When Willow woke up again she saw that Tara too had fallen asleep.
Looking at the time the red head realized that it wasn't even sunset
yet! "What a pair we are" she laughed, noticing that she was feeling
perfectly fine now. "Maybe Mr. Klein was right about the sun
affecting me thing!" Looking at Tara though Willow forgot about
everything but how much she loved the girl. "Wait…love????…" As she
continued to stare at Tara's form Willow knew that it was love. The
more she thought about it the more she was convinced. She thought
about the consequences that a relationship with a woman could cause,
and it didn't matter. All she wanted was to be with this woman, to
hell with Hollywood. "It hasn't given too much back anyway!" She
wondered what time Tara had come home, and figured that the blonde
must have rushed home as soon as she could, knowing how she was! The
idea warmed Willow's heart. "Ha! And to think that I was planning on
telling Tara how I felt today! Imagine that…I * go hurl* love * go
hurl * you * go hurl* !!!! I'm sure she would've fallen for me with
that!!!" That was when Willow realized that Tara was still holding
onto her hand, and she fondled the back of Tara's hand with her
thumb. Rising from her place in Tara's lap Willow took a closer look
at Tara as she slept, " It's funny how I keep stopping at her lips! "
she thought dryly, and wondered how it would feel to kiss Tara and
have her kiss her back. "To kiss her all over…" she thought dreamily.
Tara chose that moment to rejoin the world. Her eyes fluttered open
and they clearly registered surprise that Willow was the first thing
that she saw when she woke. Then she remembered what happened and
smiled at Willow. "Hey" she said in a voice heavy with sleep. "How
are you feeling now?"
"Oh much better!" Willow said, returning the smile. "I think it was
just all the sun I got these past few days that really caused all the
problems."
"You're sure you're fine then?" Tara asked as she sat up and
stretched. Willow just managed to nod her head as her eyes followed
every move that Tara made. "Good" Tara said, now giving Willow all
her attention "Because I'm very mad at you!" she finished with a
frown.
"Huh?" Willow said, confused and not liking the frown that graced
Tara's features.
"Why the hell didn't you call me as soon as you started feeling sick
Willow???" Tara demanded.
"Well…I didn't wanna disturb you while you were working Tara…" Willow
said, not looking Tara's way at all.
Willow waited for Tara to say something, still not looking her way.
when after a few seconds Tara still hadn't said anything Willow
glanced her way and the hurt in Tara's eyes almost tore Willow's
heart apart.
"Disturbed? Is that what you think I would have been if you called
Willow?" Tara asked, her voice full of sorrow.
Willow couldn't bear to see the pain that she'd caused Tara and
without thinking she pulled Tara into her arms and cradled her. "No"
Willow whispered. " I was sick remember? Who thinks logically when
they're sick? I promise, next time I even sneeze you're the first
person I'll call. Ok?" she asked, smoothening Tara's hair with one
hand as she held onto her with the other. She felt Tara relax against
her, and held on tight.
Tara snuggled her head onto Willow's shoulder and they sat that way
for a few moments before Tara whispered " I'm sorry for getting mad
at you Willow."
"No…don't be sorry Tara…you have every right to get mad at me when I
act stupid…" Willow said, planting a kiss on the top of Tara's head.
Tara froze. Pulling back she looked straight into Willow's
eyes. "This is it" she thought, deciding that she was going to tell
Willow that she loved her right there and then. Tell her about how
she had spent many sleepless nights thinking about her, how she was
perpetually on her mind, how she had freaked when Willow had called
saying that she wasn't well…everything.
Without realizing it both moved in, their lips inching closer...both
were breathing in each others scents…
The phone rang breaking the spell. Tara and Willow stared at each
other stunned. Then Tara reached over and picked up the
cordless. "Hello?...oh yeah…hi Buffy. I'm good…you? Yeah…Willow? Yeah
she's right here…hold on…" Tara handed the receiver to Willow before
wordlessly making her way out of the room.
"Hey" Willow said.
"Hi" Buffy sounded excited. "So did you tell her???"
Willow let out a deep breath, and tried to keep the frustration outta
her voice as she said "No."
