Summary- This is set in an alternate universe where Willow ended up moving away and meeting Tara. Now Tara has moved to Sunnydale with Willow.
Notes- I have a vague idea of where I am going with this story, but it may suck. I’m just going to see where it goes and hope for the best lol. Also finding it hard to update quickly because of mountains of Phsyc and English coursework. Thoughts are in << >>
Willow lay awake listening to the peaceful breathing of her lover. She had only managed to sleep for a few hours and even then she had the worst nightmare known to man. She dreamt she was trying to move across the corridor to reach Tara who was slowly being pulled away by Sam. She tried to scream for her but no sound came out and she was forced to watch Tara disappear from sight. She had woken with a cold sweat and some tears falling down her face. She was glad that she hadn’t disturbed Tara with her nightmare because then she would be questioned about what was troubling her.
After lying for a few more moments feeling sorry for herself, Willow got up to shower. She carefully removed the blonde’s arm, which was draped protectively across her stomach and padded to the bathroom. She stood looking in the mirror for a long while processing her thoughts. << I should just ask her what was going on. But if you do then Tara will be madder that you doubted her in the first place. There probably isn’t anything going on. Then why did she lie about where she was going? >>
Willow sighed heavily then climbed into the shower.

Tara woke with a loud yawn. She blinked a few times then turned expecting to see her beautiful redhead lying next to her. She frowned when she saw that she was alone. She sat up to see if Willow was somewhere in the room. << Huh, that’s weird. Willow never gets up without morning snuggles.>>
Tara began to worry that she had upset Willow in some way, the shill ring of the phone interrupted her thoughts. << It’s only 9.30am! >> Tara groaned and reached to answer the phone.
“Hello?”
“Hey Tara, its Sam.”
“Oh hey!”
“Sorry bout phoning so early but I have class and Carrie wants to take me out for breakfast because she thinks that quality time is essential to our relationship or something lame like that.”
Tara smiled, “You love it really.”
“Well….yeah, but she doesn’t have to know that.” Sam laughed.
“So are you still wanting to meet tonight to talk about…” Tara started but heard Willow enter the room, “Um, the thing.”
Sam laughed, “Take it your better half just entered.”
“Got it in one.”
“Ok, I’ll meet you bout eight at mine? That okay?”
“Yeah that’s great.”
“Ok, bye Tara.”
“Bye.” Tara hung up the phone and turned to see Willow who was pulling on her clothes.
“Hey you.”
“Hey.” Willow said with less affection than Tara would have liked.
Tara frowned, “You okay?”
Willow looked at Tara’s face, so full of concern and love. She looked like a kicked puppy and Willow sighed at herself for being paranoid again. Tara didn’t have to tell her everything. Sam is just a friend and Tara didn’t want to tell Willow where she was going because they just fell out. It was understandable. Willow walked over to Tara and kissed her on the forehead.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to be so snippy. Didn’t have good dreams.”
“Oh no, what happened?”
“I thought you were getting taken away from me.”
Tara sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Willow onto her lap, “You will never loose me, ever!”
Willow smiled then kissed Tara softly. Tara moaned when Willow pulled away and stood up. Willow smiled at her annoyed girlfriend, “Sorry baby, I have to meet Buffy in ten minutes.” Willow grabbed her shoes and pulled them on.
“Grrr, well I better not keep you since she had slayer strength and would probably kick my ass for keeping her best friend hostage.”
“A willing hostage.” Willow added then grabbed her jacket, “You’re going out tonight right?”
Tara looked guilty, “Yeah, um not for long, be back about ten.”
Willow felt a pang in her stomach when she saw Tara’s guilty look << Don’t be paranoid! >>
“It’s okay, I said I’d go to the Bronze with Buffy anyway so I’ll probably be late back from that. Plus, we will have double snuggle time to make up for.” Willow said before turning to leave.
Tara coughed loudly, “Aren’t you forgetting something?”
“God can’t believe I nearly forgot!” Willow said before walking over to her bed...and grabbing her wallet off the bedside table then sending a sneaky grin Tara’s way.
“Come here missy!” Tara said before grabbing Willow by the waist and pulling her down on the bed and straddling her. She then kissed her passionately, making Willow completely forget that she was leaving a minute ago. Tara however thought it was unfair to keep Buffy waiting and broke the kiss. Willow whimpered and Tara had to use all her willpower to pull herself off the redhead. She got off the bed and stood.
Willow realised that she wasn’t getting anymore Tara-kissage and got up to stand opposite Tara, “Okay now that was just plain mean!”
Tara moved forward and grabbed the redhead’s butt making Willow gasp a little, “Well that’s what you get for trying to be naughty.” Tara said huskily.
Willow gulped and Tara decided to stop torturing her lover and quickly skipped to the bathroom calling back, “See you later.”
“Meanie.” Willow said once Tara had left.
* * * * * *
Buffy was looking at her watch frustrated. << She’s always late! I swear next time I am gonna give Willow some handcuffs so she can restrain Tara and get here on time…actually that would probably make her later. >> Buffy shook her head to rid it of that mental image. She spied her red head friend making her way merrily into the Espresso Pump. Willow spotted a pissed Buffy and moved a bit faster over to her table.
“Sorry I’m late.” Willow said before sitting down.
“Do I know you?” Buffy joked, “Oh yeah you’re Willow right?”
“Very funny! I’m not that late.”
“It’s okay…you have…studies.”
“Yep lots of…studying.” Willow smiled.
Buffy decided to change the topic, “So, what you up to tonight?”
Willow sighed, “Nothing, Tara is going out to meet….a student type friend.” Willow wasn’t even going to try and explain her complicated love life to her friend.
“Oh ok then, hey did I tell you what Riley did the other night? It was sooo sweet!”
Willow thought about her blonde goddess as Buffy rambled on about her cardboard boyfriend.
<< I’m so glad I’m gay! >>

Willow was wandering back to her dorm after a heavy night at the Bronze. There wasn’t any drink but there was definately dance action. If that’s what you could call it. Willow was anxious to get home and wait for her girlfriend.
She spun round the corner to her hallway but stopped when she saw Sam and Tara talking outside her door. She hid behind the corner and managed to convince herself that she wasn’t listening in…she was admiring the wall…it was one amazing wall after all.
“Thanks for tonight, it’s helped a lot.” Tara said.
“Anytime.”
“Oh…and I know i've said this before…but Willow CAN’T find out!”
“Don’t worry Tara, I am a master at keeping secrets. I’ll see you later honey.”
Willow’s jaw dropped when she saw Sam kiss Tara on the cheek then walk back to her own dorm.
<< Oh god! Oh god! Nooo! Why is this always happening to me?!? >>
Tears were streaming uncontrollably down Willow’s face as she ran to Buffy’s. Tara was sure she heard something and looked around her. She shrugged and stepped into her dorm.
TBC – Yes I am that evil and will leave it here for now!!
