SAME DISCLAIMER AS BEFORE...
Chapter SevenThe sunlight peeked through the layers of gauze that hung over the window in Tara's room - sending highlights dancing across the beautiful blonde's face. Willow didn't think that she had ever seen anything more beautiful in her entire life. The sight of this woman, Tara, her Tara...literally took her breath away. She had been laying on her side, her head propped up on her pillow, watching her sleep ever since sunrise. It took all of her strength not to reach out and kiss her sleeping beauty....
"Mmmm....Willow?" Tara said, eyes still closed....
"I'm right here, baby." Willow placed a protective arm over Tara's chest, accidentally (not!) brushing across her breasts before coming to rest across her smooth stomach...
"Mmmmm....yes..." Tara moaned, still half asleep. Willow could see that that brief contact had immediately aroused her - as her nipples became instantly erect, as though she had been caught by a cool breeze.
This was just too much for Willow to take...
Maybe she won't notice...I just want to feel that smooth, velvety skin....run my hands across her body....
Willow-hand had a mind of it's own, as she slowly ran her hand up the inside of Tara's thigh...across the curve of her hip...the smooth of her stomach....
"Don't stop.....please...." Tara said, breathless....
Willow-hand continued her journey, finally coming to rest on the blonde goddess' supple breast.... she couldn't take it any longer....
"Tara....I...."
"Willow....Ohhh.....don't stop....please.....Willow.......Willow!"
Willow awoke rather abruptly....and was rather ticked off having been interrupted in the middle of such a wonderful dream....that is, until she saw who was waking her up.....
"Morning, sleepy-head!" Purred Tara. Leaving a trail of faerie kisses up the nape of the red-head's slender neck.
"Mmmmm.....Tara....." she cooed. Rolling onto her side and wrapping herself around her new love.
"It's almost 10am, sleepy-girl....are you hungry?"
"Sure..." Willow said, slowly becoming more awake "I think that a hefty-size breakfast is in order....where would you like to go?"
"Mmmm....how about the IHOP.... it's close....and then, maybe....if you don't have anything b-better to do....I was thinking...maybe we could hang out....or s-something." Tara said, hopefully....
"I can't think of anything in the world that could be better than spending the entire day with you!" Willow-grin. "I should probably run back to my room and grab some clothes and a quick shower. It should only take me like, say, 20 minutes, tops! Don't want to look all bed-heady when I'm takin' my girl out to the illustrious IHOP!"
She called me her girl! Tara beemed. She couldn't believe it! Her heart raced like she had just run a marathon....
"Great! Then I'll see you in about t-twenty minutes?"
"Make that fifteen..." Willow said...leaning forward for one last kiss before making the run back to her and Buffy's room. She grabbed her clothes from the night before, rolled them into a ball, and tucked them under her arm.... opened the door to the hallway - she turned briefly to blow Tara a kiss - and then took off running down the hallway.
Tara couldn't help but giggle as she watched Willow come close to losing her boxers as she ran down the hall. She had to stop twice to pull them back up before resuming her sprint....
When she rounded the corner, Tara went back into the room....slowly closed the door, and leaned back with a sigh - closing her eyes and smiling contentedly. You could still smell the scent of sandalwood and jasmine - the scent of Willow - in the air.
I'm going to marry her someday.....my Willow.....
Meanwhile....
Willow threw open the dorm room door - tossed her clothes aside - and jumped on Buffy - who was still sound asleep in bed. Buffy's slayer reflexes allowed her to catch Willow mid-jump - deflecting the red-head onto the floor in a heap.
"Will? What the?"
Ok, Rosenberg. Not the smartest thing you've ever done! Mental note: remember slayer reflexes next time - hitting walls with your body is rather painful...
"Are you okay?"
Willow popped up and sat on the edge of the bed. Perky as ever.
"I'm better than okay....I'm better than terrific...I'm the best - the best I've ever been - EVER!...."
"Okay - slow down - tell me what happened....."
"She's wonderful - she's amazing! And she's MINE! I mean not mine in the 'biblical' sense - at least not yet - but she's mine, Buff - and it's the most wonderful feeling I've ever had in my whole life! Oh poop! I'm going to be late - I told her I'd be back in fifteen minutes - that was 5 minutes ago....gotta shower...brush my teeth...what am I going to wear???!!!! Jeans...I've got jeans here somewhere....." Hurricane Willow had just hit the room - leaving a trail of clothing and toilettries in her wake...
"Will....Will? Willow!!! SLOW DOWN! You're wrecking the place!"
"Oh - sorry Buff - I'll pick it up later - I promise....it will be cleaner than clean....sparkley clean....but I've gotta go!"
Willow ran out the door - her toothbrush still in her mouth.
Buffy sat on her bed. Stunned.
Suddenly the dorm room door flew open again - and a slender Willow-arm tossed her toothbrush on the desk - slipped out - and re-slammed the door a second time.
"She's in love....." Buffy smiled.
