feel better once you just say it.”



“OK, so here we go. Well, there is something you have to know about me and my band. It’s just this thing that happens to a lot of bands and well we just have to follow with what happens. So, that is what is going to happen tomorrow afternoon.”



“Umm, ok, so now you have me worried. Why don’t you just tell me what it is you want to say?”



****

“Well the thing is Will, I just met this great person and now I have to leave you.”

“What?” Willow asked with a very shocked look on her face.



“No, Will, it’s not what you think. It’s just that the band was only supposed to be in town for a few days and then we are supposed to fly to New York and play some gigs there. I’m so sorry Willow. I didn’t mean for it to sound the way it did.”



“So, you are telling me that you are leaving to go and make more music and money?”



“Umm, well yeah.”



****

“Did you really think that I would be so upset that I would just dump you on the spot?” Buffy asked amazedly.



“Well, umm I have to say that the answer was yes until you just looked at me like that. I’m guessing that you aren’t going to huh?”



****

“Tara, there is nothing that could ever tear me away from the greatest person I have ever met. So, don’t even think that a trip is going to make me dump you just like that. I am going to still be your girlfriend no matter what. I mean I just met you and there is something about you that makes me just want to be with you forever, as whatever you want me as. You go and do the traveling thing, but there is a big thing that you have to do while you are gone.”



“Anything you want Willow, you have it,” Tara said in a slightly shocked state.



Grabbing Tara’s face in her hands she made sure that she was looking at her. “You have to call me everyday and at least talk to me for about 2 hours. I will give you the phone cards and the money you need if they run out. I don’t think that I could go without talking to you. I know I have only known you for about 3 days but still I just want to talk to you. You have become like the best friend I never knew about and there is no way that I am going to go a day without talking to you. And did I mention that I babble a lot when I get….”



Willow’s babble was cut off by the feel of velvety lips on hers. She had really never felt anything like Tara’s lips. She thought she was in heaven and never wanted to leave.



****

“So, what you are really trying to tell me is that you aren’t dumping me?” Chris said still not really believing what he was hearing.



“That’s what I’m saying. I have found someone who is one of the best people I know and I plan to get to know you a lot better. So, how about we just spend the night talking and I will see you off in the afternoon?”



“Sounds good to me. I’m just wondering how in the world Tara and Willow are doing with this conversation.”



“Knowing Will, she will be taking it quite well, so long as she still gets to talk to her everyday. Now, let’s get going. We are wasting valuable smoochie and talk time.”



****

After what seemed like forever the two girls parted their lips and looked into each other’s eyes.



“Ok, it’s really too bad that we can’t give smoochies over the phone cause I’m really going to miss that after the shows we do.”



“If I could I would go with you, but there is the whole having a job, sort of thing, and then there is the whole owing each other smoochies when you get back. So, I’m thinking I like the missing you so much smoochies so there is going to be a lot of owing to do.”



“What do you say we just talk and smoochie all night girlie?” Tara asked with a smirk.



“I like the way you think,” Willow said with a matching smirk. ‘I wonder when I will get the guts to tell her that I think I’m falling for her?’





So there you have it....let me know what you think....loves you all.
