Sitting here watching all of you guys guess is fairly amussing. But I'm not going to tell you.

But I did pick the roommate out before I even started the story.



I'll give you some hints though:

Brown hair,

Hazel eyes

Some may call her a 'specific garden tool, starts with an 'h''

She's been around for a while...







I cant do anymore without blurting...



Have fun guessing kittens. Im sure this will bug you all day while you stuff yourselves with turkey!

[allykat]

Oh, THAT garden tool!!

[TaraBaby77]

Okay, okay, I think I got the garden tool hint . But, there are only a few people that come to mind and I don't know which one it would be. Come on, just post another update to kill this suspense!!! Please!?!?!? Anyhoo, great story, keep it comin'... =)

Chapter 7



“You have got to be kidding me!” Willow said, throwing her arms down at her sides for emphasis.



“No joke. I’m no more excited than you.” Her roommate said to her, shrugging.



“Since when did you apply here?” Willow asked her.



“Since this was the only place I could get a scholarship?”



“For what, extreme bitchyness?!” Willow yelled. Scholarships were her thing.



“For academics! I’m not as dumb as I look.”



“Well you’d think about how often you look in the mirror you’d see how dumb you look.” Willow stated simply. Looking around as she tried to come up with the best comeback possible.



“Willow. I really don’t want to fight. I thought maybe we could get along. After all, we’re stuck together.”



“Look. I’m sorry. Maybe we can get along.” Willow said shrugging as she stepped forward shutting the door. She headed towards her bed. “So, what’s new, Cordelia…”



~*~*~*~*~*



Tara sat on her bed, her eyes wide open, yet almost closed. She was so excited. A smile never left her face. She set her alarm for 6, so she could wake up with time to shower and dress and be all pretty for Willow. Her heart began to pound with the sound of that name.



Tara’s smile never ceased, as she slowly fell into slumber.



*~*~*~*~**~*~*



“So, what’d you do all summer?” Willow asked Cordelia. The two of them had talked for almost an hour already.



“I worked almost all summer. For spending cash for money.” Cordy said to her.



“That’s cool. I just hung out.”



“Always fun.” She said, nodding. “Where were you all day?”



“Oh. I uh…” Willow hesitated, not knowing if she should out herself already to Cordy. But she decided too, because she didn’t intend on keeping her soon to be relationship with Tara a secret. “I was hanging out with a girl I have a crush on.”



“That’s cool. My boyfriend’s sister is gay.”



“Neat.” Willow said, a little shocked that Cordelia was so understanding. “I actually have a date in the morning, so I should get to sleep.”



“Alright. Well, goodnight then.”



“Night.” Willow said shutting off the light.



~*~**~*~*~*

That one was really short, but I promise soon…

TBC- The date…



That one will be really soon. I plan on writing it as soon as I post this one.



Feedback?

Hey guys. Thanks for all of the replies. I know I promised an update last nite, but my computer shut down as I wrote the last sentence of the fic.



So I'll try again now, and then we'll see if my computer likes me today.

But I’ll do my best.



Same disclaimers as before.

(Jack's also a fiction character. He's Tara's brother. Tara's background will be explained throughout the whole fic. But for now, just know that Jack's Tara's sister, and that they are close.)







Chapter 8







Willow awake at six o’clock, from pure exhilaration of the thought of the day. She thought she should shower before calling. She didn’t think Tara would be up yet. She got mostly undressed and put on her bathrobe, grabbed her toiletry bag, towel and everything else she thought she’d need and then she was on her way.



~*~**~*~*~~



Tara woke up from the shrill sound of her alarm at six. At first she hesitated to open her eyes. Then she remembered why she was waking up so early. She quickly sat up from her bed. Grabbed all of her toiletry things and left her room.

~*~**~*~**~*~*



In the showering block Willow saw a lot of people. Coed bathrooms aren’t really a necessary privlidge when you’re gay. Willow thought.



~*~**~*~**~**~



At exactly 8:30 Willow returned to her room, make up applied, only a little though. Willow wasn’t all into make up. Which was a good thing, because everyone around her knew she was a natural beuaty. Especcially Tara.

All she had to do now was get dressed.



~*~**~*~*~*



Tara got back to her room at 8:17. She was fully ready, clothed with hair dried. She sat down on her bed and anxiously awaited Willow’s call.



At 8:30 she got out her book. She knew Willow wouldn't stand her up. She just knew she was getting kinda antsy.



At 8:57 Tara’s cell phone rang. She bolted for it.



“Hello?” She answered.



“Hey Tara.” Came her brother Jack’s voice.



“Jack. Whats up?”



“I was just seeing if you wanted to come out to breakfast with me and my new girlfriend. I though you’d like to meet her. Plus,” he added. “I haven’t seen my baby sister on campus yet.



“I’ve been around. And as for breakfast, I kind of already have a date.”



“Really? Tara that’s great. I want to meet her. Sometime. After you guys decide I can meet her. And after I actually see you.” He said with mock sarcasm and teasing.



“Okay. I get it.” Tara said. “I’d love to meet your girlfriend. But my date’s supposed to call this line. So I’ll call your cell after.”



“Okay. Have fun.”



“Bye.”



Tara hung up with her brother and just as soon the phone rang again.



“Hello?”



“Hey!” Willow said on the other side of the line.



“Good morning.”



“You too.” Willow said. “So, would you like to be breakfast bound with me?”



“Of course.” Tara stated simply.



“I’ll come over there, and then we can go out.”



“Do you want me to come over there?”



“Nope. I asked you out, I get to be the guy.”



Tara just laughed. “Okay. I’ll see you in a few.”



~**~*~*~*~**



Approximatly four minutes later Tara heard a knock on her door. It was Willow.



“Wow.” Willow said as Tara opened the door.



“Thank you.” Tara said as she leaned forward to hug Willow.



“Anytime.” Willow said, letting herself fall into the hug.



Tara pulled back and looked at Willow, “So breakfast?”



“Uh-huh.” Willow held her hand out and Tara took it more than willingly. They laced their fingers and were on their way.



~**~*~**~*~



They reached the restaurant about fifteen minutes later. They got themselves a table and were involved in instant conversation. Willow of course started them off.



“Oh! My roommate.”



“What about her?” Tara said, taking a sip of her orange juice.



“I know her! She made fun of me all through high school!”



“Aw. I’m sorry.” Tara said rubbing Willow’s hand with the pad of her thumb.



“She was actually nice last nite though. I told her I had a date with a female. A very pretty female if I do say so myself.” Willow said with a wink. “And all that she said was that her boyfriend’s sister is gay.”



“That was very nice of her.”



“Very. So how about you? Any interesting things.”



“Just one.”



“Oh yeah?” Willow asked, intrigued.



“Yeah.” Tara said as she leaned across the table and gave Willow a chaste kiss. “Just that.”



“Is that on the menu. ‘Cuz I think I might just want that for breakfast.” Willow said flipping through the menu jokingly.



“I think it’s on the free buffet.” Tara teased.



“Ohh. I can live with that.” Willow said as she leaned forward and kissed Tara a little more forcefully than the first kiss, but still heartfelt and gentle.



Pretty much the rest of the date went like that.

Until they got to Tara’s dorm.



“Hey Tara?” Willow said as Tara started to fiddle for her keys.



“Yeah?”



“Tomorrow’s the first day of classes. Do you think I could take you out to dinner after all of the classes?”



“No.”



“What?” Willow said shocked.



“I’d like to take you this time.” She said as she brought her face down to Willow’s as she pressed their lips together.



“Mmm. Sounds good.” Willow said.



“Call me later, if you get bored or something.”



“Will do.” Willow said as she leaned forward to kiss Tara one more time. This kiss was so full of passion neither girl wanted to let go. But relentlessly pulled away.



Willow was off with a skip in her step.

Chapter 9



At about nine o’clock Tara was sitting in her dorm. She was reading a book. The day went by fairly fast. She met up with some friends she knew through her brother. Of course told them all about Willow. As she recalled the day she smiled. Willow hadn’t left her head all day.



Ring. Ring. Her cell phone began to ring loudly. She placed her book down and went over to it.



“Hello?”



“Hey there.” Willow yelped happily. “What’s going on, gorgeous?”



“Willow! What’s up?”



“Well. You said to call when I got bored. And if my definition of boredem is correct, then that’s what I am.”



“You wanna come over?”



“I hoping you would want to go for a walk.”



“Could we do both?”



“Most definatly. Walk first?” Willow asked.



“Sure. Want to meet in the courtyard?”



“That’s a pretty big courtyard.”



“I’ll find you.” Tara stated simply, right before she hung up.



~*~*~*~*~**~*



Tara sat down in front of a huge oak tree in the court yard. She was plenty pleased with herself about the whole hard-to-get tactic. A smile crossed her lips as she felt hands over her eyes.



“Guess who?” Came a mock deep voice.



“My boyfriend that I don’t have?” Tara threw back at the redhead.



“Better not have, Miss Maclay!” Willow said as she threw herself around in front of Tara and kissed her soundly on the lips.



“Mmm. Delicious.” Tara sighed as she opened her eyes. “So, what did you want to do.”



“Talk. Cuddle. Maybe the occassional kiss.”



“All of those sound great to me.”



Willow moved her body in front of Tara and Tara patted her lap. Willow sat down in between the blonde’s legs as Tara rapped her arms around her.



It already felt so right.



The two of them sat there intwined for almost an hour. Willow was fully comfortable, her left leg over Tara’s and her right bent a little so Tara’s body could engulf her’s. Tara’s arms around Willow’s stomach with Willow’s fingered interlaced with her’s.



“We should go inside.”



“Oh god. Am I like killing your legs?” Willow yelled.



“No. Oh god no, not at all. Its just pitch dark out and we’re gunna catch colds.”



“Right. Right.”



“Do you want me to come back to your room?” Willow asked.



“If you want to. Of course.”



“Lets go.” Willow said as she untangled herself with Tara and stood up. She reached her arms out in front of her to help Tara up.



“Why thank you.” Tara said with a smile.



“Off we go.”



~*~*~**~**



They got to Tara’s room and were instantly laying atop Tara’s sheets. A single sheet draped over them, cuddled together. Willow’s head was resting on Tara’s left shoulder and her arm was draped across her stomach. The blonde’s hands were wrapped and Willow. Her left hand was stroking Willow’s gorgeous red hair.



“Thank you.” Willow whispered.



“For what?”



“Everything.”



Tara placed a gentle kiss on Willow’s forehead. And as soon as she knew it, she had dozed off.



~*~*~*~~**~



Tara awoke in bed, alone. She rubbed her eyes and stiffled a yawn as she stood. She saw a note on her desk, it read;



Tara,

Last night we fell asleep in eachother’s arms. It was the most incredable night I could’ve even hoped for.

So thank you, Tara. It meant the world. And you gave me the world. I’ll call you later.



Yours,

Willow.



At the bottom was scribbled Willow’s cell phone number and her dorm number.



Tara’s eyes were glazed over and she was holding back tears.



Was it too soon to chase down Willow and ravage her on the spot?



Most likely.



Would she thank her later?



Most definately.
