Chapter 28
After waking up nicely entangled, Willow and Tara went back to their own dorms. Willow went to shower, and then started packing. Tara started packing and then decided for a shower. Willow got back to her dorm after the shower, and Buffy was sitting in the room studying. Willow took a double take. Buffy? Studying?
“No Jan today?” The redhead asked, looking around the room.
“Haven’t heard from her yet.” Buffy sighed, not looking up from the book.
“I heard the sigh, Buff. What’s up?”
“I walked her back to her room last night, right?” She said, putting down her book. “We were holding hands, smiling, hell, we were giggling! I was giggling, Will.” She looked around the room as if searching for a cue card. “When was the last time I giggled?”
“Depends. Were you sober?”
Buffy let off a mock laugh. “So, we get to her room, okay. And we’re maybe five doors away, but there’s this girl sitting in front of the door. As soon as she sees this girl, she lets go of my hand and says, ‘I’ll call you tomorrow.’ And then walks to this girl.”
“Buffy…”
“I know, I know. I’m over- reacting. It’s not what I think it was. She’ll call… I know, Will.” Buffy sighed. “But, what else am I supposed to think?”
Willow smiled, “Well, she could’ve been for Tara.”
“Yeah! You’re right. Thanks.” Buffy said, suddenly more confident. She got up off the bed and walked over to the door. “I’m gunna go over to their dorm. I’ll see you later.”
“Wait. Tara?” She asked herself out loud. “Its defiantly Jan.” Reassuring herself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“So, why was she here?” Tara asked Jan, as she threw shirts into a cardboard box.
“She needed to talk to you.” Jan shrugged. Holding up a shirt to herself. “Yours or mine?”
“Me. So why did she have to talk to me?”
“Said it was important. Said she’d stop by later. Can I keep this?” She asked, pointing to a poster that Tara had brought with her.
“Go for it. Did she say when she’d come back?”
“Nope. Mine?” She asked, with another t- shirt in her hands. They heard a knock at the door and Jan looked at Tara. Tara shrugged an opened the door.
“Not mine.” She said, smiling at Buffy.
“Hey.”
“Will coming?” The blonde asked.
“Um. She was in a towel when I left, so maybe a little later.”
“Gotcha. Well, I’m gunna go shower too. I’ll see you kids later.” She went back to the door and opened it.
There, the same girl from the previous night stood. Arm up in mid-knock, she looked to be debating.
“Hey.” She said, turning her knock-hand into a wave.
“It’s been a while.” Tara simply stated. Crossing her arms.
“Don’t be pissed. I have good news.”
“Good news for you, or for me?”
“Mom said you’d be happy. Come on, let me take you out for coffee and we’ll talk.” The blonde said. She was a little taller than Tara, bit older. And her hair was darker. Her eyes were less pure, not as pretty.
“Um… yeah. Okay. Let me just make a phone call. Come in.” She said, turning from the door.
“Jan.” She nodded.
“Laura. This is Buffy.” She pointed between the two, and then rested her hand back on Buffy’s knee. “Buffy this my ex-girlfriend and Tara’s sister, Laura.”
“She’s not picking up her cell, so Buffy just tell her that I’ll call her later.” No more than a half a second after Tara said that, Willow’s head came poking from the other side of the door.
“Hey Baby. Buffy, Jan.” She said, walking up to Tara and giving her a small kiss.
“Willow!?” Tara’s sister yelled.
“Laura!? What are you doing here?” She asked, giving her a one-armed hug.
“My god. This is like a fucking episode of Dawson’s Creek.” Tara mumbled under her breath.
