Chapter 12 Morning After
The next morning Willow went to turn over onto her side, cause the sun was streaming in from a place she had no clue where, and she realized she couldn’t move. In her mind she kind of started freaking out, thinking that she was paralyzed. But then something clicked, she could actually feel what was against her, and she felt the warm pulse through the skin, that was making contact with her skin. She now realized why there was sun coming into the room, because it wasn’t her room it was…
“Tara,” Willow whispered opening her eyes cautiously to the bright room.
She looked over and she saw the most beautiful thing her eyes had ever laid sight on. Lying on her side, with her head resting on Willow’s shoulder and the pillow, was Tara’s head. She was breathing softly, threw her nose. Her hair slightly tangled but still beautiful, made a short of halo around her face, her arm was tucked up under her chin and she had this look of pure bliss on her face.
Willow figured she had the same look, as all the images and sounds came back from last night. They had finally done it. They had made love for the first time, after wanting it for so long. After wanting this woman in her arms again, she got her dream to come true. She lay there for a few minutes. Studying her face and her body, loving every single curve her eye met, and memorized them all.
She would have stayed there the whole day just watching her angel.
she thought with a smile.
But natured called, and she thought that maybe waking Tara up with breakfast and mochas was a good idea. So she slowly extracted herself from the bed. Careful not to wake the sleeping beauty at her side. and ran into the bathroom. After she came out she looked around the room to find all her clothes. Which they seemed to have made a nice little path to the bed.
Once she was fully clothed and she checked on Tara, to make sure she was still asleep, she quietly exited the room and the apartment. She walked down the block to the Espresso Pump to pick up the mochas. Then she was going to go to Betty’s Bakery and pick up some donuts. She hoped Tara still liked the twisty ones with sugar on them like she did in high school.
After she got all the things, she started to head back towards Tara’s apartment whistling to herself and waving to the people on the street as she went. She was however not prepared for what she saw when she came into the apartment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tara woke up feeling very satisfied and very well rested. She didn’t think that she had ever been this well rested in a long time. She rolled over onto her back and opened her eyes smiling. She had spent the night with Willow. She had finally gotten all her heart wanted for six years. That was that beautiful redhead she had fallen in love with so long ago. As she turned over to say hi, to that very redhead, she was met with an empty bed. The sheets were still messed up like someone had been there, and it was still slightly warm from the body, but no one was there.
Instantly Tara started to cry. She had thought that Willow had wanted everything that she had. She even was the one that asked if she could be her girlfriend again.
“NO,” Tara screamed to the room. “She loves me, she wants me back after everything I did to her, and she wants me back.”
Tara started crying harder, hugging the pillow that Willow had slept on. She didn’t hear the door to her apartment open, then close, and she didn’t see the figure come running into her room. Intil she saw a sea of red in her face. And she registered that someone, was hugging her and rubbing her back. She also realized that that person was talking to her. After she cleared her mind enough to think she listened and felt and realized that person was Willow.
“Tare, Tare what’s wrong baby, what happened. Its ok now I’m here tell me what happened.”
“Y.y.you w.w.w.were gone,” Tara stuttered tears still spilling from her eyes.
Willow pulled back to look into Tara’s face and see that she wasn’t making it up. Then it hit Willow, what this must have looked like to Tara when she woke up. Even though they were together again and Willow could honestly say she trusted Tara with her life, they still didn’t trust each other’s hearts and that was huge. It broke Willow’s heart to even think that Tara felt she didn’t want her, or to be with her.
“Oh baby, I’m so sorry. I went to get breakfast to surprise you. I didn’t expect you to be awake and then I didn’t realized what it could do if you did wake up. I should have left a note. I’m so sorry. But Tare, look at me please,” Willow watched as watery blue met sorry green. “Tara Maclay you need to listen when I say, I love you with everything I have. I lost you for so long and now that I have you, I’m not going anywhere. I know we have a lot to work threw and we have a long road, but I also know that I wouldn’t want anyone else by my side, to face whatever comes more than you. I need you to breathe Tare, can’t you see that.”
Tara felt new tears come to her eyes but not sad ones. These were happy ones, no one else in her life had ever made her feel this special. Her parents loved her yes, and so did her friends, but there is nothing like the love of your soulmate. Tara still couldn’t believe she got a second chance with hers.
Tara launched herself onto Willow, straddling her and kissing all over her face. Willow giggled and held onto her girl. She was so happy her heart could burst. Seeing Tara like that had almost killed her. She was not going to let that happen again. She put her finger underneath Tara’s chin, cause the blonde was currently attacking her neck, and brought her face level with Willow’s.
“My Tara,” Willow said before she captured the lips of her angel and kissed her slowly, deeply letting her feel all the love she could from the redhead.
After they pulled back, they just stayed there for a seconds, feeling the love flow between them. Then Willow realized the mochas and donuts were probably getting cold. She pulled back from her heaven and looked into those eyes she loved so much.
“So I got us donuts and mochas, do you feel up to eating them?”
Tara smiled, “Of course sweetie.”
They walked hand in hand into the living room and sat on the sofa. Willow passed Tara her donut and mocha and got hers out as well.
“Oh Will, your remembered.”
“Of course I did baby, I remember everything”
They sat there and ate in silence. Neither rushing to talk or to start the day. They just wanted to spend the time together happy and in love.
