Chapter 2Willow looked to Tara for help, but received the same look in return.
Again the new woman asked, “What are you talking about?” Eying Willow and then Tara, glaring at them with a little disgust.
Willow squeezed Tara’s hand and was greatly comforted by the squeeze she got back. “Um…” Willow looked all around the room searching for an answer, but before she could get one the new girl busted out laughing. Willow quirked an eyebrow at Tara who just shrugged her shoulders in reply. Both turned their attention back to the new comer.
“Oh… that witch. Yeah that was a great costume.” When the woman turned to sit down in her seat, her cell phone ear piece was now visible to the naked eye.
Both Willow and Tara shared a collective sigh of relief.
‘That was close.’ Willow started to breath normal again. Turning to face Tara again, she simply just nodded her reply.
Tara squeezed Willow’s hand and gave her lop sided smile. “Me too.”
‘Wow…that’s the smile I want to see every day.’ Willow smiled and sat next to Tara.
They talked quietly amongst themselves for a few more minutes, before students started to pile in.
“You’ve really done that?” Tara looked at Willow with astonishment. ‘She must be powerful.’ She looked down as Willow beamed again, blushing because of this smile seemed to never fail.
“Yep… well, no… it came out more like soup in the end, but it worked for a little while.” Willow wiggled excitedly and continued on with her babble of her magical past.
‘She’s so cute when she babbles…’ Tara fondly thought as her thumb started to rub the back of Willow’s hand on its own accord.
This touch didn’t go unnoticed by Willow.
Willow shivered slightly as parts of her body began to awaken. ‘Geese… I think she’s still running through my system.’ Willow looked down at their inter twined hands. ’She has such beautiful hands.’
Tara fallowed the girl’s eyes down and read it the wrong way. “S-sorry.” Tara pulled her hand away and placed it in her lap.
“No!” Willow bit her lip and gave a guilty smile. “I mean… don’t pull away… I…” Willow whispered in a child like voice, “I liked it.”
Before Tara could respond the instructor came in and already started her lecture.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Tara watched wide-eyed as Willow rose from her seat and stretched after the two and a half hour lecture. ‘Oh my.’ Tara racked her eyes up and down the smaller woman’s frame, stopping on the small piece of flesh that was peeking out from under her shirt. ‘Cute belly… and an even cuter belly button.’ Tara sighed in her thoughts and removed her eyes from Willow. Smiling to herself, ‘Willow, what a beautiful name… it suits her.’ Quickly she wrote down something on a scrap of paper.
Willow was all too aware of the baby-blues that were profiling the contours of her body. Letting her head drop back a little more, stretching her arms about her head as far as they would reach. ‘Oh my goddess… she’s checkin’ me out… how did Buffy say this worked, oh yeah… okay, don’t screw up Rosenberg!’ Arching her back for good measure. Finally she relaxed her muscles and let out a satisfied sigh. Looking down to see what the blond was up to… she was writing, but writing what? And to whom? When she started to lean in a little closer to read it, it was to late as the note was being folded neatly.
Tara looked up and smiled sweetly. “Feel better?”
Blushing slightly and packing up her books, “Yeah… there’s only so much Woman’s Ligature 101 I can handle while sitting still.” Putting her bag on her shoulder. “What class do you have next?”
Tara finally got all her books together and started to move towards the door slowly, “Um…I-I have some free time then Psychology 102 and then I-I’ve got the rest of the day free. H-how ‘bout you?”
Moving along side Tara when the got to the stairway. “I’ve got a few more classes then I got the whole day free.” Willow bit her lip and had a slight bounce in her step.
Tara smiled and stopped near the door and turned to face her new red headed friend, “Well we should got going… I-I got to go get something to eat. See you later?” Tara reached out her hand and waited penitently for the redhead to respond.
“Oh…” Willow tried to hide the disappointment in her voice, but by the frown on Tara’s face she failed. “Yeah, I’ve got class in about twenty minutes anyways… it was nice being with you… I mean sitting and talking with you.” She reached out and took the soft hand, but this time something hard was pressed into her palm.
“Bye, Willow.” Tara smiled and turned to walk out the door. Stopping at the threshold to give Willow a half smile.
Willow just stared at the door where Tara disappeared. ‘That voice… how she says my name… those eyes… that smile… her lips… wow.’ Willow finally tore her eyes away from the door and looked down into her hand. ‘A note?’ Willow stared in wonder and smiled. ’Out first note.’ Quickly the smile faded and she stared blankly at the binder paper. ‘Our? I mean “my” first note, right?’ Sighing she slowly opened the piece of paper, which was clearly folded with extreme care. It read:
“Dear Willow,
I was wondering if maybe you wanted to come over and talk… about Wicca or other things. Come over about 7:30 tonight, if that’s good. If not, then I will see you on Wednesday. My room is:
Stevenson Hall # 216.
-Tara”
Willow stood and stared at the note, which she read again for the third time. ‘Even in writing she makes my name sound like music.’ Smiling to her self, she slowly walked out of the classroom contemplating many spells and other things she wanted to talk to Tara about. Ignoring the feeling she was being watched she just about skipped off to class.
Tara watched secretly from the door as Willow read her note. ‘Willow…’ she whispered to herself. ‘Please, goddess let her be the one.’ Biting her lip in anticipation of her new friends reaction, she shifted her weight to get a better look. Finally when a smile kissed Willow’s features did Tara let of the breath she didn’t even know she was holding. ‘Crap!’ Tara moved quickly opened her book to hide behind it as the red head started to head towards her. She peeked over the top of her book and watched the red head disappear down the hall. ‘She has to be the one…’ Tara smiled to herself noticing the slight bounce in Willow’s stride. Stopping briefly to check out her butt before she turned the corner. Looking down at her book she giggled to herself as she slowly turned her book up right and closed it. ‘Has to be…’
Chapter 3
‘What are you doing here? Do you really think she wants to do spells? She seems nice enough…’ Willow walked the short distance to Tara’s room, smiling to herself. ‘She is sweet… and cute too…’ Willow poisoned herself in front of Tara’s door. Looking down at a copy of the address, which was now being nervously twisted in her palm. “Yep… room number 216. That’s the one, alright.” Willow said to the closed door, trying desperately to get her hand to move. For some reason, beyond her control, every time she thought of the blue-eyed blond her heart would race, her mind would fill with images, and a smile was doomed to spread a crossed her features. ‘Here goes nothing…’ Willow bit her lip and knocked softly on the door. Shifting her weight from foot to foot, really wanting to run back to the safeness of her room, but not wanting to miss a chance of seeing the blond smile one more time, she waited. ‘One more time? I want to make her smile every day… she needs to smile.’ Willow knocked a little harder hoping she would soon see the baby blues, which where quickly captivating her heart, instead of the blankness of white blankness of the door.
Tara must have been dreaming. It felt like a dream… It felt like one of those dreams when your staring up at the ceiling and images fly a crossed your eyes. Yes definitely one of those dreams. ‘Is this real?’ Tara lay a cross her bed staring up at the ceiling watching the day fly by again. After she gave Willow the note, she smiled at the image of the adorable red head, nothing seemed to register. She went and ate, but had no clue what she ate. She went to class, but the only word that seemed to have been heard was the phantom whispering of her name by Willow’s sweet lips. Tara visibly shivered as thought from physiology class came rolling back. Closing her eyes for a brief moment trying to calm her starting to over heat body. ‘Don’t do this again… I already took a cold shower! I really don’t want to do it again.’ Tara looked down her body, imploring it to remain in control. ‘Stop now and I promise you’ll get a treat later… chocolate-y goodness, sound good?’ Tara grunted as images of Willow and chocolate filled her mind. Shaking her head lightly trying to rid her head of those thought, she lazily went around the room picking up the already spotless room. Stopping her movements when she thought she heard knock. ‘It’s only 7:15, Tara… many are you loosing it.’ She walked to the miniature walk in closet a hung a skirt up. Poking her head out when a second, louder, knock sounded. ‘Maybe that really is the door.’ She finished hanging the skirt and checked the clock one more time. ‘Who could it be? Willow’s not supposed to be here till…’ She opened the door to a grinning red head. ‘now…’
“Hey!” Willow bounced slightly on the balls of her feet.
“Hi.” Tara smiled warmly at the red head.
“Sorry I’m early. It’s just I live so close and I wanted to be on time… I just had no idea that I lived that close. Plus… there was a whole wanting to get here early because I was excited to be with you… I mean doing spells and witch-y what not… and this is me babbling, which you really should consider stopping me when I do this because… your laughing? Did I say something funny, I mean when I start to babble…” Pausing for a brief second to catch a breath for round two of Willow-babble.
‘She’s so cute when she does this… does she know this?’ Tara gave another half smile and quirked an eyebrow, giggling softly as round two of babble began.
“… then it’s just… what? Something wrong?” Willow started to blush as Tara began to stare intently at her, smiling.
“No… no sweetie. I was just admiring how cute you are when you babble.” Tara tilted her head slightly, her hair came cascading down from her neck and accented her face.
Willow swallowed hard. ‘She called me sweetie… was it always this hot in here?’ Willow couldn’t take her eyes off the beautiful blond, blushing when the complement sunk in. “Thanks, but-”
“No, it’s true. You are adorable.” Tara smiled and mover to one side. “Would you like to come in?” ‘Please, say yes…’ Tara searched Willow’s face for any sign of hesitation or rejection.
Beaming. “I would love to.” Willow slowly walked by making sure her and Tara’s hands gently touched. “Sorry…” Willow pressed her hand a little harder against Tara’s. “I can’t walk today…”
Tara gently pressed her hand back against Willow’s and felt the powerful jolt again. Breathlessly whispering, “Yeah… no problem. You, um, you want something to drink?”
Willow enjoyed the quick pass of energy, but soon realized that her mind was not going to behave it’s self. Images of kissing Tara’s lips, her neck and other parts filled her mind’s eye, as she tried to concentrate on making on foot move in front of the other. Again swallowing hard, she squeaked, “Sure.” Licking her dry lips as she glanced over Tara’s body again. “Something wet… I mean… water would be nice.” Blushing crimson at her slip up. ‘Please, don’t say anything about that…’
“Okay, water it is.” Tara smirked and decided to let the comment go, it was to early to flirt. ‘I want to flirt? Of cores I do… look at her. But is she?’ Tara walked over to the miniature fridge, which sat in the corner of her room. Bending down to search the continence of the small white box.
Willow watched her every move. The way her hips moved with such grace. ‘She has nice hips…’ Willow’s breath caught when Tara’s kaki pants caught just perfectly around her butt. “T-This is a nice room you have.” Willow tried to look anywhere, but Tara’s beautiful frame. Catching another glimpse out of the corner of her eye, she tried to focus her thoughts elsewhere. “Do you room with anyone?” Willow’s eyes finally fell on the single full sized bed in the opposite corner. “Oh…”
“Nope… just me. I’m kinda a one girl type of gal.” Tara playfully winked and handed Willow a water bottle. ‘How are you being so bold? Don’t stop now, you may win her over.’
Willow blushed and unscrewed the top and suck down the continence of the bottle in long gulps.
Tara couldn’t help, but watch as the water emptied down the red head’s long slender neck. Slowly she took a sip and recapped her own bottle.
Willow noticed a small bead of water escape Tara’s lips and nearly whimpered when Tara’s tongue collected it.
“So…” Tara nervously chewed her lip.
“So…”
