"Hey Buffy! im over here" the redhead called from a distance
"Hey Will! been lookin all over for you! i need to tell you somethin" the Slayer yelled across the little coffee shop. It was full of people as it usually is on monday mornings. Buffy had been out all night looking for spike.She needed to talk to her best friend about it, but everytime she came near Willow all she could think of was how good she smelled. Or how the sun seemed to dance on her perfectly soft complextion. Buffy loved everything about Willow, ever since that day she saw her drinking at the fountain. Even when she was with Angel, her secret disire had always been Willow. What a beautiful name...
"Buffy! Buffy!" Willow wondered to herself why her best friend had zoned out as soon as she sat down...look at her....those blue eyes,that blonde hair that shined in the moonlight. "She'll never want me" Willow thought to her self.
" O sorry Will, it was a long night" Buffy said regaining her awareness "I was out looking for Spike, cant seem to find him anywhere" Buffy cringed on the mention of his name. Ever since the night she first slept with him she had been regreting it inside her. She didnt feel right with him, yeh he was a nice convienence, but it wasnt love. What the Slayer craved the most was the touch of a smooth skined,fiery red head that she shared a dorm with."I think he may be upset with me"
"Well Buff, i dont know what to tell ya. Spike just has issues, you know with the whole being undead thing" Willow enjoyed seeing the smile on her friends face. Thats what she looks foreward to everyday.
"Yeh, i know thats what im worried about, he hasnt been very stable since he had his soul restored" Buffy said with a lack of emotion. Buffy just sat there talking, but not really registering what she was saying. Her mind was more focused on her growing desire to take willow by the hand and lead her up the coridor to their room. This could never be, they had always been just friends."Well hey Will, ill see you at home later, im gonna go see if Giles has any info on Spike."
Willow smiled "Ok Buff, ill be home later after i drop by the magic box, Anya said she just got a shipment in. Said id be interested" The witch gathered her books and finished the rest of her frothy mocha.
"Uh.....Will?"
"Yes?"
Buffy felt her face turning red,"Can i get a hug?"
"Sure sweety" Willow winked "You know, you can have more than that Buff" Willow reached over and kissed the slayer on her cheek. She loved being close to her. The sweet smell of her vanilla perfume mixed with the unique smell that was Buffy.
Buffy felt a shock go through her at the touch of Willows lips, even though she knew the redhead was just being friendly. Then she watched as Willow bounced off her hair catching every ray of sunlight.

At the Magic Box Anya was busy opening boxes and going through several charms and books. She dropped a statue of Vishnu on her foot when the bell to the door dinged.
"Willow! now, look what you made me do. Im injured again great!, isnt there a limit on the number of times humans can get hurt before withering and dieing?" Anya whined.
Willow just stood there for a second letting the blonde go off on her. Her thoughts were still focused on other things. She wanted to get what shes here for and get home...home...buffy......her sinking into a bubble ba..
"Willow?!?" Anya seemed a little insulted "Hello? is anyone there? im injured over here!"
"O...im sorry Anya, must be the moon my mind hasnt been here all day. Are you all right?" the redhead asked sincerely concerned.
"Yeh, i guess i'll live. What were you thinking about anyways?"
The witch was taken off guard. She knew not to hesitate. Anya always catches it and she has no problem pointing out the obvious. "Just.....about my classes" she said feeling better that they were alone.
"hmm yeh sure Willow, it didnt have anything to do with a certain Slayer we both know?
"Um......well, i.....well damn i guess i cant hide it from you" willow sighed finnaly giving up. She knew Anya had it figured out. And a part of her wanted people to know. She wanted to take the hand of that wonderful blonde slayer and tell everyone they were together.
"Thats more like it Willow, all of us can see that you two have something going on" Anya pointed out
Willow began to realise to herself how much she really loved Buffy. "yeh i know Anya, i think tonight is gonna be the night i will prove it to her" She looked over and the blonde was just standing there with that "i knew that already" look on her face. Willow thanked her for the supplys and briskly exited the magic box.

Buffy walked swiftly toward her watchers house. Her head was racing with thoughts. The most prominant one was the incident at the coffee shop. She had completely let herself go. That had only happened once before, when she was alone in her shower late at night. The thoughts she had of willow were supposed to remain that, late night fantasies. But today she had brought them out of the dark. Put them on a plate for anyone to clearly read. The slayer wondered wether or not her best friend could see the obvious. She was a Wicca after all, they could see things or at least thats what shes read. Buffy was quickly snapped back into this reality by her foot meeting a very large crevice in the sidewalk. Her body started to fall, but before she could think, a mans hand grabbed onto hers and pulled her to saftey. The blonde looked up and regognised the face immediately. It was her father figure, her protector, her watcher. It was Giles.
"Whoa there, you might want to watch those erm, crevices, they can be quite, erm, hazardous." Giles said with a smile, happy to have run into his slayer. He was always happy to see her. That first day he saw the stunning blonde she about took his breath away. Come to think of it, he probably wouldnt studder so much if it werent for her. But she was well worth the incesent onslaught of erms and umms.
"Hey Giles, i can only stay a few minutes. Have you seen Spike around lately?" She said as she regained her balance and striaghtened her skirt. She didnt want to let on that she was so worried about Spike for fear of Giles finding out she had slept with him.
"ehhhmm no i havent heard from him."
"Well i better head home then, you know, to recover from my near death expierence." Buffy laughed as she gave her Watcher a kiss on the cheek and a friendly hug. She loved him, he was always there for her, always supported her ideas. She wondered if maybe he would disown her when he found out she loved a woman. Well no time to think, she had a redhead at home waitin for her.

Willow opened the door to her and Buffy's dorm room. The smell inside the small room as that of lingering vanilla. She breathed in deeply loving how that rich, yet faint smell reminded her of her Buffy. She paused for a moment realising what she had just thought. "My" Buffy? She had never thought of the slayer as her own. Plenty of times had she dreamed of her claiming the blonde as her own. The smell of her skin, the muscles that ripple under her soft, silky skin. Willow stopped herself as she put the paper sack on the table. She proceeded to empty the bag. Pulling out a bottle of expensive wine, a few red candles, and a CD that would set the mood. She was set on this plan. Tonight she would show Buffy how much she thought of her. Tonight she would have no fear.Tonight she would be smooth. Tonight, she was going to make love to her.
With the candles lit, the music turned on, Willow had just slipped into a little red, lacy nightie. She was so nervous that her body was shaking from head to toe. She heard the lock to the door begin to click. Willow stood there, exposed and ready to give into her passions. The door slowly opened and with every passing second, Willow could feel her heart jump another inch higher into her throat. She had a growing urge to jump in front of the door and lock it. The seconds past as if time had been thrown into slow motion. A long, thin muscular leg and stepped inside followed by another.
"Willow?" Buffy whispered into the dark room. In one corner she saw three white candles burning. The glow of the flickering flame danced like water on the ceiling of the room. The sounds of romantic music filled her ears. She glanced toward the bed. The Slayer was almost knocked to the floor as she laid her eyes upon the most beautiful thing god created. Willow was lieing on the bed, draped in red. Her silky skin shone in the fading light.
No words were exchanged. Just the look of pure longing in each girls eyes. Buffy threw her handbag to the ground and slowly climbed onto the the bed. Willow leaned in taking in each and every movement the blonde made. Their faces were inches apart. Willow leaned over and let her hot, steamy breath flood onto Buffys radiant neck. She left trails of soft, wet kisses from her neck, to her ears. She moved her hand up and cupped Buffy's breast. It was so full, so soft. Each curve of this wonderful woman could be seen in the dim room.

"O Buffy, i love you so much, i was so afriad to tell you" Willow said as she opened her eyes. She had dreamt of this for years, waking up to the wonderful sight of the slayer in her arms.
"I love you to Will." Buffy replied kissing the redhead on the lips, a soft, intimate kiss.
