Part 1Ring ring…
“Hello, Summers residence” Willow said as she picked up the phone
“Hi sweetie, it’s me Tara”
“Tara, hi baby. Please tell me you’re on your way home?” Willow asked
“Well” Tara paused to find the right words “You see honey, I have to stay here for at least another week. My boss needs me to finish this project before I leave”
‘Stupid boss, he’s cutting into my Tara time’ Willow thought
“Umm Will, you still there??” Tara asked
“Oh yeah, sorry baby. It’s just I miss you so much and I really wanted you to come home like now. But I understand you need to finish your project.” Willow said with a sigh
“I miss you too baby, but I’ll be home in a week.” Tara held in a small giggle “I’ve got to go now, I love you sweetie never forget that”
“I love you too, see you in a week.”
They both hung up the phone at the same time, Willow had a big frown on her face because she really was looking forward to seeing her love. Meanwhile, Tara had a huge grin on her face as she boarded the plan to Sunnydale. She planned this surprise for Willow a couple of days ago with Buffy and the rest of the gang.
‘This is going to be a perfect surprise’ Tara thought as she got comfortable in her seat.
Part 2
Buffy walked into the dinning room to find her best friend sitting at the table staring at her breakfast bowl.
“Hey Will, what’s up??” Willow didn’t answer so Buffy knocked on the table and said “Earth to Willow, come in.” This time Willow realized Buffy was home and talking to her.
“Oh hey Buffy, sorry I guess I’m a little distracted,” Willow said as she got up ad walked into the kitchen to get a glass of milk.
Buffy took a seat and waited for Willow to return “What’s got you all distracted?” Buffy asked while trying to get comfy in the chair.
“I got phone call from Tara last night, and she’s not coming home for another week.” Willow said as she sat down across from the slayer.
“Really, I’m sorry to hear that Will. I know how much you miss Tara.” At this point Buffy was trying really hard not to give away the surprise.
“I’m starting to think maybe I should hop on a plane to Colorado and visit her….I can’t stand being away from her for so long.”
At that moment Tara quietly walked into the dinning room behind Willow. Buffy gave her a quick smile and continued to listen to her best friend. “I know it’s only been like 2 weeks since Tara left but it just seems like she’s been gone forever, you know what I mean Buffy?”
“Of course I know what you mean. You love Tara and you want to be with her as much as you possibly can.” Buffy said with a grin
“Buffy, you have no idea how much I love Tara. When she’s not near me I feel like there’s something missing. I wish she was home with me now like she was supposed to be” Willow said with a pout on her face.
Tara moved closer to Willow very slowly so her girlfriend wouldn’t hear her. Tara now stood right behind Willow and said “Your wish my dear is my command.”
Willow sat straight up and looked at Buffy, she was wondering if she missed Tara so much that she was hearing voices. Once she saw the biggest smile on her friend’s face she knew she wasn’t imagining Tara’s voice. Willow slowly turned around only to be greeted with the most beautiful face in the whole world.
“But, how, when…I thought you weren’t going to be home for another week??” Willow asked a little confused
“It was a surprise. I planned it a few days ago. I know how much I missed you so I could only imagine how much you missed me. Are you surprised?”
“Very much so, I’m so happy you’re home, never leave again.”
“I can’t promise that but I can promise I’ll be home for a long time before my next trip.”
With that Buffy said a quick goodbye to Willow and Tara, but the 2 lovers didn’t hear a thing because they were too busy saying hello
Tara pulled Willow up from the chair and gave her the sweetest kiss one could imagine. They pulled apart to gaze into each others eyes “I love you so much Tara” Willow said quietly “I love you too Will.” They kissed slowly at first but it grew more passionate with every passing second.
When the 2 finally parted to catch their breath, they finally realized Buffy had left. Both women sat down at the table for a few minutes just gazing at each other. ‘I’m so happy she’s finally home’ Willow thought as she gently moved a stray strand of golden hair from Tara’s face.
Tara broke the silence “Will, what are you thinking?”
“Nothing baby…well actually I was thinking you must be tired from traveling all night.”
“I’m a bit tied but it doesn’t matter as long as I’m here with you.” Tara said while she leaned in a placed a kiss on Willows soft sweet lips.
“Baby if you’re tired you should go for a nap, I don’t want you all worn out when I finally get you home after so long.”
“A nap does sound good, but only if you come with me. I’ve missed falling asleep in you arms and I’d really like to do that now.” Tara said with a growing grin on her face
“Of course I’m coming with you, you didn’t think I was going to let you out of my sight so soon did you?”
They both stood and headed for their bedroom hand and hand. They reached the door, walked in and Tara gave Willow a look like she never wanted to leave this room again.
