Willow had just finished stirring the tomato paste and vegetables into the
rice when she heard a key turning in the front door, she put the spoon she
was using down and wiped her hands in the blue apron which she was wearing
and walked towards the hallway to see who it was.
It was Violet and Tara; Violet was unbuttoning her three quarter length denim jacket and hanging it on her hook, next to the door. Tara was standing in the doorway still nervous about doing something wrong or being rude in the house even though she had lived in it and was in and out of it basically every other day.
Tara was wearing a black long sleeved t-shirt and a full length green and blue skirt she looked beautiful.
Tara smiled at her when she entered and Willow went forward to hug her. They had had a relationship when they had been in college but that was over now, Willow had realised that she had never really stopped being in love with Oz, although it had hurt Tara to find this out but once she had realised that it was real and that Willow had found her true love in life she had been able after a while to begin to be friends again and now they were back to being best friends, Willow had often thought that they were closer now in these years later then they had been when they had been dating.
Violet hugged Willow when she had finished hugging Tara and said, "Mmm is Dinner ready?"
Tara laughed and said "Dear god you can't be hungry again, violet you had a massive ice cream when you came round mine and then you basically cleared out my larder."
"I'm a growing girl what can I say?" Violet said with a grin "I guess I'm just lucky that I have a fast metobo thingy."
"Metabolism?" Willow asked with a raised eyebrow
"That's it, look me the girl with the fast Metabolism! Hand me your cookies and watch me not gain a single pound nope not one."
They were all laughing now.
"What's so funny?" Oz asked as he walked out of the hall and Willow started to explain to him and then said "Oh no my pie it'll be burnt!" and ran towards the kitchen.
"So Tara how are you?" Oz asked grinning at the witch. It had taken him a while to get the used to the idea of his willow being gay for a while but had realised that since she had picked him over Tara and boy he had known how much she loved Tara then he was pretty safe.
And so over some time had started to get to know her a bit better and now they got along brilliantly.
"I'm good thanks." She said a little hesitantly
"Are you sure?"
He asked knowing her better he than to believe her when she sounded a bit hesitant.
"The shelves in her living room fell down, one fell then the others after it like boom boom boom massive noise and she was going to ask you to put them back up for her."
Violet said grinning
"Sure I'll do that you know me,ve to be handy fix it guy. tomorrow ok bout sixish? I got rehearsal in the day but if that's to late then I can come by earlier if you want?"
"No six is good, thank you."
"That's ok."
He smiled at her and then turned his attention towards Violet saying "Have you had a good time?"
"Yeah it was great, Eli and Paul turned up with Kelly so we had a great time, we nearly had to leave early though cause Kelly got into a fight with one of the usher's."
"Was she ok?"
"Yeah it was cool she talked to the manager who is like married to her cousin or something and her apologised for the usher being rude to us and gave us free refreshments and everything." She said grinning
"Well that's good then. How bout you go clean up before Dinner?"
"Ok,"
Violet said grinning as she run up the stairs. It was like a tradition that she always had a clean up before she ate her evening meal and she would normally change her clothes it they looked scruffy it was like what they used to do in the 1930's or something but she enjoyed it.
As she was running up the stairs she heard something she and not heard for a very long time.
"Rose petal's fall
In Fairy land
falling into a river there The roses love is spread around
Along the land although she's no longer there
So catch your petal with both hands
And never let it go
Live your dreams with love not fear
I'll be there watching you from the castle in the sky"
it was a humming her song, the voice was like a ghost from the past.
She knew that voice it had sung her to sleep when her mother had not been able to it was the voice that had sung her to sleep that night when she had gotten up the night her mother had died it belonged to the man who had carried her up the stairs, who chest she had snuggled up to it belonged to her father.
"Dada?"
It was Violet and Tara; Violet was unbuttoning her three quarter length denim jacket and hanging it on her hook, next to the door. Tara was standing in the doorway still nervous about doing something wrong or being rude in the house even though she had lived in it and was in and out of it basically every other day.
