--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 1

Willow sat at a table in the Starbucks café, her eyes darting between several sheets of paper and her computer screen. Since her meteoric rise to success in the world of computers, Willow rarely pampered herself. Starting a company was hard work, and even now Willow was working herself to the bone.

Since her last relationship with Tanya, Willow had practically discarded every thought of being in a serious relationship with anyone at all. So many things had happened to Willow in her past in terms of relationships that it made her very reluctant to get into another one.

Tanya worked for large media firm in LA where Willow used to live. At the time the redhead was starting her own business and struggling to make a go of it. She was attracted to Tanya from the start and so they had started dating. She had loved her so much...

One day she had been walking home from the work and was very excited to tell her girlfriend about the events of her day. The redhead walked down the hallway and saw that Tanya's door was closed. She didn’t hear any noises from it so she just barged in, only to find Tanya and Kelly, her own best friend, making out.

She was so devasted that she hadn't waited for any explanation; she had bolted across the street like a hunted animal. Her Tanya with her best friend... how could she? Tanya had simply used her for fun, for her own sadistic pleasure. Willow had been a game to her. Now Tanya had discarded her and moved on to the next girl. Her best friend. To hell with such friends! She was nothing but a whore, trash! They could never understand what really love means.

BEEP. BEEP.

It was her laptop snapping her back to reality. Damn! What is wrong with this program now, the hacker thought while she scribbled something on one sheet of paper followed by anxiously tapping the keys on her laptop. The redhead was so caught up in her work that she didn’t notice that someone was staring at her from across the café.

Tara Maclay, the beautiful and famous film-actress. Tara Maclay, the way her blonde hair bounced on her shoulders, the shapely curves of her sexy body, the deep blue of her eyes and last but not least the breathtaking lopsided grin that would be the death of any woman.Tara Maclay was gay but no one knew it. Her fame had caused her to decide to never to bring it out into the open. Of course her family and close friends knew, but no one other then that.

Tara had been searching for someone for so long, someone who’d love her for who she was, and to accept her as a person and not as a Hollywood Object. Someone to accept her past, and live with her future. She didn't want a simple affair, she wanted a real relationship and not someone who would rush to sell their story to the newspapers at the first chance.

Tara sat at a table with her friends but found her eyes drifting to Willow's table. She was so caught up watching the redhead that she didn't notice her best friend Sally talking to her.

"Earth to Tara!" Sally chanted for the third time.

"Huh?" Tara said absentmindedly. "Did you say something?"

"Tara, are you okay?" Sally asked in concern "You seem kinda, you know... not here."

"Oh." Tara realized what she'd done. "I guess I was just thinking about my new movie..."

"Liar!" Anya exclaimed.

"Excuse me? " Tara looked at her in wide-eyed shock.

"You weren't thinking about your new movie, you were daydreaming about that girl," she said and pointed to Willow. "I don't know why you are even bothering to stare at her. You could never be with her."

"Why not??" Tara retorted.

"She's far too caught up in herself and her own self-importance. Don't you know she's rejected everyone whose tried to ask her out? I imagine she must think herself too gorgeous to waste her time on the rest of us. Not that I think she's gorgeous. I, for one, would never go out with such a rude narcissist! Narcissist!!"

"Anya, for God's sake! " Tara said and look towards Willow "I don't believe she could be rude, or a narcissist. Just look how focused she is on her work. I can see that she's beautiful, but I imagine she's also thoughtful, kind, intelligent..."

"Whoa," exclaimed Sally " you're eyeballing her for the first time from 20 feet away and you can tell all that?"

"Well, I...well.." Tara was searching for a reason to cover herself and failing miserably.

"I'll tell you what, Maclay" Anya bounced up and down like a child who had just gotten her Christmas present, and discovered it was all cash, "I bet you that you couldn't get her to date you for a week. OH!! More then that! I dare you to make her kiss you. In order to win this Tara she must kiss you" She said emphasizing that she expected Willow to intitiate the kiss, and not the other way around.

Oh my God, what is going with Anya today? Tara thought to herself. She knew Anya had a tendency to be very direct, but this was the first time she had seen her friend act quite so brashly.

Her eyes darted to settle once again on Willow. Such a beauty! Tara, look at her body, her hair... An angel, she is simply an angel. I would die to get just one kiss from those luscious lips...

Her thoughts were cut off by the voice of her friend Sally, "Tara you don't have to do it. You know Anya, she just loves to make bets."

" What? " Anya yelled, "There you go defending her again! " She turned to Tara. "Okay, so fine. So I like to gamble a little now and then. But, Tara, for once in your life I dare you to do something that you really want. I can see the way you're looking at her. You could practically be arrested for stalking." Anya let out a dramatic sigh, "But, if you really want to chicken out..."

"I do not," Tara said

"Do to, " Anya deftly replied

"Tara, listent to me: you don't have to do it." Sally said, glaring at Anya.

"C'mon, Tara what do you say?" Asked Anya.

"You got a bet," Tara replied simply, once again returning her gaze to the mysterious redhead.




So there you go. What did you think? Should I keep going with the story? Please let me know.

Not quite as perfect as it was yesterday...

But you never gave up this easily before...

I've read couple of "bet"-fics before (they were non-Buffy, but still), and there's always questions that keeps me hooked (How and when will the other one hear about the bet? What happens after that, quarrels, break-up, making up?). Your story looks very promising, I'm waiting for the next update ;-)

"I don't believe she could be rude, or a narcissist. Just look how focused she is on her work. I can see that she's beautiful, but I imagine she's also thoughtful, kind, intelligent..."

"Whoa," exclaimed Sally " you're eyeballing her for the first time from 20 feet away and you can tell all that?"

That is so like me and my friends; I'm all "Look at her, she's so cute and amazing and kind and...." and my friens just shooks their head with "Hey lil' romeo, you just met her. Or saw her, and your all over her. Earth to Max..."

Previously

"I do not," Tara said

"Do to, " Anya deftly replied

"Tara, listent to me: you don't have to do it." Sally said, glaring at Anya.

"C'mon, Tara what do you say?" Asked Anya.

"You got a bet," Tara replied simply, once again returning her gaze to the mysterious redhead
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 2

It took a little while to register in Sally’s brain what the blonde was saying, since she was still too overwhelmed by Tara’s bold declaration. It wasn't Tara's nature at all; although she was a famous actress; Tara could never overcome her instinctive shyness or pluck up enough courage to ask somebody to be her date.... She was actually daring herself.

" Tara, are you serious? " asked a very shocked Sally while she stared at the blonde in disbelief. " I mean you never ever got the nerve to make such a bold attempt. "

" Way to support a friend " muttered Anya to herself glaring fiercely at Sally.

" Tara, don't get me wrong " continued Sally " I'll be thrilled to bits if you can win her heart but please be careful I don't want to see you heartbroken " knowing how sensitive and easily hurt person Tara is she continued " Because believe me she won't be exactly pleased if she ever knows that she was the subject of a bet "

Tara was oblivious to the deadly glares between her two friends because she was still thinking about Sally's question ' is she serious..... ' In all honesty, the blonde couldn't care less about the bet; all her life she wanted to be loved but she has never really been interested in anyone.....But this redhead seemed to attract Tara in every sense of the word.....And why in the hell she would waste such an opportunity...Here she is sitting at the table, looking adorable and by God very very Sexy.......

" Dead serious " Tara blurted out, with that she grabbed her bag and headed towards Willow's table.

" Go girl " encouraged Anya sticking her tongue out at Sally.

Sally just shook her head and looked at Anya " Really Anya, aren't you concerned about Tara, what if she.... "

" Just stop! " interrupted Anya " Don't you think she's mature enough to make her own choices. Besides Willow Rosenberg is such a sweet person. "

" But you said.....Hey you know her!?! " asked Sally

" Kind of " Anya answered " And what i said about Willow in front of Tara were bunch of lies." Sally looked very confused urging her to continue.

" OK, OK.." said Anya " in case you wonder and you are," smirked Anya " Willow owns the most successful company of Computer Software in this country. Buffy who happens to be Willow's best friend and assistant was my friend in the university. After the graduation Buffy went missing until a few days ago I met her accidentally at the grocery store; so I invited her for a cup of coffee and we chatted. "

" And? " asked Sally.

" Impatient aren't we? " Giggled anya " Well we chatted about so many subjects... university...friends....until she told me that she works for Willow Rosenberg, the sweetest person ever.....Ok, you're going to ask me how did I know that, no? " asked Anya

Sally only nodded, " While we were sipping our coffee, Willow stopped by to talk with Buffy about some meeting. I tell you this girl is a coffee addict...."

" Anya!!!! " Sally said " Not really the point "

" Ok " answered Anya " We chatted together and to my own surprise she wasn't anything like rude or disagreeable instead she was so friendly, sociable, outgoing...... "

" I get it Anya " said Sally " but what i don't is why you have said that she was rude? "

" Well you are so oblivious....Sometimes I wonder how did you manage to graduate! Did you see how Tara was looking at her, how she was daydreaming about her....For God sake we were talking with her for two minutes but nothing could bring her out of her reverie " exclaimed Anya " And to be honest " continued Anya " I find them very compatible, so I said those lies because I was so sure that Tara would be more than happy to prove me wrong "

Sally was speechless unable to utter a single word. " And enough with your questions I want to watch my lovely couple "

" You're unbelievable, " answered a very stunned Sally " Besides they aren't a couple yet!!! "

" Believe me they will be " answered Anya " And very soon..."

-blushes wildly- Yes. I loved it on Extra Flamey. And it's just as good if not better than I remember it. Thank you for liking my story. I'm still not used to the fact that people actually like my writing. I'm always shy, really. It took me seriously a year to open up around this board and start posting stuff about myself, 6 months to even give them my first name. I know, odd but I'm shy.

Willow and Tara will be a couple very soon in this story and I want them to be.
Always intriguing the number of meet-cute scenarios that are available to writers prepared to take up the gauntlet and accept the challenge of presenting the adorable duo in a way which hasn't been done before but, when read, makes you go "aaahhh."
Now, enough with the meeting already, where's the vicarious smoochies?

Part 3


" Wow, i am pooped " Willow was amazed at how tired she was; the last few months have really worn her out, setting up a new computer software company was the best move she ever made. Her life represents a success story, having risen up through the ranks to become America's youngest chief executive of a grand high-tech Corporation.

" You won't rest until you flag all your staff!" a slow smile crossed her face as she remembered the outburst of her best friend Buffy when she told her that the company is going to run some courses for all the personnel to teach them selling and marketing skills.

Willow stretched languidly, covering her mouth with the back of her hand to stifle a yawn. The job is tiring but rewarding; her pictures occupied the covers of the business magazines as the most successful businesswoman who managed to make her first million before she was 22.

Checking the scattered papers on the table, willow took a few sips of her coffee before she continued tapping the keys to her laptop.
" Almost done! " she mumbled happily, knowing that she had only few lines to finish her new program.

The hacker was so wrapped in her thoughts that she wasn't aware that someone was actually speaking to her until she felt a light touch on her shoulder. She looked up to see who broke her chain of thoughts to find herself staring into the deepest blue eyes she'd ever seen.

" I'm sorry, i didn't mean to startle you...I just wanted to ask you if I can sit here." The redhead looked to where the owner of the most amazing eyes was pointing...it was the opposite side of her table!

Oh my god! This is Tara Maclay...Tara Maclay, but she is like really famous! Wow! Okay her new movie won so many prizes and she was the best actress of this year in the Academy Awards festival...Wait! She want to sit here...I mean she'll be sitting face to face with me across this narrow table...Breathe Rosenberg, just breathe...I can't believe my eyes...Hey wake up and for God's sake Willow stop babbling, she might be now wondering if you are lunatic...Willow's eyes went wide as she suddenly realized how silly she must look staring at the blonde with a slightly open mouth; she wanted to reply but no sounds were coming out.

" Hello? Are you ok? " Asked Tara, a concerned frown passing over her face.

" I, uh, that is, yeah, ok, fine..." Willow trailed off cursing her lack of words.

" Are you sure? " the blonde asked again.

Willow looked around only to find that most of the tables were taken as people rushed into the two stories coffee shop after the sudden afternoon downpour; Of course she was so caught up in her work that she didn't notice the soft tapping of the raindrops on the windows of the café.

" Oh! Oh, yeah, I am fine, Sure thing you can sit here" nudging the chair towards the stunning beauty, Willow got up from her chair and extended her hand to the blonde " God where are my manners! I should introduce myself...." noticing her helpless rambling the redhead continued, " I am Willow Rosenberg, in case you are wondering...Ok shutting up now." Willow squirmed with embarrassment.

Tara blushed slightly her face breaking into a smile; the redhead was too cute for words " I am Tara...Um...Tara Maclay" and she moved her hand to meet Willow's.

As soon as their hands met, they felt a jolt of electricity pass through their bodies. Tara's hand was so soft and smooth emanating this wonderful tingling sensation all over Willow's body. The hacker closed her eyes enjoying the sensation...It was all-powerful, dominant yet so gentle.

On the other hand, Tara let herself indulge the feeling of Willow's hand in hers. She focused her own energy, letting it link with the redhead. The blonde felt like she was going to melt, the connection was strong, the hacker's hand felt like heaven, it felt so right and by God she wasn't going to let itgo anytime soon.

Still reeling from the sudden rush of energy, Willow opened her eyes slowly. Oh God! She has power and Beauty,…Beauty, so beautiful! Where did that come from? Remember Willow that there is no time for passion, or romance, no time for love poems and songs, your heart can't undergo another break up, or a crush or even a declaration of love...Don't you forget that you went through hell with Tanya...That cheater! Just work Rosenberg, Work and only work...I can't think she's beautiful...No I can't...Wait, she has a great butt too...Will stop it!

Standing opposite to her, Tara has now a better view of the redhead, she felt her breath caught in her throat. Wow! Great body...most amazing red hair...her eyes...God her emerald eyes...Why I can't stop staring at her tiny little breasts...And those thin, pouty and luscious lips...

Willow started to panic, here she was just having met the blonde, and already ogling and checking her out. Confusion set into her thoughts, she decided to let go of Tara's hand before the actress would leave her in disgust.

Tara felt Willow breaking the connection, looking at her face she found the redhead panicking so she gently squeezed her hand to make her know that she hadn't crossed any line. The hacker sighed in relief and mouthed ' I am sorry ' as she caught Tara's eyes. She realized that she had overstepped her limits by staring into her eyes, her chest, her breasts...even not wanting to let go her hand! I must be some crazy maniac the redhead thought to herself. Hearing her apology, Tara had to let her know she hadn't done anything wrong. " It's Ok " she replied. Willow smiled at Tara's assurance; the blonde wasn't angry or irritated with her.

The two girls sat down on their respective chairs not knowing what to do next. They were both still experiencing the weird yet so lovable sensation that surged through their bodies. All these feelings were perplexing Willow; she had never ever felt like this before. They sat there silently, alternating glances between the table, the floor and the scattered papers on the table.

Looking at her virtually empty cup of coffee, Willow grumbled " Oh! I need my coffee goodness, wanna my caffeine energy."

Rescued from her own lusty thoughts about a certain redhead, Tara heard Willow mumbling something about coffee. She glanced up at the hacker with a warm smile and tried so hard not to stifle a giggle. The redhead was so adorable; she already liked her to pieces.

" Do you always speak to yourself? " asked a slightly amused blonde.

They looked at each other and both started giggling nervously, when their laughter subsided Willow spoke " Well you see, i am such a coffee addict...Can't live or work without getting my share everyday. I tell you those caffeine grains are such a mercy, they help me concentrate and they do really keep me awake...You know these few months were such a blur, setting up a new company and all. Hence I strive for the coffee goodness...See I come here almost everyday...It's not like I don't have a life or something, but I really like this place...It is so cozy, and...and I am babbling...You should stop me when I babble!" Willow hated herself when she babbled and talking to Tara made the babbling of the redhead even worse.

" Wow! " exclaimed Tara " so many words in a single breath! That's a lot to take in " The blonde smiled at Willow " and why should i stop you, it's really cute! "

" Really? " asked Willow her grin widening.

" Really " the actress nodded.

" Well thank you, you should tell that to my friend Buffy, she tend to run away when i begin to babble " said Willow as she rolled her eyes and began to laugh joined by Tara.

My God, Willow is simply adorable; she is a very sweet person, I can't resist her charming smile. She have a marvelously engaging personality, nobody made me laugh like this before...Tara's chain of thoughts were cut by the redhead's voice " So back to the coffee goodness, I wanna have a refill. Can i get you a cup of coffee too?"

Oh! She wants to treat me, how sweet of her. She is the nicest person I have ever met..." Besides," continued the redhead " It is not cool to sip coffee alone, and it is always fun to have someone to share a cup of coffee with " Among other things, added Willow to herself. Although that her mind was screaming at her to stop with the flirting but she just couldn't help it. The blonde was looking so beautiful and very sexy so how on earth she could contain herself...

The tender and flirtatious undertone in Willow's voice aroused Tara completely, she had never been affected in her whole life like this. " Ok " smiled the blonde " If you put it this way I guess I have no choice."

" Great " Willow replied her face brightening.
While the waiter was bringing their coffees, Willow packed away her laptop and began gathering her scattered papers in order to make room on the narrow table.

" Tara Maclay right?" A womanly voice came from behind the blonde.

" Yes " the actress, said looking at the newcomer.

" My name is Sandy and I am a big fan of yours," the girl said, " I was wondering if i could get a picture of you and your autograph "

" Sure " replied Tara.

Willow sat watching Tara signing her autograph, everything about her seemed so gentle, from the friendly smile dancing at the corners of her mouth to the movement of her hand gliding across the paper. When she thought nothing could divert her attention from the blonde, the fan's voice snapped her back to reality " Please miss, can you take the picture for me and miss Tara?"

" Of course " said willow taking the camera from the girl's hand.
Zooming the lens of the camera, the redhead brought only Tara to the frame of the picture. Wow! So gorgeous, so elegant...My God! Her smile is killing me; her lips so full, so luscious...

" Um...miss we are ready " said the patient girl waiting the daydreaming hacker to take the picture.

" Oh! ok...and here we go " Willow handed the camera back to the girl who mumbled her thanks before leaving them alone.

Taking a sip from her cup of coffee Willow said, " Wow! She is a big fan of yours "

" Yes, fans are the best part of our business " the blonde let out a warm smile.
Willow smiled back " So was it hard to become a high-flying actress?"

" Yes, you can say that, you see I've always wanted to be an actress, ever since i was young " Tara was ecstatic that her and Willow were getting along so well " my first visit to the Globe theater made me all the more determined to go on the stage and after starring in several successful plays, i made my first Hollywood film"

" Yes!" exclaimed the redhead " and now you are one of America's rising stars and most talked about TV actress."

" Thank you " Tara blushed deeply at Willow's compliment.

" Miss Maclay?" said a guy standing beside the table. Oh No! This isn't happening...not again...what is wrong with people today I need my Willow time...How I am supposed to know her better if people keep up on showing like this?...Great, just great... Tara thought to herself in frustration.

" Yes, this is me " The blonde finally voiced.

" Well, my name is Ted. Can you join me for a cup of coffee, my table is just over there" the young man pointed to where the table was.

" Thank you Ted for your invitation, but i have some company " replied Tara politely as she pointed to the hacker.

The guy looked at the redhead then at Tara " Well, I don't really care if you have company or no, and I am not asking you, I am telling you!"

" What?" asked a very terrified actress not knowing how to deal with him without making a scene? As much as she loved her work, as mush as she hated crazed celebrities fans who restricted her movements, her actions and even her life. She can't go anywhere or be herself...Sometimes she just wished to return to the young free girl that she used to be.

Oh no! She is in trouble...got to help her...Think Rosenberg think...I've got to find a way without making this raving lunatic go round the bend...What a nerve! I just can't believe what I heard...

Keeping her voice down the redhead spoke to Ted " Sir, if I were you I would stop annoying Miss Maclay before you got into trouble with the police" The man seemed to be very angry now. " You see " continued Willow " I am a lawyer and I work in the biggest law firm in this state, not to mention my high-profile acquaintances who would be more then happy to help me throw you in jail within minutes so I would back down if I were you "

The guy was standing dumbfounded not knowing what to do next, Should he just go back to his table or apologize to the ladies? " I...I am ...sorry...I" Ted's attempts to apologize simply irritated the redhead even more, he terrified and panicked the blonde, and for Willow he crosses some red serious lines." Sir, just drop it!" with that the man left them alone.

The hacker looked at Tara to find her lost in deep thoughts and very frightened. Quickly she grabbed her hands and squeezed them lightly. "Hey, are you ok?" asked a very concerned redhead

Relieved by Willow's presence the blonde smile weakly " I am fine, thanks willow...thanks for everything"

" It's okay, you don't have to thank me, anyone in my place would do the same" replied Willow.
" No, not anyone!" exclaimed Tara " I mean no one would get himself in trouble just to defend another person...I mean it willow thank you very much"

" You're welcome " answered the redhead " And please don't be upset, he is just a real nutcase" Missing Tara's smile terribly and in attempt to brighten up the mood she asked lifting up her eyebrows" So how did you find the performance of your lawyer, not bad, eh?"

" Excellent actually" the blonde laughed and continued " so tell me are you a lawyer or a great actress?"

Willow laughed, " You have to admit it, I've got talent"
They both dissolved into fits of laughter. " Sure, Sure " said Tara as their giggles subsided " Wow! I have never laughed like this before"

" Me neither, you know working with computers all day isn't exactly the best way of socializing...I miss company, you know someone to talk to..."said Willow as she looked away cursing her monotonous and lonely life.

" Oh Willow!" Tara looked at the redhead hopefully wishing that she would accept her request " I miss also company, you see I am here on a holiday I gave myself three months because I needed it badly to get away from my busy life...so I was wondering if you can show me around LA ... so what do you say?"

" I'll be honored to be your guide" Willow smiled at Tara.
"Great!" exclaimed Tara as she began rummaging through her bag for a pen and paper, she scribbled her name and address on a page of her notebook." Here" she said as she handed the paper to Willow " You can call me anytime...Hey why don't you come tomorrow for dinner at my place, it will be a thank you dinner from me to you for saving me from a total embarrassment because of that crazed fan. And, I will not take no for answer."

" Well if I don't have any other option, then I guess I'll be there" Willow grinned.
" Great " Tara smiled at the redhead " is seven okay?"
" Seven will be fine" replied Willow.

Glancing briefly at her watch, willow realized that she must leave " Oh hasn't the afternoon passed so quickly?" asked a surprised redhead.
"Yes, times flies when you're having fun" answered the blonde.
" Totally right" Willow smiled at Tara " so I should be going like now, see you tomorrow then "

" Yes, tomorrow " replied a grinning blonde.
" Bye " said the redhead as she got up ready to leave.
" Bye Willow "

Turning back to the stairs, Willow made her way out into the softly falling rain. As she walked out Tara couldn't help but watch the redhead through the window of the coffee shop making her way across the street to her car. Wow! She is so hot...so sexy...I am telling you Tara Maclay this girl is going to be your death...

So you found out today your life's not the same...
Not quite as perfect as it was yesterday...
And I know it hurts and I know you feel torn...
But you never gave up this easily before...
So why do you choose today to give it all away.......

Okey, what would be the right expression...Hmm...Oh, now I remember: Squee!!

Previously

" Yes, tomorrow " replied a grinning blonde.
" Bye " said the redhead as she got up ready to leave.
" Bye Willow "

Turning back to the stairs, Willow made her way out into the softly falling rain. As she walked out Tara couldn't help but watch the redhead through the window of the coffee shop making her way across the street to her car. Wow! She is so hot...so sexy...I am telling you Tara Maclay this girl is going to be your death...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 4

Looking out the window of the coffee shop, Tara watched Willow's car turning the corner and slowly disappearing from view. She sat back in her chair and closed her eyes trying to reflect on the friendly conversation she'd had with the redhead. The thoughts and feelings she was having for Willow weren't exactly the normal friendship-type feelings one would have for an ordinary friend. It was a real dilemma. Was she begining to fall for the redhead or it was an infatuation ? Wait a second...Fall for Willow? Where did that come from? Maybe it is just an infatuation...It began today and it will be over soon...Yes it should be like that...

An infatuation!!! No way, how could she be infatuated with Willow when she was experiencing all these new weird syndromes...The sweaty palms, the knot in her stomach, the unexpected dryness of her mouth and the loud beating of her heart were all indicating that she was developing a crushon Willow and to be precise it was an instant one.

She was obviously attracted to her and can't ignore her heart or deny those feelings surging within her. It is true that she denied herself all the romance in her effort to make a name for herself as a rising star in the world of entertainment business; but Tara never regretted turning down any possible relationship because she wanted to love and be loved in return. She never expected to be swept off her feet by anyone and from the first time. But Willow wasn't anyone, she is definitely someone special and both they seemed to hit it off from the start.

Everything about the redhead captivated Tara; she took her heart in seconds! What did she like about her ? Well, the list could run on for miles...The sparkle in her eyes, the sound of her voice, the kindness in her smile, the power in her face and that magic in her touch...She could go on like this for days. Oh God! I think i am falling for these gorgeous emarald eyes for real!...I can't can I? I've just met her...And...

Tara was trying to sort out her feelings when she nearly jumped out of her skin as Anya smacked her palms on the table to get the blonde's attention.

" Well Finally! I've been calling your name for the past five minutes! Now you are really freaking me out! " Anya grumbled slightly " You've been daydreaming about the redhead again, haven't you? Yes of course, cause you haven't been listening at all! "

Tara snapped back to reality blushing straight up to her scalp, " What, huh, Anya...Sally...Guys what is the problem? " The blond was fully aware that she was caught off guard by their sudden appearance and to be honest Anya wasn't going to let her off the hook that easily.
" And...And I wasn't daydreaming about Willow...I was just resting my eyes " She trailed off.

" Right! And I am Madonna! " Leaning on the table, Anya's hazel eyes bored into the blonde's blue ones " Tara, you were eyeing her up all the time! I saw you! "

" Well...Well... How did you see me when you were sitting so far away from our table? " asked a very stunned Tara " You must have incredible good eyesight! "

Anya couldn't help herself laughing at the blonde's shocked face " Certainly not agood eyesight...Oh Tara you must be blind as a bat or you were so captivated by the girl that you didn't notice me passing near your table once in a while "

" What? " her eyes widening as she realized that the brunette was spying on them and by God Tara hated such actions.

Feeling the shift in the blonde's mood, Sally had to prevent her friends from bickering about this issue. She knew that Tara always wanted people to respect her privacy but it was hopeless. Knowing how famous she is, the actress couldn't seem to get a rest from the intrusion in her private life. She was always shadowed by journalists and now she is like now one of the best-loved personalities in the columns of Fleet Street Newspapers and Magazines. She couldn't
do anything, if ever she went out for coffee or whatever with one of her friend, they were immediately labeled as a couple! It was so frustrating...She couldn't even breath...She is like a fugitive...She wanted so badly to regain privacy in her life, so she came to LA to spend her holiday...And here her friend...Anya...was acting like one of the persons that Tara resents the most...She was driving the blonde up the wall...

" Um...Tara...Anya was trying...To see if you two were getting along...You know...You and Willow..." Sally finally voiced.

" Well..." Anya knew that she had crossed a line but she didn't do it deliberately...She wanted to see if her new couple-to-be were having fun and she was even surprised at how well the two of them hit it off " in order to see you missy I had to order like twenty cups of coffee and go to the bathroom every five minutes...I tell you I peed the Niagara Falls!"

" Ewwwwwww!!!! " Tara and Sally said in unison.

Anya just huffed, a slight pout on her face " I was doing some major business out there and all you could say Ewwwwwwwww!!!! My stomach was screaming for mercy...For heaven's sake i was sacrificing my whole system!!! "

Tara and Sally looked at each other and dissolved into fits of laughter. When their giggles subsided, Anya asked Tara " Still mad at me? "

" No, I'll let you off this time, but don't do it again. Okay? " The blonde demanded in all seriousness.

" Okay," Anya bounced up and now with excitement, " So tell me...How was she? Did you like her? Did she like you? Will you see her soon? I mean did she ask you out or you asked her? Did..."

" Stop! " Tara looked at Anya willing to torture her " Are you fully expecting me to answer all these questions? " Anya nodded her head vigorously. The actress smirked and continued " Not now, may be later..."

" Oh! Come on Tara! You've got to tell us...We are your friends...Your remember...Sally...Anya..."Sally responded in a pleading voice.

" Yes! were are the best buddies ever " Chimed in Anya.

Tara looked at her friend chuckling with delight, "I know that, of course I'll tell you on our way home but now I need to tell you something really important " Tara had to let her friendsknow that she won't go any further with this relationship on the basis of a bet, not after she liked the redhead...She cared about Willow so much...The connection she felt was much stronger than anything she had ever felt before...She wanted to set her heart free from any worries or troubles...She didn't want to mishandle her relationship with the redhead or even cause her pain
'I'll protect you Willow, even if that meant hurting myself' The blonde-haired goddess vowed to herself.

"I can't continue with Willow...I..." Tara wanted to continue her sentence but Anya interrupted her " Oh No! Don't give up now! You look so cute together...Give yourself a chance of finding someone to love...Don't..."

" Anya! " Tara warned then she continued softly " Please let me continue."

" Go ahead." Anya replied fearing that the blonde would back out of this potential relation with the redhead ' Come on Tara, not after this effort i made to push you to go and talk to her'The brunette practically whined to herself.

Looking hopefully at her friends the blonde spoke again " You see...I am REALLY attracted to her and I should be truthful with you about this bet thing...I really...really...want to seethis relation work out...I hope you're understanding me...I've never accepted bets...But i don'tknow what had possesses me to be so bold and accept it...I assure you that i didn't do it on purpose...But...But only because i am so interested in her..."

" You are? " Sally and Anya asked in unison.

" I am " the blonde admitted happily.

"Wow!" Sally looked at Tara with great contentment " I am so happy for you...I mean never saw you talking like this before ...Your face was shining when you were talking about her...And your eyes...God your eyes were sparkling reflecting the happiness inside you..."

" Looks like you've got it bad, Tara" Anya said smirking at the blonde " Well, it is about time...Tara you deserve to be happy...Just go for it girl...and by the way I didn't think fora minute that you would intentionally hurt somebody's feelings cause you are the most caring person I've ever met."

Touched by her friends sincere encouragements and supports, the blonde mumbled her thanks and appreciations. Looking at the brunette, Tara recalled Anya's harsh words about Willow even though that she didn't know her...she began wondering why Anya acted like this in front of herand since she knows that she won't hurt anyone why did she motivate her to accept the bet?
"Anya, did you plan all of this? I mean the bet..." The blonde asked while she raised one ofher eyebrows.

"No!" Anya exclaimed "Tara, I all honesty, I really played it by ear...nothing had been well-thought-out or thoroughly prepared...You see I've met Willow few days ago...I tell you she is the sweetest person ever existed...so when I saw you daydreaming about her I thought why shouldn't I encourage you to go and talk to her..."

" Oh!" the blonde looked at Anya surprised " You know her? Then why you didn't introduce me to Willow before? Hey!!!!!!!!! I wanna every single detail about her…everything you know...Don't..."

" My friend, I'll tell you but not now, maybe on our way home!" Anya laughed out loud.
"You meanie!" Tara eyed up the brunette, fully aware that Anya was playing her own game. " Come on we should be going home " Tara said in a rush as she got up leaving her friends behind...
Actually she wanted to get home as soon as quickly because she would be alone doing nothing except thinking about her new potential crush or even maybe love.?

Anya and Sally looked at each other surprised, and then quickly they grabbed their bags and followed Tara.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well at least I am in one peace" Willow gratefully sank into the armchair and kicked off her shoes. Driving back home could have ended in a disastrous way...the redhead were about to crash into a bus shelter because her mind kept wandering about a certain blonde-haired goddess...She couldn't help herself...

" Oh God! What am I going to do? " She groaned as she got up and took off for the kitchen to quench her thirst. After splitting up with Tanya, the hacker didn't trust anybody...Actually she didn't want to...But with Tara, that blonde angel, everything seemed to change...With just one look she warmed her lonely soul and with one touch she was able to trust and believe again...

Suddenly she realized that she had left Tara alone in the coffee shop with that lunatic fan. She was dead worried...What if he annoyed her another time or worse stalked her to find out where she lives and maybe hurt her...Oh NO! This can't happen...Right?...Oh god! Don't let anything happen to her cause i could never ever forgive myself...I swear if he touches her I'll torture him and kill him...Why do i feel so protective?...Maybe it is the human nature...Yes of course it is...it is naturally to worry about others when they are in trouble...

" i need to so something, i mean I can't sleep wondering if she is okay or not." said Willow pacing up and down the room...Think Rosenberg think you should find a solution now...You're not the brainy-type gal for nothing...Oh! her phone number...Yes I should call her...And tell her what exactly...That you are an actual stupid with a vivid imagination thinking of some very frightening things involving her...Okay...No phone call...Just relax and you'll see you that everything is actually going to be fine...

Lying down on the bed, the redhead closed her eyes trying to loosen up and get away from herterrifying thoughts. " I am being paranoid, that's all " she tried to convince herself. But she couldn't shake off that mingling worry surging inside her. All of a sudden Willow went as white as a sheer when she pictured the blonde standing in the doorway, scared, trembling and hidingfrom the man who had been following her.

Getting up from bed and trembling with fear, willow searched frantically for Tara's phone number.' To hell if I sound like a stalker, I just wanna hear her voice and be sure that she is safe' she mumbled to herself as she raced to the phone and quickly dialed the number.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tara was staring out the window of her bedroom into the sky, the stars seemed to move, into the shape of Willow's face looking down at her with that little cute smile that she likes to see.
Willow...Tara's smile widened as she thought of the hacker's name. Oh Willow! I thought Love was just a mirage of mind, it's an illusion, it's fake, impossible to find. But when I met you,i began to see, that love is real, and exists in me. With one look of your breathtaking eyes you
revealed the deepest emotions and feelings I've kept inside of me for so long. Feeling i didn't even suspect to be. I long to hold you and feel your sweet caress. My heart had known only emptiness until you came and filled it to overflowing with you jovial ways. Your sense of humor has turned my frown into a smile. I hope that the miles between us will disappear one day and we will have each other always...

The blonde was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't hear the ringing of the phone so the answering machine picked up " This is Tara Maclay, I am not home right now, You can leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can, Thanks."

"Tara, hey it's willow." Tara nearly fainted when she heard Willow's smooth voice filling the room. she quickly grabbed the phone " Hello ? "

" Hello? Tara, I thought you were out..."
" Oh! no I am home...home sweet home..." Tara replied nervously
" Um...Tara..." Willow's voice held a twinge of worrisome and Tara didn't fail to pick it up
" What is it willow, are you okay? "


" I am fine...Actually I was wondering if you are okay..." Tara was taken aback by the redhead's response...Why was she assuming that in the first place?
" Yes I am fine, great even...Why are you asking? What's wrong willow?"
" Well you see, I am such a stupid person," Tara wanted to tell her that she is nothing like that but Willow's rambling didn't permit her " I've should stayed with you till you get to your car since that crazed fan still were in the café...But I didn't cause I was in a hurry to get home...and I was worried about you....You know....What if he stalked you...And...And..."

Tara was overwhelmed by Willow's words.'She was Worried about me. She cares. She really does. Oh! How sweet of her...My God! i can't let her think that way ....She didn't do anything wrong after all i was with Anya and Sally...Got to stop her...

" Willow, " Tara said softly " I am so touched, you are such a sweetheart. Thanks for your concern and please don't call yourself stupid, You are the sweetest person ever. I am so grateful for your call, It is so thoughtful " Tara could swore that she felt Willow blushing heavily.

" Thanks," Willow replied shyly " And now i have to go...Got to sleep...I am so glad that you're fine"
" Thanks for your concern " The blonde answered sincerely " See you tomorrow and Sweet dreams "
" Yes...Tomorrow...sweet dreams to you too " Willow said as she hang up.

Tara was ecstatic...The redhead is the most caring person she'd ever met. No one cared about herlike she did...Oh Willow if you carry on like this I won't be able to stop myself falling in love with you...I hope that one day you'll be mine and only mine...And I wish that day will arrive soon...Like tomorrow...Oh! Tomorrow.... I've got to see her again, I must be so lucky to have her in my life.

Suddenly she couldn't wait to get in bed and fall asleep. The soon she slept, the sooner it would be tomorrow and she would see Willow again......This day is definitely the Beginning of something big in Willow's and Tara's life.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sighing wearily, Willow began her routine of getting ready to bed. Grabbing her pj's she went into the bathroom to take a shower. She desperately needed a nice hot shower after the stressful and tense moments she went through. The redhead was living a terrible inner battle.She found herself in a struggle to hide her true feeling about Tara. She liked the blonde and wanted to start a whole new chapter of her life with her but her own insecurities seemed to hold her back and here she was under the hot stream of water crying herself out as she spoke to an imaginary blonde

'what kind of magic did you use on me? Why now...? Can i trust you Tara to take my pain away? Can you make my soul sing again? Can you keep me safe? Oh Tara, i want so much to bare my soul so you can cure my heart from the unhappiness that settled within...God i wish i could but I am afraid...afraid that if I gave you my heart and you broke it I won't be able to live again...It will simply destroy me...

After minutes of indulging herself in crying, she relaxed and the sobs began to slow down. Shefinished her bath and went to dry her hair. Oh god! I am so pathetic Willow thought to herself I need to keep my feelings inside me, never let them out...This is something I am not ready for or prepared to let it happen...I have to watch after my heart...She will only be a friend...Just a friend...

" I am so exhausted, I need a good night's sleep "The redhead numbled as she went to bed' you'll be fine Willow...nothing to worry about...You can prove it tomorrow to yourself...You won't have any feelings for her...I won't fall in love...I won't open myself to all kinds of pain...I'll fight it...fight it...' Being physically and emotionally tired, Willow quickly fell into a deep untroubled sleep.

So you found out today your life's not the same...
Not quite as perfect as it was yesterday...
And I know it hurts and I know you feel torn...
But you never gave up this easily before...
So why do you choose today to give it all away.......
She's my angel love

*jumps around* Whii, update!
Ahem, anyway....Tara is just falling so hard. And our sweet and extra-caring (insert one big "aww" here) Willow is too. I just hope she could trust that Tara won't hurt her purposely. Like lyrics from Rent's 'Another Day": "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss"..."Give into love or live in fear". It's not healthy, wise or usually just won't work when you try not to fall for someone.
Okey, maybe I'm not the one to talk about trying to trust someone....

Part 5

" Oh Lord! " Tara was feeling jittery at the prospect of seeing the object of her desire in her apartment " Maybe I should have a drink to calm my nerves " she said to herself as she went to grab a glass.
" Yes...This is much better " The blonde was sipping a Martini when the doorbell rang. She nearly spat out the alcoholic beverage out of her mouth. Putting the glass down she rushed to open the door and found a very stunning redhead standing in front of her.

" Hey Willow, " said the actress breathlessly " Come in "
" Thanks...I am sorry I am late..." replied Willow blushing heavily as she entered and closed the door behind her.
" Oh! It is ok...You are here now and that what it really matters, isn't it? "Tara immediately picked up Willow's hand to reassure her.
" Yes it is " answered the redhead as she stared into the deep blue sea in the blonde's eyes.

Tara slowly began to lean in closer and closer to willow until both sets of lips were pressed together ever so lightly. She pulled back again and looked at Willow's face to see if there were signs of rejection or disgust but they weren't any. With a trembling hand, she reached out to tuck the red lock of the hacker's hair behind her ear.
" I've wanted to do this from the first moment I saw you " she admitted in awe.

This time willow leaned in and captured Tara's lips with her own. The blonde lips were so soft and so sexy. As Tara began moving her lips against hers Willow felt like she was floating on air. She couldn't stop herself from moaning against the blonde's lips. Her hands were moving now into their own accord to cup Tara's face, then slowly and carefully she brought them up to run her fingers through the blonde's silky hair and gently massage her scalp. They stayed like this for minutes opening and closing their lips against each other.

Tara was so so dizzy; she felt her heart exploding in her chest. This was by far the most exhilarating experience of her life. The woman's lips against her caused her whole body to shiver uncontrollably...Her legs had already gone numb...And her breathing was coming in gasps...The redhead's lips were so tasty and delicious...They were a little like strawberry flavored. She brought her hands up and encircled them around Willow's neck...She have always fantasized about the sensations of their kiss but it was nothing compared to what she is feeling now...Her hands were now working frantically their way up and down the redhead's back.

As Willow's tongue continued to tease her luscious bottom lip begging for entrance, Tara felt the urgent need to deepen their kisses. She wanted to feel Willow's tongue inside her mouth. Pressing the redhead against the wall she complied happily the redhead's plea as she pulled away slightly to make room for herself to open her mouth wide.
Hungrily the hacker thrusted her tongue into the actress mouth who moaned loudly overwhelmed by the stimulation. Willow sucked Tara's tongue for minutes while the blonde arched her back in response in order to release the throbbing sensation between her legs. Both they were moaning loudly not knowing if they were capable to remain standing for so long.

Willow's tongue was now swirling around the blonde's and Tara found herself mimicking the hacker's actions as she circled her own tongue around her lover, so that their tongues were rolling against each other with passion and great desire. Wanting Tara to feel the same sensation Willow began pushing harder at the actress tongue to guide them out of her mouth and transfer the duel into Tara's. The blonde opened her mouth wider and sucked greedily Willow's tongue as soon as it entered her mouth.
The quick movement elicited a loud moan from her redhead. They could feel their breasts crushing together and their nipples hardening...Their bodies seemed to fit together perfectly like two pieces of a puzzle. After minutes of playing with the redhead's captive tongue Tara finally released her hold on it and the hacker took that moment to slowly pull their lips apart.

" This was..." the redhead wrapped her arms around Tara panting " Wow "
" Very Wow " Tara agreed giggling.
" You feel so good..." Murmured Willow as she nuzzled her lips against Tara's neck leaving a trail of hot wet kisses.
" Baby...Mmmmmm...Can we take this to b...bed...Oh God!...I am not sure...If...I can stand anymore " Tara responded with a moan of her own when Willow began sucking at her pulse point.
" I know darling " The redhead whispered, " Let's go! Lead the way ".

Quickly they made their way to Tara's bedroom. As soon as they were near the bed Willow grabbed the blonde's hand and stopped her.
" What ? " Asked the actress puzzled " You don't want..." She was cut off by Willow's lips on her " Sweetie I want you more than anything in this world but can I undress you?..."
Tara swallowed hard. She wanted to reply so badly but she couldn't utter a single word. After several seconds of aching wait for the redhead Tara finally found her voice that was almost like a gentle whisper " undress me ! ".

The hacker shivered at the blonde's sensual words causing the desire that surged within her body to increase twenty times more. In attempt to ease this urgency she crushed their lips tightly together for a matter of seconds before pulling away. Slowly she reached for Tara's shirt pulling the material free...There was no bra...She cupped Tara's breasts in her hands as she leaned to leave again a quick kiss on the blonde's trembling lips. She couldn't stop herself from kissing tara...She missed the contact of their lips too much. Pulling away she squeezed Tara's breasts forcefully. The blonde couldn't help but gasp and arch her back as she felt her own arousal building.

Slowly Willow removed her hands to bring them to Tara's jeans. She removed it with the panties in one quick move cause the blonde's legs were threatening to buckle down at any moment. Looking at Tara's face she saw the pure hunger and arousal in her dilated blue eyes. Pushing her on the bed she settled in between the actress legs and started kissing her inner tights breathing in the scent of her lover's clit. Tara gasped when she felt Willow blew softly at the auburn blonde curls that were soaked with her own juices...

" Oh my...Oh my...Please baby...Don't...Don't...tease me..." Tara panted heavily. When she looked up Willow's legs trembled at the sight in front of her...Here was Tara wanting and needing her...In fact begging her to make her hers forever and all she was doing was just teasing her woman. Quickly she lowered her head between Tara's legs and began sucking and nibbling at her clit with her tongue.

" Oooooohhhh...Oh,Oh, Will...Baby...Don't stop..." The blonde said crying as she began grinding her hips against Willow's mouth.
" Mmmmmm...Will need you now " Tara gasped as she reached down, running her hands through Willow's red hair guiding her up to her awaiting lips...The kiss was like fire ignited by Tara's deep passion within her core...They began to wrestle with their tongue like they never did before. Pulling away the redhead dropped her head slightly and trailed several hot and gentle kisses along Tara's right breast while the fingers of her left hand were massaging the blonde's mound, squeezing her hard numb. Then she brought her mouth to the blonde's breast sucking harder rhythmically. Tara was squirming like crazy under Willow her hands clutched at the sheets of the bed.

" Please baby...I want you inside me...n...now " Wanting to ease her blonde's frustration, the redhead lowered her head to become face to face with Tara's swollen lips, then she slipped one finger, who was now moving and slipping easily, inside the warmth of the blonde's body.
" Oh baby, you're so wet " Willow said as she stretched up and captured one of Tara's breast in her palm, her finger still thrusting Tara's clit gently at first and then faster and faster.
Each of the redhead's thrust was accompanied by a soft sob of Tara. The blonde felt she couldn't take it anymore. She needed to release the quick throbbing between her legs. She was grinding her hips rocking backwards and forwards trying to create a rhythm.
" Mmmmmmm....B.....Baby...Don't...Don't stop..." Willow added two fingers and tipped them up to find the blonde's secret spot.
" Baby...faster...faster...I am coming...Coming..."

Tara awoke with a start panting and sweating like an athlete after a long tiring marathon. " Oh no! It was a dream " She groaned in frustration " But it was a wonderful, beautiful and amazing one. Oh God! What a dream! She made me squirm like a crazy! And she left me unsatisfied too! But I guarantee that she will never do that in the future " .
The covers were plastered to her naked body. Looking at the clock to her right she squeaked
" I am late I've got to move and quickly." Her feet were so tangled in the sheets, due to her frantic movements when she was dreaming, so instead of standing up she met only the floor with a loud thump " OOOuuuuuccchhhh...That hurts " She whined painfully.
Moving the sheet from around her legs the blonde grabbed some clean clothes and run to take a cold shower.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" She have the face and the body of a goddess! " Exclaimed a very frustrated Willow. She was upset with herself because the blonde was always on her mind. " I can't get her out of here! " she said as she tapped her forehead. " I know that she is gorgeous, but i can't fall for her, not now...No I can't afford to have a soft spot for her...Really Rosenberg you've got a one-track mind! What on earth makes you think she's interested in you in the first place? "

" This not so cool...Get your head back to your work..." Willow was trying to focus but it was useless. It was the first time she'd experienced such lacking of concentration; in fact she was trying to pull out all the stops for her mind to stop wandering about the blonde-haired goddess but all her attempts were unsuccessful.

" What should I do? " she continued whining " I mean I am obviously attracted to her...I care for her...I want her to be mine...WHAT???...Get a grip Willow...You can't give up now...No I can't...Why I am like this?...Maybe because i am so scared...But of what?...You know damn well why Willow...Oh God! I'm trying to be strong and be positive yet I m still lost in the middle...I'm terrified if I gave her my love that one day I'll find it vanishing like a wind that suddenly blows..."

Much to her annoyance, she found out that her laptop also stopped working " Great " she groaned almost exasperated as she dropped her head to her desk, banging it repeatedly.

" Will...Oh GOD, are you okay? " asked a very concerned Buffy as she shut the door of Willow's office behind her.

" I am fine Buffy...very fine " the redhead answered without looking up " And please would you mind knocking before you come in? "

" Well, i did...and several times...But you were so caught up in smacking your head against the desk, that you didn't hear me! " came a very sarcastic voice.

The hacker raised her head and looked at the blonde " Sorry Buffy, I...I am just upset with myself...I feel so lost...Buffy I am afraid..." her hands were shaking and she was on the verge of tears. She couldn't speak anymore. She needed badly the help of her best friend.

Throwing the file that she was holding, the petite blonde raced to the other side of the desk. Kneeling down in front of Willow's chair, she reached for the hacker's hands and squeezed them " Will, What's wrong?...Please Willow talk to me. Why are you afraid? I swear if someone caused you pain I'll kick her damn ass!...Tell me Willow...I am your best friend I wanna help you " Pleaded Buffy.

" I've met...met...s...Someone...Yesterday " Willow managed somehow to reply because her bottom lip was trembling terribly.
" And? " Buffy urged her to continue not quite understanding what caused her friend to be afraid when she only met someone.

" I mean when I saw her, I was struck dumb...Oh! Buffy she is so gorgeous...I can't stop thinking about her...She is so...so...different...Just sitting with her made me feel so special...but..." the redhead hesitated before she continued " But i am afraid..."

" What do you mean?...Afraid of what? " asked a very puzzled Buffy.
" I guess I am afraid of opening myself up, You know my last relationship wasn't exactly a great success...I can't allow myself to be hurt again...If I face another failure, I am not sure if I could ever endure the pain, It will simply end my life..." Willow stopped talking, as she looked away tears streaming down her face.

" Will, look at me " she said as the hacker turned her head and looked straight in Buffy's eyes " From you description, I can tell that she is a nice, beautiful woman, plus you can't just keep worrying that every single woman is going to hurt you like Tanya did! "

Willow tensed when she heard the name of her ex-girlfriend " Will...You've got to try...You need to take a risk in order to find true love...And if you don't do that you will be alone for the rest of your life...You don't want to do that do you? " the redhead shook her head " No, buffy..no '

" Good " Buffy reached over to wipe the tears away from her friend's face " Will since I've met you I've always considered you a hopeless romantic do you know why? " She looked at Buffy not really understanding her words.
The petite blonde smiled " You see real lovers are always hopeless romantics. They cannot be otherwise and you are one of them...A hopeless romantic is someone who just won't give up, who in spite of the pain, heartache and scars, is willing to pay the price of love. To be a hopeless romantic one has to be able to live with a broken heart and not lose faith in love..."

Looking at Willow with a wide grin she cupped her chin and continued, " It's a strange term, "hopeless romantic", because, of course, hopeless romantics never lose hope, no matter how hopeless the situation. Hopeless romantics are inevitably hopeless idealist too. They deeply and passionately love the world and believe others must somewhere in themselves love the world in just that same way and so want it to be a better place..."
Buffy sighed and closed her eyes, when she opened them again she searched her friend's emerald orbs " Will, remember what you've always said to me...Because I love There is an invisible way across the sky. Because I love there is a river flowing will nightlong. Because I love All night long the river flows into my sleep, Ten thousand things are sleeping in my arms, and sleeping wake; and flowing out at rest..."

Willow tried to continue " No wonder we are terrified of it, scared by it and scarred by it when so much depends on love. But the scars of love are badges of honor, by which other lovers can know us as fellow travelers in the way of love. Most of us are afraid that the scars left by our initiations into the way of love with right and others of. We learn to hide from love. We shrink from that which we most need. But those scars are what we are to be known by. How can we find love if we hide our badges of identity? "

Quickly she embraced Buffy, her arms wrapped around the blonde's shoulder " Thanks Buffy..." Willow closed her eyes tightening her grip around her friend.
Giving the redhead a final squeeze before she pulled away pushing herself up " You're welcome...I am glad that I helped...By the way do i know that woman who took my friend's heart so quickly? She asked wiggling her eyebrows.

Willow couldn't stop herself from stifling a giggle when she looked at Buffy's face knowing that after she will hear the name of that mysterious woman she will be shocked as she had never been in her entire life " Um...She is Tara...Tara Maclay..."
" What? " exclaimed the petite blonde " Tara as in Tara the actress? " Willow nodded quickly
" Will, You've got to be kidding...I can't believe it...Oh my god....Oh my god..."
" Buffy relax...Just relax...If you continue like that you're going to faint soon " said a very amused redhead.

" I am fine, really fine..." answered Buffy as she continued speaking with that shocked expression plastered on her face " Will, you have a holiday for one month at least! "
" Oh my God! She has gone crazy! " Replied the redhead " Buffy remember I am the boss here and you are my assistant...How can you..."
" Shhhhh...." Interrupted her Buffy " Willow you should slow down. You've been driving yourself too hard for months...You should take some time to relax, and this would be a great opportunity to know Tara better...God still can't believe she is the person who freaked you out...She is an angel...I am a fan of hers...And she is a gay too; did you know that? "

" What? " asked the hacker " I am so stupid! How did I assume that she is gay in the first place? I mean she could be straight and not interested in girls...maybe she doesn't like girls at all...oh! What..."
Realizing that Willow was panicking again she quickly stopped her by placing her hand over her mouth " Stop it Will! Didn't you hear what i have said! She is so gay and i am so positive of it. Anya told me before you came that day when we took coffee together; It kind slipped out of her mouth...Do you remember Anya? "
The redhead gave her a short nod before the blonde released her hand " Look about the holiday..."
" Will! " the petite blonde glared at the hacker with a serious look on her face. It was her resolve face and when she wore it nothing could ever change her mind." Go and live your life. Take it easy Willow, you don't need to rush things...Just take your time and if she is really interested in you she won't push you. She will happily wait for you. "
" You think so? " asked a hopeful redhead.
" I know so " assured her Buffy " When you're going to see her again? "

" Well, tonight...She invited me to dinner in order to thank me for saving her out from a bad situation caused by a lunatic fan. " explained Willow.
" May I ask where? " Buffy cocked an eyebrow at the redhead.
" Her apartment..." She replied very slowly.
" Wow...Will I've got to say you're so damn lucky...Do you realize how hard to be invited by a celebrity and to her own place? So is it a date? " Laughed the petite blonde as she tapped lightly the head of Willow.
" It is not, I told you that it..." replied an annoyed redhead.
" Yeah...Yeah...As you want...But Will like I told you, just be yourself and do the right thing...Just follow your heart." Buffy said before turning away to leave the office.

" Buffy? " the hacker called out to her.
Turning around to face her friend she softly replied " Yeah? "
" I don't know what to wear..."
The petite blonde burst in an uncontrollable fit of laughter. When she gained control again she approached her friend " Will, don't worry, we'll find you something to wear. "
Grabbing the keys of Willow's car and reaching the doorknob she looked at Willow who was still behind her desk " Are you going to come soon? Come on let's get you ready "
" Okay...we can do this " she shut her computer down and walked out hurriedly of her office.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So you found out today your life's not the same...

And I know it hurts and I know you feel torn...

:pinky I love this update. I really really really love! I think that I actually cried at one point ^^;;

Boy, did Tara have one very hot dream! Aftre that I was like "Crap, dream. Amberholic, you're so meanie". But yeah, slow is good.

Much to her annoyance, she found out that her laptop also stopped working " Great " she groaned almost exasperated as she dropped her head to her desk, banging it repeatedly

That happens to me quite often, head banging. Don't be afraid, my table is okey.

" Will since I've met you I've always considered you a hopeless romantic do you know why? " She looked at Buffy not really understanding her words.
The petite blonde smiled " You see real lovers are always hopeless romantics. They cannot be otherwise and you are one of them...A hopeless romantic is someone who just won't give up, who in spite of the pain, heartache and scars, is willing to pay the price of love.

Hopeless romantics are inevitably hopeless idealist too. They deeply and passionately love the world and believe others must somewhere in themselves love the world in just that same way and so want it to be a better place..."

And that is part where I actually cried :blush Yeah, I'm big crybaby, but that just triggerd something inside me.

Thanks for this update and for this story :heart
