Part three
'indicates thoughts'
Buffy had just poured herself a cup of coffee, when she heard a cough from behind her.
Turning, she rolled her eyes when she saw Xander.
"Ah, hey."
Buffy sighed and closed her eyes before handing him a coffee cup.
"Where's Anya?"
Xander took his coffee and sat on the stool across from his teacher.
"Taking a shower."
They both sat looking at each other, neither knowing what to say.
When it became too uncomfortable, Xander broke his silence.
"This place is amazing."
Buffy looked up from her cooling coffee.
"Yeah, well, I like my space."
He whistled and looked around the kitchen they were sitting in. It was fitted with all the latest appliances and was about twice the size of his bedroom at home.
They were saved from more awkwardness when Anya walked in, Buffy rolling her eyes at her friend.
"Morning Buffy."
Buffy just looked at her before rolling her eyes and standing up.
"I'm going to pick up more paints before I have to collect Willow."
Anya perked up and stopped kissing Xander.
"Willow's coming with us?"
Buffy shrugged, not knowing if bringing the redhead was a good idea.
"Well, I figured that you would be bringing Xander, so I asked Willow. It will save me from being left to my own devices while you drag him off somewhere."
Anya thought about it before realising Buffy had a point.
"Alright, are we meeting you two there then?"
Buffy looked between them, noticing the look in their eyes when they looked at each other.
"Try to at least not be too late." Smirking at them, she left them to it, knowing that they hadn't heard her at all.
-----
Willow opened the door with a smile on her face, until she noticed the look on Buffy's face.
"You okay?"
Buffy snapped out of her thoughts, which happened to involve the redhead before her. She had to get over this thing and quickly. There was so much wrong with it, she didn't know where to start.
'So why can't I stop thinking about her?'
"Oh, ah yeah I'm good. You ready?"
Willow nodded her head and grabbed her bag.
"So, did you have an extra house-guest this morning?"
Buffy rolled her eyes and laughed a little, remembering the look on Xander's face when he had first entered the kitchen.
"Yeah, I'm going to have to have a word with Anya at some point."
Willow frowned and looked over at blonde before her eyes widened when she saw the car.
"Wow."
Buffy followed her gaze and smiled.
"2005 Porsche Carrera GT, sleek and sexy. Plus, it's a convertible. You like?"
Willow nodded her head quickly and Buffy looked between the car and the redhead.
"If you want, you can take it for a spin later on."
Willow squealed and started jumping up and down on the spot.
Buffy laughed at her and unlocked the car, opening Willow's door for her.
"I'll take that as a yes. Okay, later on tonight, you can have a spin around town."
Willow suddenly got a worried look on her face.
"What if I crash it?"
Buffy clipped her seat belt on and shook her head.
"Can you drive?"
Willow nodded her head.
"Then you'll be fine, plus I'll be with you the entire time."
Smiling, Willow relaxed into her seat, and her earlier question came back to her.
"What do you need to talk to Anya about Xander for?"
Buffy looked away, knowing that what she was going to say, was as much for Anya's benefit, as her own.
"If she is going to keep seeing Xander, then she's going to have to do it somewhere other than my home. How's it going to look if I have male students staying overnight?"
Willow nodded her head that it was a valid point, before the imp in her made her tease the blonde.
"So they wouldn't say anything if it was a female student?"
Buffy swerved the car, causing another driver to honk their horns and shout something about people in fast cars.
"Why would you say that?" 'God, does she know?'
Willow frowned at the worried tone Buffy used.
"Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it." 'If only.'
Buffy fixed her eyes back on the road and decided that some music might help.
Willow sighed, sure she had upset Buffy.
"Look, I'm sorry, sometimes my brain doesn't catch up with my mouth in time."
Buffy didn't say anything, but her grip on the steering wheel lessened.
"And I wont say anything, about you being gay, and I'll make sure Xander doesn't either."
Buffy pulled over to the side of the road, knowing she couldn't have this conversation and drive at the same time.
"Willow, there's no need to keep it a secret, I'm not ashamed of it-"
"No I didn't mean that!" Willow cut her off, not wanting Buffy to think she had a thing against same sex relationships.
Buffy smiled at the venomous tone.
"I just mean, that everyone who is important to me knows my orientation, so its not an issue."
Relaxing some, Willow smiled.
"Then I'm sorry about the student remark. I doubt that you would do that, it was insensitive." 'her bottom lip looks so soft'
Buffy closed her eyes in shame at the thoughts she was having about proving Willow wrong and opened them again to see Willow staring at her lips.
Coughing, Buffy started the car again.
"Apology excepted."
Willow didn't notice that Buffy hadn't agreed with her, but Buffy herself was aware of it.
'I'm going straight to hell.'
-----
Willow rolled her eyes when Xander and Anya finally appeared. They were over two hours late and while she was enjoying the alone time with Buffy, she sensed that the blonde was only there in body and not in mind.
"Hey you two."
Buffy's head whipped up and she smiled. She had never been so happy to see Anya.
"I'm not going to ask, and I don't want to know why you two are late. But, you're here now and the wheel has just opened up."
They all set off to the big wheel and paid their cover to get on.
When they reached the top, Xander remembered why he heated them.
"Oh god look at that."
Willow rubbed his back in sympathy.
"Don't look down."
Buffy and Anya turned to look at Xander.
"Your afraid of heights?" Buffy asked with a frown.
He nodded his head and swallowed hard.
"Then why get on this thing?"
Xander shrugged.
"I just need a distraction."
Anya took this as invitation and moved over to sit in his lap, kissing him hard.
Willow blushed and looked away, seeing Buffy roll her eyes and take in the view from the top.
Anya took her time distraction Xander, leaving the other two occupants of the cart to themselves.
Buffy stood up and walked the short distance to the enclosed railing.
She had to do something about this Willow thing. She hadn't been able to concentrate since the drive down to the carnival.
"Its beautiful isn't it?"
Buffy nodded her head at Willow's' comment.
"I used to live here you know."
Willow turned her full attention to Buffy.
"Yeah?"
Buffy smiled as she remember running into her fathers arms in the park she could see just on the boundaries of the carnival.
"Yeah. Up until I was four I lived here with my parents."
Willow leaned forward and rested her arm on the railing.
"What happened when you were four?"
She was sorry she asked when Buffy's eyes turned sad.
"My mom and dad were in a car accident. It was a drunk driver. My mom died instantly, but my dad was in a coma for a month before he passed away. My dads parents brought me to L.A and raised me."
Willow reached out and rested her hand on Buffy's arm, trying hard not to notice the softness of Buffy's skin.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up bad memories."
Buffy smiled softly and caught Willow's eyes with her own.
"S'okay."
'we are definitely having a moment here' thought Willow.
They were interrupted when Anya coughed loudly.
"We're back on the ground people."
Xander was the first one out, followed by Willow.
Anya grabbed Buffy's arm before the blonde could exit.
"What's going on with you and Willow?"
Buffy's eyes widened.
"Nothing!"
Anya looked at her and Buffy flinched.
"Look, now is really not the time to talk about it okay? But don't worry, its nothing."
Anya let go of her friends arm and nodded.
"Tonight you and me are going to have a conversation."
