Chapter 9
"So, tell me about the conversation you and Buffy had today!" Tara asks Willow with a huge grin on her face as they walk in their house. "I am so excited that Buffy likes Kelly!"
Willow gets a wicked grin. "Well she hemmed and hawed around for a while before finally blurting out that she liked her. When she was describing how nice, funny, good looking Kelly was…." Willow hesitates here looking at Tara's breasts she grins even bigger and reaches forward grasping her lover's breasts with the same motions Buffy had used. "She made these type grabbing motions in the air before she realized what she was doing and embarrassed herself!"
Tara glances down at the hands on her breasts and back up at Willow, her eyes heavily lidded. "Hmmm. Honey. I thought we were going to talk about what happened today."
Willow grins and runs her hands down to the bottom of Tara's top gently grabbing it and pulling it off her lover. "Talked enough, want action!" Willow growls unhooking Tara's bra and attacking Tara's breasts with her lips and teeth.
Tara groans and then laughs. 'Oh, yeah. Hot monkey loving is about right.'
Kelly leans back away from the kitchen island patting her stomach. "That was excellent. When you said that Chinese place had good food, you weren't kidding."
Buffy grins as she finishes eating her Hunan Beef. "One of my staples. I stop there quite frequently on my way home from patrol. They've got good food and they're open late."
"Oh, but that was before. Now you're going to start eating more balanced meals. I have a feeling you probably only eat one meal a day and live off caffeine and the occasional candy bar, right?" Kelly asks with a raised eyebrow shaking her finger chidingly at Buffy, daring Buffy to disagree.
"Not entirely true" Buffy states straightening up and pouting. "Occasionally I have a bag of chips too."
They both break down laughing at that comment. Kelly shakes her head grinning to herself thinking gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.
"So…" Buffy hesitates looking from her plate up to Kelly and back down again. 'Should I ask how things went today. I mean it seems that Kelly and Tara were laughing and having a good time. Maybe things weren't as bad as I thought they were.'
Kelly patiently waits to see what Buffy was going to say. And waits, and waits. "Buffy, you actually have to state your question out loud for me to hear it." Kelly smirks.
Buffy throws her napkin at Kelly and groans. "I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing."
"Wrong thing, right thing. How do you know which is which if you never say it?" Kelly states with a shrug of her shoulder. "How about this, I'll say something and that way I can put my foot in my mouth first, how's that?"
Buffy nods her head enthusiastically. "Works for me. I usually put my foot in my mouth all the time. I would gladly let you do it this time."
Kelly grins shaking her head at Buffy. "Well…Tara made a comment earlier but wouldn't go into details. I don't think she actually meant to say anything to me, it kind of slipped out when we were talking…" Kelly hesitates looking at Buffy, wondering if she should continue, or not.
"Go ahead." Encourages Buffy.
"Well, how exactly does a Vampire Slayer fall in love with a vampire?" Kelly asks bluntly.
Buffy's eyes open wide and then she thinks about it and starts too laugh. "You know what? After all these years, I've started wondering that myself. All I can figure out is that it had something to do with it being unattainable. Romeo and Juliet type romance. Don't get me wrong, I loved Angel, but it was doomed from the beginning. I can actually see that now. Even without the whole losing his soul thing."
"Losing his soul?" Kelly asks questioningly.
Buffy shakes her head. "This is going to be a long conversation. How about we have it while we patrol?"
"I'm easy. Oh, do you have the ingredients for the spell? If you want we can do it to whatever items you want done before we go out on patrol?" Kelly asks thinking that it would be a good thing for Buffy to be able to take something else besides a stake with her in case she needs it.
"Ooh, yeah. The ingredients are on the coffee table and I can grab the items I want all spelled up first." Buffy bounces up out of the seat heading out of the kitchen.
Kelly laughs as she grabs up the trash and puts it in the bin. As she heads out of the kitchen to head upstairs to change and get the other items that she needs she looks at Buffy bending over her weapons chest in the living room and grins. 'That girl has an entirely scrumptious ass.' Shaking her head to herself she runs upstairs.
"Buffy, do you think you got enough of the ingredients?" Kelly laughs while questioning Buffy.
"Well, you said something about ten items, and I have a lot of weapons that I will eventually like to have you do the spell on, that is if you don't mind?" Buffy shyly grins at the tall woman.
"Buffy, I don't mind doing the spell. But if you ever need someone else to use any of the items, you won't want to have them done." Kelly states reasonably.
"But you see, that's the great thing. I have something like fifteen swords, four or five cross bows, thousands of bolts for them, so many knives that I can't even count, not to mention stakes and other stuff. The rest of the gang have some of that stuff to varying degrees of quantity at their house, too. So we can spell up all kinds of weapons!" Buffy states with a huge grin on her face.
Kelly just laughs and shakes her head. "Okay, I have the ingredients ready to do ten items to begin with, all I need is a couple drops of your blood for me to do the spell. So grab the ten items you want to do the most first, okay? We can do more items later this week."
Buffy stops and looks at all her weapons and finally reaches in, grabbing her favorite crossbow. 'I don't really need to have the bolts be invisible just yet. I can have her do that at a later date.' Then Buffy grabs a sword and scabbard, a couple knives, a few stakes stopping to think 'I know what else, it would be great to have a bag to put all this stuff in, I'll go get my small duffle bag to carry some of the extra gear in that I won't be able to carry on me.'
"I'll be right back" Buffy grins as she runs upstairs and a few seconds later she comes down carrying her bag and another crossbow. "I decided it wouldn't hurt to have two crossbows be invisible. Keep one upstairs and one down here."
Kelly grins at her and just says "Whatever you want Buffy. It's your decision. Now, if you're sure that's all you want done?"
Buffy nods her head double-checking everything that she has gathered lying together across the coffee table. "Yep, I think that's it." She walks around to where she's standing besides Kelly. She puts her hand out to where it's over the bowl of ingredients.
"Want me to prick your finger, or do you want to do it yourself?" Kelly questions.
"You can do it. I get hurt enough, I don't want to inflict pain on myself if I don't have too!" Buffy jokes.
"Well, hopefully it won't hurt much." Kelly says while she gently grasps Buffys hand holding it directly over the bowl and picks up a sharp thin-bladed knife that she had sterilized earlier and gently pricks Buffy's finger and lets two drops of blood drop into the bowl and then gently presses her thumb over the prick to stop the flow of blood. "Want me to kiss it and make it better?" Kelly grins at Buffy looking from her finger to her hazel eyes.
Buffy's heart almost stops at that comment. "I-I, uhhh…" Buffy just trails off, looking from Kelly's dark brown eyes to her full lips.
"Sorry, I guess I should tone it down, huh?" Kelly says with a self-deprecating smile while releasing Buffy's hand. Kelly picks up the bowl, mixing the blood in with the other ingredients repeating the small incantation then taking the mixture and anointing all the items Buffy had laid out on the coffee table while Buffy watches in fascination.
"There you go. All done up. You should be able to take these items with you anywhere and only be detected by the two of us. Want to take them out and give them a test drive?" Kelly grins slightly while heading into the kitchen to clean the items she used for the spell.
Buffy is literally bouncing on the balls of her feet in excitement. "Yep. I'll get all my gear on and then see if anyone notices anything. This is so unbelievable. Kelly, I really appreciate you doing this for me."
Kelly walks out of the kitchen shaking her head. "It wasn't much Buffy. Just giving you a better chance at fighting evil. A stake just doesn't get it done all the time and a sword could mean the difference between you making it out of a fight alive. So, personally I would rather you be here, I enjoy embarrassing you too much for you not to be!"
Buffy hesitates for a moment debating, then figures what the hell "Damn, you do that just to embarrass me? I was kind of hoping you were flirting with me." She says half teasingly, half seriously.
Kelly snaps her head up looking at Buffy gauging how serious she is. 'Does she want me to flirt with her? She hasn't actually pulled away from me at any time now that I think about it. Hmm.' Kelly decides she'll push a little and see what happens. "Well…If I say I was flirting with you, would I get my head handed to me on a platter?"
Crossing her arms, looking menacingly at Kelly, however she can't keep the look up and starts to grin. "Actually, I kind of like you flirting with me. I didn't even realize it till I was talking with Willow earlier today. That you were flirting with me, not that I liked it. I mean… Ugggh!" Buffy trails off wondering if she's going to dig herself in a deeper hole if she continues.
Kelly slowly smiles watching Buffy. She eases closer in and leans down slightly, catching Buffy's eyes. "So, you like my flirting with you. Exactly how far am I allowed to go with this flirting before I cross any lines, hmm? Can I do this, without crossing a line?" Kelly asks as she gently reaches out with the back of her fingers and runs it lightly down the slayers cheek around the jaw line gently brushing her thumb across Buffy's bottom lip.
Buffy closes her eyes and melts on the inside at the tender touch. Taking a shaky breath she finally opens her eyes and softly smiles. "No line crossing yet. But, and I really do hate to say this, we should go out and do a quick patrol."
'Looks like I do have a chance, after all.' Kelly thinks to herself and smiles back at Buffy. "Yeah, let's head out. Go kill some evil demony things, continue the conversation about vampire slayers falling in love with vampires" Kelly wiggles her eyebrows at Buffy at that and Buffy just turns a light shade of pink as they head out on patrol.
