Part 6 Two Tickets to Paradise (Eddie Money)Willow and Tara looked at their tickets as they boarded the plane. A non-stop flight to Hawaii was just what the doctor ordered, well he would’ve if they’d seen him.
“Ah man, you got the window seat.” Willow pouted to Tara who gave a bemused look to her friend at the redhead’s reaction to their seating positions.
“What do you like the window seat?” Tara asked still a little confused.
“Yeah, I like to look out at the clouds below and imagine I’m flying.” Willow noted with a smile.
“We will be flying.” A confused Tara answered.
“Yeah but I mean without the benefits of jet fuel and a pressurised cabin to get in the way.” Willow tried to explain.
“Oh you mean like flying like a bird.” Tara replied, finely catching on to where the redhead was going.
“Yeah, well except for the wind in your face, but that’s not always a good thing. Have you ever stuck your head out of a car window while its driving, very hard to breathe.” Willow babbled as Tara just shook her head slightly and smiled, she loved cute Willow babble.
“Well hey, I’ll let you have my seat as I’m such a good sport.” Tara smiled and watched Willow’s face fill with glee.
“Really, you don’t mind?” Willow asked excitedly.
“Not at all, besides I can see how happy it makes you so how could I say no.” Tara smiled at the excited redhead.
“Thank you, thank you.” Willow squealed as she pecked Tara on each cheek and found her seat by the Window. As soon as she sat down the realisation of what she had just done dawned on her and she turned around shocked at herself to gauge the blonde’s reaction.
Tara stood there not quite sure what just happened. She’d just offered Willow her window seat and the next thing she knew was soft, wonderful, warm Willow lips ever so slightly brushing against each of her cheeks. Tara could still feel the tingling sensation of the pecks and slowly brought her hands up to rub the two spots Willow had kissed her. She quickly regained her composure as she saw Willow looking at her almost ashamed of what she did quickly pulled her hands away and sat down next to the redhead.
“Friend’s plant kisses on each other’s cheeks all the time, I mean it was only a peck, more like something you’d get from your parents.” Tara tried to rationalise in her head. “But they were so soft and warm and wonderful.” Tara continued in her head as she sighed as she longed for Willow’s lips to once again brush against her skin.
Willow went all avoidy, she didn’t really want to look at Tara so she could see the blonde scold her. She couldn’t believe she’d done something so rash like that but the feeling of Tara’s soft smooth skin brushing against her lips brought a tingle up her spine and she yearned for more. She managed to turn her head to steal a gaze at the blonde and found Tara already looking at her. They shared a smile and Tara put some headphones on and fastened her seatbelt. She then pulled out a book she’d brought on the plane with her. Willow put her own headphones on and fastened her own seatbelt. Willow stole another glance in the direction of the blonde and found herself openly staring at the bare patches of skin she found on Tara’s neck, arms and all around her face. She imagined her lips ever so lightly brushing against every square millimetre of her fair skin and drifted into a dreamy haze. Only the voice of the captain over the loud speaker managed to jolt her out of her daydream long enough to concentrate on the take off. She knew though that for the next few hours that Tara’s skin and her lips would most definitely be filling her thoughts.
… … … …
Willow and Tara walked into their hotel room right behind the bellboy that carried their luggage up with him. They generously tipped the young man who smiled gratefully to the two women and left promptly, closing the door behind him. Willow collapsed on the large king-size bed and Tara quickly followed. They lay there exhausted for a moment before Tara slowly rose and looked around the room.
“Ah Will, do we have another part where there’s another bed?” Tara asked in confusion as she scanned the room to find only a dresser on each side of the bed, a large t.v situated in front of the bed and a small en suite bathroom. With Tara’s words, Willow herself rose from her comfortable lying down position to scan the room. To her disbelief she also noted the lack of another bed.
“Um maybe we should call someone, I’m sure there’s been a mistake somewhere.” Willow quickly noted as she moved to the phone to dial the front desk.
“It’s pretty late Will, there’s a couch near the window that I could sleep on if you felt uncomfortable sharing the bed. We could fix things up in the morning.” Tara stopped Willow from dialling with her sweet voice.
“We I suppose we could leave it till morning, but there is noway you’re sleeping on the couch. This bed is huge and I insist you take half, god knows how many times we’ve crashed together on your couch. This would only be more comfy in this spacious bed.” Willow babbled as she tried to think of a reason to get Tara into bed with her. Tara just smiled, she’d been looking for an opening to share the large bed with the redhead and she knew Willow wouldn’t let her sleep on the couch. “Mission accomplished.” She said to herself as she made her way back to the bed and plonked back down next to Willow.
The two girls removed their leis that they had received at the airport and placed them on each side of the bed. They took turns in the rather spacious bathroom as it turned out to be and promptly got changed for the evening. Willow walked into the main part of the room and saw Tara lying close to the middle of the bed with the t.v switched on. Willow crawled under the blankets and straight away cuddled up next to Tara, lying her head on the blonde’s shoulder. She looked up and smiled at Tara who promptly returned the smile and wrapped a protective arm around Willow.
Tara turned her attention to the high-speed chase on the t.v for a moment before her attraction towards Willow brought her eyes back towards the redhead. When she looked back down Willow was already fast asleep and snoring lightly, the long flight and exhausting day had caught up with her. Tara switched of the t.v and made herself comfortable without waking Willow. She lightly ran her fingers through the red locks of the girl next to her and gently kissed her on the forehead. Willow’s face stretched into a smile whilst she slept at the touch and Tara cuddled up close to Willow and in a few moments found herself in a wonderful slumber.
… … … …
Willow had found a perfect spot on the beach and had laid her towel out nicely for a great afternoon of sunbathing. The pitch to the clients was still a good twenty-four hours away and Willow knew worrying about it would not help one bit. So instead she decided that the best thing she could do was to try and relax, so here she was, towel and swimsuit all set out for a nice relaxing afternoon.
Willow’s mind started to race instead of relaxing as she spotted Tara walking down the steps and onto the sand. She’d spotted the blonde straight away, the fact that she was wearing a very revealing two piece bikini that was just vertical black and white stipes covering her most private regions. Willow tried with all her willpower to keep her jaw connected to the rest of her face but the sight of the blonde in the bikini had it instantly hitting the floor. Tara noticed Willow and smiled and waved over to where the redhead was sitting.
Tara spotted Willow as she walked onto the sand, Willow looked rather flustered and the sight before the blonde was getting her worked up quite a bit as well. Willow was sitting on her towel, her legs folded up like an “A” in front of her while she leant back, supporting her weight with her hands. The way she was sitting accentuated her small breasts perfectly in the two piece yellow poker-dot bikini the redhead wore.
Tara made her way over to the redhead, swaying her hips for the redhead and anyone who scared to stare, which was most of the beach. She laid out her towel next to the redhead’s and pulled of a small backpack she had been wearing and placed it next to her towel. She layed down on her belly and opened her bag, shuffling through it looking for something as Willow watched on with great interest.
Tara pulled out a thick novel and some suntan lotion. Just the sight of the bottle had Willow squirming on her towel at the thought of rubbing it sensually all over the blonde’s skin. Tara turned and smiled at her offering her the bottle.
“If you do me, I’ll do you.” The blonde smiled almost seductively at the redhead. Willow barely managed a gulp before taking the bottle from the blonde.
“O-o-okay.” Was all a nervous Willow could manage to sputter out. She straddled Tara’s waist and squirted some of the lotion onto the upper part of Tara’s back. She slowly started to rub it into the skin, becoming just a little more adventurous as she continued to keep at it.
Tara had her book open in front of her but to her, all the words were a blur. The only thing going through her thought process at the moment was Willow’s hands gently rubbing the lotion into her back. She gasped the few times Willow’s hand snaked down and brushed the side of her breasts. She felt the warm liquid squeeze onto her skin again as Willow applied more lotion and began to lather up the small of her lower back. She hoped the redhead wouldn’t be able to smell her arousal as she drifted further south, as she didn’t want to scare Willow of.
Willow was in heaven, she was touching Tara all over and the rubbing in of oil was a perfect excuse. She had “accidentally” slipped her hands down to graze Tara’s breasts a few times and now her intentions were heading south. Tara’s nice firm ass cheeks just beckoned to her squeezed and Willow found the pull of it just irresistible. Willow squirted some more lotion onto the top of Tara’s thigh and gently started to work the lotion into the skin around it. Willow made sure that she gave Tara’s firm cheeks a nice old covering before slipping her hands down to the inner thigh, “not somewhere you’d want to get burnt.” She reassured herself that everything she was doing could be justified if the blonde questioned her. Lucky for her she found no resistance coming.
Tara couldn’t believe how articulate Willow was being with her covering, it seemed like she was covering every inch of her body, not that Tara was complaining of course. She tried hard to stifle her moans when Willow squeezed her ass cheeks or when her hand slipped down her inner thigh, oh so close to her now very moist centre. She preyed to any goddess that would listen that Willow wouldn’t notice and be freaked out. Much to her relief and disappointment, Willow moved down to her calves and started to gently massage the firm muscles there.
Willow sighed happily, she’d gotten away with touching Tara all over and she hadn’t been slapped in the face or something worse. Even better was the fact she’d now have Tara’s hands all over her body as the blonde covered her body in suntan lotion and rubbed it in.
“All done.” Willow said with a smile as she regrettably moved from atop the blonde and positioned herself on her towel similar to Tara had done for her. She held out the bottle for the blonde and watched Tara take it from her with a large smile on her face.
Tara was very reluctant to straddle Willow as the redhead had done her as to the obviousness of her arousal would be to Willow by the fact that Willow knew she hadn’t been swimming yet, though her bikini bottoms begged to differ. She carefully straddled the redhead so not to let her moist piece of cloth come into contact with the redhead and began a similar process to which Willow had taken. She squirted lotion onto Willow’s upper back and began massaging.
Willow felt Tara’s hands touch her bare back and sighed pleasurably at the contact. She loved the feel of Tara’s hands all over her skin, though she felt her bikini strap regularly get in the way. She contemplated undoing it for the blonde but thought that it bordered on the obvious and despite the obvious affection Tara was showing her, the redhead remained oblivious. Willow could feel her own feeling of arousal start to gather at the focal point of he body and the sensations that ran down her spine was something that she’d not felt for quite sometime.
Tara covered Willow’s neck, shoulders and arms before she went back and started on the redhead’s feet. She didn’t want to seem to eager to touch Willow around the middle of her body though her mind was screaming at her to hurry up. She carefully massaged the redhead’s foot, rubbing her thumbs into the sole of Willow’s foot as she made sure that Willow’s feet were covered. It’d be very painful walking around with sunburnt feet she deduced as she continued to make sure the other foot received the same amount of protection.
Willow could feel Tara slowly moving up the back of her legs. First of her calves, then the back of her knee was subjugated to the torturous pleasure of being mauled by the blonde’s hands. Tara’s hands then made a beeline for the back of Willow’s thigh. She felt the muscle tighten as soon as her hands roamed over it as she started a slow sensual rub of the firm bit of flesh.
Willow bit her lip to stop her from making some ungodly sound as Tara worked the lotion into the top part of her leg. The blonde’s hands were so wonderfully gentle and sensual she had to fight the urge to scoot down a little so her centre would brush up against Tara’s hand. Willow never thought she’d feel this way again, let alone with another woman. The scary thing is that despite the sexiness of the situation, neither girl had confessed their growing feelings for each other and the thought that her feelings would be multiplied by so much if they were to get together gave Willow a bit of extra incentive.
“All done.” Tara reluctantly removed her hands from Willow’s body and put the lotion back into the bag. She lay back down on her towel and looked over and smiled at Willow. Tara couldn’t ever remember feeling this way about someone and it scared her. Scared her that she couldn’t find the courage to tell the invigorating woman how she felt. Scared that her feelings might not be reciprocated and scared that if they weren’t she might loose the close relationship they’d built over the short period of time they’d known each other. That was what scared her the most, even though she had Alex, the connection she shared with Willow far outweighed that of the young man and it was the fear she’d have to overcome else she may never be able to tell Willow her feelings.
Both girls looked at each other, not seeing in their eyes what was most obvious to anyone else who cared to look. Though they both wanted to believe that the other showed signs, neither wanted to believe them for the chance they may build false hopes. Words needed to be said and they needed to be said soon though with the pitch for the Jacob’s report the following evening, neither was going to risk their relationship before that. Though if everything went well, as they hoped it would, there would be plenty of time for divulging of feelings at the celebration party.
… … … …
The celebration [arty was in full swing. The meeting had been a big hit, and to celebrate they were at a Hawaii themed party at their hotel, funny since they were actually in Hawaii. Plenty of Hawaiian shirts made the rounds for the guys whilst the girls were mostly decorated in grass skirts and coconut bras. Though the grass skirts weren’t just restricted to the ladies, the coconut bras generally were.
Willow and Tara received many offers of congratulations on their successful work on the Jacob’s report, both were more relieved than happy over the events of the previous evening and decided that maybe letting their hair down would be good for them tonight.
They both stood in a corner drinking margarites and other various alcohol-fuelled drinks to get them in the mood for the party, which was well into full swing with, conga lines and all forming. They each admired each other in the grass skirt and coconut bra as it revealed plenty of skin, so neither of them was complaining.
“You wanna dance?” Tara asked, finally drinking enough courage to ask the beautiful redhead onto the dance floor.
“Sure.” Was Willow’s simple reply as she took the offered hand from Tara and followed the blonde to the middle of the dance floor.
Tara wrapped her arms around Willow’s neck and felt Willow’s hands find their way to her waist. The music had a pretty fast beat so their hips swayed in time with the music as Willow’s hands began to roam up and down the blonde’s sides as Tara flung her head back, letting her hair fall across her naked back. Tara slid down so her face was level with Willow’s belly with her arms still loosely hung around Willow’s neck. She slowly swayed her way back up, keeping in time with the music, each girl had a big smile on their face as Willow’s hands found the small of Tara’s back and gently began the caress the skin there.
Both girls lost themselves to the fast beat of the music and the need to just hold each other. The loosening effects of the alcohol had certainly taken its toll on the freedom their bodies showed towards each other. Tara’s leg was in between Willow’s two as Willow ground herself onto the blonde’s thigh.
At the change of the song the girls found themselves apart, but only momentarily as the new song started Willow had her arms in the air as she swayed her hips once again in time with the beat. She felt Tara place her hands on her hips from behind and felt the warm centre of the blonde push up against her rear. Tara’s hands started on her belly but quickly began a desperate tour of her body. Willow felt the blonde cup her coconuts before they quickly slid down with the blonde and found their way to her thigh. Willow was becoming highly aroused and was beginning to wonder if this is how Tara really felt or if it was just the alcohol talking. At that moment it didn’t really matter as she completely lost herself in the complete sexiness of the dance. She could feel countless eyes on her as her body slid up and down against Tara’s as the only thing that focused in her mind was the beat of the music and the blonde’s body up against her back.
The music died down considerably and Willow finally took note of her surroundings and seen a few couples in a slow waltz as the music dictated. She felt compelled to leave the dance floor with the sudden change in tempo but felt a hand stopping her when she made her way to leave.
“You don’t want to dance any more?” Tara asked with a pout and puppy dog eyes.
“It’s slow, we’d probably have to you know, slow dance.” Willow stated in case that piece of information had slipped past Tara. Tara just gave her a knowing look, letting her know that it didn’t matter to her. Willow smiled and faced the blonde, placing her hands on the blonde’s waist as she felt Tara’s hands circle her neck. Instead of their sexy dance like before, they slowly moved together, neither really leading, in fact they hardly moved, just staring at each other in the middle of the dance floor as if nothing else existed except the two of them.
“Wow it’s so beautiful out tonight.” Willow stated, not moving her eyes from the blonde in front of her.
“Yeah, so calm and warm and beautiful.” Tara replied, herself not being able to draw her eyes away from Willow.
“I’m really glad we got to work on this project together, seems like Sam was the only person in my life at all, it’s kinda nice to double my social circle. Triple even if you include Alex.” Willow smiled as she continued to babble on.
“Yeah wouldn’t want to forget him, though it’s been great meeting Sam… and you.” Tara replied softly, slowly getting caught up in the moment.
“I can’t believe we’ve only known each other what, six weeks? It seems like I’ve known you forever.” Willow stated, Tara smiled as she shared the sentiment with the redhead.
“I can’t believe we go home tomorrow, I don’t think I want to go home yet.” Tara groaned at the sudden realisation, she’d rather enjoyed her time with the redhead on this business trip.
“We’ll definitely have to talk to Linda about arranging some more business trips.” Willow noted with a big smile.
“Definitely.” Tara smiled and nodded in response. The more time she could spend with Willow, the better.
Willow looked at the smile spread across Tara’s face and knew the timing was right, it was now or never. Her feelings for the blonde girl were overpowering her and it took all she could to resist the urge to just lean in and kiss her. They continued to sway slightly to the music as Willow began to speak.
“Tara I need to talk to you about something, well about us actually.” Willow looked to the ground to gather the last of her courage.
“Yeah.” Tara suddenly took a keen interest in this conversation, not that she hadn’t before, she was just more acutely aware of the words rather than the harmonic voice that was saying them.
Willow brought her head back up to look the blonde in the eyes to reveal her feelings. Just as she was about to speak she felt a vibrate on her leg. She’d carried her cell phone in case of emergency and had instructed Sam to not ring her unless there was one. Willow sighed and figured it’d better be important and quickly pulled the phone to her ear.
“What is it?” Willow asked in a rather disgruntled tone.
“Hey Will, did I catch you at a bad time?” Sam’s voice echoed from the other end of the phone.
“Kinda.” Willow replied, very pissed off at her friend right now.
“So have you told Tara yet?” asked the Sam kinda hopefully from her end.
“Not yet, I was just getting to it before I was rudely interrupted, this better not be why you rang Samantha.” Sam knew Willow was pissed when she mentioned her full name.
“No it’s not, I said I would only ring in an emergency and well it kinda is.” Sam sounded a little hesitant.
“Well, what is it?” Asked Willow more than a little impatiently.
“Your place, it’s kinda empty.” Sam answered into the phone meekly.
“What do you mean empty, care to clarify that for me?” Willow asked getting rather annoyed, she’d broken her contact with Tara and was pacing around rather nervously.
“Your place, it was ransacked, thieves took basically everything.” Sam replied, she sounded like she was afraid Willow was about to hit her despite the fact the redhead was a long way away and well the fact it wasn’t her fault.
“Shit.” Willow spat out, this wasn’t what she needed now, everything was going so great.
“Okay, I’m on my way home. I’ll call you when I get in.” Willow promptly hung up her phone to see a concerned Tara looking at her.
“What was that about?” Asked the concerned blonde.
“Damn thieves stole most of my stuff, I’m headed home, you alright here by yourself or do you wanna fly back with me?” Willow asked sweetly, despite how pissed off she was, she just couldn’t take any of it out on the sweet blonde.
“I’ll go pack.” Tara smiled her support. She wasn’t going to abandon her friend wen she needed her. Willow was glad that Tara wanted to go back with her, although the moment had passed between them, Willow became increasingly confident that something would happen, and soon.
TBC…
