Some More Confussion
Willow woke up to find herself nestled against Giles chest. He was still asleep and for a few minutes she just lay there staring up at him. Then a sharp pain in her back reminded her she was on the floor and had been for most of the night. Giles' left arm was draped over her protectively and she moved it aside gently before getting herself off the floor. Giles kept sleeping and as she saw no immediate need to awaken him she went to make breakfast.
She took out a frying pan and started cooking some scrambled eggs, looking back at her sleeping lover now and then. That's when it hit her.
'Oh my God. Tara.'
Tara would be devastated if she found out about this. Willow panicked. Forgetting breakfast she ran into the other room and started gathering up her clothes.
Willow didn't know what to do. Tara was going to hate her, Buffy would be horified, Xander would have a fit and Giles...
'What if he regrets it.' Willow felt terrible about what she'd done, but for Tara's sake only. It had definitly been good. She just hoped Giles felt the same way.
For now though the Willow had to find a way to tell Tara, and decide what (or who) she was going to do next.
Giles woke to the sound of footsteps very close to his head. As he opened his eye he had just enough time to see Willow's paniced face, before she ran out the door. Again.
"What on earth?" Giles asked outloud. He got to his feet and surveyed the living room. His clothes were spread across the floor and furniture in no particular patern, Willow's clothes however were no where to be seen, so she hadn't been in that big of a hurry.
Then it sunk in. He'd slept with Willow. Willow, who had only graduated last year. Sweet, innocent, has a girlfriend Willow. 'Dear Lord. What have I done.' From Willow's swift departure he guessed she hadn't been too impressed with the whole thing either.
'God,' he thought, 'she must be sick to her stomach.' Not only had Willow cheated on Tara, but she'd slept with Giles. He couldn't imagin her being anything but mortified.
Giles on the other hand was having a problem deciding his reaction. It wasn't that he was entirely happy he'd slept with a girl half his age, but he had strong feelings for Willow and didn't want to let her go that easily. While he was debating to go after her or not he smelled something burning in the kitchen. He ran in and turned off the burner and was amazed to see what at one point must have been breakfast.
Giles was amazed. Obviously Willow hadn't decided to leave right away, so was it possible she wasn't too discusted with the whole thing?
'Only one way to find out.' Giles quickly dressed himself and hurried out the door headed for the college campus.
Willow arrived at Tara's dorm room out of breath. She rapped on the door and waited for a few minutes, but there was no answer. Opening the door Willow was amazed to find nothing but the bed frame and matress. Willow felt sick, it was just like when Oz had left her. 'Only I didn't even give Tara a chance to dump me.'
Staring at the empty room in shock Willow noticed something on the matress. Moving over to the bed she picked up a yellow envelope. Inside was a short note on pink paper.
Dear Willow
I'm afraid I have to leave. Please don't try to find me. I still love you, but I can't stay. It's not that I don't think you'd understand, it's just that... Oh, Willow I'm so sorry. Don't worry about me I'll be fine.
With love, Tara
Willow couldn't move. She didn't understand. 'Tara,' she thought in desperation. Shaking, Willow sunk to the floor crying.
Suddenly she felt two warms spots on her shoulders and turning around she stared into Giles concerned eyes. "Willow, I'm so sorry," he whispered.
She leaned forward and he kissed him tentatively. When he didn't pull away she sank deeper into the kiss.
Willow glanced back at the note and noticed something she hadn't before.
P.S.
I hope you and Giles will be happy.
Giles looked at Willow in confusion. "What is it Love?"
Willow smiled softly at him. "I love you," she whispered.
Helping Willow to her feet Giles turned to the door, but Willow waited behind. Placing a kiss on a peace of pink paper, she threw it onto the bare matress, and with that they left.
