Early Days

[pikescoob]

What's up with the cliffhanger Helen? *pouts* It's cool how Tara already knew about stuff, like slayerage and hellmouth stuff...I always thought Tara knew that stuff before meeting Willow. I suppose leaving us hangin like that is okay...but only cuz you update so frequently *grin*



Michelle

[Shandem]

that was good ... talking is always good, you learn things that might not have known about. It kinda sucks that even if your boyfriend is your "ex" he can still be in you life, which is bad for Willow. I'm sure Tara will Heal Willow's hurts eventually if I remember the show correctly.



love it



P.S. I like your style of writing. You write Willow's andTara's personalities very well.

If missing you could blacken stars, there’d be no midnight show. If missing you could make it rain, the seas would overflow. If missing you could make it hot,

there’d be deserts all around. If missing you could silence noise, the earth would have no sound. And so I go on dreaming of when I’m holding and kissing you. For only God knows how much it hurts when, my love, I’m missing you.-Me to my girl V

[warriorlove]

Great updat...Keep'em comin'

I can take care of her...even if she never...she's my girl.

[Lost in blue]

Hey peeps. Thanks everyone so much for the feedback- who needs vitamins and nutrients when you have feedback?! And how happy am I today?! My sister read my fic and she said she can’t tell what I wrote myself and what was from actual episodes coz my writing sounds so much like them both I actually had to keep saying “No I wrote that part.” Then again she always was the biggest fan of my writing. Anyway that made me all happy but less me babbling, more update needed:



----



“Your boyfriend?....oh….” Tara couldn’t stop the wave of disappointment stirring within her, “….your boyfriend….” Tara repeated the word as if maybe it hadn’t been real, but judging by the sudden ache in her stomach it was very real. “Your boyfriend was a werewolf?” Tara tried to let Willow continue, hard as it may be for her to hear she had promised that she would listen.

“Oz was, is a werewolf. He cheated on me. There was another werewolf, a girl. He couldn’t control the animal side of himself and he slept with her, then he left. He said that the werewolf was always there and he needed to learn to control it. I don’t know if he’ll ever come back.” Tara could feel Willow’s pain coming off her in waves. She started to stroke her thumb over Willow’s hand, wanting to offer her some comfort.

“That must have been so hard for you.” Tara’s voice was so soft and gentle, Willow never ceased to be amazed by the depth of caring Tara had in her.

“It was. It was so hard at first, I did some pretty stupid things, getting drunk doing dumb spells that caused havoc for everyone I love….” Willow paused feeling her guilt wash over her again. Tara sensed this so decided to open up a little herself.

“I know how that goes….” off of Willow’s surprised look she decided to explain further. “I was kinda the same way. I did some pretty dumb things too. I used to stay out late, sometimes all night and get drunk. I kinda fell apart after, after my Mom died.” Tara’s voice was barely a whisper by the end as her own sadness filled her heart. Willow gasped at her thoughtlessness, “Tara. Oh Tara I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to make you think of your Mom, here’s me all complainy girl when what do I really have to complain about?”

“No its, its ok. Willow we all have our own pain, I’m not saying mine has been any worse than yours, I couldn’t possibly know, I haven’t been through what you went through. I didn’t say it for sympathy. I just wanted you to know that I understand, and you know its ok, you know to go off the rails from time to time, you were hurting.”

“Yeah, I guess…. I’m just normally so reliable-Willow you know? It was just there was all this pain and I didn’t know what to do, I just wanted it to be gone.”

“And you couldn’t talk to any of the others about how you were feeling?”

“Well they were kinda all with the busy. Xander was busy with Anya, Buffy was just starting out with Riley and Giles was busy…. doing whatever Giles does. And I just felt so….”

“Alone?”

“Yeah. I felt alone. I felt so lonely. I was all confused and it hurt so much.”

“How about now? You seem stronger now.”

“I do? I seem strong to you?” Willow grinned broadly, she smiled for the first time since the mention of Oz’s name.

“Yep,” Tara grinned back, pleased to see a smile return to the red-head’s face, “strong like an amazon. You’ve always seemed so sure and held together, before tonight. What happened tonight?” Tara asked returning them to their conversation.

“Tonight was supposed to be about just the core scoobies, with the exception of Giles. It was meant to be just Buffy, Xander and me, much needed Scooby quality time. But then Xander couldn’t be away from Anya for even one night and then Buffy was late. When she eventually turned up she had the initiative guys with her. The Initiative are these Government Army guys who capture demons, Riley is one of their top guys.”

“So you’re feeling a little neglected?”

“Well kinda. I mean it hurts, you know that they don’t have time for me anymore. I just, I don’t feel like anybody wants me.”

“No. No Willow that’s not true. Of course people want you” Tara tucked a stray strand of red hair behind Willow’s ear and then caressed her cheek gently. Willow looked up with teary eyes and saw nothing but pure affection in Tara’s never-ending soulful blue eyes.

“Do you?” Willow was gazing directly into Tara’s eyes now, “Do you want me?”

Tara knew she couldn’t deny it, she knew Willow would see the truth, that her body was already giving her away with its short, sharp, heavy breaths.

“Yes.” With that one little word it was as if all the air had been sucked out of the room. Both girls felt their breath catch in their throats, their hearts beating in their ears. Both their bodies felt alive in the others presence, their pulses suddenly wild at their close proximity. Willow was the first to move, she leant slightly towards Tara. Both their gazes flickering between getting lost in one another’s eyes and the other’s lips. Tara’s lips called Willow towards them, like a pin to a magnet, the attraction was one she could no longer ignore or resist. She touched her lips to Tara’s, lightly at first, as if asking for permission. Finding no resistance she placed her lips more firmly, suddenly she felt Tara respond. Feeling Tara’s lips move so passionately and fervently against hers was the most exquisite thing Willow had ever felt. She could feel her own passion rising. She did not know it was possible to feel such passion. Passion, lust, desire, every feeling was a jumbled chaos within. Willow rolled onto her back pulling Tara on top of her. Tara’s hands were in Willow’s hair, revelling in it’s softness. Willow’s hands were wandering zealously up and down Tara’s back. Willow felt as though she were engulfed in Tara, surrounded by her body, her scent. Her scent was beautifully intoxicating. Willow felt as if she were drowning, drowning in paradise, a paradise that she’d die a thousand deaths to experience for just one moment longer. All other thoughts fade as they focus onto Tara, only on to her, in this moment she’s all Willow can see.



After a heavenly eternity Tara broke their kiss. Both girls breathless. Tara pulled back from Willow a little.

“I’m sorry Willow. I, I can’t do this.”



…..to be continued.

She won't believe me because I am biased and I admit that, but I'm very glad that I convinced her to post.

Good cliffhanger.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

[Sappho]

Oh my gosh, I love this story. I just started reading it tonight and am very pleased that you update every day. That is a wonderful quality to have. So by the time I got to the update for today I became slighty upset that it isn't tomorrow yet. But I can wait. My favorite fics are the early ones from season four so this story is extra happy. Yay and keep up the excellent work!

Willow: Yeah, that’s me. Reliable dog geyser person.

[Lost in blue]

Hey everyone. Wow such great feedback, I will so get round to doing individual thank you's to you all coz you guys really keep me going with this. I'd say I'm sorry for the evil cliffhanger but my baby will only point out that I'm not sorry coz me likes being an evil tease *evil grin* Mwa ha ha. Anyway I think you've all waited long enough- on with the update:



----



With that Tara sat up. Willow struggled to get her mind to function after the shock of the loss of Tara smoochies. She sat up and put her hand on Tara’s arm to try to calm the other girl who looked ready to run at any moment.

“What? Tara?.... Why? Don’t, don’t you want me?” Willow couldn’t stop the small break in her voice as her emotions got the better of her.

“Oh Will, God I do. I want you so much.”

“Then why?” Willow felt confused, was she just stupid, if she wanted Tara and Tara wanted her, where was there a problem?

“Willow I want you, I do but not like this. I, I can’t take advantage of you. I can’t do that to you, you’re too special…. you’re too good for that.”

Willow broke out in a broad grin. Tara was just too endearing for words.



She doesn’t think I want her. How could anyone not? Look at her!! She’s so beautiful and just so adorable.



Willow reached out and brushed her finger tips over Tara’s cheek and then cupped her chin up so Tara would look at her.

“Tara, I want this. I want you. I’ve wanted you since you took my hand in the laundry room. I felt it, I feel it every time we’re together, and I know it’s not just the magic. There’s something there…. isn’t there?”

Tara answered Willow the best way she could think of, she leaned over and kissed Willow with all the passion she could muster. They both sunk back into each other, getting lost in the feel of one another. Willow had to make sure one last time, she pulled back, Tara let out a small mumble of protest.

“Tara, are you sure?”

“Oh God yes…. Willow….take what’s yours.” Tara pleaded breathlessly.



The following morning Tara woke up to hear a familiar voice mumbling beside her. Willow was dreaming and was currently mumbling something about pink elephants. Tara chuckled to herself, stroking her hands through fiery locks of red hair. Then her breath caught in her throat as her eyes found themselves gazing upon Willow’s breasts, Willow’s bare breasts. The covers had slipped down and were now revealing Willow breasts in all there perfectly formed glory. Tara felt a little guilty ogling Willow while she was sleeping ,she felt as though it would be more proper to cover the girl up but she just couldn’t bring herself too as she got lost in the memory of the previous night. She could still feel their softness, she could remember so vividly their taste. She so wanted to be feasting on them once again. So lost was she in her thoughts she didn’t notice that Willow had woken up.

“See anything you like?” Willow gave Tara a huge grin, the mirth evident in her voice. Tara blushed slightly, “Ummm yes, like very much.” Tara bent down feeling brave and placed a tender kiss on Willow’s lips. After a lingering piece of paradise she pulled back reluctantly. Tara looked pointedly at the clock.

“You have to go?” She already knew the answer, Willow would sooner lose a limb than miss a lecture. Willow sighed and ran her fingers affectionately through Tara’s hair.

“Yeah I guess.” She replied with the cutest pout Tara had ever seen in her life.

“Would you like to come over again later, maybe after class?” Tara asked trying hard not to sound too hopeful.

“That would be great. My lectures get done at 4:30 today, you?”

“My last one gets done at 5:00, it’s a bit of a late one today. Most of my lectures are usually in the morning.”

“Well I could come and get you from class if you like? You know, make sure you get back to your dorm safely.” Willow grinned again at Tara.

“My own personal body guard.” Tara dramatically sighed giddily, teasing Willow.

“Well a body like that should be protected.” Willow roamed her eyes over Tara’s body, currently only covered slightly by her blanket, for emphasis. Tara blushed slightly, not used to anyone talking about her body in the positive context. Willow cupped Tara’s chin to make her look at her again, she looked deep into the blue pools, she saw the depths of a thousand oceans.

“Hey. You are beautiful, believe it and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise coz then I’d have to get all large with the butch and give them a good glaring at.”

Tara giggled in response and gave Willow a delicate kiss. They both sighed.

“Ok Missy you better get going or you’ll be late.” Tara reluctantly reminded Willow. Willow grumbled and made an exaggerated moan as she got up. Both girls slowly pulled their clothes on, allowing the other an extended gaze before clothes obscured the view. Willow sighed again, she didn’t want to ever leave. She felt so calm and safe here. Remembering that she had a test coming up soon though she knew she couldn’t miss today’s lecture, and she didn’t want Buffy to worry.



Buffy!! Oh my Goddess, what am I gonna tell her? Shouldn’t I tell her the truth? What would she say? She doesn’t even know Tara…. what would she think? Maybe I could just sneak in and then I don’t have to say anything.



Willow pulled her shoes on and then turned to face Tara.

“Well I guess I better….” Willow gestured towards the door.

“Ok. Well I’ll see you later?”

“5 o’clock on the dot.” Willow grinned and leaned in to kiss Tara goodbye. Both girls got lost again in one another. It was only a sudden sound from the corridor outside Tara’s room that reminded them that Willow needed to go. Both girls sighed as they pulled apart.

“Well I guess I’ll see you later then.” Willow turned to open the door.

“Oh Willow before you go.” Tara turned and went over to her bedside table, Willow’s hand paused on the door handle. Tara picked something up and walked back over to Willow. She held out the Dollseye crystal to Willow.

“I want you to have it…. please?” Tara looked pleadingly at Willow. Willow smiled adoringly and reached out to take the crystal. She then threw her arms around Tara and kissed her long and hard. Slowly she pulled back and lightly peppered Tara’s lips with small, sweet kisses.

“Thank you Tara. It’s beautiful.” She looked into Tara’s eyes as she emphasised the word beautiful. She stood there getting lost in Tara’s eyes, she felt like she could spend an eternity just getting lost in those eyes.

“Ummm, Willow. You better get going.”

“Ok. But I’ll see you later, k?” Tara simply nodded. They shared another quick kiss and then Willow left to go to her own dorm room. As the door closed Tara went over to her bed and flopped down with a contented sigh, she had never felt so happy, so alive, so complete.



.....to be continued.

Ok so that's another update for you peeps and take note that I was not all with the evilness today so no big cliffhanger. However to make sure you all still wanna keep reading I should warn you that I wrote the next lil bit when I was particularly missing Michelle, I mean even more than normal, so it's got the whole horniness/desire thing going on. But you have to be patient kittens and wait until tomorrow *evil grin* Ok so methinks my attempt to not be evil has now failed but meh, nevermind!!



Oh and yes Michelle (as in Pikescoob not my baby) Tara did have amazing self-control, God knows I don't have the same control with my baby. I just wanted to show how much of a sweetie Tara is, she's so thoughtful and always putting others before herself. *sigh* Much love to Tara and of course to Amber.... oh and I guess I should say to Aly/Willow too coz otherwise I'm just being a meanie boots.



Anyway sorry for the babblage, I'm all sleepy today. Yay its the weekend though- whoo hoo!!



Thanks again everyone, love to all the kittens and of course to my girl- love you gorgeous

As for self-control and restraint.....when it comes to you..there is nothing that could control me or what I would end up doing. But you can count on it being a good thing.



Anyway-I better go before I babble too much. And might I say for the next update...more, more, more.



I love you honey...... , crazy in love I might add.

This is a great fic,lovely update

[Lost in blue]

Hi Kittens Well it looks like its storytime, would you like a story? Then I'll begin :



----



Willow glanced at her watch, she still had 20 minutes until Tara’s lesson was due to finish. She’d come straight from her own lesson, virtually running all the way despite the fact she had half an hour to get there. Willow paced up and down, she was just far too full of energy. She glanced at her watch again.



Well that’s another 30 seconds gone, only another 1170, well if she got out literally at 5:00, so maybe I should add another couple of hundred seconds…. Or maybe she’ll get out early.



Willow did a little skip at the thought of seeing Tara a few seconds earlier. She glanced at her watch again and resumed pacing. Slowly the clock crawled its way to 5 o’clock. Suddenly Willow was nervous.



Wait, how should I be standing? Do I want her to think I’ve been stood waiting for half an hour counting the seconds like a dork? Or should I look as if I’m just approaching? But then she might think I had forgotten, like I don’t care or something. Is there a way to look like you hadn’t forgotten without it making you look like you’ve been waiting a long time?



“Hey Willow!” Willow nearly jumped a mile at the sound of Tara’s voice.

“Hey!” Willow tried to sound relaxed but it still came out startled. “I mean, hi Tara, how are you? How was your lecture? Learn anything new and interesting?”

“Sorry I didn’t mean to startle you,” Tara said giggling, “lesson was you know- ok. I learnt some new stuff, I don’t know that I’d call it interesting though, I have Professor Southwell for this subject.”

“Oh,” Willow made a face understanding the “not interesting” part of Tara’s lesson. “In that case you’re in need of some activities of the fun variety.” Willow exclaimed.

“And what activities did you have in mind?” Tara asked teasingly, raising her eyebrow at Willow. Willow blushed, not having realised her own words.

“Oh ummm, I ummm….” Willow was now turning the same colour as her hair.

“It’s ok Will, I was just teasing. Not that I’d say no to activities with you.” Tara smirked seeing Willow blush again. Seeing the teasing gleam in Tara’s eyes Willow steeled herself, two could play at that game.

“No neither would I, definitely enjoy the activities.” Willow leaned in seductively close so that only Tara could hear her. “And from the sound of it last night you enjoy them too.” Willow’s breath was warm on Tara’s ear, sending shivers of pleasure down her spine. She recalled the night before, how it had felt to be with Willow. Now it was her turn to blush. Willow smirked. Tara didn’t fail to notice this.

“Oh I’m so gonna get you back for that one Willow Rosenberg.”

“Hmmm, you promise?” Willow grinned cheekily. Tara leaned into Willow.

“Uh huh.” She whispered, now it was Willow’s turn to shiver. The two girls stood for a moment, or maybe an eternity in the corridor, just gazing at each other, desire flowing between them. They bodies were being drawn together, as if a magnetic force were between them. They were stood now, their bodies touching, their faces not even an inch apart.

“Will.” Tara whispered breathlessly.

“Uh?” Was all Willow could manage in response, she was too caught up in the depths of Tara’s eyes.

“M-my dorm, now?!” The tone of Tara’s voice was pleading, full of need. Willow didn’t even answer, she simply grabbed Tara’s hand and ran to Tara’s room, pulling the other girl along behind her. The girls had barely made it through the door when their lips came together in a hot and needy kiss. Their hands began to wander, pawing at each other’s clothes as though the action would rid them of the pesky barrier between them. The girls stumbled their way towards the bed, their lips never parting.



The two girls spent the rest of the afternoon kissing, their hands discovering and rediscovering one another. At some point, neither could really remember when, their clothes were discarded of. They explored one another well into the evening, and then into the night, until finally they both collapsed in each others arms exhausted, and slept content.



.....to be continued.

Well that's another update done. Forgive my weirdness, I'm a lil coz I'm all Poor me isn't well today, I have a cold *pout* and I don't have my baby here to take care of me *pouts even more* So I don't even get snuggles to make me feel better- damn ocean!! I really should get some but Sir Ian McKellen is on Parky tonight and I so don't wanna miss that. I love Gandalf.... we so need a wizard emoticon. Anyway I'm babbling a lot, I mean even more than I usually do. Oh and I seem to be enjoying playing with emoticons too. Must be coz my brain is all with the fluffiness, it seems to be finding them all very amusing. still rules though, although still makes me chuckle. I'm going way off topic so I'm just gonna go. Ooh except to say: Yay England won the Rugby tonight, makes up for the 1-1 draw we had in the footy mid-week. Go England!! Okay you get it, I'm happy we won- I'll going now.

Anyway-the update, awesome as usual and I know you have more on the way. I so can't wait baby.

I just caught up with your fic and I have to say it's awesome



Great update keep them coming...I know I want more and I'm sure everyone else does too

[Lost in blue]

Hey everyone. Thank you all again for the feedback. I'm not gonna babble today coz I for one am in need of some good ol' Willow/Tara lovin, me needs the snuggles!! So for the sake of my sanity, on with the update:



-----



Willow awoke the following morning to the sound of soft chuckling beside her.

“What?” She mumbled groggily. She opened her eyes, blinking against the sunshine pouring in through the window.

“You, just…. you.” Tara sighed, softly stroking Willow’s hair. Willow felt her morning mood quickly evaporate. She opened her eyes and saw Tara’s beautiful smiling face beaming down at her. Tara was propped up on her elbow, gazing down adoringly at Willow.

“You were laughing at me?” Willow pouted playfully. Tara leant down slightly and softly kissed Willow.

“No, not at you. I would never laugh at you Will. It’s just…. You say the cutest things when you’re dreaming. I would so love to know what’s going on in that brain of yours at times.”

“What was I saying?”

“You mumbled something about scary frogs and ummm yellow penguins?”

“Oh,” suddenly her dream was coming back to her. “I remember. There were these big nasty frogs. They had you hostage and I had to get past them to save you. It was scary…. I have frog phobia. Anyway then these yellow penguins came along and helped me to save you from the evil frogs.”

“Awww my hero, battling frogs to save me.”

“Well I couldn’t have them touching my girl, I mean ummm, I-I didn’t want them touching you, you know, getting their sliminess all over you and-” Tara quickly kissed Willow to quieten her babble. Willow relaxed, her babble forgotten.

“I think we just found a cure to that babble of yours, not that I want to cure it- it’s far too cute.” Tara smiled adoringly.

“You like my babble? I don’t think anyone’s ever really understood me when I get started on one, except for you. I love that you always understand my weird Willow-ness.”

“It’s just a gift.” Tara said, still beaming adoringly. She kissed Willow softly again, both girls lazily getting lost in the feel of one another. Willow sighed contentedly.

“Hmmm, hey what time is it?” Willow suddenly realised that Buffy may be wondering where she was.

“Oh ummm, I’m not sure, I only woke up a few minutes before you did.” Tara reached over for her alarm clock. “Oh! Ummm, oops.”

“What? What time is it?” Willow asked. Tara turned the clock towards Willow. It said 1:48.

“Oh my, it’s nearly two in the afternoon, how did we sleep so late?!” Willow felt slightly panicked, Buffy would definitely notice that she was missing.



Unless she was at Riley’s last night. Then I can say that I just left early, before she got home.

Willow felt herself relax a little, after all- she really didn’t want to leave right now.

“Well we were kinda up ‘til late last night, well ummm early this morning.” Tara said giggling slightly.

“And yet after all this time in bed I still don’t wanna get up!!” Willow stroked Tara’s arm suggestively. “Mmmm…. bed definitely a good idea. Let’s stay here!!”

Tara sighed at Willow’s touch, the tone in her voice was already doing crazy things to her.

“Uh huh, definitely with the staying in bed. Although you know we’ll have to get up eventually.” Tara pointed out.

“Is eventually now?”

“No.”

“Then I say we stay here.” Willow grinned cheekily at Tara and then leaned into her and softly began to nibble her ear. “Unless you really wanna get up now?”

“Uhhhh,” Tara moaned, “No…. stay here. Definitely staying here.”



And with that another afternoon seemingly disappeared.



....to be continued.

[Lost in blue]

Hey peeps. Once again I'm feeling in need of some Willow/Tara goodness so I won't babble too much, not that I have a tendancy to babble or anything and before I get too caught up in this particular babble, I'm even losing myself on this one- quickly on with the update:



-----



Willow sighed and stretched luxuriously.

“Mmmm, I could so just lay here all day.”

“We virtually have.” Tara said with a light chuckle. Truth be told she never wanted to leave this moment. Everything felt so right in this moment, just her and Willow, there was nothing else in the world, no fear, no danger, just the two of them in the comfort of each others arms. Happy and together, the way things were meant to be. Tara knew however, as did Willow, that nothing can last forever and that they’d eventually have to get up.



Just not right now. Both girls thought simultaneously with a lazy smile.



The two girls spent what was left of their afternoon lazing in one another’s arms. Sharing relaxed, easy flowing conversation, or just comfortable silence. Eventually though the girls had to get up.



“Will?”

“Muh” Willow grumbled.

“Will, you have to get up. Didn’t you say you had a Scooby meeting tonight?”

“Don’t wanna.” Willow protested and snuggled further into Tara. Tara couldn’t help but giggle at Willow’s cuteness.

“Awww, poor sweetie. You’re such a lazy lil-“

“Hey choose your next words carefully Miss Maclay.”

“Ummm, cutie? Lazy lil cutie? That’s what I was gonna say.” Tara shot Willow her best “I’m so cute and innocent” half grin.

“Uh huh. Hmmm…. Ok I’ll forgive you, this time, but only coz you gave me snuggles and smoochies all day.” Willow grinned adoringly at the memory of the past day. This had undoubtedly been one of the best, albeit laziest, day of her life.



I could so get used to this. This is the way every day should be, not necessarily in bed- although that does has its advantages. Willow smirked to herself. But just this feeling, this contented feeling. This happy and peaceful feeling that I get with Tara, that’s how I want to feel all the time. But what exactly is it I’m feeling? Is this just curiosity? No, I wouldn’t have let things go this far for the sake of curiosity. I wouldn’t do that to anyone, especially not Tara, I could never hurt her. So what is this? Is it love? I know I loved Oz, at least I think I did. This doesn’t feel like that. It feels different, but the same. It feels more…. just more. More than I’ve felt before. But in a way it scares me, to be feeling so much. But why does it scare me?



“Will?” Tara’s voice broke Willow’s busy thoughts.



I don’t want to be hurt again.



The realisation hit Willow suddenly. That was what was bothering her. That nagging feeling in the back of her mind that she couldn’t shake. After all she had been hurt before by Oz, he had hurt her so badly. Now what she was beginning to feel for Tara was possibly even more, more than she had ever believed possible to feel for another. Whilst these feelings were beautiful and wondrous, they still left her vulnerable to be hurt more than she ever had been before. And yet she trusted Tara, didn’t she? Willow looked up at Tara, gazed directly into her eyes, into her soul.



“Hey are you ok? What’s with the worried face?” Tara asked, her voice full of that ever-present concern.

“I look worried?”

“Well it’s that or constipated.” Tara joked lightly. Willow found herself smiling adoringly at Tara,

“What?” Tara asked, not recognising the look on Willow’s face, although it looked like a good look.



I won’t get hurt again.



Willow continued to smile gently at Tara and then leaned in to place a soft kiss on her lips. Willow sighed contently.



“I guess I should get going. I think the meeting might be a bit of a late one tonight but I guess I can still come over after if you like?”

“It’s ok Will. I get that you have your Scooby duties. We can just meet up tomorrow.”

“Are you sure, I don’t mind?”

“Its ok, I have some college stuff I can be doing anyway.”

“Oh no, you had college stuff to do and I’ve taken up your whole day, Tara I’m sorry I-” But Willow was quickly cut off by Tara lips on hers.

“It’s ok Will. Its just college stuff, it’s not due in for a couple of weeks but I thought you know- get a head start.” Tara looked at her hands, feeling a bit of a dork. Willow just grinned at her.

“Doing homework the day you get it- you’re my kind of girl.” She giggled, Tara quickly joined in the giggling, feeling less of a geek, more of a kindred spirit.

“Well I guess I better get going.” Willow sighed. Grudgingly she got up and pulled her clothes on.

“Ok. If you want to just give me a call tomorrow? I’ll be home all day, catching up on some studying.”

“Ok, well I’ll call you tomorrow then.”

“Ok.”

“Ok.”

Both girls stood at Tara’s door, neither particularly wanting to end such a wonderful afternoon. Finally Willow made the first move.

“I should…. go.”

“Yeah.”

Willow reached in and softly kissed Tara, lingering a little longer than she had initially intended.

“Mmmm, ok going now.” Willow reached in and kissed Tara again.

“I’m leaving now, this is me going.” She kissed again.

“I’m gone now, I’m half way down the corridor.” She kissed Tara again, lingering more each time.

“Ok, ok I’m going.” Willow groaned. Tara giggled at her fondly.

“Yeah you better get going. But I’ll see you tomorrow?”

“Definitely.” Willow grinned.

“Then get that cute ass moving.” Tara said in a mock demanding tone, patting Willow’s behind. Willow giggled.

“Ok. I’ll see you tomorrow.” With that she placed one last kiss on Tara’s soft lips and then left.



.....to be continued.
