Summary – Set slightly in the future, 24-year-old Willow and Tara run into each other, it’s set mostly in New York so no Sunnydale or hell mouth or anything. Just good ol’ fashioned romance.
Part 10 Truly, Madly, Deeply (Savage Garden)Tara awoke early the next morning; the feeling of Willow tucked closely next to her made sure she opened her eyes with a great big smile spread across her face. Tara ran her fingers through Willow’s copper locks and focused her eyes on the sleeping beauty. It seemed so surreal, she couldn’t actually believe that Willow was here in her arms and that she felt the same way about her that she felt about the adorable redhead. It really was a good time to be alive and Tara knew that the feeling would stay that way as long as she had her girl in her arms to wake up to every morning.
Tara’s eyes finally started to wonder around the apartment, sunshine streaming in from the glass doors that lead out to the balcony. As her head swivelled around the room, Tara noticed the door to Alex’s room wide open and realised that her friend hadn’t yet returned from his date. She smiled at the thought that just maybe he might have gotten lucky with Hayley, though she hoped that he didn’t take things to fast with her as she rather liked the brunette girl he was dating.
Willow’s eyes fluttered open and she noticed Tara looking around the apartment. When those blue eyes eventually settled on hers, she felt like she actually belonged somewhere, and that place was looking into those blue eyes where she just seemed to loose herself. A smiled crept onto her face as the absolute feeling of just being with her sweetie sunk in, she could definitely get used to waking up in Tara’s arms more often.
“How you doing sweetie?” Tara asked in a soft caring voice, barely whispering as the redhead adjusted to being awake.
“Great, waking up in your arms is the perfect day to start the day.” Willow smiled as she spoke with the same soft tone and gently squeezed the blonde in a light morning embrace. The feeling of Willow’s body pressed against hers set of all sorts of buttons for Tara and being perfectly rested she decided she better move before she did something she wasn’t ready for.
“You hungry sweetie?” Tara asked as she planted a quick kiss on Willow’s head and tried to gently move the redhead of her, though Willow was having none of it and held on with a little more gusto.
“I can’t get you some nummy nutritious breakfast if I have a beautiful redhead clinging to me.” Tara stated with a smile as she slumped back onto the couch.
“Guess I’ll just have to go hungry then, wont I?” Willow stated, obviously letting go wasn’t an option she was willing to work with.
“As comfy as it is snuggled up next to you, I don’t think we could do it all day.” Tara stated reluctantly.
“I beg to differ.” Willow chimed in resiliently.
“No, I mean after a while it’d probably turn into something a little more than snuggles and I think we agreed we were gonna take it slow on that front.” Tara added with a sly smile and Willow sighed with realisation, just holding Tara on the couch was beginning to have effects on her that she knew snuggling wouldn’t sedate. She sighed once again dejectedly and let Tara up to make some breakfast.
“This better be the best damn breakfast in the world if it’s costing me Tara snuggles.” Willow pouted as the blonde made her way to the kitchen area to prepare the meal.
“What, you doubt my cooking abilities?” Tara asked with teasing shocked look upon her face. Willow grinned at her and just waved her on to go about her business. Willow rested her chin on the top of the couch and just watched the blonde gracefully move around the kitchen and prepare breakfast. Willow couldn’t believe how much she loved watching Tara just do normal everyday things like making breakfast and those feelings scared the hell out of her, but in a really good way.
… … … …
“Hey.” Willow saw Sam pop her head into her cubicle as she spoke, Willow lifted her head and smiled at the brunette.
“Hey stranger, fancy seeing you here.” Willow grinned as Sam walked in and parked her butt on Willow’s desk.
“Yeah well you know me, they pay me appearance money here, so I figure I should at least lob.” Sam grinned in response.
“So I haven’t heard from you since you date with what’s her name?” Willow clicked her fingers as she tried to recall the name Sam had given her.
“Claire, I don’t think I mentioned it before so you can stop stressing.” Sam grinned at her friend who stopped visibly worrying once the brunette had answered her.
“So how did it go with Claire?” Willow asked anxiously, keen to find out how Sam’s date with a girl she actually liked went.
“Well let’s just say it was a weekend a couple of guys aren’t going to forget in a hurry.” Sam responded, she tried hard to look pleased with herself but Willow could see instantly the weekend may have gone alright by Sam’s standards but not the way she wanted.
“So it wasn’t just the two of you?” Willow asked although Sam had already really given her the answer.
“I think last night was an experiment for her, I’m not sure if she liked it or not but she was more than eager to have the guys come along for the ride.” Sam replied a little despondently.
“Hey, maybe she’ll come around, you just need to give her time, maybe.” Willow tried her best to cheer her friend up and Sam managed a weak smile to show her thanks.
“Are you seeing her again?” Willow asked cautiously, she didn’t want to say something that may upset Sam.
“She gave me her number and asked me to call her, but I’m not sure.” Sam hesitated as she indicated this was something that had played on her mind a fair bit since the end of the weekend and now, not that, that was long.
“Did she give her number to either of the guys?” Willow asked as she tried to find a positive out of this mess.
“No.” Sam replied, not sure why Willow had asked her in the first place before it dawned on her what the redhead was hinting at.
“You think, maybe she doesn’t want to see them again but she wants to see me again?” Sam asked with a touch of excitement coming back to her voice. Willow just smiled at her best friend to let her know that she should probably give the girl a call sometime.
“So how was your date with Tara, I want details, every last one of ‘em.” Sam was smiling now and made herself comfortable as she settled on Willow’s desk for her vicarious smoochies.
“It was nice.” Willow blushed and looked away, giving nothing the brunette wanted to here.
“Nice, what’s nice? Did you two have sex, smoochies what tell me Willow before I get large with the butch, and you of all people know that I may look small but I dish out a fair can of ass whooping.” Sam responded with a mock threat as she glared at her grinning but still blushing friend.
“No, no sex, but plenty of smoochies and cuddles.” Willow was quick to point out; Sam could see how delighted her friend was to be back in the dating game.
“Wanna explain the lack of nakedness?” Sam asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Who said there wasn’t any nakedness?” Willow flashed a grin at her friend.
“There was nakedness?” Sam asked in a tone of excitement.
“No.” Willow replied playfully and watched her smut-addicted friend’s face droop somewhat.
“Tease.” Sam pouted towards her friend who just cracked up laughing at the expression on the brunette’s face.
“Truthfully Sam, it’s been so long I wouldn’t know what to do and well the fact I’ve never been with a woman before just adds to the hugeness of it all.” Willow replied with all honesty.
“So you’re afraid you won’t be good in bed?” Sam asked with a raised eyebrow once again.
“Yeah, sorter. I mean that and we want to wait for the right time.” Willow explained the process to her friend.
“Oh please the right time is when you need to come, and sweetie I think you could use a good one right about now.” Sam replied nonchalant and Willow just looked at her friend with mouth agape, she knew she should be used to her friend’s blunt nature but she still managed to surprise her every now and again.
“With Claire, didn’t you want your first time to be special, something you’d always remember?” Willow tried to put in perspective for her friend. Sam’s mind raced to when she was with Claire and how disappointed she was when Claire had hit on the two guys on behalf of them both. She wished she could have her first time with the other girl again, she was sure she would do it differently.
Willow saw the look of understanding on the other girl’s face and gently caressed the girl’s cheek for support. A few signs she’d not seen in her friend before were coming out after she’d met the Xerox girl.
“Hey with the sex thing, when you’re ready, there’s this board on the Internet, the pens board. It’s based on a lesbian couple from t.v they give some really descriptive scenes on it.” Sam grinned at her friend who profusely blushed at the comment.
“I’ll be sure to check it out.” Willow replied all the whilst still blushing.
… … … …
“Hey you.” Willow smiled as she leant against the doorframe to Tara’s office. The blonde girl looked up from her work and instantly returned the smile.
“Hey, come in.” Tara waved the redhead in as she watched her close the door behind her.
“Mmmm, ten hours and seven minutes since I saw you last, entirely way too long.” The redhead continued smiling as she made her way over to the desk and leant over, planting a quick, firm kiss on Tara’s soft smooth lips.
“Entirely.” The blonde agreed as she blissfully sank back into her chair after the quick kiss. Willow walked around so she was sitting on the desk right next to Tara and their hands instantly entwined together as they continued to look each other in the eye.
“So am I going to see you tonight?” Willow asked hopefully as she continued to stare at the other woman.
“As long as you keep you eyes open.” Tara grinned and squeezed her lover’s hand for effect.
“Believe me, you’re all I see when I close my eyes.” Willow reassured her girlfriend what was true. Tara sighed contently, If it wasn’t enough just being with Willow, which it was; her words would certainly swoon anyone.
“You missy, are such a charmer.” Tara teased and quickly pulled Willow in for another brief peck on the lips. They moved their heads slightly apart, both loving the closeness of one another. Suddenly the door opening brought both girls out of their reverie as the straightened themselves up. Luckily for them, Linda had been staring at a report in front of her and hadn’t noticed the closeness between the two of them.
“Ah good you’re both in here, means I wont have to repeat myself.” Linda smiled when she looked up and noticed Willow sitting on the desk staring at her; she was a bit confused as to why both girls were blushing though.
“Okay I’ll make this brief, there’s a meeting tomorrow at four in regards to the Jacobs report. You are both expected to be there so if you have any plans for anything tomorrow evening, cancel them.” With that Linda smiled and left the girls to themselves.
“Great, and so it starts. The board meetings at horrible times.” Tara slumped her head onto her desk and Willow just smiled and ran her fingers through the blonde locks that were splayed across the hardwood desk.
“Well at least I’ll be stuck there with you.” Willow was once again trying to find a positive; well at least she hoped it was a positive.
“Well more time with you is always a plus, it’s just I’d rather it just be the two of us rather than a room full of smelly old board members.” Tara lifted her head from the table and smiled as she replied. Willow just nodded in agreement; there was no argument to be made there.
… … … …
Tara sighed as she walked in the front door to her apartment, she threw her handbag on the counter in the kitchen before grabbing a beer out of the fridge and plonking herself on the couch and flicking on the t.v. She turned her head when she heard some grumbling and noticed Alex walking out of his room rubbing his eyes, the noise she’d made upon coming home obviously rousing him out of his slumber.
“Did I wake you sweetie?” Tara sounded very unapologetic as she laughed at the obvious state of distress the young man was in after being out all weekend.
“Kinda.” He replied with a yawn and made his way next to Tara on the couch.
“Beer?” Tara offered as she held up hers to his face. The fact he recoiled and suddenly leapt up and bolted to the bathroom made her giggle profusely. He stumbled in the front door early in the morning and had explained that he and Hayley had ended in Albany for the weekend and the two had gotten friendly with a young married couple and some serious drinking games were involved and one hell of a cab fare home. She’d called his work and told them he wouldn’t be coming in today and she could see now that he’d spent all day trying to work off his weekend’s work. When he finally staggered back into the main living area, he this time sat in one of the armchairs, away from Tara and her evil liquor.
“So did you and Hayley… you know, on the weekend?” Tara grinned and perked her eyebrows a couple of times suggestively.
“No, no. Way to inebriated to try anything like that. Remind me never to drink anything that isn’t water ever again.” Alex muttered out as his hand clasped over his eyes and forehead as he rested his head on the back of the chair.
“What about you and Willow, you two walking the funky chicken yet?” Alex asked as he removed his hand from his eyes slightly so he could gauge the girl’s reaction. Tara just cracked up at the young man’s analogy of sex.
“No, we’re taking it slow. It’s going well though.” Tara smiled as she gazed upwards as she thought about the beautiful redhead.
“Sounds like things are going to plan then.” Alex managed a smile despite the unsmiling state he was in.
“Very much so.” Grinned a more than happy Tara. “We almost got busted at work today by Linda.” Added a blushing Tara.
“Busted doing what?” This new piece of information had piqued Alex’s interest and all thoughts of his hangover were forgotten for the moment.
“Making with the smoochies.” Tara replied slyly, grinning at her best friend.
“I’m sure Linda would see this as perfect use of working hours.” Alex grinned back at his friend.
“I whole-heartedly agree.” Added Tara, holding back giggles as their conversation lingered.
“I thought you might, being the little vixen that you are.” Alex winked at his friend.
“And under what authority is this coming from?” Asked a questioning Tara.
“None, you just have vixen written all over you.” Alex continued grinning at his friend.
“What, I’m innocent and wholesome. A pure young lady is what people think when they see me.” Tara sat up straight defiantly knocking back her friend’s words.
“No seriously, it’s written all over you.” With that he got up and removed a piece of paper stuck to her back with the word vixen written on it.
“Oh my god, I rode the subway home like that, I’m so embarrassed.” Tara buried her head into her hands as she blushed profusely. Alex couldn’t help it and just cracked up, though it just served to remind him of his headache so he promptly stopped.
“I am so going to get Willow back for this.” Tara stated with a sense of purpose.
“Oh, can I watch?” Alex asked with a feeling of excitement. Tara just glared at him playfully.
“I’m going to Willow’s… alone.” She added with a smile and headed out the door. After his friend was gone the nausea and head-spins all came back to Alex who had to quickly bolt towards the bathroom again.
… … … …
Willow bolted to the door when she heard it knock; she opened it and smiled lovingly at the blonde who stood on the other side.
“Hey sweetie.” Willow offered with a smile, though she only got a mock glare in return.
“You found the note huh?” Willow giggled nervously.
“And how exactly would you know that I’m a vixen Miss Rosenberg?” Tara asked as she pushed her way into the apartment, closing the dor behind her. She kept approaching a retreating Willow with a sly grin across her face. Willow just kept backing up and she had no idea what the blonde had planned for her but figured it couldn’t be good.
Willow eventually backed herself up against her lounge and with Tara continually moving closer forced her to take a seat. Tara straddled the redhead’s thighs and took Willow’s cheeks in her hands. Surprising the redhead, she planted a fiery kiss upon her lips as her tongue slid across her top lip, seeking entrance into the other girl’s mouth.
Willow shocked at everything that had just happened was in no position to resist; not that she wanted too, and eagerly opened her mouth to grant access to the other girl’s tongue. Willow felt the tingling sensation of the two tongues rolling against each other, frantically duelling for supremacy. As easily as Tara had instigated the lip-lock, she removed her mouth from the now panting redhead’s.
“Vixenesque enough for ya?” Tara grinned at the redhead who was still struggling to reclaim all her breath.
“Uh huh.” Was all Willow could reply as the feeling of the blonde straddling her thighs started to send shivers down her spine.
The two girls locked eyes in an intense stare. They could see in the other’s eyes just how much they were cared for. All that mattered in that moment was the two of them, with their arms wrapped around each other, staring at each other on the couch. The incredible feeling of closeness was having an effect on both women as tingles started to spread all over their bodies. Just then, at the most appropriate time, Sam waltzed in through the door with her hands in the air like a ballerina; she silhouetted around the living area in complete bliss.
“You should lock your door.” Tara whispered into the redhead’s ear.
“I couldn’t, I was kinda home invaded.” Willow grinned as she reminded the blonde of what took place.
“Oh yeah.” Tara giggled before they both turned their attention to the girl who was still doing silhouettes around the lounge.
“Okay I’ll bite, why are you so happy?” Tara asked from her position atop Willow’s lap.
“I have a date.” Sam smiled brilliantly, still dancing around.
“With?” Tara added with a raised eyebrow.
“Claire.” Sam replied, never once breaking stride.
“The Xerox girl.” Willow confirmed to her girlfriend.
“Oh.” Tara uttered in understanding.
“So what happened?” Willow asked, curious as to find out what happened after their little talk earlier.
“I rang her up and confessed that I wanted our date to be just the two of us. She thought that I’d wanted her to ask the guys and she said she did it reluctantly. We are going out again tomorrow on a real date, dinner, a show, and the whole works. “An excited Sam cheerily replied.
“That’s great, I’m so happy for you.” Squealed Willow, she run and hug her but she was being straddled by Tara and well… she wasn’t moving for anything right at the moment.
“That’s great Sam.” Tara added whole-heartedly as she smiled at the obvious joy the brunette was in.
“I know, can you believe it, me, on a real date.” Sam continued to squeal in delight.
“Wow, it’s like a whole new Sam.” Willow stated with a smile.
… … … …
Willow and Tara were now just snuggled up close to each other on the couch. Neither of them had let go of each other all-night and well, they hadn’t even managed to remove themselves from the couch. After Sam had spread her joy, she’d left to go and annoy a very hungover Alex with the good news, which left Willow and Tara giggling.
“I can’t believe how much Sam has changed since the day I met her, do you think she looks at me the same way?” Tara raised her head from Willow’s shoulder to look into the redhead’s green eyes as she asked her question.
“I think we’ve all changed so much in the last few months, its kinda coincidental but before you came, she was like the way you met her all the time. I think maybe seeing what we have is having an effect on her.” Willow smiled as she offered her opinion.
“You really think that we’re relationship role-models, I mean it took us long enough to figure out we liked each other.” Tara grinned to her girlfriend.
“I guess, but I feel we have something special here, I mean when I’m with you I feel with have this certain bond. Like we were meant to find each other and be together. I think Sam wants that, maybe Alex too, and all I can say is I hope they find it because it is the absolute best feeling in the world.” Willow replied and Tara could just smile at her girlfriend’s words.
“I think we have something special too.” Tara stated with all her heart. She moved in closer and placed a gentle kiss on Willow’s lips.
Willow melted into the kiss, it was slow and sensual as Tara’s soft lips pressed against her own. Willow pulled Tara into her, close to her body, so close they could feel the heat radiating of the others skin. Tara pushed down on Willow so as she was lying on top of the redhead now, their legs entwined at one end of the couch as the continued to gently kiss in their embrace. Willow groaned as she felt Tara’s leg slip in between her own, her thigh brushing up against her centre as their passion started to rise.
Tara took Willow’s hands from her waist and held them above her head, over the edge of the couch. Their tongues now wrestled forcefully against one another as Willow could swear the thermostat had been turned up a few degrees. Tara slowly pulled out of the kiss and hovered slightly above Willow. A complete look of lust filled both girls’ eyes.
“Are you sure you want this?” Tara asked from her position above Willow.
