Chapter 8

"So, you want me to hide the stuff you bought Willow for Christmas at Buffy's? You know she will find them if you keep them at your house!" Kelly laughs at Tara thinking about Willow sneaking around the house looking for her gifts.

"You have no idea! Last year I had to keep the presents at the Magic Box till the night before. I've learned over the years that she is relentless. She can't stand to have someone keep a secret from her." Tara stops looking ahead of her and grins. She turns at looks at Kelly "Can you take these bags and put them with yours? I see a certain redhead and blonde coming this way and I don't really want her to know that I've gotten something."

Kelly looks up and sees Buffy and Willow heading their way. It doesn't look like they've seen them yet, since they stopped and were looking in a window. "Here, give them to me real quick – they have lockers right down the side here. I'll put them in there and come back later to get them."

Tara grins and hands her bags over. "Thanks Sis."

Kelly nods and runs off with the bags, depositing in the lockers and pocketing the keys to the lockers.

Tara hooks her arm through Kelly's as they head towards Buffy and Willow.

"Oh. My. GOD." Buffy exclaims with her eyes going wide and her jaw dropping.

Willow turns and looks at Buffy "What is wrong with you?" She turns to look in the same direction that Buffy is looking and starts laughing after her eyes about pop out of her head, too.

Tara and Kelly are walking towards them and Kelly is wearing skin-tight black hip-hugger jeans, a short black leather jacket with a red silk shirt unbuttoned halfway down showing off cleavage and the black lace bra that she's wearing underneath it. Willow quickly closes her eyes and shakes her head to get the image out of her mind. Can't have Tara getting upset with her, nope, can't have that.

Tara sees the way Willow and Buffy are looking at Kelly and bumps into Kelly's side grinning. "I think you've broken both of them."

Kelly smirks and looks down at Tara "You think so? I don't know what might have caused it."

Tara laughs out loud, "Oh, the extreme showing of the cleavage, the tight jeans, the boots, the leather jacket, lipstick that matches your shirt? Beautiful woman walking towards Willow with breasts will usually make her look. My baby is a definite breast gal!"

Kelly looks at Tara with a little grin and says "Oops? I'm not going to get her in trouble, am I?"

"Goddess, no. It will just give me something to tease her about and" Tara hesitates and gets a devilish grin on her face. "I'll also get some major hot loving out of it too, if I know my redhead."

"Oooh, Tara's gonna get some hot monkey sex tonight!" Kelly teases.

"Damn straight." Tara replies with an unrepetenant grin.

By this time Tara and Kelly have reached the other two and Willow is making sure to keep her eyes on Tara, while Buffy just has a glazed look in her eyes while looking chest level at Kelly.

Willow glances to Buffy and sees she's still out of it, so she bumps her hard and whispers in her ear "Buffy, wipe the drool off your chin and say something!"

Buffy shakes her head quickly reaching up with her hand to wipe her chin and is embarrassed to see there actually was drool on it. "Uhh, fancy running into you two here!"

Willow eases over to Tara and leans in to give her a loving kiss as Tara pulls back slightly and looks Willow in the eye stating "Don't think I didn't notice where your eyes were young woman."

Willow's eyes get real big and round "But, but…I didn't….Honey….But…were there…and…I love you!" She stutters out with a slight whimper.

Tara let's her lover stew for a few moments before leaning in and giving her the loving kiss she was looking for before and then pulls back with a big grin on her face. "I know you do honey. And I knew the first place you would be looking when I saw Kelly walk out of her bedroom wearing that outfit!" Tara pulls Willow slightly away from Kelly and Buffy and quietly asks "What surprises me is Buffy, what's up there?"

Willow gets a huge grin on her face and leans in whispering in her ear "Buffy likes Kelly. I'll tell you all about that conversation later. There were hand motions and everything!" Willow is almost bouncing as she's talking about it.

Tara grins and nods her head. "This should be good. Come on, let's see if we can't help it along a little. And also help ourselves out a little." Tara states with a wiggle of her eyebrow.

"Anything you want, baby." Willow reaches in giving Tara a quick peck on the cheek while holding her hand.

"Uh, oh. I have a feeling those two aren't going to be with us for much longer." Kelly states looking over to where Willow and Tara are whispering and giggling to themselves, a short distance away.

Buffy glances quickly at the two witches and then brings her gaze back on Kelly. 'My God. I thought she looked good before. Who knew she would look so good in tight jeans, look at those long, muscular legs…mmm….firm looking stomach, great looking set of breasts spilling out, showing off one of the bras she bought yesterday….' Buffy's mind turns to complete mush by this point.

Kelly grins as she glances back towards Buffy and realizes that Buffy is off in her own little world again. "Buffy…Buffy… Yo Buffy!" Kelly finally snaps her fingers in front of Buffy's face to get the slayer's attention. "Are you okay?"

"What? Huh?" Buffy shakes her head realizing that she's spaced out. "Yeah, yeah. I'm okay. Just went away for a minute. Sorry. Did you say anything?"

Willow and Tara come up to Kelly and Buffy giggling and whispering in each others ears. "Hey, guys. Hope you two don't mind, but we were thinking about heading home. There's no good movies on at the theater tonight, anyway." Willow says with a big smile on her face.

Kelly looks at Tara, finally catching her eye and grins going "whoo, whoo, whoo, whooooo." Like a chimpanzee.

Tara blushes a deep red and then shrugs her shoulders "Gotta do what you gotta do. Come on honey, let's go. Did you drive?"

"Yep. Let's head out. See you two later?" Willow questions as she and Tara starts walking away.

"Sure, we will. Maybe we can get together next week for dinner when you two are free?" Buffy states smiling slightly, finally coming completely out of her fugue state.

Willow and Tara grin and wave as they walk off arm in arm.

"God, that's beautiful." Kelly smiles wistfully after the two witches. She glances over at Buffy and states "Well, what are we gonna do now? I've got some packages I need to get out of the lockers over there to take back to the house. And to tell you the truth, the movies that are showing at the Cineplex really don't look that hot. So…" Kelly trails off, hoping Buffy might come up with something.

Buffy stops tilting her head to the side for a moment thinking. "Well, we could pick up a couple movies to watch tonight after we get back from patrol. We could also pick up something to eat on the way home or while we're out on patrol. What do you think?"

"Well, let's go get the bags first" Kelly smiles nodding her head in the direction they need to go and as they are walking over to the lockers she states "Picking up a couple movies would be good. I'm getting hungry, I haven't had anything since breakfast this morning, so I would say let's either eat out or grab something to take back to the house."

Buffy grins "Sounds like a plan to me!"
