Aurthor: musicmad10

Rating: PG13-R





********************************************

Chapter one – Another Day At Work





“Hurry up! Come on, or we’re going to be late! Again!”

“Okay, I’m, just coming!”

All of a sudden a flash of red and black, flies down the stairs and comes to stop by a door.

“See, here now!” smiles a girl who looks about 19.

“Good, just as well, isn’t it? We’ve been late for work, everyday this week! And it’s Wednesday today!” says a blonde haired girl who also seems about 19.

“Well I can’t help it!”



The two, make their way to a car parked outside the house. The redhead climbs in first, and then the blonde and finally they’re on their way to work.



They both work for a TV company, as actresses. They star in a show called ‘Benny’s Barmy World’. It is about a world where everything is unusual. For a start there are no vampires or demons! And then, everything always turns out right in the end, and almost no one gets killed. Of course, both girls thoroughly enjoy acting in this show; they say it brightens up their day, because as by night they are fighting demons and especially vampires. Fighting is second nature too these girls, one is even the Vampire Slayer. Looking at them both you wouldn’t believe it but the blonde one, Buffy is the Slayer and the other, Willow is a witch.

Obviously most people don’t know their secret identity, but only a certain few do. They grouped together a few years ago and call themselves the Scooby Gang.



*******************************************************************************************



Willow and Buffy arrive at the TV studio, only 10 minutes late. As they rush down the corridors to Studio 13, a man appears. He is quite tall with grey hair, and is wearing a tweed jacket and some brown trousers. As the girls see him they come to a grinding halt. The man takes of his glasses and begins to rub them hard, with a cloth. Willow and Buffy smile innocently at the man as they look up. They are greeted with a stern look.

“And where might I ask have you been?” he says sounding very annoyed.

“Um, sorry,” mumbles Willow.

“It’s all her fault, she always makes us late!” groans Buffy.

Willow hits Buffy hard on the arm, for being a tell tail!

“Ow! What was that for?” says Buffy rubbing her arm.

“Well you deserved it!” replies Willow.

“Look I don’t have enough time, for your petty arguments now get in that studio and work! We were just waiting for you!” says the man loudly and walks off towards the studio doors.



“Giles, is in a mood today, huh?” says Willow as they casually walk after the man.

“Yeah, great. I’m sure training today will be just as fun too!” moans Buffy as she opens a door.



You see Giles is not only the Stage Manager, but also Buffy’s watcher. He helps her research on demons and strange goings on, but also gives her advice and support. Well most of the time, not being today!



As the pair enters the studio they get rushed off to make-up. When they arrive a woman meets them and sits them down immediately.

“I can’t believe you’re late again!” she says as she starts to squeeze some foundation into her hand. “God! Has Giles had a go at you yet?” she asks, as she begins to put the make up on Buffy’s face.

“Yes, a go, he’s had a very good go at us for the last three days!” replies Willow.

“Well, I’m not surprised! So any way how’s the vampire population getting on?”

“Anya! Can you keep your voice down a bit! Remember secret and all!” growls Buffy.

“Sorry forgot! Oh yeah forgot to tell ya, apparently, Giles has got a surprise for everyone today. I wonder what it will be?” asks Anya.

“Oh God knows, probably that we have to work on Sunday or something!” says Buffy sarcastically.

The other two just nod in agreement.



After another fifteen minutes both girls have finished with the make up and have gone to get dressed. They finally appear ready after another fifteen minutes and walk onto the set. They see a man with black hair already there, so they walk up to him. They obviously know him well as they hug him tightly.



“Xander, good to see you again!” smiles Willow.

“And you,” he smiles.

Willow begins to blush heavily.



Willow has had a crush on Xander ever since they started the show and became friends about 3 years ago. Xander knows this and teases her about it sometimes.



“So you heard about this surprise then?” he asks.

“Oh just a while ago. Got any ideas of what it is?” asks Buffy, nudging Xander with her elbow.

“No, I don’t actually, I was hoping you two would know,” he sighed, “Never mind I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough,”



All of a sudden they hear a voice calling out to them that they are about to start filming so they get into position, ready for another day at work.

"How can i/ Beleive that my heart will find/ Someone like you/ You see the really me/ No in betweens/ I had nowhere to hide/ You took away the walls around me/ Make me feel safe to share my truth/ I see the heavens open/ A heart that once was broken/ It's holding nothing back/ Now that i found you

[musicmad10]

Hi all, i'm glad you liked the last part, so i've decided to carry on. So here's the next chapter.





Chapter 2- Lunchtime



Lunchtime came around fast. Everyone began to rush off the set, to either eat, talk or just to go to the loo, when Giles shouted for everyone to stop what they were doing.

“Could everyone come over please? It won’t take long!” he shouts.

The cast come over slowly, moaning about the lack of food.

“I wonder if this is the surprise?” asks Buffy.

“Most likely! Bad timing I’m starving!” grumbles Willow.



As Giles sees that everyone has gathered near him, he begins to speak.

“Right now, I know you all want to get to lunch, but this shouldn’t take too long. Now I know people have been hearing about a surprise today, well this is it. Ok not exactly your average surprise, but ok. I’ll get on with it. We have a new cast member, starting this week,”

Everyone has gone silent, waiting to see who it is. Giles walks towards a wall and a girl steps out from the shadows. As she and Giles walk closer towards the group, people begin to gasp in shock, and some men wolf whistle.



“What is it?” asks Willow, as she is at the back and can’t see.

“Um, don’t know, I can’t see the person yet,” says Buffy.



“This is Tara Maclay, but I guess you already know that!” smiles Giles.

The girl has long blonde flowing hair, and a stunning figure. She smiles as she is introduced, but blushes at the men’s reactions.



Tara Maclay, but she’s like really famous! Wow! Okay this show has won awards and stuff, but I never thought she’d want to be in it! I want to see! Thinks Willow desperately trying to get a glimpse.



Giles talks some more, then the group of people finally begin to move away. As more and more people begin to leave, Willow and Buffy can finally see. Willow can’t believe they have a huge star working on their TV series. As she looks up at Giles and Tara, she notices Tara staring at her. Willow is frozen to the spot. The pair just stares at each other for what feels like an eternity.



They get taken back to reality by Giles saying he’ll introduce Tara to some of the cast.

“Sure,” replies Tara.

Giles leads them over to Buffy and Willow.

Willow’s heart begins to speed up and she becomes very nervous. She has very big butterflies in her stomach. As the two approach, she smiles nervously, at Tara, and receives a huge grin from the star.



Once Giles is stood directly in front of the pair, Willow becomes very shy and looks at the floor while she shifts her weight from one leg to another.

“This is Willow and Buffy,” he says pointing at them both.

“Yes, it’s Abby and Suzy!” she smiles looking at Willow then Buffy.

“Yes, good. Nice to know you’ve been watching,” says Giles feeling proud inside.

“Oh I love the programme. I watch it whenever I’m not too busy, you know?”

“Yes! Well I’m so glad you decided to join us. And I do apologize for the reception from the males of this show!” apologizes Giles.

“They must be high on hormones!” giggles Buffy, making Tara blush a little.

“Yes well, if you like I’m sure these two wouldn’t mind showing you around?”

“Yes! Good idea, hey Will?” smiles Buffy staring at Willow, who all of a sudden has found a fascination with her hands.

Buffy nudges Willow with her arm. Willow quickly shoots her head up and looks at Buffy.

“What? Oh yes okay,” she says turning the colour of her hair.

“Good, I’ll see you ladies later,” says Giles leaving.

“Bye!” replies Tara.



Tara can’t help but smile at Willow; she just thinks she’s adorable. Tara is gay, but no one knows it. She decided never to bring it out into the open, as she is famous. Of course her family and close friends know, but other then that? No one!



What am I going to do? Show her round help! I feel like an idiot already! Thinks Willow.



Buffy is also wondering what’s going on with Willow. The normally chatty, babbling girl has turned into ultra shy mood.



“So shall we get going then?” asks Buffy.

“Yeah sure,” replies Tara smiling at Willow, as she tries to avoid Tara’s gaze.

“Great, we might even catch Xander, you know the lead character! Benny?”

“That would be nice!” grins Tara.

She’s finding it strange that the only thing she can do is smile.



Maybe it has something to do with a certain red head that is standing right in front of her?

Buffy then turns around to start the tour.



TBC...





Hope you liked it.

This is so evil. You left it there. I can't wait to see what will bring our ladies together.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

[onyxsundrops]

Interesting storyline/plot, and a cool beginning. I don't blame Tara for not being able to stop smiling.

[musicmad10]

Thank you for replies, always like reading them. Well here's the next chapter, hope you like it.



Chapter 3- Tour Time





Buffy then turns around to start the tour.

“Buffy! Hey! Wait up!” shouts a voice.

The three of them look around trying to place the sound. Suddenly an out of breath Xander runs up to Buffy.

“Buffy…Your Mum…phone…now!” he pants.

“Okay, um, now?” she asks.

“Yeah, something about picking up your sis?”

“Right! Okay then, must go, sort her out!” moans Buffy, “See you guys later!”

Buffy power walks off, Xander follows.

“Well that was, um Xander,” says Willow shyly.

“Yes, had gathered!” grins Tara.

“Right, tour! We’re going now!” smiles Willow.



Willow begins to walk towards the set, Tara close behind.

“This is the set! Well duh, I guess you knew that already!” says Willow, cursing herself.

“It’s ok. I could be thick and not know!” jokes Tara.

“I doubt it! You don’t seem thick!”

“You wouldn’t believe sometimes!” giggles Tara.



Willow then begins to guide Tara towards a darkened corner. As the darkness seems to cover more of the pair, Willow seems to feel more and more nervous. She can’t seem to find a reason why. Ever since she has seen Tara, a couple of minutes ago, she has had butterflies in her stomach, but has also felt a strange comforting feeling at the back of everything.



“Um, Willow? Where are we going?” asks Tara.

“Oh sorry, should have told you. It’s the props department,”

“It’s a bit dark?”

“Well no one’s in here at the moment. They’re on their lunch break, but the door should be open,”



Willow found the door handle and pulled open the door. They both entered and were immediately engulfed in complete darkness. A gasp could be heard from one of the girls.

All of a sudden Willow felt a tug at her hand. She suddenly realises what it is. Tara’s hand? Yes, it really is.



Huh? She’s holding my hand! Oh my God! Am I dreaming? A superstar, no a very pretty, nice superstar is holding my hand! No, ouch! Gripping my hand!



It is true. Tara had immediately found Willow’s hand as she entered the darkness. All Willow wants to know is why?



“Tara?” whispers Willow.

“Sorry!” says Tara letting go of Willow’s hand.

“No, it’s fine!” Willow secretly smiles as she takes hold of Tara’s hand.

Both girls are surprised at their actions since they’ve been in the dark room. Neither is sure where their sudden boldness has sprung from.



“Ok, if you say so,”

“Well, I’ll try and find a light switch!” says Willow as she fumbles around behind them, whilst never letting go of their firmly clasped hands.



Thankfully she finds the light switch soon enough, and the light springs on.

Both girls blink at the sudden rush of light. They are now both fully aware of their position. Hands clasped and right up against each other. They both look at each other with surprise in their eyes. As their eyes meet, they both show a big smile on their faces. Content expressions are on both faces as they then journey to look at their hands.



“Um, uh sorry. Scared of the dark! I know it sounds a bit daft!” blushes Tara.

“No, no, it’s not silly at all. And you can hold my hand anytime you need comforting, always here and ready!” says Willow, until she realises what she has just said and turns the colour of her hair.

“It’s ok, I get it!” grins Tara; really wishing she could always hold her hand.



“So, um, do you know what character you’re playing yet?” says Willow, changing the subject.

“Well I know it a person called Ally. That’s it!” she replies.

“At least you know the name. We can find out later, if you want?”

“Yeah, that might be a good idea,” she says squeezing Willow’s hand slightly.



“Well, this is the props room, place,”

“Right, check! Props room!” says Tara nodding her head, as if she is reading a tick list.

This makes both girls laugh.

“Well I think I better carry on this tour, so we finish before the end of lunch,”

“Yeah ok. Where off to now?”

“Toilets!” grins Willow.

“Wow!” gasps Tara, in dramatic shock.

“I know they’re so exciting!” giggles Willow.



The pair steps back out of the room, and close the door. Reluctantly letting go of each other’s hands the pair set off to finish the tour.





TBC....

[The Rose24]

Buffy's mom calls at exactly the right time. She gives W/T some alone time.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

[musicmad10]

Well, sorry for the wait, busy with school and all. So here's the next part. So enjoy!



Chapter 4- Help!





“Tara?” asks Willow.

“Yes?” she replies with a huge smile stretching across her face.

“Well I was wondering, if you would, um, wanna go on a date with me?” winced Willow at the last part.

Tara’s smile grew even bigger as she gave her answer!

“Yes! Yes, defiantly. I was going to ask you the same thing!” she says as she hugs Willow with force.

“Air! Need air!” giggles Willow.

“Sorry,”

Tara lets go and takes one step back and looks at her new date.

“Good that went well!” whispers Willow, relieved.

“I heard that, and it did didn’t it?”

The two girls stare at each other with grins like Cheshire cats. Willow uses all her courage to step forward and cup Tara’s cheek with her hand. As she does so Tara lets out a small sigh. Willow gently caresses the skin, with her thumb as she moves in closer. Slowly she inches towards the object of her dreams.



“Willow! Willow!”

“Huh? Tara?” says Willow.

No sound.

“Willow wake up!”

Suddenly Willow bolts upright and opens her eyes. She’s sitting in her bed and all she can see is Buffy stumbling backwards.

“Hey! You’re awake! Bloody hell! What were you dreaming about? You sat up so fast you bagged my head!” she frowns rubbing her forehead.



“Uh? I was dreaming?” yawns Willow.

“Yeah, before you hit me I heard you mumble something about Tara? Was she in your dream?” winks Buffy.

“Uh, I can’t remember!” lies Willow, as her dream flashes in front of her eyes.



I was so close to kissing her! Buffy man, you have bad timing! And I can’t believe it was a dream, it was so realistic! Thinks Willow, still slightly confused.



“Can’t I go back to sleep? I’m tired!” moans Willow.

“No! We’ve got work! I woke you up early, so that we’d get there on time, today. You know Tara will be there!” says Buffy teasing her best friend.



Tara! Yes she will won’t she!



I knew it would work. My expertise tells me there is something going on or will be going on with those two. They’re just so right for each other it’s amazing. Ok , my expertise, not, cos I haven’t got a boyfriend, but its only because I don’t want one, not because I can’t get one! Buffy convinces herself.



“Right, work it is then!” says Willow in a chirpy mood, as she begins to get out of bed.

Buffy can’t believe what she’s seeing, and stands her with her mouth open.

“What?” asks Willow in a shocked voice.

“You’re, you’re happy, in the morning. Are you ill? Let me check!” jokes Buffy, in a playful voice.

“No! Not ill, just getting ready for work!”

“Now, you see that is shocking! Well never mind, I’ll be downstairs making breakfast, be down when you’re ready,” says Buffy leaving the room.





Later that day:



Willow and Buffy walk up to the studio door.

“Do you think Tara will be here today?” asks Willow, hiding a wonderful smile.

“Well of course silly! She’s starting today!” replies her friend, as they walk inside.

“Good, just checking. You know I really like her. I hope we can be friends!”

“I think you already are friends. Look she’s coming over. I’ll leave you two alone,” smiles Buffy and walks off.



Willow looks in front of her and sees her walking in her direction.



Breathe Willow, just breathe. Ok now don’t think about the dream.



“Hi Willow. Willow?”

“Oh sorry, in a world of my own!”



In a world of you!



“It’s ok I do that too sometimes. Where’s Buffy gone?”

“Oh toilet and she needs to um, sort something out. As well. Yeah that’s it,” stumbles Willow.

“Ok? Well anyway how are you?” asks Tara smiling.



A lot better for seeing you.



“I’m good yeah. Got here on time as well. Which is well, a record for me!” smiles Willow staring into Tara’s sea blue eyes.

“Yeah, well that’s good,” replies Tara also looking into the green eyes in front of her.

“Uh, have you found out who you’re playing yet?”

“Yes, I looked in the script. A girl called Ally, and I’m one of you’re friends!”

“Well that shouldn’t be too hard to act!” grins Willow.

“I know!”



Suddenly a group of the male staff walk over and start asking for Tara’s autograph and telling her how sexy she is, etc. The crowd pushes Willow back.

Willow suddenly becomes very annoyed and protective. And for some reason she really doesn’t like that they’re calling her sexy. Willow can’t understand it, but really she wants to be the one saying all those things, but she just doesn’t have the guts. She looks over at Tara and sees she’s not too happy with the situation. Tara desperately looks over at Willow for help.



Willow can’t stand it any more and walks over to the crowd and barges her way through the horde of males.



“Move! Now!” she says.

As she reaches Tara, she takes hold of her hand and drags her through the crowd.

Once they’ve passed the group, the males all walk off. Willow continues to hold onto Tara’s hand and can’t help but notice the soft, comforting feeling. She sighs, she hopes Tara hasn’t noticed. She turns to look at Tara. All she sees is a big smile.



“Uh, well, that was…” starts Willow quietly, but not knowing what to say.

“Umm, yeah, you’re my knight in shining armour, come to save me!” she grins and kisses Willow on the cheek.

Willow’s mouth feels like dropping open, but she clenches her jaw.

“Really, you think I am?” blushes Willow.

“Oh yes, now come on. We need to get some work done,” smiles Tara as she begins to slowly lead Willow to the set, with their hands still tightly clasped together.



TBC.....







Well i hoped you liked it. And replies are always welcome.

Luv Hannah

[lil wiccan]

awww............. that was soooooooooo cute.... more more more willow is so sweet...hehehe

"How can i/ Beleive that my heart will find/ Someone like you/ You see the really me/ No in betweens/ I had nowhere to hide/ You took away the walls around me/ Make me feel safe to share my truth/ I see the heavens open/ A heart that once was broken/ It's holding nothing back/ Now that i found you

[The Rose24]

Awww. So sweet.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

[taralicious]

It was so sweet, this part. Much with the AAAWWWWWW! factor, this.

Willow just needed the impetus of jealousy and unwanted male attention directed against Tara to intervene and make her feelings known, thus initiating the sparkage recognition factor between them.

I really liked Tara kissing Willow's cheek and saying that she was Tara's knight in shining armor.

It was a very suggestive moment without being too aggressively forward, not that Tara would be in that character.

[musicmad10]

Chapter 5- New Scripts





“Hey! That is so not fair!”

“Yes it is!”

“Because you borrowed my shirt yesterday, so now I get to borrow yours!”

“Ok, ok, only for tonight though, Ally,”



It’s been a week, since Tara joined the cast and she’s been enjoying herself tremendously, and is getting on well with everyone, especially Willow.



“Thanks Abby!”

“CUT!” shouts the director.

Willow and Tara stop and wait to see what the director says, about the take.

“Good, well done. I think we’ll leave it there tonight. Good work today everyone,” he says, then turns to face Tara and Willow.

“Can I talk to you two a sec?” he asks.

“Yeah, sure,” says Willow looking at Tara.



The pair walks over and look slightly worried.

“Don’t look so nervous!” giggles the man. “I only want to give you this,” he says handing them each a script.

“We already have one. Or haven’t you noticed?” says Willow, looking puzzled.

“Yes, I know you have, but these are new,” he giggles at the girls’ confused faces.

“They are new scripts, for next week. I want you two to look through it, as you two will have a big part in it. Is that ok?”

“Really? Cool!” smiles Willow.

“Yeah we can read it through, sure,” replies Tara.

“Good. Now off you go, we’ve got to start early tomorrow!”

“Yeah, bye,” they both say and walk over to their bags.



As they put the scripts in their bags there is an awkward silence, neither knows what to say. This has been happening quite a lot in the last week when the two have been left alone together. When they are around other people it’s a totally different story, they’re laughing and chatting like long lost friends.



“Um, do you wanna come over and read this through? I mean if it’s about both of us?” asks Tara, nervously.

“Yeah, if you like,” smiles Willow at Tara.

“Good, it’s not too far, but I’ve got my car today, so we won’t have to walk,”

“Okay then, off we go!” grins Willow, a bit too cheerfully.



I’m going to her house! I wonder what it will be like? Big? Could be, I mean she is really famous, which probably makes her rather rich! But big yay for me! I get to spend a whole evening with her. Oh God what am I going to talk about? Help!



Tara opens the car door for Willow and shuts it once she’s in. She then walks round and gets in herself. As Tara starts up the engine of her shiny blue sports car a cd begins to play quietly. Tara begins to blush, and is just about to turn it off.

“No it’s ok. I like it!” grins Willow.

“Really?”

“Yeah, no one else I know listens to that sort of music apart from me,”

“Well, I do,” says Tara as she drives off.



Five minutes into the drive Willow becomes nervous again, and begins to play with her hands in her lap.



God! She’s like so close. I’m really going to her house! I know I’m going to make a fool out of myself! She thinks.



Willow suddenly feels something warm wrapping around her hands. She looks down and sees someone else’s hand on top of hers. The hand is softly rubbing hers. She looks across to the drivers seat and sees Tara smiling and trying not to look at Willow.

“You’re hand is nice and warm!” teases Willow.

“You just looked nervous,” blushes Tara putting her hand back on the wheel.

“It was nice. I’m not so nervous now, thanks to you,” says Willow, now also blushing.

As the girls pull up at Tara’s house, their faces are a bright pink colour.



Tara leads Willow to the front door. Willow can’t get a very good look at the house from the outside as it is getting very dark. But as she walks in side she stops, in ore.

“You like it?”

“Yes, wow!”

As soon as you step inside you can tell that she likes bright colours, but that she certainly has a sense of style.

“Glad you like it. Do you want a drink?” asks Tara as she takes Willow through into the living room.

“Please,”

“Will tea do?”

“Yes that’s fine,”

“Um, make you’re self at home, I’ll be back in a minute,” smiles Tara as she heads out of the room.



Willow walks around the huge room. In one corner it has a huge music system, with a stack load of cds. In the other corner it has an enormous book shelf. As Willow is a total bookworm, well when she gets the chance, she goes over to look at the books.



The first thing she notices is a photo album. She quickly takes it from its shelf and it reads ‘Tara’s photos’.

She fights with herself whether or not to look through it, but she decides she will, so goes to sit on the comfy looking sofa.



Willow plonks herself down and opens up the first page. She sees Tara at a premier, and can only smile.



She is so gorgeous! I know I shouldn’t really be thinking like that, but I can’t help it, I mean look at her! I’m not her girlfriend, but I wish I were! She thinks as she smiles at the page.



As she looks at the picture, she begins to trace over the photo with her fingers, slowly and gently.



“Here,” says a voice, making Willow jump.

Willow nearly drops the book when she realises who is watching her and who’s photo album it is.



Tara! Oh no! She saw me!



“Do you like that photo?” asks Tara grinning.

“Um, yes, it’s, um very nice. Thanks for the tea by the way!” blushes Willow heavily.

“It’s ok,” replies Tara sitting beside Willow.

“Can we look at the script now?” asks Willow getting off the subject.

“Yeah sure. That’s why you came over. To look at the scripts,” says Tara, with a hint of sadness in her voice.



The pair sits down and read for an hour when finally they have finished the script.

“Wow! That is um different!” says Willow shocked.

“I know we’re going to be girlfriends!”





TBC...

Chapter 6- Invitation



The pair sits down and read for an hour when finally they have finished the script.

“Wow! That is um different!” says Willow shocked.

“I know we’re going to be girlfriends!”



The pair turns their heads slowly to look at each other. Both of them look slightly embarrassed.

“Yeah, girlfriends, I know. It’s different!” says Tara.



It’s cool though, I’m gonna be Willow’s girlfriend! Thinks Tara, her heart beating faster.



“Well are you up for it? I mean doing it? I mean…” says Willow becoming redder with every word.

“I am if you’re ok?”

“Um, yeah. So we can say yes tomorrow then?”

“Yeah, I suppose,”



Oh God, I’m gonna have to kiss her or something! Help! Worries Willow.



“What are you thinking about?” asks Tara, having seen the look that’s just appeared on Willow’s face.

“Oh, just stuff,”

“Tell me please, I wanna know,” grins Tara, moving closer to Willow on the sofa.



As Willow sees Tara slowly inching her way towards her, she feels as though her heart is beating so fast, she’s going to explode.



I can’t ask her about the kissing thing? Can I? She’ll probably just go, ‘oh yeah probably’, and not care, and be silly I like am. It’s only acting!



“Go on, I wanna know,” purrs Tara, not knowing what’s possessing her to be so flirty with someone.

“Um, just about t-the s-show,” stammers Willow, sounding out of breath.

“Oh, about the girlfriend part?” smiles Tara whispering in Willow’s ear.

“Y-y-yes!”

“I think it’s a good idea, I mean you don’t exactly get many programmes with gay couples on it,”

“True,”

“Well what’s going on up there then?” asks Tara tapping lightly on Willow’s head.

“I was wondering if we’d have to kiss, but of course we will we’d be girlfriends!” says Willow quickly becoming very embarrassed.

“You’re nervous about it? It’s ok honest. I don’t mind kissing you. I mean when we’re acting,” replies Tara becoming her normal shy self.



Of course only when we’re acting. She never would when we weren’t! Get out of dreamland Willow!





“Right, good to hear it. I-I’d better be going, cause it’s getting late,” says Willow looking up at the clock.

“Really? Do you have to go yet? I mean if you want to, you could stay here tonight. It’s kind of dark outside,” asks Tara lowering her head, in a total shy moment.



Willow’s never seen her so shy before. The Tara she’s seen has always been the superstar Tara. The confident, lively one.



“Are you sure? I mean if I’m not imposing on you,” she asks.

“No, no! I’d love you to stay,” she smiles, looking up at Willow.



Their eyes meet once again; like they did the first time they saw each other, just over a week ago. The pair both sighs in unison as they loose time in each other’s eyes.



“S-So, is it okay?” asks Tara, pulling herself away from the emerald green eyes.

“Sure, that would be nice,” grins Willow with a huge smile spreading over her face.

The smile must be infectious as Tara begins to smile also.



“Good, I have a guest room, you can sleep in,”

“Oh, but I don’t have anything to get dressed into, for bed I mean,”

“That’s okay, you can borrow, some PJ’s or something, if you want of course?”

“Sure that would be nice,”

“So what do you wanna do now?” asks Tara.

“Don’t mind,”

”Do you wanna watch a film or something, I’ve got quite a few to choose from,”

“Yeah, great. You choose, surprise me,”



So Tara walks over to the TV and picks out a DVD.

“Do you like ‘Notting Hill’?”

“Yes! It’s great. I just feel like watching a soppy love story!”

“Great!” grins Tara as she starts up the film, and sits down next to Willow.



As the film starts to play the opening credits, Tara decides to be brave and slowly leans over and rests her head on Willow’s shoulder. She looks up to see Willow smiling down at her and huddles up closer to her. She feels her heart leap as Willow puts her arm round her side.



The pair snuggle up and enjoy the movie, with the feeling of comfort surrounding them both.



TBC....



Hope you enjoyed it, I know it's a bit short, but i'll try to make the next one a bit longer.

I knew the chemistry between W/T would be seen, and they would be written as girlfriends.



I am loving the sappiness of this story. It is relatively angst free.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

[taralicious]

Another pair of supersweet and touching updates. Willow and Tara are going to set televisions ablaze across the country when the series of episodes with them as girlfriends airs.

There is no hiding the volcanic and explosive nature of the passion between them.

"Notting Hill" was an apt choice of films for Tara to choose for them to watch.

I'd rather watch Tara than Julia Roberts anyday, however.

Chapter 7 – Morning Time





Opening her eyes she looks around. The room seems so familiar, but she can’t place it. As her eyes look straight up, she sees a blue lampshade on a white coloured ceiling. She looks to her left and notices a bookshelf, that doesn’t belong to her. She begins to panic. Quickly her eye line moves to the right side of the room and spots a tall wood wardrobe.



Where am I? Huh?



Suddenly her eyes stop their frantic movements and come to settle on the object next to her. As she peers at the bed, she notices the covers moving, with a steady up and down rhythm. She realises a person is underneath the duvet. All of a sudden she becomes very aware of herself, and realises she can’t feel one of her arms. Her right arm seems to be dead! Promptly she searches for an explanation. She thinks hard. Then out of the blue it strikes her! She knows where she is! She’s at Tara’s house! The superstar! In her bed!



But it still doesn’t explain the dead arm!



She takes a peek under the covers to check her arm’s still attached. She is surprised to find that it is crushed underneath Tara. Also she is stunted to find her left arm hooked over the sleeping form as if she is hugging her. Panic suddenly sets in. Willow’s brain goes into overdrive.



Hugging! I was hugging her? But how? Was I snuggling with her in bed? Her own bed? Oh no! She worries.



As Willow worries she also becomes very aware of how close she is lying to Tara. Willow looks at Tara and she can’t help but think how pretty she is. Tara is lying face towards Willow on her side.



Willow decides she has to get her arm from under Tara and begins to tug it out. Unexpectedly noises start to come from Tara, as if she’s protesting. Willow stops. As soon as she stops Tara moves up even closer to Willow and loops her arms across Willow’s body. They are now right up close to each other, and Willow is getting more nervous by the second.



Does she really want to lye this close to me, or is she just dreaming? I don’t know if I should stay, she might think I’m taking advantage of her!



When suddenly the night before sprang into her mind and she ran through it all again.





Last night:



“I’m going to bed now Willow, you coming?” asks Tara as they sit on the sofa after finishing the movie.

“Um?” sighs Willow, not really listening.

“I said. Never mind, bed? Now? Coming?” grins Tara as she strokes Willow’s hair.

The pair seems very comfy in their poison on the sofa. Tara is lying down on the huge sofa, whilst Willow is huddled up against her, and slightly in front of her also lying down.



“Yeah, ok bed would be good. Got to be ready for tomorrow,” yawns Willow.

“Do you want me to stop playing with your hair? It’s obviously making you tired,” smiles Tara, full well knowing what the answer will be.

“NO! Don’t stop it’s nice!” grins Willow cheekily.

“Well if you go to bed I’ll carry on stroking your hair, then I’ll get you to sleep fast!”

“Are you trying to seduce me!?” grins Willow turning right round to face Tara.



Their faces are so close together now that they are only miller meters apart.

“No I just want you to come to bed with me! Oops!” blushes Tara, as she realises what she’s just said.

“I’d love to come to bed with you, especially if you stroke my hair,” smiles Willow also blushing.





Back To Present:



That’s all Willow can remember. The rest is kind of a blur for her. She only knows she didn’t kiss Tara, as she now wishes she had done.



That’s why we’re in the same bed! I get it now! Thinks Willow as she lets out a sigh of relief.



As she does so Tara begins to move and hugs Willow right up close to her. Willow can hardly breathe, but doesn’t care too much as she watches Tara’s eyes slowly come alive right in front of her face (literally).

Tara grumbles something Willow can’t understand, but Willow begins to hug her back and brush her one hand up and down Tara’s back.



“Willow?” yawns Tara.

“I’m here,” she smiles.

As soon as Tara’s eyes are fully open she notices how close she and Willow are and pulls back in embarrassment.

Willow whimpers at the loss of contact.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean…” she says her eyes wide with fear of rejection.

Willow doesn’t say anything, she simply moves back over to Tara and puts her arm across her onto the other side of the bed and lifts herself up slightly above Tara. They stare at each other for a second, until Willow gets the courage to slowly move down and place a small gentle kiss on Tara’s lips. As Willow’s head slowly rises up again, she notices the smile that has appeared on Tara’s face. Willow can’t help but also grin.



“Can I always wake up like that?” asks Tara.

“Only if you want too,” grins Willow.

“Oh yes please!” gushes Tara as she lifts her head up and gives Willow a small kiss on the lips.





TBC....



Hope you liked it. Sorry for the long wait. I've been busy with school, but today was the last day at school before the easter hols, so i should be able to update a bit more often now.

Very cute. Willow has some explaining to do, and I am sure Buffy will understand.

Chapter 8 – Lots of talking



The day so far, has been relatively normal. Go to work, and act. Well that’s what it looks like to most, but three people know differently. Willow’s been walking around the set in deep thought for about half an hour. Not that thinking is something not many people do, it’s just, her best friend has noticed something different about her today.



I know she likes to think, that’s good, but pacing around doing nothing, is odd. And anyway, she hasn’t even really spoken to anyone today. She’s only said about two words to me. I can bet anything, it has something to do with Tara. I know she slept there last night, and I know there’s something there between them, they just haven’t realised it yet. Thinks Buffy as she carefully watches Willow from behind a wall.



Buffy has had enough of watching her friend walk a hole into the floor, and goes over.



“Hi? Will?” she says, tapping her on the shoulder.

“What?!” shouts Willow, being snapped out of her daydream.

“Hey, chill it’s only me,” grins Buffy at the expression on her friends face.

“Well, um, that’s ok then,” she sighs. “Can I talk to you?”

“Yeah, sure,”

“In, uh, private?”

“Sure, come on, the dressing rooms free,”



The pair walks in silence to the dressing room and sit down.

“So what’s up Will?”

“It’s kind of confusing,”

“It’s ok, I have time,”

”And embarrassing,”

“Come on, you have always told me stuff, so don’t stop now!” sympathises Buffy.

“Ok, well you know I like Tara as a friend right?”

“Yeah, you two are very close,”

“Yeah well you see that’s kind of my problem,”

“Problem? Why? You don’t like her any more?” asks Buffy puzzled.

“Oh no! It’s the opposite actually! I like her more then like! If you get what I mean?” says Willow blushing red like a tomato.

“Oh, yeah, I thought so,” says Buffy casually.

“You knew?”

“Well I didn’t know exactly, guessed might be a good word. But anyway, are you going out then? Good for you!” grins Buffy, pleased her theory was right.

“No, we’re not. Well I don’t think so anyway,”

“Oh?”

“Oh, indeed. We did kiss this morning, twice,”

”Go Will!” grins Buffy.

“But! I don’t think it meant anything to her, so I don’t know what to think. Any idea?”

“Hum, let me see. My best friends first proper crush, and she doesn’t know it yet! I think she does like you. You need to go and speak to her or you’ll never find out,”

“Oh no, no, no, no! I’ll sound so stupid, especially if she just thought they were friends kisses, if you get it?”

”You didn’t like actually kiss then, cos I thought it might be obvious?”

“Just quickly on the lips type thing,”

“You need to talk. I’m gonna find her and you will speak to each other. Now stay here!”



Willow waits patiently in the dressing room.



Ok, I’ve got to actually talk about this why? What on earth am I going to say? Oh do you fancy me? Oh great one!



Suddenly the door opening stops her in her thoughts.



“Now, I’m not letting you out, until you talk properly. I am going to stand guard so no one can come in!” she says shutting the door behind her. Tara stands nervously in the room, looking everywhere but at Willow.



“Why has she sent me in here?” she asks, honestly not knowing.

“I uh don’t know, she says she wants us to talk,”

“Oh, right,”

“Sit, down,” says Willow pointing to the chair next to her.



Tara slowly moves over and sits down next to Willow.

“So what do you wanna talk about?” asks Willow.

Silence for a second, then they both answer at the same time with,

“This morning!”

“Well it’s good to know, we thinking about the same thing,” says Willow quietly.

“Yeah,”



There is an awkward silence. It seems to last for ever.



“Do you like me?” blurts out Willow.

“Huh? Yes of course I like you,”

“I mean, not in a friends way?” blushes Willow.

“I, uh, don’t know,”

“Good, me neither,”

“You don’t know if you like yourself?”

“No I mean you. I don’t know if I fancy you?”

“Oh,”

“Yeah,”

“I mean I think I might,”

“Good, yes me too,”

“About this morning, I really liked it, and last night was so nice. Just to relax and talk,”

“And cuddle!”

“Yes, that too,” smiles Tara.

“I’d like to do that again, sometime, soon,”

“Sure you can come over again,”

“No silly, I meant the cuddling and chatting too,” she grins.

“Oh, ok,” blushes Tara looking at the floor.



“Actually I’ve changed my mind. I do like you. I’m just going to say it, I do like you more then a friend!” she says.

“Right, I think I do too,”

“And this morning, when I kissed you, I liked it too!”

“I liked that as well, I vote we do that sometime other time too!” grins a shy Tara.

“Well good that’s sorted, does that mean I can ask you out on a date?”

“Sure, if you want,”

“Goodie! Do you wanna go out on a date with me?”

“Yes!”



“Few! That was different, I’ve never done that before,”

“Really you’ve never been on a date before?”

“No, not really?”

“Oh well, nice to be the first. I’m honoured,”



Willow can’t hold it in anymore and leans over in her seat and with a smile on her face she swings her arms around her girlfriend and hugs her closely.



I did it, yes!





TBC...



Hope you like it, this chapter was simply trying to get the two together, so from now on smoochies will be in order!!

Even in death Baby, i´ll never leave u!

[The Rose24]

I am glad a lot stories on the kitten board have Buffy actually paying attention to Willow and being an understanding friend. On the actual show, Buffy is totally clueless.



I am glad the ladies have gotten the awkward things out of the way, and they can start building their relationship.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

[musicmad10]

Hey guys, heres the new update, hoe you enjoy it.



Chapter 9- The date!



“Date? I’m going on a date? I’m going on a date with a superstar! This so has not sunk in yet!” says Willow as she and Buffy clean up their house.

“Well it better, cause tonight is the night, which I have been waiting for, for like ages!”

“You’ve been waiting for?” asks a puzzled Willow as she stops what’s she’s doing and turns to face Buffy.

“Yeah, when you come home from your first date, in like ever, I get to asks you for all the details! I’ve been waiting to say that for ages!” she grins.

“Oh yeah it’s Saturday today isn’t it? Date day?”

“Well duh, yesterday was Friday. That’s when you asked her on a date, so yes, let me check. Today would be Saturday!” laughs Buffy amused at how nervous her friend obviously is.

“Ok, fine. I’m a stupid, but I’m just anxious. I mean what do I say? How do I act? I haven’t even decided where to take her yet. I mean I know I offered to find somewhere. She said anywhere would do. But I just want it to be somewhere nice and quite and special!” babbles the red head.

“Look, sit, now!” smiles Buffy pointing to the sofa.

The pair sits down and Buffy gives Willow a lecture on the do’s and don’ts of dating. (Well what she thinks anyway) They also decide on a place to take Willow’s date.



************************************



Oh Lord. It’s 6. She’s going to be here like any minute now. Why the hell am I so nervous? I already know the girl, and like her. I’m even more nervous then when I go on live TV! Oh doorbell!



Tara rushes to the door. Just before she opens it she brushes her hands over her clothes, just in case any creases have appeared in them after the last time she checked 5 seconds ago!

Slowly she opens the door, and finds Willow standing outside smiling. She can’t help but notice how cute she looks. She is wearing a green figure hugging top and some black trousers.

“Hey, Willow. You can come in,” blushes Tara, as she peels her eyes away from her date.

“Thanks. Oh these are for you,” she grins as she swings her arm from behind her back and produces a bunch of lovely red roses.

“They’re for me?”

“Yes, unless I got the wrong house and you’re not my date?”

“Oh I am so your date!” grins Tara and takes hold of the roses.



They both stand in silence for a second, when Tara nervously speaks up.

“Better put these in water,”

“Yes, good idea,”



Willow follows Tara into the kitchen.

“So where are we going tonight?” asks Tara.

“Ah, just some nice old fashioned restaurant. Nothing too posh, just nice and cosy,”

“I notice you used the word cosy? Meaning?” smirks Tara teasing Willow.

“Well I thought afterwards we could um, get cosy with snuggles!” replies Willow knowing Tara was joking, but at the same time hoping it would come true.

“Aren’t you planning on going home tonight then?”

“Oh well, that depends!” giggles Willow winking at Tara, “Well we had better go, reservations and all,”



The pair both leave the house and Willow drives to the restaurant. The drive is pretty uneventful, with the pair simply chatting casually, although Willow does make a move and puts her hand on Tara’s leg a couple of times whilst driving.



“We’re here. You ever been here before?” asks Willow opening the door for Tara.

“Thanks, and no. So let’s go eat!”



They find themselves a table and order their food. They aimlessly chat about nothing, until finally the meals arrive, and they tuck in. Willow has ordered spaghetti bolognaise, which she now thinks isn’t such a good idea as she’s getting it everywhere. But then again it does give them both something to laugh about. Tara has ordered some other type of pasta. During dinner neither says too much, they are constantly sharing glances at each other. This alone is enough for them to tell each other that they’re happy and enjoying themselves.



“That was nice. How much was my meal?” asks Tara.

“Doesn’t matter cause I’m paying,” replies Willow.

“It might be real expensive. I think we should share,” says Tara trying to reason with Willow.

“No I insist I pay. I asked you out, so I’m going to pay!”

Tara can’t answer to that, so she gives in.



Tara and Willow decide to head back to Tara’s as they are full and it’s nearly 8.30.

They arrive at the house and Tara lets Willow inside.

“Um what do we do now?” asks Willow.

“What do you mean?”



The pair goes over to the sofa and sits down.

“Well what do most people do after a date? I’ve never been on one, so?”

“Oh well, we don’t have to be like most people. Anyway, I’m only me, so I’m not really an expert either!”

“Oh,” says Willow.

“But I’ll tell you want I want to do,” says Tara with a glint of naughtiness in her eyes.

“Oh yeah?” says Willow perking up all of a sudden.

“Replay yesterday morning,”

“Oh we can so do that!”



Tara slowly begins to lean in closer and closer to Willow. Willow does the same and gradually their lips meet and sparks are set flying. Bit by bit, they move away and they both see a smile on their faces.

“Wow!” sighs Willow.

“Wow, too!” grins Tara as they move closer once again.



This time they become slightly bolder and Tara parts her lips to allow Willow’s tongue inside. The pair begins to lightly wrestle with their tongues, but as their passion grows all their energy gets put into the kiss. They only stop when air becomes an issue. They both then realise the poison that they’re in. Willow is casually on top of Tara who’s lying down on the sofa. They are both surprised at how absorbed they must have been in the kiss, to not even realise anything else. Willow looks down lovingly at Tara and feels how fast her own heartbeat is. She knows she’s found someone very special. They begin to kiss again, neither bothered at all by the closeness of each other’s bodies.



TBC......
