Previously…
Buffy stood up and hugged her friend, “Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Willow smiled at Tara, “Bye Tara.”
Tara felt her stomach flip when Willow said her name, “Bye Willow.”
Tara watched the gorgeous redhead leave the house and sighed loudly. < You’ve got it bad Tara. >
… … … …
Willow sighed as she was dragged into the millionth jewellery shop of the day. She collapsed on a chair by the door as Xander walked in search of a piece of jewellery in his “price range” which Willow said he would only get a candy necklace with. < Two hours before I see Tara. > Willow smiled as she thought of the amazing blonde who had stepped into her life the day before. < She’s so smart, and funny, and cute, and gorgeous, and….and I’m falling for a girl! I’m not gay! I think… >
“Willow!”
Willow jumped at hearing her name and realised that Xander was standing in front of her waving his hand in her face, “Finally, been trying to get your attention for ages! I found the one I want, I’m just getting it gift-wrapped. As long as it’s shiny and expensive, Anya will like it. If she doesn’t then she might take pity and turn me into one of the nicer looking demons.”
“Hmmm yeah.” Willow answered distractedly.
“Willow!”
“I’m listening!”
“You went off into daydream land again.”
A young woman appeared with Xander’s gift-wrapped present. He smiled gratefully then left the shop with Willow. They walked side by side in silence till Xander spoke, “So who’s daydream guy? Anyone I know?”
Willow looked at Xander guiltily, “Urm no…no daydream guy.”
“Come on Wills, I know when you’re lusting after someone.”
“I am not!” Willow shouted and displayed her resolve face.
“Ok that’s cool, I will find out sometime though. Just make sure they are good enough for you…and that they make you happy, because that’s the most important thing.”
Willow smiled up at her friend affectionately and stopped walking to hug him briefly, “Thank you.”
“Don’t tell anyone else I said that womanly stuff, it may damage my rep.”
Willow laughed, “Yeah right.”
… … … …
Tara sat down outside the changing rooms as Buffy went to try on another fifty different outfits. At any other time Tara would have been a little more enthusiastic about clothes shopping, but a certain redhead was making her head spin. She hadn’t stopped thinking about Willow since last night. She had even dreamt about Willow! Of course the dreams hadn’t helped at all with the huge crush she was developing on her. The fact that she was falling for a girl didn’t bother her, Tara knew she was gay and was very comfortable with her sexuality. Maybe not comfortable enough to tell her family or friends…or start hitting on her cousins best friend.
Buffy came out of the changing rooms carrying a few outfits that she actually liked, “Come on, we’ll go pay then we can have some coffee or something.”
“That would be great.” Tara said before following Buffy to the till.
… … … …
Buffy placed the bundle of bags she had under the table at the espresso pump. Tara sat opposite her, staring into the lid of her coffee cup. Buffy sighed and rolled her eyes, “Okay who is it?”
Tara looked up startled, “Huh?”
“Who have you fallen for?”
Tara looked back guiltily, “No one.”
“Oh come on! I have worn the “I’ve got it bad” face so many times, I should know what it looks like.”
Tara sighed, “Okay well I might have a crush on someone. I’m not sure.”
Buffy squealed in delight, “Oh I knew it! Someone from LA right? Do I know them?”
“Umm no you don’t know them. I hardly know them. But, I can’t stop thinking about them.”
“Ahh well that is definite crush signs.”
“Yeah, but I don’t think anything could happen.”
“Why not?”
“It’s complicated.” Tara said before resuming staring at the coffee lid.
Buffy saw that Tara was done talking on the matter and decided to let it slide. She tried to change the conversation, “So…hey there’s Xander and Willow!”
Tara’s head shot up and a huge smile spread across her face as she saw her redheaded crush. Buffy got up from the table and ran to meet her friends. Tara watched as Buffy hugged Xander then Willow.
< What wouldn’t I do just to hug her? > Tara continued staring at the red head as Buffy went into deep conversation with Xander. Willow listened to Buffy and Xander for a bit then turned her head to see Tara sitting in The Espresso Pump. Tara nearly had a heart attack when Willow locked gazes with her. She knew she should look away, but she couldn’t drag her eyes away from the beautiful redhead. Willow thought she was going to pass out if she stared any longer, she smiled sweetly at Tara then decided to look away as she felt her face turn red.
Tara’s heart melted when Willow smiled at her. She smiled back and then her heart sank when the red head turned back to look at Buffy and Xander. < Yeah like she’s going to be interested in you! > Tara decided to gaze into her amazing coffee lid again.
… … … …
“Hey Tara!” Buffy’s voice close behind Tara nearly made her jump out of her seat, “I brought Will and Xand over, since were gonna meet Will in an hour anyway, we might as well meet her now.” Buffy grinned and sat back down opposite Tara.
Xander sat down next to Buffy as Willow sat down next to Tara and nearly passed out from being so close to the gorgeous blonde. Tara was trying to keep from going so red that she might stop traffic.
“Tara, this is Xander.” Buffy said happily.
Xander raised his hand a little, “Hey.”
Tara smiled, “Hey.”
The four sat in awkward silence for a while before Buffy spoke, “So Will I hope I can trust you not to take my cousin to those biker bars of yours?” Buffy joked.
“What? No biker bars! I don’t have a bike, or a tattoo, or wear leather.”
“Relax Will I was joking!” Buffy interrupted.
Tara was having trouble breathing after Buffy placed mental images of leather clad Willow in her head. < How am I going to survive a day alone with her? >
TBC
"This whole us things is...bleh!" Willow to Xander in Lover's Walk
Tomb Raider, I can't begin to tell you how many times I have seen that movie.
