Chapter One - It's All So New
Willow glanced at her watch for the sixth time since her first interview at the University library finished - and that was only ten minutes ago. Her best friend was late in picking her up, making that the second night in a row. Leave it to Oz for taking his own sweet time.
Finally a van pulled up to the curb and the passenger door swung open. “Where were you?” Willow frowned and hopped into the van.
“Sorry, practice ran late and Veruca never showed up,” Oz apologized as he pulled out onto the road. “So, my house for a movie?”
“No,” Willow sighed. “I’m beat, plus I have to meet my sister at work...she wants to spend more time with me.”
Oz smirked and looked over at his best friend. “Ocean always wants to spend time with you.”
“Well yea, but she’s moving away next year and I think this time is way more important this time around,” the redhead frowned.
“Okay, so I’ll drop you off at the restaurant and maybe we can catch up this weekend?”
“Sure Oz,” Willow grinned. “So how are things with you and Veruca?”
Oz smiled and shook his head. “I haven’t asked her out yet. She’s hard to figure out, but I’m waiting for the perfect timing.”
“Hmm,” Willow thought about this for a moment. “Why not just ask her out for a coffee and ask her then? I mean, technically you’ll be out with each other anyway.”
“You know, you have it easy,” Oz glanced at Willow, “you like women, you know how they think, what they like...because you are one. So it’s more easier for you to achieve these things.”
“Maybe, or you’re just chicken shit,” Willow laughed.
“Speaking of chicken shit,” the young man said with a teasing voice, “have you asked her out yet?”
Willow barked with laughter and looked at Oz like he grew two heads. “Me? Ask her out? Are you kidding me? She’s... Ocean’s best friend! Isn’t there an unspoken law about dating your siblings best friend?”
Oz just shrugged and kept on driving, turning the corner on Main Street and parked in front of the restaurant. “Plus, you’ve known her since you were five...that’s also a con. But hey, look at it this way, at least she knows your flaws and family secrets right?”
“You really know how to help a best friend out here!” Willow stuck out her tongue, giving Oz a playful smile and saying thanks before heading inside the empty restaurant.

So? Shall I continue?

“I’m falling, hard and fast and I don’t want the heavens above to catch me, if it means that you won’t catch me as I fall, then I just want to keep falling, I want so much to know that my heart is there for you...always.” Tara - Fall To Pieces

And this best friend...
The flirting was great. And I loke the whole 'Crush on sister's best friend' idea.
