Part 16 - Complicated

They were outside of the coffee shop now and they were walking side by side not really knowing how to react until Willow wasn't hanging anymore so she took Tara's hands in hers and continue walking as nothing much has just happen. Tara was surprised to feel Willow's hand in hers but it felt good. They were just having a good time and laughing of their embarrassment of each other.

They were getting to Tara's hotel when they were holding hands and laughing. Willow looked to the direction of her hotel and there she was, standing in front of Willow and Tara. Kennedy.

Kennedy froze when she saw Willow holding hands and having a good time with somebody else in the middle of the morning.

Willow was also in shock, she looked at Tara and she was with a face that she knew that that woman was Kennedy.

Kennedy started to run and Willow looked at Tara …"I'm so sorry." Willow let go Tara's hand and started to run after Kennedy.

"Kennedy please wait... let me explain." Willow started to run after Kennedy and she notice that Kennedy was slowing down so she came closer.

Kennedy was so confused, she didn't expect that Willow could do such a thing like that and she wouldn't let it go that easy. So she stopped and Willow was getting closer to take Kennedy's arms. Kennedy turned around and slapped Willow on the face and pushed her on the ground. "Willow! How can you do this to me? Sleeping with that bitch!"

Willow was on the ground with her hand on her face. Tara was seeing all that and couldn't let Kennedy treat Willow like that, something made Tara strong and she ran to where Willow and Kennedy were, which was not far. "Hey!" Kennedy looked at Tara.

There's something with Tara that when Willow is involved she becomes quite violent. Tara looked at Kennedy and without any words she slapped Kenney's face. Kenney was not letting it be free so when she was going to hit Tara...

"Stop, please stop, both of you." Willow said in pain.

Kennedy wasn't interested if she has slayer strength, if that woman was hitting on Willow she was going to get hurt, but with Willow words she stopped and started to look Tara with a threatening face. Tara helped Willow get up and said.

"Kennedy three things, first, Willow didn't cheat on you; second, I'm not a bitch I'm Tara; and third, do not never EVER hit Willow again. Understood?"

Kennedy was lost on her second point and very confused she asked.

"What? Are you out of your mind? If I remember well Tara is dead."

"I was..."

"What?" Kennedy was getting more and more confused...

"It's a long history..." Tara said faced to Kennedy not showing any kinda of fear.

"Oh really blonde? I THINK I have the time."

"Look it's early, you better keep you voice down."

Willow didn't know what to do, she wanted to stop but didn't know who to do that without making it worse.

"Hey! Don't tell me what to do, you don't..."

"God! Stop! Both of you, just don't..." Willow was crying a lot...

As they were almost in front of Willow's hotel Buffy was hearing some noise and went outside.

"What is going on here?" And then she saw the three of them and understood really fast. "Oh god...Kennedy inside..."

"What? No!" Kennedy started to say it back but Buffy interrupted

"NOW!" Buffy said shouting.

Kennedy looked angry to Buffy but she knew that if she stays a little more time there she could do something stupid so she went inside.

Buffy turned to Willow and Tara. "I'll let you guys talk, I'll be with Kennedy inside..."

They nodded and Buffy entered in the hotel.

"I'm sorry." Tara said.

"If someone should say sorry here should be me… ah... she never did that before, well she never had seen me with another girl before...so…"

"Listen Will, I'm still so sorry for everything and I think I should..."

"Tara wait...I...I had a great time." Willow said with a smile.

"Will...you can imagine how great was to talk to you again, see you again, but you have a life now and I don't want to be on your way..." Tara said walking away.

"What that mean?" Willow said stopping Tara by getting in front of her.

Tara came closer to Willow and hold her face.

"Willow I want you to promise me something..."

"What?"

"Be happy... for me… do you promise me?"

"Tara? Why are you saying that?"

"Just promises me, please..."

"I promise but..."

Tara kissed Willow's forehead, when she apart she gave Willow a smile. "Thank you. You'll always be with me" Tara moved away from Willow and started to walk away...

"Tara! No! Wait, where are you going?" Willow started to run after Tara.

"Willow please don't make it harder than already it is."

"What? No! I don't want you gone."

"You have a new life now Willow, even though what I saw today I can see that she cares about you so I'd better stay out."

"No...Tara.. no... but... but... you've said that you still love me."

"I do...but now...it's not just me."

"So...what? You're just gonna give up on me?"

"Willow you don't know how hard this is for me and..."

"And you don't think this is hard for me?"

"Of course I know that's why I'm making it easier."

"Oh well, you leaving make it painful."

"I'm sorry..."

"NO! I won't let you leave me like that! I can't, I wanna see you later."

"Willow..."

"Please, Tara, don't leave me, I wanna be with you."

"What about Kennedy?"

"Ah...I...I..."

"See Willow, you're confused and I don't want to make it more so I'm..."

"Don't finish that sentence! And.… I'll talk to her."

"Ok..." Tara said.

"So... you won't leave me right?"

"Hum… I guess I'll talk to you latter then..."

"Promise me?"

"I promise you."

"Ok..." Willow said smiling. "I'd better be going now...to talk to.."

"Yeah...see you latter?"

"Definitely."

Willow smiled and got back into the hotel.
