Part four
Willow was skipping as they all left the carnival grounds.
"Will, you okay?" Xander looked at his friend, wondering why she was so happy.
Willow smirked and looked over at Buffy.
"Wait until you see the car we came in."
Anya looked over at Buffy, an eyebrow raised.
Buffy fidgeted and looked away.
"Which car is it?"
"The new one."
Anya rolled her eyes. Buffy sure did love her cars.
"And the best thing? She's going to let me drive it later!" Willow was giddy.
Anya spat out the mouthful of coke she had just taken.
"You're what?"
Willow and Xander paused, neither knowing why Anya sounded pissed off.
Buffy rolled her eyes and took out her car keys.
"Its no big deal Anya."
Anya huffed.
"Sure, its nothing."
Buffy knew what Anya was talking about, but the others didn't, so it was okay.
The two teenagers let it drop, knowing they were missing something, but didn't know what.
-----
The ride back was filled with talking, mostly Willow's.
Anya and Xander had left in his car, leaving Buffy alone again with Willow and a knowing look from Anya.
"I wish Cordy could have been here."
Buffy's jaw tightened, trying to hide her jealously.
"Your close then?"
Willow looked at the blonde out of the corner of her eye, wondering why she sounded so strained.
"Yeah, we've been best friends since the first grade, me, Cordy and Xander."
Buffy relaxed her jaw.
"Maybe next time though." Willow added on, hoping that Buffy got that she had enjoyed herself.
Buffy made an hmm sound and eased the car around yet another bend.
"How fast can this thing go?"
Buffy shrugged, then got a wicked look on her face.
"Want to find out?"
Willow shook her head no.
"Too much traffic."
Buffy smiled and took the turnoff to the left instead of the right.
"Where we're going, we'll be the only ones on the road."
Willow frowned and took the phone Buffy handed her.
"Call your parents, tell them you wont be home for a few hours still."
Willow looked at the phone, before looking at Buffy.
"Trust me, you'll love it."
-----
One hour later, they were still driving.
"Okay, enough. Where are we going?"
Buffy heard the nervousness in Willow's voice and frowned at it. She reached over and turned the radio down before concentrating on the road as she spoke.
"Are you okay?"
Willow sighed, thinking Buffy wasn't going to tell her.
Buffy chanced a look at her travelling partner.
"We're going to L.A."
Willow's eyes widened.
"Are you crazy?"
Buffy wanted to pull the car over, but as they were on the highway, she couldn't really do that.
"My cousin owns a race track that we can use."
Willow's eyes widened. 'her whole family must be rich'
When Willow didn't say anything, Buffy sighed. She had actually been giddy herself, and it wasn't solely from the impending track visit.
"Look, if you don't want to, we can go back, I just thought-"
"No," Willow cut Buffy off and sent a smile over to the blonde.
"I was just shocked that's all."
Buffy chanced another peak, smiling when she saw the smile on Willow's face.
"Just think, Xander will be so jealous."
-----
"Lorne!" Buffy ran over to the man standing by the edge of the track, and threw herself into his arms.
"Hey Sugarplum!" He picked her up and spun her around as if she weighted nothing.
When he put her down, he noticed the redhead standing a few feet away, watching with a smile on her face.
"And who is this beauty? You've been holding out on us! When did you go and get a new girlfriend?"
Both Buffy and Willow blushed and as Buffy went to explain, Willow pulled on her arm to stop her.
"Its still very new."
Buffy turned wide eyes to Willow as Lorne smiled.
"Be right back you two." He ran off to talk to his track manager, leaving the two behind.
"What the hell was that?"
Willow took her hand off Buffy's arms and sighed, wrapping her own around herself.
"I just figured it would be easier than telling him that I'm your student and answering all the questions that would bring."
Buffy sighed and shook her head.
"He's family Willow."
Willow's head lowered and Buffy sighed.
"But, I guess its okay, and it would stop the questions I know he would ask."
Willow perked up with a smile and nodded her head, indicating that Lorne was coming back.
"So, Sweetie, I want details!"
Buffy groaned and looked at Willow, it was her story after all.
-----
Willow screamed as the car went faster, taking it over 150mph. Buffy laughed and pressed the peddle harder, really pushing her new toy.
"How cool is this?" She had to shout to be heard over Willow's scream.
"Do you want me to slow down?" Willow was still screaming, and Buffy didn't know what to make of it.
Willow turned to grin, even though she was scared.
"No, go faster!"
Buffy didn't dare take her eyes off the road, but she did smile.
"I love this car."
-----
Lorne watched from the stands as his cousin took her car through its paces.
As she went faster, he stood up, worried something would happen.
When she was a teenager, Buffy refused to get behind the wheel of a car, swearing that she would never drive.
One day down at the track changed that and she was hooked.
He watched as Buffy controlled the car around yet another bend and sighed, trusting in her handling of the car.
As he pictured her with the redhead, he smiled. He hadn't seen her happy in too long, and it was about time she found some again.
-----
"That was excellent!" Willow spun around and threw her arms around her driver, not noticing when Buffy stiffened before returning the embrace.
'You are so going straight to hell Buffy' Buffy groaned as she felt Willow's chest pressed up against her own.
"Hey little cousin, nice driving." Lorne gave her a pat on the back and smiled at Willow, who still had one arm around Buffy.
"How about we go and have some food?"
Buffy perked up at the mention of food.
"Sure, but it can only be a quick bite, we, I mean I have school tomorrow."
Lorne frowned, but let the slip go.
"And how is the new job going?"
Both Willow and Lorne smiled when they saw Buffy's face light up.
"Its amazing..." Buffy went on to gush over her new job to Lorne, while Willow shook her head, getting her thoughts back on track, and away from where they wanted to be, back in Buffy's arms, and for the relationship charade to be true.
