Thanks to: Washi, Stroke of Luck, Lt Sticks, the vamp nurd, 3peanuts, Fuzz WT, Willster, littlecrazy80, Scout, and barnabasvamp, for the feedback. And everyone else who's read the story...I'm glad you're enjoying it and I hope that you like the next part. It's more of a teaser, with a mild cliffhanger.

Food for Thought Part 4





The Bronze was full of life as young people crowded into every corner of the building. The group of five made their way to the back and squeezed into one of the empty sofas. Buffy left the seat next to Tara empty, hoping that Willow would take the hint, but Anya snatched it up before the redhead had a chance. Willow and Buffy were left with the small, cornered love-seat while the others occupied the couch.



Not even a minute after being situated, a nice looking young man approached Tara, “Hi, I’m Christopher,” he flashed a charming smile, “would you like to dance?”



Willow looked back and forth between the man and Tara, before finally settling on the stranger with a menacing glare. “Did you just growl?” Buffy whispered so only her friend could hear, but the redhead ignored her and continued to focus on the two individuals.



The blonde was at a loss for words as her mouth opened and closed several times. She shot a quick glance to Willow, whose features softened a little sadly, before answering. “Um...no, b-but thanks,” she watched the man shrug and walk away.



The group sat in silence until Xander spoke up, “Drinks? Snacks?” He offered. “I have money, so you gals can get whatever you want,” he smiled, puffing his chest out.



After they called out their orders, Xander and Buffy went off to the bar. The seat next to Anya was now empty and Willow contemplated on whether or not she should move. On one hand, she would be closer to Tara, but on the other, she’d have to put up with Anya more than she cared to. Deciding that her current position had an angled, yet better view of the blonde, Willow remained where she was.



Tara, who was wearing a simple peach wraparound skirt and white top, stopped to appreciate Willow’s attire while the redhead appeared to be lost in her own thoughts. She was mesmerized by the way her boss’ dark-blue jean skirt complimented her small frame and the loose curls in her shoulder length hair. She would’ve loved more time to savor the beauty, but she quickly dropped her eyes as soon as Willow caught her staring.



Tara, this isn’t a fifth grade crush, the blonde told herself, just look at her. She glanced back up and her eyes once again connected with the redheads. See, that wasn’t so hard, her eyes twinkled as she smiled under the dim light.



“So Tara, where are you from?” Anya’s voice broke through the haze.



“W-What?”



“Where are you from?” Anya repeated. She was bored, and tired of waiting around for Xander to get back. She thought that if she monopolized herself, time would go by much quicker.



Oh my god, Anya’s actually trying to have a civil conversation, Willow frowned, And why didn’t I ask her first?



“Los Angeles,” Tara finally answered.



“What made you decide to come here, of all places,” Anya turned her nose up a bit, “I mean, Sunnydale isn’t exactly the crème de la crème of American cities.”



“Then why are you still here?” Buffy retorted as she and Xander rejoined the group and began handing out drinks. Anya hadn’t expected anyone to challenge her statement, and tried to think of a quick comeback to Buffy’s question. Unsuccessful, she huffed, “C’mon Xander, let’s go dance,” she pulled the young man up, just as he was about to sit.



The departure of the couple, had left an open space next to Tara, which of course, Willow noticed. Buffy also noticed and jerked her head several times toward the empty section.



“Go,” she urged with a hushed whisper. The redhead took the hint and slid onto the sofa as Tara looked out into the throng of people on the dance floor.



“Do you want to dance,” Willow asked nervously and extended her hand. The blonde stared at the hand, and nodded as she grasped the soft digits.



The music flowed from the speakers and into the couple as they swayed to the bass and lyrical rhythm. Though their dancing could be best described as ‘two stepping’, the girls were too lost in their closeness, to care.



Buffy continued to watch her friends, until something... someone, in the far corner caught her eye. She briefly turned back to the dance floor, before going to investigate.



When the band wrapped up their last performance, the lights on the dance floor were turned down a notch and softer music began to play.



“We can sit down,” Willow watched as a few people left the floor. Most of them, alone. “No,” Tara gently pulled Willow’s hand back when the redhead backed away. “Please,” she rubbed her thumb against the other girl’s skin. Willow swallowed hard and rested her other hand on Tara’s hip. The movement pulled them closer, and Tara released the hand she held, to slowly close the gap. Their bodies pressed together, making their breasts touch and their lips, only inches away.



“Ha...how’s that for your ‘not a lesbian’ theory,” Anya asked her boyfriend as she gestured toward Willow and Tara. Xander grinned and continued to stare at the couple, until Anya’s arms tightened around his neck.



“This is nice,” Willow’s words tickled Tara’s lips. The heat radiating off of Tara’s body, sent chills down her spine. “Mmmhmm,” the blonde’s eyes flickered back and forth from green eyes to thin lips, “really nice.” She inched her face closer. Lips moved closer. Their breath mingled, and then...



“Okay folks, the band agreed to play another song for us,” the announcement came over the intercom as the music was abruptly cut off. The people cheered, separating from their partners as the band took the stage.



The girls snapped apart, standing awkwardly in the middle of the dance floor as people began to dance around them. “We should...,” Willow began.



“Yeah,” Tara nervously pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. Her demeanor had completely changed from five minutes ago. They left the dance floor, meeting Xander and Anya on the way.



“Where’s Buffy?” They searched around the room. As if on cue, Buffy walked into the lounge, smiling at the group. “Where’d you run off to?” Xander asked.



“Oh, I uh, I was just checking something out,” she cleared her throat, “so are we ready,” she turned to her roommate, “or do you guys wanna stay a little longer?”



“Let’s go. The band’s playing the same song they were playing when we got here,” Anya whined. “Is that okay with you?” Buffy looked from Willow to Tara. The girls silently nodded.



Okay, two seconds ago, they were clinging together...and now they won’t even look each other. Buffy frowned until an idea struck her. “You know what, I’m a little tired,” she yawned, “Xander can you give me a ride home?”



Anya opened her mouth to ask why Willow couldn’t, but quickly caught on when Buffy glared and looked at the two girls, who seemed oblivious to the conversation. “Sure Buffy,” Xander took a few sips from his drink so it wouldn’t go completely to waste.



Once the cool night air hit her, the clouds in Willow’s head cleared a little. “Buffy, where are you going?” She asked as her friend walked the opposite way with Anya and Xander.



“I’m getting a ride with Xander, remember,” Buffy called back. “Oh, right. Yeah,” Willow nodded. Tara couldn’t stop the awkwardness as Willow opened the door for her. But why? Less than ten minutes ago, she was more than ready to kiss the redhead. It was obvious that Willow felt some sort of attraction toward her...and she was definitely attracted to the young woman.



Willow walked around her car as Xander pulled around beside her. The car slowed down enough for Buffy to wave and give Willow two thumbs up, then drove away. Willow shook her head at her friend’s silliness, before taking a deep breath and climbing into the car.



The ride to Tara’s apartment was silent, and other than a few furtive glances, they didn’t look at each other.



So what happens now? Willow’s hands became clammy against the smooth material of the steering wheel. She almost kissed me in The Bronze, and now she won’t even speak to me. What if it’s me? What if I came on too strong. Too fast. What if she isn’t attracted to me, and I pushed too hard when I asked her to dance. No, because then she wouldn’t have accepted or tried to kiss me. Ugh, Willow frowned as she focused on the road.



Okay so I tried to kiss her...wanted to kiss her, Tara looked out the window, watching the trees zoom past. So why did I stop...and why didn’t she try to kiss me back? Maybe she was just flirting and doesn’t really want a relationship. Or maybe it’s because we work together and she doesn’t want to complicate our friendship. What if I read things wrong...what if it’s me. She sighed softly as Willow pulled up outside her apartment complex.



“Thanks f-for inviting me out with you,” Tara said once the car came to a complete stop.



“You’re welcome,” Willow smiled, “so I’ll see you tomorrow? 7am?”



“Okay,” Tara nodded, “goodnight,” she moved to leave the car and paused, “Willow?”



“Yeah,” Willow looked up into the blonde’s eyes.



“Would you like to come inside?”

Wow, and again...Wow! This is shaping up to be a really great fic!



I absolutely love how Buffy is playing Cupid here. She's saying and doing all the things I would do to help seal the deal...That's so awesome!



I'm also glad to see that Tara isn't totally shy. I was a little shocked that she invited Willow inside. A good shock, but a shock nonetheless.



So, I guess it's safe to assume a little naughtiness for the next post...Notice I didn't say smut, I said naughtiness...ain't 2 proud to beg



Great job, onyxsundrops!! Woo-hoo!

XOXO

[onyxsundrops]

Hey



Lt Sticks-Thanks for reading and for the comments. Now, whether or not she'll say yes... I'm still trying to decide



the vamp nurd- I know, it was quite rude of me to leave you hanging like that



Washi- Aw, you should know by now, that my life isn't complete unless I throw in a little cliffhanger every now and then.



missspangles- Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like the fic ...the next bit will be up soon.



Stroke of Luck- You wouldn't really kill her right? And I know, Anya can be a bit dense sometimes, but she's so fun to write.



2DIAMONDS- The idea of Buffy playing Cupid, just kinda happened. But she does fit the bill of the lonely match-maker. Or does she? As for the question of naughtiness...



fairydust-I'm not that evil. Honest! Thanks for reading!



Arwen276- Now, why'd you have to go and bring out the pouty face. I mean, geez, a girl can only take so much!



Willster-Thanks for the comments, lets she does say yes.



Littlecrazy80- I vote yes, too ... but my vote doesn't really count, since I already know the outcome.



So will Willow go up for tea, crackers and possible naughtiness... or decline and get murdered by a mob of Kittens? If I don't update later tonight, I will tomorrow. Thanks again for reading!

[precious ophelia]

This is such a great fic. You are a rotten little tease though, please oh please write more very soon. You are a great writer, I can tell you have so much talent. Bravo to this fic. Pointer - A lot of other authors refer to the vagina as a 'pussy' or 'cunt' in the sex realted dialoge, PLEASE try not to do this, I find it off putting and tacky. Anyway keep up the fantastic work, it's very much appreciated by this w/t fan!

[onyxsundrops]

Sorry Washi, I must've signed off before your post, otherwise I would've updated, instead of going to bed. I hope you have a chance to read the next part before you leave.

All though, I don't have any personal problems regarding the use of those words, I do respect your opinion on the subject. If I remember correctly, I didn't use it in my other fic, and I don't see why I should start now. However, there are a lot of other great writers who use substitutions, and some who don't, but in my own opinion, it doesn't make it any less loving, romantic or sensual. I'm happy that you're enjoying the story and thanks for the comments!

Food for Thought Part 5





Willow blinked fiercely, wondering if she heard Tara correctly, “What?” She coughed to clear the dryness in her throat.



C’mon, don’t chicken out now. “W-Would you like to come inside?” Tara repeated. She placed her hand on the edge of the open door, starting to feel a little uncomfortable as Willow continued to stare at her.



“Yes,” Willow whispered. She feared that if she spoke any louder, the offer would fade into a dream. A figment of her imagination.



“Okay,” Tara smiled and stepped out onto the curb. Willow circled around the parking lot and found an empty space in the back, under a large tree. She turned off the engine and took a minute to calm herself before meeting Tara on the concrete path which led to the apartment entrance.



The redhead wiped her damp hands on her skirt as she walked beside Tara. Okay, calm down. Calm down. Willow chanted inside her mind. She’s probably inviting you up for a drink and a little friendly chitchat. She let her eyes drift to Tara’s butt as the blonde stopped at the gate. Yeah, just chitchat.



What am I doing? Tara bit her lip as she pressed the number to her apartment. It’s okay...you don’t have to do anything. Just talk. She caught a glimpse of Willow’s chest, while the distracted redhead watched a car pull into the parking lot. Just talk. She reminded herself as the gate buzzed open.



Tara’s apartment was already lit when the girls walked in, and for the first time since meeting Tara, Willow found herself wondering if the blonde lived alone or with a roommate. “Is someone here?” The words escaped before the redhead realized that she had spoken.



Tara’s puzzled expression searched around the living room, until her eyes locked on Willow, who looked as if she were expecting someone to jump out any moment. “Oh, n-no. I um, I always keep a light on, even when I’m not home.”



“Oh, okay,” Willow nodded, slightly embarrassed. She walked further into the room so Tara could close the door, “You have a really nice place.”



“T-Thanks,” Tara blushed, “Please have a seat. I’ll only be a minute,” with that, she walked down the darkened hallway, which led to the bedroom.



Willow smoothed her skirt down as she sat on the caramel-colored sofa. She stared back to where Tara had disappeared and saw the blonde walking toward her with two glasses of red liquid. She sat them down on the table in front of Willow and in one quick moment, hiked her skirt to her knees and straddled the redhead.



“Tara, what ar-,” Willow’s words were silenced by a slender finger. “Shhh,” she ground her hips down into Willow’s thighs, “do you want me to stop?” She trailed the finger under Willow’s jaw, up past her ear, and into red tresses.



“God no,” Willow panted, “but-.” She was once again silenced, this time by Tara’s lips as she swallowed whatever Willow was about to say.



“Willow.” The name rumbled between their lips, before Tara captured the bottom lip with her teeth and bit down.



“Willow.” The redhead’s eyes snapped open. Disoriented, she looked around until she saw Tara standing in the entrance to the kitchen.



“Huh,” Willow shook her head, “I’m... I’m sorry, what were you saying?”



“Are you okay?” The concern was evident on her face as Tara stepped forward. “Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine,” Willow nodded quickly.



“Okay,” Tara frowned, “um, I asked if you wanted something to drink.” She was a little worried when she walked into the living room, and saw Willow leaning back on the couch with her eyes closed. At first, she thought her friend was just relaxing, until she began shifting and moaning softly.



“Sure, whatever you’re having will be fine.” Tara nodded and went into the kitchen.



God, I’m such a pervert. Willow huffed. She kindly invites me into her home and I’m orchestrating soft porn scenes about her.



She glanced around, examining the various paintings and pictures hanging from the walls, stopping at one picture in particular. The photo was of a blonde child and a young woman. Arms raised in the air, the child smiled down as her mother held her up by her waist. Grassy fields filled the background as golden rays shone down through the toddlers hair, illuminating the love on her mother’s face.



“I hope this is o-okay,” Tara returned with two bottled waters and handed one to her guest. Willow turned from the photo and gratefully accepted the beverage. As soon as Tara sat down on the other side of the couch, the room lapsed into silence.



“Willow, about w-what h-happened at the b-bronze,” Tara fidgeted. She was about to continue until Willow cut in. “No, you don’t have to explain-.”



“But I want to,” Tara found the courage and reached over to place her hand over the redheads. The combination of their body heat, made the cold bottle in Willow’s hand began to sweat. “What I’m trying to say is...” Just do it Tara...the worst she can do is push you away. She leaned over and placed a small kiss on Willow’s cheek. When Willow didn’t respond, she released her hand, “I’m sorry, I s-shouldn’t have done that. I...,” her shoulder’s dropped and she retreated back into herself.



Willow was still basking in the sensation that Tara’s lips left on her skin, and it took her a moment to process the blonde’s apology. She carefully slid across the smooth surface of the couch, and lifted Tara’s chin to return the same chaste kiss. “Are you sorry for that?” She asked. When Tara smiled and shook her head, she went on, “Then please don’t be sorry for this,” she slowly pressed against Tara’s full lips, and hesitated until the other girl applied a little more pressure.



Tara’s body relaxed as she began to sink into the kiss. They pulled apart and searched each other’s eyes for any sign of regret. Finding nothing, Tara teased her top lip against Willow’s bottom and closed the gap once again. They stayed in the same position for what seemed like forever, until Willow’s tongue peeked its way into the soft flesh of Tara’s mouth. Darting out for a second, then sliding back in, Tara captured what Willow was offering and began to suck.



Their drinks forgotten, the bottles rolled to the floor with a thud as Willow shifted onto her knees without breaking the kiss. Tara’s fingers flexed in Willow’s hair and she pulled the redhead with her as she fell back onto the sofa.



Feeling herself press into Tara, Willow finally came up for air, “Is this...too fast?” She asked, using her arms to steady herself as she hovered over the beautiful woman beneath her, “We can slow down, if you want,” she continued to breathe heavily.



“No,” Tara whimpered at the loss of contact. “Unless, you...,” she looked up, biting her lip in concern. “Never.” The huskiness of Willow’s voice, sent a wave of goose bumps up and down Tara’s arms. She smiled and gently pulled the redhead into another passionate kiss. Time ceased to exist as they dissolved into one another.

wow! Go Tara! Go Willow! I cant wait to see what happens next hehe

Okay, you totally had me fooled at the "dream sequence" part. I'll be honest. You're terrible, in a wonderful, teasing kind of way. You certainly know how to leave 'em wanting more.



I love the uncomfortable Willow you have here. So very cute she is when she fumbles around her thoughts. Tara being a wee bit more, well, assertive is a great sight. And ultra-supportive Buffy is great. That's nice to see. Xander's comraderie is always a good thing. And Anya still being Anya. Gotta love that.



I can't wait to see where you're going with the girls!

You. Are. A. Tease!



You just had to stop there! *giggles*



Loving this story...loving your other story. They are both fantastic!! Yay for you!!
