~ Jen



“Sleep well baby?” Willow asked, a little more pep in her voice now that she had a dose of morning caffeine.



“Like a log until my pillow got up and left.” Tara smirked and playfully slapped Willow across the shoulder. ~ All You Wanted - Nath

Tara: I said quirky.

[MissQuirky]

Hey if begging helps i'll do some more of it!! But sometimes it tends to get messy, evil, and turns into harassing and just nagging and nagging - not pretty, BV knows!



Hopefully ya can get it out tonight, tho! Would make me very HAPPY - as i'm sure lots of other kittens too!!

Ashley ;

Glad the troops have shown up to help I hate to carry the label of "harasser" all by myself.



Tara22;

Seriously......You don't know Ashley like I do, and things can become messy verrry quickly. Once the "nagging" begins, it's all down hill.

So save yourself and work on that update!

Aimee : Thanks!! I'm so glad you like Tara's family. It took me ages to decide how I wanted to portray her family, and I totally aggree, her dad is tons better in this one that the one in the actual Buffyverse *growls angrily at the thought of him*



Karen: glad you liked it!!! I quite enjoyed the cake making scene too hope you like my next part.



Viv: aaaw thanks! glad you liked!! I could definitly see more sleepovers in the near future for our girls glad you liked Tara's family, like I said earlier, it was a really hard choice to make, deciding what her family would be like, but I am (or so I think) happy with the outcome...

Jen: Wow! go you on reading it all at once (well, I'm not to sure how long it takes to read, but I assume at least a substantial amount of time) glad you like!!!



Michelle: Glad you liked!!! Thanks!! , aaaw my writing is awesome? you're so nice!!



Ron: Glad you liked my update (which is so clearly evident in the manner you requested more )



Thanks to BV, Ashley, Ron, and SS



woohoo! (I think...) I now have people who nag me about my updates (although I must point out that I am getting increasingly worried about it, as BV has so kindly pointed out, it can get kinda nasty... oh well, will just have to update then...)





Ok, WOW, I feel like I just wrote another chapter, that'll teach me to wait so long before I update! Hope you like this next bit, it's kinda a little, not so much, sad, but you have my word that my future update will be filled with lots more exciting, happy, possibly even humorous, Will/Tara moments....





Part 9



The sun shone into the bedroom through the open curtains. Tara moved slightly on the bed. Waking up, two thoughts hitting her. Willow kissed me. Willow loves me. Tara smiled, feeling the warm sun on her face. She reached out slowly, expecting to feel soft skin but feeling nothing but empty space. She opened her eyes to confirm what she already knew. Willow was not sleeping on her bed. She glanced around quickly for some sign of the redhead and saw her curled up by the door, her head in her arms.



“Willow” she said gently, walking over to her. “Will, are you ok?”. When Willow didn’t respond Tara sat on the floor next to her, placing one hand on her back for comfort. “Please tell me sweetie” she said, “I want to be there for you like you are for me Will”.



At those words Willow lifted her head to look at Tara. Tara could plainly see that Willow had been crying. Here eyes were puffy, red, and bloodshot.



“See Tara” she said softly, “I…” she started as if to tell her something but changed her mind in the middle, “sometimes I can’t believe the way my life’s turned out”



Tara looked at her, feeling stung. “D-d-did I do something wrong Will?” she asked, stuttering for the first time in a long time, while being around Willow.



“No! all you did was right Tar. It’s me… all me…” Willow looked down at her hands unable to look Tara into eyes.



Tara reached out and placed some stray locks of Willows flamey hair behind her ears. “talk to me Will” she urged.



“Tara, you love me?” Willow questioned softly, looking at Tara for a confirmation she knew she would get.



Tara nodded, “I love you Will”, she said her voice strong and forceful but filled with worry and fear. “I love you so much sweetie”. Tara pulled Willow into her arms.



Willow’s bottom lip began to quiver as she felt Tara’s arms around her, “I don’t deserve you Tara” she said, tears now streaming down her face, “I am just an insecure little baby, I can’t even care about the friends I have known practically since I was born. You deserve someone so much better than me”



Tara squeezed her tight, “there is no one better than you Will”



Tara looked Willow in the eyes, “in a million years, I would never want anyone else” she said kissing Willow’s cheek, tasting the salty tears.



Willow began to shake in her arms as the tears fell again, “Tara” she sobbed “I don’t understand why I feel these things”

Tara looked confused and almost hurt, thinking that Willow was talking about her love for her, “what things?” she asked softly.



Willow looked down at her hands, “for a long time I have felt so angry, so hurt Tara, and it doesn’t make sense. Sometimes I think that I am just a terrible person.”



Tara looked at her worried, “what do you mean?”



Willow looked up



Tara could see the pain in her eyes



“It started a couple of months ago, I started to feel sad Tara, really sad, and at the same time lost and angry. I... I don’t understand it, but I felt it… it was like this deep emotion would take over me... like I was sinking in this pit of despair, and it was dark, so dark, and I was alone, and I was scared. I have had these horrible dreams”



Tara moved closer to Willow, wanting to take away all the pain.



“I would cry” Willow continued, looking at Tara “until I’d cried all my tears, and then I still managed to cry some more” she sighed and looked at her hands “ I’m so horrible… I can’t even stand to be around my best friends anymore, it’s like they just make me all angry and…and even sadder. The only thing in my life that seems any good... The only thing in my life that can make me smile, is you, Tara, I have only known you for a few days, but it feels like forever, already I love you more than anything I have ever known, but I don’t deserve someone as wonderful as you. I…I am not a nice person”



Tara moved so that she was facing Willow directly. “Now you look at me and listen Willow Rosenberg” she said with a force that even surprised her “what you just told me. What you just described. That sounded like some sort of depression. Depression is a horrible thing to live with Willow. But it does happen and it doesn’t make you any less of a good person. You see Will, you care, you are upset by the things you have been thinking, the way you have been acting, it affected you, and if you were a bad person then you probably wouldn’t have thought twice about it. I don’t know how people’s minds work. I don’t know what it must have been like…”



Tara reached her hand tracing Willows lips lightly, running her fingers up and down them slowly. “But I know you Will. You’re strong. You must be, you survived this long without someone to talk to” Tara sighed “I am here for you Will, always… I am only sorry that I wasn’t before, it… it must have been so hard for you”



Willow looked at Tara, seeing the concern etched on her face, she nodded slowly “but you make it all better Tara… do you… do you think that they hate me now? After the way I have treated them?”



“I don’t think they could ever hate you Will” Tara said softly and then added “and don’t you ever say that you aren’t good enough for me! Ever! You are far more than I deserve Willow Rosenberg! So don’t let me hear you putting yourself down again!”



Willow shook her head, raised an eyebrow and grinned, “wow, I like this side of you”



Tara cracked a smile, “you like it when I act all bossy huh?”



Willow nodded and gave a tiny puppy dog face, “it’s therapy for me, I need to be kept in line”



Tara gave a thoughtful smile, then looked at Willow, smirking, “well if it’s for medical purposes then who am I to hold out on you”, she stood up, pulling Willow up with her and then began kissing her, not a soft, gentle, kiss, but one full of passion and lust.



Willow hadn’t expected the impact Tara had made, and the two girls fell against the wall, neither noticing or caring.



When the girls pulled apart, Tara stood back, looking at Willow who was breathing heavily, she smiled innocently, “did that help at all?”



Willow nodded, “I think it did, yeah, I mean, maybe you should dose that stuff out on a regular basis, just to keep my health levels up”



Tara grinned, “Oh…uh…I think I can manage that” she said planting a small kiss on Willow’s nose.



***



Willow couldn’t believe how fast everything had happened, less than four days ago she had met the love of her life, and less than a day ago, she was at a loss for what to do, knowing that she loved her, wanting to be with her, but then it had seemed so impossible. Now she had Tara, and Tara knew everything and still loved her.



Tara grabbed her hand. “Will you come somewhere with me?” she asked.



Willow nodded, “of course, where are we going?”



After putting their shoes on, Tara led Willow, down the stairs and out the front door.



“I just wanted to go for a walk” Tara said, finally answering Willow’s question.



Willow smiled, “walks are always good, cause, they’re good for you, and good for you, is healthy and healthy is good so, yeah, walks are good”



Tara grinned, “good” she said happily as the two girls made their way down the street to the park.



They walked in silence for a while, just enjoying each other’s company.



Willow stopped, pulling Tara down to sit on the grass with her. The two girls sat as close together as they possibly could and held hands as they looked out over the lake.



Tara rested her head on Willow’s shoulder.



After a few minutes Tara spoke.



“Will?” she asked softly, breaking the comfortable silence they had been enveloped in.



“yeah?”



“How… how are we gonna tell people about us?”



Willow pulled away and looked Tara in the eyes, “Oh... uh…I wonder how they’d take it … I mean… well…”



Tara looked Willow in the eyes, “we don’t have to tell them, I mean, not yet anyway, not until you are comfortable with us”



Willow interrupted, “I am comfortable with us baby!, it’s just… it’s not that…it’s…”



Tara shook her head, “no, I meant to say ready… I don’t mind Will, whenever you are ready”



Willow nodded snuggling up to Tara as the morning sun shone down on the girls.



“I want to tell em… I want to tell em soon, maybe, just, not yet” Willow said.



“ok Will” Tara said softly “as long as I’m with you I’m happy, no matter who knows”



Willow smiled at Tara, one that seemed to radiate the love she felt for the blond. “I love you Tara” she said putting an arm around the blonds waist and staring out at the lake.



“I love you too Will”, Tara whispered as they watched the ripples in the water flow as two ducks swam past.

Tara: Every time I... even when I'm at my worst, you
always make me feel special. How
do you do that?





Willow: Magic

**sigh**



That was excellent. I liked how Tara bolstereed Willow's feelings, making her feel better. And the walk to the lake was so romantic. I'm sure Willow will find the right time to tell her friends about Tara.



Thanks, Ron

Lovely how resolute Tara was about Willow valuing her self worth. Our girls are so good for each other!

Yes indeed, as a team, Ash and I can get things "started", but there is always room 4 seriuos harassers to assist in the cause. I do believe Ashley will be "reviewing" applications today?

More soon?...Notice I backed off a little as you were kind enough to throw us a little update?

Willow loves take-charge Tara, too. Go her! Wow, I wasn't expecting the whole depression thing...I really like how Tara brings out the happy will, whereas her friends don't know how to deal with her.



Yay, you don't know how happy I am that they're going to tell people about them! Most fics atm have people accidently finding out about Tara and Willow (not that that's a bad thing, I love that too...), but it sounds like they're actually going to sit their friends down and, well, come out.



Such a good update! Hoping for more smoochies soon. And yes, I have to agree, chocolate smoochies are the best...



Thank you!



edited to make my post less bold. It's scary to look at when the whole thing is bold! But as long as u feel special, I guess...!

Vix: Oh wow! Now I feel totally special... the ENTIRE thing of *grins* feedback in bold! wow, thanks! take charge Tara is definitly a side of Tara that Will likes you didn't expect the depression thing? ooo... it's kinda one of the few things that I have been planned since the beginning. I prefer to write it as it comes to me. cause then each chapter is a surprise to me too



I am definitly gonna have them tell people as apposed to being found out... I think their friends should know, not to mention parents... *shudder* that one would be fun....

smoochies are sure coming, and just a bit of spoiler, more naughty teasy Tara

(if your replies from me were weird at the begining it was because I was attempting to use words other than glad... goodness, I used that word alot! a fun passtime? go through my fic and count the number of times I've said glad... ok, fine so that's not fun, but yeah, you get the idea...)



Edited to tell Vix that I feel even more special that you edited it so as not to scare me... wait! it was so as mot to scare me right?

Wow. I loved it. And it was just what I needed to get out of my funk. I was sat here listening to Aaron Carter (see, really was feeling bad!) but now I'm off to put something decent on and imagine Amber (or Tara, either would do really) coming along and saving me like Tara just did Will. Also, I love the fact that Tara's dad is nicer, I like it when it's like that.

[barnabasvamp]

OK now...we have been very patient kittens, but time is runnin out...

We need more, SOON!

Part 10



Willow Rosenberg tried hard to concentrate on the teacher at the front of the classroom, but no matter how much she tried her mind just continued to wander. It had been almost two weeks since the sleepover, and Willow had been spending as much time as humanly possible with Tara. And whenever they weren’t together, they would be, in her head, taking a walk, holding hands, kissing, or just talking. Willow felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders in the course of that one weekend. She would still find herself feeling a little sad sometimes, but all she had to do was snuggle up to Tara and it would all be ok. Tara seemed to have a sixth sense that was Willow. She was so in tuned with her feelings that it was amazing, and Willow had never felt more loved.



Tara picked up her pencil and then dropped it down onto the desk. Picked it up and then dropped it again. She was restless. If their was one thing that made her hate science more than not being able to do it, would have to have been the serious lack of Willow presence. It happened to be her worst class and it was just plain bad luck that she and Willow weren’t together for it. ‘must go to Willow, must be near Willow, must see Willow’ Tara lay her head on her arms as the teachers voice droned on, imagining that she were anywhere but here, all alone with a certain someone else.



Buffy stared at the redhead sitting in front of her. Lately she hardly ever saw her, and when she did, she was always with Tara. Buffy sighed, thinking of the new girl, she seemed nice, and even though she was very shy, there were times when she would see her with Willow, and it was like she was really seeing her, like her heart was shining through. The two girls seemed to complement each other perfectly, each boosting the other and making their lives better. Willow no longer appeared to be so sad. Buffy didn’t know what had been wrong with her but she was thrilled that she was happier now. ‘oh… but you’re not’ this tiny voice in her head kept saying ‘you’re jealous, really, really jealous, you can’t stand it that Willow is spending all her time with someone else…’. Buffy frowned, ‘I am happy for her’ she thought, silently battling the voices in her head ‘I am’, but deep down she felt a tinge of sadness. ‘am I really that terrible a friend?’



***



The second the bell rang, it was up and out of the classroom. Willow grabbed her books and rushed past a crowd of students who were slowly making their way to the door.

“ah... Wi-” Buffy started but stopped when Willow went zooming past without even so much as a hello.



“ok their Buff?” Xander asked after untangling himself from his desk. “cause you look like someone killed your favorite puppy, or your only puppy, either way, what’s up with the buffster?”



“does she hate me?”



“huh? Did you just ask me if she hated you? Cause I’m assuming your ‘she’ could only mean two people, Willow, or our lovely teacher who decided to assign us all a butt-full of waste-of-timish homework, and seeing as how I don’t think you would be so upset by her hating you, I’ll settle with option number one… does Will hate you?! Yeah, sure Buffy, like she could ever hate you! Best friends remember?” Xander looked at her, she appeared to be deep in thought. “earth to Buffy. Come in Buffy!”



“what…oh…yeah… I’m fine… it’s just, she’s never around anymore Xander”



Xander gave a small grin, “could be because she is now Miss popular, it’s a nice thing for her” he said his face containing a smile made of pure love and friendship, “she really deserves that”



Buffy looked over at Xander and nodded, “yeah…yeah she does...”



***



“Tara!” Willow called as she raced up the hallway.



Tara stopped and turned around, a huge smile plastered one her face. “Willow!” she said grinning. ‘God how I wanna kiss her right now!’ she thought.



Willow stopped, breathing hard. “h- h-ow…was…your science class?” she asked panting.



Tara laughed, “aaaw sweetie, looks like you ran too fast”, then realizing what she had just said, she glanced around the hallway to see if any faces were directed at them, and finding none, she turned back to look at Willow, a small sheepish grin on her face. “yeah…uh…wanna get out of here? We can have lunch outside...”



Willow nodded eagerly, a little flustered, “yeah! Let’s go” she said grabbing her arm.



***



Outside, resting peacefully together, hidden by trees, the girls savoured their time.

“ I missed you Will”, Tara said, reaching out and running her hand down Willow’s arm.

Willow smiled, “I missed you too baby” she said snuggling up on the kneeling Tara’s legs, she looked up at her and smiled, blissfully happy.



When the bell rang signaling the end of lunch break and the start of yet another bunch of separate classes, Willow stood up, reaching out her hand to help Tara up.



“Will…” Tara started wanting to say it before they left the protection of the trees, “I am so sorry about before, I… in the school… I nearly blew it…I’m sorry” she finished, genuine regret in her voice.



Willow leaned over and kissed her lightly, smiling, “it’s ok baby, it’s not your fault, I can hardly keep my hands off of you in there”



Tara smiled, “oh me too Will, me too”



Reluctantly Willow let go of Tara’s hand and the two girls walked out of the trees and into the school.



***



“you just need to make more of an effort Buffy”



Joyce Summers was sitting on the end of her daughter’s bed. “if Willow is hanging around with a new friend then maybe you should get to know her too, so the three of you can hang out and do whatever it is that the two of them always do”



Buffy was sprawled out on the bed, “I know, I know” she grumbled “maybe I’ll invite them over on the weekend, we can watch movies, have a real girls night, just the three of us”



Joyce nodded her approval of the idea.



“ I mean, Xander would be cool with the idea, he’s like that, you know, plus I’m sure that he and Cordelia will find some way to fill the time” Buffy said with a grin, getting more and more excited about the idea of inviting Willow and Tara over.



Joyce smiled at her daughter “well, what are you waiting for, you have a phone, you have legs, use them”



***



“Will… Will…sweetie… the phone’s ringing” Tara said gently nudging Willow, in an attempt to wake her up.



“huh… wuh? Tara?” Willow asked groggily.



Tara grinned, “ you fell asleep while we were working, I couldn’t bear to wake you up, but the phone’s ringing and we are the only ones here, so I figured that I should”



Willow sat up quickly and reached out, picking up the phone, “Hello”



“Will? It’s me Buffy, you ok? You sound like you were sleeping or something”



“Oh hey” she said, looking at Tara and mouthing ‘it’s Buffy’ “yeah, I was sleeping before, so what did you need?”

“Oh, I had a great idea Will! Well, since lately we’ve all been kinda busy with, er… other things, and haven’t had much of a chance to hang out, I thought we could do a girl’s night. You, me, and Tara, cause you know, she’s been here for such a long time and I hardly even know her! So what do you think? I mean would you ask her for me?”



Willow looked shocked, not quite what she had expected, but the more she thought it over, the less she could see wrong with the idea, it was even beginning to sound appealing. Her best friend and her girl friend, what more could a girl ask for.



“Will? So…?”



“oh, yeah, sorry… sure Buffy can you just hold on a sec?”



“yep”



Willow took the phone away from her ear and covered the receiver with her hand. “She wants to know if we want to do a movie night sort of thing at her house, the three of us, do you wanna? I mean, I’ll understand if you don’t, cause you might feel a little intimi-”



“sounds like fun” Tara said, silencing the redhead mid-babble, with a small kiss.



Willow reluctantly pulled herself away, grinning, “Ok, well… I …uh… I’ll just be telling her that then” she said as she brought the phone to her ear again.



“we’d love to Buffy” Willow said.



“great, um, tomorrow night then? Um…say eightish?”



“sounds good” Willow said happily



“ok, well gotta go now, see ya Will”



“Bye Buffy”

Buffy placed the phone back in it’s cradle.



‘She’s coming!’ she thought, ‘and Tara said that she was coming too’. Buffy’s brow furrowed, ‘that means that she was at Willow’s house, but Willow was just sleeping…’ Buffy shook her head, ‘ok, not even gonna try and figure that one out’. She stood up and walked down the stairs to get a drink, ‘besides’ she thought ‘it’s all gonna be great… we’ll all be pals in no time!’

Tara: Every time I... even when I'm at my worst, you
always make me feel special. How
do you do that?





Willow: Magic

OMG!



I wonder how long it's going to take Willow to figure out what she just did



I really enjoyed it! Buffy was too cute. And Tara with the sweetie bit

Love that Willow and Tara were both finding it hard to concentrate in class.



Buffy's invitation for the movie night, you have to wonder how much of it was out of genuine concern for Willow and how much is jealousy of Willow's friendship with Tara. Or else I'm just really cynical!

All I can say is that Buffy has always been a little dense



And, the girls thinking about each other all the time, so sweet.

Girls night, what could happen here?

Had to check for an update before I go out.



Movie night sounds fun! Willow and Tara are so cute. I love the way you describe them, especially Tara in her science class. I also loved Joyce's idea for Buffy to hang out with W & T to do whatever it is that the two of them always do!

I think Buffy's going to get a surprise.



Looking forward to your next update

Thanks

I loved the update. It's gonna be very interesting to see what happens when the girls get together. Looking forward to that.

Ah, movie night ... should be fun.



I gotta say that Buffy is just so dense. You've got her pegged pretty well



Great update. Looking forward to the next one.

cool update when Buffy's mom suggested she get to know Tara and maybe do whatever it is that the two of them do, i couldn't stop laughing.

Dude, we're surrounded by perverts!
