NOTE UPDATE: March 28, '06: This fic isn't complete, but I won't be working on it anymore, at least not for right now. I may pick it back up again in the future, and possibly completely rewrite it. When I started it, I had something else in mind for it, but somehow lost track of where I was going with it. I'm really not pleased with it, and I think it could be much better than it is. I'm very sorry to disappoint anyone who was following this story, and looking forward to an update.

Chapter(s) Last Added: Nov. 3, '05

Willow Rosenberg had just gotten home from her classes on the UC Sunnydale Campus, and was telling her girlfriend, Tara Maclay, about her day. "I was kind of disappointed in today's lecture in my computer sciences class" Said Willow with a small frown covering her pretty face, as she sat down on the couch beside Tara.

"Why's that sweetie?" Asked Tara.

"Because... They didn't really talk about anything that I didn't already know. I mean... I signed up for that class hoping to learn more than I already do... not to leave each day thinking that I could teach the teacher a thing or two about what's going on."

"Aww, baby..." Tara smiled at Willow, "you know that not everyone is as advanced as you are when it comes to certain subjects..." Then she added teasingly "I mean, not everyone can be a genius like my baby."

Willow poked her tongue out briefly at Tara, sulking for only a second.

"Oh, do you promise?" Tara asked jokingly, as she leaned over and gently placed a kiss on Willows lips.

"Mmm... Of course I promise, and I'll promise a thousand more times, if every time you respond like that." Said Willow as her mood seemed to suddenly become more cheerful.

Repeating the same actions as before, Tara once again, leaned over and kissed Willow, as she said in a low and inviting tone, "Do you promise?" This time, letting her lips linger just millimeters away from Willows as she spoke.

"Oh yes, definitely, I promise." Said Willow as she reached over taking Tara's hands and pulled the blonde haired girl over onto her lap so they were sitting face to face.

Willow leaned slightly forward in an attempt to kiss Tara, who upon Willow's movement, also moved slightly herself, in that of the backward direction. "Oh, I see you feel like teasing." Willow said. A slow sexy smile spread across the blondes features.

"That's okay," Willow leaned back so that her back was against the couch. "I'll just sit here and wait until you're ready to kiss these sweet, sexy, delicious, and inviting lips of mine, and then..."

Before Willow could finish her sentence, Tara leaned forward and kissed her. "That isn't fair!" The redhead started as her girlfriend kissed her again. "You didn't let me.." Another kiss. "finish my..." Another kiss. "sentence."

"Willow," Tara said softly.

"Huh?"

"Stop talking for a minute and," The blonde put her lips to Willows and finished "kiss me, already."

Pausing for a second in mock contemplation, Willow rested her hands on top of Tara's knees as she kissed her. Tara gently sucked on the redhead's bottom lip, while wrapping her arms around her neck. As they moved more closely together, Willow ran her hands along the top of her girlfriends thighs, up her sides, and around her waist. Willow slowly ran her tongue across Tara's upper lip. This was all the inviting the blonde needed to deepen the kiss. Slowly at first, their tongues danced back and forth, then with more hunger, more need, and more passion, they delved deeper into one another exploring the new territory with great enthusiasm. "Mmm... You're right," Tara said, "Your lips are sweet, and sexy... delicious, and very inviting."

"Mmm... Your's too." Willow moaned softly, leaning to one side while shifting her weight, slowly and gently as she moved so that Tara was lying on the couch, with herself positioned right above her. Breaking away from their kiss, Willow looked down at Tara with a silly grin and said "Hi, There."

Tara smiled. "Hey, to you too." She laughed. Willow kissed Tara's lips, then left a trail of small hungry kisses down along her chin, and all the way to her ear lobe, where she stopped to kiss just at the base of her ear. She moved her tongue in small circular patterns, then took the blondes earlobe into her mouth and started gently sucking it.

Tara let out a small moan as she ran her hands across Willow's back. Willow felt Tara's body arch a little pressing into her own as she teased her girlfriends ear with her tongue. Slowly she trailed her way down the length of Tara's neck to her collar bone where she stopped to place a dozen playful kisses. Tara leaned her head to the side slightly pushing her neck into Willow's lips.

Stopping for a moment, Willow mumbled "You know, this is supposed to happen later..." She gently suckled at Tara's neck for a minute.

"Why does it have to be later?" Tara asked.

"Because, we are supposed to meet the rest of the gang at the bronze tonight, remember?"

"Oh! I forgot all about that. What time where we meant to be going, again?" Tara asked.

Willow glanced over at the clock hanging on the wall. "Oh, in about 15 minutes."

"Can't it wait?" Tara groaned.

"Well, it could wait. I suppose. But then they might come looking for us. You know, because we are usually on time when we say we will meet them somewhere. And, if they come looking for us, which you know they most likely will, because they'll be worried, I'm sure they will find us. And boy... Will they find us. We don't want them to walk in and find us. Like this. Do we? That would be embarrassing..."

"Embarrassing?" Tara broke in teasingly. "Why would it be embarrassing? I wouldn't be embarrassed to be found like this with you."

"Well, I don't mean embarrassing, not because of, of who I'm with. But.. More so because of what I'm doing with who I'm with. Not that what we are doing, me loving you, is embarrassing... because it's not. It's just that..."

Deciding to let Willow off the Hook Tara interjected, obvious amusement in her voice. "Will, it's okay. You don't have to worry. I know what you mean."

Continuing her babble, "It's just that, some things are meant to be private. You know?"

Tara loved Willow's babble mode. But sometimes, she thought the poor girl would faint from lack of oxygen. Placing one finger on Willow's lips She repeated, "Willow, it's okay, really. I do understand, and I feel the same way. I love you, and I'm going to show you every single day, in every possible way. But some ways, are meant for us alone to see."

"Okay, I just didn't want you to think that I was embarrassed by you. By us. Because I'm not. Not at all..."

Tara put her hand behind Willows head and pulled her gently towards her so that their lips met. It was a long, slow, tender kiss, that told Willow that it really was okay, and that Tara really did understand. After the kiss ended Tara asked, "Okay, so, are we going or what?"

"Oh, yes. Yes of course. We're going." Willow stayed positioned on top of Tara. "Look at us go. This is us going."

Tara laughed. "This is us going? Will, I think your thoughts may be going. But, I don't think they're headed to the Bronze."

"Yes, yes they are going to the Bronze. They are almost there." Willow laughed.

"Well, at least part of you is almost there." Tara teased. "For the rest of you to catch up, I think you have to get up, So I can get up. Then we can both go, and we can find those thoughts of your's before someone else does."

"Oh, yeah... That would be a good idea. With some of the thoughts I'm having right now, I don't really want anyone else to find them. Well," Willow gave Tara a little smirk. "Except for maybe you."

Tara gave Willow a knowing smile, then gently started pushing herself upwards, with the redhead still on top of her. Willow, reluctantly allowed herself to be pushed up to a sitting position. "You know," she said, after sitting up "I love you."

"I know you do, and I love you too, Willow Rosenberg." With that said, they left hand in hand, heading for the Bronze.
