~psst, here comes the angst.~
Before Willow came back, Tara arrived. It looks like the foursome is spending the night at Mom's. I just hope she has a big dinner planned or otherwise, it might get messy. The look on Willow's face when she came back in and found both Faith and Tara told me I was in trouble when we got time alone.
I grabbed the bag I packed for Willow and I before taking her hand and heading down to the car. I had to giggle as I watched Faith try and get Tara all flustered by teasing her. I know for a fact that Tara doesn't mind, but Faith is going to have trouble of her own when they alone.
The ride home was spent with me trying to suck up by leaning my head on Willow's shoulder. I was running my hands down the inside of her thigh, but Willow was being adamant about not letting me off the hook. Looks like I might have to take Dawn for a walk for sucking up gifts. I'd take Faith, but she has her own problems.
As soon as we entered the house, Willow let go of my hand and went straight to the kitchen. I headed upstairs to drop our bag off and see if Dawn wanted to a walk and talk. I peeked into her room and saw the sweetest thing. Janice was letting Dawn use her as a chair while they read, and I smiled at Janice when she saw me standing in the doorway.
I guess I'm going solo, so I went down the steps and out the door. I'd blame Willow's mood on hormones, but she was always getting pissed at me when I would make things easier, and that was before we were dating. When Sasha saw me come in, she knew what I needed. I walked around looking for other gifts when I ran into her wife, Lexi, and she decided to sit me down.
"Buffy, what did you do this time? Let me guess, you are doing too much, and it pissed her off,' at my nod Lexi continued, 'Sasha used to be like that too, and I'll give you the same advice. When she wants help, she will ask you for it,"
After walking us back to the counter, Lexi went behind with Sasha and handed me the card for the flowers. I pretty much wrote that I love her, and I was sorry and would stop being so overprotective. I grabbed my arrangement and headed for home. I took a few short cuts while I went through my latest behavior.
I know this is going to be hard because I have always been this way, and I know that because of the baby and the fact that Willow and I are dating is the reason that my protectiveness has kicked into high gear. I was brought out of my internal discussion by the feeling that I was being followed.
I didn't get the demon vibe as I started to twist and turn my patterns to try and shake whoever is tailing me. I would call Faith for help, but that might lead to me getting caught. I decided to find the quickest way to get back onto the street that way, I might get the inkling of my tail.
I knew I was closing in on Hadley when I felt that I had more than one tail. I grabbed my phone and typed Initiative before stuffing my phone in the flowers, just in case. I was cutting through trees as I was almost on the sidewalk when I felt something pinch my neck. I went to reach for it, but before I could, everything went black.
~wanna know what happens next let me know. hehe~ z.
